[Infinite] End Game

"...From the chronological point of view, it is currently known that at 8:13 pm on August 10th, Li Yunjia was followed by someone on his way home at night. Then there should be a violation case, and the identity of the prisoner is unknown, but after that Li Yunjia probably left a shadow behind, so she quit her job and received treatment at home."

"In addition, the trace of the elevator that only blacked out the number but did not write any insulting language is considered to be the initial handwriting. According to our inference, this trace should also appear around the 13th. And through the convenience store. From the receipt and purchase records, we can confirm that after August 8th, this place will be deserted, so the end time of the dungeon should also be the 25th."

The four of them sat around the dining table between the living room and the kitchen. Tang Yu took a pen and paper and wrote on it while sorting out the logic.

"We arrived at the instance on August 8th, and it has been three days now. The first day is Christmas Eve, and the second day is August 19th. The player who died was a resident of 8, and the way of death was in his own He fell to his death in the room and his vocal organs were taken away, but even if he couldn’t call for help, the force that could break the bones would not be small. But for this, the residents upstairs and downstairs said they didn’t hear anything. The sound of impact."

"On August 8, that is, last night, two players died. The female player on the 21th floor was directly obliterated by the game because she violated the rules of the dungeon. She also left her body to warn other players. We will not mention this for now. The other deceased was a social man, the cause of his death was excessive blood loss, and his whole body was soaked in blood when he was found."

"Through the death of the social man and 1403, combined with our respective situations, we can try to draw some conclusions. Of course, there is still some information that is not known, so these conclusions may be overturned, but you can still listen to it." Tang Yu subconsciously tapped on the paper with the tip of a pen, and then looked at the two children's concentration and anticipation before continuing: "First, each of us has corresponding omens. These omens should correspond to We have our own way of death, but from the beginning of the omen until the falling of the scythe of death, each of us has a separate line, that is to say, there is no way for players to help each other directly."

"Of course, players who are assigned to the same room get the same omen, that is to say, players in the same room are counted together by the instance. This also explains why neither Chef Zhang nor I can touch the cat behind him. Mao, but his roommate can. Because if I guess correctly, Li Yunjia’s cat should have been tortured and killed by the original head of the household in Zhang Da’s kitchen, and they replaced the head of the household, so the way they both died should be Cats. And removing the part of the cat that belongs to the body is the same as finding Li Yunjia's cat, which may be a way to prolong their lives, but outsiders can't help with this, only they can do it themselves."

"Second, they are all omens, but they are different in nature from the way of death. Some of them have practical significance, while others don't. This is what I call the hint group and the actual group."

"The one that has no practical meaning refers to the one who fell to his death. Are there still social men?" Following Tang Yu's train of thought, Si Nian thought about it and felt that it was not quite right, so he said, "However, if we distinguish by meaning, So what’s the point of hearing a voice above my head? If I’m upstairs Li Yunjia can explain it, but I’m downstairs—could it be that I installed a tower shaker on the ceiling?”

"You should also belong to the reminder group, and so do I." Tang Yu smiled, and seeing Sanhua and Sinian both showing surprised expressions, he first told them what happened last night, skipping it of course In the part of Chang He, he only said that he smashed the mirror before ending the narration, and then he said in the worried eyes of the two children: "To explain this problem, we can first put forward a hypothesis. We all know that we It is not the real head of the household, but just replaced the identity of the head of the household, but the question is, why are only our few households replaced? There are two explanations for this, the first is that the dungeons are randomly arranged, and the second is because the players These households are related to Li Yunjia's matter."

No matter how you look at it, the second possibility is more likely.

"I still have a question." Si Nian thought for a while and said, "Why do you think Li Yunjia committed suicide by jumping off a building?"

"Then why do you think the first player was thrown to death?" Tang Yu asked back.

"...Because Li Yunjia fell to his death?" Si Nian's eyes lit up, and he said, "That is to say, the reminder team exists to allow us to guess what will happen on the 25th? Then what about the shedding of the social man? What's going on?"

"...No." Si Nian rubbed his face and repeated mutteringly: "The form is not important, what matters is the cause of death, the cause of death is excessive blood loss, blood loss..."

"Ah!" Si Nian raised his head all of a sudden, and quickly figured out the meaning, then couldn't help but gasped, and said, "Did Li Yunjia jump off the building in a red dress? The so-called shedding is not the point, The real clue is that his body is covered in blood. Then, the reason why Li Yunjia jumped off the building was not to escape, but... because, hate?"

"In the dungeon, it is completely feasible to wear red clothes and become a ghost." As Tang Yu gradually analyzed, Si Nian only felt chills all over, but he was still a little puzzled, so he asked, "Why is she so strong?" hate?"

"It's not clear now, and my hints can't explain this. Maybe we have to wait until new hints come out, but it's also possible that the female player on the 16th floor is also in the hint group, but she has been excluded by the game rules. If her The prompt corresponds exactly to this, and we would never have the answer."

"Wouldn't the remaining middle-aged male player be the hint group?" Sanhua raised her hand and asked.

"No." The person who answered was Chang He. He glanced at Sanhua and said, "Today he has a very faint smell of paint."

"Paint?" Sanhua also thought of something, "Is he replacing the person who poured paint into the model?"

"Maybe they did something else," Tang Yu said, "For example, they splashed paint on 2101 or Li Yunjia's paint. Speaking of this, the prompt group and the actual group can be distinguished. We all participated in Li Yunjia's The incident eventually led to her jumping off the building with hatred, but the question is what we did."

"Knocking on the door, making phone calls, splashing paint, and stealing cats to abuse them are all things that can actually happen, and I also tend to think that the above behaviors did happen and caused harm to Li Yunjia. These can be classified as actual groups... …but, what about us? What did the prompt team do?"

"We played the role of forcing Li Yunjia to death, but we can't really throw Li Yunjia around or make her lose too much blood, and we can't really do something in her bathroom..." Tang Yu The voice was cold, "So, after thinking about it carefully, I came to the conclusion that we are witnesses."

"The monitoring only captured the man following Li Yunjia into the corridor. Li Yunjia lives on the 21st floor, and it is impossible to take the stairs. In addition, those words appeared in the elevator, so it can be considered that the elevator was the scene of the incident, and we witnessed it. This time, the case was not stopped, on the contrary, it was revealed."

That's why Li Yunjia wanted to kill them all.
