52.9 per cent for option I, 11.76 per cent for option two, 23.53 per cent for option three and 11.76 per cent for option four.

……

[Option 1]

[Go to the house where the dispute started and the neighboring houses to confirm the situation.] 】

……

Zheng Zhuo left room 204.

The results of the poll also show that it is better to go out to investigate. Zheng Zhuo said to himself in his heart and slowly left the hiding place.

The midday sun fell on Zheng Zhuo's face. He hesitated, but instead of walking down the road, he walked along the narrow porch next to the building.

Gada, Gada.

This is an experience that Zheng Zhuo has never felt before. Even though he was outdoors, he could only hear his own breathing and footsteps.

After asking himself "Is this a nightmare" many times, Zheng Zhuo went to his previous hideout.

It was the first time he had seen the building from the outside. The small building was austere, only two stories high, with an attic from above, which he had heard the thief arguing with another unknown person last night, which should have been there.

Zheng Zhuo pushed the door.

The door opened.

……

There is no trace of blood or gunsmoke as expected. In the house, there is nothing.

Zheng Zhuo walked into the house. He didn't see a thief or someone who looked like a thief.

I searched all over the first floor, but there was none. There is no second floor, and the attic ......

“…… There is no ...... either."

There is no figure of a thief anywhere. The food, water, and daily necessities were still piled up in their place.

“……”、

Zheng Zhuo pondered.

Just now, the fat man disappeared after falling to the ground. Along with the traces he had brought, they evaporated completely.

(Meaning...... Thief...... Probably dead too? ）”

If he also disappeared like the fat man, he would indeed disappear.

(thing to be able to confirm...... Not a single one...... ）”

Zheng Zhuo frowned.

That's when it happened.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in through the window, and Zheng Zhuo narrowed his eyes-

- Immediately after, he heard a human voice.

The sound of people walking on the road and shoes stepping on the ground. The sound of talking to each other. The sound of a door being opened. The sound of goods being put on the ground.

“——！”

Zheng Zhuo threw himself at the window.

Again, he saw people.

The vanished phantoms are back.

……

…………

………………

"Do you know what's going on?"

Zheng Zhuo slapped his hand on the table at the counter hard.

"Someone shoots in the street! No, it should be a one-sided hunt...... There are also people who will unleash invisible attack waves at the end of the sword! Someone has a gun, someone fights on the rooftop, someone teleports -"

Zheng Zhuo gestured hand and foot to the boss and the female student who he hadn't seen for two days, trying to explain what he had experienced.

"Did you see that!? No, no, you must have seen it, it is impossible that no one has seen it! Moreover, there was a loud explosion just now! Even if you hide under the floor, even if it's five kilometers away, no, ten kilometers away, you can hear—"

"Ha ......"

However, no matter how hard Zheng Zhuo slapped the table, revealing a desperate expression, the boss and the female student only frowned suspiciously.

"We don't make movies in this small place."

The boss touched his bald head.

"Are you in the wrong place, young man? We haven't seen you for the past two days. Where do you live? ”

"I ...... Possible...... I lived in a place that no one could find out......

"What?"

“…… Yes...... No......"

Zheng Zhuo banged his head on the counter.

(Bosses, they don't believe what I say at all.) Is it because they are phantoms? No, no, even if it's a living person, I'm afraid it's hard to believe...... ）”

"Damn cell phone software...... I really want to go back......"

Zheng Zhuo muttered to himself. Whether it was a hallucination or a game, he didn't want to be held at gunpoint again.

"Checking out?"

The schoolgirl asked.

"Ah, not ...... yet"

The reaction was too fast. Zheng Zhuo's belly slandered.

"I'm just saying it casually...... Anyway, no one will say 'I really want to go back', so let's just check out......"

"Yes."

“…… What? ”

"Yesterday there was a man who said 'I want to go home' and checked out. Right, Daddy? ”

"yes. I'm quite impressed, room 104, right? It's right downstairs from you, guy—wow. ”

Zheng Zhuo raised his head suddenly. The boss was startled by his expression and swallowed the rest of the sentence.

