In the city of Beria, the priests' guild. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
There were no very good hospitals in the medieval magical plane, so the priests' guild, with a large number of priests, served as a hospital to a certain extent, and almost all the wounded in the attack and defense of Belia were concentrated here.
But while the phrase "all the wounded" may sound like a large number of wounded - not many were actually wounded in that battle......
Many more have died directly at the hands of demons.
Most of the remaining wounded were not seriously injured, and they left after a few days in the priests' guild.
And the one who is still in the priests' guild...... Most of them are adventurers, adventurers who have been kidnapped before.
And these adventurers are in a state of unconsciousness at the moment.
They were unharmed, and the priests examined the adventurers' bodies to make sure they were well, but they were strangely in a prolonged coma.
It's not that they didn't wake up at all, most of them had been awake for a while when they were first rescued from the Dragon Slayer building.
But when they came, they fell asleep one after another, and could not be awakened by any means.
So they stayed in the Priests' Guild and were under the care of the priests.
Nanshui was also in the priests' guild, but she had already woken up.
She was attacked by a demon as the demons poured into Belial, and she fell unconscious, apparently after a battle with the demons, and was sent to the priest's guild after the battle.
After being baptized in light for several days, she finally awoke on the sixth day after being sent to the priests' guild.
But after waking up, Nan Shui's body was still very weak, and there were always some inexplicable headaches every day, and the priests decided that her injuries had not healed, so they did not allow her to leave without permission.
The delicate half-elf girl was also left behind in the guild.
But life in the priests' guild was boring, the priests were busy checking the adventurers every day, and there was only one unconscious adventurer in the same wardβnot even a single person to speak.
There were no plants or animals inside or outside the room, only people walking by and statues of gods standing in the cold aisles.
Even the colors here are drab to the extreme.
The room is all white, and when you look out of the window of the room, it's almost all black...... Occasionally, a little dusk and gray may be seen.
The half-elf girl who loves nature feels that living here is really like a lack of oxygen, and the boring feeling makes her a little suffocated.
She felt even more dizzy when she lived in such an environment, and as soon as she lay down, she felt that the whole world was spinning.
The most Nan Shui did every day was to stare blankly at the adventurer on the hospital bed next to him, and at the male adventurer's faceβnot that he thought his face was good-looking, but that it was the most vibrant thing in this room.
That face was very ordinary, but Nan Shui didn't feel annoyed no matter how he looked at it.
Sometimes, after watching for a long time, she would even take advantage of the fact that no one was around, pluck up the courage to get out of bed gently, and then quietly touch the adventurer's cheek.
Nansui's smooth fingertips gently touched the adventurer's faceβhis cheeks were rough, but the warm feeling in the roughness was unusually reassuring.
As if only in this way could she feel proof of her existence in this world.
This feeling made Nanshui feel very comfortable, but it also made Nanshui feel a little shy.
When touching the man's face, Nan Shui felt as if his face was on fire, and his heartbeat could even be heard clearly.
But she still refused to withdraw her hand, she looked at the man with a red face, and thought silently in her heart-
When he woke up...... Just ask his name.
It's just that the man remained unconscious and did not respond to her appeal.
So when she saw the man suddenly start struggling today, Nan Shui even looked at the man with hope at first.
She felt that the adventurer was about to wake up, and that she would be able to talk to him in no time.
His brow furrowed deeply, the eyelashes on his eyes were constantly trembling, his hands clutched the white sheets, and the green tendons like earthworms appeared hideously on his arms, as if he was having some nightmare.
His eyelids fluttered and tried to open, but it seemed to be in a very serious obstacle, and the process of opening his eyes began to become extremely difficult, and it was a long time before those eyes barely opened a slit.
The man seemed to be in extreme pain, and seemed to see Nanshui through the crack, and the hand that had been holding on to the sheet suddenly stretched out in the direction of Nanshui.
Nan subconsciously wanted to hold that hand.
