Live Action Murder Mystery

Chapter 44: Fifth person (1)

Views:

"Have you ever heard such a story? A female college student and her boyfriend joined the expedition team and went to the snow-capped mountains for adventure. One day, the female college student broke her leg and couldn't continue with the big team, so she stayed in the camp. The people in the big team were originally planned to return to the camp in three days. But the female college students waited for five days, and no one returned."

"Until the sixth day, the female college student finally waited for her teammates to return. But her boyfriend was missing. The teammates told her with regret that they encountered an avalanche and her boyfriend had passed away. The female college student was very sad. This At that moment, her boyfriend suddenly appeared."

"The boyfriend held the female college student's hand, tried to take her away, and said to her, 'We did encounter an avalanche, but I was the one who lived, not them, you were deceived, and everyone in front of you except me It's a ghost, run for your life with me!'"

"The question is, if you were this female college student, would you choose to trust your boyfriend or your other teammates?"

"This is a ghost story that has been circulated on [Huilong Snow Mountain] in recent years. According to legend, climbers who come here often encounter a white ghost, and this ghost will always ask them, 'Why do you believe them? ?Why don't you trust me? I'm the one you love the most!'”

"Welcome to the script "The Fifth Person". Your name is [Liu Kanyan], and [Dr. The treasure of [Seven-Colored Crystal], those who find it will gain happiness. You are not here for the crystal, but you also hope to be lucky enough to see such a legendary treasure.”

"Today is March 9th, and it snowed again last night, so the four of you are temporarily staying in the camp and plan to decide the next move depending on the weather conditions."

"Script difficulty: two stars. There are no friendly reminders in this script, I wish you a happy game!"

After carefully reading the contents of the first two pages of the card, Gu Liang let out a breath, rubbed his hands, and wrapped his down jacket tightly.

He is very afraid of the cold. After drawing this script, he was directly sent to this tent on the snow mountain in a sedan chair by the man in black. For a moment, he only felt that his brain was frozen stiff together with his body, and he could hardly even think. Get dull.

Gu Liang had heard the ghost story at the beginning of the script this time.

When I was in college, after the dormitory lights were turned off, the boys would sometimes lie in bed and tell ghost stories.

At that time, Gu Liang heard a similar story from his roommate.

But the special feature of this script is that, apart from using the ghost story as an introduction and briefly explaining the background, there is nothing left.

Fortunately, the last script also talked about the setting of time reset. This time, it is reversed. Whether the story is realistic or fantasy-oriented, such as whether there are ghosts or not, is not mentioned in the script at all.

Speaking of ghosts...

Gu Liang wrapped his clothes tighter.

Based on certain childhood shadows, he is actually a little afraid of ghosts.

If Yang Ye found out, he would have to make fun of him again.

Fortunately he was not there.

Gu Liang put away the plot card and took out another reward card instead.

- There are three words written on the top: "help card".

This is the side mission reward that Gu Liang got from the last script.

Holding the reward card in his left hand, Gu Liang slid the fingertips of his right hand, and the screen suddenly lit up.

There are two lines on the top: "[Help Card] How to use, click on the avatar of the player you want to ask for help, and press the 'Confirm' button; each script can only be bound to one person for help, after the first selection and confirmation, It cannot be replaced; the card can be used three times; the way to seek help is to call. After selecting the person for help for the first time, the call button can be turned on."

His eyes slid down, and below the text were the heads of the players, all of whom Gu Liang met while playing the first three scripts.

Yang Ye was in the third position in the first row.

Gu Liang's gaze stayed on his profile picture for a moment, and he put away the reward card.

It was so cold that Gu Liang couldn't help sneezing, and someone next to him handed him a tissue.

Gu Liang thanked her, took the paper towel and wiped it, looked up, and saw that the person sitting next to her was a girl, about twenty-five or six years old.

Seeing Gu Liang looking over, the girl took the initiative to say: "Hello, in this script, I am [Doctor Xu], and I am in charge of investigating the health of everyone in the team. The two next to me are [Professor Wang] and [Li Xuexue]. So, you are [Liu Kan]?"

Gu Liang nodded, and looked at the seat opposite her. Professor Wang was a man, about fifty or sixty years old, with a young face, but his hair was completely white, and he looked easy to get along with.

Next to him is Li Xuexue, a young man of the same age as Dr. Geng Xu, with high cheekbones, a serious expression, and a rather aloof look.

After sizing up the two players, Gu Liang looked at Dr. Xu beside him again.

I only heard her say again: "The three of us know each other, and we have been together in several scripts before. We discussed it just now, and we want to go outside the tent together to see, do you want to go together?"

