Chapter 58: The Truth
"Hey, who the hell are you?" Guan Fei asked loudly. The not very spacious room echoed for some reason.
In the flickering lights, the murderer wearing the ghost mask looked gloomy and terrifying. Xiao Rou raised her head and shook uncontrollably. In the flickering light, all that could be clearly identified was her horror and uneasiness.
At this time, Xiao Jiu stepped forward, swallowed his saliva and asked, "Are you...... Lin Yu? ”
Ghost Mask didn't answer, and the scene fell into a deathly silence. The flickering lights kept making a "pop-pop" sound, but it made the whole environment quieter.
Soon after, the silence was shattered by the sound of footsteps.
"Everyone's alright, right?!"
Lin Yu rushed in from outside the door, leaning against the wall and panting. Seeing him, everyone was obviously relieved, the murderer was not Lin Yu.
Lin Yu came to Lu Feng and whispered, "...... That's right, just as you think. ”
Although they knew that Lin Yu was not the murderer, everyone suddenly fell into a bigger mystery.
Now that everyone is here, who is the murderer?
Lu Feng stood up and shouted to the ghost mask, "It's all come to this, aren't you going to unmask yet?" ”
The ghost mask was stunned for a moment, and then slowly removed the mask. The light in the room flickered on and off, making it extremely unrecognizable to take off the masks, and everyone squinted.
Who is this??
The hairline of his forehead was shaved back drastically with a barber, and his face was smeared with a lot of makeup, and he was dressed up in a terrifying face, almost like he was wearing another mask.
"You, you're ...... Li Peiran!? Xiao Rou, who was observing from a close distance, muttered.
After she mentioned this, everyone let out an exclamation in hindsight, and although it had become unrecognizable, it could barely make out some features.
Then everyone fell into an inexplicable strange atmosphere.
"Aren't you dead?" Guan Fei shouted.
Li Peiran smiled, his expression was like a gloomy clown. But with such a smile, it makes people feel a little like Zhao Yinxiang, and the impression he gives is simply earth-shaking from before.
Lu Feng said, "Li Chen, didn't you mention the matter of alibi?" Now you know, dead people are the best alibi! ”
Indeed, no one would have thought that a dead person would be a murderer. This ruse Lu Feng had already told me at the bedside, and this was the murderer's strongest alibi.
"Wait, Lu Feng, how is this possible?" Xiao Jiu questioned, "Everyone has obviously seen his corpse......"
"The face was destroyed like that, is it really his corpse?" Lu Feng said.
After saying this, everyone realized that it was indeed a little unnatural for the murderer to destroy the face of the deceased after killing someone. But why didn't you think so?
Lu Feng said to Li Peiran: "You are indeed a master who is very good at pondering people's hearts. You let Tang Qiaoyi witness the whole process of the murder, and you saw with your own eyes the process of intoxicating the disfigurement of the deceased. All of this is translated to others through her mouth - 'Look, this is my killing style', and with the help of makeup to make up the image of Zhao Yinxiang, it also makes people feel that 'I am here for revenge and venting, so things like disfigurement are not worth mentioning at all', these two points dilute the sense of disobedience of deliberately destroying the face of the corpse. ”
Li Peiran smiled, and smiled very fiercely. I saw that the wound on his right hand had just been hastily tied up with his clothes, and the blood was forming blisters slowly oozing out from between the clothes.
"Wait, I still can't understand," Xiao Jiu asked, "You said that the person who was killed was not him, so who could it be?" ”
That's right, Su Alan had counted the number of people in the furniture store at that time, and everyone was gathered in the store at that time, except for those who had died. In other words, the number of corpses on the ground plus the living people in the store at that time is all the people in the underground shopping mall, so it can also be inferred that the deceased can only be Li Peiran. However, with this result, how can there be anyone else?
"Have you all forgotten? There's another person in this mall," Lu Feng turned to me and said, "and you've seen this person." ”
I was stunned at first, but immediately reacted: "You mean...... Don't? ”
"That's right, dead man!" Lu Feng said lightly.
Lin Yu said: "I have already checked just now, and the zombies locked in the room are gone. ”
I see. He moved the body to the second scene in advance, and then quickly came there after Tang Qiaoyi witnessed himself killing the first man, and successfully attracted others to find the disfigured "his body" wearing his clothes with gunfire.
Li Peiran smiled disappreciatively, as if he didn't care that we had seen through his technique.
"It's a deliberate killing game!" Lu Feng said, "Everything is the result of careful calculations, and even from the moment we escaped from the school cafeteria, this plan began. ”
Li Peiran suddenly laughed: "Wonderful! I can't hide it from you! ”
I saw him take out a Type 54 pistol from his pocket, and all of us were startled and hurriedly put on a fighting posture.
"At that time, you were all busy running above the cafeteria, and no one noticed that I took advantage of the chaos to take this guy from Zhao Yinxiang's dead man. Speaking of which, I've been thinking about how to kill everyone ever since......"
He played with the pistol in his hand, and then suddenly pointed the muzzle of the gun at Lu Feng.
"Be careful!" We shouted, but the land breeze didn't move.
There was a "click", and the muzzle of the gun made only a crisp sound.
"It's a pity, it's gone!" Li Peiran turned the handle of the gun and put it in his pocket again. "You guessed that, too?"
Lu Feng snorted slightly: "I have calculated, the bullets of this pistol are not so useful." And even if you still have bullets, you'll be left to kill yourself at this moment, right? ”
Li Peiran's playful expression suddenly twitched, obviously stimulated by this sentence. As soon as the knife in his hand tightened, a bloody mark appeared between Xiao Rou's neck.
"Hey, wait, don't mess around!" I nervously took a step forward, but Lu Feng stopped me and nodded at me.
Seeing his determined expression, my heart calmed down a little. I know what he must have done, and with his wisdom we've been through so far, I know that I can only trust him.
So Lu Feng opened his mouth again: "Hey, you said you planned to kill us all, but how are you going to kill us now?" With that knife of yours? ”
"Hmph, even if I can't kill you, at least I can use this girl on my back." As he spoke, he licked Xiao Rou's ear with his tongue, and Xiao Rou shrank in fright.
Lu Feng smiled: "In the end, your purpose is the same as Zhao Yinxiang's pervert, right?" Do you also have any terminal illnesses? ”
I sighed in my heart. Although he trusts Lu Feng, but now that Xiao Rou's life is on the verge of death, why did he deliberately provoke the other party?
I suddenly remembered the confrontation I had with Lu Feng in front of the commissary, and he kept talking to me like he did now.
Is it ......?
Out of the corner of my eye, I quietly glanced at the people behind me, one, two, three, four...... Hey, where did Ye Lao go?
At that moment, I faintly heard the faint sound of footsteps coming from above. For fear of being discovered by Li Peiran, I didn't dare to look up, but imagined in my mind that there was a pair of feet walking on the ventilation channel, quietly approaching the top of the murderer's head.
"Haha, you actually say that my purpose is the same as that dead man?"
Li Peiran was still unconsciously talking to Lu Feng. However, what he said next surprised us all.
"Sure enough, you still don't know anything, the 'truth' about this world!" He said.
