After washing up calmly, Cheng Yu dressed neatly and walked out of his room. It was already ten forty.
Walking downstairs slowly, there was no one in the hall.
This is obviously a normal situation.
In the past few days, apart from Cheng Yu himself, the only people who often appeared in the hall were Deng Jingliang and Bai Xiaowen.
But now that Bai Xiaowen is dead, Deng Jingliang obviously knows that he is no longer suitable to stay on the other side of the pool table and pretend to be nothing.
Especially since it is already past breakfast time and there is still a long time before lunch, if there are people in the hall, it will appear that they have ulterior motives.
Cheng Yu walked towards the kitchen and heard the sound of Old London rolling around inside. He walked straight to the restaurant and walked in while saying hello to Old London.
"Old London, don't worry about cleaning up now. I got up late. Wait until I get some food first and then you can clean up."
Old London turned around, facing Cheng Yu with the side with the LED light, and said, "Mr. Cheng, you came at the right time. If you were five minutes later, I would have dumped all the remaining food."
Into the sewer."
Cheng Yu frowned slightly and said, "Is it so wasteful? Throw away all the uneaten food?"
"There is no one else on the island. If you don't throw it away, you will have to wait until the next day to feed the distinguished guests. This is not in line with the host's hospitality..."
Cheng Yu curled his lips and thought, how does your master treat guests? Although he didn't kill, burn or loot, if he really needed to do this, I don't think he would care, right? At least three people have died on the island.
, although it wasn't that Shi Lei who killed her, but she simply died in his hands.
Since it was already beyond the breakfast time, although Cheng Yu had certain privileges, he didn't want Old London to do anything for him anymore, so he poured a glass of milk and took another bowl which was quite warm.
After some hot white porridge, some side dishes, a boiled egg and a piece of fried glutinous rice cake, he told Old London that he had enough, and he could do with the other things as he pleased.
While eating, Cheng Yu looked at Old London cleaning up the mess and asked casually: "Has everyone else come for breakfast today?"
Old London was holding a huge tray and putting the remaining food on the serving table into the tray one by one.
It said: "Only Mr. Guo and Ms. Su came to have breakfast this morning."
Cheng Yu frowned slightly, and his heart sank slightly. It seemed that the worst thing he could think of might have actually happened.
However, if something happened to Liu Manman, it would be normal for him not to come to have breakfast, but as the murderer, Deng Jingliang did not come to have breakfast either? In any case, appearing in front of everyone pretending that nothing happened can obviously be done to a certain extent.
Reduce your own suspicion.
Moreover, since Deng Jingliang has found a way to announce his relationship with Liu Manman, he should be able to go straight to Liu Manman's door after leaving the house today without any hesitation, knock on the door, and ask Liu Manman to come downstairs to eat together.
Breakfast. Without getting Liu Manman's answer, everyone can confirm Liu Manman's death.
But why didn't he do this?
Cheng Yu was really confused.
While eating the piece of fried glutinous rice cake, Cheng Yu asked vaguely: "Old Nengden, did Ge Ping'an and Shi Shi come together?"
Old London stopped what he was doing and turned to face Cheng Yu. It was obvious that he failed to understand Cheng Yu's words.
If this were a human being, and combined with the context, it would not be difficult to determine that Cheng Yu was talking about "Old London, did Guo Ping'an and Su Xi come together?" However, Old London is just a robot, and it is required to combine it with the context.
It's really a bit difficult for it.
Cheng Yu also realized that what he said was too unclear. He chewed twice in succession, swallowed the mouthful of glutinous rice cake in his mouth, and repeated the question again.
Old London returned to his busy state and responded with a voice: "Mr. Guo came down at nine o'clock sharp and asked Old London to order a bowl of noodles. He specifically asked for more noodles, and then he ate with that bowl of noodles.
I ordered six meat buns. It only took about ten minutes in total. After eating, I went out.
She didn’t say anything to Old London. Ms. Su came down around 9:40. After entering, she got milk and toast and asked Old London to fry a sunny-side-up egg for her. She also asked if anyone else had come down.
After eating, I went back upstairs and I haven’t appeared on the first floor again until now.”
So, these two people didn't come together? It seems that everyone thought about it last night. The reason why they didn't go to the beach to wait today was because they felt that it would be useless. On the other hand, I'm afraid it was also because of each other.
You should all be a little wary.
Even after confirming the cousin relationship between Deng Jingliang and Liu Manman, it seems that after the two people have a natural alliance, Guo Ping'an and Su Xi should naturally be bound, but obviously, everyone has more on their minds, and the various interests and risks.
The relationship was also analyzed thoroughly, so the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not try to further unite with each other. On the contrary, they gradually drifted apart, and they were not as close to each other as before.
What's the reason? Firstly, it's basically a foregone conclusion that Su Xi killed Bai Xiaowen. After all, even the secret room method was cracked by Cheng Yu. Secondly, it's also because of what Cheng Yu was thinking last night. I'm afraid it's also everyone.
