The tapping of the tabletop by his fingertips paused slightly, and Baili Xin stretched out his other hand and flipped it forward, revealing a few pieces of white paper in his palm. "The window was opened just now, and I was afraid that the paper would be blown away, so I put it away. This piece of paper should be the only carrier of our answers, don't lose it."
Only then did several people realize that the paper in front of them had disappeared.
First there was the joy of finding the signal, then the shock of Yang Hao's horrific death, and then he observed the corpse.
After this series of events, they all forgot that there was an answer sheet in front of them.
Zhou Guang quickly took a piece of white paper from Baili Xin's hand and said gratefully, "Thank you."
Baili Xin: "You're welcome."
After the remaining people had drawn a piece of white paper one after another, Baili Xin pulled out a few pens from the darkness and said with a smile, "There are more pens."
Everyone: “…”
Handsome guy, are you Doraemon
Where did this money come from
After several people got their pens, Zhou Guang asked again: "Do you really know who the murderer is?"
Baili Xin glanced at the rattan box. "The handprint on the deceased's neck is wide, and the neck was twisted and deformed by being pinched. It would be impossible without a certain amount of strength. There is a certain proportional relationship between the hand and the height of the human body. It can be inferred that the murderer's height should be between 175 and 180. Li Cancan can indeed be ruled out as a suspect."
Li Cancan's tense shoulders relaxed, but then stiffened again.
What’s the point of just eliminating suspicion
This ghost game requires you to give the correct answer. If you give the wrong answer, you will die. She is not out of danger yet!
"Mr. Shen just mentioned these," Zhou Guang paused, "Do you have any other discoveries?"
Baili Xin continued, "There are a few more discoveries. I found that the handprint on the victim's neck was heavier on the left hand and lighter on the right hand. The murderer should be left-handed."
Liang Xi, who had been silent the whole time, turned pale. "I, I am left-handed, but I really didn't kill the person! I just said that I am a veterinarian, and I was performing surgery just now!"
The other people were already on high alert. Zhou Guang asked sternly, "But you are the only left-handed person here. Who knows if you are a veterinarian?"
Shen Gu said: "No, there should be another person. I just noticed that Yang Hao was holding the phone outside the window with his left hand, so he should also be left-handed."
Liang Xi quickly replied: "Yes, yes, Mr. Shen is right, Yang Hao is also left-handed, the murderer must be him!"
Baili Xin: "There was indeed another left-handed person in the room, but it was not Yang Hao. Yang Hao was holding the phone with his left hand because he was holding the cigarette with his right hand. And he always used his right hand to take the phone or cigarette out of his pocket."
Liang Xi subconsciously stared at Baili Xin: "Who is the other person?!"
Baili Xin swept his eyes across the crowd and finally landed in one direction, "It's Mr. Shen."
Everyone: “?!”
Li Cancan retorted: "That's impossible. Mr. Shen said at the beginning that he was practicing calligraphy. The ink was on the cuff of his right hand, which means he was holding the brush with his right hand."
Xia Chi, who had only said one sentence, spoke for the second time tonight. "No, it's not certain. I also practice calligraphy, and you can't tell which hand holds the brush just by looking at the ink-stained cuffs. Because some people are used to raising their hands high to write, and some people are used to using their other hand to hold the cuff of the hand they write with tight, so both sleeves may be stained with ink."
"It's true that the location of the ink doesn't allow me to tell which cuff is at fault, but I'm not left-handed."
Shengudao dipped his right index finger in saliva and quickly wrote three big words on the table: Shengudao.
The handwriting is free and unrestrained, flowing like flowing water, and you can tell at first glance that the writer is right-handed.
Liang Xi was already very nervous after being labeled as a suspect. He looked at Baili Xin in frustration, "You don't know anything at all, do you? You are not the murderer, are you?! You deliberately said something to create panic and lead everyone to put the suspicion on me so that you can fish in troubled waters. I don't think the murderer is left-handed at all!"
"The body is right there. You can go and see for yourself if the murderer is left-handed or not." Baili Xin was not angry and continued, "Mr. Shen, are you really not left-handed? In the past ten minutes, you revealed that you are left-handed at least three times."
"The first time was when you first came here. At that time, you used your left hand to wipe the sweat off your face."
"The second time was when Yang Hao stood by the window and said he had found a clue. You first walked out with the cane in your left hand, and then switched to your right hand after walking a few steps."
