You can say that these three people are paranoid, you can say that these three people are hypocritical, and you can even say that these three people are cowardly and unwilling to face reality, but it is extremely ridiculous to put these three people on the judgment pillar because of this.

Chen Miao didn't reply, just stood here and waited patiently, and after taking a deep breath of the cigarette in his hand, he felt the rustle of slight footsteps around him, and then said softly.

"That's why you make so much noise at night because you're worried that someone will find them at night."

"Hmm."

The village chief walked out of the darkness with a cane in a thin coat at some point, looked at the three people on the high platform with a complicated face, and said hoarsely: "I'm glad that you haven't been tricked by them to untie their ropes. ”

"The three of them are in a state of coma during the day, and they will only wake up after nightfall, and at this time they will use their voices to trick the people around them into untying the rope for them, this rope has a special power, with their own ability, they cannot open it under any circumstances, and must rely on external forces."

"I did this to keep people out of contact with them after dark, and that's all I could do."

"What happens when you untie the rope?"

Chen Miao asked softly with a calm face, his voice was very steady, like a spring breeze blowing on his face, making people feel extremely comfortable, in such an infiltrating environment, he seemed to have such a leader's temperament.

"What will happen?"

The village chief asked rhetorically, and then without waiting for Chen Miao to reply, he lowered his head and muttered to himself: "One of the three of them is a demon in disguise, and once the demon is free from the restriction of the rope, it will completely regain its strength, causing countless deaths." ”

"That's what tomorrow's noon judgment will mean."

"As long as the person who everyone thinks is a demon is executed, the remaining two people can be released, I have sorted out the past stories of these three, even if the demon is disguised as a human, but the demon's nature is cunning, greedy, selfish, afraid of death and other characters will not change, as long as according to the past stories of these three people, you can find the demon among them, this is also the task of you strangers tomorrow."

"Your vote will choose which one we execute tomorrow and release the other two."

"Whether you kill the demon or release the demon is up to your vote tomorrow."

"Really?"

Chen Miao paused for a moment and then continued: "Is it a joke that such a big matter is decided by voting? ”

"That's the fairest thing."

"Fairness doesn't necessarily mean right."

"Yes doesn't necessarily mean right, but at least it doesn't mean wrong."

"Yes." Chen Miao nodded and did not refute this sentence, but turned his head, carefully looked the village chief up and down, and continued: "Actually, there is no need to be so troublesome, since the three of them are now bound by the rope and cannot break free, then all three of them will be slaughtered." ”

"Whoever is the devil is solved."

"I think this method is the most convenient, what do you say?"

"Nope."

The village chief's face immediately became gloomy, and his voice was a little angry and said: "You are a demon mind, in order to kill a demon, let two normal people die because of it, this is a compromise with the demon!" ”

"We can die in battle with demons, but we must not die in compromises like demons!"

"We must vote to elect the real demon, and then put the real demon to death!"

"Hmm."

Chen Miao nodded, not angry, but calmly continued to speak: "But if we choose the wrong person, it means that thousands of people will die in the hands of the demon, right?" There will be more of those who will die. ”

"So what?"

"No matter how many people die, those people will die at the hands of demons, but if you kill all three of them indiscriminately now, that person will die at our hands!"

Chen Miao looked down at the time on his watch, and didn't intend to continue to say anything, but took out the Thomson submachine gun in his arms, walked straight to the high platform alone, and aimed the muzzle of the gun at the temple of a man whose face was bound by a rope with a face full of fear.

Looking at the village chief standing under the high platform, he chuckled.

Immediately after, without the slightest hesitation, slowly pulled the trigger.

With the piercing sound of gunfire suddenly resounding in the night, this young man, who had not had time to beg for mercy, tilted his head and stiffened his body, and countless blood and brains mixed together and exploded in midair.

Chen Miao did not stop moving, but carried the Thomson submachine gun, continued to walk to the next person, and also put the Thomson submachine gun against the other party's head, looked at the village chief who was full of anger but did not make any movement in the audience and said softly.

"How?"

"Are you just looking at it? Don't plan to make any moves? ”

"Aren't you going to use your ability to kill my teammates today to concoct me in the same way?"

"Oh yes, I forgot to mention that my memory is a bit bad, and the reason why you come up with so many pretending things to try to stop someone from wandering around the village after nightfall is because of these three people on this high platform."

"What's more, after nightfall, all your abilities are gone, and you become a naked ordinary person."

"Am I right?"

"Bang!!"

With the sound of gunfire again, Chen Miao shot a man again, and walked behind the next man again, and at this time, the strong man who was more than two meters tall strode from a distance at some point, and at the same time carried a god statue or something like that in his hand.

The village chief, who heard the footsteps behind him, subconsciously turned his head to look at the sound of footsteps behind him, and after seeing the idol in the hand of the strong man, he couldn't help but shout in horror and anger: "Put down the idol!! ”

"Whoa."

After Chen Miao shot the last man on the stage neatly, he jumped off the high platform with one hand in his pocket, put his arm around the village chief's shoulders and looked at the strong man and chuckled: "I forgot to tell you, when I decided to come to the high platform at night, I knew that you would definitely come with me." ”

"Since you're going to come and figure out the pretending events yourself, you're sure to have a way to see if we're going to leave the house."

"And when you come along, your house is empty."

"If I'm not mistaken, the reason why you don't want me to kill the three people on the stage is not because of your stubborn ideas, but because one of these three people is indeed a demon, and you are sharing each other's power with this demon."

"You have demonic powers during the day, and you will become mortal again at night."

"And now you want to find the demon who shares your power with and kill it, so that you can use the demon's power both night and day."
