Chapter 20 Grouping
It took some time to introduce myself, and in fact, for the students of the third (6th) class of high school, the only two strangers were me and Beni Xiang - as for Munro, he left the room at the beginning and disappeared. .org
Xiang Beni's performance was undoubtedly a success, and the high-blooded high school student had little resistance to the pretty young lady, so I deliberately emphasized my detective identity in order to prevent everyone from focusing too much attention on me.
"Detective......"
Everyone let out a "whoosh", and several of them seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but then someone asked questions.
"Mr. Detective, what are we going to do?" It was a petite girl named He Xin who spoke and looked at me with timid and hopeful eyes, "You...... Can you get us out of here? ā
I had to tell the truth: "I'd love to do it, but I don't have a clue about escaping here." ā
"Don't be funny, he's kidnapped himself, just like us! Are you counting on him? What if, he's a werewolf?! A young man with a yellow cockscomb snorted coldly, looking at me with wary, even defiant, eyes.
I shrugged, not wanting to reason with him.
But the other party refused to let me go, maybe my silence was seen by him as a lack of heart, and the other party continued to sneer: "Don't you plan to justify? Hmph, when the electronic voice announced the rules of the game just now, I noticed a very strange point - the rules say that there are 3 werewolves in total, and in this room, there are exactly 3 people we don't know exist - do you think this is just a coincidence, Mr. Detective? ā
"Coincidence, of course."
He stood up: "So, what kind of ID tag are you?" ā
"Because there are at least two more werewolves in the room, so, sorry, no comment."
"I think you're weak-hearted!"
The cockscomb boy took a few steps towards me, looking like he wanted to fight.
My face sank.
While I didn't want to get into a confrontation with people - especially at the beginning of the game, this boy with a cockscomb head was too much...... Being forced to participate in this game of death, I can understand the pressure in everyone's hearts, but understanding is understanding, and that doesn't mean I have to indulge in the other person's vexatiousness.
As if stabbed by my eyes, the cockscomb scolded dryly, clenched his fists, and wanted to rush towards me.
"Hey, what are you going to do?" Another young man with a round head stood in front of the cockscomb head, it was Jiang Ziyao, "It's not that time yet, right?" If you each have any doubts about the identity of the other, you can identify each other or vote at trial time, but now that the game has just begun, isn't the best thing we should do is to figure out our situation first? ā
Jiang Ziyao is a sports student who practices sprinting, both in height and fitness, far surpassing the cockscomb head, and he stands in front of the cockscomb head like a wall.
Jiang Ziyao obviously had some prestige in the class, and the cockscomb head didn't dare to push Jiang Ziyao away, but just glared at me fiercely: "Be careful, I will always keep an eye on you!" You're definitely a werewolf! I'll vote for you at trial! ā
I'm not afraid of him voting for me, because my ID card is the Night Watch!
When the time comes for the trial, my identity will be proved, and it will be stronger than any justification.
So, I just smiled contemptuously, and retorted indifferently: "The person who provoked trouble for no reason, and did this, I'm afraid it's more like a werewolf than me, right?" Also, I have to warn you that after the 'day' comes the 'night', when one of us might die at the hands of a werewolf - so are you going to waste your precious time so boringly? ā
"That's right." Jiang Ziyao nodded, "I have to think about how to get out of this ghost place." ā
Under Jiang Ziyao's gaze, the cockscomb head reluctantly returned to his seat.
I have to say, this guy is very annoying, he keeps thinking in fragments, and I just don't hear it.
Xu Wen then spoke: "According to the rules, the daytime is only one hour, and until now, we have wasted ten minutes. The last ten minutes of the day are also minus, when everyone must arrive at their assigned location within the allotted time...... In other words, we have 40 minutes of safe time left before night falls ā what do you think? ā
Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke first.
"Otherwise, let's go out and find an exit! There must be windows and doors here, and even if they were closed, there would be so many of us, wouldn't it be nice to smash them open? Why do you have to play this what werewolf game? A fat man said.
His words immediately resonated.
"yes, let's go find the exit!"
"IāI don't want to stay here......"
"If you find an outlet, count me in."
ā¦ā¦
Xu Wendao: "In that case, let's divide into two groups - the exit will definitely not be found immediately, it is more efficient to find it separately, and if it is only divided into two groups, we are not afraid of being attacked." ā
"Okay, Xu Wen, you are in a group, I am in a group, and if you are willing to be in a group with me, just stand here - what kind of shit detective is that, don't come to my group." The cockscomb head immediately agreed with Xu Wen's suggestion, and he was a little clever, and suddenly became the leader of a group of people.
I ignored him, only glanced at Xu Wen, Xu Wen's eyes also happened to look over, and we looked at each other - I immediately understood that the so-called grouping was Xu Wen's strategy.
Everyone was still hesitating, Li Yuanxiang took the lead and ran to Xu Wen's side: "I, I'll follow Xu Wen's group......"
I also stood up: "Xu Wen, it seems that I can only join your group." ā
Xu Wen smiled: "Welcome to join, Mr. Detective." ā
But unexpectedly, almost all of the rest of the people went to the cockscomb head.
Including the fat man, and Xie Jiayin, who was a little suspicious of Xu Wen.
In the blink of an eye, there were already 6 people in the cockscomb group.
To my surprise, Jiang Ziyao actually joined me and Xu Wen's group.
"I ...... I don't know which group to choose......" showed Bennie a very troubled expression.
Cockscomb beckoned to her and said with a smile: "Of course the beautiful sister is here in my group, there are many of us, and it is safer!" ā
Jiang Ziyao disagreed: "Do you think it's a mixed society and a gang? You've got 6 people, and if there's another one, it's a group of 7, a group of 4. In that case, the number of people in the two groups would be too unbalanced, which is not quite in line with the original purpose of our grouping, right? ā
"Everyone chooses freely, and they can come to whichever group they like, and I didn't force it."
Standing between the two of them, he apologized to Bennie, "Yes, I'm sorry, I'll join this group with few people, don't you quarrel, okay?" ā
I watched Xiang Beni's performance coldly, but I didn't say anything.
