After hearing this, Yang Ye smiled, and said in a deep voice, "Who would dare to admit to a person like you who threatened to kill the detective?"
Gu Liang looked at Yang Ye's expression, and thought to himself if he said this, was he pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, or was he simply entertaining himself
Gu Liang felt that it was more likely that he would amuse himself.
After a while, Gu Liang said indifferently: "I asked the system that question, just to test the rules of the game, not really wanting to kill the detective."
"It's okay to kill a detective, but it's not necessary. Everyone can vote. Killing a detective doesn't mean that a murderer can't be voted by other players, so that he can escape sanctions. It's meaningless. Unless—"
Speaking of this, Gu Liang looked at Yang Ye with deep meaning: "Unless the detective has other privileges, such as holding some important clues alone. Do you have any there?"
After hearing this, Yang Ye gave a comment: "Tsk, the cliché is aboveboard."
"It's not that the detective is afraid of what I will say?" Gu Liang responded lightly.
This mouth is really powerful.
Yang Ye couldn't help asking: "What do you do yourself?"
Gu Liang ignored him, retracted his gaze, and began to empty his eyes again. "Forget it if you don't admit it."
Yang Ye opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something else.
At this moment, a cry for help suddenly sounded in the corridor outside the door.
It was a very crisp juvenile voice. "Help me! Help me!"
Gu Liang didn't move, he just raised his eyelids and glanced indifferently, and saw Yang Ye stand up and go to open the door.
The boy who ran outside the door was about 17 years old. Seeing someone open the door, he immediately ran in.
Yang Ye glanced at the corridor, then closed the door again.
After entering the door, the young man leaned his back against the wall, panting heavily. After a while, the panic in his eyes faded away, and he looked at the two men in front of him. "I... I am the son of Bai. Who are you?"
Yang Ye said: "I am your stepmother."
Yang Ye was tall and tall, with extremely aggressive eyebrows and eyes.
The suit tightly wrapped his body, but it did not prevent people from seeing his lean body and smooth muscles.
In short, his whole body exudes strong male hormones.
Therefore, when Yang Ye said "I am your stepmother", Gu Liang frowned, obviously shocked by him.
The boy reacted for a while. "You... are you Huang's girlfriend?"
"Well, I accidentally took a female role."
Yang Ye pointed to Gu Liang who was paralyzed on the sofa as stable as a mountain, "He is lawyer Zhang."
Bai Zi nodded, indicating that he understood.
He squatted down first, then simply sat on the ground, hugging his knees.
Yang Ye asked him: "What's wrong with you? Who is chasing you?"
"Yes... it's Boss Bai who wants to kill me!" Son Bai seemed to be a little scared when he said this, he hugged his knees tightly and lowered his head.
"Why did he kill you?" Yang Ye asked.
Bai Zi swallowed, as if out of panic, he didn't raise his head to meet Yang Ye's eyes.
Yang Ye knelt down and looked at him. "Don't worry, speak slowly."
Son Bai thought for a while, lowered his head, and said in a soft voice: "According to my script, I found out recently that my father, Boss Bai, killed my own mother, so I bought a poison , I want to find an opportunity to poison him during lunch today."
After hearing this sentence, Gu Liang confirmed two things.
First, as he guessed at the beginning, in this script, except for the detective, everyone else may have murderous intentions against Boss Bai, and they have prepared their own set of modus operandi.
Second, the kid in front of him is quite clever, and he didn't mention the specific timeline and the name of the poison.
Son Bai continued: "I was in the house just now. Boss Bai, that is, my dad, actually came to look for me. At that time, I just dug out the poison box and hadn't had time to clean it up. So the box of poison happened to be taken by him. I saw it. He took out a knife at once, and said that if he had killed the murderer first, he would not have died."
Gu Liang probably understood what happened.
Just now downstairs, Boss Bai was taken back to his room by two men in black after being frightened into unconsciousness.
After waking up, he didn't want to wait to die like this, he wanted to make a comeback.
Among these people, the best one to deal with is probably this 17-year-old boy.
It may be for this reason that Boss Bai went to him first to test whether he was the murderer.
He may not know that many people want to kill him today.
When he saw the poison, he naturally thought that Son Bai was the real culprit in this case.
In order to avoid being killed himself, Boss Bai had to kill his son instead.
Unexpectedly, Bai's son reacted in time and escaped.
—Bai Boss, is this a violation of the rules
Gu Liang, who was as immobile as a mountain, finally stood up from the sofa. He walked to the door, opened the door a little and took a look outside.
— Boss Bai was being carried towards his room by two men in black. He was motionless, as if he had passed out.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Liang heard the familiar voice of the radio.
"The following report will be made regarding the emergency. Boss Bai tried to kill Bai's son, but failed, and was forced to be transported back to the room by the men in black."
"The next step is to judge the behavior of Boss Bai. The character of Boss Bai is a scum who commits all kinds of evil, so his behavior conforms to the character design. There is no OOC, and the system does not judge violations. Therefore, Boss Bai does not need to accept special punishment."
"According to the script setting, the timeline of each player is about to unfold. In order to prevent Boss Bai from affecting the plot, the man in black will strictly control his next behavior to ensure that everything develops according to the script."
The system claims to ensure that everything develops according to the script, that is, it will ensure that Boss Bai dies according to the script.
So far, the man in black has appeared twice. The first time was to rescue the comatose Boss Bai, and the second time was to tie Boss Bai back and strictly control his behavior so that he would obediently wait to be killed.
