[The "murderer" walked through the smoke, and a pair of dark armor like a general appeared on his body...]
"It seems like it's almost done?"
At the other end of the hospital corridor, Wang Zhongnan crushed a squirming tentacle with his foot. He was holding a cross sword in his hand and looked slightly tired.
"Has anyone been rescued?" Ning Yeyi raised his head and asked.
"Yang Cai and Lu Jiangyang are both alive and almost dead. I didn't expect it to be so dangerous here... Although it's a bit awkward, thank you very much."
"If a Taoist accepts help from ghosts, you are considered enlightened." Ning Yeyi smiled slightly, "In this case, the two of them can be protected, right?"
"The rescue team is right outside the hospital. Unfortunately, the incident happened suddenly and I didn't have time to call the action team members over. What are you looking at?"
"Solitaire, I'm probably stimulated by the dead people in the past. Now everyone is working hard to write. It's our turn to slow down the pace quickly. It's the most important thing." Ning Yeyi shook his phone, "Wang Zhongnan, you might as well take a look. Yeah, the paragraph just now was uploaded by Yan Meng. In the story, after I rushed into the thick smoke, things probably didn’t look good.”
"You still have the mind to care about you in the story. Now there are four major prisons in the city. We still don't know who the murderer is. If we can catch the murderer, maybe many things can be solved."
"...I don't think so, but the circle of murderers is already very small, right? Yang Cai and Lu Jiangyang have been trapped in the hospital, and the surviving Xin Mi testified for us that they have no time to act as murderers - although It is said that Lu Jiangyang is the murderer in the story, but reality is not the same as the story, you are dead in the story."
"Ah, I know."
"Then exclude you and me. My abilities were acquired later. You should also be able to identify me, right? Naturally, you are not a detective. People who have died are excluded, and people who have been verified by yourself are excluded. The remaining murderers are Fang Zhijie, Chen Hang, Zhou Shilan, Qi Xugang, Tian Yang, Xue Qiaodi, Zhang Xinqing, and Min Feng whose whereabouts are unknown, plus Yan Zidan and Sun Shengxi, who have no alibi for a long time."
"Ha... But there must be a lot of people there." Wang Zhongnan said with some distress, "And you said that the whereabouts are unknown. Even if we lock in who it is, we can't find the person. We don't have the kind of precise fortune-telling means. ah."
"I do." Ning Yeyi said.
"No, Li Wenyue, I remember you are just an ordinary person. Even if you master the poker circus, you won't be able to do it all at once..."
"Ghost abilities are basically innate. I am the leader. Even if I don't know how to do it myself, I can also find a way for my ghosts to learn it." Ning Yeyi smiled, "Don't you think that you, a righteous person, are always being treated like this by me?" Will the leader of ghosts and ghosts help embarrass people?"
"Where is it?" Wang Zhongnan waved his hands repeatedly, "Okay, if we can find someone to solve it, how can we deduce who the murderer is?"
"At this time, the person who didn't show up should be the most suspicious. Since you found out that the president is dead, you should also launch relevant investigations, right? Who is behind the scenes?"
"... Ruilong Group hopes to reduce the living space of Panggou Group in Gengwu City. Everything happening here today is probably caused by the internal fighting between the two groups. Of course, the main reason is that Ruilong Group was originally in Gengwu City had a long-term Feng Shui plan that lasted about thirty years, but this plan was greatly disrupted by the Panggou Group's later seizure of the market."
"Okay, let Mr. Detective follow this clue to investigate. Most of the missing people used different methods to hide their identities in order to investigate the secret research of the two major groups, and our involvement is probably related to this. Then - —”
Ning Yeyi was stunned for a moment mid-sentence. She raised her hand and felt that some kind of tight restraint on her body was cut off.
"What's wrong?"
"No...it's nothing. Then, as long as you find someone who is not present among our classmates, he will probably be the murderer you are looking for."
"Understood." Wang Zhongnan nodded, "As for you, I'll just pretend I didn't see it this time. This circus is indeed a very dangerous thing. I hope you have a way to deal with it after everything is over. Otherwise. ...You will definitely be wanted by the special team in the future."
