Hiding behind the pile of cardboard boxes she built, Lin You finally got a glimpse of the real face of the celebrity.
She held her breath and watched the other party slowly walk into the warehouse humming a song.
"It was dyed bright red...the face, hands, all were dyed red..."
Accompanied by the singing, the little girl pouted exaggeratedly. She was covered in blood from her eyes to her bare toes, and her hair was sticky and tangled.
She didn't notice this side, holding a puppet rabbit that was also stained with blood in her arms, and the blood splattered on it made people wonder.
Since it will tear people apart, the so-called popular people—
Lin You thought.
Could it be that it was stained red by the splashed blood
It's not good to put all your eggs in one basket. When a person is found, he can't bring others to die with him. In the huge warehouse, the three of them hid in different places just like the previous division of labor.
The action of the red man was obviously very purposeful, and it was determined that someone was hiding in the warehouse.
I have to find a chance to escape from the door while she is walking in.
Holding her breath, Lin You had no choice but to continue to pay attention to the opponent's movements, and she carefully poked her head out again.
— But this time, what appeared in the field of vision was half a face stained with blood.
The red man's staring eyes did not turn away, and his black eyes, which were larger than ordinary people's, were empty and lifeless. She pressed her cheek against the other side of the cardboard box, and the corner of her grinning mouth distorted her entire face, only facing Lin You face-to-face with a palm-width distance.
She mouthed silently.
Got you.
Lin You's pupils shrank suddenly.
"Do you want to wear bright red clothes?" the red man sang every word.
She let out a hoarse laugh of "ga ha ha ha ha" and kicked the ground with her heel. The rabbit doll fell loose to the ground, and her arms opened to strangle Lin You's waist. Knowing that the other party killed with bare hands, Lin You naturally knew how strong she would be. She rolled to the ground and let the red man jump into the air, but the latter didn't give up, and grabbed it head-on with his bloody left hand—
… Huh
Staring at the empty space in front of her eyes, Lin You didn't react for a while.
The accident happened in just a few tens of seconds, and the other two stopped abruptly when they heard the sudden movement. They stood up and looked this way.
"That guy left?... Uh," Wang Yiming stared blankly at her clenched right hand raised in the air, "Are you...?"
Lin You: "..."
She laughed dryly and laughed.
—Almost subconsciously gave the red man an uppercut.
"Have you called?"
Thinking of such a development, Wang Yiming actually felt a little excited, and he squatted down enthusiastically to guide, "Hey girl, let me tell you, if you can't do it with such force, it will hurt a little bit, and it has no real power. You Bend your arm like this, bend it at this angle, and—look, hit him. You're right, it's the least bit dizzy at the very least."
Lin You replied with an "ohhh", one of them was teaching seriously and the other was studying hard, and Xu Yan was listening to it, and something was wrong.
"Brother Wang," he imitated Xie Yuanyun's tone, "what do you do in real life?"
Wang Yiming smiled coquettishly, "A boxer, he was dragged to boxing for two months a few years ago."
"I haven't killed anyone," he declared, "I won't do that."
"—Hey wait."
Only then did Wang Yiming come back to his senses, remembering that there was still something he hadn't asked clearly.
"'Red Man' was really run away by you so suddenly?"
Wouldn't he be more...
"No no no."
Lin You knew what he had misunderstood, and immediately explained: "I haven't done anything yet. After I threw myself and failed to catch me, I was about to grab me a second time and suddenly disappeared from my eyes."
Wang Yiming: "Then why—"
"Someone else turned around." Xu Yan said.
Meeting the gazes of Lin You and Wang Yiming, he shrugged.
"Yes, I also know the background of this dungeon," he said, "but since Li Jing also read it at that time, I might as well listen to her."
"There was such a scene in the original work - a certain person was chased by a celebrity and hooped her back to listen to her singing. Halfway through the song, the celebrity disappeared inexplicably. This was because another friend of his deliberately ran to a distance and turned his head , looking back, this death mechanism has a higher priority, so the red man temporarily gave up killing him and teleported to his friend."
