Chapter 272: Taking a Risk

Although in such an environment, it is not a wise decision to disperse everyone to search for Lin Xiaoxue, but at the moment, in order to lure out the second "killer" hiding among us, I can only choose to take risks.

This Western-style pavilion is specially built, and with the closure of the gate, it has been completely cut off from the outside world. After all the things that have happened, the oxygen left in the mansion is obviously insufficient, and if everyone stays together and continues to drag on like this, everyone present may die of suffocation here.

Either I'm going to be consumed here alive or I'm going to give it a go, which is clearly more in line with my style in comparison.

The people who are still alive today are all smart people, and when I told them what I wanted to do, they knew what I wanted to do next.

After that, the chances of survival are the same for both the detective camp and the killer camp.

Under the premise of dispersed action, the killer has been given space to act, and with that guy's ability and the city, even if he risks being discovered, he will definitely not miss this hard-won opportunity. Compared to everyone dying together, the other party must also want to get out of here alive.

And for us, if that killer commits the crime again, it will inevitably leave clues. With traces, there is a direction to detect, and if you are lucky, you may be able to reveal the true face of that guy before the next victim appears!

Lu Yuan held the blade in his hand and slashed through Lei Tianlong's already hardened arm, pouring dark red blood into the container of the main gate.

After the person died, the blood stopped flowing, and it took Lu Yuan a lot of effort to fill the container with nearly 2L of blood. At this moment, I felt a shaking in the building, and the left half of the container was lit up instantly, and immediately after, a figure in the shape of a half-key appeared on top of the container.

It seems that Lei Tianlong's blood should have successfully activated the induction device in the container, if nothing else, as long as the blood of the second killer is also poured into it, this door to freedom will finally be opened!

"Without further ado, let's take action!"

After a few moments, I told everyone present about the mechanism implied by the spiral staircase and the fact that the Western-style pavilion was divided into two areas, A and B. When they heard this, they all looked incredulous.

Indeed, without witnessing the rotation of the staircase, such a description is tantamount to fantasy and is hardly convincing.

Right now, there are still eight living people left in the hall, namely me, Lu Yuan, Lin Jie, Long Zaitian, Sister Yue'er, Li Ke, Wang Xiao, and Bai Zidong. And the second "killer" is hidden among the eight of us! Everyone can be the "killer", even the closest people around them.

Right now, I don't believe anyone but myself,

Eight people can be evenly dispersed in different areas on both sides of Western-style buildings A and B, and each person is responsible for searching one of the floors. The time is set for an hour, and after an hour, no matter what happens, everyone must rush to this place to gather and report on the situation in their area.

The area that each person is responsible for is decided fairly by drawing lots, and after Sister Yue'er disrupts the pieces of paper, she personally hands over the pieces of paper to the remaining seven people.

Doing so will ensure our security to the greatest extent possible.

The "killer" is hidden among the eight of us, and if he can be assigned to an unknown area, there is a certain chance that the guy's plan will be disrupted.

Although the future action will be risky, but in this situation, no one wants to put their lives in vain, including me.

Lu Yuan drew the second floor of Area B, and Lin Jie drew the third floor of Area B, and they were lucky, the floors responsible for the search happened to be next to each other, so they could take care of each other. In the end, the area I drew to search was the four-story building in Area A, and the only one closest to me was Sister Yue'er, who was drawn on the second floor of Area A.

After checking the time, everyone went their separate ways, the time was set for an hour, and after that, everyone came back to the place!

The people in Area B set off first, and Lu Yuan led them into the staircase, rotated the entire staircase in the same way as before, and then led them into Area B of the Western Pavilion.

After a few moments, I gathered my gear and walked alone down the dark hallway.

The lighting of the Western-style Pavilion was destroyed by Lei Tianlong, so I had to use a tactical flashlight to barely illuminate it. The silent dark corner, as if it were hiding a terrible monster, would suddenly burst out and take my life before I knew it.

The entire corridor was very dark, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air, which made people feel uncomfortable all over their bodies after smelling it.

I don't know where Lin Xiaoxue has gone or where she is now.

But right now, since the second "killer" has been hiding among us, she shouldn't have time to poison Lin Xiaoxue, so I can temporarily think that Xiaoxue's girl should still be safe.

I didn't stay with Xiaoxue when she disappeared, but through the accounts of Sister Yue'er and others, I was able to roughly simulate the specific situation at that time in my mind.

At that time, there was chaos on the third floor of Area A, and the murderer destroyed the power supply in the Western-style pavilion, killed two people in the chaos, and took the opportunity to kidnap Sister Yue'er.

And during the whole process mentioned above, Lei Tianlong was not at the scene.

Extrapolating from the time, when the chaos happened, that guy was busy dealing with me, Lu Yuan, and the dragon in the sky. Therefore, he cannot be the perpetrator of this chaos, and the only one who can do all this may be the "second killer" hiding among us!

But how can one person accomplish so many things at the same time in a limited amount of time? Destroying the power supply, killing people, and kidnapping Sister Yue'er, no matter what, it's not easy. Could it be that in addition to those two "killers", there were other people involved in that operation?

If this is the case, the others except me, Lu Yuan, and the dragon in the sky will become more and more suspicious.

Perhaps, in addition to Lei Tianlong, the mastermind behind the scenes has also sent other impostors to infiltrate, and this time, the opponent I will face is powerful and terrifying.

After the chaos occurred, Lin Jie quickly organized most of the people to move towards the hall on the first floor, and it was during this time that Lin Xiaoxue mysteriously disappeared.

Before that, I had gone to room 308 on the third floor to investigate, and there were bloody footprints all over the outside of the corridor, so I destroyed the original scene, so I couldn't find too many valuable clues.

The corridor on the fourth floor was unusually dark, so he clenched the flashlight in his hand and walked down the corridor in turn.

The first two rooms, which belonged to me and Lu Yuan, respectively, and the row of empty rooms in front of them were uninhabited, until the last room, room 410, belonged to Long Zaitian.

The four-story building has the fewest guests, so there should be the fewest clues left, or the "real culprit" hasn't been here at all. So, so far, my mind is full of shadows of the other seven people.

Trying to find out the flaws exposed by the second "killer" by recalling certain details.

But at this moment, a smell of all things pulled me back to reality. The smell was all too familiar to me, and it was the smell of blood.

The smell of blood came from the end of the hallway, spreading all the way, and the deeper I went into the dark hallway, the thicker it became, and by the end, I almost choked on my breath.

It's strange, if there was something at the end of the hallway, I should have noticed it since I entered the fourth floor, but why didn't the smell of blood spread until just now?

Could it be that when I was thinking about it just now, something was quietly happening in the dark corridor?

Sweat continued to drip down my back, and I subconsciously took out the saber in my pocket, clenched it with my backhand, and walked towards the dark corridor step by step.

Following the beam, I could barely see clearly, and in the dark corridor, a vague figure vaguely appeared. There were other people on the other than me on the fourth floor!