"I know."
Wang Zhongnan forced a smile, probably knowing that it would be difficult to cooperate with Ning Yeyi again in the future. Ning Yeyi called to the clowns and other ghosts who were eating around him, and left the hospital with the help of the colorful light from the circus.
It was not him who cut off the connection, Ning Yeyi knew very well. She found a rooftop and sat down, looking at the alienated Gengwu City - Ruilong Group's counterattack was simply crazy. Even if they could seize control of Gengwu City, how could they restore the city to its normal state? What about the state of prosperity?
When people go crazy, they are even afraid of ghosts.
"Master Leader! The people in this city need to be appeased. Let's hold a grand performance here!" The clown screamed beside him.
"You haven't eaten enough just now? The monsters in the prison projection are real, right? How about I take you to visit another one?" Ning Yeyi raised his eyebrows and glanced at the clown, "If you don't know what's going on in Gengwu City now? You might as well go and see for yourself how mixed the fish and dragons are, but performances are strictly prohibited. I don’t want to focus the firepower on us at this stall.”
"Listen to...the leader!" Mr. Top Hat said quickly, "There are too many people in the city who don't like to laugh. Even we are a little busy. Hahaha."
"Next... we also have to visit Ruilong Group. They probably won't let their headquarters really be located in Gengwu City, and will go to their new development park. Prepare for the transfer of the circus. Maybe that's where we will achieve the greatest success. A place of harvest.”
Someone had to die.

"People in two worlds can only live one."
Lu Ning sat on the rooftop of the building, watching the morning light slowly infiltrating the sky from below the horizon.
"Oops... luckily there are some smart people left until the end."
There were many people not far behind her... No, it should be said that many ghosts were still there. One of them, a man with a long beard, chuckled.
These people are the dead—tourists who are not quite dead, to be precise.
Everyone has returned to their original appearance, and now that they have arrived at a place that is completely equivalent to a waiting room, there is nothing they can do to affect the scene. The man with the long beard was the one who left a message in the Solitaire story and played the role of "Sun Shengxi" from the same world as Lu Ning.
This is what the "survival" mentioned in the distribution center mission means. The definition of death in the scene will change according to the scene. Lu Ning learned from Cheng Wuling that in the scene where the two met for the first time, there was a reward that allowed everyone to be resurrected even if they died in the scene after completing the camp mission. .
The scene is the same this time. As long as no one in the same world on both sides is dead, the tourists will not be judged dead. But if unfortunately both parties have died... then the corresponding tourists will also disappear from this area, which is true death. This matter has been proved by Tian Yang's death before. According to the mutual confirmation of tourists who appeared here, if the world where Lu Ning lives is A, and the world she narrates in the story is B, Tian Yang in world B should have died soon after his disappearance.
The time sequence of the two worlds is also quite serious. The progress of Solitaire story and the actual development of time are completely different. The overall speed of Solitaire in World B is relatively high. While they are constantly advancing the rhythm of the story, they are also taking the initiative to explore the surrounding ghost legends. Many legends were written into the story without knowing it at first, that is, It was reflected in World A where Lu Ning was. Among them, there are many stories about Xu Tong and Tian Yang being connected. This is probably why these two people are miserable.
But relatively speaking, the murderer of world B, Zhang Xinqing, is more powerful. Shi Danong and Ye Qin, who are still here in world B, were intercepted and killed by Zhang Xinqing. At that time, they had mastered many ghost weapons, but Still couldn't stop Zhang Xinqing's ferocious offensive.
"So now... who else is alive in both worlds?" A young man with a somewhat sad expression counted on his fingers, "Qi Xugang, Lu Jiangyang, Fan Qi, Xu Tong, Zhang Xinqing, Xue Qiaodi, Zhou Shilan, Yan Zidan. "
"Where is Tang Haiyao?" someone asked.
"In our world, she would have died if she didn't escape from Secret City." "Ye Qin" from world B said, "The Poker Circus didn't touch her, but Secret City is also a ghost base, and she has been exposed to so much evil alone. I’m so angry, I’m sure I won’t survive without protection.”
