Chapter 11: Temptation
For the current Dong Xie, if you want to list a list of key suspects, then for him, Chen Siyu is the most suspected, followed by Yuan Ping.
Relative to the householders, even if the evil spirits know the rules of identification, they are well aware that the residents do not dare to identify them easily. Therefore, evil spirits are not as low-key as residents in their actions. On the contrary, high-profile also has the benefit of being high-profile, like now, Chen Siyu has vaguely become the temporary leader of the seven-person team, and others are more convinced of him. In this way, he will also be able to understand the identity intelligence information of other people more naturally.
The second is Yuanping. Yuan Ping is the least fearful of the seven people. This, in itself, is actually very unnatural. However, it is not completely incomprehensible, after all, there are six people around him, and he does not know the existence of evil spirits, in this case, the fear is greatly shared. The so-called "criminal organization" has never appeared, and there is no danger on the island at present. Therefore, it is not impossible to understand that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. But in the same way as Chen Siyu, his personality is easy to create a character image of a "brainless second teenager", so even if he asks the identity information of the people around him, the sense of disobedience will be greatly reduced.
Relatively speaking, even if Dong Xie had such suspicions, there was no way to be sure. There is only one chance to designate it, and if it is missed, he will die, which is his only hope of survival.
At this time, it was close to noon.
Everyone's stomachs started gurgling.
"Why don't you eat something? I can't take it anymore. ”
The fat man Gu Cheng was the first to say this, and he also knew from his body type that he must be a foodie.
"Chen Siyu, yes," Li Han also said, "You said before that you wanted to search the village for anything to eat first, but now you have found nothing. Let's eat those cans first. It's easy for our kidnappers to kill us, and there's no need to be poisoned. ”
"Okay." After Chen Siyu said this, Dong Xie faintly felt ...... The people here really began to regard Chen Siyu as the leader, and they naturally began to take his words seriously.
If Chen Siyu is really an evil spirit, then in the next time, this point may develop in a direction that is not good for him. And this point is also what worries Dong Xie the most.
Everyone found a clean place and sat down. Chen Siyu took the cannerer he found in the pantry and opened the cans. There are also some canned fruits and soups, otherwise you won't be able to drink water, and you won't be able to last long.
"It's delicious." Yuan Ping opened a can of tuna at this time, ate the fish inside, and couldn't help but admire.
Dong Xie was not surprised by this, a large amount of food could be taken out of the apartment at will, all of which were of the highest quality.
He also opened the can in his hand at this time, and while eating, he was also paying attention to the people around him. And everyone, basically, is eating extremely ugly, obviously hungry and panicked.
A real evil spirit will certainly not have a feeling of hunger. From this point of view, the acting skills of this evil spirit are still quite powerful. At least, he couldn't see the slightest flaw.
"We'll try to catch fish in the afternoon." Chen Siyu looked in the direction of the coast and said, "If you have a choice, it's best not to eat these canned foods." I finally felt uneasy in my heart. ”
"Catching fish? How do you catch it? Yuan Ping asked, "There are no fishing rods and nets ...... either."
"When the tide is high, you may bring some fish to the shore," Chen said, "and you can make your own fishing rod and find a way to dig up some earthworms and other insects......
"It's troublesome." Yuan Ping took another bite of the canned food and said, "Just eat the canned food directly." ”
Dong Xie hurriedly echoed Chen Siyu's statement: "I feel that Chen Siyu is right. No one knows if there will be a problem with these cans. At the very least, the fish in the sea will be a little safer. Chen Siyu, do you know how to fish? ”
The reason why Dong Xie said this also has his purpose. Only the evil spirits and the occupants know that these cans are absolutely not poisonous, not even 0.01%. Therefore, if he expresses his concern about canned food, it may make the evil spirit feel a little less suspicious.
"No, it won't." Chen Siyu said: "However, this is a fishing village, and if we look for it, we may be able to find fishing nets and fishing rods." ”
"Zhao Qishan, let me ask...... What do you think will be the problem? Lan Yu asked stunned.
Dong Xie looked at Lan Yu's bandaged wound and began to think, waiting for time to check her wound. Evil spirits can camouflage wounds, but if the wounds heal quickly, there is a problem.
"I don't know, but it's always good to be careful."
Yuan Ping thought for a while and said, "I really can't think of this." You should be too careful. ”
"Are we going to dig earthworms?" Gu Cheng showed a bitter look: "Is it really necessary to be so troublesome?" ”
Dong Xie took the can in his hand and said, "Even if it is not poisoned, we don't know what the quality of this food is." After all, it's something that eats into your mouth, and no matter how cautious you are, you can't be too cautious. ”
"Zhao Qishan, you are quite cautious." Li Han was sitting next to Dong Xie at this time, and said, "You're right, you have to be careful when you eat what you eat, I support you." ”
Then, Dong Xie glanced at the people around him and began to think, looking for an opportunity to ask for their identity and intelligence information.
Judging by the current situation...... The most suitable person to chat with is obviously Yuan Ping, who is quite familiar.
"Yuanping," he then said to Yuanping, "you eat leisurely and choke carefully." ”
"Oh, okay." Yuan Ping directly raised his hand and wiped his mouth, and said, "I seem to be eating ugly." ”
Then, he said to Dong Xie again: "Zhao Qishan, I feel that you are really timid, and you are so tall because you are so tall." ”
From this point of view, timidity seems to have become a recognized image in everyone's hearts. However, it may be better that this persona will seem a little further away from the apartment residents.
"I dare...... Is it small? Of course, Dong Xie still showed that he was very unhappy with Yuan Ping's words, "On the contrary, I think you seem to be too bold." Aren't you afraid? ”
"Okay...... I'm afraid it won't solve the problem. Yuan Ping said this, and ate another bite of tuna.
Dong Xie felt that the heat was almost over.
"Is it because you joined some suspenseful club in college?"
Dong Xie clearly remembered what everyone said about their past identity information, and he was now going to interrogate them further. Regardless of whether the evil spirit was an islander of this island during his lifetime, it is impossible for him to have been a college student. If Genpei is an evil spirit, his past experiences are naturally all false. False content will always produce flaws.
"Well, quite the opposite." Yuan Ping seemed to be quite interested in this topic, and immediately opened the conversation: "It's because I'm bold that I dare to read this kind of book." This club was also formed by me. ”
This can't help but remind Dong Xie of the fact that he formed a club when he was in college, if Yuan Ping was not an evil spirit, then the two of them would have a common topic.
"And what books do you all read?" Dong Xie has read a lot of suspense thrillers, even some books by very unpopular authors. If the evil spirit lies, it is possible to verify it.
"A lot, if you are abroad, there are Stephen King, Hitchcock, and if you are domestic, there are Cai Jun's, Ning Hangyi's ......"
Dong Xie then immediately said: "Have you read Ning Hangyi's book "The Game That Must Be Fouled"? ”
This is the suspense that Dong Xie read a few years ago, and it is still on the bookshelf at home. The book is very well shaped in a suspenseful atmosphere, so he read it many times in order to learn how to write it.
"Of course I did. Alas...... Speaking of which, the beginning of this book is quite similar to our experience. ”
"Like?" Lan Yu on the side hurriedly asked, "What does the book say?" ”
"There are exactly twice as many characters as us, and it's about fourteen mysteries who appear in a locked house, are kidnapped here, and asked to write a suspense each. And one of the fourteen is the mastermind of everything......"
At this, he suddenly stopped.
Chen Siyu also put down the can in his hand, and he seemed to understand what Yuan Ping had in mind.
"You mean, one of the seven of us is the mastermind of the kidnappers?"
