Cheng Ye turned around and looked at Old Man Chen's house. The extra person was his father.
His father is long dead.
Cheng Ye looked at the coffin-like room and suddenly understood why it had no windows.
This is a house for dead people.
…
On the second day, the morning light was dim.
Everyone came early by chance.
The five people stood in the small square just like the first day.
However, no one was the first to speak.
Lu Hoan looked at Cheng Ye with interest, as if he was expecting something.
But Cheng Ye didn't say a word.
After a long time, Hooligan Lu yawned and said, "Are you here to play with one-two-three wooden figures..."
Still no one spoke.
Lu Hooligan finally got tired of waiting and waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it. I originally wanted to come to the show, but it turned out there was nothing. It was a waste of time..."
But he just walked out for a minute.
Cheng Ye said directly to the old bachelor: "You lied to us yesterday."
Lu Hooligan raised his feet in the air and raised his ears.
Yang Cunhua and his wide-mouthed eyes instantly moved to the old bachelor.
The old bachelor quickly retorted: "No, no, how could I lie to you."
"Stealing the underwear was a smoke bomb you deliberately set off." Cheng Ye looked at the old bachelor and said calmly: "It has nothing to do with the main mission."
"You are too short of points, so you want us to not be able to pass the level, so that one person can get the most points by completing the level."
"What are you talking about!" the old bachelor said angrily: "This is a cooperative book!"
"Besides, it wasn't me who said the underwear was lost, and if no one stole the underwear, where did those underwear come from!?"
"Did I say no one stole underwear?" Cheng Ye said softly.
The old bachelor reacted immediately and his eyes widened.
"My memory is very good." Cheng Ye smiled and said slowly: "When we first suggested that this person might be a panty-stealing maniac, you subconsciously said it wasn't you."
"That's because you all look at me..." The old bachelor tried to resist.
"Because you stole underwear." Cheng Ye didn't give the old bachelor a chance to quibble.
"The reason why I know you lied to us is because a normal person, such as Zhang Mou, would obviously find clues but didn't want us to know, so she lied and said she checked the room, but there were no clues."
"A thousand-year-old fox has downloaded many copies. How could he make such a low-level mistake?"
"You checked the room and so did she."
The old bachelor struggled desperately: "No, I really didn't. As you all know, I only gambled on the dungeon because I was in debt. I was completely absent-minded. How could I be in the mood to check the room..."
Cheng Ye sneered, without any warmth in his eyes: "You can't wait for us to go to your house and search the underwear you have prepared long ago, just to make us more sure that the story you speculated is true."
"But actually-"
Cheng Ye looked at the old bachelor and said slowly: "You noticed something was wrong on the first day. There is one more person in this copy, which does not mean there is one more person."
The old bachelor's originally calm face became panicked.
"Rather, someone in the village was replaced."
"He's going to do something different than he did before."
Cheng Ye stared at the old bachelor and said word by word: "Only when he replaces someone will the people in the village feel like there are more people but they don't know who it is."
NPCs can deceive people, but system announcements cannot.
To make the villagers feel that there is an extra person, it will definitely not be as simple as the lights suddenly being turned off, the door being locked, or things being moved.
But I really feel that there is an extra person beside me.
"You already knew this, so you misled us. You wanted us to fly around like headless flies in the wrong direction."
His mouth opened wide and his eyes suddenly widened.
Not only did she get an important piece of news, but it was also because she thought that Liu Miaomiao had to accompany her by herself in the past few days.
She looked at the old bachelor's face again.
So Liu Miaomiao was so scared because she had seen herself with the pants-stealing maniac.
She actually wanted to protect herself.
The old bachelor suddenly laughed and asked: "What you said is very exciting, but when we first met, I opened my mouth and said that the villagers said that the underwear was stolen. How did I steal the underwear before that?" ?”
"Because the game is fair."
Cheng Ye was very calm: "Everyone will have a clue."
"I have it, Yang Cunhua has it, Zhang Dazui has it, Lu Gang has it, so you must have it too."
"Let me guess." Cheng Ye continued: "You have a clue that none of us have."
"You probably entered the instance two hours earlier than us."
"So you searched the village earlier than us and learned the truth. You knew that the extra person meant that a certain villager had been replaced."
"In order to get more points, you spent some time stealing women's panties and stuffing them under your bed."
"You even thought about why this happened, but you only missed me."
"It's precisely because you missed me that I felt something was wrong. I think the game must be fair and aesthetic."
"Wouldn't give such a rough story."
The old bachelor didn't speak after being exposed. He just stared at Cheng Ye, and then chuckled: "So what, what if I misled you?"
Cheng Ye smiled.
"The reason why I asked you again yesterday if you didn't check the room was to confirm this."
"The whole thing about stealing underwear is to distract us from what is really important."
"For example: why are there so few people in the village."
"I only thought of it when I saw the checklist given by hooligan Lu and the news he said his brother had disappeared."
I also saw Old Man Chen killing someone with my own eyes.
But Cheng Ye didn't say this.
He is bound to win both the side missions and the main missions.
His mind began to construct all the clues he had collected over the past few days.
His father was replaced by someone else, so he started killing people everywhere.
He became very strange, and maybe even he didn't know that he had been replaced.
That's why when in front of him, he is still the father who loves his son.
But secretly, he became a murderer.
But this still didn't make sense, until Yang Cunhua brought her branch line.
Yang Cunhua is a tutor for several left-behind children in the village.
This is her hidden identity.
She went to school, was educated, and could barely help students.
One of her students has been absent from school for a long time.
The night her daughter was killed, she went to investigate the student and discovered the disappearance.
That student is Lu Hooligan No. 2.
The next day, she discovered multiple wounds on her daughter's body earlier than Cheng Ye did, and also discovered that the kidney hidden under the wounds had been removed.
Those messy, sharp knife wounds were not for revenge, but to cover up the traces of organ harvesting.
Cheng Ye instantly understood why his father became like this.
There is an industrial chain in this village that has been illegally selling organs, and all the young people in the village are doing this.
Old man Chen probably didn't participate at first, until he was replaced by an evil spirit.
This wronged soul was the younger brother of Lu Hooligan who later disappeared.
It started from the day when Old Man Chen was replaced.
He becomes neither human nor ghost.
One is a father who loves his son, and the other is a murderous demon.
He couldn't tell the difference himself.
