If the guest character colludes with the killer character, this is cheating and will be directly eliminated! But no!
Could it be...could it be that No. 3 was knocked unconscious by No. 5, or was he subdued?
But how is this possible? Isn’t it said that the guest is bound to lose in a one-on-one confrontation with the killer?
No. 1 had already taken the lock and wanted to lock room No. 5, but was stopped by No. 8.
"No, no need for confinement locks."
No. 8 was very strong and took the confinement lock directly from No. 1's hand. No. 1's strength was completely unable to compete with it.
With a bang, the heavy lock was thrown onto the smooth, mirror-like tabletop.
“Let’s all calm down and let me open the door and I will come out and speak clearly.
"But time is a bit tight. We only had fifteen minutes, and now we only have ten left."
Meng Fei said to the outside through the door.
"Everyone just sit down in your chairs obediently."
The bright light from the chandelier on the ceiling illuminated No. 8's head. His tall body cast a long shadow on the ground.
He waved his fist and continued the order in his bass-like voice.
"No one should act rashly. There are four people outside here, at least three of them are not killers. There are also two people in the room.
"If we take action, the killer has absolutely no chance of winning. So everyone just sit back and relax in your chairs.
"As for why No. 3 killed No. 2 and No. 4, and who is the real killer, No. 5 will give everyone a clear explanation."
Intimidated by his powerful aura, everyone sat down uncomfortably.
Then they saw the door to Room 5 creak open. No. 5 walked out first, followed by No. 3 with a strange expression.
The girl's face turned red and she seemed very embarrassed. I wanted to speak several times, but I swallowed it back.
Finally she found a seat and sat down without saying a word. The two people next to her felt their scalps tighten and immediately stood up and moved a step away.
Meng Fei sat down unceremoniously on the seat they gave up next to No. 3, and then put the alarm clock in his hand in front of everyone.
The clock showed 8:20, and it was only 35 minutes before the game started. The next dark time will be at 8:30.
He really wanted to say that classic line again: "The criminals are among you!"
It's a pity that this is Shayou, and this line has become meaningless.
Time is tight, so it’s better to keep the story short. Meng Fei looked at everyone present with his classic detective eyes.
Everyone's expressions don't matter. Because the real murderer is already under his control. Even if the acting god comes, he still can't escape.
"It is true that No. 3 took advantage of the first darkness to kill No. 4, and then took advantage of the second darkness to kill No. 2 who lived with her.
"But I think No. 3 is not a killer. If we deal with No. 3 because of this, it will play into the hands of the real killer."
His words almost stunned everyone, and the atmosphere at the scene became very ridiculous. Only No. 1 sneered and said:
"That means No. 3 thinks she is a killer, but you think she is not. I really want to know, what is your reason?"
No. 1 is a young man of short stature, slightly bald, with a rather ordinary square face, and a slight potbelly.
While he sneered, his eyes flickered a little uneasily.
"Of course there is a reason.
"After I entered this game, there were two things in particular that made me feel strange."
Whenever Meng Fei has that uncoordinated and weird feeling, he can often catch those vague clues.
“The first one is, before I entered the game, I clearly saw that the clock was 7:15.
"But after a brief opening, I woke up in the game and it was 7:45.
“I feel like it shouldn’t take more than a minute from the time I lay down in the sleep pod and go into the opening sequence to when I wake up in the villa.
"Where did the remaining nearly half an hour go?"
"Either the clock here is not the real time, or the game took dozens of minutes longer to load data and adjust the player's consciousness. Is there anything strange about this? You are too neurotic."
No. 1 turned on the taunt mode.
"Based on my professional evaluation of game development, the data loading time of this game should never exceed 10 seconds."
Meng Fei was an expert on this before and after time travel.
“In addition, although I have not played this kind of immersive virtual game, I understand the process safety measures of game access awareness.
“It does take some time for consciousness to adjust to the server, but it won’t take more than 5 seconds.
"Once it exceeds 10 seconds, it means there is a problem with the adaptation of the consciousness and the server, and a system alarm will be triggered and the connection will be automatically disconnected."
“If the time in the game is different from the real world, then the date, morning, afternoon, and clock on the alarm clock are all the same as in reality. The only difference between the minutes and minutes is twenty minutes, which is too strange.
“But this can be explained by thinking about the first few sentences in the opening remarks.
"The killer is the first to come to his own territory.
"Lay an evil trap to wait for seven guests to arrive.
"The meaning of these two reminders is that the killer is the first to arrive at the game scene and will make certain arrangements for the game scene.
"If I guessed correctly, the killer entered the game scene first at 7:15, and it wasn't until close to 7:45 that the killer completed the layout.
"In the meantime, other players cannot enter the game, so the system keeps other players in an unconscious sleep state."
"The killer spent almost 30 minutes setting it up in advance?"
Asked No. 7, who rarely speaks.
"Yes.
"This is a game, not gambling, and the killer must have space to lay out a reasonable strategy."
Meng Fei actually considered the balance of this game from the beginning. How can the killer find a sure way to win for himself?
"There is only one killer, and killing requires physical combat. Once you expose yourself, you will never have a chance again.
"So he must make some arrangements in advance to confuse the guests' minds, so that he can have a chance to win through strategy."
"Haha, what arrangement can he make in such a simple scene?" No. 1 sneered.
"That's the second strange thing about it."
Meng Fei dropped a bunch of sticky notes on the table.
"I wonder why there is a stack of sticky notes for everyone in the game?
"I can understand the alarm clock for timing. Others such as chairs and tables are necessary.
"After all, if the game doesn't even have chairs, everyone will have to stand and play. Then the experience will be too bad."
But then Meng Fei raised the most critical question:
“But what are sticky notes for?”
