Chapter 6: The Killing Game begins

……

Time passed, and soon it was time for dinner. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ah~! It's also fun to play with everyone once in a while. Mei Yi, who came out of the room, stretched a lot. I didn't expect Toko's predecessors to come up with such an interesting thing. ”

"As an experienced adventurer, it is also necessary common sense to take something that can pass the time to deal with unexpected situations."

"Miss Theresia, do you find it interesting?" Xiaoguang asked.

"I can't laugh as well as you do, but I feel like I understand why Kuro will let me be with you."

"By the way, where is the black?" Mei asked.

At this moment, they walked to the staircase leading to the second floor, and saw Kuro, who was walking down the stairs head-on.

"Black? Where have you been so far!? ”

"No, it's just a matter of walking around." Hei said casually. "What, is it dinner time? I knew that this would have gone straight to the restaurant. ”

"Really, why did you suddenly disappear today?"

Mei grabbed Black's arm a little hard.

"I'm sorry, but there's really nothing else to do."

"Even so, you should have spoken to us first. After coming to this world for so long, can't you change some habits? ”

In this way, led by Mei and Hei, the rest of the hotel except for Jun and Alyssa walked up to the restaurant on the second floor.

"Anyway, where did that over-energetic yellow hair go?" Black asked.

"Xiao Chun's words, he just decided to go out alone, but with such a big snow, he probably won't be able to go far." Xiaoguang said. "But his fate is also his characteristic, and with his character, he will soon retreat from the difficulties."

Walking to the dining room on the second floor, the current caretaker of the castle, Alyssa, was already waiting there.

"Dinner is ready."

Alyssa said with a maid's smile, "Well, I'm going to open the door."

With that, Alyssa opened the door to the restaurant.

Presumably she had a sumptuous meal on the table, but—

"What the hell is going on?"

Surprised, his eyes shrank into a point, and in front of everyone's eyes, it was not a dinner, but an even more miserable scene.

It was Xiao Chun, who was lying on the long table where the dinner plate should have been placed, and a Western sword pierced his heart and stuck on the wooden table.

"Ahh!!h

Alyssa let out a scream, she didn't seem to know why the dinner she had just prepared had suddenly been replaced with this tragic scene.

And Mei Yi, Xiaoguang and Toko also shouted together.

As a woman, it is probably an instinctive reaction to scream when you see this kind of scene.

And Hei stepped forward step by step.

"In such a wonderful world, in such a joyful story, it should have been impossible to encounter such a plot."

Standing beside Xiao Chun, Hei touched his neck, there was no pulse, no breathing, and his body was already cold.

"And yet it happened, he died, and he was killed."

"How so? Xiao Chun, dead ......"

Although he usually dislikes Xiao Chun, after the death of his companion for many years, Xiao Guang seemed to kneel on the ground as if he had lost his strength.

Not only Xiaoguang, but everyone present fell into sadness.

And at this moment, a cyan light appeared above Xiao Chun's corpse.

With this light, the black and white figure of Darkrai appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"Darkrai!"

"Did you kill it?" Fuji and Hikatsu, who had been silent, walked up after seeing Darkrai.

Although he usually looks sleepy, when facing the enemy, he immediately bursts out with an astonishing fighting spirit.

"It's me, it's not me."

Darkrai emitted a voice similar to that of a neutral one, and unlike other elves, Black could feel a powerful magic when he appeared.

"What does that mean?"

Fujiwa Hikaru pressed his sword, as if he would slash Darkrai's answer if he didn't satisfy him.

"Well, the reason why I said it was me was because I arranged all this, but I said it wasn't me, because I really didn't kill the person directly."

"Drink!"

It seems that he got a reason to make himself start, and Fuji and Hikaru cut it down without saying a word.

However,

"Bang!"

The next moment, Fuji and Hikaru were swept away by a black evil wave that Darkrai casually swung out of his hand, and rolled up against the wall, making a loud noise, and everyone else in the room seemed to feel the ground tremble because of this move.

To be sure, this Darkrai is anything but ordinary, and since it dares to appear, it proves that it believes that these people can't help it.

"It's a game that allows you to experience a game of despair."

“Another。”

Darkrai said slowly.

"Today, among the people gathered here, there is a person whose real body is not actually here, maybe he didn't come in the first place, or maybe he came, but he was transferred halfway. Although you are completely unrecognizable of it, it is actually the stand-in of the person who did not exist that caused this case. ”

"This is just the beginning, he will kill you one by one during the time the blizzard lasts, if you don't find and kill that double, I wonder if you will know the meaning of despair tomorrow morning."

"What do you want to do after passing that?" Shirona asked.

"It's none of your business."

As if having said all that had to be said, Darkrai was about to leave.

And Mei Yi noticed one thing.

If all of this was planned by Darkrai, then the stand-in should also need Darkrai's power to maintain, so as long as Darkrai is defeated here-

"Black, you-"

At the same time as calling for Black, Mei Yi noticed that Black had a strange expression.

"I don't know why, I can't use my magic anymore."

"Me too—"

Theresia also had a pained expression.

"This is my realm, no matter where you are sacred outside of this, entering my realm will be under my control."

"If you want to get out alive, find the murderer who pretends to be your companion but is secretly committing the murder, and there is no other way."

With that, Darkrai disappeared from everyone's sight, and after his form was almost completely gone-

"As a final piece of advice, the murderer is not like a human being, and he will not be able to commit a crime if he is physically restrained. Even if the real murderer is found, if he is not killed, the crime will continue. ”

After seeing Darkrai disappear, the people in the room were silent for a long time.

Black picked up the live receiver on his arm, but there was no signal, which meant that the channel to get in touch with the outside world should be blocked.

