After passing through the sunflowers and walking another 500 meters, the players came to one of the newly opened venues of the script—the West Street.
A silver-gray car was parked on the street.
It's the only thing that exists on Broad Street.
Gu Liang thought of something and asked Boss Mei. "In the first stage, when the murderer of the chef was shot, everyone talked about the timeline. You said at the time that you drove here at 8:30 in the morning. Is this your car?"
Boss Mei also had a strange expression on his face: "It's mine."
After saying this, he couldn't help walking to the car and pulling the door.
Strangely, he didn't use the car key, the door was already open.
Boss Mei couldn't help frowning: "I thought this car must have disappeared. Today is November 11th, and the day we came was November 9th. It was a vegetable garden that day, but now it has become a sunflower garden. Our The map is changing. What kind of world are we in?"
Yang Ye walked directly to the passenger seat and opened the car door with ease. "No matter what kind of world it is, the clues here should all come from the real world, but some come from 300 years ago, and some come from the present. Let's search for evidence first."
Yang Ye got into the co-pilot, while Gu Liang opened the back door and got in.
After sitting in the rear compartment, Gu Liang glanced out of the car window, and then saw Boss Mei and Sister Mei looking at each other outside the window, the eyes they exchanged clearly had deep meaning.
After a quick glance, Gu Liang retracted his gaze and looked at the rear seat, where there are all kinds of tools, knives, even guns, compasses, and some weird-shaped sticks.
Pull open the interlayer on the back of the front seat, and there are many spell books inside.
Before Gu Liang could take a closer look, he heard Li Xiaoyu's exclamation: "Corpse! The corpses of ladies and housekeepers! It's in the trunk!"
After Li Xiaoyu's voice fell, Gu Liang and Yang Ye got out of the car almost at the same time and walked to the trunk together.
The trunk was opened, and there was a foul smell from inside.
This is the stench from the two corpses that have been placed here for about three days.
Steward Hao had a gunshot wound to his chest, and he should have died from a gunshot wound. His body didn't look so ghastly.
Rong Mingyuan's health is even worse.
There was hardly a piece of intact skin on Rong Mingyuan's body.
Starting from the position between the eyebrows on her face, the knife marks spread all over her body.
It was as if someone used a knife to draw some kind of formation on her body. The knife drew strange symbols along her nasal bone, cheek... all the way down.
Her neck, chest and abdomen were scratched together with the material of her clothing. At this moment, the blood was all congealed into black, which looked very terrifying.
The worst scars so far appear to be on her wrists.
—There is a very deep knife mark there.
In the case of a severely decomposed corpse, the rotten flesh at the wound on her wrist had already fallen off, exposing the white bones, and her blood was the least in this place.
It was as if someone had deliberately cut an artery in her wrist and tried to drain her blood from it.
Li Xiaoyu had never looked at such a particularly miserable corpse, so he ran away immediately.
At this time, she was eight feet away, and said: "If you guys finish reading it... Please cover the trunk."
Li Xiaoyu didn't say anything, but the rest wanted to do the same.
After checking the corpse, everyone closed the trunk unanimously.
After a while, Yang Ye got back into the car, took out a few guns, got out of the car, and said, "During my military service, before my eyes were injured and my vision was impaired, my shooting performance was always good."
Speaking of this, Yang Ye looked at Boss Mei and Sister Mei: "But among the two, one of them is obviously much better at marksmanship than me."
Yang Ye removed the silencer and bullets installed on the gun very skillfully, and then said: "This is a sniper rifle. In actual combat, snipers rarely use silencers, because the silencer on the sniper rifle Installing a silencer will affect the trajectory of the bullet when it is ejected from the chamber. In this way, if it misses a hit, it will expose its target and be sniped by the enemy instead.”
"Outside of the battlefield, you don't need to worry about assassinating ordinary people with a sniper gun. Use a silencer to reduce the decibel, just to avoid attracting the attention of the rest of the castle's guests."
"But that means... this sniper is of a very high standard."
"The famous lady and the butler died at night. With poor vision at night and a sniper rifle equipped with a silencer, this person was able to hit Butler Hao in the heart with one shot and killed him with one shot. He was very professional. This is something most people do. No. So, who is this person among you?"
Neither Sister Mei nor Boss Mei said anything.
After hearing Yang Ye's words, Li Xiaoyu looked at them in shock, while Su Lan got into the driver's seat and began to search further.