"Although there is still a prerequisite for killing back, you have seen the celebrity, but here it should be extended to the setting that whether you have seen it or not, you will attract the celebrity when you turn around."
"It's not the same as starting after singing that song. This is an instant kill. Therefore," Xu Yan concluded, "you should avoid any turning back from now on."
Easier said than done, Wang Yiming relied more on intuition and fists to get here, and felt very tired of this behavior of strictly controlling his subconscious reactions at all times. He leaned against the pile of boxes, "We don't have many people left, do we?"
That's right.
Lin You calculated that this was the second round of overtime. If you counted the teammate who turned around and led the celebrity, she had seen four outs so far.
Xu Yan: "Including the traitor, there are eight more."
It was good that he didn't mention the traitor, but when he mentioned the guy who took the body first, Wang Yiming immediately wanted to curse again.
"Which bastard is it that got in here?!"
Lin You thought about it and expressed her guess.
"Remember that boy with glasses?" she said.
"You mean the one who walked with you?" Wang Yiming frowned, "I remember his surname is Ren?"
She said "um".
"After we went down, by chance, we bumped into the needle girl directly, and his glasses were knocked off, and his behavior afterwards—"
The first doubt came when Ren Mingde was asked to lure the needle girl away. At that time, it was because he had been fooled, and in the eyes of the latter, he was definitely the easiest one to get. With him coming forward, the needle girl can relax her vigilance, thinking that her companions dislike him because he is injured and inconvenient to move, or that he is easily exposed if he loses his lottery, so she chases after him without any worries.
As for the pair of glasses that were knocked to the ground, since he didn't say it was inconvenient, she let him go.
The problem is that if people can't see the road under their feet clearly, they will hesitate no matter what, but in retrospect, the footsteps sounded too smooth at that time.
In order to strive for authenticity, "Box" will not correct the player's eyesight, and the game image read out is also the player's usual dress. The pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose was supposed to be what the original Ren Mingde used to wear in reality, but after being swapped, they became a disguise for ghosts pretending to be him.
"One more thing," Lin You said, "he's been doing this push-up of the glasses, right?"
Wang Yiming let out an "ah" and nodded.
"If you wear glasses for a long time, you may subconsciously want to push them up," she said, "but he may just learn this from before he was replaced. Because he didn't do it again once the glasses fell off. It's more common for people who develop this habit to push before they realize they're not wearing glasses—which suggests that not wearing glasses is the norm for him."
"Finally, the third point."
"We talked about career, and his answer at that time was a bit familiar. I thought he wanted to show that he was weak. Now that I think about it, he really meant that, but he was just repeating what the girl said at the beginning."
I couldn't understand what they were talking about, but I also guessed what was the problem of strength or not, so I directly applied the complaints I heard at the beginning.
Wang Yiming was taken aback.
He wasn't good at mental work in the first place, but now he realized that what the girl said made some sense.
"Actually, I originally wanted to vote this guy out as a werewolf," Lin You changed the subject, "It's really suspicious."
Wang Yiming: "..."
ah? ? ? ?
Xu Yan who was pointed at: "..."
"I am wronged, I am wronged." He cleared his throat twice, "In short, the above are all doubtful points, but this is the real evidence?"
He walked to the corner where Lin You was staring at, bent down and picked up the claw hammer that was thrown there—there was a bloody palm print on the hammer handle.
Lin You said "hmm".
This is obviously the "murder weapon" used to break the lock, and the thick blood stain on it can only be left by Ren Mingde who has been covering the wound with his hand.
Thinking about it this way, being lured and injured by the needle girl was probably just a part of him to disguise his strength and lower their vigilance, but he didn't expect that his act would directly lead to his own exposure.
"We separated not far from the stairs," Lin You said. "There are no obstacles on their way, so they can arrive faster than us. But since Ren Mingde is the one who was dropped—"
The three looked at each other.
Li Jing who was with him was in danger.
"I can only find it as soon as possible," she said, "I just don't know where I'm hiding now."
I don't know if they moved their positions while they were in the warehouse. It's a bit reluctant for three people to search the upper and lower floors in more than ten minutes, not to mention the restriction of not being able to turn back, and the addition of 096 and human head balloons. —
"Who said you can go?"
