Chapter 65: No One Survives (8)
Why choose yourself?
Maybe it's because at this stage, there really isn't a particularly suspicious candidate.
The books in the study kept appearing in her mind. The reason why "No One Survived" appeared in this story can be explained. What about "The Sword of the Third Young Master"?
There is nothing related to the plot that can be used for reference, but the words from the book that appeared in mind for the first time when saw the book made Gu Chu subconsciously think that this might be the hint given by "One Hundred Thousand".
The most dangerous place is the safest place...
What is the danger?
Every node mentioned in the ballad that triggers the murder is dangerous. In addition, the reader's choice before eight o'clock every night will also bring danger to the selected person.
Gu Chu still has a doubt about the voting mechanism every night.
[Special task: Before 8:00 every night, all readers must choose a murderer you suspect, write the name on the note, burn it before the specified time, choose the right one, and reward a special item, choose the wrong one, the The danger is increasing, pay attention, everyone is not allowed to communicate in private to exclude wrong answers, violators will encounter a terrible crisis]
In this quest, it is only said that the correct choice will be rewarded, and the wrong choice will increase the risk of that day.
But the mission did not say what would happen to the person who was selected, whether everyone who was selected would be in danger, or the person who was voted the most would be in danger.
Or those who are chosen are not in danger, just like the quest says that only wrong choices are punished?
More vaguely, is there only one murderer?
Gu Chu chose himself naturally out of consideration.
She knows that she is definitely not the murderer. Since she chooses the wrong answer, she will definitely encounter danger. If she is selected, she will also be punished. The difficulty she will encounter tonight will likely increase.
She wanted to see what the murderous intention was at night, and whether this danger was related to the hints in "The Sword of the Third Young Master" that she guessed.
Anyway, even if she doesn't choose herself, other readers should choose her tonight. In this case, it's better to make the risk bigger.
Gu Chu licked the protruding fangs, and the blood that stopped flowing in the zombie actually had an almost boiling frenzy.
Coming out of the bathroom, Gu Chu picked up an unopened bottle of mineral water on the bedside table, then took out a sleeping pill from the sealed bag he carried with him, and swallowed it in front of Liu Lian.
Liu Lian knew that "Lin Mo" had to rely on sleeping pills every night to fall asleep.
Gu Chu actually had some doubts about taking sleeping pills.
According to normal logical reasoning, when two people have died in succession, and one of them is very likely to die of murder, "Lin Mo" does not know who the murderer is, and he is still with one of the classmates who has not ruled out the possibility of the murderer. She lives in a room. In this case, will she take sleeping pills to fall asleep normally?
From normal logic, she should wish to stay awake all night and be alert to the other person in the same room, right?
But tonight, Gu Chu is only going to test the crisis in the voting mechanism, and it is very likely to destroy the behavior of the character, so let's put it aside for now.
When lying on the bed, the sleeping pills have begun to work, and the brain feels sleepy.
Just before falling asleep completely, Gu Chu closed his eyes, placed his hands on his lower abdomen, and transformed into a zombie form.
Drugs with extraordinary effects on the human body have no effect on zombies like living dead. The tired feeling dissipated in an instant. Gu Chu's tongue licked the sharp little fangs, and his bloodthirsty desire increased day by day.
At this time, there was still a living body lying beside her, with hot and flowing blood, exuding a tempting fragrance.
Gu Chu bit the tip of his tongue, but sucking his own blood just wanted to quench her thirst. The growing thirst for fresh blood would make her out of control sooner or later.
Gu Chu endured and waited for the danger to come.
At this moment, Liu Lian, who was only a few steps away from her, curled up under the blanket and looked around vigilantly.
Her protective jade pendant was crazily hot, which meant that something terrible appeared in the room she was in!
Liu Lian squeezed the jade pendant tightly. She had never felt such a scorching temperature in the previous stories, but in the last mission, she had already narrowly escaped death. This time she encountered even more powerful ghosts, and she could really survive. ?
Sweating, Liu Lian felt that what she breathed out was scorching hot air. In the silent night, her heart beat like a drum.
Didn't "Lin Mo" feel the approach of that thing?
Gritting her teeth, Liu Lian exchanged a few more talismans for body protection, and placed them behind her feet, on top of her head, and on the left and right sides of her body.
Now she can only pray that the target of that thing is "Lin Mo". In the toilet, she had already selected "Lin Mo" as the object of suspicion.
onlyβ¦β¦
Why didn't they seem to hear each other's breathing and heartbeat?
Is it dead?
Liu Lian squeezed the jade pendant tightly, the temperature almost burning the palm of her hand made her dare not take any action at all.
Before eight o'clock, Chu Chunmin, Chu Xiazi, and Nan Ke also looked for opportunities to place orders, and selected people they suspected.
Because there were not enough clues, Chu Chunmin chose Yu Guang.
No one at this level of readers is a fool. Yu Guang's overly excited reaction and occasional avoidance of sight had already attracted some people's attention.