"Men? What does it look like? ”

"Uh...... Chubby ...... Dressed in a suit and with a kind face—"

"Can you remember him!?"

“…… That's what we do? Wait, little brother, I'm so excited, I'm too close. ”

"No, no, no, I mean, you haven't forgotten to come into contact with him!"

Zheng Zhuo was about to put his face on the boss's bald head. He unconsciously raised his voice.

Chubby man in a suit.

Ignore the kindness of your face......

The other two characteristics, no matter how you think about it, think that it is the man who is still chasing the thief in the street with a gun, and then enters the house to kill himself.

Zheng Zhuo thought that perhaps he had a preconceived idea that the physical traces would disappear, and the phantoms' memories of the participants would also disappear.

But the phantoms could remember him. Well, they must remember the other participants as well. I remember where they lived, what they were doing at what time, and what they were asked.

(The rest of the participants don't know where they went...... ）”

If it was possible, Zheng Zhuo hoped never to see them again. However, he also hated the fact that he had to worry about someone attacking him with a knife or gun at all times.

Zheng Zhuo stood up abruptly.

"You remember! Do you know anything else—"

Zheng Zhuo's eyes suddenly darkened.

He was so excited that he got up so hard that he almost fell to the ground.

"Little brother, little brother! You okay? ”

Seeing that he was about to fall backwards, the boss hurriedly ran to him from behind the counter.

……

…………

………………

Zheng Zhuo was lying on the bed in room 204, his eyes wide open.

Outside the window, it was already completely dark, but Zheng Zhuo had just woken up.

At noon, the boss rushed to help him who was weak. But he still said, "It's okay, it's okay", and insisted on asking the boss's father and daughter for the corresponding information before going back to the room to rest.

He was so tired. As soon as I returned to the room, I fell into a coma.

…… Until now.

Zheng Zhuo turned over and got up and lit the lamp at the head of the bed. He pulled out his notes from the pocket of his sweatshirt that had been left in a chair next to him.

"Five people, including me, stayed at the hotel."

"Room 104: Fat man in a suit

Room 201: Young woman in a red dress and sunglasses...... I think it's the fashionable woman I saw when I went to the waterfall spring.

Room 204: Me

Room 303: Middle-aged woman

Room 304: Old man"

The two of 303 and 304, Zheng Zhuo was not impressed. He thought he might not have met these two.

"All four of them checked out last night and the room was also cleaned without leaving anything behind......"

Counting the time, it should be the night he and the thief huddled in the basement for the night.

After that night, everyone on the street was missing.

“……”

What about the others?

Just when Zheng Zhuo was thinking......

Knock, knock, knock, knock.

“——！”

The bell rings.

Is it 12 o'clock?

Zheng Zhuo looked to the left.

The panel of the [collective subconscious] has long been opened.

He has been waiting for the situation of the winner and the out.

And as the bell rang, text slowly appeared on the interface.

……

【Winner of the Night】

【Explorer】

……

【Explorer】...... Isn't that ......

I?

Zheng Zhuo was taken aback.

However, what surprised him even more was still to come.

……

【Those who are out today】

【Innocent】【Wise】【Rebel】【Magician】【Hero】【Joker】【Orphan】【Ruler】

……

So much?

Zheng Zhuo only felt that his brain was "buzzing".

He counted them.

Eight people.

It's out today...... Eight people.

He jerked through his notes.

Yesterday's outs were, [Love], [Caregiver], and [Creator].

Counting the three people who were out yesterday, so far, a total of eleven people have been out.

“…… Eleven people. ”

The thief said that the number of participants in the previous game was twelve.

If the number of participants in this game is still the same as the previous game......

That means —

"Everybody but me...... are ...... Eliminated ......? ”

How so?

Zheng Zhuo was shaken.
