When Li Xuexue said this, he was stunned. "Uh... Don't tell me, there may really be two grasses."

"It is written in my script that Xiaocao, as the school grass, not only has a good-looking face, but also has very good grades. The most surprising thing is that he is very energetic."

Li Kexue said, "He is a top student in the Department of Chemistry, but he has a double degree, and the other degree is literature that has nothing to do with chemistry. His classes are almost full. Speech competitions, basketball games, literature salons... He has everything. participating."

"After the adventure with us, not long after returning to school, he was able to submit high-quality papers to journals. I don't know when he wrote it..."

The more Li Kexue talked, the more excited he became.

In addition, there are some plots about Xiaocao that he didn't pay much attention to before. He couldn't remember clearly, so he immediately took out the card and checked it carefully.

After reading the cards, Li Kexue said: "There is one more detail. The boys in our adventure team all like Xiaohua, so they are all my rivals in love. I pay attention to them. I find Xiaocao a bit strange , I bumped into him several times in the library, he ignored me at all, just looked down at the chemistry books, his eyes were very gloomy and dark."

"But when I told Xiaohua about this, Xiaohua denied my judgment, saying that in the library, Xiaocao might just be doing the questions seriously, so she ignored her friends. In Xiaohua's eyes, Xiaocao is a person He has always been a sunny boy, and he has nothing to do with darkness."

"There is nothing else. My script is very long. Xiaohua, Xiaodong and so on have a lot of descriptions about them. So I didn't think too much at the time. I thought Xiaocao was a double-faced person who pretended to be cheerful in front of girls. In front of us, it's very gloomy. Now it seems... It's not that he's pretending, but there are really two people."

After Li Xuexue finished speaking, he took a big sip of water.

Gu Liang looked at him silently for a long time, and said, "At present, there should be no fantasy setting in this script. There is no way to talk about sci-fi setting, so there are no replicants. Then, maybe there are twins? I just don't know. For some reason, the two brothers share the identity of 'Xiaocao'."

Li Kexue swallowed the saliva and nodded: "Well, maybe they are twins."

Professor Wang also became interested in this story, and said: "Is that possible? The person who can attack four students at once must be the one who looks dark, that is, the one who studies chemistry. We put him It's called the dark grass."

"The other sunny and lively one is called Sunshine Xiaocao. He studies literature. Those who join the adventure team and like Xiaohua are all Sunshine Xiaocao."

"It should be good like this."

Gu Liang looked at Li Xuexue again, "Let's talk about the things you came here three years ago in detail. For example, what happened before you entered the cave. When you were exploring, were the grasses in the team sunny or dark?" of."

Li Xuexue raised his head and drank the other half bottle of mineral water, and began to narrate.

"It is said that the colorful crystals on Huilong Snow Mountain are hidden in caves. If you find the crystals, you will reap happiness. We found the cave in the evening. Everyone was very excited, but the vision is not good at night. If something happens, we can ask for help." It was inconvenient, so we returned to the camp, planning to sleep overnight and go back early the next morning. These are exactly as described in the Xiaodong diary you found."

"Early the next morning, we went to the cave and used all the air detectors. The air in the cave was fine, so we dared to go in."

"Ah, by the way, I forgot to mention one detail. When I woke up in the morning, I found that Xiaocao had already woken up. I thought it was strange, because he usually likes to sleep in. I went to cook porridge outside the tent and asked him to eat. When he didn't eat, he also ignored me, as if he didn't know me, and returned to a gloomy state."

Hearing this, Gu Liang asked: "What about the front? Before this night, when you explored, how was Xiaocao?"

Li Xuexue said: "The script didn't specifically mention it, but I think it means that my character didn't find any abnormalities at the time, and the grass at that time was a sunny grass."

