Chapter 25: Triggering the Plot
The cartoon castle in the center looks tall, but in fact there are only two floors inside, and the clues only mention one of the deceased, leaving fingerprints on the windows on the first floor, and the doors and windows show no signs of damage.
"Wow~"
The window on the first floor was smashed by the big sword, and I saw Cheng Yifei flexibly climb up to the window sill, open the window, jump in and pick up the sword again, and look around in the dark hall.
The first floor is a place to sell crystal crafts, which is spacious and neat.
Cheng Yifei walked up to the second floor with a sword again, but he didn't expect that it had been transformed into a conference room, and dozens of photos of outstanding employees were posted on the wall, and the corresponding names and positions were also marked.
"Hmph~ Finally found the main owner......"
Cheng Yifei walked into the pantry in the corner, and a small wooden door appeared inside, with the words "maintenance channel" pasted on the door.
"Bang~"
Cheng Yifei stomped the wooden door open, quickly rushed into the passage with a big sword, and followed the iron staircase to the hidden attic.
But the attic was empty, and he hung down his sword in astonishment.
There were a bunch of empty bottles and cans on the ground, not even a table or chair, only a bunk made of cardboard shells, and looking at the greasy human figures sleeping on the paper shells, it was obvious that someone had been living here for a long time.
"Why can't you be here, it doesn't make sense......"
Cheng Yifei walked to the ground shop very incomprehensibly, and he hinted that Chu Duran lured the others away in order to eliminate the theft gang, and all signs indicated that people were hiding in the castle.
"There won't be a basement......
Cheng Yifei kicked away the pillow made of dolls, but he didn't expect that there was a cowhide envelope under the pillow, the address was written on the envelope but it was not sealed, he squatted down and pulled out a piece of stationery from it, but Juanxiu's handwriting was only half a page.
Dear Mom,
I've let you down again, I've been an outlier in the eyes of others since I was a child, a waste kid who has never fought for your face, but I've had a really happy time away from home.
I've met a lot of good friends, no one treats me as a freak anymore, I never have nightmares anymore, I live in a fairy tale every day, and I meet someone I want to love with my life......
"Knock~"
A muffled sound suddenly came from downstairs, Cheng Yifei hurriedly put the envelope into his arms, walked to the small window and looked out, the enchantment had shrunk to the central area, and the total number of players was only 27.
"Ah Fei! Where are you, come out quickly......"
Aunt Xiao's anxious shout sounded again, and he hurriedly returned to the hall on the first floor with his sword, but he didn't expect that the hall had been illuminated by emergency lights.
"Boss Cheng! It's not good to eat alone......"
President Gu leaned against the counter with a smile, his subordinates were missing a green-haired girl, but he brought the rest of the players, and more than twenty people were knocking around, obviously looking for the entrance to the basement.
'23 people! There are 4 less, and there can't be so few criminals......'
Cheng Yifei secretly counted the number of people present, and the two masters and apprentices of the big Oiran had been let go by him, at the cost of killing the ordinary players who cooperated, but they said that there were at least 6 criminals, and there must be criminals mixed in front of him.
"Dumbo! Are you alright......"
Chu Duran ran over with Aunt Xiao in her hand, and said in her ear: "I led everyone to the staff dormitory, but President Gu was like receiving news, and suddenly turned around and came to the castle halfway, did you let anyone see it?" β
"Hmph~ President Gu! It's not good for you to be duplicitous......"
Cheng Yifei raised his head and said: "There is only one person who knows that I am in the castle, and that is the archer who escaped at the beginning, he has been wearing a hood, even if he cooperates with the big Oiran, he does not reveal his identity, I didn't expect him to be a member of your Skull Club!" β
"Ha ~ Boss Cheng ......"
President Gu said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense without evidence, my eyeliner is not a criminal, she has always been by your side!" β
As he spoke, he beckoned to the fox leaf.
"Me?"
Fox Ye pointed to the tip of his nose and said in astonishment: "I...... I'm your eyeliner, don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing! β
"Brother! Sorry ......"
Suddenly!
The little assistant walked out from behind her with a guilty face, and under the incredulous gaze of everyone, he lowered his head and hid beside President Gu.
Aunt Xiao scolded angrily: "Little slut! Thanks to us saving you again and again, you are actually a traitor! β
"Hahaha......"
Fox Ye laughed angrily: "Xiao Tian! You're really good, let's have a bunch of old fritters, let you play a little rookie, I will always remember this account! β
"Xiaoli! Don't be angry, I'm here to win your heart......"
President Gu said helplessly: "Xiao Tian's younger brother needs heart surgery, so I will arrange the best expert for her and ask her to reveal some of your preferences to me, if Cheng Yifei didn't want to eat alone, she wouldn't have reported to me!" β
"President! Found the stolen goods......"