"The third time was just now. I told you to take back your paper and pen when I found the murderer. You used your left hand twice."
"You can disguise your dominant hand normally, but when you are extremely nervous and your brain cannot think, you will unconsciously use your dominant hand."
"The first time was because of the fear of the unknown, the second time was because of the eagerness to survive, what about the third time?"
"Why did you get so excited that your brain lost its ability to think when I mentioned the murderer?"
Outside the window, a bolt of lightning struck.
The faint blue light just fell on Baili Xin's face, making his handsome face look unusually strange and enchanting.
Shen Gudao pursed his lips slightly, and his cloudy eyes looked at Baili Xin steadily. After a moment, he spoke: "Yes, I used to be left-handed. But because it was inconvenient for students to write on the blackboard with my left hand during class, I deliberately practiced using my right hand. I have been using my right hand for more than 30 years. I didn't expect you to observe so carefully. After so long, I even forgot that I was still left-handed in my bones."
"Do you suspect that I am the murderer? Don't forget, you just said that the murderer is a very strong person between 175-180cm tall. I am only 170cm tall, and I have Parkinson's disease. My hands don't have enough strength to do that kind of thing."
"Yes." Li Cancan shouted, "Anyone among us can be suspected, but Mr. Shen is the only one who should not be suspected. At his age, let alone breaking someone's neck, even if he pinches someone, he won't leave a mark, right?"
The sudden rain slammed against the glass, the wind was blowing hard, and it was eerie outside the window, but the hotel was extremely quiet.
In the silent silence, Baili Xin said something that made everyone shudder: "What if the murder happened thirty years ago?"
Baili Xin stood up and walked to the radio. "What made me suspicious at first was the information provided by the radio. In the last contact information, the family of the missing person left a landline number. And this landline number starts with a two-digit number '01'."
"If I remember correctly, the first batch of landlines in our country only had two-digit area codes, and it was not until the 1990s that they were changed to three-digit numbers."
Xia Chi thought for a moment and added, "In 1995, the country unified the landline area code to three digits."
Seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, Xia Chi coughed nervously and said, "I saw it when I was reviewing comprehensive knowledge for the college entrance examination."
Baili Xin continued, "The weaving method of the rattan box used to hold the deceased was an old craft from decades ago, and the clothes and shoes on the deceased were also from more than 30 years ago. The structure of the house, the style of the lamps, the wiring structure, etc. of the hotel we are staying in are all antiques from decades ago."
"The deceased looked very young, only about 20 years old, which matched the age on the radio, indicating that the deceased's disappearance and death were very close in time."
"When we see a body that has not yet decayed appear here, we subconsciously think that the murder happened recently and ignore the time," Baili Xin walked to the body. Lightning fell behind him through the window, spreading a mysterious blue light. "But in fact, this is a case that happened at least thirty years ago."
"Everyone, how old were you thirty years ago?"
Everyone was shocked.
How old were they thirty years ago
Those born early are just wearing a urine ring, and those born late are not even an embryo!
Liang Xi's voice trembled a little, "Mr. Shen just said that his height is only 170 cm. But he is an old man now, and as the human body ages, the bones will also shrink. If he goes back 30 years ago, his height would be at least 175 cm!"
Zhou Guang was suddenly shocked: "He has been leading us to doubt Yang Hao. It was his words that angered Yang Hao in the beginning. The rules of the game are that the person who gets the most votes and the person who fills in the wrong answer will be punished. If we all write Yang Hao in the end, he can write his own name with peace of mind. In this way, he has written the correct answer but is not the one who gets the most votes."
Li Cancan's scalp tingled: "And we will all die."
Everyone looked at Shengu Dao, disbelief in their eyes.
They were fooled by this guy from the very beginning!
Shengudao has always been the first group they exclude, and the elderly and children have always been the two groups of people that people are most likely to let down their guard.
They really couldn't imagine that the university professor with clear and gentle eyes would actually be a murderer.
Ding! Player Baili Xin has submitted the answer in 31 minutes and 20 seconds.
Let’s start testing the answers.
Ding! Congratulations to player Baili Xin, the answer is correct, and he gets 50 points for the correct answer. The remaining time is 23 hours, 28 minutes and 40 seconds, which is converted into 50 points. Excellent performance on the scene, get an additional bonus of 50 points.
