"Then, the other suspect, please come out on his own? At most, he will be locked up for one round, just in time to prove his innocence."
"All right."
No. 6, who has never spoken much, is a quite elegant man. "I was the other person who was sitting next to No. 4. I admit that I am also suspected. But I think No. 7 is also very suspicious."
"Why?" asked No. 8.
"Because the door of room 7 is right next to my room.
"Shortly after No. 4 screamed, I ran back to my room, and then I listened to the noise at the door.
"But I feel that No. 7 went back to his room very late. Could it be that he is a killer, so he went back later than ordinary people?"
"Um."
No. 8 nodded.
"I also noticed this. I also listened carefully to the movement at the door of the room. I must have returned on the 7th much later than on the 1st."
"Does anyone else have any suspicion?"
No. 3 looked at everyone. This time no one spoke.
"If that's the case, it's easy."
Girl No. 3 began to tell her analysis.
“This time, No. 5 and No. 6 were the most suspected, and No. 7 was also suspected.
"But No. 5 blew himself up first, so I think the suspect No. 5 has been ruled out a little bit. The suspicions of No. 7 and No. 6 are evenly matched."
No. 7 is a short, kind-faced young man. When he was told this, he showed an embarrassed and aggrieved expression:
"It's unfair. I was just in a panic and went in the wrong direction, so I was the last one to return to the room."
"How do you know you're the last one? Could it be that you can see in the dark?"
No. 3 took the opportunity to launch a fierce offensive.
The feeble defense and increasingly dark explanations made No. 7 extremely embarrassed.
No. 6 is a quiet and rational middle-aged man wearing glasses. He is silent and looks like he is at your disposal.
"So my suggestion is that in this round of darkness, No. 7 is the most suspect, followed by No. 6. I suggest that these two people live in the same room and put a lock on it so that they cannot come out to kill.
“If another murder occurs, the two of them will be eliminated as suspects, and we will be unlucky.
"If no murder occurs, keep them locked up until the end of the game.
"As for No. 5, there is also suspicion, but the suspicion is smaller. I suggest that he just live in a room alone.
"As for the remaining ones, I, No. 1, No. 2, and No. 8 are free to combine in pairs. The three of you will form first, and the remaining one will be mine.
"Anyone object?"
No. 3’s reasoning is impeccable. No. 8, who has always been in control but has been effectively sidelined, has no room for opposition.
Passed unanimously!
All that's left is to discuss how to combine the four numbers 3, 1, 2, and 8.
Meng Fei, number 5, is destined to live alone, so he is completely excluded from this discussion.
It is said to be a free combination, but in fact, No. 1 and No. 2, who have never been very active, choose the more reliable person from the two active members, No. 3 and No. 8, to stay in a room with them.
This is because it is generally believed that killers generally do not express themselves too actively. That would place too high demands on acting skills.
So 3 and 8 are more popular. As for 1 and 2, few people are willing to live together.
It is said that they live together, but in fact they just stay in the same room together for 15 seconds, so there is no embarrassing problem that it is inconvenient for opposite sexes to live together.
In the end, beauty No. 3 and strong-looking No. 2 lived together. The relatively weak No. 1 found the taller No. 8.
Everyone was assembled, and fifteen minutes was more than enough time. These people are getting nervous.
Before the decisive battle, everyone was no longer willing to chat openly. Everyone began to find players they trusted to join forces.
No. 2 and No. 3 ran into the room in advance and started discussing in a low voice how to resist the invading killer.
Even No. 5 Meng Fei, who planned to live alone, called No. 8, whom he considered the most reliable, possibly Li Huo, to room No. 5 for a private chat.
After a few minutes, everyone was in their places, and darkness came as expected.
Meng Fei lived alone in Room 5, playing with the sticky notes in his hand boredly.
He gave up all the methods he thought of, such as sticking sticky sticky notes on the soles of shoes.
Pointless. The game provides these props, but they are really not used for this.
After playing this game now, he found that this is actually a game where it is difficult for a killer to succeed.
There are just some obvious rules that the game should explain clearly first. For example, the lights in the living room will be turned off regularly.
If the explanation had been made clearly first, the incident where No. 4 was killed in the living room where the lights suddenly turned off would not have happened.
From then on, everyone lived in a room in pairs. The killer can kill at most one person who lives with him, but he will be exposed immediately.
People in other rooms would not hesitate to huddle up and lock him up or kill him.
The killer has absolutely no chance of killing four people. Even three is difficult, two is almost the limit.
But the strange thing is that only the opening remarks at the front of the post-it note have a vague explanation, and the private content at the back is not even mentioned.
Is the game deliberately blurring the rules to create opportunities for the killer?
No no no. He had already thought about this problem.
Secrets are always hidden in these irrational appearances!
There was a clattering sound at the tips of his fingers, counting each post-it note as skillfully as shuffling cards.
He has counted each stack of sticky notes multiple times.
The truth was already completely in his hands. The rest is just for him to grasp the opportunity.
"Why did the darkness last so long this time?"
The person who asked this was not Meng Fei, but No. 2 who lived in another room with No. 3.
No. 2 actually just looks strong, he is very timid by nature.
There is even a question as to whether his true identity is male or female. Because the game also confuses the gender of the player.
He had been deliberately keeping some distance from No. 3, staring directly at the stopwatch of the alarm clock.
It wasn't until 15 seconds passed that he relaxed.
"You are absolutely right!
"The killer should be one of No. 6 and No. 7, who was imprisoned. So no one died in this round of darkness! We will definitely win!"
After saying that, he opened the door quite naturally. I can finally sit in the living room with everyone and chat comfortably.
Just as No. 2 was walking towards the door, No. 3 stretched out a hand, and some kind of blue light gathered in her hand, quickly condensing into a black dagger about a foot long.
Exclusively for killers, the sword of assassination!
No. 2 opened the door, but was surprised to find that it was still dark outside?
An ominous feeling emerged from his heart, and he couldn't help asking:
"Why did the darkness last so long this time?"
"Because you don't understand the rules correctly."
No. 3 said softly.