The big bald head suddenly shouted in surprise, only to see a set of wall cabinets opened by him, revealing a vent to remove the cover.
Hidden inside were two black travel bags, one of which had been pulled open in half, revealing a large amount of gold and silver jewelry.
"Well done!"
President Gu said excitedly: "Since the stolen goods are here, the theft gang must be internal employees, and the NPCs must be hidden in the castle or nearby, and they have nothing to do with the player's criminals at all!" β
"Buzz ......"
A series of vibrations rang out again, but it wasn't the last clue order, but it triggered the latest plot-
"The burglar gang has been alerted and has fled, send the names of the four thieves to the alarm platform to complete the target mission"
γTips: The platform only accepts the alarm information of the first ten people, and each person only has one chance to send, and the sending error will be eliminated (0/10)γ
ββ¦β¦β
The noisy hall was as silent as death in an instant, and everyone thought that as long as one person completed the task, the rest of the people could take advantage of the east wind to lie down and win, but they didn't expect that in the end, they were fighting for the place to survive.
"Quick! Whoever has a clue to mention the name, hurry up and put it together......"
President Gu couldn't wait to clapping and shouting, but everyone spread their hands blankly, and finally looked at Cheng Yifei in unison.
"Cut~"
Cheng Yifei said disdainfully: "Look at what use I am, who would have thought that a list is needed to pass the customs, the criminal has already burned the staff roster!" β
Someone said anxiously: "But you can't wait for death, you have to do something, right?" β
"Looking for President Gu, doesn't he have criminals under him, he must have kept a copy for him......"
Cheng Yifei leaned against the wall and said with a smile: "President Gu!" Don't pretend anymore, the little assistant is just you pulling out the blame, she doesn't know where I am at all, if the archer weren't for your missing subordinates, I'll kick your head as a ball! β
ββ¦β¦β
President Gu stared at him coldly and didn't speak, until everyone was anxiously urging, he pulled out the headset from his collar and said through the walkie-talkie, come in!
"! It's really him......"
A group of people suddenly looked at the door angrily, only to see the hooded man silently appear outside the door, took out a form from his arms, and said in a deep voice: "The list of officers on duty that night, a total of sixteen people, the clues all point to the actors in the theater!" β
"Thankfully!"
President Gu walked over with an expressionless face, and at this time, anyone could understand his embarrassment, even the big bald head was embarrassed to pick the floor with his toes.
"Cheng Yifei is a rule breaker, kill him to get all the rewards......"
The hooded man added coldly, and everyone suddenly let out a burst of exclamations, and even Aunt Xiao and her eyes widened in surprise.
"That's right! Lao Tzu is a BUG, and he wants to take my head and let the horse come......"
Cheng Yifei raised his long sword unruly, glancing at a group of strange players arrogantly, and the people of the Botanical Pavilion also firmly surrounded him, so that a group of people did not dare to look at him at all.
"Huh~"
Suddenly!
A black shadow flashed coldly through the door, and when everyone heard the movement and looked over, the hooded man's head had already rolled to the ground.
"Poof~~"
A chamber of hot blood spurted directly into the hall, and the headless corpse still maintained the posture of handing the form, once again stunned everyone.
"Muxi! What do you want to do......"
President Gu roared angrily, the black shadow was actually the green-haired girl under him, and the green-haired girl snatched the form again and quickly disappeared into the darkness outside the door.
"Bang~"
A Molotov cocktail was suddenly thrown in the darkness, and a large flame burst out in the hall, forcing President Gu and the others to retreat one after another.
"Ahh
Cheng Yifei lowered his long sword and said in annoyance: "I forgot to say, the green-haired girl is the apprentice of the big Oiran, an undercover agent sent by Feng Wu Jiutian!" β
"Chase! Chase me all ......."
President Gu angrily pulled out a short knife and led a group of people around the flames and chased them out, but none of the nine people in the botanical hall moved.
"Go upstairs!"
Cheng Yifei turned his head and ran upstairs, everyone followed in surprise, and the little assistant also subconsciously chased after him.
"Get out! Little slut, don't let me see you again......"
Fox Ye shook her hand and gave her a big mouth, the little assistant covered her face and cried, she spat again before running into the staircase.
"Sister!"
The golden chain stopped her and said urgently: "Now there are thirteen people, at least three of them have to die, you have to get the fake wine flying immediately, he must have a list in his hand!" β
"How can you let me do it, undress in public and sleep with him......"
Fox Ye glared angrily, rubbed his hands together and said: "This kind of thing, quantitative change can't cause qualitative change, you have to let him see your arrogance, let him know that you are not conquered, and if you have the desire to conquer, he will naturally go up!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Fox Ye blinked in disbelief and said in surprise: "You...... Who did you learn this from, and how did you suddenly become so smart? β
"Chu Duran! The daughter-in-law of a wealthy family is full of routines, and neither you nor Xiao Dalang are her opponents......"
