Star Trace Gate

There are currently completely unexplainable strange events, unfathomable laws of nature, and one person dies every night...

When everyone muttered these key words in their hearts, their faces became extremely ugly.

The laws of nature cannot be defied. If you cannot find the correct solution to the puzzle, no matter how many supernatural powers you have, you will die in that cold secret room.

This is the core rule of this star gate, and it is irreversible...

For a moment, negative emotions of fear, anxiety, and uneasiness instantly filled the hearts of every player.

After a while, Xiao Shuai said with a gloomy face, "On the first day, everyone only got the initial clues. We haven't even figured out the main characters yet, and such a weird murder happened at night. This... this Star Gate is fucking outrageous. The Heavenly Dao created such a mechanism, so who can get through it? There is absolutely no solution! At least it was like this on the first day..."

"Yes, this rule is too rigid and doesn't give people any breathing space." Brother Hong agreed.

"Don't panic, everyone." Fatty Tan said to comfort them, "I think we should all express our opinions and work together to find a solution."

"It's already half past six, and there are less than twelve hours left until we go home at six tonight. That means after six tonight, one of the seven of us will die." Xiao Shuai is obviously a man who cherishes his life. He said a little anxiously, "With such a short time and no direction at all, how can we come up with a shitty solution?"

"Don't panic." Yin Hu said coldly, "It's useless."

"I'm not panicking. I'm just stating the facts and estimating the time, do you understand?" Xiao Shuai retorted.

"Don't argue for now. I think we still have to find out the strange killing mechanism to break this situation." At this time, the old cadre said calmly: "Now is not the time to hide anything. One person dies every night, which affects the lives of everyone. So, everyone should share clues and find details."

"Yes."

The woman interrupted, "Also find out why I fell into a coma. This may also be related to the strange killing mechanism."

Ren Ye looked at her calmly but said nothing.

"Well, I agree with the stationmaster." Fatty Tan frowned and said, "If we don't break this weird killing mechanism, anyone could die. No matter how many clues we have, it's meaningless. So, we have to determine the direction to break the deadlock first."

"Do you have any ideas?" Brother Hong asked.

Fatty Tan raised his head slowly: "To determine the direction of breaking the deadlock, we must figure out the basic logic of this secret room. For example, whose secret room is this, who is killing people, etc. So, I want to ask, among all of us, who is pursuing the line of Song Mingzhe?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, all with strange expressions, and no one responded.

Fatty Tan added calmly, "I have no ill intention in asking this. You see, Xiao Yuan said yesterday that there are four people in the Song family, namely, father Song Mingzhe, mother Pan Lianrong, eldest son Song An, and youngest son Song Yi. I personally think that the person who can build a secret room and has all the conditions for killing people should be Song Mingzhe. So, as long as we follow his clues and dig deeper, we should be able to find a way to solve the strange murder case."

When Xiao Shuai heard this, his eyes lit up instantly: "This idea is reliable, and Song Mingzhe is indeed the most suspicious. Didn't we find out that Song Mingzhe goes home at a fixed time every night, always after 11 o'clock, while Pan Lianrong's home time is not fixed, she can go home at any time. Then according to the : mechanism of this secret room, Song Mingzhe may be the only character who has the time to commit the crime."

As soon as he finished speaking, the woman immediately added: "My connection with the stationmaster is to investigate the eldest son Song An."

Brother Hong glanced at them but didn't say anything, because he knew in his heart that Ren Ye had clues about Song Mingzhe, but it was impossible for him to expose King Huai in such an occasion.

"The clue between Xiao Shuai and me is to find the mother Pan Lianrong." Tan Pang said: "Xiao Yuan's clue should also be to find this clue."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Shuai, the old cadre station chief, and the woman all looked at Yin Hu, Ren Ye, and Hong Ge.

"You got the clue about Song Mingzhe?" Xiao Shuai frowned and asked, "Then why don't you tell us?"

Yin Hu looked at him coldly and didn't reply.

"Brother, human lives are at stake! If we can't find a way to break the impasse, someone will die tonight." The old cadre looked at Ren Ye anxiously.

Ren Ye sat on the chair, lowered his head and rubbed his palms, saying: "Yes, I am following Song Mingzhe's line. I checked yesterday and the owner of this secret room should be him."

"That means, there is a 99% chance that the person who killed someone in this secret room last night was Song Mingzhe, or his ghost?!" asked the old cadre.

"Yeah." Ren nodded.

"So what clues do you have? Tell us quickly, so we can analyze it together." Xiao Shuai urged.

“Yeah, say it out, let’s talk about it together.” The woman also urged.

Ren Ye looked at everyone silently, his eyes sharp, but did not respond.

He didn't take the initiative to reveal the clues about who he was chasing just now because he was afraid of this situation. People died every night, which was of course very scary, and it also involved the safety of everyone, but the problem was... just because this matter involved everyone's interests, he must take out his own clues and let all members analyze them.

This is equivalent to showing all your cards to others. If someone is disgusting and secretly cuts off the clues, then there is no point in playing the game and you might as well just give up.

At present, the six people and one tiger left in this room all have their own thoughts in their minds, and none of them is a role given for nothing.

Yinhu also discovered this, so he chose to remain silent from beginning to end.

"Speak up!" Seeing that the three of them were silent, Xiao Shuai immediately urged them: "If you don't say anything, how can we analyze it?"