"What should I do?" Xiaoguang said this with some difficulty.

"If you can't defeat that Darkrai, you can only find the murderer." Fuji and Hikaru said. "According to Darkrai, once the murderer disguised as our companion is found, this realm will be solved."

Fuji and Hikaru looked at the live receiver in his hand, and it was exactly half past five.

He looked at Chun's body on the table again, and at the same time touched the dinner that Alyssa had prepared next to Chun.

"At this temperature—from now on, only Alyssa has a chance to commit a crime."

"Why!?" Alyssa let out a frightened exclamation.

"It's very simple, people die in the kitchen, and the other meals here are still hot, and from my experience of camping in the wild, the last cooked meal should be just over 10 minutes by now. This means that you should have just closed the door of the restaurant and stood at the door waiting for us. And the others walked upstairs together a few minutes ago, so you should be the only one who has time to commit crimes against Xiao Chun. ”

"But I didn't kill it!"

"Hmph, if the murderer admits that his murderer is abnormal, accept the sanction." Fuji and Hikaru made a gesture of drawing their swords.

In a hurry, Alyssa suddenly said: "If this is the case, Mr. Hei also has time to commit crimes, he didn't come with you, the restaurant has a front door, and Mr. Hei should also have time to commit crimes." ”

"What do you say, Hei will not be a murderer! Sure enough, the murderer is you! ”

Theresia drew her sword in a fit of rage, and it was clear that she couldn't tolerate anything bad about her.

The identification of black not only did not help him out of the siege, but made one more person who wanted to kill him, and Alyssa seemed to be in a great predicament.

And at this time-

"Hey, you two, calm down."

Before the others could come to their senses, Kuro stopped Fuji and Hikaru and Theresia first.

"Fuji and Hikaru, have you ever killed someone?"

"No, my swordsmanship wasn't meant to hurt people, so what's wrong?"

"If you haven't killed it, I advise you not to kill it in the future, even if you get used to doing that kind of thing, it doesn't feel good."

It was completely different from the black with the hippie smile before, and when Kuro looked at Fuji and Hikaru, there was a sense of anger in his eyes, which made Fuji and Hikaru take a few steps back.

As a martial artist, he probably knew that although Hei did not rely on a strong body to fight, there were not a few people who died under his hands.

"There are always two sides to everything, and if the person you kill is indeed the murderer, it may be a happy ending for all. But on the other hand, if you kill the wrong person, you will never be here again in the mood you are in now. ”

Speaking of this, there seems to be a hint of tenderness in the dark eyes.

"I don't want this wonderful world to fall into the abyss of infinite slaughter like Tayromir."

"However, if the murderer is not found, new people will die." Fuji and Hikaru retorted.

"Well, that's right, but even if you really want to find the murderer, you have to be absolutely sure."

I saw Hei walk to Xiao Chun's side again.

"Although it was pierced through the chest, the amount of bleeding was not enough at all."

Hei turned his head and smiled at everyone: "If you try to kill someone, you will know that if you stab a living person's heart, the blood will definitely spurt out, because it is an artery, but after a person dies, the blood will not remain, so even if you stab his heart, it will not be good." ”

"This analogy is disgusting." Mei Yi looked afraid to look at it, and turned her head away.

And Black was still staring at the corpse seriously.

"The cause of death should be a blow to the head," said Hei, touching the sweater that Xiao Chun was wearing.

"There's still some moisture on it that hasn't dried up, do you know what he was going to do when I last saw Xiao Chun?"

"I remember that I was really looking for Darkrai, so I planned to go out, but it seems that he didn't go out." Xiaoguang said.

"I see, then this water should be left behind after the snow on his body melts, and if it is a living person, it will also evaporate quickly, but it is different for a dead person. Therefore, the scene of the crime is likely to be on the first floor not far from the door, and the time of the crime is likely to be three hours from now. ”

"I see," Sirona said. "Does that mean that the murderer hid Chun's body somewhere during this time, and then moved Chun's body to the dining room in just a few minutes after Alyssa prepared dinner and walked out of the room?"

"That can be explained, but Elisa, you probably didn't leave the room after you walked out of the room."

"Huh? That's true, but how do you know? ”

"You don't have to worry about that."

In fact, in order to concentrate on searching the passage of the secret room on it, and not let Alyssa find out, he used magic to locate Alyssa's location, of course, this cannot be said.

However, with the advent of Darkrai, magic has become unusable.

"Anyway, unless Alyssa has a hearing problem, no one will be able to carry the body through another locked door and successfully sneak in."

"From this point of view, it is really only me who can do it with magic, or maybe it is all directed and acted by Alyssa."

"However, this building is so old that the fire system can only be on the first floor, so the kitchen is also on the first floor, and if I do what Mr. Fuji and Hikaru said, I will not only have to move the food to the second floor within 5 to 6 minutes before Darkrai appears, but I will also have to carry a corpse at the same time."

"If it's just a meal for a few people, you can use a special car to carry it up at a time, but if it's a corpse, you have to go back and forth twice, so there is not enough time." Alyssa defended herself.

"However, it is possible that you have pre-placed the body on the second floor and hid it." Theresia said.

"No, that can't be." Black denied.

"Why!?"

"Cooking on the first floor and putting the body on the second floor is too big. Even if Alyssa could find a room to hide the body, she wouldn't have predicted when we would show up on the second floor. ”

"Alyssa can't grasp who of us got to the second floor first, and even if she can grasp the actions of others, she can't grasp my actions. If I had come to the restaurant early, she wouldn't have been able to move the body in front of us. ”

"Since Darkrai allowed this murderer to show up in order to drive us into despair, killing people and not letting us know is definitely not what it wants." (To be continued.) )
