Lu Shijin didn't even look at the faces of those people, and went straight out of the banquet hall. After he went out, he happened to receive an APP instruction on his mobile phone, notifying everyone that the living room on the first floor is open again, and a maximum of three players can go to the living room to participate in the discussion .
This time, Lu Shijin, who had seen the hypocrisy of these people, did not intend to get involved, but Rong Zhi sent him a message, saying that he would go and find out.
Lu Shijin has no objection, but he doesn't think that any ugly things can be discussed through discussion.
It's already the second round of the game, and if Lu Shijin still can't see the purpose of this final challenge mission, then all his previous missions will be in vain.
It looked like a game for a group of players to catch the murderer, but they were not allowed to go to the third floor to search for evidence, and they were not even told the cause of Mr. Lu's death.
The designer of this final challenge obviously did it on purpose. It understands that if the search for evidence is open, it will be easy to catch a murderer with the concerted efforts of these elite players who have made it through all the way.
The reason why they didn't give any clues is to see how they intrigue and kill each other in such a situation where all of them may be the murderer, but there is no conclusive evidence to identify the real murderer.
The clues are disclosed step by step. If the players are united enough, they should wait until the third round to summarize the clues and vote.
But the ten people don't know each other, and their hearts are separated from each other. No one is sure whether others will vote for themselves if they don't vote for others. That's why the first round of tragedies of biting each other happened.
Even in the second round, when no one dares to vote easily, some people still try to divert attention and exclude dissidents.
The designers of the game, for whatever purpose, obviously don't want to make it easy for everyone to pass the level.
Really good at playing tricks on people's hearts.
Lu Shijin went to the deck on the second floor. It was a cloudy day today, the air pressure on the sea was very low, the sky hung low, and the sun was covered by dark clouds. Although it was cloudy, the wind was not strong, and there were no waves on the sea. It's like the calm before the storm, with a sense of oppression that makes you breathless.
Lu Shijin circled around on the deck and could not see the shore. This huge cruise ship was surrounded by the vast sea, like an isolated island in the sea. Everyone on board was trapped in the sea. no way.
He now somewhat understands why 711 said that the ultimate challenge is difficult, let him think about it again.
What is difficult is not the task itself, but the sinister heart.
They are only one step away from winning. At this time, in order to win, these people can do anything.
But compared to winning or losing this game, Lu Shijin is more concerned about why Rong Zhi lost his memory
This puzzled him a lot.
While thinking, Lu Shijin casually walked around the boat, and inadvertently saw a pot of flowering plants beside the railing, with thick roots and several white flowers blooming on one branch. It's a trumpet.
Lu Shijin thought it was just a simple morning glory, and was about to pick one and study it, when he suddenly heard a male voice with a slightly cold tone behind him.
"If you're not afraid of your hands getting rotten, just pick them off."
Lu Shijin turned his head and saw that it was the forensic doctor surnamed Xu.
When Lu Shijin heard that his hands would be broken, he immediately dispelled his curiosity and took his hands back, and said with a sneer, "It turned out to be Dr. Xu, what a coincidence, have you finished the body examination?"
When this forensic NPC appeared, he didn't seem to get along well with him. Just now, he made a sarcasm at everyone in the banquet hall, and he didn't seem like an easy character to get along with.
Lu Shijin was prepared that Xu Chen would not talk to him, so he just greeted him politely.
Xu Chen walked over expressionlessly, glanced down at the pot of strangely shaped flowers, and said coldly: "This flower is a Datura, and the whole plant is poisonous, especially the seeds. It can easily poison several adults in a short period of time."
Lu Shijin said in surprise: "So powerful? I almost fell for it, thank you Dr. Xu for reminding me. But since it is poisonous, why did it appear on the boat? What if there are people who don't know it is poisonous like me, what should I do if they pick it? "
"I found datura pollen in Mr. Lu's corpse. Datura flowers are dried and ground into powder, which can be used as a perspiration medicine to make people dizzy," Xu Chen said.
