But the two houses can't explain anything at the moment.
Xie Xuan didn't stay any longer and turned to the third house.
This time it was room number 4. As expected, the door was still unlocked, and the room was also empty. It's the same situation as room 1, there is no water or food on the table.
Sure enough... is that so
Xie Xuan left Room 4, with deep eyes, took out the blood-stained cloth from his pocket, looked at the sun again, and suddenly his eyes flashed.
The concern just now was messed up.
The color of the bloodstains was already so dark, and the blood-stained part of the soft cloth had also become hard, it couldn't be something left in a short period of time. Just now, I lost my mind.
Sure enough, intuition in the blood is sometimes more accurate than reasoning-this can't be the first day.
But in this situation, even without this clue...
Xie Xuan refolded the cloth strips and put them back in his pocket. At this point in the investigation, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to be the first day again.
Next, Xie Xuan investigated the remaining stone houses one by one, whether it was the dead No. 2, No. 7, or other people who were alive. As the progress progressed, the result was as expected—everyone’s room was empty.
The layout of everyone's house is basically the same. If there is any difference, everyone's quilts are stacked differently. It can be seen that everyone has gone to bed once. There is also the detail that Xie Xuan noticed in Room 1 at the beginning.
Question about food.
There is no food or water in most rooms, but there are usually one or two plastic bottles filled with water, and the occasional crumb of bread can be seen on the table. Under the bed of the dead player No. 7, Xie Xuan found an unopened piece of bread and a bottle of water.
"oops… "
"If you guessed correctly, this time the system only provides players with food for one day."
Therefore, even though we know that the house is safe and all operations can be completed through the system, it is impossible to stay behind closed doors all the time.
What's more, people who can live up to now, no matter how cowardly they are, they don't even have the courage to go out. There must be a small number of people who are completely hidden in the house, and this kind of people who don't cooperate during the day and don't provide clues to cooperate will be punished from the very beginning. Cast it out.
Even someone who has seriously thought about 'one can go without water for a week and just hide in the house' can think of this after a little thought. There is no safe haven on the battlefield.
So now... Xie Xuan set his sights on the only house that he hadn't entered yet.
This house is in the northwest corner of the entire village, on the edge of the village. It is no different from other houses in appearance, and a number, 'No. 10', is clearly written on the house.
There was no round of qualifiers, as the number 10 player, he should have appeared here directly.
Xie Xuan pushed open the door and walked into the house that was supposed to be his birthplace. The house is the same as other rooms, just entering the door is the main hall, there is another bedroom, a bathroom, and the curtains are drawn.
Xie Xuan saw the things on the table in the main hall at a glance: two portions of bread, two bottles of water. She raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise: "Huh?"
The food and water were still 'intact' on the table, and the other players didn't take it away.
Or, is it not 'intact' anymore
Xie Xuan tore off a piece of bed sheet from the bed sheet in the bedroom, picked up water and food through the cloth and observed it. The water has never been opened, and it is easy to judge whether this kind of plastic bottle has been opened. There are no traces of small holes or pinholes on the bottle body. The bread is packed in a plastic bag, and it can be judged at a glance whether it has been opened or not. If no one has tampered with the packaging, the food may indeed be intact.
But isn't food in short supply? Xie Xuan habitually rests her chin with her middle finger, or am I thinking something wrong? Does the food actually refresh every day? Xie Xuan frowned slightly, recalled the details just now, shook her head slightly, and still retained her original judgment.
In this case, it is worth pondering why no one has touched my things.
There is not only food in this house, everything has no trace of human habitation. The bed was neat, meaning there wasn't even a single wrinkle—if you didn't count the marks left by the owner's own tearing just now.
Don't say it doesn't look like someone has tampered with it, or even someone has been there.
"very strange… "
After tossing for a long time, the time has come to 8:40, and the voting time at 9:00 is about to come. This time, the players didn't leave any clues at home except for food residues. Did they all communicate verbally? Hmm, based on the rules this time, compared to group discussions, talking in private is more likely to sway other people's minds, right
Now it seems that no one else can be found before 9:00, so I can only abstain today.
—I don’t know what’s going on now, I don’t even know what day it is, but since it’s not the first day, there must be a reasonable reason why I wasn’t stolen! Voting rashly at this time may alert the enemy, or accidentally injure one's own comrades-in-arms.
After leaving his house, Xie Xuan checked other things in the village.
There are no buckets and ropes around the well, and the facilities are very old. It is impossible to tell whether the system was not provided or was removed by someone. Looking down, the well is dark and nothing can be seen. Xie Xuan picked up a stone and threw it into the well.
'Plop! 'The crisp sound of water splashes.
It is a well with water.
If there is a bucket, the most important source of water is solved.