Speaking of this, probably feeling that Gu Liang was too indifferent, Dr. Xu added: "Look, there are only four players in this script, if there is a detective and a deceased among the four, then the real culprit is the remaining two players." One of them, with a 1/2 probability, it is possible for Luanmeng to be right. But the difficulty of the script is two stars, which is quite strange. In short, I think it is more beneficial for everyone not to be on guard against each other at the beginning, and to explore together first. "

"Well, it's okay, I just feel too cold. Let's go outside and have a look together."

Just as Gu Liang replied, the radio rang: "Welcome to the script "The Fifth Person". Considering that the players were directly taken to the snow camp, the system provided a period of rest for the players to adjust and adapt. The severe cold climate here. Now the rest time is over, and the drama will officially begin.”

"On October 10, 2X19, the four members of the expedition team went to a cave at 10:00 am. It is now 9:30 am, and there is still 30 minutes left. The system has a special questioning session, and players can ask questions. Everyone There is only one chance. After 30 minutes, please follow the map directions to the cave.”

Doctor Xu stood up first.

She tied a ponytail, looking young and capable.

Since the system broadcast sound came from all directions, Dr. Xu didn't know where to ask, so he changed several directions. In this way, when she speaks, every time she turns in a direction, the ponytail will swing slightly with the movement of the head, making the whole person look bright and charming.

Dr. Xu asked: "Are there really only four of us this time? Excluding the deceased and the detective, there are only two ordinary players left."

After a pause of three seconds, the system replied: "It is beyond the range that the system can answer. Next."

Li Keke, who looked serious, followed up and said, "So how long will this script last? This is related to how long we will stay on the snow mountain. It's too cold."

System: "Out of range for the system to answer. Next."

On the side, fifty-year-old Professor Wang couldn't help but sneered: "Then what questions can you answer?"

System: "Out of range for the system to answer. Next."

Is this TM a problem

Dr. Xu: "..."

Li Xuexue: "..."

Professor Wang:"… "

In the end, all three people turned their gazes to Gu Liang.

Everyone has only one chance to ask questions, and their chances have been exhausted, so they can only pin their hopes on Gu Liang to see if he can ask anything.

Under the eager gaze of everyone, Gu Liang spoke calmly, and asked lightly: "Can I have some more energy bars? I feel that there is not enough food here, and you don't want to starve the players to death?"

What kind of problem is this

Dr. Xu: "..."

Li Xuexue: "..."

Professor Wang:"… "

After a while, the system replied: "According to the system analysis, the food supply does not affect the development of the plot, so it can be provided. However, the budget of each script is limited. Only one more box will be provided."

Following the system's words, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and two men in black came in carrying a box of energy bars.

Putting down the energy bar, the men in black opened the curtain and left together.

System: "The time for questioning is over, please follow the script and act."

Gu Liang took out the card and swiped it, and the map page already had a clear landmark display, and there was a cave 800 meters ahead of the camp. After putting away the cards, several people checked their equipment and went out together.

The equipment provided by the system is complete, including helmets, headlamps, goggles, sunscreen, sunscreen lipstick, etc. Everyone wears professional clothes. From inside to outside, sweat-wicking underwear, down jackets, and jackets are enough to keep out the cold.

But even so, for those who climbed the snow mountain for the first time, walking is still very difficult.

Dr. Xu stepped out of the tent with a trekking pole, but his foot sank into the snow and almost fell down.

On the side, Li Kexue, a young and cold man, quickly supported her so that she didn't fall down.

Gu Liang also has no relevant experience, and he is very cold and walks very slowly.

Professor Wang, the oldest, became the one who walked most freely.

He turned his head to look at everyone, his eyes looked down on all sentient beings, and there was a little bit of disdain in his eyes. "Tsk, you young people, don't you always stay up late? Not as good as an old man like me!"

Li Xuexue probably belonged to the cold and thin-skinned type. Hearing this, he couldn't hold back his face, and his expression became even colder.

As the only girl, Dr. Xu was not hypocritical. Without the help of Li Xuexue, she tried her best to walk a few steps by herself, gradually adapted, and gradually could keep up with the team.

She smiled at Professor Wang and said, "Did you often participate in such activities in the real world before you were old? It looks like you are a professional."

Professor Wang replied: "That's true. No matter how busy you are before, you always take a vacation to go mountaineering in a year. Looking at all the small mountains... You can't understand the state of mind."

After Professor Wang finished speaking, he looked around again.

He found that Gu Liang was the first to adapt to snow walking, and he was almost catching up with him.

Li Xuexue was slower to adapt, and he turned his head to wait for Dr. Xu from time to time, gradually widening the gap with Gu Liang.