Gu Liang also looked at the two of them, and said, "At the beginning of voting, the system asked who killed them, and we voted for Boss Mei, but the answer was wrong. Later we thought that the murderer should be Sister Mei. But Sister Mei, a girl, how did she kill two people? Seeing this gun now can explain everything."
"but-"
Gu Liang paused for a moment, and then said, "If we had only selected beautiful sisters at that time, the answer must have been wrong. The famous ladies were all wounded by stab wounds, and there were no gunshot wounds. The only one who was shot was Housekeeper Hao."
"So I think that the situation at that time should be like this - a certain person was stabbing the famous lady and bleeding her to achieve some unknown purpose. At this time, the housekeeper came. He probably wanted to save the famous lady. In this way, another sniper hiding in the dark shot the butler to prevent him from doing bad things."
Gu Liang looked at Sister Mei and Boss Mei with a somewhat oppressive gaze. "So, which of you two is the one who stabbed the ladies? Who was the sniper who killed the housekeeper? What is the story you are hiding?"
The two men haven't spoken yet.
Su Lan got out of the car with a few newspapers and said, "They are wanted criminals, notorious tomb robbers, or the kind who have taken a lot of lives."
Gu Liang took the newspaper and took a look. It was the arrest warrant published in the newspaper. There were no photos of the two people, but there were profiles of the two people. It could be seen that they were Boss Mei and Sister Mei.
It says that this is a tomb robber gang composed of a man and a woman. The woman has a background as an international mercenary, and the man is proficient in things like five elements.
Seeing this, Boss Mei showed a bit of helplessness. "Cough... the matter has come to this point, I have to admit it. Sister Mei... is indeed a sniper. We collaborated in the crime. The situation is similar to what actor Ming speculated."
"But this is a side mission. In order to get rewards, we concealed it."
At this moment, Li Xiaoyu was continuously transporting the rest of the evidence out of the car.
Looking at the pile of familiar spell books, Gu Liang suddenly had a certain association in his mind.
Then he asked Boss Mei: "Do you have anything to do with Oriental warlocks?"
Boss Mei said: "Yes. He is the founder of my sect, he is my ancestor."
Boss Mei recalled for a moment, and then he told his story.
"The oriental warlock, that is, my patriarch, is hailed as a great hero. Because he killed the demon Duke Dar from the west and saved thousands of people in the world."
"Actually, after finishing the mission of the second stage, I found out that he was the one who killed Ai Meili. I think this is quite ironic."
"Although you don't seem to be able to say what he did wrong, the greatest honor in his life, and even his subsequent status... all came in exchange for a woman's life."
Having said that, he shook his head and sighed helplessly, Boss Mei continued to talk.
"Three hundred years ago, the patriarch Oriental Warlock died long ago. I often look for the things left by him. I am very interested in the story of the vampire, and I want to know how he killed the vampire. But every time I The first time I asked my master, my master said he didn’t know. It seems that everyone is hiding this story and doesn’t want people to know the truth.”
"Later, I had evil thoughts. I followed my master and others, and I did fortune-telling for others, and I couldn't make any money. By chance, I met Sister Mei, and we hit it off right away, and we embarked on the road of tomb robbery." Lu. At this time, I betrayed my teacher and fled, and I have nothing to do with the sect."
"I am still interested in the story of Duke Dahl, so I have been paying attention to related rumors since then."
"After inquiring about the news, as well as the few words left by the oriental warlock, I judged that—Duke Dar is not dead, he was just sealed."
"Also, according to the rumors, Duke Dahl's castle can connect two time and space. But this is on the premise that the seal is lifted and he can move freely."
"You have also seen that the two of us are wanted. If we are caught, we will be sentenced to death."
"So the two of us decided to come to this ancient castle and try to see if we can travel through time and space through the ancient castle and escape to three hundred years ago before being arrested by the police."
"Actually, in addition to escaping from the wanted, we also thought that if we could master the way to open the space-time tunnel and travel freely between three hundred years ago and the present, we could bring the antiques from the past to the present for sale. Being chased by the police Wouldn't it be great if we could escape to three hundred years ago? We both have a lifetime of glory and wealth, and we don't have to worry about our lives being in danger."
"Being caught by the police must be a dead end. Opening the seal and bringing the Duke back to life is quite dangerous, but if you overcome this danger, you will have a lifetime of wealth."