Gu Liangdao: "That is to say, the person who went up with you to explore the mountain before was always Sunshine Xiaocao. The night after you found the cave, when you were sleeping in the camp, while you were asleep, the two Xiaocao didn't know why. The reason was changed. So the next morning, the person who entered the cave with you turned into a dark grass?"

"Yes. It should be so good."

Li Xuexue said, "That morning, not long after entering the cave, the situation was wrong. The dark grass was the first to faint. After he fainted, Xiaohua and Xiaodong fainted one after another. I just wanted to ask them, but I also fainted. When I woke up, everyone was still fainting. I ran out and called for help."

"The current base camp is only 1,000 meters away from our temporary camp. It was different three years ago. I ran for more than ten kilometers and was close to the foot of the mountain before I found the base camp. When the staff was preparing to go to the cave with me to rescue them, There's an avalanche."

Professor Wang asked suspiciously: "Then according to this, the one who died in the cave was the dark grass, and the one who killed was the sunny grass?"

"Then how do you vote?"

"Will there be an option for a twin brother and a younger brother? How do we know whether to vote for the elder brother or the younger brother?"

Gu Liang fell silent, picked up a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and took a few sips.

Then he put down the bottle and said, "Since the script didn't give any more information, I think when we vote, we can just vote for Xiaocao. The shared identity of the two brothers is Xiaocao."

"You mean, there won't be many NPCs we don't know, or the words brother and brother?" Professor Wang was still a little worried.

Gu Liang shook his head: "There are no other clues in the script, so you just need to cast Xiaocao. Why did the two brothers share identities, why did one of them kill someone, and did they have any entanglements with Xiaohua... These stories are not in the interpretation of the plot itself, so it is very important to find them." The real murderer actually has no effect, so don’t worry about it.”

There is still plenty of time left for the concentrated discussion. Through Li Xuexue's specific narration of the events of the year, the four of them together made the logic of the whole process of the script smooth.

Three years ago, four college students from the "I'm Super Awesome" university went on an adventure together.

Among them, Xiaocao, Xiaohua, and Xiaoyuan are all senior students, and Xiaodong is a junior.

But they didn't know that there was actually a little grass following them secretly.

For some unknown purpose, the twins shared the same name and identity—Xiaocao.

The day after they climbed Huilong Snow Mountain and found the cave, four college students entered the cave and were stunned.

The person who stunned them was one of the twin Xiaocao.

Due to Xiaoyuan's tolerance to anesthetics, she woke up early and escaped.

Then a small avalanche occurred, and heavy snow blocked the entrance of the cave, causing three people to die in the cave.

As a result, one of the two Xiaocao killed two classmates and one of his own brothers.

After escaping, Madoka went to the base camp at the foot of the mountain and found the staff, but the staff were unable to carry out the rescue under such circumstances.

After that, the staff may not have called the police because of their irresponsibility.

After Madoka calmed down, she didn't dare to tell anyone the truth.

Four people went to explore, and only one of them survived. He was afraid of being misunderstood as a murderer.

So after returning, he only told his teachers, classmates, and Xiaohua's parents that everyone got separated, and he didn't know where the other three went.

Even when the parents called the police and everyone searched the mountain together, Madoka deliberately pointed in the wrong direction.

Huilong Snow Mountain is very large, composed of countless small peaks, and some sections are very difficult and dangerous.

Coupled with Madoka's misleading, everyone never found the body.

But in fact, for the past three years, Madoka still felt guilty.

After graduation, he took the road of geological research and changed his name to Li Xuexue.

On this day three years later, when he learned that the research institute organized personnel to go back to Longxue Mountain for investigation, Li Kexue applied to join and became a member of the expedition team. He wanted to make up for his cowardice back then. Who is the murderer who killed the three classmates

And for the past three years, the real murderer, Xiaocao, has been walking back to Longxue Mountain. There are rumors of ghosts, and she often pretends to be ghosts to scare people, just to prevent people from approaching this cave, and then found three corpses.