I don't know what came to mind, Professor Wang shook his head and said: "If you want me to say, these young men are not as generous and cheerful as women, one and two are boring gourds."

Li Kexue, the boring gourd No. 1, climbed the mountain silently without saying a word.

Gourd No. 2 Gu Liang didn't say anything, he just turned his head and glanced down the mountain.

At this point, he took out the card and compared it with the map.

According to the map, their camp was built near the middle of the mountain. Along the campsite, one kilometer down the mountain, there is a base camp in the snow mountain, where there is enough energy supply. The vehicles of their expedition team are also parked at the base camp.

There was no way up from the base camp, and the car couldn't drive up, so the expedition team carried their bags, set up camp near the mountainside, and started exploring on foot.

Although there is a base camp on the map, Gu Liang looked at it, but he couldn't actually see it.

Below the camp, there is a toilet-like building, and further down, there is the familiar thick fog.

It seems that the map of this script is not big, and the so-called base camp is not within the scope of exploration.

Having figured it out in his mind, he withdrew his gaze, and Gu Liang continued to climb up the mountain.

The journey was not far away, and the outline of the cave they were going to was already faintly visible at this time.

The cave they were going to was located halfway up the mountain, the entrance of the cave was covered with snow, and the place facing it was a cliff, which looked spectacular and quite dangerous.

For some reason, Gu Liang's heart suddenly sank after just looking at it like this, his whole body stopped, and even his breathing seemed to be a little difficult for a while.

After a while, Dr. Xu walked up to him and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Gu Liang shook his head, squinted his eyes and looked halfway up the mountain again, the dull feeling in his heart reappeared.

But he couldn't explain this feeling similar to the sixth sense, so he could only say, "Maybe there is some lack of oxygen."

Doctor Xu hurriedly asked: "Do you need an oxygen cylinder? Let's go after a rest? The script only specifies the departure time, but not the arrival time."

Li Xuexue, who arrived later, finally said, "Didn't he say that it's all right, let's go on."

Dr. Xu frowned and looked at Li Xuexue: "Don't always be so mean. At least when the script was first performed, I felt that all the players were teammates and friends. If everyone was too antagonistic at the beginning, it would be difficult to reason later. continue."

Li Kexue gave Gu Liang a disdainful look: "Teammates should also find reliable ones. What questions do you think he asked? Food? Funny."

Tsk, it's really rare to see someone meaner than me.

Gu Liang raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything for the time being.

"I think Liu Kan must have some special considerations when he asked that question?" Dr. Xu was trying to smooth things over.

Gu Liang glanced past the two of them lightly, and replied: "There is no special consideration."

Gu Liang's words were a bit of a refutation of face, and Dr. Xu was stunned.

Li Xuexue gave her a look of "you see and I say".

Gu Liang ignored the two people, turned around and continued walking forward with trekking poles. "Hurry up, I'm fine."

The three of them took a lot of time, and Professor Wang, the oldest, had already reached the entrance of the cave.

At this moment, he turned around to face the crowd, his face was pale, as if he had been frightened.

Dr. Xu realized something was wrong, and tried to get closer to Professor Wang with big strides. "What's wrong? What's in there?"

"Corpse... corpse frozen into ice..." Professor Wang let go of the trekking pole and let it fall to the ground, then he raised his hand and made a number, "Three... there are three corpses inside!"

The three walked along the path on the side of the cave, and walked slowly to the entrance of the cave, sticking to the stone wall outside the cave.

Not far from the entrance of the cave is a cliff.

Everyone is so cautious, naturally to avoid accidentally falling off the cliff.

When he walked to the entrance of the cave, Gu Liang glanced behind him. Under the cliff not far away, the sky was white and the sky and the earth were the same color. It was hard to tell which was snow and which was the murderous mist used to prevent the player's coat around the script site.

Withdrawing his gaze, Gu Liang walked into the entrance of the cave, and saw the three frozen corpses that Professor Wang was talking about.

On the far left are two corpses embracing each other.

The two corpses were the closest to Gu Liang, so he walked to the two corpses first, squatted down, and looked at them carefully.

I don't know when and what month these three people died, but because they were all frozen, their bodies were intact and their appearances were the same as before.

Among the two corpses, one of them was a petite girl with a beautiful face and soft features, which was a very standard beauty appearance.

A male corpse next to her was about the same age as her, with a regular appearance, a short hair, and a wide face. He hugged the girl in front of him tightly, as if he was very reluctant to leave her like this.

After seeing the two corpses, Gu Liang turned his attention to the third male corpse.

The third male corpse was about five meters away. He leaned against the stone wall and died facing the direction of the two of them. I don't know what he was thinking when he looked at them.