Congratulations to player Baili Xin for getting a total of 150 points in this warm-up session.
A cold electronic voice suddenly rang out, and everyone suddenly woke up from their fear and hurriedly followed Baili Xin's speed to fill in the answers.
Only Li Cancan was still a little hesitant: "No matter how vicious it was, it was still a human life. We don't have judicial power. Is that right?"
Zhou Guang's hand holding the pen suddenly stopped.
He studied law, so he certainly knew the rigor of the law. Even if Shen Gudao was the murderer, it shouldn't be up to them to decide the other person's life or death.
Baili Xin: "Look down and take a good look at the footprints on the ground."
Everyone immediately lowered their heads and saw a circle of wet footprints on the ground, which ended all the way to Baili Xin's position.
There was water on Prisin's shoes? Where did he get it
"It's the rattan box!" Xia Chi shouted, "There's a puddle of water on the carpet around the rattan box. Both Brother Xin and Grandpa Shen went over there just now, but only Brother Xin's feet had shoe prints."
If you step into water but can't leave footprints, are you still a human? !
Several people felt a chill all over their bodies and looked at Shengu Dao with stiff necks.
At this moment, Shengudao was no longer friendly at all. He looked at Baili Xin with resentment, his eyes like a poisonous snake.
Everyone's astonishment was soon replaced by fear, as they discovered that something seemed to be wrong with Shengu Road.
He walked stiffly, his neck turned in an uncoordinated manner, and his eyes even moved around uncontrollably in his eye sockets. Even his skin had a strange bluish-white color, but it was not obvious under the dim kerosene lamp.
Several people gasped.
Liang Xi's throat trembled: "Is this a zombie NPC?"
Shengudao grinned, revealing a row of jagged, densely packed fangs.
He was seen approaching them step by step, laughing horribly. His wrinkled skin hung precariously on his body, like a skeleton covered in human skin.
He seemed to be walking very slowly, but his pace was incredibly fast. Before anyone could react, the monster was almost in front of them.
There is no rule in the game that monsters cannot kill people midway! As long as the game is not over, it can continue to do whatever it wants!
His sharp teeth stretched to half the size of his face, and he was about to pounce on Liang Xi, who was nearest to him.
In a flash, a slender finger with distinct joints suddenly grabbed the monster's neck!
Baili Xin, who had been lazy and idle just now, now had a sharp gaze and exuded an aura that made it impossible to look directly at him.
He easily lifted the monster steadily into the air with one hand.
The monster had long lost its previous arrogance. It roared and struggled wildly, but did not seem to be able to break free at all.
Fear gradually replaced the hideousness. The monster looked at the gorgeous man in panic and roared at the top of his lungs: "Who are you?!"
Baili Xin stretched his lips and revealed a kind smile: "I am your ancestor!"
A ray of golden light suddenly flashed across the window, tearing through the dark sky and also enveloping Baili Xin in a layer of thick, lingering light.
Everyone stared blankly at what was happening before them, their eyes greedily glued to Baili Xin.
Laziness completely faded away, Baili Xin was wrapped in a brilliant yellow light, and the arrogance in his eyes was like a sharp edge, impacting everyone's reason and heart.
Blast the atmosphere, bro! So cool!
Just as everyone was immersed in it, Baili Xin slowly turned around and asked, "Why don't you write your answers quickly?"
Everyone then reacted, and almost at the same second, everyone wrote the three words "Shengudao" at the same time.
The next second, the system's cold electronic voice appeared in everyone's mind again.
Ding! Congratulations to the players for answering correctly. Each player will receive 100 points.
Now comes the punishment time.
A beam of white light fell.
The stiff body suddenly fell to the ground, and the irregular round object rolled on the ground with a clanging sound, unwillingly blocked by the rattan box.
Everything happened so suddenly. Li Cancan slumped down on the ground. Only then did she realize that her back was already soaked with sweat.
She looked around and saw that Baili Xin had regained his lazy expression.
Zhou Guang and Liang Xi were also very frightened and only held on to the back of the chair to avoid falling.
Xia Chi, the youngest one, was very calm, his back was straight, his body was as strong as a steel plate, and there was no fear on his face.
Ding!
Congratulations to the remaining players for completing the game successfully. Now let’s start playing the crime scene.
