Chapter 9 Incomplete Comb (9)(1/2)
The walkway suddenly became quiet.
The woman in high heels had a lot of water on her body, and her skirt was dripping wet, and the "ticking" and "ticking" sounds were particularly obvious.
The gangster's body was floating in the shallow water, and the long black hair scattered on it pointed to the deadly danger in the dark.
Qi Wushe had already carved a bamboo flute and was leaning against the door, spinning it leisurely in his hand.
Cen Yiyi glanced at Yan Xingchen and moved closer to Yan Xingchen, tensing her body as if she was ready to prevent others from attacking Yan Xingchen at any time.
Scar frowned slightly and looked at the others, seemingly having his own thoughts.
The three of them who came in the first two batches had talked to Yan Xingchen to some extent and even had relationships with each other, so they had different expressions.
The fourth group of people went somewhere unknown. The door was open, but no one was there.
The three people who came in the third batch were the gangster who died last night, the woman in high heels, and the man who was so scared that he collapsed on the ground, named Amu.
After the high-heeled woman said those words, Amu nodded vigorously. Apparently, he and the high-heeled woman encountered the same thing in the third room.
No matter what a person says, it needs to be investigated. After all, it may be made up by a water ghost. But if the words of two people are consistent, it is worthy of belief.
"You mean," Scar broke the silence, "that Yan Xingchen is a water ghost?"
Yan Xingchen looked as usual.
Being accused of being a water ghost, instead of being angry, he felt a subtle sense of excitement.
This is kind of interesting.
He was thinking just now, could the so-called mark of the water ghost be just those sharp bamboo pipes last night? But those were basically aimed at Qi Wushe, and in the end they were all solved by Qi Wushe, and he
It doesn't matter much.
The function of the original mark appears here.
After the water ghost was repulsed by him last night, he imitated his voice and made this scene to increase the suspicion among the players and also lead the center of the spear to his side.
They want to kill the water ghost, and the water ghost also wants to kill them.
This is a game, but the game is not only about strength, but also about psychology.
Just see who can win.
Before he spoke, Cen Yiyi said: "Impossible! When this little gangster ran out last night, Yan Xingchen and I were in the public bathroom, and we also encountered danger. Only after the danger was resolved, we heard that this little gangster
There was movement, and what we heard was him saying that the water ghost was in his room..."
After last night, she became a lot more courageous. She said in one breath and glanced at the woman in high heels, "You said that Yan Xingchen deceived the gangster because you heard it and Amu testified for you. But what we heard was
The gangster said that some of you are water ghosts, and I can also testify for Yan Xingchen."
So in this way, whether it is Yan Xingchen or the woman with high heels, someone will prove what she said.
Amu finally stood up tremblingly and questioned: "Then, when you saw the water ghost, why didn't the water ghost kill you?"
"Because Yan Xingchen saw the water ghost's shortcomings, I fought it off with fire." Cen Yiyi immediately replied, "Then we went back to the room. We didn't interact with the gangster at all. He came out and disappeared so quickly that we all
I didn’t have time to see what was going on.”
Although Yan Xingchen didn't speak, he didn't deny it either.
He had been disturbed by the movement of the bamboo pipe last night and had not slept well. He looked sleepy at the moment, but in fact he was just thinking.
In the eyes of others, the young man's dark eyes revealed fatigue, and his crow-feathered eyelashes fluttered slightly, adding a bit of natural vulnerability to him, as if he was being accused but unable to refute.
In fact, he didn't want to have such a meaningless argument, so he walked around Amu and the woman with high heels, walked to the edge of the corridor, squatted down and observed the body of the gangster.
Scar wanted to open his mouth and continue questioning, but when he saw him like this, he choked up and weakened his voice: "Everyone, calm down first. Cen Yiyi did go out last night. From this point of view, the gangster shouted that there was a water ghost in the room.
Everyone knows about this matter, and you must explain it. After all, only the people in your third room know what is going on."
"That's the water ghost's conspiracy!" The high-heeled woman said excitedly, "Last night, I originally saw Yan Xingchen's kind face and thought it would be more comfortable to live with him. I wanted to change rooms, but his roommate refused, so I had to
After we went back, after the power was cut off, the three of us were assigned. One person sat on the sofa and stayed awake all night, while the other two slept on the bed. We helped each other. But for some reason, the mattress of the bed I slept on kept falling.
There was water leakage. The little gangster was keeping vigil at the time. He saw me fainting from the water under the bed. Maybe he was frightened. He said I was a water ghost, and then ran out... But I am really not a water ghost! If I were a water ghost,
Why didn't I just kill him in the room? There's no need for me to say these things that are not good for me!"
Amu continued: "I think so too. After the little gangster ran out, I also saw the pool of water. I was scared to death at the time, but I was so scared that my feet were weak and I couldn't even scream. Later, the little gangster
There was no sound, and I recovered. And I stayed in the room last night, and nothing happened. She should not be a water ghost..."
"uncertain."
yan
There are no water ghosts here. It’s better to say that as long as you don’t go out last night or..."
He glanced at Qi Wushe, who was playing the bamboo flute over there, "If you don't take the initiative to anger the ghosts, you won't be targeted by the water ghosts, and you won't die. The water ghosts killed people last night, there are limits, and they are small.
