The second hand in the clock slowly returns to its original starting point.
Click——
He Ao turned the doorknob and opened the door.
Warm and comfortable lights illuminate the calm corridor, and outside the huge viewing window, there is a bright and shining coastline.
The car seemed to be approaching a large seaside city.
He Ao looked to the left. The first thing that caught his eye was Lin Chichi who stuck her head out from the cubicle No. 4 next to her. This girl opened the door very quickly every time, and then Luo Luo from the cubicle No. 6.
The passenger in compartment 5 is dead.
He Ao turned his head to the right. Jin Ya, who slowly walked out of the cubicle, stared at him blankly, then blinked. Behind Jin Ya, Ruoti from cubicle No. 1 also walked out.
All five people are alive and no one died.
This result stunned He Ao for a moment.
The ‘murderous maniac’ didn’t kill anyone when he passed through the tunnel this time?
This murderous maniac did not come to see Ho or the other passengers yesterday.
It was the first time that He Ao met such an opponent. This murderer seemed to be illogical and just killed according to his mood.
The longer the time drags on, the more disadvantageous it is for the murderer. This is equivalent to giving other people more time to think. Therefore, the optimal solution for the murderer is to kill people every night. Reduction can threaten him.
the number of people.
And from the perspective of game design, since this car wants passengers to kill each other, the murderer must have a killing target, and it is impossible not to kill if he doesn't want to.
Wasn't it the passenger who died?
He Ao looked up and looked behind compartment No. 1. If he remembered correctly, the flight attendant came from that side every time.
He walked over quickly.
People around me were a little confused.
"What do you want to do?"
Ruoti watched He Ao walking towards him and subconsciously took half a step back.
He Ao ignored him and walked directly past him,
His footsteps quickly crossed the No. 1 compartment.
The moment he crossed the wall at the end of the cubicle, a man in neat uniform with a gentle smile blocked his way.
"Hello, distinguished guest, what can I do for you?"
"Nothing to do, I just want to walk around."
What stood in front of He Ao was a uniformed flight attendant. He Ao's eyes passed over the flight attendant's shoulders and looked behind the flight attendant.
At the end of the corridor, blocked by compartment No. 1, there is a small compartment similar to a security booth that is smaller than the other compartments. The door of this compartment is closed and it seems to be the residence of the flight attendant.
Next to this small compartment, there is a small staircase. Under the stairs is a small door, which is the front door of this carriage.
Ho Ao had carefully looked at the exterior structure of the Venola before getting on the train. Except for the dining car at the end, each car had two doors, front and rear.
He Ao and Lin Chi Chi both got into the car through the back door.
After crossing the front door of the carriage and looking inside, you will reach the connection between this carriage and the next carriage.
There are two closed double doors at this junction. There are windows on the small doors, but the windows are covered with a layer of hazy fog, and the scene behind the windows cannot be seen.
"Because other carriages are undergoing maintenance, the connecting channel is currently closed."
The flight attendant seemed to notice that He Ao was looking behind him. He turned slightly sideways and stepped out of the way, "If you have any questions, you can ask me."
"Thanks."
He Ao was not polite. He walked directly to the connecting door and held the door handle.
The two doors were sliding doors. He Ao pulled them to both sides with a little force. The two doors trembled but did not open.
The structural strength of these two doors is the same as the exterior structure of the car.
He Ao let go of his hand and glanced at the small front door stairway. He suddenly found a small storage shelf built into the partition wall on the side of the front door stairway.
This shelf was exactly the same as the one he saw in his cubicle, except that it was empty, with nothing on it.
He withdrew his gaze, passed in front of the flight attendant, and returned to the corridor.
"Brother Hao Yi, what happened?"
Lin Chichi looked at him doubtfully.
"It's okay," He Ao shook his head and glanced at the people in the corridor. Ruoti, Jinya, Lin Chichi, and Luo Luo were all there. "You guys wait for me here, I'll go to the dining car to have a look."
After that, he walked straight to the dining car.
"This guy must be hiding something from us."
Ruoti looked at He Ao's back, said something in Chinese, and then quickly followed He Ao.
He Ao ignored him and just glanced at him from the corner of his eye.
The two of them walked all the way through the connection and arrived at the dining car.
He Ao glanced at the small door of the kitchen, which was still closed.
He quickly walked around to the side of the dining table, Ruoti following behind him.
He Ao put his hand on the bar and said to the food pick-up port, "Here's a small steamed bun."
"Waiting"
A hoarse voice came from behind the meal opening.