"So, we finally decided to take the risk, unlock the Duke's seal, and let him open the space-time tunnel."
"After many years of investigation, the place where the seal was released is located in the vegetable garden."
"One of the conditions for opening the seal is: the blood of the girl with the smell of the castle."
"Rong Mingyuan has been living in the old castle, so she must have the smell of the old castle on her body. I inquired about it, Yu Scumbag dumped her because she refused to do something before marriage, so she is still a girl."
"That's why I killed the famous ladies."
"In the beginning we approached Mei Design, gave her a sum of money, and tried to use her hands to kill people. But she failed."
"The police will catch us at any moment. We decided not to wait and do it ourselves."
"On the night of November 8th, Mingyuan ran to the vegetable garden by herself. I just caught her and tried to use her blood to activate a special spell to break the Duke's seal."
"We didn't want to kill the housekeeper. We didn't want to use guns unless it was an emergency."
"After all, once the bullets are used, even if there is a silencer, there will still be noise, which is easy to cause trouble. Besides, if the bullet casings fall into the hands of the police, it will be easy to trace us."
"But in the process of killing the famous lady, the butler came. The butler opened his mouth to call someone, and he followed the beautiful sister who was lying in ambush from a distance, so he had to kill him with a sniper gun with a silencer before he could yell out."
"After that, as you can see, the two of us transported the corpse to the trunk. Our plan was to hide the corpse first, and then squat nearby to check the situation to see if another time and space opened. I don't know anything."
"When I woke up again, it was the morning of November 9th. We walked through a fog and saw a very confused girl in the vegetable garden."
Having said that, Boss Mei looked at Mama Ai, "It's you."
"After I saw you, I tentatively went up to say hello. Who knew you called my fiance directly. But I really don't know who you are."
"Meet a girl, although I don't know her, but since she calls me her fiancé, then I'll pretend to be his fiancé first. If I meet other people, I'll have to pretend to be multiple identities. It's also from this time, Sister Mei and I acted separately, pretending we didn’t know each other, all for the side quest.”
"You all know the timeline after that. This is the whole story of me and Sister Mei. Of course, I am not the boss of Mei Design, and she is not her sister. This is our disguised identity. Before coming to the castle, we Just think about it, if we need to sneak into the castle and wait for an opportunity to kill the ladies, we will use these identities to disguise."
Listening to a long narration by the perfect boss, Gu Liang took out the small notebook that he carried with him, opened his mouth to bite off the cap of the pen, wrote down a few strokes on the paper, then took off the cap and put it on, and said to Boss Mei: "So what did you say before?" Lied. You said before that you drove over at 8:30 am on November 9th and met Ai Mama when you walked into the vegetable garden at 8:40."
"But in fact, you came on November 8th. When did you come? You said that after killing someone, you suddenly lost consciousness and woke up the next morning. What time and where did you wake up?" of?"
Boss Mei said: "On November 8th, around 11:50 p.m., I parked the car at the current location. During the period, we passed by the south street and saw a commercial vehicle overturned there, and saw three corpses. It should be Yu Scumbag, Mei Design, and Ai Girlfriend that you mentioned."
"Our original plan was to keep an eye on the back of the castle, and wait for an opportunity to sneak into the castle the next day. Unexpectedly, at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the famous lady came to the vegetable garden by herself. When the opportunity was right, I sneaked into the vegetable garden with a knife and killed her. "
"Again, it's 8 o'clock in the morning. Sister Mei and I both woke up in the vegetable garden at 8 o'clock. But she hid, and I came out to say hello to Ai's mother."
Gu Liang asked Li Xiaoyu: "You also woke up at 8 o'clock, right? It's just that you were in the vegetable garden after waking up, and you stayed there for a full forty minutes."
Li Xiaoyu thought for a while and said: "I can't say that I woke up at 8 o'clock. I can only say that when I was conscious, I took out the card and looked at the time. It was 8 o'clock. For before 8 o'clock, I have a general, vague idea. My only memory is that the driver took me here, and I wandered into the vegetable garden by myself, surrounded by fog, and I couldn’t see anything clearly.”
Gu Liang asked her: "But you can't be sure that you came here by car. When you were conscious, you were already in the vegetable garden, and the time was 8 o'clock, right?"
"Yes. That's right." Li Xiaoyu nodded.
Gu Liang looked at Su Lan again: "Can you tell me your real timeline on November 9?"
