In the Death Game, NPCs need to be highly dedicated.
Even if one were to dig a Disney Castle with their toes, even if they were socially dead from embarrassment, even if everyone around thought they were a weirdo, a dedicated NPC would still continue the storyline!
As the dance concluded, Xue Qing clutched Ren Tou and wept, “Yan Ruyi, you were harmed by one among them. Rest assured, I promise you, I will find your killer! I will avenge you!”
[Please players determine the truthfulness of Xue Qing's words. After time is up, please cast your votes. Limited to 3 minutes.]
An important clue?
According to Xue Qing's confession, one among the players is the murderer of Xie Ruyi!
But all these deductions hinge on the fact that Xue Qing isn’t lying!
It’s well known that a man’s words can be deceitful!
If he can deceive even a ghost, how much easier would it be to fool a human?
At this moment, the other players were in an uproar!
“What does this mean? Are we saying that one of us is the actual murderer of Xie Ruyi?”
“Don’t panic! The Game allows us to judge whether he is lying or not, which means what he says may not be true!”
“What if he’s telling the truth? What if we happened to team up with the murderer? Would the Game also label the murderer’s teammates as suspects?”
"If the Game progresses to a point where there's a segment about hunting down the killer?"
The creators of the Game truly excel at manipulating emotions!
With just one sentence, they sowed discord among the players, leading them to speculate against one another.
They even tempted players to disband their teams voluntarily!
It's important to remember that in a Horror Game, solo players are the most vulnerable to being killed!
Amidst the ongoing arguments, Xie Tengfei spoke up: "Don't be afraid! The final task of the Game won't change! Our mission is to uncover the truth, not to hunt down the killer!"
Though he wasn't a good person, his words carried significant weight.
The clamor among the crowd gradually subsided.
"Game wants us to turn against each other through suspicion! We must not fall into their trap!"
Lu Ming cautioned.
Three minutes ticked by slowly.
If they still couldn't uncover the truth after three minutes, no one knew what they would face next.
“She said she was harmed by someone among us, so that person must be someone who could meet her alone,” Zhan Lang spoke up.
“Exactly! My profession would never allow me to meet her alone!”
“Me too, my profession is quite humble; I shouldn’t have been able to meet the Oiran alone!”
Many people agreed with Zhan Lang’s statement.
“So, as long as we reveal our Identity Cards, we can determine whether Xue Qing's words are true or false,” Zhan Lang suggested.
“But your method only eliminates some people's suspicions! What about the rest? Are you going to label them all as the culprit?” Xie Tengfei objected.
“Moreover, the Game only asks us to discern the truth in Xue Qing's words, not to identify the murderer! There must be another way!” Lu Ming added.
Although Xie Tengfei and Lu Ming stood on the same side, both refuting Zhan Lang’s viewpoint, their purposes were entirely different.
The crowd was at a standstill.
Lin Xun glanced at the naked man on stage with a look of disdain, muttering under his breath.
“With a scumbag like you, how can you help others seek revenge? You should use your head for that!”
For a moment, everyone turned their attention to him.
What kind of fool is this!
At a moment of life and death, he is still making sarcastic remarks about a scumbag?
But Lu Ming suddenly grasped the meaning behind Lin Xun's words.
"Old Xie, Xue Qing has nothing on him!" Lu Ming analyzed loudly beside Xie Tengfei, ensuring everyone could hear.
"I know very well that he has nothing on him."
"If he has nothing with him, how can he take revenge?"
Lu Ming's eyes were filled with certainty and seriousness.
In that instant, everything became clear.
[Three minutes have passed, please make your choice.]
[Is what Xue Qing said true or false? YES/NO.]
"Choose NO!" Xie Tengfei said to everyone.
The other players unanimously selected NO.
Lian Zhanlang was no exception.
In the basement's cabinet.
Xu Jingyu looked at the suddenly appearing option with a puzzled expression.
"Didn't I already choose? Why is it popping up again? Is it a System BUG?"
This time, she decided not to make a choice.
Just as she reached out her right hand to close the option, a spider landed on her fingertip with a soft thud.
Her right hand twitched.
Her finger instinctively pressed on the NO option.
...
【All Players chose NO, Game continues!】
Xue Qing picked up Xie Ruyi's Head.
Under the candlelight, Xie Ruyi's Head flickered with an eerie expression.
It was clearly just the head of a deceased person, yet for some reason, just one glance sent chills down the spine. Xie Ruyi's hair danced like strands of spider silk.
Amidst the lively strands of hair, a faint mark could be seen at the back of her neck...
At that moment, Xue Qing placed the Head before him and knelt down fiercely.
It was as if he was worshipping the deity in his heart.
“Yan Ruyi, you come and go with a clear conscience! In the next life, do not fall into the mortal realm again!”
Xue Qing expressed her hopes for Xie Ruyi.
“Clear conscience? Since Xie Ruyi is an Oiran, she must be the real deal. This statement must be true!”
Xie Tengfei spoke with disdain regarding women.
Lin Xun glanced at Xie Tengfei with a strange look.
His understanding of a woman's clear conscience was limited to a certain part of her body.
“Clear conscience can also refer to other things, such as the cleanliness of Xie Ruyi's body. If her corpse is dirty, then she cannot be called clear and innocent.”
Zhan Lang raised an objection.
“But we haven't found Xie Ruyi's corpse at all.”
Lu Ming glanced at the Main Quest.
In that moment, his eyes kept drifting toward Lin Xun.
Lin Xun casually gestured with his lips, then his gaze shifted to the stage.
“Neck.”
Nose?
Sowing?
Notebook?
Neck!
Whose neck?
Lu Ming's gaze was fixed on the stage.
In the center of the stage, Xue Qing knelt, frozen before Xie Ruyi's Ren Tou.
Lu Ming called out Xie Tengfei's name.
"Old Xie! Come take a look!"
Xie Tengfei hurriedly walked up to the stage.
Lu Ming lifted Xie Ruyi's heavy hair.
The thick, dark hair covered Xie Ruyi's bloodless neck.
On her snow-white neck, there was a square mark.
Tattooing Punishment?
In ancient times, if a criminal was punished, a tattoo would be inscribed on their body to mark their crime.
This meant that Xie Ruyi had committed an offense!
Xie Tengfei patted Lu Ming on the shoulder, saying, "Well done! You've found the key clue!"
A faint smile of bitter appeared at the corner of Lu Ming's mouth.
This clue was not discovered by him.
[The player is impressive! They actually used Lu Ming!]
[Why is he pretending to be foolish in front of others?]
[If you and the Killer were in the same boat, would you dare to act too smart?]
[Smart people are uncontrollable. If I were Xie Tengfei, I would definitely eliminate the smartest one in the Game first!]
[The player acted too smart in the first two rounds, fearing they couldn't deceive Xie Tengfei, so they let Lu Ming speak up.]
[But I see that this Lu Ming is not simple…]