After a while, a hand wearing white gloves slapped a basket of xiaolongbao on the dining table.
Is the chef okay?
He Ao frowned, picked up the hot steamed dumplings and walked back.
Ruoti looked at the Xiao Long Bao in He Ao's hand and swallowed. He had stayed in China and liked the food there.
When He Ao walked away, he looked around and walked to the dining table and said, "One basket, no, two baskets of xiaolongbao."
"Waiting"
A hoarse voice sounded slowly.
Soon, two new baskets of steamed dumplings were photographed on the dining table.
If Ti is really hungry, he picks up the steamed dumplings and starts eating.
At this time, He Ao also walked back to the compartment car thoughtfully.
"Brother Hao Yi, are you hungry?"
Lin Chichi looked at the xiaolongbao in He Ao's hand, shrugged the tip of his nose, and asked softly.
"Um."
He Ao raised his head and glanced at everyone, "Let's go to the dining car first."
By the time a group of four people returned to the dining car, Ruoti had already devoured two baskets of steamed buns. When he saw people coming over, he put the steamer basket behind him to hide it from everyone.
Luo Luo looked up at him and said casually, "I didn't wipe my mouth clean."
"You guys all ate, but I didn't. It makes me look out of place."
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Ruoti simply stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth and said directly.
He Ao looked at Ruoti who was wiping his mouth while blocking the steamer. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong for a while.
Everyone gathered in a circle again.
Although Ruoti has been trying to seize He Ao's power, when He Ao organized everyone to think together, he still chose to obey He Ao's order.
In this kind of game where you can vote to kill, being alone means that you are likely to be excluded and killed by the group.
"No one died this time. Did you gain anything when you just passed through the tunnel? I didn't hear anything."
He Ao said this passage in two languages.
After saying that, he motioned to start with Lin Chichi.
Lin Chi looked around and said, "I didn't hear anything or feel any movement."
Luo Luo was next. She shook her head, "I didn't hear any movement, but I think it was unreasonable for the murderer not to kill anyone this time, so we must have missed some information."
Next was Jin Ya, and He Ao translated the speeches of the previous two people for her.
Jin Ya paused for a while, seeming to be processing the information, and then said slowly, "When there was about an hour left in the countdown, I heard what seemed to be slight footsteps in front of the door,"
She glanced at He Ao, then at Luo Luo and Lin Chichi, and thought for a moment, "I heard footsteps, but they didn't hear them. The last time I heard footsteps, it ended with that sister,"
She pointed at Lin Chi Chi, "Then the person in the cubicle next to my sister died, so this time the murderer may have wanted to kill you, but gave up for some reason."
He Ao translated Jin Ya's analysis to others.
"So, what happened the last time the train passed through the tunnel that made the murderer change his mind?"
Luo Luo sat between Jin Ya and Lin Chi Chi, holding his little head with his hands and thinking seriously.
"Maybe there is another possibility. I also heard footsteps when there was about an hour left in the countdown,"
Ruoti smiled, sat up straight and looked at He Ao, who was sitting next to He Ao,
"The man in front of us is the murderer. He started from his own cubicle, passed Jinya's cubicle, and came to the door of my cubicle. He wanted to kill me, but gave up in the end, so Jinya and I heard the footsteps.
, this person himself is a murderer, so naturally he cannot hear his own footsteps."
"But Hao Yi heard the footsteps outside the door last time."
Luo Luo argued in a deep voice.
"Lying, who can't?"
Ruoti leaned back on the chair, "Last time we all knew that the deceased had a conflict with him, so he had to make up a reliable and reasonable lie. He himself is the murderer, so he naturally knows which compartments he passed and where he should have heard the footsteps.
sound, and you think about it,"
He smiled and looked at everyone,
"Last time, he walked all the way to my door, and then went back to kill the passengers in compartment 5. He passed his own compartment once, so he had an impression.
"This time he started directly from his cubicle and walked to the door of my cubicle, missing his place of departure. Isn't it normal?"
What he said was conclusive and full of confidence, as if He Ao was indeed the murderer.
He Ao rubbed his eyebrows. If some forced explanations were removed, there would still be some logic in mentioning this passage.
Mainly because he said it so confidently that He Ao almost believed that he was a murderer.
"According to your logic, it is obviously more likely that you are the murderer,"
Luo Luo frowned his cute little eyebrows, "Look, when I walked through the tunnel for the first time, the footsteps started from you and stopped at Chichi's place. The second time they started from you and stopped at Jinya's place.
.