The moment the familiar voice came from the door, a chill rushed up from Lin You's back.
Wang Yiming has always acted on instinct, he rushed over instinctively, and slammed the iron door pushed open by the red man. He moved a step faster, seeing the rope loop passing under his eyes and brushing his neck—at least he didn't put it on.
"...You guys," Xu Yanqiang asked calmly, "what's the sound you heard?"
"Mine."
"mine."
Lin You and Wang Yiming spoke almost at the same time. They looked at the indescribable expression on Xu Yan's face and understood what was going on.
Doppelgänger.
The head balloon comes from the legend of the double body. It is said that if a person meets his own double body—the other double body in the world, he will die soon.
And although there was only one human head balloon outside the door, they heard their own voices, and it seemed that they didn't intend to let any of them go.
"Anyway, there are only two roads before you."
Through an iron door, the human-headed balloon persuaded: "Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, and staying inside will be nothing but psychological torture."
"Let's do this." Hearing his own voice sounding outside the door one after another, it felt really confusing and weird, "As long as you send me one person, I can let the other two go away..."
Everyone is teammates who have just met each other not long ago, so this will undoubtedly provoke each other's relationship. The atmosphere in the warehouse is already depressing, and this is punishing.
We can't let it continue to procrastinate, there is already a ghost in the team, and it will be even more impetuous if it goes on like this. Lin You secretly calculated, thinking that an hour and a half has passed, is there any cooldown time—
The next second, the illustrated book suddenly spread out in front of her eyes, her eyes lit up, and she grabbed the card that popped up.
It seems that the CD summoned by the self-selected card has not arrived yet, but the card-drawing skills have just been refreshed.
— This card is also just right!
Xu Yan adapted well, but Wang Yiming stared at him in a daze, "What is this?!"
Lin You didn't bother to explain further.
"Did you see what the rope looked like when you closed the door?" she asked. "Can you break it?"
Wang Yiming replied subconsciously: "I just saw it at a glance. It's quite thick, but it should be broken if it is cut hard. It's just that we keep doing it!"
It is impossible for human beings alone to surpass the strength and speed of the human-headed balloon, as long as they are immediately hung on the rope before that.
Lin You: "That's just right!"
She waved her hand, and the big living person suddenly appeared in front of her shocked him again.
It cannot be said to be a living person.
The slit girl in a windbreaker put on her mask tightly, and she looked at Lin You indifferently.
"Come on, take this." The latter smiled and stuffed the prepared things into the other party's hand. "I saw it in the supermarket next door. Take it as my apology for breaking your scissors."
The gap girl was taken aback.
She took it in silence, feeling a little shy for a moment, and couldn't help but look at him again.
Although I brought some things with me before I came out, the more scissors the better, not to mention that this one is quite what she likes—if you visualize the values, you can probably see that "OK" popped out crookedly above her head. Sensitivity 2” character.
Seeing her softening attitude, Lin You patted her on the shoulder kindly.
"Exactly, I have something else I want to ask you."
The iron door of the warehouse opened.
In the shocked eyes of the head balloon, it was not anyone it thought came out—it also reacted extremely quickly and made a counterattack without hesitation.
The Gap Girl has no other advantages, except that her speed has the upper hand.
She turned around to avoid the rope that was also trying to wrap her body, grabbed it, opened the scissors in her hand, and swung them down towards the rope. She is stuck just right, but the rope is not made of ordinary material, if you try to cut it off, it will definitely be destroyed again—
"Cut the rope!" As if knowing her hesitation, a voice came from inside the iron gate, "Don't worry about the scissors, I can give you as many as you want!"
The girl with the gap was cruel and pressed the handle hard!
A small gap was cut at the upper end of the shiny metallic lasso, but the scissors also collapsed with a bang, deformed to the point where it could not be used again.
"Ha!" Seeing this, the head balloon couldn't help but gloated and laughed, "Even your weapon is broken, what can you do now—"
Before the words fell, the gaping girl smiled sympathetically.
She pulled open the windbreaker and showed several rows of scissors that she had hung inside.
