Chapter Twenty-Three: I'm here to talk about conditions
Zhuang Xie returned home, turned on the light, took off his shoes, and carefully aligned his leather shoes in the corner of the entrance.
I opened the shoe cabinet and reached out to take out a pair of slippers to change into.
He froze for some reason, his eyes stayed on a pair of pink slippers decorated with two cute rabbit heads, one of which had broken ears, making people wonder if the owner of the slippers was not walking on the instep of his feet.
"Rubbish! Your slippers are too big! I'm going to fall if I'm not careful! Buy me a pair! ”
"No, I refuse. Did I beg you to come? ”
Suddenly, it seemed that a familiar annoying voice came to mind again.
A year ago, when Zhuang Xie first moved into this house, this was a casual request from Cheng Najing at that time, and Zhuang Xie naturally refused.
Then it didn't take long for a pair of pink rabbit-headed slippers to be added to the shoe cabinet......
Zhuang Xie retracted his gaze and took a pair of his own black slippers to change into.
Back at the computer desk.
Speaking of Zhuang Xie's bed, it is also pitiful, before, Zhuang Xie seemed to prefer to sleep on the sofa, and since Cheng Najing's accident for more than half a month, Zhuang Xie has basically spent every night in front of the computer chair.
This bed can be said to be bought for nothing.
Turning on the computer in standby state, Zhuang Xie really began to review the updated chat group at this time.
In addition to the addition of the points system, and the change in selecting the "group leader" from the battle for the points system, the other changes are not big, and it has been updated for a whole night, as if it has been updated to be lonely, unlike a certain point of suspense authors, although it is less, but at least it is not watery.
Open the game page, and there is a refresh button.
Zhuang Xie stared at the refresh button, and he knew that when he pressed that button, the second game would begin.
But......
He touched the back of his neck that was hidden by the collar, there was a raised touch, and a scar had not yet fully healed.
It was the souvenir he left behind when he revisited the street where Cheng Najing died.
He looked at his shadow, which was still too obvious even indoors.
The existence in the shadow seemed to notice Zhuang Xie's gaze, and shouted a little flatteringly, "Gollum~".
He had no doubt that at that moment, if he had only slower his steps a little, the red tongue full of barbs would make intimate and powerful contact with his skull and the fragile vertebrae.
In fact, he has always been very strange, in the chat group, it seems that he is the only one who has experienced the scene of near-death.
Although he himself also concealed all this from the other group members, Xingmang Wu Yuhe and Clay Sculpture Hu Yan, two people who were obviously quite deep in the city, even if they were concerned, according to Huang Mao and Hammer's babbling chat habits, they were also tight-lipped about this?
Zhuang Xie felt that it was unlikely.
But in any case, Zhuang Xie didn't want to take unnecessary risks at this critical juncture, so his gaze only lingered on the refresh button for a moment, and then closed the game lobby.
The chat group was quiet at this time, and it didn't have the hot appearance of a few days ago.
Yes, on the surface, there were two bomb-level news in just two days.
The first one is the bomb dropped by Zhuang Xie himself, and the timelines of the group members are different.
The second is that this group relies on points to select the group leader.
The update details don't elaborate on the permissions of the group leader, but there is no doubt that the name of the group owner alone can imagine the power of the group to suppress other group members.
Not to mention anything else, if the "group owner" is like an ordinary chat group, with the permission to remove group members from the group chat, it is enough to make everyone have something to worry about.
Secretly, it's even more complicated.
According to the information provided by Xingmang Wu Yuhe, at the time of last night's chat group update, Hammer Zhang Guangbei had been attacked and killed by the killer of the group member.
Zhuang Xie asked why Xingmang didn't remind Zhang Guangbei before.
Unexpectedly, the other party said that before the software update, Zhang Guangbei had not died in the timeline of Xingmang, and in just one night when everyone in the chat group lost contact, everything changed.
In other words, after the people in the chat group enter the group in their different timelines, they are already unpredictable variables, and any action of everyone at the front of the timeline will directly affect the future.
So now, everyone is in a strange state of confrontation.
Those at the end of the timeline have the advantage of being agnostic to the members at the front end, while those at the front end of the timeline have the ability to directly influence the future.
If everyone works together and is harmonious and friendly, then things will naturally develop for the better.
But if everyone has a bad heart, then the confrontation is officially established.
Unfortunately, as things stand, the latter is far more likely than the former.
As the first person to reveal his true identity, the danger of Xingmang is naturally self-evident.
So this is the reason why he came to cooperate with Zhuang Xie, the "deceased" who is the least suspicious in his opinion.
This reason really convinced Zhuang Xie.
So......
Zhuang Xie didn't hesitate at all, and directly skipped the avatar of the star and clicked on the avatar of the hammer.
There are already many messages sent by Zhuang Xie today.
Not a reply.
In fact, combined with the intelligence of Zhang Guangbei, Zhang Jiaming, Zhang Yuge and others, coupled with the fact that Zhang Guangbei's death was personally confirmed at the police station during the day today, Zhuang Xie's fact that "hammer = Zhang Guangbei" has been basically determined.
Sending another message to try is just one last confirmation.
After making a decision, Zhuang Xie didn't hesitate too much, closed the chat box with Hammer, and clicked on another avatar.
Cog: "Clay sculpture, let's talk." ”
After combing through all the information he had searched, combined with the information provided by Xingmang Wu Yuhe, Zhuang Xie had to admit that the suspicion of the clay sculpture was the greatest.
But so what.
At this stage, only the timeline of the hammer and clay sculpture is before June 22.
According to calculations, the time of the hammer and clay sculpture at this time should be June 21, only one day before Cheng Najing's death.
He spent all his efforts to collect intelligence, analyze everything at hand, and intrigue with the future Oh Woo-hyuk to test each other and obtain information, not to catch the murderer.
Zhuang Xie is only to collect chips and trade chips with people whose timeline is before June 22.
Even if that person may be a vicious murderer, even if that person is really as Xingmang Wu Yuhe said, in the near future, he will be the murderer who killed himself.
He didn't care, as long as that person was before June 22nd.
That's enough.
Zhuang Xie stared at the screen, and the other party did not respond.
He ran his fingers to the keyboard and slowly typed a line.
Cog: "Clay sculpture, or Miss Hu Yan." I'm here to talk about conditions. ”
Long.
There was finally a response from the other side of the screen.
Clay sculpture: "Say"
Zhuang Xie looked at the screen and laughed silently.
