"It's really scary to think about it now...... Yuan Sui patted his face and muttered in a low voice.

After a long silence in Yuan Sui's long narrative, Ling Shucheng finally nodded. It's not surprising to be scared when you encounter this kind of thing. Compared with what he saw that day, except for some details that vaguely felt strange, he basically believed Yuan Sui's statement ten out of ten.

In fact, the word "believe" is far from enough to describe his state of mind at the moment. For a moment, Ling Shucheng even wanted to apologize for his previous harsh comments about these students. Although the performance in many details was a little naïve, the vividness and realism of this group of students who were not too big touched him faintly in his heart.

"You're doing well enough." Maybe he should express his encouragement more warmly, but unfortunately Ling Shucheng is not very good at it. He could only look into Yuan Sui's eyes and clearly say this sentence that should be counted as praise.

"Maybe......" Yuan Sui staggered his gaze, "but what I was afraid of just now may not be what you think." ”

"Huh?"

"I was thinking, it's good for you...... If you don't hit my trick, otherwise what will happen now, I don't dare to think about it......" Yuan Sui's voice became lower and lower, revealing a sense of caution.

That's right. Ling Shucheng said in his heart.

"Anyway, thank you very much," Yuan Sui brushed a few strands of hair unnaturally, "Originally, I just wanted to praise you for being able to dodge it, but after thinking about it, I felt that something was wrong...... It looks like I'm still proud......"

"It's okay." Ling Shucheng shook his head, and couldn't help but smile lightly and sighed.

"I have to admit one more thing to you......" Yuan Sui shrunk his neck, "When I was questioned in the quiet room, I was very cowardly to shirk a little bit of responsibility on you. You weren't wearing a uniform at the time. ”

"That's fine." Ling Shucheng pressed his brows, and his tone was sincere, "The rain is too heavy, and the coat is very heavy." ”

Yuan Sui stared at him with a strange expression for a while, his eyes were shining, and he spoke firmly after a while: "It seems that I have been locked up by poor people for so long, not because you whispered something." ”

Ling Shucheng really had no such interest. However, he still coughed, and said, "Hurry up, let's check the surroundings again." ”

"So direct?" Yuan Sui rolled up his sleeves, tilted his head and thought about it again, and hesitated, "Why don't you be cautious." If I was in the other person's position, I would have thought that someone would come to review it later. I can't say it without a few thunders. ”

"I'm afraid there is no time to hesitate, and prudence itself is a risky thing."

If these words are meaningful, Yuan Sui was stunned.

"If you make the wrong choice, just blame your bad luck." Ling Shucheng walked towards the ruins of the small building, and said a rare long and difficult sentence, "Never think that you can reduce the risk by putting more effort into it, let alone thinking about whether the choice in the past is correct, this is just pointless torture yourself." ”

"You can see it very clearly......" Yuan Sui hung his head and followed him, a little snorting.

"I'm afraid that on the contrary, few people think I understand it." Ling Shucheng stood still in front of the gate, as always, expressionless.

-

After pushing the door in, the chaotic scene that seemed to have been looted did not appear. The lobby on the first floor is very clean and tidy, and it looks like it is not only undisturbed by fire, but can even be strong enough to welcome new guests. It seems that the group of unidentified people retreated in a fairly orderly manner, and did not even knock down a single vase.

Yes, the room is actually quite decently furnished. On the small cabinet at the entrance are porcelain vases, which are high and low, and there are also pastel-colored fake flowers in twos and threes. The wrought iron skeleton of the floor lamp is obviously homemade, and the curvature of the bends is not perfect in some places, but there is a clumsy cuteness. On the walls are all kinds of uneven paintings, some of which barely fit into a book that doesn't sell well, and some of which may give a strong sense of wasting paint and frames.

"You say, did these things already exist, or did these people bring them here?" Yuan Sui asked the question in Ling Shucheng's heart.