Since wells with water are provided, the system cannot allow players to build a bucket by themselves. Sure enough, someone removed the bucket.
Of course, other people will not agree to such a foolish thing like dismantling the barrel, so the person who dismantles the barrel can only be the person (people) who has independent activity time—either a god or a wolf.
There is nothing else worth noting in the village. There are many plants and trees, but there are almost no edible plants. But these grasses look like ordinary weeds and are non-toxic. At that time, eating grass will not starve to death.
It is worth noting that the four sides of the village are completely different. The east side where Xie Xuan came from seems to be a barren grassland. Near the village, the grass is less and shorter, and the grass gets thicker and taller as you go east. This is also the reason why some people went near the water pool before, but they didn't find Xie Xuan who was sleeping not far away.
To the south of the village are endless fields. Most of the fields are bare, but there are some scattered vegetation, which is not a good place to hide.
"But there should be something to eat in the fields."
To the north of the village is a mountain. The slope of the mountain is not small, but it is still within the range that ordinary people can climb. Take a look at the vegetation on the mountain is rich.
"Mountain..."
To the west of the village is a miscellaneous forest. There seemed to be a variety of plants in the woods, mostly green.
"The woods..."
"The east side has hidden water sources, the west and north sides are suitable for hiding, and the south side has hidden food... It really feels like an RPG map." On the tree, staring at the phone screen.
Let me see today's tickets.
At 9:00 in the morning, the identity enforcement interface refreshed the latest results on time.
Those who voted for No. 1 are: No. 3 and No. 6;
Those who voted for No. 5 are: No. 4;
Those who voted for No. 9 are: No. 1 and No. 5;
Those who abstained from voting are: No. 9 and No. 10;
This round of tie votes, no one out.
Abstentions are permitted under the rules of the bureau, but recasts are not allowed for ties, except for sheriff votes. Voting during the day is handled safely, and if there is a tie for the Wolves at night, the system will randomly kill one player from the selected players.
"Only No. 9 and I abstained... No. 9 is still a focus^, so why did he abstain? If No. 9 hadn't abstained, No. 1 would be out today. This is how No. 9 treated himself before voting." Was it a misjudgment? Or did he have a reason for having to abstain?"
Xie Xuan sighed: Do you want to wait here for them to come back? It's impossible not to come back at night, right
At this moment, there was a slight sound behind him. Xie Xuan, who had been in frequent fights in middle school, couldn't have had a stronger feeling for this premonition. He instinctively turned around and grabbed the opponent's right arm, which was holding a sharp stone and was about to smash it down. Throwing away the stone in his hand, he grabbed his neck and pinned him to the ground. The other party did not expect that the target of the sneak attack had been prepared and was thrown to the ground.
At this moment, the two of them who had a clear look at each other's faces were taken aback.
"Don't move!" Feeling the struggle coming from his hands, Xie Xuan increased the strength in his hands.
"Cough cough..." The other party coughed, but there was a mockery and surprise in Xie Xuan's eyes that Xie Xuan had never seen before, "Cough... so number 10 is you, Shen Mu."
"I didn't expect you to be No. 1, student Su." Xie Xuan smiled, but the strength in his hands did not lessen.
The sneak attacker in front of him was wearing the same blue shirt as Xie Xuan, with a clearly printed '1' on his chest. Player No. 1 was Su Yingxing, a classmate from the same school that he hadn't seen in many rounds.
Looking at the undisguised sarcasm and coldness on the other party's face, Xie Xuan was quite surprised: whether it was at Lu Ying's birthday party offline or when she met the other party in the first round, the character shown by the other party was the same as the current one. But very different.
What caused such a change in his personality during this period of time? Or, was he just that kind of person
To be honest, when I met him before, I really didn't think there was any sign of peacekeeping in this person... Xie Xuan was more inclined to the first possibility. But I didn't know this guy well.
"Let go of me, this is a misunderstanding. If you don't show up for three days, who would have thought that it was you, player number 10, or someone you know?" At this moment Su Yingxing spoke suddenly, and the sarcasm on his face was put away, his tone become normal. But still with a hint of aggression.
This sentence is reasonable in itself, and it revealed an important news for Xie Xuan: this is already the morning of the third day.
But at the same time, Xie Xuan suddenly thought of a possibility, his eyes widened
Shrinking back, the strength in his hand not only did not decrease, but increased sharply: "Where is Xie You?!"
He didn't miss the strangeness that flashed across the other party's face when he heard the name. Xie Xuan tried hard to control herself not to deepen her strength: "What did you do to her!"
"Cough, cough... what are you talking about..." No one wanted to be strangled to death, Su Yingxing struggled and said, "I haven't seen her today! Besides, cough, didn't she vote again just now?"