Lu Shijin: "..." Did you meet an NPC and ask yourself a question? He is so lucky!
"Then what is the cause of Mr. Lu's death?" Lu Shijin observed Xu Chen's face and asked tentatively.
Xu Chen turned his eyes sideways, and cast a cool glance at Lu Shijin, "Why, now you ask me again?"
Lu Shijin: "..." Do you need anything from him? Where does this start? And why did he say "again"
Seeing that Lu Shijin was silent, Xu Chen decided that he was guilty, adjusted his glasses, and said with a sneer, "Didn't you just say that the system cheated in there? If you have the ability, you can find out the cause of Mr. Lu's death yourself."
Can you still speak well!
Lu Shijin was confused by Xu Chen, saying that Xu Chen was aiming at him, and he didn't feel any hostility from the other party, and he kindly reminded him just now that mandala flowers are poisonous; it can be said that there is no hostility, why did Xu Chen turn to him when he saw him? Smelly face? It was as if I owed him eight million.
No, it was more serious than owed eight million. Xu Chen's expression once gave Lu Shijin the illusion that he was a heartless man who abandoned his wife and children.
"That... Dr. Xu, let me make sure first, we didn't know each other before, right?" Lu Shijin was determined not to offend key NPCs, and he hoped to get more clues about the cause of the old man's death from Xu Chen, so he piled up. With a smile on his face, he said, "Don't get me wrong, just now those people thought the system was cheating, I just followed them, but I didn't think they were right at all. I am a person who knows how to be grateful. I was able to get to where I am today, thanks to the cute little system that was bound to me in the past, it can be said that without it, I would not be who I am now, how could I be ungrateful and think it is useless!"
Xu Chen's face softened a bit, snorted, and asked in disbelief, "Really?"
Lu Shijin gritted his teeth and nodded sincerely: "Really!"
Why does this NPC feel a little arrogant? Besides, what they complained about was the system, not him, he was a living person, so as for complaining to the system
Wait a moment!
Lu Shijin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, he seemed to have got the point wrong!
The point is not why Xu Chen speaks for the system, but how does Xu Chen, an NPC, know the system? !
In the eyes of NPCs, these players should be characters in the plot!
Lu Shijin looked at Xu Chen with suspicious eyes, what is the origin of this forensic doctor who suddenly boarded the ship
"It's only now that I realize something is wrong, isn't it too late?" Xu Chen read his inner doubts from Lu Shijin's eyes, brushed his hair, and said with a cool expression, "I thought you are so good, and the challenge will be difficult in the end." I can't live without you, but in the end I can't live without me."
Lu Shijin: "..." Can't do without him
A bold and ridiculous idea emerged in Lu Shijin's mind. He shook his head and stared blankly at Xu Chen's face, which looked strange. Lu Shijin was sure that he had never seen this person before.
And he has traveled so many times, and only his lover and 711 are by his side from the beginning to the end. Could this Xu Chen be one of them? !
But how is this possible
"Could you be—?" Lu Shijin frowned, his eyelashes fluttered in disbelief, revealing his inner excitement.
Xu Chen dragged his voice out, "Guess, guess boldly."
This stinky fart should not be him, Lu Shijin can almost 99% confirm who the person in front of him is.
"You can't be." Lu Shijin didn't want to make Xu Chen too complacent, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, teasing him, "Are you the rescuer sent by the monkey?"
The corners of Xu Chen's mouth did not have time to raise, and it was stiff on his face, with a deflated expression, which made Lu Shijin laugh.
"Okay," Xu Chen became annoyed, put his hands back into his white coat, and turned to leave, "It seems that you don't need me, so I'd better go."
"Don't, it's already here, why go away?" Lu Shijin dragged him back a few steps, and looked at Xu Chen with a smile, "I guessed wrong just now, give me a chance, and I will guess again."
Xu Chen raised his chin, "If you make a wrong guess this time, don't blame me for losing your face."