"For the first time, Hao Yi himself had a conflict with the passengers in compartment No. 5. To kill No. 5, there was no need to walk around Jin Ya and your compartment. But if the murderer was you, he would start from your compartment.
, you must pass through Jinya’s compartment, isn’t this more reasonable?
"Look at it this way, according to this set of logic, it is more likely that the murderer is you than Hao Yi."
Luo Luo raised his eyebrows and looked at Ruoti with a cute and provocative look.
He Ao looked at Luo Luo's cute little face and narrowed his eyes slightly. This "sister" with a lolita body should have some basic investigative experience, and it is impossible to trust someone easily.
But what she is doing now is to protect He Ao.
"It's possible that he deliberately wanted to frame me..."
Halfway through speaking, Ruoti suddenly paused.
He has obviously realized that this is an endless cycle, and his accusations are just speculation without any evidence, and cannot explain everything.
For example, when passing through the tunnel for the first time, Luo Luo heard what sounded like the sound of the deceased falling to the ground, but it was actually an hour earlier than everyone else heard the footsteps.
"Well, are you enlightened?"
Luo Luo looked at Ruoti and blinked, "Your brain is actually better than I thought."
A bit venomous.
He Ao laughed dumbly.
Lin Chichi was confused the whole time and couldn't add to the topic. Jin Ya couldn't understand the whole thing and sat next to her blinking her eyes.
Ruoti took a deep breath and realized that Luo Luo stood firmly with He Ao. He chuckled and stood up slowly.
"No matter how you defend him, the facts cannot be changed. You all have props, right? Do you believe in the power of the props?"
He raised his head and glanced at He Ao, "I already know who killed the passenger in compartment No. 5. Facts speak louder than words. The more confident you are now, the more desperate you will be when you die."
After saying that, he stood up and left the restaurant and walked to the compartment car.
At this time, he happened to meet the flight attendant standing next to compartment No. 7, seemingly waiting for everyone to make a decision.
He glanced at the door of compartment seven that had been locked by the flight attendant, sneered, and returned to his compartment one.
Everyone staying in the restaurant was a little confused. Even Luo Luo was shocked by Ruoti's strong aura just now and was a little confused about the situation.
Although there is no logic in his words, he is really confident.
Confidence is contagious.
Of course, it is not without any support at all. Everyone has props, and it seems that the effect of the props is not the same, so it is possible to have some kind of props that can see the 'real murderer'.
Because the effect of the props and the identity cannot be revealed, no one can judge whether what Ruoti said is true or false.
But this time, it was equivalent to Ruoti using his own tools to identify He Ao.
Lin Chichi looked at He Ao and then at Luo Luo, feeling a little at a loss.
"I still choose to believe Hao Yi."
Luo Luo glanced at He Ao, stood up slowly, and walked back to the compartment.
"Brother Hao Yi, I believe in you, we will definitely find the truth."
Lin Chichi sat next to He Ao and waved his fist.
He Ao glanced at her confused face, pretending to be strong, and smiled, "A little scared?"
"without,"
Lin Chichi shook his head first, then glanced at He Ao hesitantly, hesitated, and finally nodded gently, "Brother is a very reassuring person. It would be great if I didn't meet him in this environment."
She and He Ao were just strangers at best, and she just chose to support He Ao. But if He Ao was really a murderer, then she was equivalent to sending herself to death.
Fear is a very normal thing.
"It's okay, everything will be fine."
He Ao smiled, and then said slowly, "If you don't know what to do, you can go back to the cubicle and take a rest."
"good."
Lin Chichi glanced at the bright coastline outside the window and nodded lightly.
She got up and walked towards the compartment car thoughtfully, but halfway through, she seemed to have figured out something, and suddenly ran back, took out a small wooden dolphin statue and handed it to He Ao, smiling and saying,
"I don't seem to have anything left behind. This is a travel souvenir I bought for my family. If I die, I have to ask my brother to help me take this back to Nandu."
"You won't tell me your address?"
He Ao smiled and put away the statue.
"I believe brother can find it."
Lin Chichi smiled, her steps seemed to be much lighter, and she trotted back to the compartment.
He Ao looked at Jin Ya. The discussion just now was all in Chinese, so Jin Ya didn't understand anything and her face was full of confusion.
If Ruoti can also speak Tiya language, this guy will not give up trying to win over Jin Ya.
He Ao thought for a while and gave Jin Ya a brief translation of what happened just now.
I'm a little stuck. I'll see if I can write more tomorrow to wrap up the story of the game. It's not a long story to begin with, but it actually took me so long to write it.