After the gangster died, I never encountered the ghost calling the door again, and the water ghost did not continue to lure other people out. This is enough to show that the water ghost must have conditions to kill last night, and it can only kill one person."
His voice is very clear and elegant, his voice is heart-melting, and his tone is neither fast nor slow, and the listeners unconsciously follow his train of thought.
Other people's impression of him is that he is just an ordinary person who is too good-looking but has no special abilities. He even looks a little frail and sick, and can be blown away by the wind, and he can't achieve anything at all.
He suddenly spoke calmly, Scar and others were stunned and did not speak for a while.
"...What are the conditions?" Only Cen Yiyi blurted out, and after asking, she realized that she seemed to have subconsciously determined that Yan Xingchen knew the answer.
Yan Xingchen knew for sure.
He said: "Water."
Scar sneered: "Of course water ghosts kill people because of water, and all fools know that. But we can't survive without water. This is simply a useless speculation!"
He shook his head: "It's not just water. It must be living water."
This kind of southern town is surrounded by mountains and rivers. There are water channels in the courtyard, which are directly connected to the river to prevent rainwater from accumulating on rainy days. It can be regarded as running water.
The faucet in the bathroom can also receive water, and it is still running water.
In their room, the faucets seemed to have been artificially blocked. There was no drop of water, only mineral water prepared by the village chief in advance - this was stagnant water.
Water ghosts do not kill people by calling the door, otherwise Cen Yiyi will die the moment he steps out of the room. Water ghosts can only kill people in a place with living water, so they have to trick people to come out, and little gangsters like this come out on their own initiative.
Yes, the water ghost can also extend its long hair from the water, pull people into the water and suffocate their mouth and nose. This is how the little gangster drowned. There was no external injury on his body, but it looked like he was suffocated.
As soon as he finished speaking these two words, a tone that only he could hear sounded.
[Player No. 13 Yan Xingchen, because you correctly clicked on the clues related to the first night's instance, you received 3 plot point rewards. Note: The plot point rewards can be accumulated. When the instance is settled after the end, your plot points will become your

[The plot points are temporarily listed in your information panel and can be viewed at will in the current instance. Please keep up your efforts.]
There is such a thing.
Not only was there a reward, but his speculation was also verified.
What a good thing.
Just knowing this is not enough to explain the leakage of water in the bed in the third room. There are also some doubts that do not make sense. For example, in some rooms, the door is opened by ghosts, but in the room of the gangster, something happened inside the room.
This water ghost is not easy to deal with. Not only does it use ghost skills to kill people, it also knows that the human heart is fragile and the simplest things are often the most effective. Knowing that living water is a medium, it can only increase the chance of survival. He wants to get rid of this dirty thing.
Being afraid of coming out is not enough.
Scar was still questioning and retorting: "You said it's living water, is it living water? If you were a water ghost, you could make up things at will to deceive us, or even act out some suitable situations, and then kill us somewhere else?"
Amu didn't believe it either: "But we also saw water seeping from the bed. The water ghost can move the water into the room, so why do you want to trick people out? And what we have to do now is to find out who is the water ghost and find a way.
Kill it and complete the mission, otherwise none of us will survive..."
Qi Wushe finally spoke: "Looking for it, of course I have to look for it. Since everyone is insisting on their own opinions, isn't it right now that the lady in the third room and my roommate are both suspicious? Oh yes, this lady yesterday
You want to change rooms with me tonight. That’s easy. I’ll change rooms with you today. You and Yan Xingchen live together. It doesn’t matter which one of you is a water ghost, it has nothing to do with the rest of us. Isn’t this solved?
"
The woman with high heels immediately refused: "I'm not a water ghost, why should I live with the person who is the most suspected? What if he is a water ghost and kills me at night?"
"Then why don't you stab Yan Xingchen? Players who kill players will be wiped out. If you kill him, if he dies but you don't, it means you are not a player but a water ghost. If he doesn't die, you don't die either, which means he is a water ghost.
You are a player, so cold weapons cannot kill him. If he dies, you will also be wiped out because of cannibalism, ah, that would be really unfortunate."
Yan Xingchen: "..."
This bad idea is truly worthy of Qi Wushe's coming up with it.
The woman with high heels turned blue and didn't move at all - if she was a water ghost, she would definitely not be able to do this, otherwise she would be exposed. If she were a player, her bigger purpose in pointing the finger at Yan Xingchen was to distance herself from herself.
Suspect, she herself is not 100% sure of Yan Xingchen's identity and dare not violate the Qiming Treaty.
Yan Xingchen didn't say anything at all. Firstly, he was used to Qi Wushe's mouth. Secondly, no matter how careless he was, he would never give a good look to the person who "accused" him.
If you have the leisure, you might as well look for more clues and get more plot points.
He glanced around and asked, "Where are the two people in the fourth room?"
Amu said: "We met them when we were leaving the house. We hadn't seen the body at that time. They said that the bloody clothes on the body were too leaky and wanted to go to the village chief to ask if he had a change of clothes.
It can be used temporarily. After they left, we walked a little further and found the body."
To be continued...
