Cheng Miao was in the hall and knew something was wrong when he saw Qi Jiajia coming in with a sullen face.
Qiudong stayed in the lobby and waited. Cheng Miao came to the warehouse with Qi Jiajia, Qin Musong, He Ming's teammate Bai Hao, Zhao Zhi who was basking in the sun outside after cooking, and Tao Lei who wanted to follow and see what happened.
Now the warehouse is dark, both lights are broken.
Zhao Zhi and Tao Lei stood back and said nothing, but their meaning was very clear.
The situation is unclear now and they are unwilling to go in.
Cheng Miao also felt that it was not safe to go in all at once. Bai Hao now knew that his teammates were dead, and his face was ugly and defeated.
But he wanted to know how his teammates died.
On the way here, Qi Jiajia had already told everyone what happened just now, and He Ming's reaction was not slow.
But why did he die anyway?
Cheng Miao did not let anyone else follow her, and she also rejected Qin Musong's suggestion to go. She held the Kun bone dagger in one hand and a lantern in the other. She asked Xiao Xiaolin to hold the two brand new light bulbs, and led Xiao Xiaolin into the warehouse alone.
There is no one in the warehouse all year round, and the temperature is lower than outside.
Cheng Miao stood in the darkness for a while holding the lantern. When nothing happened, she walked inside.
The door of the warehouse was open, and the sunlight could only shine in a little, and then it was swallowed up by darkness.
The ceiling of the warehouse is not high, so Cheng Miao used a lantern to illuminate it, and with Xiao Xiaolin's safety helmet, he easily found the location of the light bulb.
To change a light bulb, you have to have one hand free.
You can't throw away the lantern. Even if Xiao Lin is sitting with a lantern on his shoulder, Cheng Miao doesn't want to put the lantern away.
Among other things, it can offset one damage.
She put the Kun Bone Dagger back into her backpack, took the light bulb from Xiao Lin, and quickly replaced it.
When the light bulb came on, Cheng Miao realized that his back was wet with cold sweat.
A light came on, illuminating most of the warehouse and relaxing Cheng Miao's tense nerves.
The bright lights were from outside, and He Ming's body was deep in the warehouse, still hidden in the darkness.
Seeing that the lights were on and other people standing outside also came in, Cheng Miao made a strong effort and walked into the darkness with a lantern.
The sound of his own heartbeat was in his ears, which was particularly obvious in the warehouse.
"Buzz"
Another light also came on, and Cheng Miao breathed a sigh of relief, put away the lantern, and Qi Jiajia ran to her side.
Everyone looked at He Ming's body.
He Ming was half leaning against the corner, his legs paralyzed on the ground.
He looked horrified and confused, as if he didn't know what had hit him until he died.
Qin Musong knelt down and looked at the body, then waved for Cheng Miao to come over and take a look.
"The corpse's face was swollen, the lips were blue, and the nails were cyanotic, indicating strangulation."
Qin Musong opened He Ming's eyes, "There were reddish-brown spot-like bleeding under the conjunctival membrane of the eye, and there were bleeding spots on the skin of the neck. These are typical characteristics of a strangled corpse."
Cheng Miao wrote it down carefully. She watched Qin Musong close He Ming's eyelids again and thought, "He Ming was strangled to death. This is for sure."
"But what is it?"
Qi Jiajia added next to Cheng Miao, "The warehouse was very quiet. There was only He Ming's flashlight on the ground at that time. You also know my senses. I didn't hear the sound of anything moving."
"What do you mean..." Cheng Miao narrowed his eyes slightly.
Qi Jiajia nodded, "He Ming should have been dragged over, but there was no sound of him being dragged."
Cheng Miao's expression darkened, "Then there may be two situations."
"One is that this thing can create an independent space so that people inside and outside the space cannot sense each other."
"What about the other situation?" Although He Ming's body was not bloody, it still looked shocking in the dimly lit warehouse.
Tao Lei didn't dare to get too close, she stood not far away and asked.
Cheng Miao raised his head and looked at the top of the empty warehouse. "Another situation is that He Ming was not dragged from the ground."
It was an ordinary sentence, but it gave everyone present goosebumps.
Bai Hao's eyes turned red in silence from the moment he saw He Ming's body.
Qin Musong patted his shoulder. This really could only mean that He Ming was unlucky.
In the current situation where there are no clues or rules, even if it was Cheng Miao who was in the warehouse just now, there is no guarantee that he can escape unscathed without the assistance of props.
What's more, He Ming has done everything he can. He took out the flashlight as quickly as possible and heard Qi Jiajia say that he was interested in coming to Qi Jiajia to figure out a solution together.
Unfortunately, it's a step too late.
Qi Jiajia went to Aunt Jiang to report He Ming's death, while Cheng Miao returned to the community hall to think about the cause of He Ming's death.
The only difference between him and Qi Jiajia may be that Qi Jiajia is carrying a lantern.
Could it be that the IQ of this instance's boss is not low?
Knowing that Qi Jiajia has many props in hand, even if she violates the rules, she will not be hurt at all, so she turns to attack He Ming?
this……
This situation of picking up soft persimmons and pinching them seems to be uncommon.
In any case, it can only be counted as a possibility first.
When he came back for lunch at noon, Feng Shu sat next to Qi Jiajia and took out a piece of white paper from his pocket.
She got this from the community hall in the morning before she went to clean the community. It had a rough layout of the community drawn on it.
The community is in a square shape, with two residential buildings in each corner, a community center in the middle, and behind the community center are the dormitories and canteens where players live.
There is a gate in front of the community center. This time, the players are not stupid. No one hangs near the gate even if they know they can't get out.
Not far away is the warehouse.
Each building has 5 floors and 2 households on each floor, so there should be about 80 people in the entire community.
Add to that the 20 people they live in the community center dormitories, and that's 100 people.
The orphanage was outside the square. Feng Shu saw it from a distance. It was a house with a white roof.
But it looks like no one lives there.
Cheng Miao nodded and wrote down these points. She was now in the community hall and could ask someone if she had the chance.
Cheng Miao asked Qi Jiajia again.
Qi Jiajia was nibbling steamed buns and eating cauliflower.
Everything you eat is made by the players, and the taste and level depend on luck.
Today's dish was not very tasty. The meat was cut into different thicknesses, and some were not yet cooked.
But the quality of the players this time was pretty good, and there were no newcomers who had only passed a few dungeons, so no one complained.
These are just tasks assigned to players, not something they owe you.
"Aunt Jiang didn't say anything. She just sighed and said that every time those who come out of the orphanage are not used to life in the community, there will always be one or two accidents."
Qi Jiajia turned over a piece of meat and swallowed it with a steamed bun. "I didn't even ask what was going on, but she turned against the guests. She told me that we must abide by the rules in the orphanage. People who don't remember it well will get into trouble."
Qi Jiajia finished the last small piece and clapped her hands, "Now that's the point. If I ask again, I will be exposed and will be punished by the copy."