In this game, the person who directly draws the dead card is undoubtedly the most unlucky.
Many people would die if they didn't want to, so they naturally had to choose to do something.
So the setting of the men in black is reasonable.
They will control the "dead" when necessary to prevent them from affecting the direction of the script.
So, is there a way to intervene with these men in black
Gu Liang closed the door, sat on the sofa again, tapped the armrest of the sofa with his index finger and thought for a while, and found that Bai's son was crying with his face covered.
Probably because he was only focused on running for his life just now, and Bai Zi hadn't had time to feel sad and frightened.
It wasn't until he finished listening to the radio that he realized what a terrible world he had come to, and he began to feel scared and cry bitterly.
Watching Son Bai cry silently for a long time, Gu Liang slightly frowned, and said: "Crying for a while is enough, there is no point in continuing to cry. Be strong."
On the side, Yang Ye heard this in his ears, and felt a little strange—it turns out that Gu Liang, who is as mean as Gu Liang, can comfort others
In an instant, Yang Ye was slapped in the face, and Gu Liang asked, "By the way, when do you plan to poison?"
Gu Liang's two sentences can be regarded as a sudden turning point.
Dare love, he didn't want to comfort others, but just wanted to take the opportunity to talk.
His intentions, son Bai probably also saw it.
So Son Bai finally raised his head that had been lowered before, he glanced at Gu Liang in shock, and then looked at Yang Ye for help. "You are my stepmother, can I trust you?"
Yang Ye laughed, laughing so much that his son's scalp went numb.
After laughing, Yang Ye asked Bai Zi: "How do you plan to poison? What is the specific operation? Read the script and listen to it?"
Son Bai: "..."
He suddenly felt that the two people in front of him seemed scarier than the NPC in black and the radio.
"Timeline or something, you don't talk about yours, and I don't talk about mine. I was sent here inexplicably, to participate in this kind of terrible game, and to meet people like you who make use of the needles. I... I really..."
Son Bai sat on the floor blankly, feeling a little depressed for a while.
Gu Liang glanced at the wall clock on the wall, then glanced at Son Bai and Yang Ye. "You should go. I saw a room in the corridor on the first floor with the sign of 'Concentration Discussion Room'. You two have something to say there. I'm not having a tea party."
After saying this, Gu Liang stood up, took a bite of the strawberry cake on the square table, and took a sip of black tea.
Seeing his action, Bai Zi blinked, suddenly jumped up from the ground, and looked at him in disbelief.
Noticing his unconcealable surprised expression, Gu Liang glanced at him. "What's wrong?"
"No... nothing..." Bai Zi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked away, "Aren't you afraid of being poisoned?"
Gu Liang said: "Who downloaded it? The system won't download it, and it wants us to play games alive for the time being. You two? You two have never been close to these foods."
"But... eating props doesn't count as breaking the rules?"
Bai'er frowned and said in a low voice, looking anxious. After a while, a strange expression appeared on his face. He seemed to think about his words before he said, "I always feel that this terrible house It is controlled by some kind of gods and ghosts, and everything in it should not be touched."
"You can wait for three seconds to see if I'm okay." Gu Liang said calmly.
In the end, Bai Zi chose to wait for three minutes.
After three minutes passed, Gu Liang frowned, as if showing a trace of impatience. Seeing this, Bai's son finally rushed over to take some fruits and a piece of cake at the speed of light. "I happened to be hungry too. I was brought over without breakfast."
Gu Liang: "..."
"Okay. You are a man, eat some dessert, take a good rest, and don't be afraid. What you have to do now is to organize your thoughts and think about how to keep yourself alive."
Yang Ye patted Son Bai on the shoulder, and finally said something human.
Afterwards, he turned his head and took another look at Gu Liang before leaving.
The room was finally quiet.
Gu Liang sat for a while, got up and walked to the bedside table, opened the drawer with insulin, thinking about the next operation.
The script only asked him to take insulin, but he didn't know many things, such as how much he should take, and how long it would take for Boss Bai to die after taking insulin.
The lack of such information will affect Gu Liang's judgment on whether he is the real murderer.
So, Gu Liang continued to rummage in the house.
Soon he found a piece of paper under his pillow, which seemed to be faxed.
It read: "Lawyer Zhang, what I give you is a new oral insulin independently developed by me. People without diabetes who take 3mg will immediately dizzy, convulse, and go into shock, and die after 30 minutes. Please use it with caution.—from Like to Engage developed doctors."
It turns out that's how the game is played.
Relevant clues and evidence should not only be found by oneself, but also prevented from being found by others.
Gu Liang rummaged through boxes and cabinets, found a lighter, and decided to burn the piece of paper.
Not only did he have to burn this piece of paper, but he also had to burn the box with the words "insulin" written on it after he finished poisoning.
At that time, if Boss Bai was really killed by insulin, he won't find any relevant evidence here.
Unexpectedly, Gu Liang just burned a corner of the paper, and the radio suddenly rang.
"The following is a report on the emergency. Lawyer Zhang tried to destroy the evidence—"
Gu Liang frowned, quickly realized what happened, threw the piece of paper on the ground, stomped on it, and put out the fire.
The broadcast paused for a moment, then continued: "Unsuccessful."
Gu Liang: "..."
Broadcast: "Lawyer Zhang's behavior triggers a reminder: Regarding the evidence that may point to himself as the murderer, everyone can think of any way to hide it, but it cannot be destroyed, otherwise it will be regarded as a violation and will receive terrible punishment!"