Ling Shucheng thought about it, changed his thinking angle, and also asked a question: "How old do you think this house is?" ”

"I don't know about that, but it doesn't look old on the inside." Yuan Sui scratched his head, "But will the recently repaired house still be made of wood and bricks?" It's too old. ”

"Not to mention other better materials, I don't think it's realistic to transport reinforced concrete here." Ling Shucheng rubbed against the wall for a while, "Now that you look closely, the exterior wall looks like it is old. ”

“…… If these things were brought by the same people I saw, I think it would give you goosebumps. ”

Ling Shucheng glanced back at her thoughtfully and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"It looks too human, doesn't it?" Yuan Sui blinked quickly, "And it seems that this group of people all regard this place as their home, and they are quite idle." ”

"They've probably lived here longer than we thought, and the aborigines who were on the island before couldn't have been completely unaware." Ling Shucheng frowned.

"If this place is really set up by this group of people, then there is probably a person in this group who has a very good aesthetically. At least I think the combination of East and West in this house is quite beautiful. Yuan Sui took a vase in his hand and shook it, "Can we go back with some things, I think it's quite - there is research value." ”

"I'm afraid I can't find anything out of what the other party is willing to stay." Ling Shucheng also picked up a vase, looked at it for a while, and didn't see anything famous, "Speaking of which, after you wake up, why don't you try to get in touch with the control team immediately." Judging from the chronological order that was sorted out before, when Yuan Sui had just woken up from the room, Ling Shucheng had just landed on the island, and her ID permission had not been cancelled.

"Because there's no signal here, and it's still now." Yuan Sui shook his left wrist, "After I went out, I was running for my life all the way, I didn't think about it." ”

In other words, the temporary cancellation of the ID proposed by himself did not have a significant negative impact on the escape of the first year. Ling Shucheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Did you order the cancellation?" Yuan Sui seemed to catch a little unnaturalness on Ling Shucheng's face, "Temporarily cancel the ID." ”

"Yes." Ling Shucheng admitted it very honestly. Although he actually doesn't have the authority to "directly order" as Yuan Sui thought.

"Why did you give such an order?" Perhaps realizing that this sentence sounded a bit aggressive, Yuan Sui immediately waved his hand wryly, "Sorry, I mean, in that case, why would your first reaction be this?" ”

It was like untying the first knot from the entanglement, and Ling Shucheng suddenly realized the crux of Yuan Sui's question. "When you were in the room, the leader of the three groups, was the corpse any different from the others?"

"Different?" Yuan Sui knocked on his head, and seemed to be trying to think about it for a while before he hesitated to speak, "Yang Group seems to be ...... Nothing different? If it's a small detail, I probably can't remember it clearly. ”

The arm being slashed across should not be considered a small detail. Judging from the accounts before the age of Yuan, she paid considerable attention to the remains of her companions, and it was impossible not to notice such a special situation. In the absence of any hint of the "different" direction, her answer is more consistent with the cautious attitude she has always shown.

"I seem to understand a little...... "Yuan Sui also seemed to come back to his senses, "what you see and what I ...... Is it different? It's also not right, you ordered the logout ID to be ...... before you see the site"

Speaking of this, Yuan Sui suddenly clapped his hands violently, let out an extremely crisp high-five, and suddenly realized. Immediately, obviously because she was slapping too hard, she blew her hands with a bitter face, with a little tears in her eyes, and cautiously tried to speak: "Look, it's not a good idea for us to think about each other. Can we ...... Uh, as your principles allow, trying to achieve information sharing? ”

Really. Ling Shucheng nodded in agreement. That's what his trip was all about.

"Then I'll start with that. I'll start by saying that it's a little more sincere. Yuan Sui sat on a wooden stool, looked up at Ling Shucheng and blinked, quickly "rubbed" up, patted the dust on the stool embarrassedly, and stammered and whispered, "You...... You sit first, I'll wipe it for you. With that, he took out a small handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the surface of the stool with great effort.

Do you look too serious? Ling Shucheng reflected in his heart for three seconds. He's not tired, and he's not a person who demands a lot of hard work.

