When she saw Qianye lowering his head and walking forward alone without any intention of waiting for her, she couldn't help but feel a little angry...
"You can say we know each other anyway. How about just asking a question to show off your face?"
Of course, Perrin didn't worry about it for long.
She paused for a few seconds and then continued to pace...
...
Chino returned to the hotel room.
He found a piece of white paper and spread it on the table. The ballpoint pen kept spinning in his hand, and from time to time he wrote what was on his mind on the paper.
"The envelope has room, Robert, don't touch it..."
After the encounter just now.
Although Yujian didn't reveal too much information to Qianye, he only mentioned one thing in his words - Qianye was being targeted.
Very dangerous...
Where did this danger come from? Qianye didn't know.
He doesn't know whether there really is a room, and whether the other party is lying to him...
So far.
Based on the appearance of Robert and Youma.
Qianye could already determine that the two men were on opposite sides.
Robert gave him a bottle of strange green pills, saying that it could cure his disease, but Yuma told him to throw away the pills. The so-called disease was not that scary at all...
In completely opposite situations.
Qianye has to choose one to believe.
No matter what, it is true that the strange things happening in his body are real. He can feel pain in his head and can also see the so-called hallucinations.
So the choice of this bottle of green pills is really important to him...
"Both Youjian and Robert are watching me. They know every move I make."
Qianye frowned slightly.
This form is very bad for him.
When almost completely passive, there is very little he can do...
Even if you can go to some novel place tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow and get information about the invitation party or yourself, all your actions along the way and the final results will be transmitted to the ears of the two of them...
Youjian and Robert are not fools.
If they know Qianye's itinerary and whereabouts, they can infer Qianye's general thoughts, and thus better make him trust them in terms of language.
This is extremely detrimental to Qianye...
"When I was unconscious, I once found a room..."
"That means there must be some connection between Youjian and me at that time. After all, it was me who took the initiative to find her, not her who came to me."
"Why would I take the initiative to look for her in that situation? The main reason is that I found her..."
"Is there any reason for this?"
The curtains were blown slightly by the window, and from time to time a corner of the window was exposed, which made Qianye feel a little uneasy.
He looked through the gap...
Subconsciously, I always feel as if something is staring at me.
It's a pity that when I observe carefully, that feeling suddenly disappears...
Qianye thought that maybe this was how Yujian and Robert monitored him.
Feeling uncomfortable, he stretched out his hand and unceremoniously pulled and closed the curtains, and also attached two clips to prevent the curtains from falling off accidentally.
"Today is the fourth day. Although there were deaths at the invitational party, it is still calm so far."
"There are still twenty-six days until the end. I don't know if I can find the person who is targeting me within this period of time..."
Qianye was very irritable.
He picked up the paper on which he had just recorded the information and crumpled it into a ball. Without looking back, he threw it into the trash can behind him. With a crisp sound, the paper ball successfully rolled into the trash can.
Tapping her temples with her fingers, Qianye leaned back on the wooden chair, tilted her neck back a little, looked at the ceiling and fell into deep thought...
"Apart from Youjian and Robert... what is the relationship between Perrin, the paper-burning woman, Brown, and Henry?"
"What role does the Black Friday song on the poster play in it?"
"Is it possible that it is just a background story for this invitational party, and a random stunt actually counts as nothing?"
The stories are too confusing.
Chino simply couldn't connect it all.
Let’s start with the tavern security at the beginning.
Because of his identity as a security guard, he met Perrin and Angry...
Angry was a drunken man. While vomiting, he pulled Qianye to tell his story, saying that he was a useless man because he always wanted to live a stable life, but in the end, he could never climb up after life gave him a hammer.
stand up.
He was framed for a murder and went to prison, and then his life was completely shattered and he became what he is now...
He also told Qianye that he must work hard for life and not think about lying down and ending up in his situation...
When Chino heard this story.
His attention was only focused on the murder case.