What I was thinking was that no matter whether these two people had sex or not last night,
Anyone who has tried to attack other people knows that as long as someone dies today, especially if one of the cousins ​​dies, the balance between Guo Pingan and Su Xi will inevitably be broken.
It is impossible to be alone with each other like yesterday without any grudges.
There is no doubt that Guo Ping'an does not intend to explore the life and death of other people too much, but that is not because he is open-minded, nor because he has never thought of putting others to death, but because he does not care too much, or that
He knew very well that no matter who among the three people died, he would face the cooperation of the remaining two people.
Yes, this is the situation Guo Pingan will almost inevitably face.
Of course, different combinations will have some corresponding changes, but in the general direction, Guo Ping'an is almost bound to be in a one-on-two situation.
Therefore, he might as well just do his own thing. As long as he knows that he has not attacked anyone, let them decide the life and death of others. To put it bluntly, it is none of his business.
And Su Xi's reaction was also normal.
She went downstairs, basically convinced that Guo Ping'an would be fine, so she just needed to confirm this.
Old London told her that if Guo Ping'an came to have breakfast and went out, then Su Xi would know, or the situation would be the same as yesterday, and no one died on Christmas Eve last night, so the siblings still have a natural alliance advantage, but
It was obviously impossible for her and Guo Ping'an to return to the state they were in yesterday. They could only reluctantly maintain a union, but each had their own grudges in their hearts and appeared to be inseparable. However, this could maintain a basic balance.
And if last night was not Christmas Eve and someone died, there is no doubt that the deceased appeared between that pair of siblings.
As for who of the two died, Su Xi actually understood that everyone was almost equally suspected. On the surface, it seemed that Deng Jingliang was more eager to take action. The fact that he consciously mentioned his relationship with Liu Manman yesterday fully demonstrated that
However, it does not prevent some people from taking full advantage of this point and trying to attribute more doubts to Deng Jingliang.
Su Xi thinks so, and she also understands that Guo Ping'an will undoubtedly think so too. Therefore, neither of them will doubt Deng Jingliang more, but will equally doubt the other two except themselves.
As for if the person who died last night was Deng Jingliang, there would be nothing to say. It is still a situation where everyone could be the murderer.
Therefore, after Su Xi confirmed Guo Ping'an's safety, she already knew what the situation was like today.
No one died, just like yesterday. If someone died, then Guo Ping'an would face a one-on-two situation, unless one of the three gave up completely.
But at this moment, even if someone really wants to give up, how can the other two people believe him? Giving up at this moment is not only giving up this competition with a prize of up to 100 million US dollars, but also
That person's own life.
To give up, you must take death as a lesson, there is no other way.
So Su Xi ate breakfast peacefully and went upstairs without worrying about how many people were left on the island today.
While eating his late breakfast, Cheng Yu touched the side of his nose and whispered to himself in a low voice with emotion: "You are so heartless. Yesterday, everyone pretended to be close friends with me.
It's a good day today, actually
However, no one asked about me. Although I am considered half an outsider, theoretically no one will target me, but it is not necessarily the case that someone will find another way to do some ingenious tricks and attack me first, right? Why don't you ask?
"
Although he was just talking to himself in a very low voice, it obviously did not prevent Old London from "listening" to Cheng Yu's words.
I saw it reply: "When human beings stand under a dangerous wall but are not allowed to leave, they are only concerned about their own danger, and it is difficult to take into account the safety of others. This is also human nature."
Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's not just like this for humans. This is the law of the biological world. It's the same for all animals. If you don't have time to take care of yourself, how can you have enough time to help the world? I'm not blaming anyone, I'm just myself.
Talking to myself is just a sigh. Old London, you don’t have to answer me."
Old London said, "I thought Mr. Cheng was chatting with Old London. Please forgive me for not being able to distinguish between lines and narration..."
Cheng Yu was stunned again, amused by the comparison between Old London's lines and the narration, but when he thought about it carefully, let alone say that it was really accurate. After all, what he said just now should strictly speaking be an inner activity, but inner activities are not.
Cheng Yu again
If you say it to yourself, it will not become an inner activity. The narration is really an extremely accurate wording. If the conversation between Cheng Yu and Old London is regarded as a line, the paragraph just now is not Cheng Yu's.
Yu's inner narration?
After finishing the food at hand, Cheng Yu decided not to care about what happened last night. Presumably everything will come to light by lunch, right?
After grabbing a bottle of mineral water, Cheng Yu left the villa and walked slowly towards the dock.
After passing the big pavilion, Cheng Yu quickly arrived at the gate of the manor.
Then, he saw Guo Pingan's figure among the trees on the right side, seeming to be looking for something.
Cheng Yu shouted loudly: "Brother Guo, what are you doing?"
