Although Marshall knew that there was something wrong with Ellie, she couldn't blatantly question her in front of everyone, everything was not a foregone conclusion. She had another problem to solve: she slept in bed two nights in a row. This does not happen during the day, and only at night. Erin did check Marshall's bed for any procedures that caused him to fall asleep, but the answer was no.

If Marshall falls into a deep sleep and does not wake up for a long time, then she will not be able to perceive the danger that may be happening around her. Since it wasn't because of magic, Marshall had to look elsewhere for the reason. They have been resting very comfortably in the "City of Hearts" in recent days, and it is impossible for them to be very tired. The disappearance of his teammates was just a small episode, and it didn't make Marshall exhausted, it was just the difference between one more person and one less. It's a bit cold-blooded, but it's true.

"No one is going to mess around under someone else's bed......" Marshall pouted, she hadn't actually eaten at the table yet, "let's go eat again." ”

As a general rule, the restaurant in the City of Hearts is open to everyone at any time of the day, so even if the plates are empty, as long as you sit inside, there will be food served. Marshall slowly searched around the corner of his memory, and soon came to the hall of the cafeteria. There was no one to eat now, and the dolls were silent as they cleaned up the crumbs of food around the table, as if they had no ability to speak.

Upon seeing Marshall's arrival, the dolls respectfully made a way for her to sit down and hold a menu into her hand. Marshall finished ordering and wiped a handful on the table to see if there was any dust. This was an inadvertent act, but Marshall found some clues. Her hands were stained with a little white powder, although it was only a shallow layer, like a thin gauze, but it could still be seen clearly.

"What is this?" Marshall tilted his head in confusion, "Aren't all tables wiped clean?" How can you leave all this white powder......" She casually wiped the table next to her with her hand, and all of them were white powder. The dolls were still wiping the white table with white rags over and over again, seemingly innocent, but an inexplicable fear rose in Marshall's heart.

[Marshall, if you don't mind, you can try these powders.] 】

Reluctantly, Marshall did agree with what Erin said, and she reached out her index finger and licked the white powder stuck to it with the tip of her tongue.

Marshall covered her head, and the moment her tongue touched the white powder, her vision quickly dimmed, and an extremely intense sleepiness swept over her. She hurriedly pinched her middle to force herself to come to her senses.

So that's it..... Everyone must have come to the restaurant to eat, and although they didn't eat the powder directly, they would inhale the powder that made people drowsy if they stayed here for a long time. Once the amount of powder inhaled reaches a certain level, the effect will naturally come out, causing people to be drowsy! Marshall stood up immediately, she didn't want to stay here for a minute or a second, the dolls seemed to be calculated, and the amount she had inhaled was just enough to make her feel intensely tired when she lay in bed at night.

Marshall immediately went to Ellie's room and asked to sleep with her tonight, ostensibly to keep Ellie safe, but secretly to find out the truth about everything. Her dream came true, they were like fat pigs waiting to be slaughtered on a pig farm, and they didn't know when they died, so they lost their lives in vain.

Ellie, played by a puppet, was naturally overjoyed when she heard Marshall say this. In this way, she went to find them one by one. She had just devoured Ilya, and she still needed to digest it for a while, so she pretended to be unwell at noon, so she didn't go to the restaurant to eat with the rest of the people. The doll is not affected by the powder, so it doesn't matter if you go there or not.

Marshall didn't know if Zibelin and Yuri were influenced by the puppet, but she was in disbelief for the time being, seeing the sadness on their faces.

"Ilya is gone." Marshall tried his best to put aside the white powder on the table, and didn't eat a few bites, "I now have a preliminary suspicion that a puppet has blended into the crowd, and replaced the members of the team and eliminated the remaining few people one by one. ”

Zibelin wiped his mouth and said uneasily: "These puppets are really hiding people's eyes...... Hypocrisy. Truth be told, trust in each other is gone, but the problem is that we still have to hold on to it. ”

"We can set a code, if someone replaces it, the next day's 'we' will definitely not be able to answer." Yuri said, "Marshall, you are saying this in front of us now, it seems that you think that the puppet has become the appearance of Ellie?" Is there any actual evidence that you can show us? ”

Marshall took out the note written by Ellie and spread it out in front of the remaining two: "Look." I think the code method works. ”

The two who knew the truth were taken aback, just seeing the wonderful looks of the two, the corners of Marshall's mouth curled slightly, confirming the idea that they were not puppets. Then the next plan is very clear, just catch the turtle in the urn. The three of them left the restaurant, briefly discussed the code that needed to be checked the next day, and left quickly.

In the evening, Marshall and Ellie go back to a room. Before going to bed, Marshall specially rested the magic sword on the bedside table, and if something happened, she could immediately get up and draw the sword. Her ID card is pinned to her waist, and she can react quickly if the wind blows.