Because at that time, he had just picked up the burned piece of information paper from the toilet, and thought that the story of the town should be caused by a murder, and then the victim turned into a ghost and put a curse on this place...
The same goes for the acquaintance with Perrin.
Because of the appearance of burned notes.
Qianye used Xie Aishan's ability to search for smells and found Peilan who was still living in the villa.
After a while of communication.
There were three pieces of news he received.
The first one is that there is a grave of his father in Perrin's house, which is buried in the basement.
The second one contains the body of a shop owner who committed suicide in front of Perrin's house because he failed to confess his love to Perrin.
The third one is that the woman who burned the paper was actually a dead person, and the body was buried in Brown's grave, and the grave had no signs of being disturbed before...
The problem of Perrin and Angry.
They all come from the same clue.
That is the story of the woman who burned paper and the murder that year...
But once I got to the store owner, the story took a big turn.
After learning the cause of death of the store owner.
As soon as Qianye returned to the tavern, he found Li Jinwei died tragically in front of the tavern...
So I became curious about the beret man.
I want to find out whether Li Jinwei's death has anything to do with that man.
As a result, just when Chino was ready to go find the beret man the next day, Yuma showed up in the middle of the night...
Not to mention whether Yujian is true or false, she did tell Qianye a lot of information, such as the actual game rules of the invitational party and the true death of Li Jinwei, making him more vigilant about the people around him.
Then, after Yuma left, when Chino went to find the beret man despite his curiosity, the man died just like that...
Not even a word was said between them.
There wasn't even eye contact.
The only contact we had was just a "passing by" in front of a pub in the middle of the night.
"The reason for his death was that he was chopped with a kitchen knife by that person. It's logical, and it doesn't seem to be a problem..."
Chino narrowed his eyes.
Thinking back on the past few days from beginning to end.
"But his death is still strange because the envelope on him disappeared and I couldn't get any useful information from him at all."
"In other words, my information chain at that time was broken from here..."
Qianye recalled that after she killed the man with the chopper.
When he returned to the tavern, he saw this guy Shouzhenxin.
Shouzhenxin provided him with a newspaper, which vaguely talked about things about the town...
Newspapers don't seem to be of much use.
Even though Qianye learned that something strange had happened in the town a few months ago, he didn't think anything was wrong.
After all, this is a horror world.
The occurrence of a series of strange events is within the normal and understandable category, and there is no need to look at it from the perspective of the real world...
"But sadly, the contents of the newspaper made me even more certain. The disappearance of the Beret Man's envelope was a very strange point, which made me even more convinced that there was another person present at that time, thus presuming that the Beret Man's envelope was taken away.
!”
Qianye raised his head, he seemed to have thought of something.
My mind, which was full of thoughts, suddenly became enlightened...
"And just when I returned to the tavern and wanted to dig deeper into the problem of the man's envelope, another special thing happened."
Memories are brought back.
Qianye clearly remembered that while she was thinking about the situation of the beret man, she read the mission content in her envelope because twelve o'clock arrived at night.
The updated content roughly says that he has gone dark.
He also made some complaints...
But it was because of this envelope mission.
Let his target shift again!
"Blackening, killing, bookstore..."
If things that were originally unrelated appear in the envelope task on the same day, it means there must be a connection between them.
After waking up, Qianye found that he had killed someone.
He also deeply experienced the power of the illusion and understood that his body was beginning to have problems.
In order to complete the last task.
He chose to leave the tavern and get a room in a nearby hotel, and then went to the bookstore in the north of the town alone...
No, it can't be said to be a person.
Because Peilan secretly followed him, the two of them entered the bookstore one behind the other.
And during this period, we encountered an attack by "sea monkeys".
When he had no choice but to agree to the proposal of the person in his mind and risk his life, Robert accidentally saved the two of them.
Talking about getting to know Robert.
And that's just because of a meaningless performance...
Qianye was not at work at that time, but because he suddenly appeared and told him that someone was playing outside and asked him to evict him, he met Robert for the first time.
