Wis Lanka International Airport
He Ao followed the directions in Chinese on the road signs and walked all the way out of the airport.
After walking not far, he saw a cool black convertible sports car parked in the distance.
A middle-aged man wearing a neat jacket and holding a cigarette in his mouth was standing on the roadside.
He leaned against the door of the sports car, raised his wrist, exposed the pure gold mechanical watch and glanced at the time, as if he was waiting for someone.
His face is as sharp as a knife, his eyebrows are sharp and his eyes are starry, and his actions naturally reveal a sorrow that has been experienced in the world.
Pedestrians passing by cast special glances at her.
A beautiful girl ran over and stood in front of him, "Hello..."
"Feel sorry."
The man shook his head.
He cast his gaze behind the girl, and a young man with a delicate face and a somewhat immature appearance slowly walked over.
When the girl saw his expression, she knew he had failed and turned around to leave in embarrassment.
"Yang Bu..." He Ao smiled and shrugged, "You... are a bit popular."
Yang De looked at him and was a little dazed. He looked He Ao up and down and asked hesitantly, "Mercenary?"
"Well," He Ao nodded, took out his mobile phone and opened the institute's software, revealing his main interface and waved lightly, "Just call me He Ao."
"Why did you kid take your opened vegetable paper bag?"
Yang De smiled and opened the car door, "Get in the car."
"After all, it's your first time on a mission. Isn't it rude to bring a paper bag?"
He Ao smiled and got into the car from the other side.
He revealed his identity for two reasons.
First, because his information is actually recorded in the institute, and the people he is now in contact with are all senior officials of the institute, and there is a high probability that there are people inside who can see his information.
Yang De applied for him to be the deputy minister of the overseas department. The institute would definitely not let a person of unknown origin hold such an important position, so his information has most likely been checked by higher-level decision-makers.
Things like confidentiality are always relative.
Therefore, it does not make much sense for him to conceal his identity now, and it will also appear timid and not magnanimous.
Instead of waiting for others to reveal this identity at some point in the future, it is better to take the initiative to reveal it yourself, control the rhythm in your own hands, and win the favor of the 'new colleagues'. His current strength also has a certain ability to resist risks.
Second, after this time, 'Hao Yi' will inevitably be exposed to everyone. As a new C-class who 'emerged' at the same time, and his identity is hidden, it is inevitable that he will not be contacted by interested people.
By showing the identity of this person, he can create a clear scene of two people being in the same scene at the same time, which will dispel a lot of irrelevant guesses.
Although the ability to control puppets does exist, few people know about this ability now, and there is no relevant information within the institute.
There is a lot of room for maneuver here.
The more obvious his identity is on the surface, the darker the puppet's hidden identity becomes.
Of course, after you reveal your identity, it will be much easier to act with this identity in the future.
But there was another thing that he didn't expect. Yang De, who was serious on the cruise ship, dressed so showily in his daily clothes...
After dressing up like this, He Ao felt that Yang De looked much more handsome than before.
As expected, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.
"You have also read that information. The next location where the Velora will appear is in the uninhabited mountainous area on the edge of Wislanka. Let's go back to the hotel first and take a helicopter there later."
While driving, Yang De held a cigarette in his mouth and glanced at He Ao, "Although I expected you to be young, I didn't expect you to be so young. If you go out like this, others will think that I hire child labor, hahaha."
He seemed very happy, "Let's go back later and get to know your other two colleagues in the overseas department."
Before He Ao joined, there were two deputy ministers in the overseas department, one was the 'Ascetic Monk' Wu Lan, and the other was the 'Flower' Ji Po, both of whom were C-level.
The overseas department plus He Ao have a total of 4 C-levels, which is the department with the most C-levels in the entire institute.
The two quickly returned to the hotel. Yang De booked a presidential private room on the top floor. As soon as he opened the door, a red-haired figure rushed over.
"Wow, this little brother is our new deputy minister, isn't he? Come let me give you a hug."
The woman stretched out her hand and was about to push He Ao's head into her arms. He Ao stepped back half a step, allowing the woman to fall away.
He is not used to socializing, especially this kind of very familiar socializing.
Living alone for a long time has made him resistant to sudden enthusiasm, because usually those who show such strong enthusiasm for him may be human traffickers when they were children, and may be liars or salesmen when they grow up.
Just as He Ao dodged, a huge fist came from the direction he was dodging. He stretched out his hand to push the fist away, then took half a step forward, bent his legs slightly, and leaned in front of the fist owner.
, with a slight bump, the owner of the fist flew out.
All this happened very quickly, in the blink of an eye.
The red-haired woman staggered and almost rolled out in the corridor. Yang De reached out to catch her, while the man who punched hit the wall and fell to the ground.
"good!"
The man held out a thumbs up and stood up slowly.
"Lao Yang, you found a treasure."
