Chapter 70 The Eve
Chapter 70 The Eve
Longjing started from the surrounding traces, calculated and thought about it a little, and came to a conclusion.
"There should be two people who have struggled here. Judging from the extent of the mud turning caused by the struggle, they should be two adult men."
He paused: "But I came to this conclusion because I didn't see faces other than Shawen and the stewardess Polona in the ghost summoned by the fake captain last night."
"And judging from the activities of these people, the two young men should have acted together, and then they were taken to sacrifice together by the captain."
Listening to Longjing's conclusion, He Su also thought of something: "There was another person we didn't meet last night."
"Aunt Harley, where is she?"
Xiao Jia stared at the dark bottom of the cave: "Will she be with the captain?"
Long Jing didn't confirm his words, because he couldn't be sure which side this aunt was from, and he couldn't be sure whether she was a player or an ordinary NPC.
He rubbed his forehead.
After the tears flowed in vain for several minutes, they finally returned to normal and stopped gushing.
But his chest was still a little stuffy, Longjing decided to make a cup of afternoon tea for himself when he went out later, it was hot and sweet, and he would feel better after drinking it.
"Don't we know if we go out and find her?"
He Su and Xiao Jia agreed with Longjing's statement.
But Xiao Jia walked halfway, and suddenly turned around and asked Longjing: "Aren't you sleepy? You haven't slept all night. I remember you used to be very sleepy."
Longjing shook his head resolutely.
He was indeed not sleepy, Xiao Jia didn't say that he hadn't thought of it yet, and now that he brought it up, he felt really strange.
Could it be that he has had enough sleep since he was a child?
Then will he be able to sleep only three or four hours a day like Guan Yue?
Seeing that Longjing really wasn't very sleepy, Xiao Jia felt relieved for the time being.
Several people went down the mountain and started to walk towards the camp by the beach.
They planned to find some food and fresh water first. After fighting for so long last night, it was very exhausting in the survival dungeon.
And replenishing physical strength can only rely on food, fresh water and sleep.
But when they arrived at the camp, they only saw a mess all over the place.
The entire camp has withstood the impact of sea waves, and it is estimated that it has also withstood the looting of those players who rushed over the next morning.
Except for a few twigs, nothing was left for the belated few.
He Su had expected this situation a long time ago. She took out the Marconi lighter from her pocket, played with it a few times, and then said to Longjing: "I had expected this situation a long time ago, so I put it on That backpack was hidden."
As she spoke, she walked to the grass in front of the dense forest and dug out two boxes of well-sealed biscuits.
"Let's eat something first. I suspect that those players may join forces and attack us."
He Su washed the surface of the biscuit box with sea water, then tore it open and took out a piece. After taking a bite, it was still brittle.
She continued: "After all, the relationship between the three of us who knew each other has now been exposed."
She handed the biscuit to Longjing, Longjing took it symbolically and swallowed two pieces in one gulp, and passed it to Xiao Jia instead without taking any more.
"In other words, for the remaining players, we are indeed the most dangerous existence other than those boss octopuses." He Su clapped his hands and shook off the cookie crumbs, "Even if we say it a hundred times and a thousand times, we won't be right." They did it, but it's unlikely they'd believe us, maybe pretend to believe us, and then stab us in the back when we let our guard down."
Longjing: "You mean the chain of suspicion?"
"The horror of this dungeon lies here. You will never be able to guess a person's heart, so you will never be able to truly trust a person." When Xiao Jia said this, he seemed to think of something, and saw his inexplicable expression. He hooked the corners of his lips, and then added, "Of course, if Chen Chuci is here, there is indeed a chance to break this chain of suspicion."
He Su's expression froze when he heard his words.
"You're fine, don't mention him in front of me, I'm very annoying now. The kind of annoying that you want to rush out and pick on a group of them alone."
Longjing: "Tonight is the fourth day, and there are four octopuses on the fourth day, so four people need to be sacrificed to make them leave... And we can confirm that the survivors are you, me, Xiao Jia, and Marconi , Alice, old gentleman, Vasily."
"A total of seven people, except for the four tonight, tomorrow will be four people facing five giant octopuses."
"That doesn't seem quite right—wait a minute, are there other NPC survivors besides the ones we know?"
Longjing overturned the previous number of survivors and started counting again: "The dead include Shawen, the captain, five young people, the bearded uncle, and the flight attendant Polona."
"The ones who are not sure if they died are the young woman, Uncle Modly and Uncle LaVine, and Aunt Harley."
