Laura's words drew silence from the crowd.
This afternoon, after searching for Mark and He Yi in vain, Dr. Lu casually complained that the snow was too slippery, and he fell accidentally—he fell three times in one afternoon, if Du Yue hadn’t been watching him by his side , The number of times he falls can be doubled. This reminded everyone that they would still live here for the next six days, and they couldn't travel on snow every time.
So, the five of them plus Xue Jiahui, Janet, and Alex who were there to help find people together, a total of eight people, took the necessary snow-sweeping tools in each house, and cleaned up an area near their house. The snowy road leads to the church in the center of the village. As for Jing Siyu, Jing Sixue, and Annie, although they were not missing, they hadn't cleaned the road either, and the missing Mark and He Yi naturally didn't either.
Laura's thinking is very clear, if someone knocks Xue Jiahui unconscious and takes her away, unless he first goes to the church along the snow-free passage Xue Jiahui has cleared, and then follows one of the seven snow-free passages connected to the church. One day he came to one of the houses and hid her, otherwise his tracks would be left on the snow.
"But we walked around in the afternoon, and there were quite a few footprints on the ground, and it's hard to tell them apart now." Qi Le pretended to be confused.
"Look around along the way," said Laura.
The search took one night, but there were no suspicious footprints on the ground, and there was nothing to be found in the house of the few people. By the time it was almost dawn, Dr. Lu was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and followed the crowd yawning. Later, we walked into the church together and prepared to take a rest.
"In two hours, it will be the best time to broadcast today. Let's wait until the end of listening before going to rest." Laura said.
Dr. Lu said listlessly: "I can't do it anymore, let me wait for a while...Call me when the time is up."
Seeing that he was really sleepy, he yawned and tears were about to fall, Qi Leren patted him on the shoulder: "You might as well go back to sleep and let Du Yue accompany you."
"Aren't you sleepy?" Doctor Lu muttered.
"It's okay." Qi Leren also felt a little tired, but it was probably due to the severe torture he had suffered by Chen Baiqi. His energy was better than before, and it didn't matter if he stayed up all night.
"Forget it, I'll just squat on the recliner here for a while, it's only two hours, I'm too lazy to go." Dr. Lu muttered and yawned again.
Seeing that he was pitifully sleepy, Laura smiled and said, "Then you can't sleep on the recliner, it will be bad if you catch a cold."
The Qile people suddenly remembered about the glowing stone: "Laura, do you remember that glowing stone? You and Francis found it in the cave yesterday."
"Oh, what's wrong?" Laura asked puzzled.
"Before we went to find Xue Jiahui, we passed by the church to look at the stones, and found... it's a bit strange anyway, so you should come and see it too." Qi Leren solemnly said.
Laura nodded, and walked towards the room in the side hall of the church with Francis.
Pushing open the unlocked door, the ancient room was illuminated by the extreme sunlight from the broken window. But the first thing people who walked into this room would see was Xue Jiahui lying on the ground, not the stone in the corner that had turned into two pieces that had lost its luster.
"Xue Jiahui!" Qi Leren let out a low cry, and Dr. Lu, who was about to fall asleep, hurried up to check her condition.
"She's still alive, her breathing and heartbeat are normal." Dr. Lu touched the side of her neck and let out a long breath.
"Why is she here?" Du Yue wondered.
"I'll know when she wakes up." Qi Leren said, looking at the stone that no longer glowed.
He was busy performing for the audience before, but he didn't notice the dried blood on the surface of the rock that seeped into the crevices. Thinking of the blood-stained bandages found in Anne's room, he inevitably connected the two things together .
Could it be that the monster in the stone was awakened because of Anne's blood? This makes sense. As a member of the Deep Sea Cult, it is only natural for Annie to recognize this stone. Although she was resting in the house because of physical discomfort that day, but when Mark saw the stone, he probably told Annie .
But even if this guess is made out, it will not be recognized. After all, these contestants don't know what a terrible monster has appeared here... After Xue Jiahui wakes up, find a chance for her to identify the picture of the octopus. In this way, the logical chain can be supplemented, which is what the people of Qi Le planned.
More than an hour later, the contestants came to the church one after another, waiting for the announcement at eight o'clock. Jing Siyu was already much better. She came here with her younger sister Jing Sixue. Annie also came. When she saw Xue Jiahui, she chose Mei: "Didn't you say she disappeared?"
"The person I found more than an hour ago is in the room in the side hall of the church. Also, the luminous stone we found on the first day has been broken... something is wrong." Laura said solemnly.
