Chapter 67: Lost cruise ship (5)

When Gu Buchao was discussing business affairs, he quickly returned to the appearance of Ruan Bai's habit-cold, sensible, careful and bold.
When he talked about the murderer, he didn't say directly how he was attacked, but first let Ruan Bai prepare himself.
"The murderer's assassination method is very weird," he said. "If you can, you'd better get something out of your room that can warn you."
Ruan Bai nodded when he heard the words, indicating that he had made preparations.
Starting in the first few worlds, she learned to spend 10 points to redeem some lipsticks in the system mall, and apply them on the doorknobs and corners of the door. If someone enters her room, they will On the carpet, leave a mark on the door handle.
With this hand, she dodged the ghosts, found a room that was not right, and counterattacked many players who were malicious towards her.
Gu didn't see it, he paused, and went on.
When mentioning the latter, his voice was erratic, as if he was not very sure: "...When I was attacked, it was very weird. I don't remember who he is, but I remember that at the beginning of voting time, we all entered. He appeared after the room."
Gu Buchao didn't know when that person entered the room or how that person left his room. The only thing he could be sure of was that the other party had been waiting for him for a long time.
As soon as Gu Buchao closed the door, the other party waved a fruit knife and violently attacked his fatal place.
As for how Gu Buchao hid himself, in fact, Gu Buchao couldn't remember.
What happened during those few breaths was like a dream, vague.
"I feel as if I have been hypnotized," he said softly, "My consciousness, my memory is completely divided into two different me-one I have never been attacked, I have been sitting since entering the room The seat stayed there until the time was over; the other me, but the other person, fought the person for nearly two minutes, and in the end, he failed to beat me and ran away hastily."
He remembered that his arm was slashed, but he didn't look at his arm afterwards, only to find that his arm was intact.
He obviously beat each other with that person for a long time, but he didn't even remember the face of the person who attacked him.
He seemed to be forcibly implanted in a memory, but those two memories were so real that he couldn't tell which one was fake.
Gu Buchao's only certainty was that just after that person left him, outside the door, the voice of the NPC in charge came.
The steward told everyone that the murderer had successfully committed the murder.
But for a second, the murderer ran away from him in embarrassment.
After listening to Gu Buchao's statement, Ruan Bai frowned deeply.
There is no other reason, but the experience of not taking care of it... it is too unspeakable.
If the person who told her about this was not negligent, but someone else, she would definitely suspect that the other person was lying to her.
But now, Gu Buchao will definitely not lie to her, so this experience is 100% real!
Ruan Bai meditated for a moment, then raised his head to look at Gu Buchao, and tentatively asked, "Gu Brother, are you sure to find out who the real murderer was in the last round?"
Gu Buchao nodded.
He pointed to the corpse in this room and said lightly: "If no accident, the murderer from the previous round lives next to him on the right."
After discovering who the dead man was, Gu Buchao realized that there was only one room between him and the room of the dead player.
The murderer will choose him or this newcomer, 80% of the reason is because they live close to the murderer, his neighbors.
Of course, this was just a guess at the very beginning.
But after Gubu met the secretly delighted look of the player next door, he understood that his conjecture was inseparable.
As for the male players who were voted out in the first place, it really wasn't the murderer.
After listening to him, Ruan Bai said nothing, nodded, indicating that he knew it.
Hearing the footsteps of other players coming from outside the door to find out, Ruan Bai and Gu Bu looked at each other and left here immediately.
In the following time, Ruan Bai hurriedly looked for opportunities to transfer Gu Buchao's information to Xiaoxue and the others, reminding them to pay attention to themselves, especially Xiaoxue.
After that, she began to think about the flaws in the game of finding the murderer.
At the beginning, Ruan Bai had thought about whether to pretend to be weak and seduce the murderer to attack him, thereby catching the opponent.
But if she didn't care about Chao, she completely dispelled the idea.
Even those who have been attacked by a murderer can't remember the murderer's face, so Ruan Bai feels that this method is 80% impossible.
Especially the choice of the victim, it turned out to be random. The murderer would choose Gu Buchao and the newcomer, obviously just for convenience.
Therefore, she can only start from another path.
What she wanted to be sure was what the murderer's special ability was.
Ruan Bai had looked at the corpse carefully, and he was indeed injured and killed, which showed that the murderer's special ability would not enhance his skill.
Otherwise, he would not turn to other people just because he couldn't beat Gu Buchao.
In addition, Gu Buchao's experience made her hesitate.