"You-" Ling Shucheng and Yuan Sui's eyes full of "nervous" and "eager" briefly met, sighed, swallowed back the words of refusal, and sat down upright.

Yuan Sui then moved his steps and sat down on the stool opposite him, sitting stiffly. The two of them were separated by a small narrow wooden dining table.

"Just sit back." Ling Shucheng coughed lightly.

"Ah, no, it's fine." Yuan Sui scratched his head, "I may not be able to pretend for long, but I always have to sit in front of the chief to look a little better." ”

"Just say what you want to say, and I'll judge for myself."

"Okay." It was completely different from when she had just told the detailed enhanced version of the confession, Yuan Sui was a little nervous, and she rubbed her hands, obviously thinking about where to speak.

"Then let me answer one of your questions first." Ling Shucheng gently tapped his finger on the table to bring the girl in front of him back to his senses, "The leader of the sixth group, Yang Jingdian, when the body was found, the wrist of his left hand was cut open, and it was confirmed that the implanted ID was lost. ”

"What?" This information made Yuan Sui's eyebrows furrow, "What? ”

"I'll put it another way to be clearer," Ling Shucheng didn't simply repeat what he just said, "If it weren't for you not noticing, it means that someone deliberately touched his body during the period of time before I left after you left." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Sui hissed, wiped his face vigorously, and then whispered to himself: "Is it really ......?"

"What?"

Yuan Sui glanced at Ling Shucheng, his expression was not very natural, and he hesitated to speak: "I may have to tell you a bizarre addition...... and an even more bizarre speculation. Well, I'll start with an inexplicable question. ”

"You say." Ling Shucheng was very cooperative.

"Did you notice anything strange when you walked our route?" Yuan Sui paused for a moment and prompted, "Except that the route of the three groups is much more complicated than ours. ”

Ling Shucheng recalled it carefully in his mind, but still shook his head.

"It might be kind of funny to say it." Yuan Sui used his fingers to briefly outline the predetermined routes of the two groups on the dusty tabletop, and at the same time briefly marked the elements such as "lake", "forest", "hill", etc., "As you know, the route of our two groups is like this: from the starting point, the soldiers divide into two paths, each walk in a small semicircle, gather at the ruins of the square, and then explore together the next area that passes through the lake, that is, where the enemy is actually located. According to the schedule communicated by the team leader and the countermeasures team, our meeting time was 10:30 a.m. ”

"What's the problem?" Ling Shucheng didn't catch the "funny" point in Yuan Sui's mouth.

"Isn't that a strange arrangement?" Yuan Sui wrote the time point of ten thirty on the table, and made a big circle, "We will inevitably do a short repair close to half past ten, but at this point, it is too early to have lunch, if you reserve lunch time for the next trip, it is equivalent to wasting a period of time for unnecessary rest." Meaning, we can only sit in the square and wait, and we can't use this time to settle lunch by the way. ”

Ling Shucheng remembered the jar. According to this logic, maybe the person who steals the food originally intended to save time later? Or is it that this group of students originally had a good habit of eating on time?

"Because according to the internship schedule of the day, dinner must be eaten back to the ship after 20 o'clock in the evening. If you eat lunch too early, it will be difficult to survive in the afternoon. "Yuan Sui has a heartbeat.

Oh, no wonder. So what was solved was the storage of grain, and it seems that lunch still has to be eaten. Ling Shucheng tried hard to digest Yuan Sui's words, but he still couldn't grasp the reason why she told these little things. This only shows that the team leader, who is in charge of the preparation of the internship plan, and the control team that reviews the plans of each group, do not care much about the small details.