[I'll use magic to stimulate your spirit, try not to fall asleep, Marshall.] 】

The night slowly sank, and Marshall remained awake for the first time, probably for the last time. Her body and mind were cold, as if she had fallen into a sea of chaos - that was the [Sea of Chaos]. It's not just a sea of ashes, it's a lost, empty area. She seemed to be suffocated, unable to utter a word.

I don't know how long later, Marshall finally heard a rustling sound, she didn't move at first, she slowly opened her eyes, and used her peripheral vision to spy closely on everything that was happening around her. Ellie suddenly bounced out of bed, lifted Marshall's futon, and reached for her ID card.

"As long as you quit this game, then this team is probably over......" Ellie leaned down expressionlessly, her eyes covered with a gray cloud, "but there is no way to ......"

Ellie never thought that Marshall, who should have been asleep, grabbed her wrist at this time, opened her eyes, sat up straight, and looked at her quietly! Ellie even squeezed out the strength to feed and pulled out her arm vigorously, but she still didn't move.

"No way." Marshall shook his head and said coldly, "If I hadn't had a heart, I would have been fooled by you, wouldn't I?" ”

"When did you find out?" Ellie twitched and laughed, and she spun her wrist to an extremely unnatural degree, and the sound of flesh and bone separating sounded like a string of dumb firecrackers. Ellie actually took off her palms, kicked her feet back, and jumped straight to the ground!

"You're really a puppet...... Marshall tossed aside the puppet palm that had changed back to the original in her hand, she grabbed the magic sword on the bedside table, and three or two petals chopped the broken palm into pieces, "You still have a chance to say something, don't make me angry anymore." Can you turn this skin back? You're playing with the friendship between me and Ellie. ”

"Really? Ellie has blatantly betrayed you......" Ellie held her wrist, no blood flowed out of the neat incision, and the window was white and belonged to the joints of the doll, "Even so, do you still need to protect her?" She came to me with the badge called Minia...... How simple! That's what I gave you—" Before Ellie could finish speaking, Marshall was already in front of her, and the magic sword was firmly on Ellie's chest.

Ellie pursed her lips, lowered her head, and said in a sinister manner, "You will all die...... What's more, it's also unknown whether you can beat me...... The body of the puppet is stronger than you think. ”

"I'll answer you." With a flick of Marshall's wrist, Ellie's other hand was disconnected from it, and it wasn't even enough to cut off one of her legs. This time the doll had to lie on the ground in embarrassment, no matter how hard her mouth continued, she knew that she would not end well in the end.

"I'm not going to tell you anything." Ellie smiled calmly and said, "Whether it's me personally, or the rules within this 'City of Hearts'...... Won't allow me to tell you anything. ”

"I won't believe a word from you." Marshall raised an eyebrow, "Do you think we didn't have any doubts about the rules in the 'City of Hearts'?" She pulled out an ID badge from her bag and threw it in her face.

"Neither will I...... I won't say—" Ellie's cheeks froze suddenly, and some mechanical syllables suddenly spat out of her mouth, "What information do you need to know?" Fees are graded according to the importance of the information – I won't say a word! ”

Marshall snorted coldly and muttered, "Sure enough......" She immediately severed Ellie's last leg, revealing the pale and weak puppet limbs. Ellie's skin could no longer hold on, and it crackled and boiled, melting into a fishy black water, and the doll's body gradually emerged from the black water.

"I'll let you judge." Marshall inserted the [Golden Rose] into the puppet's chest, "How many identity tags at a time?" ”

"One question, one identity tag." The doll didn't die because of this, and it seems that as long as it doesn't hurt the pink heart in the heart, the doll won't lose its mobility.

Marshall had ten badges, enough for her to ask all the questions: "Every squad mixes in the puppets and attacks the team members." ”

"Yes."

"The core of the puppet is the identity tag, and it's the identity tag of the team members who have died."

"Yes."

Marshall thought that the identity cards that were snatched were all on them, and then found out from the puppets that those identity cards with names and surnames must not be out of their hands, and the only possibility was that the team members who died unexpectedly due to various circumstances in the first 20 days. But...... How exactly is this possible? And what is the purpose of the puppet?

"The dolls are all manipulated by someone here."

"Not exactly."

"In some ways, the puppet can act according to the wishes of the original identity tag owner."

"Yes."

"The puppet needs to obtain the identity cards of everyone in the 'City of Hearts'."

"Yes."

"Get enough badges, and the team of all the badges in the puppet can still pass the test."

"Yes."

"The dolls were made by the creators of this space."

"Yes."

"We're just a bunch of fools......"

"Yes." Speaking of which, the puppet's voice was a little playful, "Please pay the fee-"

Before the puppet could finish speaking, Marshall stabbed the puppet's heart with a sword, wordlessly picked up a string of identity cards on the ground, and sat on the bed. Puppets have their own rules that they must follow, and there is a limit to their number. The dolls are independent individuals and do not have a relationship with each other, so the death of the individual will not implicate the surrounding dolls to attack......

The answer behind this farce is rapidly emerging, and the final night of this test is coming to an end.