But when she did stretch out her hand towards the other party, she only touched a piece of air.
The adventurer is gone.
Completely gone.
All that was left of the hospital bed was the white sheets and quilt, and if it weren't for the wrinkles that still existed on this whiteness, it was as if the adventurer had never existed here.
Nanshui was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the situation was.
A tear suddenly welled up in her eyes, and then rolled down her cheek to the ground.
She looked at the small puddle of water stains with some inexplicability, and reached out to touch her eye sockets, trying to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
found that the tears were gathering more and more, and they all poured into Nanshui's hands, and flowed back to her cheeks along her hands, and she couldn't wipe them clean.
Myself...... Why tears?
Nan Shui asked silently in his heart.
- "Because you've just witnessed the passing of a life." β
A voice rang in her ears out of nowhere.
Nan Shui was stunned, and then big tears welled up from her eyes.
She cried bitterly.
β¦β¦
Although the killer who was hiding in the team had been dealt with, when Lei Ruoya returned to the team, he still got the news that three more people had been killed.
Two of the three were adventurers, while the other was a soldier, Sade.
Lei Ruoya silently looked at their bodies that were cut in two, and looked at the eyes of these three people who were still wide after they died, but found that the first reaction in her heart was that all three of them died from the cutting of sharp weapons, and the adventurer who was killed by her brother was also the guy who used his fist as an attack - the second killer should really be dead.
But the next moment she was stunned.
She felt as if she really regarded the dead as the "villagers" in the killing game, and death was just a state for them, as if they could be brought back to life and even laugh with herself in the next moment......
But these are obviously fresh lives.
I've always considered myself a high-end player, and I've always felt that this is just a "hard" game.
It's just a game, after all......
But what if you die in this game?
These adventurers, these dead adventurers......
Is it really dead?
"Brother," she called to her brother sneeringly, "you say these adventurers...... Is it really dead? β
Lei Yang obviously didn't understand the deep meaning of Lei Ruoya's words, and after hearing the words, he subconsciously replied: "Of course these people are dead...... Even the corpse was split in two, and he died no more. β
Lei Ruoya was silent for a while, not knowing what she was thinking.
"But since the killer hiding in the team has been killed, the killer on the surface is not to be afraid, just wait for the people outside to find a way to open the passage." Lei Ruoya spoke in a low voice, but as she spoke, she seemed to remember something, and then frowned, "It's just that I always feel a little strange about this...... But I can't tell where it's weird. β
"What's wrong?" Lei Yang understood what his sister meant this time.
"I always feel ...... It seems like something went too well. Lei Ruoya said to her brother, "I just deduced that there might be a killer hiding in the team, and that killer jumped out of his own way, and we killed him so easily. It's ...... It's like someone deliberately arranged it. β
Lei Yang heard Lei Ruoya say this, and seemed to think of something: "It seems that something is wrong...... When I looked at the bodies of the dead who had been hit hard, I felt that the killer's strength seemed to be enormous, and he could shatter the bones of a person's head or body with a single blow. But the adventurer we killed earlier, he can't even break through your first layer of Holy Light Shield. β
ββ¦β¦ Could it be that we killed the wrong one!? That guy is actually just a melon eater!? Lei Ruoya was startled, but she felt that something was wrong, "But why did another killer protect him!?" Why did that guy jump out and shoot at us!? β
Lei Yang thought about it, but felt that there were a lot of doubts in it, and he didn't know what the situation was.
Lei Ruoya suddenly became a little irritable and began to walk back and forth in the dark room.
But the more she walked, the more she felt that something was strange about it: "No...... It's really not right, the other killer didn't directly protect the adventurer from the beginning to the end, he was just fighting us, giving us the illusion that he seemed to be 'protecting' the adventurer, and he slipped away after we killed the adventurer...... It's not like an attitude towards a companion at all. β
"That guy might be misleading us at all! Let's mistake him for protecting the adventurer! And the reason why that adventurer wants to attack us......" Lei Ruoya felt that she had found the crux of the problem, and began to say in a serious tone, "In that case, he subconsciously attacked us, maybe to kill us, but it was also possible...... Just in self-defense! β
"He may be being hunted down, and then when he hears the movement outside, he subconsciously thinks that the person who is chasing him is coming!