Gu Liang didn't see what he looked like right now, but Professor Wang in front of him sighed: "I'll go, this boy looks really good-looking, let me tell you, he's much prettier than many female stars."

"This... This man is indeed too good-looking."

Dr. Xu walked up to the corpse and looked it over carefully. After she couldn't help sighing, she seemed to even raise her hand to touch the corpse.

But for some reason, she withdrew her hand in time, and said in a low voice, "These corpses are NPCs found by the system? They were living people before, right? If he really died like this... What a pity."

With a little curiosity, Gu Liang also walked a few steps closer and looked at the corpse up close.

I have to admit, his looks are amazing.

The two corpses of a man and a woman next to them had their eyes closed, and so did this person.

His face was calm, his back was leaning against the mountain wall, his eyes were gently closed, and he seemed to be asleep.

His thick black eyebrows were whitened by frost, and his white and tall nose bridge was frozen almost transparent with his skin. His facial features were so delicate that the frozen appearance was a bit like a painting.

It seems that one day he will break through the ice, and he will come out of the painting.

For a moment, even Gu Liang was stunned.

But it's not because of how good-looking the person is. It was because Gu Liang knew him.

That was Gu Liang's high school classmate with a unique name, Mingyue.

At that time, the girls would look at him when they read "When the moon is bright like the moon" and "When will the moon shine on me" in Chinese class.

Amidst the uproar, Mingyue would hold up the book to hide her face, revealing a little red ears, probably blaming her parents for taking his name too literary, so that he was a bit of a second grader.

Mingyue was originally two years younger than Gu Liang, but because she was smart, she skipped two grades and became classmates with Gu Liang.

However, Gu Liang is not familiar with him, and he hasn't met him since graduation, and they are ordinary classmates who occasionally send emails to each other.

Mingyue went abroad after graduating from high school, and then had an accident while snorkeling on a certain island.

In this way, after many years of separation, when Gu Liang saw him again, it was at his funeral.

When attending the funeral, Gu Liang followed the group of relatives and friends and placed a bouquet of flowers beside his corpse.

The appearance of his corpse is almost the same as now.

This made Gu Liang feel strangely perverted.

—Why do people who die in reality become NPCs in the game

Is the real scene some kind of carefully forged conspiracy and illusion

Gu Liang didn't have time to think deeply.

At this moment, the cards of the four people vibrated.

The system sent a public plot: "The expedition team found three corpses in the cave. After searching, they found their remains. Considering that the cave may collapse at any time. After discussion, the expedition team decided to take the remains of the three college students , The relics were brought back to the camp to be placed, and after going down the mountain, they went to the police to let the police investigate the cause of their deaths."

The four players present couldn't help but look at each other after reading the cards, and their expressions were not particularly good.

Even if they have played multiple scripts and are trained to face the corpse without changing their face, it does not mean that they can accept the intimate contact with the corpse by hugging or carrying them until the time to carry them to the camp Location.

After a while, everyone still acted. Gu Liang was in charge of one corpse, Li Xuexue was in charge of one, and the older Professor Wang and the only girl, Dr. Xu, were in charge of one corpse.

The four worked together to divide and cooperate, and moved the corpse to the entrance of the cave first.

The next thing is a bit difficult. After all, the frozen body is too heavy, and the cave is facing the cliff not far away. If you walk with the body on your back, you will slide down if you are not careful.

Professor Wang rubbed his waist, bowed his body and looked at the camp below the mountain. "I remember there are snow chains in the camp? Let's go back and get them, do a good job of protection, and then slowly carry the corpse..."

"Don't be so troublesome." Gu Liang bowed down and moved the corpse he was in charge of—his high school classmate Mingyue's.

Gu Liang moved the corpse in a direction, facing the camp with his head down, and then he grabbed the corpse's feet and pushed the corpse to the camp.

Their camp was only eight hundred miles away from the cave, and the slope here was quite steep, the corpse slipped on the ice and snow, and it really slipped into the camp steadily.

After finishing all this, Gu Liang returned to the cave and looked at the bags half buried in the snow.

These are the bags scattered around the corpse, there are four in total.

This is the corpse relic mentioned in the public plot. They checked just now, except for these four bags, there is nothing else in the cave.

Gu Liang picked up two bags, checked the equipment, including shoes and goggles, ignored the stunned teammates behind him, picked up the trekking poles and went to the camp.

Before leaving, Gu Liang only left one sentence: "The remaining two bags are handed over to you. As for moving the corpse, if you want to follow my method, just be careful—don't hit me."

Dr. Xu: "..."

Li Xuexue: "..."

Professor Wang:"… "