The red-haired woman also walked back with a smile, walked to He Ao's side, stretched out her hand, "Wu Lan."
"Hoo."
He Ao shook hands with her.
The two of them started very lightly. They were actually testing He Ao's skills, so He Ao's counterattacks against them were not heavy. Even if they hit them, they would not be hurt.
"Jipo."
The man who flew out also came over.
At this time, He Ao suddenly discovered that Wu Lan squeezed his hand and didn't let go for a while.
With a slight flick of his fingers, he broke away from Wu Lan's hand as silently as a snake, and then shook Ji Po's hand very naturally.
"Go in, go in."
Yang pulled the door shut.
"I'm disgusted by my handsome little brother."
Wu Lan waved her hands and walked into the living room.
Ji Po stood next to He Ao and said with a smile, "She has this kind of character. She is not a bad person. Women over thirty sit on the ground and absorb dirt. This is how it is. Just get used to it."
He Ao nodded to express understanding.
Wu Lan, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around with a cold expression, "Muscular man, who are you calling thirty?"
Wu Lan takes good care of herself, her skin is smooth and fair, and her appearance is delicate and beautiful. She is considered a first-class beauty who can be the heroine in a movie.
Although her temperament is a bit mature, her mature and charming temperament is even more attractive.
Faced with Wu Lan's questioning, Ji Po shrank his head and prepared to pretend that nothing happened.
At this time, Wu Lan set her sights on He Ao and showed a charming smile, "Brother He Ao, how old do you think I look?"
He Ao said expressionlessly, "Eighteen."
Yang De, who was walking in front, looked back at He Ao in surprise.
This kid is a bit wilted and bad.
"Ji Po, look at my brother He Ao who is so young and can speak better than you..."
Wu Lan rolled up her sleeves angrily.
Ji Po saw that the situation was not right and ran away decisively.
Wu Lan followed closely.
He Ao watched them quarreling quietly.
These new colleagues... seem to be pretty good?
······
The two didn't fight for long before Yang De took them in a helicopter to a mountain in the suburbs.
Wislanka is very close to China and within the institute's sphere of influence. This mission involves a relatively high level. In order to avoid casualties, Yang De did not arrange for ordinary staff to come.
"This is the ring of deception," Yang De took out a bracelet, "Standing within a 20-meter radius of this bracelet, the auras of C-level and below will be masked as ordinary people. C-level can cover half of it, which is enough for us.
"
"This is called the Void Tent." Then he took out four more tent pegs and distributed them to everyone.
"Pinning it in place will create a tent-shaped enclosure between the four pegs, which should restrain the Velora.
"But the stronger the internal energy, the more energy and energy it takes to drive a nail, so it may be dangerous at that time. Be careful. We just need to hold on until the director rushes over."
Director seems to be a B-level position in the institute.
Heao took over the tent pegs of the void tent,
There are so many good things in the institute.
Yang De arranged seats for them respectively, and then each of them was given a miniature intercom headset.
He Ao was in a patch of grass, and he also got a telescope.
The location where they ambush is far away from where the Velora might exit the tunnel, and it will take some time to get there.
But the terrain here is most suitable for an ambush.
"The car is coming."
Yang De's voice came from the headphones.
He Ao picked up the telescope and looked into the distance. This was the first time he saw the Velora coming out of the 'tunnel'.
The front of the car slowly came out of the void, followed by the body of the car, as if it really came out of a 'tunnel'.
——
Inside the Velora.
He Ao reached out and opened the compartment door.
The sunshine outside the car window is very bright, and the mountains are reflected in the scorching sun, making them look beautiful.
I have to say, this car is very good at picking places.
This time when he opened the cubicle door, He Ao didn't see the little head popping up next to him. The cubicle door of No. 6 slowly opened. Luo Luo walked out of the cubicle, hesitantly sticking his head out and looking at the cubicle next to him.
.
The door to cubicle No. 4 was open, but no one came out.
He Ao walked over and slowly opened the door.
Lin Chichi was lying on the small bed, holding a drawing board with no writing on it in her arms.
Her eyes were closed tightly, and there were no wounds on her body, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.
"you···"
Luo Luo stood beside He Ao, looking at Lin Chichi blankly, unable to say a word for a while.
Jin Ya also came over at this moment. She looked at Lin Chi Chi and fell into silence for a short time.
Lin Chichi's body slowly sank into the floor.
Now, there are only three passengers left here.
"Chichi she..."
Luo Luo looked at He Ao, hesitated, and opened his mouth slightly.
"Call the flight attendant to come over, the game is over."
He Ao said slowly.
"ah?"
Luo Luo was stunned, but she finally obeyed He Ao's command and called the flight attendant.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
The flight attendant came over with a smile on his face.
"Please open the door to compartment seven."
Luo Luo glanced at He Ao and said softly.
The flight attendant slowly walked over and opened the door of compartment seven, revealing the dark vortex in front of everyone.