No wonder he had a look of surprise on his face until he died, and we thought he was amazed at the hardness of my shield of light...... But now, it seemed that he was simply surprised why it was me who was outside the door!
The adventurer...... There's a real good chance it's not a killer! β
Lei Yang scratched his head when he heard this, and he didn't quite understand what Lei Ruoya said: "But...... The adventurer was pointed out by Andrew, who was seriously injured himself, and Andrew had no reason to lie to us. β
Lei Ruoya was stunned when she heard this.
Lei Yang's words point to the most crucial point - the reason why they thought the adventurer was the killer in the earliest days was because of Andrew's testimony.
If the adventurer wasn't actually a killer, it meant that Andrew was lying, and in fact it wasn't what he described it to be.
But Andrew couldn't have lied......
Just like having two killers and one of them lurking in the team, Andrew, as a soldier among the aborigines, can't be on the same path as the killer...... There is no doubt about it.
In the end, the killer can indeed only be among the current adventurers, and the identity of the soldier is the most unbreakable "golden water" in this game. (Note: The golden water in the killing game represents the villagers who are testified by the soothsayer, who can verify the identity of a person every night.) οΌ
As a soldier, he can only stand on his side.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Only......
Lei Ruoya suddenly frowned when she thought of this, feeling that the word was somewhat familiar.
She quickly remembered that she had been exploring Room Twenty-Seven alone, and when she was confronted with the headless corpse, she thought that "this extra corpse could indeed only be the unknown adventurer".
Only......
Killers can only be ...... in adventurers
You can only stand on your own side......
Only possible......
Indeed, it could only be the unknown adventurer......
Soldier's identity......
The most irreversible identity ......
Lei Ruoya subconsciously looked at the three corpses on the ground, and stared at the open eyes of the three of them without hesitation.
In this instant......
The guess that Lei Ruoya had thought about before suddenly resurfaced in her mind!
But last time, she felt that she was missing some key clues, but this time she jumped up all of a sudden and patted the thigh of her brother next to her:
"I thought of it!"
The tone of her sister's voice was so excited that her brother almost forgot the pain in his thigh: "Ruoya, what did you think of!?" β
Hearing this, Lei Ruoya looked at him and said extremely seriously: "I know who the real killer is!" β
After saying this, she took her brother's hand and ran out of the dark room as fast as she could.
Outside the room was the team of adventurers, and the atmosphere in the team was a little solemn, so even if they saw the Lei family brothers and sisters running out excitedly, they didn't have any reaction.
Lei Ruoya rushed into the team, looked over, but found that he didn't find the target he was looking for, and hurriedly grabbed an adventurer on the side and asked, "Where did Andrew go?" β
The adventurer was a little puzzled by the question, and pointed his hand into the passage: "Andrew...... He had just taken two female adventurers inside, as if they were going to the bathroom......"
Before the adventurer's words were finished, Lei Ruoya and Lei Yang, who were originally in front of him, had disappeared.
β¦β¦
Andrew stood outside a room about ten meters away from the group, his face still unusually pale.
The hideous wound on his chest was now simply bandaged with gauze, and the white gauze was stained with reddish-brown blood.
He staggered back and forth outside the door, looking badly wounded.
Heavy footsteps echoed through the passages.
He seemed to have waited a long time, and after walking back and forth several times, he finally walked impatiently to the wooden door, as if trying to push it open.
The wooden door had even creaked, like an old man in his last years moaning.
The darkness in the room was faintly revealed.
But at this moment, a crisp voice stopped the old man's moan: "Andrew, what are you doing?" β
Andrew was stunned for a moment, then turned around and found that Lei Ruoya and Lei Yang had come to his side at some point.