The electronic sound rang again unexpectedly. Li Cancan took a deep breath and used his hands and feet to sit back in his seat.
So many things happened just now, and although I felt disgusted when I heard this voice again, I no longer felt the fear I had at the beginning.
As the electronic sound fell, a huge blue screen was projected on the blank wall.
The hotel is still in the picture, but it is not as old and desolate as it is now.
The young girl in the red dress and the middle-aged Sheng Gudao were confronting each other, and the atmosphere was very serious.
"Teacher, why did you abandon me?! You said you would marry me, so I gave my body to you. I got pregnant and had an abortion for you, and even went crazy for you, but you turned around and wanted to marry another woman, just because she is the dean's daughter?!"
"I hate you! Just wait, I will expose your true hypocrisy in front of that woman!"
Just as the young girl was about to run out, Shengudao quickly pressed the girl to the ground. The girl struggled hard, cursing as she fought, "You beast, let me go! I will let everyone recognize your true face, and I will ruin your reputation!"
During the struggle, Shengudao, with a ferocious look on his face, grabbed the girl's slender neck with both hands, "Bitch, I won't let you ruin my future!"
…
The dark blue translucent screen turned into a line and disappeared. The rain outside the window had stopped at some point. The bright sunshine broke through the dark clouds and shone in, falling right on the face of the girl in red in the rattan box, illuminating the quiet hotel.
Liang Xi looked at the mess on the ground with fear, looked at Baili Xin with shame, his face was burning, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
If it wasn't for Baili Xin, all of them might have died, but he was still questioning Baili Xin, mistaking the big guy for a rookie!
Congratulations to all players for successfully completing the warm-up game. Now you will enter the trial copy [Bride of the River God].
This instance is a role-playing instance. You will randomly select a character in the instance based on your luck value. Different characters have different buff bonuses.
Now let’s start the luck value assessment.
As the system finished speaking, a ball of golden light appeared above everyone's heads.
The light was a bit like cotton candy, soft and fluffy, constantly twisting and deforming, slowly gathering into clear letters.
Li Cancan tried to reach out and touch it, her fingers passed through the light, and her fingertips took away the stars, and the stars disappeared immediately.
The first person to see the light was Xia Chi. After the light jumped above his head for less than two seconds, a letter appeared: a.
Congratulations to player Xia Chi, your luck value is a, you are super lucky, even God is on your side.
Next came Li Cancan and Liang Xi, and the letter b appeared above their heads.
Congratulations to players Li Cancan and Liang Xi, whose luck value is B. They are very lucky and there is a high probability that they can pick up money while walking.
The letter above Zhou Guang’s head soon appeared: C.
Congratulations to player Zhou Guang, whose luck value is C. His luck is just so-so, but he gets lucky once in a while.
Everyone's eyes were on Baili Xin's head.
Baili Xin is so powerful, so his luck must be very high, right? Maybe it's S? !
The light above Baili Xin's head showed no sign of stopping. Everyone waited for more than ten seconds before the letters above Baili Xin's head began to take shape vaguely.
f.
Everyone: “…”
The light rubbed for a while, pulled out a small spot of light, slowly drew a horizontal line behind the f before stopping.
f－.
Four confused faces: "???"
f-
System, aren't you a human being
f would be fine, but why add a “-”
Congratulations to player Baili Xin, whose luck value is f-. The most unlucky person in the universe, even dogs are luckier than you.
Congratulations to player Baili Xin, whose luck value is too low, triggering the world's hidden title - God of Bad Luck (only one).
Friendly reminder: Cherish life and stay away from bad luck.
Baili Xin: "..."
Everyone: “…”
All luck values have been checked, and the copy transmission will begin now. I wish all players a happy game!
Before anyone could complain, a huge black vortex suddenly appeared before their eyes.
When Baili Xin came to himself again, an electric sound immediately appeared in his mind.
Ding! Congratulations to player Baili Xin for obtaining the status of Saint.
Baili Xin's movement to stand up paused for a moment.
A saint? That sounds good.
The following is an introduction to the characters. The Saintess of the River God Village, born for sacrifice, has been bedridden for many years.
Congratulations to the player for obtaining the Saint's exclusive buff "Lingering Sickbed". Friendly reminder: The "Lingering Sickbed" buff is a negative buff, reducing the player's force value by 95%.
Baili Xin: "..."
Congratulations
Where does the joy come from