And Robert, who only had a one-time relationship with Qianye at that time, after saving Qianye and Peilan from the "Sea Monkeys", he went on to promote the pills produced by his uncle to Qianye, saying that they could cure Qianye's illness.
He fully played the role of a good old guy...
The reason given was also very simple, saying that he just didn’t want to see anyone experiencing the same pain as himself.
The reason is reluctant.
But Qianye was still able to force himself to accept it.
But later on, without even asking for the names of Qianye and Peilan, Robert suddenly revealed their names.
That undoubtedly means that he has paid attention to Qianye before...
"Suppose that my acquaintance with Robert was actually arranged. She asked me to go out and expel the performers. This was the effect she wanted."
"Then everything seems to make sense..."
Chino rearranged the second half of the story in his mind.
At that time, the first thing she did after showing up was to ask him to expel Robert's performance. Even though Qianye was not at work, she still asked Qianye to do so.
Considering that Youjian doesn't like to get involved in other people's business, this kind of thing seems a bit strange...
then.
Later, when Robert gave Qianye pills, the other party told Qianye a story that seemed to be true, saying how terrible the illness in Qianye's body was, and that without the green pill, he might die from it.
The success forced Qianye to put away the medicine bottle first.
Even if Qianye is currently wary and unwilling to touch the pill, accepting it and rejecting it are two completely different things...
"When you start telling a made-up story, the way to add authenticity to the story is to keep filling in details to make it fuller."
Chino makes his living by writing novels.
Naturally, we know this rule.
Robert seemed to be immersed in his story, telling a long paragraph of nonsense, making it seem extremely real.
But in fact, for people who have organized their language a little and have a little better acting skills, as long as they fill in enough details in the fabricated story, the same effect will be achieved...
I remembered that Robert called me by my real name.
Qianye is more inclined to believe that the stories Robert told before were all lies to him.
Just to make myself believe his story more.
Make yourself more unclear about the disease.
Then, when you can't refuse directly, you have to choose to accept the pill bottle temporarily even if you have doubts!
In addition, there is a room when you arrive at the bookstore.
There was something wrong with Robert's eyes for a moment, and we could easily draw the inference that the two people probably knew each other...
"However, if this hypothesis is true, and Robert and I knew each other for a while, then why did you ask me to throw away the pill bottle later?"
Qianye's thoughts were racing rapidly.
He suddenly grasped the most critical and most useful breakthrough point...
"lie".
Yes, the worry he had later was actually given to him intentionally by You Jian.
From the beginning to the end, there is only one piece of information that can infer that Yujian and Robert are on opposite sides!
That's what Yuma said.
Tell him to throw away the pill bottle...
If Youjian was really worried about his health, and really thought that this medicine bottle would bring harm to Qianye, he would be completely opposite to Robert.
Then Qianye wouldn't answer with the excuse that the bottle is very beautiful, and I want to keep it as a collection and let it go easily.
With her character.
He would probably grab the medicine bottle directly and not give Qianye any chance to take it with him...
"Youjian and Robert are actually in the same group."
"What they are doing is just confusing the public."
"I disappeared inexplicably and appeared again inexplicably. Both times it was because of Robert..."
Thinking again of the dead beret man.
And the envelope that was lost for unknown reasons.
Qianye had to think of a question: "Could the person who took the envelope away at that time be either Yuma or Robert?"
This question becomes even more solid after Yuma told Chino more than once that he should not go into the ordinary background story.
Now, the event line has basically been determined.
One is the so-called murder case about Brown, the other is the game rules of the invitational party, and the other is the cause of Qianye's physical illness.
They are related...
The time nodes that appear can prove everything very well.
"But, under the double surveillance of Youjian and Robert, how can I find what they are hiding?"
Danger is approaching.
Qianye always has an ominous premonition.
He always felt that if he really listened to Youjian and did nothing, then he might be in big trouble...