"It is confirmed that Marconi, the old man, Alice, and Vasily survived."
"Alice is basically impossible to cooperate with us, so Marconi and the old man are left as players we can win..."
He Su frowned and asked, "We seem to be sure that there are only seven players. Who is the remaining one?"
Xiao Jia: "First of all, Vasily is ruled out. It is impossible for him to participate in the difficulty of our dungeon. I have tested that his combat level is basically at the level of elementary school students."
He Su added: "Then I can rule out those two uncles. Their luggage happened to be in the suitcases that you carried back. I observed that they were very familiar with their movements when packing their own luggage. It doesn't seem like Camouflaged."
Then, the two looked at Longjing at the same time.
There is still a little expectation in the eyes.
Longjing: "...you have all eliminated, what else do you want me to eliminate?"
Xiao Jia said seriously: "You can choose one of the four."
Longjing muttered: "I can only get two out of ten true or false questions, are you sure you want me to guess?"
He suddenly remembered something, and immediately took out the "Guardian" metal sheet that sister Xu gave him from his pocket.
It is recorded on the metal sheet: [Current number of surviving players: 7/10. 】
"I remember."
"Yesterday... no, do you remember the night before yesterday?"
Longjing took back his own metal sheet, which contained some of his skills and props, which were not easy to expose, so he took it back very quickly.
He just glanced at the metal piece roughly, and found that all of Chen Chuci's "secret cabinet" property had been transferred to his name, and it was probably placed in Chen Chuci's hidden space.
There are so many items of props and skills, it is a true portrayal of getting rich overnight.
But when he saw the extra things on the metal sheet, Longjing felt his breath stagnate, and the heaviness in his chest became more obvious.
Longjing took a deep breath and continued: "I was the only one who stayed awake the whole time. The watchmen that day were Shawen and Uncle Modly. I heard the sound of fighting outside at that time. I guess Shawen was resisting that Captain. We are now basically sure that the captain is the only 'breaker' with all the conditions to commit the crime, but I think Alice may also be the 'breaker'. She killed the flight attendant Polona to prevent her skills Failed, Polona revealed her player's identity."
"So Polona won't be a player."
"And we know that one player is dead now. Among the dead, the only one who has the potential to be a player is Shawen, and she is the player."
"If I had to find a reason, it might be because the captain wanted to store the living people sacrificed to the octopus." Longjing habitually rubbed the hilt of the bone, "but he guessed wrongly about Shawen's identity, and was She broke free halfway through and then started fighting and had to kill the other party in the end."
Xiao Jia: "I found that the gap in their living sacrifice clearance may not be as big as you predicted before."
"Alice and the captain are in the same group, so she should have at least three living chips in her hand - Vasily and the two uncles."
"As long as she can catch another living person, she can control the situation on the fourth night!"
He Su pouted: "I hate the feeling that the situation is out of control, Longjing, you shouldn't have gone back then."
Xiao Jia was in a bad mood: "As long as Alice can find a teammate, she will be the winner with the highest probability of clearing the level through human sacrifice."
Longjing retorted: "But not necessarily tonight."
"There is a living gap in her hand. To become her 'teammate' is to face a huge risk of being abandoned tonight. At the same time, it is impossible for her to give her chips to her 'teammate' , because her 'teammates' can spend the fourth night safely as long as they sacrifice her to the octopus."
He Suzhang let out a sigh of relief: "You guys make me, a puzzle solver, very invisible."
Xiao Jia was amused by her words.
"Chen Chuci taught it, how could it be a puzzle solver?"
He Su punched him.
"Okay, I've basically sorted out the situation now." She held a small parasol and glanced at the sky, gloomy, "It's raining, bloody day."
Xiao Jia looked at He Su and asked, "Then you, a puzzle solver, tell me, what should we do next?"
He Su: "Aren't you very confident?"
She watched Xiao Jia finish eating the biscuits and then put the empty biscuit box on a branch, and then he took out a humble compass from his arms.
This compass has no needles.
Xiao Jia shook the compass: "This prop is a bit like the astrolabe in Shuiguli. I managed to get it."
"Did you think I was the kid Vasily who was rescued casually? I felt that he was the most likely to be used among us, so I put a compass pin on him, so that we can use it as long as we need it." Find him anytime, anywhere."
He Su sneered at this: "You fucking saved him because he blocked that octopus claw for you. You 'breakers of the contract' are really - you are just as virtuous as Chen Chuci!"
This time Xiao Jia did not refute.
"Let's go, find someone."