Chu Chunmin felt that there must be a major breakthrough in Yu Guang's body.
Nan Ke hesitated between Yu Guang and "Lin Mo", because he felt that "Lin Mo" was more likely to be the reader, so he finally chose "Lin Mo".
Nan Ke felt that even if the chosen person would be in danger, as a reader who could appear in this kind of mission, "Lin Mo" was capable of surviving.
In this story line, Nan Ke still has a doubt.
If every song corresponds to a way of death, in order to let everyone who has been arranged to die can only die at that time point, there should be no additional deaths. Because one person dies at a non-death time, it will lead to the collapse of the entire story line.
According to the death logic of "None Survival" that he is familiar with, and the logic of many derivative works in later generations when setting the plot, the order of each death may also be one of the reasons why the next person will fall into the trap.
Once someone dies early, it is very likely to destroy all the foreshadowing left in advance, causing all subsequent arrangements to collapse.
Nan Ke felt that unless there were extremely special circumstances, there should not be a second death tonight, and even in the following days, only one person should die in the order of the songs.
Only in this way can the story of "One Hundred Thousand" be the most perfect performance.
But if there is no death, what is the danger that some people will encounter today?
What is the significance of "Hundred Thousand"'s arrangement to do this?
Nan Ke suddenly regretted it...
On the burnt note, I should write my name.
Most people were anxious and confused, except Chu Xiazi.
After eight o'clock, a key appeared in her palm.
Her guess was correct, that person was indeed the murderer, and this key was the reward from "One Hundred Thousand".
Because there was Chu Chunmin who was watching the night with her beside her, Chu Xiazi did not show the ecstasy in her heart. She squeezed her palm tightly, wanting to know the function of this special item, but it was strange that she was not in this key. Any remnants of power are felt above.
Isn't the special item mentioned in the mission the evil item that "Hundred Thousand" always rewards? There is no trace of filth and evil on it, just like an ordinary key.
Chu Xiazi's expression suddenly became a little weird. She didn't know the meaning of this reward, and it couldn't be put into the task book like other special items. Chu Xiazi could only hide the key in the quest book when Chu Chunmin wasn't paying attention.pocket.
Yu Guang tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep. He desperately wanted someone to chat with him, otherwise the room was quiet and only the sound of breathing was too scary.
Yu Guang was not worried that Wang Haitao was the murderer of Han Xiaona, because when he left the room at noon to go to Han Xiaona's bedroom, Wang Haitao was still in the room, and there was no time to go upstairs to kill Han Xiaona.
And during the time between eating and returning to their rooms separately, he and Wang Haitao also stayed together. He also had no time to commit crimes. Yu Guang was very relieved of each other. He was just afraid of the other people in this villa.
Nan Ke, Lin Mo, Chu Chunmin, Chu Xiazi, and even the weak Jiang Yanyan may all be the murderers.
Yu Guang urgently wants to have someone he trusts, and analyze with him who has the greater motive.
Yu Guang was even more suspicious of Lin Mo. He felt that there was no real friendship between women. Han Xiaona had such a good relationship with the opposite sex. As an old aunt, Lin Mo must be jealous in his heart. He also suspected Chu Chunmin. Min is also interested in Han Xiaona, but Han Xiaona doesn't like his clingy sister, so she finally chooses him.
Chu Chunmin might hold a grudge, and took advantage of this reunion to have sex with Han Xiaona, but when he was rejected, he became furious and killed her.
Yu Guang analyzed it, but found that Wang Haitao never responded to him.
Shouldn't you be asleep?
Yu Guang moved his body, stretched his hand towards the head of the bed, and turned on the bedside lamp on his side.
"Taozi, Taozi!"
Using the small yellow light, Yu Guang yelled at Wang Haitao a few times, but the other party didn't respond, so he simply got out of bed and walked to his bed to shake him awake.
"Tao, Tao, ahβ"
He pulled the body that was sleeping on its side with its back to him, only to see that the body was turned upside down, and it was the carrion body covered in maggots and pus that he had seen at noon.
Empty eye sockets faced his direction, and fat white maggots writhed in the eye sockets.
Yu Guang's mind was stunned for a moment, he backed up a few steps in fright, and then staggered towards the door.
He didn't see that the head of the carrion turned in the direction of his running.
In the room separated by a wall, Gu Chu confronted the rotting corpse that replaced Liu Lian.
She should have been dragged into an illusion, Gu Chu lowered his head and looked at the broken jade pendant in his hand.
This is the reward she got in the second world.
[Broken Jade Pendant]: A barrier-breaking magic weapon that can resist an illusion attack
Now that the jade pendant is shattered, it means that it has resisted an illusion attack for her.
At this time, Yu Guang's ghostly crying and howling came from the door. She glanced at the female corpse on the bed, and rushed to the door. The moment she stepped out of the room, the scene changed.
