Chapter Twenty-Seven: One More Death
Wei Liang couldn't figure out anything after thinking about it, there were too few clues, and there was no obvious evidence to prove who the murderer was.
Ding Ding lay on the bed and sang softly, this is an unknown little fresh song, the melody is soft, relaxed and elegant. Her tone is great, crisp, clean and comfortable to listen to.
"Good singing."
"Really? Thank you. ”
"It's the first time you've sung."
"Others sing when they're in a good mood, but I'm the opposite, singing when I'm stressed."
"Singing really relieves stress."
"How's your mind going?"
"It's a mess."
"It seems to be harder than playing the game."
"That's true."
Tintin asked, "If we are killed, will we be resurrected?" ”
Wei Liang shook his head: "I'm afraid not, calculate the time, the newcomer's protection period has passed." ”
Tintin's voice lowered, "Oh, that's it. ”
"Don't be afraid, if you want to die, I will die first."
"Don't say these frustrating words, neither of us can die."
"You're right."
"Who should we vote for?"
"Just the girl in the white dress."
"I don't think she's a bad person, at least not as bad as she says. After coming here, the little girl has been honest, and has been squeezed and bullied, which is pitiful. ”
"I don't believe in those appearances. All I know is that she made a lot of money in the last game and counted everyone out, except for us, of course. ”
"But she really doesn't look like that kind of person, I don't believe the rumors, I only believe what I see."
"Is what the eye sees the truth?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you, just vote for her." Tintin's position has never been firm, which is both a disadvantage and an advantage.
The voting results were announced, and sure enough, the girl in the white dress won the top spot and was deducted 500 scarlet coins by Taling. Her heart ached, and the feeling of being deprived of her possessions was like cutting her flesh with a knife.
However, she was not the murderer.
Guessing wrong again, everyone was frustrated, but more than that, there was fear that someone would die again tonight. Maybe everyone won't be too scared on the first night, after all, there are so many people, and the probability of their own death is very small. But on the second night, it was obviously a little uneasy, and some people would think that it was luck to survive the day, but would it be their turn the next day? Even if you are lucky enough not to die, what about the third and fourth nights? With each passing day, the probability of death increases by one point.
Wei Liang is as steady as Mount Tai, the most indifferent of all, while he is thinking about the identity of the murderer, he is still constantly reassuring Ding Ding, that timid and pessimistic girl really needs someone to encourage, otherwise she will definitely collapse in this long tug-of-war.
The more you try to save time, the faster it passes, and the night is coming again.
Before falling asleep, Liu Mang said in a low voice: "I hope the murderer can show some horses and feet this time." ”
Liu Huan said: "I hope so, but the other party is a cautious person, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”
Liu Mang smiled and said, "If I am the murderer, I will be the first to kill you." ”
Liu Huan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?" ”
Liu Mang said: "It can be sold for a good price." ”
Liu Huan was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, his face was a little ugly, he was scolding himself for being a pig.
Liu Mang immediately smiled again and said, "Just kidding, don't take it to heart." ”
When it was time for sleep, everyone fell into a deep sleep. After a while, the black shadow reappeared, and he walked slowly downstairs, this time not eating the apple, but ordered a drink first, drank it in one go, ordered some food, and ate it unhurriedly.
After twenty minutes or so, he burped in satisfaction and rested lazily on the sofa. After another half hour, he felt that it was almost there, so he got up and walked upstairs. As for tonight's prey, he had already thought about it during the day.
Next.
Tintin opened her eyes, and there was still the fear of last night, but the moment she saw the light, there was only the joy of surviving - she survived again. As always, the first thing I did when I got up was to run out and knock on Wei Liang's door. She first knocked three times in a reserved and rhythmic manner, and there was no movement inside. She waited patiently for a long time, but it was only three seconds, but in her opinion, it was long enough, so she knocked on the door again, this time with much more force, and knocked five times, but there was still no movement inside. She was a little panicked, the same was true of the two people who died before, no matter how everyone knocked on the door outside, there was no response, could it be that Wei Liang had an accident?
Just as he was thinking about it, the door opened, Wei Liang squinted, and said, "I am woken up by you every day." ”
Ding Ding didn't speak, the other party's full of life face seemed so cute to her. She had fantasized more than once about the scene of Wei Liang's murder, lying alone on the big bed, pale and lifeless, with a long bloody wound on his neck, which was the mark left by the murderer. The originally hot blood flowed down, wetting the bedding and staining the sheets, and as time went on, the blood turned from hot to cold, to cold and hard. The strange thing is that even when he is dead, he still has a trademark smile on his face.
Fortunately, her pessimistic and gloomy imagination did not come true, and Wei Liang was still alive. Out of nowhere, she got the courage, opened her arms, and gave him a big hug.
If you were an ordinary person, you might be overwhelmed by this sudden move, but Wei Liang's smile only had a hint of stagnation before he returned to nature, patted her on the back, and said, "Don't be afraid." ”
Ding Ding buried his head in his chest, listened to the strong and powerful heartbeat of the other party, and said sincerely: "It's good that you're okay." ”
Wei Liang smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, the earth will rotate like no one." If one day I die, or if we are separated, I hope you will be strong. ”
"Nope." Tintin shook his head and said, "I have lived a good life on the earth, and suddenly I am exiled here, just like a fish leaving the river and grass leaving the land, I really don't know how to survive without you." ”
"I'm honored."
After washing up, the two went downstairs, and Wei Liang asked casually, "Guess who died today?" ”
Tintin found the topic scary and kept silent.
Wei Liang shrugged, ordinary people are secretive about death, but in his opinion, this is a normal natural phenomenon, just like the sunrise and sunset, the clouds are rolling.
The others also walked down one after another. After getting up every day, everyone will come downstairs to sign in, which seems to have become a habit, mainly to prove that they are still alive, and at the same time to guess who the deceased is, because the deceased will not come down by himself and say "I am dead", so everyone needs to use the elimination method to determine the identity.
After a while, all the people arrived, and there were only seven, one less than yesterday.
Ding Ding looked around at everyone, couldn't see the clue for a while, and muttered to himself: "Who is missing?" ”
Wei Liang said lightly: "Liu Mang." ”