"I can't, I can't," Lu Shijin rubbed his chin, pretending to look at Xu Chen's face carefully, "You can't, it's the understanding, omnipotent, invincible, and witty system that I bound, right? ?!"
Hearing Lu Shijin's compliments, Xu Chen couldn't hold back his indifferent expression any longer, the corners of his mouth got bigger and bigger, and he squinted at Lu Shijin, "You still have eyesight."
Lu Shijin frowned in embarrassment: "But..."
Xu Chen raised his eyebrows: "But what?"
"I'm afraid you're a fake," Lu Shijin curled his lips, "I'm still not sure, what if you are someone else's system pretending to be mine, and you want to lie to me? Well, if you prove yourself, I will believe you !"
"Trouble," Xu Chen rolled his eyes and said reluctantly, "I'm 711."
"You can't just talk about the code name, the system code name is not a secret, you have to talk about something private that only the two of us know." Lu Shijin moved to Xu Chen's side and lowered his voice, "For example, I will give you What's your pet name?"
"A pet name?" Xu Chen rolled his eyes again, "What kind of pet name is that? It's so ugly."
Lu Shijin clicked his tongue and urged, "Say it, only if you are right can you prove that you are really 711."
Xu Chen glanced at him, took a deep breath helplessly, turned his face and said dryly: "Convenience, convenience, shop."
"It's really you! Convenience store!" Lu Shijin hugged Xu Chen directly, incoherently happy, "Damn, why did you come? Didn't it mean that the final challenge system can't come in with the host? Damn, too Surprised, I'm so happy hahaha! Your anthropomorphic form is similar to what I imagined, the man with the tsundere tongue and glasses hahaha!"
"Shut up!" Xu Chen was hugged by Lu Shijin without any resistance, "Can you say something nice?"
Lu Shijin patted Xu Chen on the shoulder, stared and feigned anger, "Hey, yes, I dare to talk back to your Brother Lu."
Xu Chen raised his chin, "I used to be tied to you, but I swallowed it because of your 'excessive power'. Now that we are separated, what am I afraid of? Besides, I learned this from you too."
Lu Shijin let go of his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, brother Qi is still stubborn, by the way, why did you come here? And became a forensic doctor?"
"Isn't it for someone?" Xu Chen said.
"For me?" Lu Shijin was both flattered and worried, "You didn't come here in violation of the regulations, did you? If you are found out, will you be punished?"
Xu Chen raised his eyebrows, and said lightly, "Don't worry about it. If I can come, I must comply with the regulations. Our system is not that powerful, and our actions can't be hidden from the eyes of the Lord God. I have sacrificed a lot this time. It was only in exchange for the opportunity to enter here with other systems."
"Aren't you reluctant to part with your Brother Lu, and want to take another look at me before leaving?" Lu Shijin blinked his eyes, and said with a gruff smile, "It seems that my charm is still great, and you will never forget me."
"Stop joking, talk about serious business." Xu Chen pulled Lu Shijin to a remote place on the deck, avoiding the patrolling sailors outside, "I came this time mainly to make up for the wrong information I sent before. I thought you were a man He didn't enter this ultimate challenge with you, but after a pair with 211, I found out that he and the Lord God applied to accompany you in together! I'm afraid that both of you will be kept in the dark, and you will end up killing each other, so It’s only because I changed shifts with another system.”
Lu Shijin felt dizzy when he heard it. He had an unscrupulous smile on his face, but he quickly restrained himself and asked solemnly, "Are you sure? He also came in? Is it true?"
"Of course," Xu Chen said, "211 told me personally. Why? It's been two days, haven't you found him yet? What about the tacit understanding between you two?"
Lu Shijin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he grabbed Xu Chen's shoulder and shook, "...it's not your fault! I believed you when you said he didn't come in! Convenience store, as expected of you, is still the same cheater! I believed your evil !"
Xu Chen raised his hands: "My, my, this time it's really mine. How did I know that he has such a hard head and dares to challenge the second ultimate challenge. Am I here to make up for my mistakes? You know now Who is he?"
Lu Shijin knew it, of course he knew it, and he was 100% sure.