Xiaocao didn't expect that three years later, a team of four would find the cave again and wanted to transport the corpse away.

So he made the trick of disappearing the camp, imitating ghosts asking people "Do you believe me or not", just to make them really think there are ghosts here, and he wants to scare them away.

But Xiaocao failed.

The four members of the expedition team were not intimidated and chose to take the corpse away.

The three corpses have been frozen for three years. If they are taken to the police station, the drug ingredients in their bodies may still be detected, and everything the real murderer did back then will be revealed.

So Xiaocao decided to burn the body.

On this day, he observed Liu Kanan and Professor Wang going to the toilet, so he ambush outside the toilet, and first stunned the two of them.

He did this for two reasons. First, both of them were stunned, and it was impossible to confirm whether the other party had an alibi. Both of them had the opportunity to commit crimes, so that they could suspect each other when the time came; second, to prevent this The two returned to camp, lest they spoil their next plan.

After fainting the two people, Xiaocao observed that Li Xuexue went to the direction of the cave alone, so he fainted Li Xuexue halfway.

He recognized Li Xuexue as Xiaoyuan, and he had learned from the past, so he increased the dose so that Li Xuexue could faint for a longer time.

After that, Xiaocao returned to the camp, stunned Dr. Xu, and took her to a relatively safe place so that she would not be injured by the explosion. In this way, everyone will suspect that the fire may have been set by Li Xuexue.

The preparations for the preliminary work were completed here, and Xiaocao sprinkled alcohol on the three corpses and set them on fire.

Before leaving, he also took three energy bars from the box because he needed food.

When he left, he took the road to the cave, and when he passed by the fainted Li Xuexue, he threw the used medicine bottle near him, also for the purpose of setting blame.

The story can be sorted out smoothly, and there are basically no major flaws.

Gu Liang squeezed the empty mineral water bottle with his fingers, and the sound was especially crisp in the open snow.

After a long time, Gu Liang said: "Although I still don't know what the story behind it is. But the real murderer killed his brother, but he also killed himself in disguise. They share a social identity. He wiped out Xiaocao , and he cannot return to his original campus to continue his life.”

"He didn't die, he wasn't a ghost, but he lived like a lonely ghost on this snow mountain."

"And I always feel... Maybe he didn't burn the body because he was afraid of the police."

Gu Liang thought for a while, and then said, "Since he can no longer return to society as Xiaocao, he pretends to be a ghost on the snow mountain every day to scare people... His life has actually been ruined. Such a person, shouldn't be afraid that he will be regarded as a The murderer was caught by the police. His life couldn't have been worse."

Gu Liang really mentioned the key point.

The wind was getting stronger now, and several players present wrapped their clothes tightly again.

It was really hard for them to imagine the real murderer's life in the past three years—wandering in the cold mountains, when he met lonely explorers or tourists, he would pretend to be a ghost to scare them.

When the tourists fled, it might be too late to take away the tents and other equipment. The real murderer took these things for himself and used the food they left behind to survive.

He is pretending to be a ghost, not a real ghost, but he has been staying on the snow mountain like this for three years, so there is no difference between him and the lonely ghost wandering on the mountain.

After Gu Liang said this, no one spoke again for a long time.

Until Professor Wang's brain opened, he suddenly clapped his hands.

The high-fives broke the silence in the mountains, and Professor Wang said, "I know! Both little grasses like little flowers!"

"Anyway, Xiaohua's character design is a heartthrob. Let me use an analogy, assuming that the elder brother is a sunny grass, and the younger brother is a dark grass. In the eyes of the younger brother, the elder brother, Xiaodong and Xiaoyuan, everyone likes Xiaohua. My younger brother simply took advantage of the opportunity they came to Snow Mountain to plan to kill all the rivals in love. Next time...he also killed Xiaohua."

"Isn't there a perverted feeling that if you can't get it, then just kill it?"

