The night passed peacefully, but early the next morning, the players discovered that Li Chao was missing.
When they asked Mr. Dong, Mr. Dong couldn't explain clearly, but Hu Shan told them that Li Chao had left the castle early because of something urgent and had spoken to her before leaving.
At this moment, Liu Zhengping was about to turn his back. Three players had already been lost quietly, and the missing guests were not found. Instead of just sitting there and waiting for death, he might as well give it a try and destroy the dungeon boss's lair.
But before he could take action, a hand from each side stretched out to hold his shoulders. One was You Qiwen. It was not surprising that the two were so close, but the other was Xu Huo.
At this time, Mr. Dong said, "Mr. Ma and Mrs. Ma also left last night."
The players didn't react much. The Ma couple had little contact with other players, and they were most likely cannibals. It would be a good thing for them to die.
Hu Shan, on the other hand, glanced at Mr. Dong, with obvious emotion on her face, "When did they leave?"
"Midnight." As soon as Mr. Dong finished speaking, he heard the servant calling him. He bowed to the players and left.
Hu Shan never had a good attitude towards the players, and was too lazy to maintain the etiquette she expressed. She warned sharply: "The third floor is full of valuables. It's best not to hang around there, otherwise whatever is lost will be counted on your heads."
superior!"
If you haven't seen the rooms on the third floor, players might still look down upon them, but they are filled with potions and props that everyone would be jealous of. Even Liu Zhengping, who has a bad temper, wouldn't try to do it.
Quick tongue.
Frye's face didn't look good, "Li Chao must have been killed. He went to the third floor last night."
"What's he going to do on the third floor? Didn't I say that I can't go up to the third floor for the time being..." You Qiwen realized before he finished speaking, "He went to steal something?"
"Is he crazy? He didn't complete the dungeon mission, so what did he steal?" Liu Zhengping couldn't believe it. A normal person would only make a profit when he was sure that he was going to leave. Otherwise, he would offend the dungeon boss in vain, and he would not be seeking death.
?
"He seemed pretty confident he wouldn't get caught," Frye sighed.
The others were silent. After a few seconds, You Qiwen said: "It seems that Mr. and Mrs. Ma are also dead. Now we can basically confirm that the murderers in the castle were at least Hu Shan and Mr. Dong."
"Wait a minute." Liu Zhengping interrupted him and looked at Xu Huo, "If you want to join, you have to provide valuable information."
When Frye invited everyone to cooperate with the contract before, Xu Huo refused. Now they should not share the information gained from their adventure.
"Okay," Xu Huo said simply, "I can tell you certain information. There are non-task players in this instance, and the Ma couple are them."
The people present looked at him, and Wei Landeng said: "So you are indeed reminding us on purpose? And the previous dinner?"
"How do you prove that what you say is true?" Frye frowned.
Xu Huo took out four invitations, "The signed invitations were given by the game, and the unsigned ones were taken from a cannibal player by me."
"On the first day I came here, Mr. and Mrs. Ma took the initiative to come to me. They probably saw the smell of corpses on the umbrella I was holding and thought I was the same kind."
"Then did they say who invited them here?" Liu Zhengping asked quickly.
"They don't know either." Xu Huo received the invitation, "This should prove my identity."
"You can say it clearly from the beginning, there's no need to cover it up," You Qiwen said.
"What's the difference between talking or not?" Chen Nan said: "Whether it's a mission player or a non-mission player, aren't there some who are dead?"
"Then I don't understand," Liu Zhengping said: "Shouldn't it be us who are targeted by non-task players when they intervene? Why are they also being killed?"
Frye looked at Xu Huo, "Did you kill Mr. and Mrs. Ma?"
"Of course not." Xu Huo said: "I am also a D-level player. How can I fight one against two? They may be the same as Fang Min."
The Chen brothers glanced at him.
"Is there someone in the castle helping us?" Wei Landeng asked in surprise.
"It may not be to help us." You Qiwen was not so optimistic, "It is more likely to kill people indiscriminately."
"Let me clarify, that is to say, there are people in the castle now deliberately inviting non-task players to stir up the trouble, and there are people who are killing players indiscriminately... Are they the same person?" Frye said.
"It's hard to say." Xu Huo asked, "Have you found any clues about the missing guests?"
"We have searched all the places we can find outside, and we have also looked at the annex at the back." You Qiwen said: "There are no conditions for hiding a body. When I visited the third floor yesterday, I roughly measured the length of the inside and outside of the house. There was nothing inside the wall.
Mezzanine.”
"The rest are a few rooms commonly used by Hope, focusing on the bedroom, lounge and music room."
"But these places are the most dangerous. If you want to go up, you have to lure Ho Pu down."
"How to lead? He's up there all day long." Liu Zhengping said.
"Dinner, he will be down during dinner time." Wei Landen said, "We have half an hour to an hour."
"But during this period, we cannot leave the banquet casually." Chen Tu said: "Even if we leave the banquet, we should not be able to avoid Mr. Dong and Hu Shan."
"I can go." Xu Huo said, "I have been dining in my room for the past two days, so it's not a big problem to go."
"But I was attacked the night before yesterday. Haven't you been in danger these past few nights?"
"No." Wei Landeng looked around, "We are all staying in the room."
"Neither do we." Chen Tu said.
Xu Huo nodded to show that he understood, and then said: "You must find a way to hold off Hu Shan and Mr. Dong during dinner."
You Qiwen and others said there was no problem.
"Are there any non-task players among us?" Frye hesitated.
After Xu Huo gave concrete evidence just now, the players were avoiding this question.
"Actually, it's easy to know who the non-mission players are, just check the invitation." Chen Tu said calmly, "But now the non-mission players are also in the same boat as us, so there is no need to fight among ourselves."
"I agree." You Qiwen's dark face was extremely serious, "Every internal friction will greatly increase the risk of failure, and this copy is obviously more difficult than it should be."
Others would naturally not object. When it was clear that one player was dead and four others were missing, joining a group to keep warm was the only way out.
"Then it's decided."
After the group made simple planning steps, Wei Landeng took out a pair of steamed bun-sized Pinch Le Chicken toys, "This prop can convey a simple message, as long as the toys are held in the hands of different people, one end is pinched, and the other is pinched.
The toy at one end will also deflate automatically. One pinch indicates action, two pinches indicates retreat, and three pinches indicates danger."
