Hearing that it was the hostess's request, Chen Mu and his friends naturally found it difficult to refuse.

After they left the room, the man in the suit was also in the corridor.

The maid gave each person a small bucket and a shovel, and asked them to start from the first floor and search room by room.

The search ends at the third floor?

No, it's not that simple!

After reaching the third floor, we have to start searching again. In short, we can't stop and keep working.

Chen Mu didn't know what the hostess was doing.

Will the players have extra work to do after notifying the maid?

Chen Mu didn't understand it, but no matter what, he had to do it since it was arranged.

Four players carried small buckets and sharp shovels and began searching the rooms one by one.

The hostess demands very high work efficiency, so it is definitely impossible for her to spend half a day searching one floor like the player did yesterday.

According to the hostess's request, all three floors must be searched in one hour!

A cycle until ten o'clock in the evening.

If you find barnacles, they need to be removed immediately.

While Chen Mu and his companions were carrying buckets and searching, they did not dare to move too fast, for fear that they would "overexercise" someday.

At dinner time, everyone rested for half an hour and had a chance to catch their breath.

The Wilderness Wanderer took the opportunity to say:

"Boss, I may not be able to go back to sleep tonight."

Chen Mu glanced at him and said lightly:

"For tomorrow's meal?"

"Ah."

"Okay, be safe."

Chen Mu rarely complained, but instead reminded him to be careful.

No matter what, the Wilderness Wanderer must have made an indispensable contribution to the fact that Chen Mu and his companions are still alive today.

After dinner, everyone continued to work.

Fortunately, the room was normal and no more barnacles appeared.

The hostess's work was not finished until ten o'clock in the evening.

When he handed the bucket and shovel back, Chen Mu felt his legs were almost numb.

He walked up and down the villa for seven or eight hours, and even Chen Mu felt a little exhausted.

After returning to the room, Chen Mu reviewed what happened today.

We also checked rooms 203 and 307 and learned that if barnacles appeared in a room, the entire room would be filled with sea water if left alone.

In the room filled with sea water, the male ghost seemed to be able to appear in an instant. The two rooms had collapsed and were transformed from rooms where living people lived into the male ghost's territory.

In this way, Chen Mu also found the logic behind the hostess's Rule One.

The hostess told the maid when the barnacles appeared because she was worried that the room in her villa would become the territory of a male ghost.

This is a major discovery, but... Chen Mu vaguely had a strange feeling.

The clues I have on hand are not only numerous and complicated, but also give me an indescribable sense of dislocation.

Chen Mu took out a piece of paper and a pen from the drawer of the table.

On one end of the paper, Chen Mu wrote "daughter's body", and on the other end, Chen Mu wrote the word "clue".

He used [clue] as the starting point and began to draw arrows outwards.

The direction of the arrow points to [daughter's body], which means this clue is useful for finding the body.

Every time he found a clue, Chen Mu would draw an arrow.

Soon, seven or eight arrows appeared on the paper, like something—

"Once barnacles appear in a room, the room will become the territory of a male ghost for a long time."

"Don't go near the sea at midnight."

"Eat food to avoid being seen by the male ghost."

……

When Chen Mu finished writing and looked at the contents on the paper again, the strange feeling in his mind was immediately materialized!

Chen Mu finally understood why he had such a strange feeling.

Because these arrows are pointing in all sorts of confusing and unrelated directions, this was something we had already realized.

The most terrifying thing is that there is not a single arrow pointing to [the daughter's body]!

This means that the clues Chen Mu currently has have no connection to the ultimate goal of the strange mission - finding his daughter's body!

Chen Mu felt a chill on his back, and he realized that he was very likely trapped in the most dangerous situation in the strange mission.

Players in previous lives used to call it——

Logical wall!

The so-called logical ghost wall is an extension of the concept of "ghost wall".

Ghost wall refers to the situation when people are walking at night or in the suburbs and occasionally get lost in the direction. It feels like there are roads all around, but no matter how hard they try, they can't get out and are trapped in it and can't leave.

Logical dilemma refers to the situation where players encounter many hints and clues in strange missions, as if there are ways to survive everywhere.

But if you really follow these clues, you can't find a way out, and you can't find the direction to survive. It's like being trapped in the same place.

A large number of useless and disruptive clues trap the player's thinking, making it impossible to get out.

Encountering this situation is the most dangerous.

It makes players feel that they have gained a lot, and there are new gains every day. However, the more they gain, the more they are just going around in circles.

Chen Mu is facing this situation now!

His mind was stuck in place. The pile of clues at hand were like walls that trapped him and prevented his mind from reaching the other side of life.

After a moment, Chen Mu sighed.

He put down his pen, tore up the paper, and said to Xiaoye:

"I think we're in trouble for this weird mission."

It was also the first time that Xiaoye saw her boss so pessimistic.

“Boss, don’t worry. Brother Lang and I will follow you no matter what the situation is.”

Looking at his loyal subordinates, Chen Mu couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

I am usually good to my subordinates, and their cohesion can be seen in critical moments.

If the teammates were strangers and encountered such a desperate situation, they would probably have started fighting among themselves a long time ago.

"Let's go to sleep first." Chen Mu said:

"Tomorrow morning, let's go to the hostess's room and take a look.

Even though the rules say you can’t go, it’s time to take a chance.”

To be on the safe side, Chen Mu set up a night watch mechanism.

He and Xiaoye, one of them sleeps while the other stays awake, ensuring that there is always one person awake in the room.

For some reason, Chen Mu always felt a little uneasy.

He had a vague feeling that something was going to happen tonight.

The hostess will not give the players something to do for no reason.

She must have had a purpose for suddenly asking the players to work intensively today and keep them working until 10 o'clock at night.

Chen Mu couldn't see through the purpose for the time being, so he could only wait silently, remain vigilant enough, and respond to the moves as they came.

The night is getting darker.

It was still drizzling outside the window, black waves kept hitting the beach, and occasionally a sharp flash of lightning streaked across the sky.

The entire island was shrouded in a layer of fog.