Luo Luo looked at He Ao.
This time, they had to throw themselves out.
There are three passengers left. If the murderer is among the passengers, if we don't find a way to find the murderer this time, there will only be two people left next time. Two people will not be able to vote.
Then when the next tunnel is reached and the murderer kills the last person, he wins.
Of course, if you vote incorrectly this time, the game is over.
"So, are you going to vote?"
Jin Ya glanced at He Ao and asked in a low voice.
"Um."
He Ao nodded slightly.
The flight attendant stepped aside, seemingly waiting for the three people to vote.
"Where should we start?"
He Ao glanced at Luo Luo and Jin Ya, and spoke slowly in two languages, "Let's start with the hidden game rules of this car."
"This car tells us that 'there is a murderer' mixed among us. This sentence implies to us that there is only one 'murderer'. This is a 'hunting' game. We only need to find the murderer mixed among us.
Just be crazy."
Having said this, He Ao smiled and said,
"But this game is actually not a 'hunting' game, but a camp confrontation game. At the beginning, all the 'good guys' fell into a logical trap, that is, 'there is only one enemy.' Except for that one enemy,
All other good people are good people.
However, this game does not tell us whether the murderer will have an ‘accomplice’.”
Hearing this, Luo Luo was stunned. She looked at He Ao blankly, "Is this car lying to us?"
"This is the killing game it prepared. It is much easier for a group of bad people to kill people than for a group of good people to break through their psychological defenses."
He Ao shrugged, "The car's selection of 'good guys' and 'bad guys' may not be randomly assigned. It may actually pick some real 'bad guys' and then give them the identities of the bad guys."
Then he continued, "I have never been able to understand Ruoti's behavior before, why he had to target me, why he hinted that he knew who the 'murderer' was, and why he left the cubicle so confidently and walked to the restaurant, until I thought
Passed this level."
Luo Luo: "You mean, Ruoti is an accomplice? He has been helping the murderer cover up before? But why did the murderer..."
"Why did the murderer kill him?" He Ao smiled and took over her words, "I think the murderer may have killed the wrong person."
"ah?"
Luo Luo was stunned.
He Ao did not go further on this topic, but continued,
"After thinking about this, many problems have been solved. Naturally, the props allocated for the confrontation between two different camps are not similar.
"The 'good guys' camp allocates more props such as protection and guesswork, because the victory condition for the 'good guys' is to find the murderer.
"The murderer's camp prefers to act when the train passes through the tunnel to cooperate with the murderer. So why did passenger No. 5 die in the corridor? He was not dragged out, but 'walked' out on his own
of."
Jin Ya seemed to be immersed in He Ao's analysis at this time, and said softly, "But knowing this, it seems that we can't find out who is the murderer."
"Yes,"
He Ao nodded, "Knowing this, I can't deduce the specific identity of the murderer, but it has changed my thinking about this game. Not everyone in the murderer camp can leave the compartment.
"For example, Ruoti, before the time of his death, we never heard him walking out of the cubicle. Therefore, I am more inclined to believe that he did not lie. His ability is to guess who is to a certain extent."
Murderer'."
Luo Luo: "But if he is an accomplice, why doesn't he know who the murderer is?"
"This is the interesting part of this game," He Ao smiled,
"It is fair in a sense. If the murderer and his accomplices know each other, it will cause a one-sided massacre. The good guys will soon be killed by their joint efforts or voting. This game cannot seduce the 'good guys'."
Join this crazy killing game.
"So the accomplice knows the existence of the murderer, and the murderer may also know the existence of the accomplice to a certain extent, but they don't know who each other is. Of course, this will lead to interesting results like now, where the murderer kills the 'accomplice'.
"
"ah?!!!"
Luo Luo felt that he was stunned for a while.
Jin Ya also opened her mouth slightly.
"Now let's get back to the topic," He Ao looked at Luo Luo, "If Ruoti didn't have the ability to walk in the corridor, but he left the compartment when he died, it means that he had acquired some kind of ability to walk in the corridor.
A walking prop.
This illustrates two points. First, the prop can be transferred to others, and second, this prop comes from a person who can move in the corridor."
Luo Luo: "The first passenger No. 5 to be killed?"
"It's possible, but more likely, it's another deceased person who hasn't been found by us."
He Ao looked at Luo Luo, "When we passed through the tunnel for the second time, it was not that there were no dead people."
Luo Luo looked around suspiciously.
All alive and all dead have been seen.
"Actually, one person died, but we didn't find out,"
He Ao paused and said slowly,
"chef"
Just shy of 5,000 words.
Hmm, I didn’t expect that I wrote too much earlier, and then I was delayed for a while, and the puzzle was not finished yet. Lin will have arrangements sooner or later, and people will not be killed randomly. I have laid the groundwork before.
I'll see if I can write the next chapter as soon as possible tomorrow.
