Fan Wan yawned, patted his cheek to keep himself awake, and kept watching the movement in the room.

I don't know how long it has passed, the wind blowing in from the window is not so cold, it seems to be blowing gently, and everything is still.

Consciousness was a little fuzzy, and drowsiness gradually enveloped him.

Until a sudden loud noise pierced the silence.

Fan Wan was startled in a half-dream and half-awake state, and opened his eyes, only to realize that he had fallen asleep unknowingly.

And the sound that woke him up was the castle bell.

A player is out!

Fan Wan's first reaction was to look at Pei Shu, but Pei Shu was lying on the sofa at the moment, covered with a quilt, judging from the cold expression in his half-closed eyes, he must have just been woken up by the sound of the bell .

Looking sideways, Chunxiong was lying on the bed next to him, sleeping soundly while holding the quilt on one side, he was not even woken up by the piercing bell, his chest rose and fell gently, and his breathing was even.

None of them ever left the room.

After careful calculation, the bell sounded the same as in the afternoon during the day, and it rang immediately when a player was out of the game, and it stopped after several times.

Fan Wan probably woke up when the bell rang the second and third time. At that time, Pei Shu was sitting on the sofa in such a short time. It is impossible to return to the room on this floor from other floors. It is almost certain. The suspicion that Pei Shu left has been ruled out

He is not a king.

Then, the next step is to confirm the player's exit.

Fan Wan and Pei Shu looked at each other, and then woke up the sleeping Chunxiong. Chunxiong, who was confused about the situation, rubbed his eyes, only to realize the seriousness of the situation, and asked, "Is the big uncle dead?"

"Go down and have a look." Pei Shu meant to go to the room of the big belly man.

The three hurried downstairs. Although the bell rang extremely loudly just now, no one else opened the door on the whole floor. They probably hid in the room, too scared to move.

Arriving at the door of the big belly man's room, Fan Wan stretched out his hand and twisted the doorknob, but found that it couldn't be turned, and the door was locked from the inside.

They all know the structure of the door, it cannot be locked from the outside, it can only be locked from the inside, and cannot be unscrewed from the outside.

This door is locked, could it be... the legendary secret room murder method?

"Hey! Big belly! Are you there? Open the door!" Fan Wan slapped the door hard with his palm.

Next door is the room of the girl with glasses. At this time, she pushed open a crack in the door, revealing her panicked eyes.

"Did you notice anything unusual just now, did you hear any sound or see someone?" Pei Shu asked the glasses girl.

The girl with glasses held the door with her hand, she didn't dare to come out, she shrank behind the door and answered honestly: "No, no..."

The man with the belly still didn't open the door. Fan Wan and Pei Shu exchanged glances. Fortunately, it was night, and the door was old and damaged.

Relying on this, Fan Wan took a step back, raised her foot, and kicked the door open with one kick.

The rusty door lock snapped open, and the three of them rushed into the room.

Sure enough, the big belly man died.

He fell beside the couch, covering his heart with his hands before he died, showing an unbelievably terrified face.

Like the first deceased, he also had no external injuries and died due to the rules of the game.But tonight the bell rang only once, indicating that there was only one dead person, excluding the duel of knights, there was no suspense that the king killed the knight.

Judging from the expression of the man with a big belly, he may not have thought that he would really die, or he may be too surprised to see the king's appearance.

Although she had made psychological preparations early in the morning, Fan Wan couldn't help but sigh when she saw the dead man's body.

Alas, it’s true that good people are bullied, pigs are ridden by fools, survival games are ruthless, no one will pity your stupidity, and no one can save those who make mistakes.However, there is one less innocent and happy character in the game.

Behind the sofa is a small balcony extending out, which is the same on every floor, because it is located on the first floor, where the balcony is connected to the garden behind the house.

Fan Wan poked his head out and gestured. The fence on the balcony was only half the height of a person.

"If the door is locked on the inside, it is obvious that the king did not enter or leave through the door, it may be through this balcony, so as to avoid attracting attention." Fan Wan said.

