Judgment Day [Unlimited]

Chapter 15

To be honest, Xie Xingyin didn't particularly think in this direction at first.

"No, can't it?" Lao Liang's protruding Adam's apple rolled, "Could it still be transformed into a human form?"

He laughed awkwardly twice, his expression still stiff.

It's really possible.

There were too many people who were not present that day, and it is impossible to verify who the suspect is.

If you have to say suspicious, there are quite a few suspicious people.

Jia Ming himself was quite suspicious.

"I dare not go back after what you say. Who knows if the person sleeping under the same roof as me is a human or a ghost." Lao Liang yelled "Oh, oh, oh".

If Jia Ming is telling the truth, the situation is quite outrageous.Who among them is really not a human being, and no one has ever discovered it.

Lao Liang also put on a serious face and said solemnly. "If there is, it must be him!"

Xie Xingyin lowered his head in the direction he pointed, and saw Xiao Lu sitting on his lap.Xiao Lu raised his face, the corners of his mouth drooped a little, as if he had been bullied, and looked at Xie Xingyin aggrievedly.

Xie Xingyin: "..."

"There's something wrong with this little bastard! You're the one I'm talking about, don't think I didn't see that you're always rubbing and hugging Xiao Xie. Don't use the lie that you're afraid of ghosts to fool people, you still feel wronged when you're greedy Come on!" Lao Liang yelled.

Xie Xingyin frowned.There's nothing wrong with children being afraid of ghosts, what Lao Liang said was outrageous.

"Okay, okay, what do you care about with him?"

Lao Liang looked at Xiao Lu, then at Xie Xingyin, flicked his sleeves and sat down again, grabbed the water glass and drank water to calm down.

Xie Xingyin glanced out the moonlit window.

Sometimes Xiao Lu's behavior is really strange, sometimes he doesn't look like a person of this age, and sometimes he is very childish.But Xiao Lu could tell the name of his community, Xie Xingyin didn't suspect him.

"At first, I thought Jia Ming was a strange person. He had time to commit crimes, and he targeted me everywhere, hiding the matter of the secret room from us." Xie Xingyin lowered his eyes, "...but now, why does Jia Ming put these things To tell us?"

Lao Liang let out a "tsk" and felt a headache: "[-]% think I'm fine, and his conscience found out that he wanted to save my life. If you want me to say, Lao Xie, Jia Ming is also very clear about the things in the main city. It’s right to come from outside.”

Xie Xingyin also nodded.Jia Ming may have selfish intentions, but he should not be "those things".

Lao Liang: "The NPCs in the ordinary missions are quite mentally handicapped... just like the old man in the detective agency, it seems strange at first glance. They have been living in the world of Truman and don't understand the outside world."

But if Jia Ming is okay, who would it be?

Xiaoyan, Li Wei, those two female high school students, or a couple in mink fur coats?Or is it Lao Liang and Xiao Lu in front of him?

Xie Xingyin's doubts were still not dispelled.

"We've been busy looking for clues these days, and we really have very few observations of other climbers."

As far as he is concerned, Xie Xingyin is not a person who is particularly good at dealing with others.

Lao Liang hurriedly said: "I am the best at observing words and emotions. We do fortune-telling and palm reading without relying on anything else, all rely on a pair of eyes and a mouth, talking to people when we see people, and talking nonsense when we see people. I don't know anything else. Dan's skills are learned very clearly."

"Then what have you learned from your observations these days?"

Lao Liang touched his chin and thought for a while: "Jia Ming is a living person, and his temper is quite violent."

"Those female high school students came together, they all know each other, the possibility of fraud is very small."

"The same goes for the mink couple."

"Li Wei is sick these days, I didn't pay attention."

"Brother Biao and the three of them are wiped out, that's definitely not the case."

"—so that leaves you and the little bastard named Lu." Lao Liang insisted, "I think you are quite normal, but this little bastard is really weird, maybe he approached you with an ulterior motive .”

"..." Xie Xingyin originally thought that his speculation was quite reasonable, but he didn't expect that he turned around and turned to Xiao Lu again.

"No, let's skip this topic. He lived in the same community as me before, so he must have come from outside."

Lao Liang said "Ah?" and scratched his head: "Is that so, no wonder. Let me tell you, why is this kid clinging to you..."

"Speaking of which, I have an idea." Xie Xingyin said, "But it's too risky, and it may not succeed. It's better not to try unless it's absolutely necessary."

—

On this day, they basically questioned all the people who could ask questions, but everyone was somewhat wary of him.

Cooperation is completely out of play.

Jia Ming was the last to come back that night, and he didn't answer any questions. He just said that he went to 1404 to investigate and didn't see any human-faced dogs.

He didn't listen to the advice and went upstairs alone, Xie Xingyin was quite dissatisfied with this.

The two argued for a few words, and suddenly heard crying outside.

"What happened again?" Jia Ming frowned.

The two walked over and saw that the lady in the mink fur coat was leaning against the door and crying: "I...my husband hasn't come back yet, I have to wait for my husband..."

