It was noon soon, and the app that hadn't moved for a long time issued an order to everyone, asking the remaining players to go to the banquet hall to gather for dinner.
Like yesterday, the captain should have announced a second round of voting by lunch time.
The antique clock in the banquet hall rang twelve times, and everyone was already seated in the banquet hall.
The table was full of delicacies, but obviously everyone was not in the mood to enjoy the food, with serious expressions on their faces, and some people even had cold sweat on their foreheads.
It is already the second day of the game, and the dawn of victory is about to be seen, and no one wants to give up halfway at this time.
The meal was almost finished, and the captain hadn't come yet. Gradually, some people became impatient, looked left and right frequently, and kept making small movements, as if fidgeting.
Especially Lu Zhongze next to Lu Shijin, sometimes stood up and moved the chair, sometimes sat down and shook his thighs, it was difficult for people to ignore his movements.
When Lu Zhongze lifted his buttocks and moved the chair for the nth time, when the chair legs made an ear-piercing rubbing sound against the ground, Lu Shijin finally couldn't help but turned his head and glanced at him.
Lu Zhongze immediately caught Lu Shijin's eyes, finally there was someone who could talk, Lu Zhongze couldn't wait to move towards Lu Shijin, "You are also nervous, right?"
Lu Shijin hooked the corner of his mouth perfunctorily: "It's okay."
Lu Zhongze looked at him nervously: "Did you vote?"
Lu Shijin shook his head calmly.
Lu Zhongze glanced at Rong Zhi on the opposite side, "What about him?"
Lu Shijin: "No." After a pause, he said, "It's the second round, so no one should vote without knowing who the murderer is?"
"That's not necessarily the case." A strange smile appeared on Lu Zhongze's face, "Others may not vote, but have you forgotten? There is another person who can vote for whoever he wants."
A flash of inspiration flashed in Lu Shijin's mind, and he opened his eyes slightly, "You mean?"
"That's right," Lu Zhongze sneered, "it's the real murderer. His mission is different from ours. As long as he hides his identity and does not reveal it, he will win. Therefore, he is not subject to voting restrictions."
Lu Shijin raised his eyebrows, Lu Zhongze was right, he actually forgot this.
Originally, I thought that the second round would be calm, but now that Lu Zhongze reminded me, things might not be so simple.
If the murderer didn't vote in the first round, then in the second round, the murderer will definitely vote for the person who threatens him the most!
Lu Shijin, who was quite calm this round, couldn't help becoming nervous.
Pray silently, it has come to this point, the murderer must not vote for him and Rong Zhi!
Lu Zhongze seemed to have guessed Lu Shijin's thoughts, lowered his voice and continued: "Let me tell you, if someone is voted out in this round, the murderer must be among the five people who did not vote in the first round, do you understand?"
Of course Lu Shijin understood, and deliberately said quietly: "But it is also possible that the murderer has already voted in the first round. And I think if the murderer is smart enough, he will not vote in the second round, which narrows down the number of suspects." It's not good for him."
"What you said makes sense," Lu Zhongze smiled, "Then let's wait for the result."
As soon as he finished speaking, the captain walked into the banquet hall. Everyone held their breaths and followed the captain with their eyes, waiting for him to announce the start of voting.
Captain: "Good afternoon, everyone. Dr. Xu has examined Mr. Lu's body, and the cause of death will be available later in the afternoon. Before that, I was worried that the murderer would attack other people. Observed, and got some new clues, if anyone thinks he has confirmed who the murderer is and wants to identify him, I welcome it very much."
After the captain finished speaking, the mobile phone vibrated one after another on the dining table, and the same voting interface as last time appeared on the screen of the mobile phone. The difference was that this time there was a line of bright red prompts on the top of the interface.
"Attention, this will be your last chance to identify the murderer, please vote carefully!!!"
There was no sound in the banquet hall, and everyone lowered their heads and stared at their mobile phone screens. Whether they had voted or not, the expressions on their faces were not relaxed.
This is not a game, but a gamble, and the bet is one's own life.
In this gamble, no one is doomed to be a winner, because even if they win, it is premised on sacrificing other people's lives.
As long as it is a bet, the banker will win.
"Voting closed."
The captain didn't give everyone much time to think about it, and when the time came, he closed the voting interface.
"The results of the voting will be announced within three minutes. Please wait here for a while."
The captain went out, leaving the rest in the banquet hall to wait for the result.
Everyone should have the same feeling. They have never felt that three minutes have been so long, and every second is suffering for them.
"Someone will die, someone will definitely die..." Lu Zhongze was already in cold sweat, muttering, "The murderer will definitely vote, we can't win!"
"You're so noisy! Can you please be quiet! What nonsense are you talking about!" Miss Gao who was sitting next to him couldn't take it anymore, she slapped the table and shouted, "The votes are all over, what's the use of talking about it now! You're so scared Die, why did you come in? Stay and continue the mission!"
Lu Zhongze looked at her quietly, with a strange hoarse tone: "Do you think you can get out of here alive? The person who set up this ultimate challenge doesn't want us to leave alive at all. Just watch, the murderer will wipe us out, but Before that, hehehe... someone will die first... "
Everyone's backs were chilled by his strange laughter, and the haze in their hearts became heavier and heavier.
Although they tried their best to remain calm, they all knew in their hearts that what Lu Zhongze said was the truth.
These people entered the ultimate challenge smoothly, thinking that the difficulty of the ultimate challenge would be similar to the previous missions, but they ignored that in the mission, the characters they faced were only NPCs made of data, let alone NPCs. Said there is still system help.
But here, they are fighting alone, and their opponents are real players with different hearts.