He respectfully saluted the two of them, and replied earnestly: "The subordinate took two female adventurers out to go to the toilet, and the two of them have been in for a while, but they have not come out...... So the subordinates are a little worried. β
Lei Ruoya raised her eyelids: "Can you pull out the knife when you see the two girls going to the toilet?" β
Andrew glanced at the saber he held in his hand, and replied without changing his face: "The rest of the killer is elusive, even Sade died in his hands before, and his subordinates dare not be careless, so they naturally have to deal with it carefully." β
"It's not bad for you to be so cautious......" Lei Ruoya reached out and leaned her chin against her, as if thinking about something.
"Speaking of which...... When you saw the body of the first deceased, were his eyes open or closed? β
Andrew was stunned by this unrelated question, but he thought about it and quickly replied, "Yes." β
"Oh, that's right...... When I heard Sade say it before, I thought he was mistaken, and I thought that he had his eyes closed when I saw this corpse...... Could it be that the corpse itself will close its eyes? Lei Ruoya smiled at this.
"Your Excellency," Andrew laughed, "how can a dead man close his eyes?" β
Lei Ruoya and Andrew looked at each other and smiled, but Lei Yang on the side didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in his sister's gourd.
But smiling and smiling, Lei Ruoya suddenly changed her words:
"So...... Why are his eyes closed again? β
Andrew's smile seemed to freeze on his face all of a sudden.
After a long time, he said slowly: "I closed it for him." β
Lei Ruoya's smile widened.
And while laughing......
She turned around and pulled out the saber from her brother's waist, and slashed at Andrew in front of her!
Andrew's face changed in an instant!
Fortunately, Lei Ruoya's knife was not fast, and he turned sideways to dodge this knife by hanging and hanging!
The long knife almost slashed down his cheek!
"What are you doing, sir!? Am I wrong!? β
Lei Ruoya didn't say anything, but still slashed at him fiercely!
This knife brought the power of holy light in her body, and the white light quickly covered the entire long knife!
And the angle of this knife is extremely tricky...... Almost all the routes Andrew dodged were blocked!
And the soldier's right shoulder was already seriously injured, and it stands to reason that he would not be able to take Lei Ruoya's knife.
The soldier's face suddenly turned cold.
The next moment......
I saw that a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out of his body!
The golden light condensed into a violently burning aura on his body, and enveloped his entire body!
The sharp long knife touched the golden aura, but it seemed to encounter some hard obstacle...... No more moving forward!
And the golden arrogance has eroded the white long knife......
Then the "boom" shook Lei Ruoya upside down!
On the side, Lei Yang's complexion changed greatly, and he quickly jumped up and caught his sister's delicate body in the air, and then landed on the ground and retreated a few steps before he finally stabilized his figure!
Lei Ruoya spit out a mouthful of blood in Lei Yang's arms at once!
"Andrew", who was wrapped in golden flames, had a very ugly face at the moment, and he looked coldly at the two brothers and sisters in front of him and said, "How did you find out?" β
His voice was still as ordinary as that......
But the tone of voice when he spoke was inevitably stained with murderous intent!
"How did I find out?" Lei Ruoya wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth and sneered, "Hehe, the reason why I was able to find you was really because you couldn't hold back and jumped out." Actually, until the last moment, I wasn't sure if you were really the killer lurking in the team...... Because I didn't know how the eyes of the first deceased were closed, I pretended to be confident and slashed casually, but I didn't expect to really trick you. β
"So, you guys, although you guys have a means that I don't know, you still don't change the essence of wastewood. But there's one thing that's really commendable," Lei Ruoya said sarcastically, looking at Andrew, "Well done with the knife, werewolf." (Note: In Killing Game, werewolves choose to kill their companions at night for confusion or for more complicated reasons.) This behavior is called "self-stabbing". (To be continued.) )