When the other people heard her words, their hearts tightened, and they knew that the man was probably in danger.

"It's too late, just leave it alone. Close the door."

"Go and see him tomorrow."

The others tried to persuade her, but the woman shook her head and refused, crying and whining about how loving she and her husband were, how much she and her husband loved each other, how she didn't want to live if he didn't come back, and so on.

Finally, Jia Ming got tired of hearing it, grabbed her arm, pushed her back into the room, and closed the door with a "bang".

The bell of the door guard rang, Xie Xingyin glanced at Jia Ming, and went back to his room before turning off the lights.

—

That night, Xie Xingyin was full of worries and did not fall asleep in the first half of the night.

Xiao Lu leaned beside him, his thick eyelashes not trembling, and he slept soundly.

Xie Xingyin thought about many things, but in the end he didn't know how he fell asleep.

Sleeping until midnight, his head was drowsy, when he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

The voice was like a soul, and it was continuous, distant and ethereal.

Awakened by the sound, Xie Xingyin opened his eyes at once, but what caught his eyes was not the ceiling, but the door.

——I don't know when, he has already reached the entrance.

Xie Xingyin swallowed.

Xiao Lu on the bed was still sleeping deeply, with his back turned to this side, and he could only see his back wrapped in a quilt.

The call came from the door.Xie Xingyin was used to hearing stories like "Don't answer when someone calls your name in the middle of the night", so now he also shut his mouth tightly and refused to answer.

The person who called him seemed to be getting impatient, and Xie Xingyin heard what he was saying clearly.

"Brother Xie, run!" the voice said urgently while knocking on the door.

Xie Xingyin was startled, and someone knocked on the door in front of him.

He quickly looked into the cat's eyes, and when he saw the person outside the door, he was taken aback again.

The one standing at the door turned out to be Xiao Lu.Xiao Lu was flustered, and the ethereal voice came through the door, feeling very far away.

Xiao Lu eagerly knocked on the door. "Brother Xie, brother Xie, come out quickly, there is a problem with this room!"

Xie Xingyin felt a chill down his spine.

Wasn't Xiao Lu still sleeping on the bed just now, why did he run outside in a blink of an eye?

With an ominous premonition shrouded in his heart, Xie Xingyin suppressed his panic and turned his head slowly.

——The boy who was sleeping on the bed with his back turned to him, turned his head in a posture that was impossible for humans, and showed him a sinister smile.

The knock on the door became more and more urgent, and "Xiao Lu" slammed on the door to make him run.

But Xie Xingyin took a closer look through the cat's eyes, where was Xiao Lu standing at the door——the familiar head was connected to the body of a dog!

Xiao Lu, is it really Xiao Lu who has the problem?

Xie Xingyin knew that he couldn't open the door, but his right hand slowly put on the doorknob as if he was out of his control...

"Thank you! What are you doing!"

The sudden shout was a bit deafening, Xie Xingyin suddenly opened his eyes——

When he saw that his hand was already on the doorknob, a thin layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out.

The clock on the wall said three o'clock in the morning.

Xie Xingyin regained his composure and took a closer look, the little Lu in front of him was very normal.

So just now... was it a hallucination?

When he looked out of the cat's eye again, the outside was empty, the corridor was pitch black, and there was nothing.

"Brother Xie, are you okay?" Xiao Lu supported his arm.

Xie Xingyin waved his hand, took two steps on his numb calf, away from the deadly door. "It's okay, I don't know why I have hallucinations."

When he reacted, he was a little scared.Fortunately, Xiao Lu discovered the abnormality in time, otherwise he would not be the only one who was unlucky.

"Could it be that human-faced dogs can also create illusions?" Xie Xingyin remembered that Brother Biao and the others saw "Cockscomb Head" come back before they died, and opened the door in panic, it must be an illusion.

Xie Xingyin sat back on the bed and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.

"It's terrible, I almost got tricked into opening the door—" If Xiao Lu didn't stop him in time, he would not only have finished playing when the door opened, but he would also have to catch Xiao Lu.

"Or you can tie my hands up, so you won't be able to open the door." Xie Xingyin was a bit self-defeating, and blurted out this sentence for some reason.

Xiao Lu raised his eyebrows, and actually pulled a towel to tie up his wrists.

It was loosely wrapped around the thin wrist, obviously not tight, but the other party couldn't break free.It's inexplicably interesting.

Lu Fen remembered that when he met Xie Xingyin in the Forbidden Forest that day, he was bound tightly by the devil vine like that, with a stubborn but helpless expression on his face.

That's really beautiful.

—

the next morning.

Everyone found the mink coat and her husband's body in the elevator car.

"Why did someone die again? Once he died, two people died." Lao Liang muttered with two dark circles under his eyes.He looked miserable, obviously not sleeping well.

Xie Xingyin quietly told him what happened last night.

"...Probably because the Human Face Dog failed on my side, and then went to the mink coat."