"Do I owe you anything?" Yinhu's eyes darkened. "I have such a big tiger head, don't I look smart enough?! Do I need your analysis?"

"But if you don't tell us, we'll all be stuck here waiting to die." The woman also interjected.

"Yes, the clues about Song Mingzhe still need to be shared, otherwise we will have no clue." The old cadre added with a frown.

Brother Hong said, "Don't use moral blackmail. The clue is in their hands. Sharing it with you is a favor. Not sharing it is my duty. What's there to argue about?"

Xiao Shuai looked down at him and said, "You have clues about Song Mingzhe, so of course you said that. But we are completely in the dark now..."

Brother Hong looked up: "I don't have any clues about Song Mingzhe, I got Song An's. Let's talk about the facts, understand?"

Xiao Shuai was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "Then this...!"

"Stop arguing!"

Captain Tan suddenly interrupted and frowned, "Don't quarrel at this time. We must take care of everyone's interests while also taking care of our own interests. I think Lao Hong is right. No one should kidnap anyone."

As a cheap captain, he had no leadership skills before, and no one respected him. But because Tan Pang has always had a high emotional intelligence and took good care of everyone, he must have the best popularity.

But at this point, the role of popularity becomes prominent.

After Fat Tan shouted, no one said anything or objected.

He glanced around with satisfaction, then turned to look at Yin Hu and Ren Ye again: "Since Song Mingzhe is the owner of this secret room, the direction of breaking the situation can be determined. If we dig deeper into Song Mingzhe's clues, there is a high probability that we can find a way to solve the strange murder case, because Star Gate will not really give you a dead end that cannot be solved."

"However, the clues in your hands are all private, and it is definitely inappropriate to share them. Therefore, I suggest that the two of you must not leave separately today. You must do your best to track down Song Mingzhe's clues, strive to make rapid progress, and find a way to break the deadlock."

"To put it bluntly, whether or not someone will die today actually depends on how fast you two can investigate."

After he finished speaking, he waited politely for Ren Ye and Yin Hu's response.

"I agree." The old cadre nodded: "This will not only protect the interests of everyone, but also protect personal interests."

"I agree," the woman agreed.

At this time, Xiao Shuai frowned and said, "Let me say one more thing. I don't mean to target anyone. It's just that this matter concerns everyone's life and death, so it's better to be rigorous."

"What do you want to say?" asked Fat Tan.

"What if they find a way out but don't tell us when they come back, then what should we do?" Xiao Shuai said, "I didn't say they are mean people, but there is a possibility, isn't it?"

Ren Ye looked at him and replied coldly: "I won't find it for you, what can you do?"

Xiao Shuai didn't fight back this time, he just said helplessly: "There's really nothing I can do. The thing is in your hands, you can do whatever you want. But I really don't mean to target you, I just... don't want to be the one-seventh, I've been having bad luck in gambling lately...!"

As soon as he said that, Ren no longer had any intention of retaliating.

In fact, everyone was very panicked, including King Huai. No matter how powerful he was or how many treasures he had, as long as the forced death mechanism was triggered, he would be killed.

"How about this."

Fat Tan thought for a moment and said, "Do you believe in my character? Today I won't check my own clues. I will just follow the two of them. If they find a way to break the situation, then I will know that there is no possibility of behind-the-scenes manipulation."

"Captain, I don't mean anything against you. I mean, what if you end up in cahoots with them?" Xiao Shuai asked, stretching his neck.

"What can we do? Then just go to hell." Fatty Tan couldn't help but spit out, "If you don't believe anything I say, then just don't play. Let's not do anything today, just wait until the evening to play the suona and that's it."

After being scolded several times in a row, Xiao Shuai immediately became honest: "I don't mean to target you..."

"Put away your little broken needle, put it away!" Fat Tan replied with a glare.

"If everyone follows them to complete the mission, it will be no different from sharing clues." The old cadre raised his hand: "The plan given by the captain is the most reasonable. I agree."

"I agree too." Brother Hong raised his hand.

“+1!” the woman responded.

"You don't need to add 1. Your affairs have not been sorted out yet." Brother Hong looked at her and said, "Personally, I think you have no right to vote."

"Are you sick? Why are you targeting me?!" The woman was a little angry: "I've already told you that I'm more curious about the truth than you are."

"Heh." Brother Hong sneered.

"Sure. If we can find a way to break the impasse, everyone will naturally know what's going on." The woman said this wisely and said no more.

"That's it."

Fatty Tan stood up and said, "Today, I, Shabao, and Brother Hu are going to follow the clues about Song Mingzhe together. However, it is best for everyone else to act as a team and not go it alone. First, this can dispel some of the suspicions of others; second, it is more efficient. In case we find information about the secret room in other clues, maybe we can break the situation without Song Mingzhe."

Ren Ye slowly stood up and nodded, "The captain gave me a gift, so I'll listen to him."

"No problem." Yin Hu responded.

"Then let's get ready to go." Fat Tan made the decision.

"Wait a moment."

At this moment, Xiao Shuai waved his hands and muttered weakly: "...I have a sharp question. That is, after Xiao Yuan died, he left behind fragments of his autobiography and gold coins... How do we divide these things?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Yin Hu was silent for a long time and said, "Damn it... the knife is already on your neck, and you still want to share those few gold coins. You are really greedy for money and afraid of death!"
