Shu Li had an idea in her mind about the constant restarting of this dungeon.

However, Shuli suppressed her nausea and continued reading.

Shu Li looked very familiar to those things that Protector Jing was talking about.

Although those things were in dilapidated condition, Shu Li still recognized several things that she had seen in Shu Luo's home.

So, are those things really the props here?

But these props are basically in dilapidated condition, and the scratches on the objects themselves are still very clear, so they must no longer be used.

Shu Li turned around in a daze, leaning against the window sill and lost in thought.

Her mind was in a mess now, she had a headache and was upset.

It was hard for her to believe that this high degree of overlap was a coincidence. There was definitely a connection between the two.

Secondly, if the above speculation is true, then why did Shu Luo save so much and still display it in reality.

Thirdly, if Shu Luo found someone to imitate them in reality after removing the copies, then why?

Shu Li thought of the box she carried home. If the items before entering this instance were taken as hints, then the key to breaking the game was also in it.

The first one was the sedan chair, with the mournful and bloody cries inside, as well as those few words, accusing him of what he had done.

The second thing is that strange box and what's inside.

The box was as black as ink, and the thing inside was completely condensed, and there was still a faint whinnying.

Then there is the piece of cloth that can wrap the box but ignites spontaneously without fire.

Protector Jing on the side didn't know why, but he never spoke to interrupt her thinking.

The silence and loneliness around her gave Shuli enough space to think. She pondered for a long time, and she didn't suddenly come back to her senses until the footsteps outside approached.

Before she could say anything more, Shu Li urged: "Hurry up and lie down."

Protector Jing looked confused, but because of the approaching footsteps, he still listened to her and lay down.

Shu Li tightened her sleeves to facilitate movement, and hid behind the door again.

But a few seconds later, the appearance of the visitor came into Shu Li's eyes.

After seeing the person's appearance clearly, a shocking idea appeared in Shu Li's mind. She looked back in disbelief at Protector Jing, who was pretending to be dead with his eyes closed, with an incomprehensible look in his eyes.

Half an hour later, Shu Li returned to the night residence, washed her hands with the water in the room, and poured the basin of changed color water down the window near the cliff.

Shu Li held the basin and looked down. Some water drifted down the wind, leaving red spots on a small part of the rocks.

She looked calm and turned to wash up. After that, she had a good night's sleep.

The next day was September 17th, at exactly 10 o'clock in the morning, a shrill scream spread throughout Jingfeng Tower.

A corpse hung swaying in front of the plaque of Qi Louzhu Yaoju, greeting everyone.

Ten minutes later, all NPCs disappeared, leaving only a few players who participated in this instance and a few NPCs who needed to provide testimony.

The announcement on the panel sounded unbridled and resounded throughout the surrounding area.

[Good morning, everyone, it’s 9 o’clock on September 17th, which is five o’clock in the morning. To facilitate timing, modern time timing and reminders will be used next. 】

[First of all, congratulations to all the players for finally getting out of the cycle of infinite restarts. The number of deaths this time is one, and no one has triggered the restart conditions. 】

[At 5 o'clock in the morning, a murder occurred in Jingfeng Building. The deceased, Protector Jing, was hung in front of the main building of Qi Building, and major suspects also arrived one after another. 】

[Friendly reminder, the death scene and the crime scene are not the same place, please explore carefully and try your best to find the real murderer! 】

[This dungeon is a limited time exploration, please come back here after three hours to complete the voting! 】

[I wish all players a happy game! 】

After the broadcast ended, the panel showed the map of this instance.

The area inside the building is near the residences of the five players, the medicine house, the treasure house and the wine cellar.

Outside the building are two places: Flower Valley and Medicine Valley.

In the rest of the places, there is just a shape, but no annotation information.

Elder Feng and Master Qi found a way to put Protector Jing down, and they all decided to see the body first.

Protector Jing's face was pale, and his forehead seemed to have been smashed by something, with brown blood stains on it.

His lips were also pale and colorless, which ruled out the possibility of poisoning in the first place.

There was a trace of a hemp rope being strangled around his neck, but it looked like it had been strangled after death.

Then there was a stab wound on his heart, with a lot of blood.

There are also a lot of blood-red traces on the hair on the back of his head and on his back, but they are slightly different from the blood on his chest.

After reading this, several people dispersed and searched Yaoju up and down.

Shu Li was assigned to the first floor and searched everything quickly.

Nothing like a murder weapon was found on the first floor, just some ordinary things like ornaments and books.

Because of what Protector Jing said before, Shuli carefully looked through the books, but there was no information left in the previous rounds.

After she searched the place, the people upstairs had not yet come down, so Shu Li went up to the second floor to see where the Protector Jing was hung just now.

The hemp rope was tied to the pillars on the second floor, and a layer of paint had been peeled off the vermilion wood.

There is half a handprint left on the plaque, as if the real murderer failed to hold on and lost the strength of his hand.

Apart from that, there is nothing else.

A few minutes later, several people searched all over Yaoju, and first had a small discussion on the second floor.

The Jade Saint was the first to point her finger at Elder Feng: "Is it you? You have always been dissatisfied with the fact that Master Qi relied on the protection of Protector Youjing to go against you, and you were rejected over and over again after trying to woo you. So you harbored a grudge, and just wanted to seize power. First kill Lord Qi’s arm to help.”

Elder Feng immediately declined: "How could it be me? Protector Jing has great martial arts skills and is always on guard against me. How could I kill him without alerting anyone?"

"So, this must have been done by someone who was unsuspecting."

Elder Feng stabbed the Jade Saint and Shu Li with suspicious arrows.

There is no other reason. Protector Jing is the helper of Louzhu Qi.

Master Qi would definitely not cut off his arm. Those who were not protected were two women who were much weaker than Protector Jing.

"The identity of Bride Night is currently open to question, but she just arrived yesterday. I am more suspicious of you, the Jade Saint, than her."

"Okay, let's stop for a moment." Louzhu Qi frowned and said, "Let's talk about our respective timelines and what we found first."

The unnecessary quarrel was indeed meaningless. Elder Feng and the Jade Saint paused and fell silent.

Upon seeing this, Master Qi looked at Shu Li and made a helpless expression: "Then I'll do it first."