Janet, who had just arrived, smiled mockingly and did not speak.
Xue Jiahui, who was placed on the recliner, groaned softly, and everyone looked at her. She slowly opened her eyes and looked around in confusion.
"Are you all right?" Laura asked softly, sitting down beside her.
Xue Jiahui opened her mouth and asked hoarsely, "Who are you?"
When it was over, Qi Leren groaned in his heart. The important clue NPC lost the chain at a critical moment, and he still used the bloody method of amnesia, which simply cut off the possibility of obtaining information. He had a vague feeling that the boss this time was most likely the "octopus" mentioned in their discussion before, but besides knowing that the octopus is a parasitic alien species, what are its habits and combat effectiveness, and whether it will Breeding fast, he doesn't know anything about it now.
When Qi Le people were struggling, Laura had already asked about Xue Jiahui's situation. She actually lost her memory. She even forgot who she was. Obviously, it was impossible to remember that she had done a show about "Octopus".
Janet supported her forehead and sighed pretentiously: "I've had enough of cooperating with the show, and even lost my memory. I think it's no problem for Ms. Xue to win yesterday's best."
As soon as the voice fell, the player started: "Now broadcast the voting results, the best winner of the second day today is - Qi Leren."
All the people present turned their eyes to Qi Leren in the crowd. Janet, who was slapped in the face on the spot, looked at Qi Leren with a particularly unkind look. Dr. Lu was more excited than he had won the best, and said happily : "Congratulations, treat me and Du Yue to dinner later!"
"Thank you... um, thank you all the audience, thank you for your support and love." The people of Qi Le remembered that there were audiences, so they had to smile, pretending to be very happy, but their brains were spinning fast: how could he be named the best yesterday? ? Is it because he found the glowing stone broken? Or because of other reasons
A lot of things actually happened on the second day of this reality show: Jing Siyu fell into the basement, Mark and He Yi disappeared, searched the basement, Xue Jiahui disappeared and lost her memory...
He was involved in almost every one of these incidents, probably because of his active performance and occasional "flash of inspiration" discoveries that allowed him to get so many votes, right? Qi Leren thought.
"It's a pity. I thought that Ms. Xue would get the best, but it turned out to be Qi. It seems that the audience has a better impression of hardworking and obedient actors." Janet looked at Xue Jiahui's expression with a playful mockery.
Xue Jiahui looked confused and at a loss, and Qi Leren couldn't see the sense of disobedience from her face. He was no longer sure what happened to Xue Jiahui. If someone really knocked her out and took her away, who would it be
"It's still strange. The three of us visited the church after eleven o'clock in the evening. At that time, there was no one in that room. Afterwards, we went to find Xue Jiahui, and the journey only took ten minutes at most. Why did Xue Jiahui Will she be hidden in this room? Who transported her there? How did the perpetrator avoid other people?" Dr. Lu muttered, frowning more and more tightly, with a very distressed look.
"I'm afraid only the audience will know." Laura smiled wryly, "After all, we have no way to check these cameras."
"It's a pity that we can't ask the audience outside the stadium for help," Francis said.
"Actually, it's not impossible." Qi Leren said suddenly.
"Do you have a communicator?" Janet looked at Qi Leren suspiciously.
"No, I'm the same as you. I don't have any other tools except a knife. Fixed cameras are installed inside and outside the church. The audience in front of the screen knows exactly who brought Xue Jiahui here, as long as they tell us that The name of the person, everything is clear." Qi Leren looked at the announcer and said slowly.
Laura's eyes lit up: "You mean..."
Qi Leren smiled and nodded.
Although it is said that this player will only broadcast the name of the best person, even just one name will play a huge role in helping them solve the current puzzle.
"Senior is amazing!" Du Yue actually clapped his hands on the spot, his admiration was beyond words, Doctor Lu covered his face with one hand and covered his mouth with the other, it's really embarrassing for this fanboy's exaggerated praise regardless of the occasion!
"That's an idea too, but will the audience cooperate?" Francis asked.
"Try it, you come?" Qi Le people greeted Laura.
Laura nodded, took a deep breath, and then solemnly said: "Hello, audience friends, welcome to our program. Today is the third day of the program, and many unexpected accidents happened, especially The accident that happened to Xue Jiahui. We are unable to find out who actually knocked her out and took her to this small room in the church. We also don’t know what the motive is. Choose the best time of the day and vote for the person who committed the crime. This is very important to us, please help us, thank you!"