Professor Wang continued to make up his mind: "So, my brother not only killed his love rival, but also his beloved Xiaohua. After that, he doesn't plan to return to a normal life. He is lingering on the snow mountain. He has been guarding the snow mountain and never leaving. Just to accompany the dead body of my lover every day... "

"Ah, by the way, Liu Kan just said that he didn't burn the corpse this time because he was afraid of the police. Then he must have felt that...he couldn't hold his lover's corpse anymore, so he just burned it on fire, and it's over."

Professor Wang was suddenly inspired and thought like a spring, and this brain hole stunned the other three players.

Gu Liang was also stunned for a while, before he said: "Yes, what you said is a train of thought, a possibility."

Professor Wang showed joy on his face. "I still have decades more social experience than you. I have read many reports about such a perverted person."

"Well. If the murderer in the script is really like this..."

As if he couldn't find a suitable adjective for a while, Gu Liang paused, and then continued, "I really want to see who wrote this script."

Gu Liang yawned, nothing happened anyway, took off his gloves, grabbed the snow on the ground, and couldn't help but shiver from the cold.

Withdrawing his hand, he put on the thick gloves again, and went through the plot in his mind again.

He frowned, and couldn't help saying: "Wait, no..."

Professor Wang was a little nervous. "Ah? There won't be another turning point, right? Isn't Xiaocao the murderer?"

"The murderer is Xiaocao. I'm just saying that there is something wrong with the story you just imagined."

Gu Liang looked at Professor Wang and said, "Li Xuexue said that in Xiaohua's impression, Xiaocao has always been sunny. Therefore, the person who came into contact with Xiaohua in the adventure team has always been Sunshine Xiaocao. The dark one has not been in contact with Xiaohua. Yes. So I don't think that the dark grass likes little flowers."

"Then this means..." Professor Wang hesitated.

Gu Liang took his words. "If the real culprit is my younger brother, his thoughts may be what you said - kill him if he can't get it. After killing him, he will spend his life with his corpse like this. It's just... the person my younger brother wants to accompany is probably not Xiao Hua is his older brother."

"The two brothers grew up dependent on each other and even shared the same name. Now the elder brother has fallen in love with a girl and plans to be with her as soon as he graduates. The younger brother may not accept it."

"The opposite is also true. If the murderer is the elder brother, it means that the elder brother cannot accept that the younger brother will be with Xiaohua."

"Fuck." Professor Wang said, "Then the murderer of this script will be even more perverted."

"Indeed." Gu Liang nodded, "After the end, let's read the story sent by the system and restore it."

Throughout the discussion, Dr. Xu tried to intervene several times, but she was ignored.

Even she kept staring at Li Kexue several times, and Li Kexue also met her gaze, but soon he looked away, as if he didn't want to communicate with her.

At this moment, all the discussions that should be discussed are over. Gu Liang closed his eyes and rested his mind. Professor Wang was next to him trying to find a topic for an awkward chat. Dr. Xu couldn't sit still and walked up to Li Xuexue. "Shall we chat?"

When Professor Wang heard this, his face was still directed at Gu Liang, and his gossiping eyes had turned to Dr. Xu.

Li Kexue still chose to chat with Dr. Xu, and walked a distance with her before sitting down.

But this time, he obviously didn't deliberately lower his voice, so Gu Liang and Professor Wang basically heard what he said to Dr. Xu.

Dr. Xu: "I didn't intend to suspect you as the murderer. It's just that in our common timeline, you asked me to help you examine the corpse or something privately. It seemed like you were concealing the evidence, so I... plus …”

Li Xuexue: "I have already explained it to you. It was not my fault that the three of them died back then, but later I was afraid that I would bring disaster to myself, so it was my fault that I did not let their families find the bodies. This incident This incident is a stain on my life, so I don't want others to know that I am the Madoka who escaped back then, and I don't want to talk to the police more."