"It's not difficult to climb in through this fence. Men, women, and children can easily do it, and there is no direction. But it doesn't look like there are footprints on the railing. It is very likely that the king moved his hands through the railing." Pei Pei When Shu frowned, his face became more gloomy.

Fan Wan had a bad feeling: "It's very dangerous, the king may already have two knight cards in his hand."

Chunxiong asked a little puzzled: "Two? Shouldn't he use the knight card in the first deceased's hand to counter the knight card of this big belly uncle?"

"If you were the king, with the obvious knight card of this pot-bellied man, would you choose to kill him directly with the king card or the knight card against him?" Fan Wan asked.

"It's really worth killing directly with the king card." Chunxiong nodded, shrinking back in fear.

No other clues were found anywhere, so the three of them had to go back to the room first.

Before leaving, Fan Wan looked at the garden from the balcony. The dense fog had not cleared, the weeds were overgrown, and the sight could not penetrate. I did not know what was hidden in the depths. There was not even a trace of outline in the distance, only a strange creaking sound came from time to time. The sound was like a bird but not a bird, maybe some kind of nocturnal animal.

The next day, after the warm sun's rays broke through the clouds, this huge and empty castle stood up again from a pile of ruins, with a new look.

Fan Wan changed from a tramp to a royal crown prince overnight.

The scene is really big, and the special effects are worth the ticket price.

After dawn, when the castle was restored to its original appearance, other people dared to go out and began to go downstairs one after another. They probably planned to wander around the castle and look for the clues that the butler said.

After all, another person died, so there was no delay.

Several people divided into groups and set off separately. Fan Wan naturally paired with Chunxiong and Pei Shu. After Pei Shu's suspicion was ruled out, Fan Wan's attitude eased a lot.

The three of them strolled around first. The left wing of the castle was where they lived. They walked around a round-shaped corridor. There was a tower with many stained glass windows nearby. The pointed top of the tower pierced the sky. The sun shone on the windows and reflected a wave of light.

It looks very gorgeous, like a place like Treasure Pavilion.

The sun was shining on his eyelids, Fan Wan blocked it with his hands, and said with a finger: "Go up there and have a look, after all, it's a game, and the location of the auxiliary clues should be relatively iconic."

The tower is actually not as high as it looks. The entrance is a spiral staircase, and the upper floor is a library. The layout looks a bit like a king's study. Gold and silver porcelain are placed on the stairs along the way, which is very luxurious.

The study room was not locked, and the door opened as soon as it was pushed. The tall shelves on display were full of books. There was a bed next to it, and a square desk stood on it. All kinds of exquisite tea sets with metallic luster seemed to be designed by the king Like to put.

The scene was as realistic as if the king had been reading and taking a rest here just now, and the cup was still full of tea fragrance mist.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw a booklet dropped from under the bookshelf.

Fan Wan picked it up and saw that the words on it seemed like some king's habits and precautions that a servant had memorized casually.

For example, the king likes to write manuscripts in the study room, and the gold-plated letter paper is locked in the treasure box. In the early morning, the knights will be in the bedroom on the west side, waiting for the king to have a morning audience, and the prisoner has written a confession and has been sentenced to death, etc.

Looks like this is the clue.

It’s not difficult to guess, Fan Wan sorted it out: “It’s very simple, assuming that this hint means that there are three clues, namely the king line, knight line and criminal line, then to check the king is to find the diary written by the king, it should be In a certain treasure box in this study room, the knight’s clues are to be found in the west bedroom, and then there is the criminal, it is estimated that there is a dungeon here, and the criminal’s confession should be found in it.”

Pei Shu nodded and said, "Although it's a bit risky, let's search separately. This will save time. Everyone will come back here to collect information before dinner at night."

"Good idea, then I'll go to the dungeon and check the criminal's line." Fan Wan said.

Chunxiong weakly raised his hand: "I'll go to the west bedroom to check the knight line."

Pei Shu said, "Then I'll stay here and look for the king's diary."