"No wonder." Old Liang also said in a low voice, "Since the human-faced dog can create terrifying illusions, Brother Biao and the others probably saw the cockscomb head in the illusion that night, so they were scared to death."

After speaking, he was silent again, as if thinking of something terrible.

"Then, tell me..." Lao Liang swallowed.

Xie Xingyin nodded.

"If the Human Face Dog really has the ability to transform. If it turns into a human and hides among us, we may not be able to find it."

—

This time, no trace of the spell was found on the body, Jia Ming finally had no way to shift the responsibility to Xie Xingyin.

The mink couple died, leaving an empty room.

Xie Xingyin had to separate from Xiao Lu and move in.

Xiao Lu seemed reluctant, so Xie Xingyin had no choice but to comfort him: "It will be the fifth night soon, and tonight is probably going to be very dangerous. It seems that the human-faced dog has already set its sights on me, so it's better for you to live separately from me. "

After everyone dispersed, Li Wei rarely came out of the room.

Her complexion is still very bad, her lips are so dry that she can't walk steadily, she needs Xiaoyan to hold her arm to stand still.

Looking at her pale and fragile face, Xie Xingyin sighed and comforted her.

"Just hold on to it for another two days, and we'll be able to go out soon."

Li Wei smiled slightly, but the whole person looked lifeless.

Everyone else knows it.That being said, no one actually knows what awaits them next.

The Face Dog must be caught as soon as possible, or they will all die here.

—

Xiaoyan came here with his companions, and he knows the situation in City A well in reality, and now they have classified them into the trustworthy range, and they have pulled them over to discuss together.

"Who do you think Human Face Dog is most likely to be?"

"I-I have an idea."

After listening to their narration, Xiaoyan raised his hand weakly: "Do you still remember when you first assembled in the detective agency, which one of you were the first to arrive?"

"I don't remember much."

Xiaoyan said again: "We came quite early. I think we all climbed the tower from outside, but the human-faced dog has been here all the time. Which one do you think it will arrive first?"

No matter how you think about it, the people who were in the detective agency early in the morning are the most suspicious.

Xie Xingyin felt that it made sense: "I came late, only the couple in mink fur coats were not present."

"Let's think about it... When I arrived, you three little girls, the three of Brother Biao, Miss Li Wei, and Jia Ming were already there." Lao Liang said, "The little bastard surnamed Lu came sooner than later." I'm a little late."

"Liang Daochang happened to come after us." Xiaoyan frowned and said, "The only ones who are older than us are Brother Biao, Xiaowei, and Jia Ming."

"Brother Biao and the others are dead, only Li Wei and Jia Ming are left."

Xie Xingyin frowned.No matter who these two people are, he is not very willing to believe intellectually.Jia Ming knows what's going on outside, and Li Wei has been running a fever for real.

"Then I'll ask." Xie Xingyin stood up.

Xie Xingyin walked to Li Wei's door, knocked for a long time but got no response, the door was locked, it was not known if Li Wei was sleeping.

Go around to Jia Ming's room and find that Jia Ming is not there.

Helpless, Xie Xingyin had no choice but to go back.

"No response, wait for Jia Ming to come back and ask again."

But Lao Liang listened and slapped his thigh.

"Good opportunity!" He jumped up and pulled Xie Xingyin, "Let's go! Go steal something!"

"...?" Xie Xingyin was dragged by Lao Liang with a dazed expression, watching him stealthily pull out a wire and pry open the door of Jia Ming's room.

"Isn't it good for you to do this?" Miss Xiaoyan watched him do bad things hesitantly.

"What's the matter? To deal with the enemy, you need to surprise the enemy." Lao Liang pushed the door openly and confidently, "Old Xie, I know that guy has a notebook, which is specially used for memorizing things, and he secretly keeps it from me. Probably It’s not very easy to use here, you have to write down all the clues so you won’t forget them.”

Xie Xingyin was also eager to find the answer, and in his heart he acquiesced to Lao Liang's unkind approach.

Under the leadership of Lao Liang, they rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and soon found a diary.

The kind of cowhide book commonly used by writers, Jia Ming used it to sort out clues.

Worried that Jia Ming would come back midway, the two quickly flipped through it.

It turned out that Jia Ming discovered the dark room based on the gap between the bathroom and the outside.

Jia Ming thought that the newspaper on May 5 was taken by Xie Xingyin.He had been doubting Xie Xingyin all along, so he had to be willing to tell the truth.

Lao Liang frowned: "Old Xie, you can't take it all by yourself. To be honest, have you ever seen the newspaper on May 5?"

"No. I got one less when I got it."

"So, what key information might there be in the newspaper on May 5?" Old Liang rubbed his chin.

But where did it go?

Who didn't want them to see that paper?

Lao Liang hated to use his brain the most, and when he used his brain, he was so hot that he was sweating all over his body.He fumbled in his pocket, and found that he had forgotten the folding fan, so he fanned it with the diary.

Just after shaking it twice, something flashed out of the corner of my eye.

——It turned out that something in the spine of the book was thrown out by him.