She didn't believe in whether or not, but she was not sure about how many "special abilities" in it were brought by, and how many were the player's own means.
After she and She Xiaoxue became the hosts of the White Lotus system, Ruan Bai used them to thoroughly understand the things in the escape game system mall.
Although most of the things in the system mall can only be used for ghosts, this does not mean that they cannot be used to confuse players.
Just like her system shopping mall, although most of them are useless things, it can be used occasionally, but there are wonderful special effects.
Also, in the first round of the game, Gu Buchao clearly told her that the time he was attacked was when he was voting and everyone returned to their rooms.
But this is unreasonable and unruly.
"...After the murderer is selected, everyone can come out of the room and move freely for three and a half hours. You use various clues to find who the murderer is, and the murderer must kill someone during this time..."
This was the rule of the game announced by the steward at the time, and Ruan Bai couldn't remember it wrong.
Ruan Bai walked, slowly tapping his fingers on the railing.
A vague guess, through these small clues, kept rolling in her mind, and finally slowly gathered into a clear line.
After a while, she withdrew her hand suddenly.
...
For the rest of the time, Ruan Bai went to the hall to have dinner, and for the rest of the time, she acted alone.
She went to every place on the cruise ship, except the lobby, there were toilets, infirmary, study, staff dormitory, bar... as long as she could go, she went again.
After digging through these places carefully, Ruan Bai stepped on the bell to the hall before the voting time began in the last 15 minutes.
At this time, other players gathered here in unison.
They want to see who was killed.
Just like the last time, no one died in this round of the game until the voting time began in the last 15 minutes.
The 16 players all appeared in the lobby completely and looked at each other in panic.
I don't know if I wanted to imitate the murderer's methods of the previous round. In order not to expose himself in advance, the murderer in this round chose to move the killing time to the end, to the time when everyone entered the room.
If nothing else, someone will die a few minutes after entering the room.
Ruan Bai looked at them calmly, and then returned to the room as before, ready to vote.
Two or three minutes later, the voice of the steward outside the door came in again.
"The murderer has successfully committed the murder," said Guan. "Please fill in the name of the suspected target by yourself."
So Ruan Bai wrote his name on the note and handed it out through the crack of the door.
During this period, her room was still quiet and harmless.
After 15 minutes passed, the bell in the lobby outside the door rang, and a female player was voted out.
When Ruan Bai was searching every corner, he vaguely knew that the female player seemed to be in conflict with a team.
Her death was not so much misunderstood as it was deliberately framed by someone.
Ruan Bai himself didn't know what to say about this result.
The situation she was afraid of was faster than she expected.
Human nature is really something that can't wait.
Only in the second round of the game, there are players who have learned how to use the rules of the game to borrow a knife to kill.
Later, as the players gradually become anxious, and there are more and more frictions and quarrels between each other, this situation will only increase.
She is not the Virgin, she just feels that it is a pity and sadness.
In addition, she is not sure whether the person who was maliciously voted in the future will become her, Xiao Xue Ning, and will not care about them.
The female player was quickly executed.
Ruan Bai listened carefully and found that she was thrown into the sea just like the male players in the first round of the game.
I don't know what this execution means to the owner.
After the female player was eliminated, the third round of the game began in the voice of the manager.
This time the murderer was still not Ruan Bai, nor was it Xiao Xuening who did not care about them.
Ruan Bai might still be disappointed if she did what she used to do. After all, no matter what she thought in her heart, at least possessing the identity of a murderer is equivalent to having the right to immunity from death.
But this time, Ruan Bai was relieved.
"Soft, what should we do?" Ning Rou asked Ruan Bai privately, worrying about Ruan Bai's progress, "It is now the third round of the game...I am worried about you."
Although Ruan Bai is not the smartest, nor the most sociable, in the hearts of these girls, Ruan Bai is their backbone.
In the third round of the game, no one knows who the real killer is or how the killer kills.
They are not stupid. They understand that a good way to break the game is to catch the murderer before the voting starts.
But the murderer also knew this!
They are very cunning. Before voting starts, they will not kill people at all, and will not leave other players a chance at all.
Ning Rou was very upset.
She thought, let Ruan Bai hack the game alone, while the two of them search the background of the game. Is this really good?
What Ning Rou didn't expect was that Ruan Bai listened to her and shook her head slowly at her.
A smile appeared on Ruan Bai's face, and his voice was calm and cheerful: "You don't have to worry, please check with Xiaoxue."
Because, she has guessed what the murderer's special ability is.