Guo Ping'an seemed to have just discovered Cheng Yu. He raised his head and looked at him with a smile on his face and said: "Nothing, just a routine search to solve a small area every day. There is a high probability that it will be in vain, but if something is found,
Discovering it might solve everyone's dilemma, and no more people would have to die."
Cheng Yu smiled and did not go in the direction of Guo Pingan. He just walked out of the manor and stood on the gravel path. The three-piece suit that his character in this virtual space wore was really not convenient for walking in the bushes.
"I don't know if anyone had an accident last night." Cheng Yu seemed to say casually, but his intention was obviously to test Guo Ping'an.
Guo Pingan responded directly without any hesitation or slowness: "I had breakfast on time. It was a little strange at the time. Mr. Cheng, you showed up at almost nine o'clock in the past few days, but I didn't see you this morning."
.When I finished eating, no one else
I haven't seen them, and I'm too lazy to wait. I can't go upstairs and go from room to room to check everyone's condition. So although I'm actually very worried and want to know the answer earlier, of course, I mainly hope that nothing happened last night, but
I can only do what I should do."
Cheng Yu nodded and said: "If everyone can think like Brother Guo, then the eight of us should still be able to happily chat and drink at dinner every day. Alas, it's a pity that some people are not like this.
think."
"So I don't want to take care of myself now. I can't take care of others, so I just take care of myself."
Cheng Yu smiled and gave Guo Ping'an a thumbs up, saying that he hoped it would be as you said.
"Then I won't disturb Brother Guo. You can search slowly while I continue walking."
"Well, see you at lunch later."
Cheng Yu waved to Guo Pingan and continued to walk forward. He soon stood on the pier and looked around. On the vast and calm sea, there were still only the occasional seabird flying over and making a strange cry. As for the ships, they had never been seen before.
Can't even see it.
In fact, this is a really bizarre setting. There is no doubt that it is still within the scope of the continental shelf, but no ship can be seen for a long time. This is not Bermuda, so why are there no ships passing by? In order to emphasize the idea of ​​an isolated island.
Settings, that system is really enough.
After watching it for a while, it was like watching the sea on TV, which was boring. Cheng Yu walked back to the beach and walked slowly along the edge of the island.
At early eleven o'clock, Cheng Yu estimated that it would take him almost an hour and a half to circle the island and get back here, and then walk back to the villa, almost in time for dinner.
So, Cheng Yu wandered around the island alone.
The last time, Cheng Yu was walking with Liu Manman. The two of them kept talking, so they didn't pay much attention to the situation on the sea.
But now walking alone like this, Cheng Yu found that this virtual space was really a bit rough. Everything on the island was done to perfection. Almost every detail was taken care of, and the dock was also done.
It's perfect. After all, that's the way Cheng Yu came here on the yacht. Although the sea surface remains unchanged, the changes in details are still complete.
But that's not the case in other directions. If you don't care about the beaches and rocks on the island under your feet, and just stare at the sea, you will soon find that these sea surfaces and sea horizons are simply
It's like copying and pasting just one piece.
Even the rolling of the waves is exactly the same.
If the position of the pier is regarded as a zero-degree angle, then almost every two degrees or so, the sea surface within its fan will begin to repeat.
In other words, after Cheng Yu walks a distance of about forty meters along the edge of the island, the sea surface and distant sea level in front of him are the same as before forty meters, and the arc distance of more than forty meters continues.
Every detail is the same as before.
It doesn't matter if you repeat it once or twice, but it will become extremely obvious after you walk it ten times.
Cheng Yu didn't pay much attention at first. He just wanted to go around the island to see if he could see any ships or the like from the sea. However, as he walked, he realized that something was wrong. The waves crashed onto the beach in the same pattern.
, the pattern of rolling waves is also the same, the slight white line formed by the waves in the distance is still exactly the same, and even the seabirds that swoop toward the sea are exactly the same.
This strange repetition made Cheng Yu finally realize that this virtual space is probably limited to this island and the sea route from the dock on land to here. The other parts are pure backdrops that cannot withstand scrutiny at all.
.
Therefore, since no ship has appeared on the sea surface that has been repeated more than ten times, it means that it is impossible to see any changes in the rest of the journey.
This was quickly confirmed.
Walking all the way to the location where the "morgue" was arranged in Old London, that is, directly behind the manor, Cheng Yu saw only more than forty identical sea surfaces repeated over and over again.
Even so, with the attitude of seeking verification one by one, Cheng Yu did not go back from the path behind the manor. Instead, he continued walking along the edge of the island and continued to observe the repeated sea surface. After returning to the dock, he completely confirmed
, outside Qindao, there are more than forty repeated scenes copied and pasted. Only a small sea road extending from the pier is slightly different from other parts of the sea.
Therefore, even if there is a way out of Qindao, it can only appear at the dock, which is the direction from which Cheng Yu came.
Or, go up to the sky, go down to the earth, in short, if the road to the island does not extend in the direction of the pier, it can only leave the overall large plane of the ground and the sea.
Chapter completed!