"But out of guilt, I still want to investigate how they died privately, so I want you, a doctor, to help me conduct a private examination. Besides, I was almost killed back then. I can't sleep peacefully without knowing this matter .”

Dr. Xu: "I know. At that time... maybe it was too cold here, and my brain was frozen. You will think that I..."

Li Xuexue: "These are not important. The important thing is that you don't trust me. It is a great risk for me to tell you the side mission, because it may make everyone think that I am the real culprit. After all, Madoka The only survivor is very suspicious. I was on guard against Professor Wang and Mr. Liu, but not you. Unexpectedly, the person who doesn’t believe me the most is you.”

Dr. Xu: "Sorry, I..."

Li Kexue was silent for a moment and said, "It's okay, it's not important anymore."

"You mean... don't you mind?"

"Well. Don't mind."

Dr. Xu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, "Then I'm relieved."

"I don't mind. It's just that I understand one thing. It's been my wishful thinking all along, so I disturbed you."

Li Xuexue stood up and walked towards where Gu Liang and Professor Wang were.

Dr. Xu's breath was stuck in her throat, and her face was completely pale.

On the other side, Professor Wang couldn't help sighing to Gu Liang in a low voice: "I've figured it out. In the previous few scripts, Dr. Xu treated Li Xuexue well. Probably Li Xuexue has the best conditions among those people. In this script, she saw that you were handsome and wanted to curry favor with you, so she sold Li Kexue again. Now that she offended Li Xuexue, she went to make up for it... It turns out that Dr. Xu is green tea."

Seeing that Gu Liang didn't respond, Professor Wang asked, "Hey, do you know what green tea is?"

Gu Liang: "Green tea? Did you drink tea?"

Professor Wang: "Actually, you are eighty years old, twenty years older than me, right?"

Gu Liang: "Oh, I remembered, you said that, I saw it, searched it. It means..."

Professor Wang interrupted him: "They're back. Don't talk about it. Cough cough, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

Gu Liang: "..."

After Dr. Xu and Li Kexue came back, the atmosphere was tense, and everyone fell into silence.

Gu Liang continued to close his eyes and meditate. Li Kexue hung his head and said nothing. Dr. Xu played with his fingers. The most unrestrained one was Professor Wang. He was bored anyway, so he simply built a snowman.

When the 5 hours of intensive discussion was about to pass, Li Xuexue walked up to Gu Liang. "I want to say a few words to you."

Gu Liang was a little surprised. "Um."

Li Xuexue's voice was a little hoarse. "I... had a bad attitude towards you before. Why are you willing to help me? No, I know, you don't mean to help me, you just want to find the truth. Anyway, I still want to thank you."

Gu Liang: "I really don't count as helping you."

Li Xuexue: "..."

Gu Liang: "So far, we don't know who the detective is. Maybe the system will announce the existence of the detective a moment before the vote. If this detective falls on me and you vote randomly, then I will be cold." .”

Li Kexue blinked twice and asked, "Is it cold?"

Gu Liang: "Ah, it means dead. I only found out not long ago. A friend told me."

"What are you talking about? I've heard the song "Cool and Cool" before."

Professor Wang interjected, "My granddaughter watches that TV series every day."

Gu Liang: "..."

Concentration time is over.

The system announcement sounded on time.

"The script case of "The Fifth Man" is coming to an end, and we will enter the voting stage."

"There are two rounds of voting this time. The first round is about side missions."

"Among the members of the current expedition team, there is a person who used to be a college student at the 'I'm Super Powerful' university. He was also a member of the adventure team and has been to Longxue Mountain. Who is he? Please make a choice."

Gu Liang took out his card, and the heads of four players appeared on the voting page, including Gu Liang, Li Xuexue, Dr. Xu, and Professor Wang.

Gu Liang quickly clicked on "Li Xuexue".

in a minute.