Many people regretted in their hearts that they shouldn't have impulsively entered the final challenge, and should have stayed in the different world to continue doing tasks, at least they could still live in the different world.
And if the final challenge fails, their last bit of consciousness in the world will be obliterated, and they will no longer have themselves in the world.
"The result is out!"
The captain's voice like a bell suddenly floated in from outside, like a thunderclap awakening everyone who was immersed in their respective emotions.
Lu Zhongze came to his senses and asked the captain eagerly, "Is anyone thrown out?"
The captain glanced at him secretively, without answering, walked to the table with his head held high.
The tense atmosphere spread, the air seemed to condense, and it was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could not be heard.
Lu Shijin was also very anxious, holding on to the armrest tightly with both hands. Judging from the captain's eyes just now, someone must be out this round.
Who is the one
The captain turned a blind eye to everyone's nervousness, and announced in a businesslike manner: "Everyone, the voting results have been announced. In this round of voting, there is only one vote..."
Lu Zhongze stood up and shouted: "I'll tell you! The murderer will definitely vote!" Pointing at the people who didn't vote in the first round, "The murderer is among you!"
"Be quiet, Mr. Lu, can you listen to me?" The captain's tone was displeased, and he knocked on the table twice to signal everyone to be quiet.
Lu Zhongze closed his mouth resentfully and sat back, muttering in his mouth that he didn't know what he was cursing.
Lu Shijin felt that Lu Zhongze was about to be dazed, but it was normal. Under such strong pressure, it was only a matter of time before his mental breakdown occurred.
"...that is, only one person received the votes, and that person was—"
The captain first glanced to the right, and there were three people sitting on the right, Mrs. Li, the nanny and Rong Zhi.
When Lu Shijin saw the captain looking to the right, he was afraid that the captain would call out Rong Zhi's name in the next second, and his heart almost jumped to the throat.
Fortunately, the captain quickly retracted his gaze, and looked to the left again.
Now, it was the turn of the person sitting on the left to worry about his own fate. The person sitting on the left was sitting as neatly as before, and there was no one missing.
The captain looked at them like a sharp knife, and the five of them were sweating profusely, holding their breath, waiting for whose chest the sharp blade of judgment would finally pierce.
The captain raised his hand and pointed straight at Mr. Feng: "Sorry Mr. Feng, you got the only vote. Please follow us to the interrogation room. We have some questions for you."
Mr. Feng's face turned pale as paper, and he pointed at himself in disbelief, "What? It's me? How could it be me?! Why!"
He stood up abruptly, his facial muscles twitching with excitement, and his reaction was exactly the same as when Mr. Li knew he had been voted out. He shouted, "Whoever voted for me! Who wants to harm me! Who! Stand up!"
Of course, those who voted would not stand up, and the poor Mr. Feng didn't have to struggle for too long. He was soon carried away by the sailors on the ship and dragged to the interrogation room.
Those who remained saw Mr. Feng being dragged away like a dead fish, and knew in their hearts that he would never come back again.
For a moment, the expressions on the faces of all the people were different. Some people were lucky to survive the catastrophe, while others were sad because the rabbit died and the fox was sad.
"Next, we will interrogate Mr. Feng, and the results will be announced to everyone soon. In addition, in addition to the first and second floors, the area on the third floor is also open to everyone."
After the captain finished speaking, he left the banquet hall again, and the murder scene was opened in the third round. There must be many secrets hidden in Mr. Lu's room.
Lu Zhongze escaped, and immediately put on a smug smile on his face, he was completely different from the ashamed face just now.
"Okay, I've confirmed that the murderer is among those people, don't think that hiding in the dark is safe, you won't be able to escape this time!"
Miss Gao on the side snorted and said, "Don't be so full of words, what if Mr. Feng is the murderer? If so, it would be fun, game over."
"Impossible," Mrs. Feng shook her head with a pale face, "He is not. Think about it, Mr. Lu and I are in a 'father-daughter' relationship after all. Even if we wanted to attack him, how could we want him to die?"
Mrs. Li smiled, "According to what you said, wouldn't the suspicion of those of us who are related by blood be eliminated? Then there is only-"
Mrs. Li glanced at Miss Gao, Lu Shijin and the nanny one by one. Although she didn't say everything, what she wanted to say was self-evident.
Lu Shijin secretly sneered, this is just one person out of the game, some people can't wait to take the rhythm.
Lu Shijin took a sip of water calmly, his voice was not loud, but he said loudly: "At this time, those who still want to confuse their eyes are either mentally retarded or the murderer. It's the third round. If you don't work together to find the murderer, you have to wait until the murderer wins." Is everyone satisfied?"
Mrs. Li was taunted by Lu Shijin, her face flushed, but she also realized that what she just said was wrong, so she just glared at Lu Shijin and did not refute.
"Okay, okay, let's stop fighting among ourselves," Lu Zhongze stood up and acted as a peacemaker, "It's right now, our top priority now is to work together to find the murderer. If you're not sure who the real murderer is, don't Disorderly rhythm, this is our last chance. Now that the third floor is open, and the cause of the old man's death will be announced in the afternoon, our chances of winning are still very high, everyone should unite and find out the culprit!"
It's a pity that Lu Zhongze's impassioned speech did not get many people's response, and the others were expressionless.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Lu Zhongze touched his nose in embarrassment, and suddenly his phone vibrated, which allowed him to solve his predicament.
"The interrogation results have been announced! Mr. Feng is indeed not the murderer!"
"Don't be too happy," Mrs. Li said in a nonchalant manner, "Don't forget, since the murderer hasn't been found yet, it means that there will be another death tonight."
