(Modified later) The second task of the copy is to decipher the truth. The reason for the missing guests is certainly the key figures in the castle, but the truth is something deeper. Only what can be deduced from the information Xu Huo has so far. It should be the closest to the truth.
Although the truth is almost known, He Pu will definitely not let the player pass the level easily. Although Mr. Dong has no malice towards the player, it does not mean that he will pity the player. He wants to ask him about the "disappearing guest". Disaster.
But he was lucky and found a person hiding in the castle.
The three dead players are certain, but the two missing players are not.
If either of those two people survived, the energy he sensed in the wall of Hope's room during dinner was most likely the player.
There is no need to go to the third floor, nor to Hu Shan or Mr. Dong's room. If the player hiding in the wall is really the player, the other party will never dare to go there when these three people are in the room.
Using a silencer to hide his voice, Xu Huo found You Qiwen in his room without much effort.
The guy discovered him. Perhaps he felt that he was not exposed, so he hid in the wall.
Xu Huo didn't even look in his direction. He opened the adult fairy tale book and stabbed the wall with his flying sword!
A streak of blood left along the edge of the sword. He strode over and drew the sword. A human-shaped object was brought out from the wall. The masonry patterns covering the body receded like a leech - a person holding it Jian knelt on the ground.
[Congratulations to Player A for finding the "missing guest". Do you want to submit the truth about the guest's disappearance? 】
"It's you." Xu Huo didn't rush to submit the truth. Instead, he moved his sword forward, pulled up the kneeling man and nailed it to the wall, and said with a smile: "I asked you why you disappeared in broad daylight. , it turned out that he was hiding by himself."
Yu Shuai's mouth twitched in pain, but he couldn't get away, so he had to say: "I found the missing guest, please let me go, I can tell you!"
"Lying?" Xu Huo raised his sword.
Yu Shuai quickly pressed down and said hurriedly: "I'm not lying, I have completed task one!"
"Why didn't I receive the prompt?" Xu Huo's men lost their strength.
Yu Shuai's baby face twisted into a wrinkled bun, "Not every player who clears the level will notify the players in the same dungeon. It is normal that there is no prompt. Don't... don't find trouble!"
Xu Huo reluctantly believed him, "Where is the missing guest?"
"Most of them have become bones in the pond, but a few have been well preserved. They are in He Pu's bedroom closet. He made them into dolls." Yu Shuai said: "If you don't believe me, you can go and see them!"
"You think I'm stupid, aren't you going to die by going to He Pu now?" Xu Huo sneered, "Didn't you clear the level? Why are you still here?"
"I failed the second mission!" When Yu Shuai entered He Pu's bedroom, he knew that the boss of this instance was not good. "Of course I want to complete the mission and leave as soon as possible, but multiple submissions are useless."
"What is your truth?" Xu Huo asked.
Yu Shuai didn't hide this, he said it all, because there was no point in hiding it. This was not the real answer to task two at all.
"The owner of the castle, He Pu, massacred the players. What's wrong with the conspiracy between the housekeeper Mr. Dong and the maid Hu Shan?"
"Maybe they are not colluding." Xu Huo said.
"I have arranged and combined all the other possible answers." Yu Shuai found the person in the closet the day before yesterday. How could it take two days? He must have tried all possibilities, even other inconspicuous servants. , but all failed.
"Perhaps those corpses were not killed by people in the castle at all, but were just used by He Pu to tease players..." Yu Shuai took a deep breath, "If you don't plan to kill me, can you pull it out first?" sword?"
Xu Huo ignored him and asked, "During the two days you stayed in the wall, apart from Mr. and Mrs. Ma, have any other players gone to see He Pu?"
"No." Yu Shuai said immediately: "I am on the second floor most of the time. No one can escape my eyes."
Xu Huo glanced at him steadily before pulling out the sword.
Yu Shuai gasped and fell forward. He stretched his hand forward slightly, then took it back when he heard Xu Huo speak.
"I probably know what the truth is." Xu Huo said.
"You know?" Yu Shuai took a curved needle and pricked the wound, and the needle automatically sutured along the wound. When the thread was pulled, the bleeding stopped immediately.
Seeing Xu Huo looking at him, he added: "It's just a temporary tool to stop the bleeding. The injury is not healed."
Xu Huo nodded, "Can I still hide in the wall?"
"Of course." Yu Shuai looked wary and asked: "You said you know the real truth. What conditions do you need to tell me?"
Xu Huo now believes that players will not notify each other after completing tasks.
"Steal a corpse." He said: "Tomorrow after dinner, all players will go to the music room to listen to the appreciation meeting. At that time, you bring a corpse there. After completing task one, I will reveal the truth."
Yu Shuai was dubious, "Are you so sure?"
"Do you still have a choice?" Xu Huo asked, "Tomorrow's concert is obviously the deadline given by He Pu. If we can't clear the level before he takes action, do you think we can survive until the dungeon time limit the day after tomorrow?"
"You don't think he didn't notice you, do you?"
Yu Shuai looked shocked, but his face darkened in an instant.
When he first entered He Pu's room, He Pu did not play the kind of mentally suppressing drum music, but after that, regardless of whether he was in the room or not, shielding props were used in the room to start playing drum music, so that it could not be heard outside. Once you get close, you will suffer even within the wall.
"You will know tomorrow night if what I said is right. Anyway, you have no other way, why not try what I said." After Xu Huo finished speaking, he paused and added: "You don't have to count on other players. They are better than others." You might as well be chasing Mr. Dong right now. Also, as I said, there are non-task players in the dungeon, and others may not be trustworthy."
Yu Shuai hesitated briefly and then agreed.
"Someone is coming." Xu Huo motioned for him to leave.
When Yu Shuai entered the wall, the door was knocked. After ringing twice regularly, Hu Shan's voice came from outside the door, "Mr. Xu, are you there?"
Xu Huo raised his eyebrows in the darkness. He entered You Qiwen's room.
"Mr. Xu, I'm in." The other party obviously didn't wait for him and unscrewed the door handle - literally, the entire handle was removed.
After Hu Shan walked in, she threw away the metal handle casually and stood in the dark and said, "You guests are so dishonest. You run around without sleeping in the middle of the night and interfere with the master's rest."
"You're about the same." Xu Huo said calmly, "Aren't you also running around without sleeping? If you don't help your companions, you'll get into trouble with me, a passerby. I'm a pacifist and don't cause trouble for anyone."
Hu Shan's figure slowly grew taller and stronger, and a huge square hammer appeared in her hand.