Su Lan frowned subconsciously, but still answered: "I also woke up at 8 o'clock. The location where I woke up was not the vegetable garden, but near the garden restaurant, corresponding to 300 years ago, or the world we are in now , that’s where the Rose Garden is.”
"It's very close to the main hall. After I woke up, I went straight into the west door, walked to the main hall, and then entered the back kitchen."
"I don't know why, but when I saw that chef, I went up and sucked his blood."
"The vampire doesn't suck the blood right away. I arrived at 8:10 and finished sucking it at 8:40. Then I threw him in the kitchen and left through the west door."
Su Lan recalled for a moment and said: "At 8:50, I arrived at the vegetable garden. I saw the back of a girl from a distance. Now that I think about it, it should be Sister Mei. I have to make a time difference to avoid being discovered by Sister Mei. .So about 10 minutes after she left, I passed the vegetable garden and walked around to the main entrance of the castle from the outside.”
"Yes. The person you saw was indeed me."
Sister Mei finally opened her mouth at this moment, and said, "Boss Mei just said that after we woke up together, I hid first, and he went to strike up a conversation with Mama Ai. We both planned to see the result of his strike-up before making a decision." How did you do it later?"
"We didn't expect that he would be directly recognized by Ai's mother as his fiancé. At 8:40, after they said a few words, they walked from the outside of the castle to the main entrance together. I couldn't meet them, so I fell behind It took 10 minutes. I left at 8:50, arrived at the main entrance at 9, met Mr. Rong, and went to the main hall with him."
This time, Gu Liang finally understood everyone's timeline on November 9th.
At 9 o'clock, Mama Ai and Boss Mei arrived at the main hall first; 10 minutes later, Big Brother Rong and Sister Mei arrived; and 10 minutes later, Meng Tourist played by Su Lan arrived.
There was a 10-minute gap between each group, and that was the real reason.
At this moment, Li Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask Gu Liang: "Why do you keep asking about the time at 8 o'clock?"
Gu Liang said: "Because both Yang Ye and I woke up at 8 o'clock. So I think this timing is very important."
"In the beginning, the plot was limited to the castle. We thought that where the murals existed, there was a time overlap."
"But that doesn't seem to be the case now."
"Maybe we've all been in some kind of hallucination since we woke up at 8 o'clock."
Yang Ye walked up to Gu Liang and patted his shoulder. "Boss Mei said just now that on the way here on the night of November 8th, he saw the scene of the car accident and three bodies. It was on the southern street. That should be another map newly opened by the system. Go and have a look?"
"Row."
Gu Liang looked at Boss Mei, "Then I will trouble you to lead the way."
After walking for about 10 minutes, Boss Mei stopped.
He looked at Sister Mei and said, "This is the place, right? I was driving that night and you were the co-pilot. You should have seen it too."
"Well, I probably saw it. It's just that the car turned over on your side, and I didn't see how many corpses there were."
Sister Mei looked around and couldn't help frowning, "It should be a good place. But the three corpses are gone."
At this moment, Gu Liang looked around the street.
The wide and flat street is planted with sycamores on both sides. There is a big iron gate not far to the north. Walk through the iron gate and you will arrive at the park where the old castle is located.
The iron gate is facing the main entrance of the castle.
At this moment, separated by many sycamore trees, you can still vaguely see Yu Zhanan's red sports car.
There is literally nothing left on this street.
Not only were there no three corpses, but even the commercial vehicle was gone.
In this way, the two newly opened exploration areas have been explored by everyone.
——There are cars showing the story of sister Mei and Boss Mei on the west side of the street; the south side of the street is empty, nothing can be seen.
Leaving the southern street, the six players walked to the big iron gate.
The iron gate was open. Everyone walked through the iron gate and walked for another 5 minutes to arrive at the main entrance of the castle.
Pushing the door open, everything inside the door has not changed for the time being.
After entering the lobby, it was Su Lan who spoke first: "Where do you want to check?"
Gu Liang replied: "Although it is still a bit confusing about what kind of world we are in. But Yang Ye's words are right. The ancient castle is divided into two parts, one part is 300 years ago, and the other part is the present. At this time, the clues in these places will definitely be true."
"The clues on the 2nd to 5th floors are mainly the past stories. In the past two days, we have mainly been active on the 6th floor. I think we can start from the 6th floor. I want to go to the room of the dead boss first. You can do whatever you want."
