As Chen Mu saw through the inertia of thinking, he began to analyze again.

The originally chaotic and confusing situation began to show a glimmer of hope.

On the night of Jiang Xiaoge's death, Chen Mu thought of an obvious anomaly -

At that time, Bai Jingjing screamed, and her voice was so penetrating that even Chen Mu heard it in the study.

The master bedroom is closer to the stairs than the study. Theoretically, Mom and Dad must have heard it too.

And the screams they heard should have been louder.

My mother once said that she didn't want players to wander around the house during bedtime.

So it's common sense that when the mother heard Bai Jingjing's cry, she would definitely go out to check.

But Chen Mu remembered very clearly that the door of the master bedroom was always closed, and his parents never came out from beginning to end!

This is an extremely abnormal phenomenon!

In order to avoid getting stuck in a dead end, Chen Mu decided to brainstorm and ask Xiaoxi for her opinion.

Chen Mu looked at Xiao Xi and started chatting with her:

"Xiao Xi, you said Bai Jingjing was screaming last night, why didn't mom and dad go out to check?

If it were you, under what circumstances would you not go out? "

Xiao Xi thought for a moment and replied, "If I'm not in the room, I definitely won't go out."

This straightforward answer once again made Chen Mu's eyes light up.

Apart from the complicated reasons like "I don't want to care, I'm suppressed by the old lady and dare not go out", what Xiaoxi said is the simplest and most straightforward.

Do not add entities if not necessary!

In a weird mission, if a phenomenon can be explained simply, then don't introduce additional entities to explain it.

"You're right. At that time, one or both of Mom and Dad were probably not in the room. That's why they wouldn't go out to check!"

Chen Mu's tone was somewhat excited, "The person who killed Jiang Xiaoge is most likely one of them!"

The murderer is one of them!

Naturally, Chen Mu first turned his suspicious gaze to his mother.

Did mom hide in the basement and kill Jiang Xiaoge there?

As I said, as long as you kill people, there must be a way not to be killed!

Chen Mu once again put himself in Jiang Xiaoge's shoes and began to recall every detail about his mother.

When mom is hiding in the basement, based on the clues from the previous two days, how can I avoid being killed by her when I enter the basement?

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mu frowned again.

There is no way! There is no other way except to listen to mom's rules and not sneak into the basement.

This conflicts with the statement “Players must have a way to enter the basement”!

By breaking the inertia of thinking one after another, Chen Mu's guesses became more and more bold.

A bold guess gradually emerged in his mind.

Chen Mu patted Xiao Xi's head and said to her:

"After everyone falls asleep tonight, come with me. There is something I need to verify.

Once verified, I will be able to get a general idea of ​​how to survive."

Xiao Xi looked up in confusion. Brother Chen just asked a question, and now he was going to know the way out?

Xiao Xi had been thinking just now, but his mind was fuzzy and he still couldn't figure out where the way out was.

"Brother Chen, what are we going to do tonight?" Xiao Xi asked curiously.

Chen Mu did not answer, but instead gave a mysterious smile.

"You'll know when the time comes."

"So do we still need to study now?"

"No, don't learn those things. Survival has nothing to do with them. Oh, and beware of those two players.

They are teammates who can cooperate in the early stage but need to be guarded against in the later stage.

In the early stages, everyone didn’t have many clues, so they cooperated to exchange information.

In the later stages, when a way of survival becomes apparent and everyone starts to flee, they are most likely to backstab their teammates and thus seize the opportunity to escape.

Don't tell them that we went out tonight. We pretended to study so as not to arouse suspicion.

After saying this, Chen Mu sat back in his chair and started spinning his pen with ease.

Seeing that lunch time was approaching, my mother called me downstairs to eat.

Chen Mu pulled Xiao Xi and sat on the chair instead. He pretended to read and began to read aloud.

The reason why Chen Mu did this was to make Bai Jingjing think that Chen Mu and Bai Jingjing were working hard to prepare for the exam.

In this way, even if Bai Jingjing creates obstacles, it is only to "prevent Chen Mu from learning" and will not affect Chen Mu's efforts to find the real way out.

When it comes to playing tricks, Chen Mu calls himself second, and no one dares to claim to be first.

Sure enough, Bai Jingjing and Peng Jun knocked on Chen Mu's door when they passed by.

On the surface, it was a considerate way to call Chen Mu down to eat, but in fact it was to spy on Chen Mu's study situation.

When they saw Chen Mu reciting the text frantically and loudly, Bai Jingjing and Peng Jun couldn't help but become anxious.

It’s true - the sound of my roommate playing games makes me fall asleep happily, and the sound of my roommate flipping through books keeps me awake at night.

"I'm still learning. Mom has called us downstairs to eat."

Bai Jingjing smiled sweetly and urged Chen Mu jokingly.

However, Boss Chen, who is well versed in human nature, continued to spread anxiety, "You two go downstairs to eat first, Xiaoxi and I will study for another ten minutes."

Seeing Chen Mu's blatant inward-looking attitude, Bai Jingjing almost exploded on the spot.

At that moment, Bai Jingjing didn't go down either, and pulled Peng Jun back to continue reciting.

An atmosphere of involution began to spread among the players.

Chen Mu used this trick to stimulate Bai Jingjing's internal anxiety, making Bai Jingjing and Peng Jun obsessed with studying and thus ignoring the real way of life. It can be said that he was killing people invisibly.

People don't offend me, I don't offend people.

Bai Jingjing first tricked Chen Mu, so Chen Mu naturally had to fight back. This way, Bai Jingjing could be prevented from causing trouble and picking Chen Mu's peaches in the end.

Elegant Boss Chen, his way of fighting back is so civilized.

Mom called for a long time, but the players didn't come down to eat.

The puzzled mother went upstairs to check, only to see that the players were all working hard to memorize and study.

Xiaoxi recites the most loudly, and her chirping voice is catchy.

Of course, it would be more perfect if we could ignore the book he held upside down.

Seeing the players learning, the mother smiled with satisfaction.

Chen Mu also smiled with relief.

Mom thinks she has everything under control, and Bai Jingjing also thinks she has everything under control. Only Chen Mu knows that he has everything under control.

It’s better for everyone to be confused.

This is a win-win-win situation!

All three parties thought they had won, but only Boss Chen won three times.

During lunch, Pengjun went upstairs as planned and tore up Chen Mu and Xiaoxi's books.

Chen Muming knew that Peng Jun was making trouble, but he was too lazy to care and a scornful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

In the afternoon and evening, the players continued to compete.

Chen Mu asked Xiao Xi to read louder to continue creating anxiety for Bai Jingjing and Peng Jun.

As the night gradually deepened, Chen Mu put away his relaxed look.

He patted Xiaoxi on the back, signaling Xiaoxi to get ready to go.