Lu Ning guessed that this part was the way she asked her world Tang Haiyao to die for her.
"Both detectives are dead on one side, and two murderers are alive on both sides."
"There's no way. After all, the murderer is hiding, and our two worlds can't give each other hints. The rules are locked. Even if someone realizes that we are at the narrative level, there is no way to really affect this cross-narrative. Li Wenyue finally knew how to give another It’s already the limit for the world to open some doors of convenience.”
It should be said that they are worthy of being upgraded tourists. Even if they die, they still calmly discuss the world in front of them, and even review it with great interest. They don't seem to put aside the fact that the other self will disappear after death. In the heart.
"How many tourists are there here?"
"Zhang Xinqing must be a tourist. The behavior on both sides is quite ruthless."
"Where's Yan Zidan? She's doing well..."
"One world is following Li Wenyue almost the whole time. Although the other world is investigating alone, it lacks specific purpose. Overall, the probability of tourists is not high."
"Fan Qi... is quite stubborn in both worlds, from beginning to end. Although he was the one who exposed the fact that the president was dead, he didn't do anything serious other than this..."
"If a tourist behaves like this, he really doesn't want to be promoted."
Lu Ning was speechless. She originally thought that the world after death would be a bit gloomier, or there might be something more special, but the woman in black just brought her here and then disappeared. After that, she got to know these guys as if they were watching a movie.
"Li Wenyue, you really don't want to come and see us together? It feels good not to have to work so hard anymore, and you can also complain about it. Don't you care if something goes wrong with you in another world?" "Fang Zhijie" said with great interest Waved to Lu Ning.
"There's nothing I can do if she can't last until the end despite her BUFF." Lu Ning shook her head and stood up helplessly. The people here still use the names in the scene. After all, there will be no duplicate people in this place. It's just a matter of distinguishing which world they come from.
"Hey, those of us who left early only have this little fun left." Shi Danong shrugged, "It's too early to die."
"Okay, I have some questions to ask you... Min Feng, you are a tourist, why did you jump off the building so early?" Lu Ning glanced at the girl wearing glasses next to her. The tourist's shortsightedness and other problems have been repaired, and wearing glasses is probably just her personal habit.
"I'm done with it." Min Feng said with a slight embarrassment, "I think those apps are important elements for solving puzzles. I wanted to take some risks to get some key clues, so I downloaded a few with the scariest names, and then the ghosts around me... It’s so noisy that I can’t escape..."
"This is an upgrade, you should take it seriously!" Fang Zhijie complained loudly.
"No, you are from the same world as me. I don't know how you died from the beginning to the end." Lu Ning glanced at Fang Zhijie.
"I just accidentally got tricked by a ghost on the way to investigate."
Sure enough, regardless of the behind-the-scenes mystery of the cross-narrative behind the scene, the ghosts and ghosts that both sides added to each other's world were enough to kill some unprepared tourists.
In contrast, Sun Shengxi was the kind of person who could travel a long way alone. To be fair, Lu Ning felt that he was much better than herself when traveling alone. He participated in "Vigil" and "Bai Li" and found out the truth behind it. However, because he fell into too deep and couldn't get back, he died after completing Solitaire and leaving a prompt. This part was very good for him. , and in terms of personal tasks, he even completed it more beautifully than Lu Ning.
"We can no longer affect the situation." Lu Ning sighed.
Sun Shengxi nodded, but immediately added: "The scene will always end. Someone must die. The two worlds are connected because of us. When our bond is completely severed, it should be the end of everything."
"Ha... That's what I said, but if you told me that this scene could end as long as half of us commit suicide at the beginning, I would definitely say you are crazy." Ye Qin sighed, "What harsh conditions... "
"If you really do that, you won't be able to advance. It depends on the settlement. If you really make enough contributions, then there is no problem even if you die. After all, survival is just an optional task." Sun Shengxi comforted him.
Lu Ning stuffed her hands into her pockets and quietly waited for the last moment to arrive.