The system continued: "Wow, all four players chose Li Xuexue, including Li Xuexue himself... Now I announce that Li Xuexue failed in the mission and could not get any rewards; the other three players succeeded in the mission and can get two draws." A chance to reward cards. Please come forward and let everyone draw cards."

After Gu Liang, Professor Wang, and Dr. Xu drew the reward cards in turn, the system continued: "Next is the second round of voting for the main task—three college students in the Mood for Love died tragically in the snow mountain. Who killed them so cruelly? ?”

"What happened three years ago was too far away, and the whereabouts of everyone present cannot be tracked. Therefore, there are no detectives in this case, and the four players are all suspects. Of course, the three college students who were present at the scene were also suspects. Alright, let's start voting now." ! The time limit for voting is one minute! I wish everyone a smooth vote!"

Gu Liang picked up the card. This time, there were seven avatars on the page. In addition to the four players present, three NPCs, Xiaohua, Xiaocao, and Xiaodong, were among them.

Gu Liang frowned slightly, but finally stretched out his finger and clicked on the portrait of "Xiaocao".

Voting is closed.

The broadcast sounded again.

"In the "Fifth Man" case, who is the real culprit who killed the three college students? Wow, one suspect won four votes. He is Xiaocao."

"Congratulations to everyone who voted correctly. Each person will get two gold coins!"

"A friendly reminder is attached at the end of the game. This script can also be called a hard environment experience book. Those who can come to this kind of script are usually evaluated as negative in the game in the previous script."

"The difficulty rating of this script is only level one. Please keep a positive attitude towards the game, otherwise you will enter a script with an even harsher environment later on. Earthquakes, tsunamis, and even the settings of doomsday zombies may be encountered. In such settings It is fixed, if the player is killed by a zombie attack, the player will really die."

"Okay, this game is over perfectly. Please wait for the man in black to transfer everyone to the public rest area. See you in the next script!"

game over.

Gu Liang sat on a sedan chair and was taken to the so-called public rest area.

On the way, Gu Liang recalled the last "friendly reminder" from the system.

According to the meaning of the system, in the last game, his performance was judged as "negative".

Gu Liang carefully recalled the situation at that time.

After confirming that he was the murderer, he tore off the page "Yang Ye said I was a hero" in the diary, and left a sentence, reminding him to burn the diary after amnesia, which means that he wanted to hide himself from the beginning. , he wants to win the game and survive.

But later, he was probably moved by Yang Ye's selflessness, and was touched by the story of Beggar Ding. After several struggles, he finally chose to give up the victory. He would rather die than bear human life.

Now that Gu Liang was taken to the snow mountain script, he still lay down in the snow all night, fully experiencing the harsh environment.

But his hard rating is only one level, probably because he played the game seriously at the beginning, and his subsequent performance was judged as negative.

But judging from the system's ratings, Yang Ye's behavior was even more negative, so he was sent to a more difficult environment to survive.

The so-called beating zombies is actually beating zombies.

According to the system, in that kind of scenario, if the player is killed by a zombie, the player will really die.

Yang Ye's rating is "more negative", which also means... Unlike Gu Liang, Gu Liang hesitated at the beginning, while Yang Ye almost never thought of winning from the beginning.

Gu Liang probably knew that Yang Ye's actions might only be based on the belief of soldiers. As he said, he will not give up on any of his comrades.

But thinking about this, Gu Liang was still quite touched.

After being moved, Gu Liang thought that although Yang Ye had served in the military for two years, he had never actually been on the battlefield after all. Gu Liang took out the help card and stared at Yang Ye's head portrait for a long time, inevitably feeling worried.

The author has something to say:

Explain two things:

1. Yeye and Liangliang will meet in the next chapter;

2. Mingyue is not a strong man.

Hahahaha, I laughed for a long time when I saw your attention.

Mingyue is not a strong man, no.

About 188 in height, nearly 1.9 meters, like this, muscular, lean, but not strong, 2333. The question is: beautiful and strong.