"Who broke the mirror on the 6th floor? Has anyone recognized it yet?" Su Lan asked.
Gu Liang walked in the direction of the elevator expressionlessly, without saying a word.
"This side mission is clearly deceptive."
Su Lan said, "My branch line is exposed. Yang Ye is a vampire, his skin can be seen, and he is the only question mark character, so he is easy to be exposed. The pair of wanted criminals, Sister Mei and Boss Mei, are the same. cannot hide."
Su Lan looked at Gu Liang: "You are the only one left. Why did you break the mirror?"
"I have no point in doing this." Gu Liang said, "Besides, that incident happened on November 9th. I don't think it will be related to the death of Mr. Rong and the mysterious man."
Gu Liang still wanted to temporarily hide the branch line.
Unless in the end everyone's other associations based on the broken mirror affect the overall reasoning, then he will tell the truth.
Taking the elevator to the 6th floor, everyone went to Mr. Rong's room first.
The door is not locked and can be opened directly.
Entering the house, the house was tidy, and there were no signs of fighting.
There was still an open notebook on the desk. When everyone approached, they found that there were many words written densely on it.
"Great, I can finally marry her."
"November 11 must be the happiest day of my life."
"It's just... I found out that another me appeared."
"How can this work?"
"Although... he likes another person, and they will get married soon."
"But what if? He is another me, what if he wants to take her away from me?"
"No! I have to kill him!"
After reading this page, Yang Ye already felt that his suspicion value was constantly rising.
— Tsk, this old castle can beat him, right? Being labeled as a suspect twice in a row
Sure enough, Boss Mei immediately realized what was happening, and said, "If this diary was written by Mr. Rong...it would be obvious. It stands to reason that at 8 o'clock tonight, there will be two couples who are going to get married, one is him and Ai's mother, and the other is Mrs. The question mark and the actor. He must mean he's going to kill the question mark. But he's dead now. That means—"
Boss Mei looked at Yang Ye: "Did he want to kill you, but you killed him instead?"
Yang Ye had a calm expression on his face. "You can doubt that. But I didn't. I haven't been out all afternoon. But... I saw another dead man. He came to me."
Gu Liang immediately looked at Yang Ye: "When did you see him?"
"Around 3:30 p.m.."
Yang Ye said, "I slept until 3:30, and when I woke up, I saw him in my room. I don't know how he got in. Then he said some weird things to me."
Yang Ye recalled for a while, and said: "Those words are similar to... I give you my heartfelt blessings. Your happy future is also my other ending."
"I asked him to leave, but he kept talking to himself. I didn't bother to talk to him, so I went to the bathroom, locked the door, and took a shower. I took a shower for half an hour, and when I came out, he had already left. "
Boss Mei questioned him: "A mysterious person appeared in your room, and you went to take a shower by yourself?"
Yang Ye replied calmly: "I am a vampire. No one can kill me. What do I have to be afraid of?"
After Mr. Rong Rong came out of the room, everyone scattered and searched.
Gu Liang also followed Yang Ye to other rooms to search.
After searching several rooms and returning to the corridor, Gu Liang was stopped by Li Xiaoyu.
The two followed Li Xiaoyu into Gu Liang's room.
Li Xiaoyu closed the door mysteriously, and then took out a sheet with a little blood on it.
Gu Liang thought - oh, could it be that he was bitten by Yang Ye and became a vampire, after all, can't he hide it
Unexpectedly, what Li Xiaoyu said next was: "Well, I know, if this is seen by others, you must be embarrassed. Shall I hide it for you?"
Where did she, did she misunderstand
Gu Liang felt an ominous premonition.
Immediately afterwards, Li Xiaoyu said: "It's okay! Anyway, the system broadcasted it. I heard it all. You don't have to be embarrassed in front of me."
Gu Liang: "..."
Li Xiaoyu then turned around and opened the bathroom door and walked in. "By the way, is there a washing machine here?"
"Xiaoyu! Be careful of bats!" Gu Liang said seriously.
The moment Li Xiaoyu opened the door, Yang Ye rushed to follow and walked into the bathroom before Li Xiaoyu.
Gu Liang followed closely to the door of the bathroom, and he was surprised to find that all the bats inside had disappeared.
In addition, what was even more surprising was that he, Yang Ye, and Li Xiaoyu were standing in front of the mirror at the same time, but the mirror was empty and there was no one.