If it wasn't Rongzhi, who else could it be
In this way, it makes sense why Rong Zhi lost his memory.
Lu Shijin's heart skipped a beat. Rong Zhi was the Pei Wen he knew. It turned out that the person who accompanied him all the way was Pei Wen
It turned out that they knew each other a long time ago
How lucky he is to meet a person who will accompany him hand in hand and never leave him!
He knew it, he didn't miss it!
"No wonder, no one else can add friends, but we can." Lu Shijin suddenly realized that everything can be connected in series.
Xu Chen said solemnly: "It must be that 211 kid quietly opened the back door for its host."
Lu Shijin pushed him, and said angrily: "How dare you say that! When I asked you to open a back door for me, you didn't even give me a card! Just look at 211!"
Xu Chen coughed and sneered, "Isn't it? 211 is unstable, and you don't have to worry about getting caught if you open the back door. I'm different. I'm a serious system. How can I open the back door for the host casually? If you get caught, performance will be deducted." Yes. Besides, now that all of us are here, isn’t it more useful than some card?”
"That's true, well, for the sake of making up for your mistakes, I forgive you." Lu Shijin resisted the urge to rush to Rongzhi immediately, and asked before forgetting the main task, "You went to check Mr. Lu's Corpse, do you know the cause of his death?"
Xu Chen: "Naturally, the cause of death was severed heart veins by a sharp object, and he died of massive heart bleeding. The murder weapon was the fruit knife stuck in his chest. The wound of the deceased was very smooth, and the murderer's method of attack was crisp and neat, almost killing him with a single blow. .”
Lu Shijin was a little surprised, "It turned out that he died from a knife wound. Who would be so cruel to kill such a dying old man?"
"It's not just what it seems on the surface," Xu Chen said, "I also found the composition of Datura pollen in the blood of the deceased. There is also undigested food, and it seems that there were allergies during his lifetime. As for what the allergen is, it is difficult to judge after the person is dead."
Lu Shijin frowned: "Are you unconscious?" He suddenly remembered that he had heard a huge commotion in Mr. Lu's room at about 1 am the night before, and asked vigilantly, "Can you confirm the death time of the deceased?"
Xu Chen: "About one o'clock in the morning the night before yesterday."
really! Then that movement should be made by the murderer during the murder, right
As long as it is confirmed who has been to Mr. Lu's room at one o'clock in the morning, can't we be sure who the murderer is
Lu Shijin first ruled out himself, and then ruled out Rong Zhi, because he clearly remembered that Rong Zhi knocked on the wall of his room at that time, Rong Zhi was in his room and had no time to commit crimes.
This made Lu Shijin heave a sigh of relief. Originally, he was worried that one of him and Rong Zhi might be the murderer, but now he no longer has such worries, and they can leave the ship together.
"Then who do you think will be the murderer?" Lu Shijin looked at Xu Chen expectantly, thinking that since 711 is an insider, maybe he knows the answer.
Xu Chen shrugged his shoulders, "Don't count on me, I don't know the answer, even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you, it's against the rules to reveal the question."
Lu Shijin: "...what do you want?"
Xu Chen pushed down his glasses: "You don't need me? Then I'm leaving."
"Don't go, don't go, I'm joking." Lu Shijin quickly stopped him, took Xu Chen's arm and coaxed, "How can you go, you are my most precious and important person!"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Shijin heard someone cough behind him, looked back, and secretly thought something was wrong.
Is it such a coincidence, why is Rong Zhi here? !
when did he come How much have you heard and seen
It's not the time to let him know Xu Chen's identity!
Lu Shijin quickly let go of Xu Chen's arm, and waved at Rongzhi awkwardly, "Hey, why are you here?"
Rong Zhi had a panoramic view of the intimate behavior of the two, his face was indifferent, and his tone was colder than his expression: "Do you know each other?"
Lu Shijin and Xu Chen looked at each other, took a step back at the same time, shook their heads and said in unison: "No, I don't know each other!"