"But originally, it wasn't like that." Yuan Sui drew a big cross on the "10:30" on the table, "Everything you see from your perspective has problems from the very beginning. ”

Without waiting for Ling Shucheng to answer, Yuan Sui redrew a new route on the table. This time, the site of the confluence of the two groups turned into a small hill pack very close to the lake. "Look," Yuan Sui said, pointing to the abstract "hills," "if you concentrate here, then the meeting time is about one o'clock in the afternoon." It's not too late to eat, and it avoids a backlog of two-thirds of the key areas in the afternoon. ”

What's more, this point is only separated from the enemy's garrison by a lake, and it has a certain topographical advantage. If the six of them can meet here, and someone can withstand the first mental assault, it is not optimistic that they can simply break out, but the time to deliver the message to the control group may be enough.

"This internship program...... No, how did you decide on your group's internship program? As soon as this question was raised, Ling Shucheng was stunned.

"Don't you know the answer to this question?" Yuan Sui emphasized word by word, "The team leader is responsible for formulating, and the control group is responsible for revision." In other words, the people involved in the formulation should have been our team leader, Yang team leader, and control group. The rest of the group will not receive a specific internship plan until 10 minutes before the official start of the internship. ”

"You said 'originally.'" Ling Shucheng chewed on Yuan Sui's voice, "It means that these people are actually not the only ones who participated in the formulation?" ”

"I don't know exactly who the control group is." Yuan Sui narrowed his eyes, "But as I said before, our group is very democratic in private. Therefore, Xiao Zheng and I were in fact involved in the formulation of the route. And the other line that I just told you about is the one we originally submitted to. ”

"This is absolutely against the principle of confidentiality......" Ling Shucheng was half surprised, half sighed, "Can you be responsible for everything you just said?" ”

"Of course I can, is it that now that I'm the only one left, do I care about a few more punishments? Believe it or not is your business, though. Yuan Sui leaned forward, his eyes were a little piercing, "I'll also change to a more definite statement, I don't know for what purpose, the control team has made a big adjustment to our plan. And to some extent, this major adjustment has had a very negative impact on the final situation of our two groups. ”

This is no longer a hint, but an explicit. The girl showed him her last crazy card - she paid the price of being honest about the mistakes of principle that the group had committed, and used it to point out a group of people who were superior to her.

"Even if I believe what you say, it's far from enough evidence."

"So, what is the evidence?" Yuan Sui's voice rose suddenly, but it seemed that soon, she realized that Ling Shucheng was not the object of her hysteria, so she deliberately slowed down her tone, and said in a choked voice, "If I died, or if I didn't participate in the formulation of the plan, no one would be able to tell you that the control team had abnormally directly intervened in the matter of 'team leader full responsibility'. Because the ruins of the square are still quite far from this house, if I hadn't escaped, even you wouldn't have been able to find this place so quickly, would you? Do I have to be able to produce records that directly prove that there was a collaborator within the control group in order to be counted as evidence? What can I get for my position? I don't even doubt their qualifications! ”

Yuan Sui said faster and faster, and he was almost uncontrollably aggressive: "But I didn't even have the courage to say this before!" If I confess this directly in the quiet room, they will not care about my suspicions at all, they will only add a degree to my guilt because I revealed our group's previous violations, and they will also scrape off the names of the team leaders on the martyrs' monument! Even if these words spread farther and let those people know that I know much more than they thought, I will have to sit back and wait! So I had to stay in the quiet room...... Or staying alone in a dormitory, at least it proves that all this I just said was not taught by some big people to shake the position of some people! ”

"Yuan Sui," Ling Shucheng felt that he had to stop it, "you don't want to magnify your suspicions infinitely. ”

Yuan Sui took a hard breath and lay down directly on the dirty table, his voice was low, but the question was still sharp: "But think about it, isn't it all very strange?" Is the enemy's target only three groups, or are we two? What is so special about us? What exactly does our corpses mean to the enemy? Why should I take the ID of the Yang group after I leave? Even...... Why are you here for this task? Speaking of the last question, Yuan Sui suddenly raised his head.

Why do you do it yourself? Looking at the girl in front of him who had a large piece of ash on her forehead and her bangs were messy to some comedic effect, Ling Shucheng suddenly had an intuition.

Everything this girl said earlier, her meanness, her weakness, her caution, her boldness, were all paving the way for this last question.
