"Reason?" Xu Huo was not in a hurry to deny what he said.
"I have read all the reports and investigations about the head-decapitating devil. The head-decapitating devil's methods are very sophisticated. Most of the people are killed in one blow. There are no wounds except for the neck. The person who attacked me yesterday was very panicked and even I didn’t even choose the right time to strike.”
Huang Junjie seemed very confident, "In most murder cases, the deceased died quietly until they were discovered."
"There are still a few cases where the deceased's limbs were missing and there was a fierce fight before death. This is inconsistent with what you said." Xu Huo asked after listening.
"Imitation crimes." Huang Junjie said firmly: "There are too few such cases."
"If what you said is true, why did he choose you to be the first one?" Xu Huo said again: "I think Du Lanlan's side is easier to attack."
Huang Junjie looked regretful, "I shouldn't have faced Wan Zhikang yesterday."
If a player wants to use the identity of the Head-Decapitating Demon to kill other players, the easiest ones to succeed are indeed female players or white players, but there is an exception, that is, this person must die first.
It was precisely because he showed his hand that he was targeted.
"If the person who attacked me was fooled by the diary, the target tonight will be between you, me and Xia Guo." Huang Junjie issued an invitation, "How about the two of us join forces to catch him!"
Xu Huo chewed on his cigarette, "According to what you said, there is a head-decapitating demon in the villa. Maybe he will kill someone tonight too."
"Let's see who is out of luck." Huang Junjie shook his head.
The three of them talked and continued towards the wooden house.
"I went to the cabin, firstly, to lure out the person who attacked me, and secondly, to distance myself from other players. If no one is caught, I can also deduce the identity of this person from other people."
After Huang Junjie finished speaking, he asked: "What are you doing in the cabin?"
Yuan Yao shook his head and looked at Xu Huo.
Xu Huo stopped and pointed his chin at the man who had hung a rope and was standing on the pile of firewood. "I'll see if he hanged himself."
Huang Junjie and Yuan Yao's expressions changed, and they immediately went to stop them, but Xu Huo stopped them, "He will hang himself at night. Maybe he is possessed by a ghost. What if you go over and find your substitute instead? You are not NPCs in the villa will not be resurrected after death."
That's true.
The three of them did not approach the woodcutter, but walked around to the front of him. Xu Huo stood on the tree stump and raised his hand to greet him, "Hey, I'm hanging myself."
The woodcutter's eyes trembled, and he stretched his neck forward and hung on the tree.
Xu Huo just looked at it until he stopped moving with his hands and feet hanging down and then said: "You guys take it down. It's getting dark. I'll go to the wooden house to look for any lighting tools."
After a while, candles were lit in the wooden house, and the woodcutter's body was placed back on the bed.
Huang Junjie looked at the bright lights over the villa and said to himself: "It's not time yet..."
Behind him, Xu Huo turned over and inspected the woodcutter's body, then took a piece of hemp rope from the cabinet to tie the man into a rope, and held another shovel in his hand.
"Xu, Brother Xu, what are you doing?" Yuan Yao stared at the woodcutter's pants that were pulled down by Xu Huo but not completely pulled up, his voice trembling a little.
"I'm going to dig a hole." Xu Huo turned the shovel while still looking at the woodcutter. "Let's see if he can be resurrected even if he is buried in the soil."
Yuan Yao's smile was very forced, and Huang Junjie also had a complicated look on his face. He didn't understand why Xu Huo had to have trouble with an NPC.
Xu Huo really went outside to dig a hole, and while digging, he dug out the new grave.
The corpse of an old woman whom the woodcutter claimed to be his daughter was just thrown into the ground without even a piece of cloth wrapped around her neck. There was a hemp rope mark around her neck, indicating that she had been strangled.
Turn the female corpse over, and there will be a series of white numbers on the back that has not yet decomposed.
After re-building the grave, he dug two more graves next to it. One of the two corpses had no head, and the other was also strangled, one was a cannibal player and the other was a black player.
"A lot of people were killed." Xu Huo did not bury the people back, but threw away the shovel and sat down on the spot, smoking and staring at the villa.
The mist continued to fall, and the lights in the villa became dim and dim, but they were still relatively conspicuous in the night, so when the lights suddenly went out, the three people in the cabin noticed it.
As soon as Xu Huo walked out of the cemetery, he heard a shrill scream.
"Something happened over there!" Huang Junjie rushed out, "I'll go over and take a look."
"Yuan Yao will go with you." Xu Huo didn't move, "I'll stay here."
Huang Junjie glanced at him suspiciously, but hurried away without asking any questions.
"Brother Xu, how about I stay here with you?" Yuan Yao asked hurriedly, hearing that someone must be dead in the villa. Whether it is the head-decapitating demon or the player pretending to be the head-decapitating demon, he does not want to face it.
Xu Huo looked at him coldly.
Yuan Yao swallowed his saliva and turned around to chase Huang Junjie without saying a word.
After confirming that he was gone, Xu Huo entered the wooden house, stepped on the edge of the bed and took off the mobile phone placed on the beam, turned off the video recording, and opened the previously recorded video. After watching it, he suddenly laughed and looked at the "corpse" on the bed. Said: "Stop pretending, I know you are alive."
The "corpse" doesn't move.
Xu Huo put his cell phone in his pocket, grabbed the woodcutter by his collar and dragged him out, "I said, if you die, you can bury it. The hole has been dug for you. Since you don't want to wake up, I'll do some good deeds in advance to help you." You may rest in peace.”
He mercilessly threw the "corpse" into the pit where the corpse had been buried before. Xu Huo picked up a shovel and filled it with soil.
As soon as the smelly soil covered his face, the "corpse" finally moved, opened his eyes blankly, looked at the surroundings first, then looked at his own situation, and suddenly shouted: "Come on, help me, it's murder!"
"Stop screaming." Xu Huo pulled some grass and stuffed it into his mouth, "It's not like you don't know that everyone is in the villa, no one will come to save you."
"We just have time, let's talk about another thing."
"Are you a head-decapitating monster?"
The woodcutter had a sarcastic look on his face as if he had heard some joke, but Xu Huo's next words made his expression change drastically.
"It's not a head-decapitating monster, it's just a player who was left behind in the last game."
"Playing the trick of hanging yourself in front of the players is to make others regard you as an integral part of the Villa."
"The people you killed have different degrees of decay. You met at least three groups of players here, but the number of new graves is obviously not enough. I guess the game of the players you killed was not cleaned up, so you had no choice but to bury them in here."
"The villa is such a big place. Rather than burying it secretly and not being able to deal with the consequences if others notice it, it's better to be open and honest for others to see."
"But there was a fire in the villa a few years ago, and it was closed for half a year for renovations. Even the wooden house was built later. It's outrageous for you to say that you have always lived here."
"And your daughter, how old can she be when she is your aunt? When she was buried, she didn't think anyone would dig her up and look at her?"
Pulling out the grass, Xu Huo motioned for him to speak.
