"You mean that the NPC will leave a rose-shaped mark after killing someone?" Qin Xiujie asked curiously.

"Yes, this rose flower may be the system's LOGO." Chu Fei nodded.

"So what you found is the clue of the main line, how will it help us pass the level in this world?"

"From the murderer's way of killing Luo Yun, it is an NPC who pursues the art of killing. The shape of Luo Yun's upside-down Tarot symbolizes sacrifice and sacrifice. In fact, from the shape of it attacking me last night, I feel that, This is an NPC who does everything symbolically."

"A fictitious character who is passionate about art and form? Interesting." Qin Xiujie nodded, "Continue, I am very interested in your topic."

"According to the research on perverted murderers, they like to engage in certain ritualized things. Since the rose flower imprint is 'special' to them, there may be objects with similar shapes near their activities." Chu Fei analyzed Said, "Let's go to each player's room together to find out if there are similar items?"

Qin Xiujie asked with a smile: "I remember you were very wary of me yesterday, so is it okay to tell me everything now?"

Chu Fei replied nonchalantly: "Aren't we a temporary cooperative relationship? If you are the murderer, then it will be easier for me to find out if you work together."

The two spent the morning carefully studying all the rooms where the players stayed last night.

Among them, there are five people who have suspected items: Xie Junheng lives in the small attic, and there is a flower book in the room, with roses in the pages; Lin Xiaoting lives in the study room, and the glass desk lamp lampshade on the writing desk is an idyllic green Rose; Liang Xiaofeng lives in the master bedroom, with a pot of roses on the window sill; Bai Shanshan lives in the piano room on the first floor, and there is a bottle of pink rose perfume in the room; A tile is embellished with pale gold rosettes.

Among these five people, Xie Junheng is the closest, Bai Shanshan is the easiest to make Luo Yun relax her vigilance, Liang Xiaofeng is powerful, Lin Xiaoting has a certain leading role in the team, and Tao Yixia plays soy sauce.Chu Fei and Qin Xiujie exchanged their suspicions, but both felt that there was no conclusive evidence.

When it was time for dinner, everyone gathered in the living room anxiously, and the sound of the system sounded from midair again.

"Congratulations on surviving one night. Everyone must have drawn their own skill cards. Please keep in mind how to use skills, which will help you survive more nights. Then, little rabbits, find the big one hidden among you." Is it a wolf with a tail?"

Everyone looks at me and I look at you, but they dare not be the first to answer.

On the contrary, the unremarkable Ge Tianyi broke the silence: "If I answer the murderer correctly, can I leave smoothly?"

"Of course, like the last secret room, if a player succeeds in deciphering it, I will send him (her) out, and at the same time, the difficulty of other secret rooms will be upgraded again."

"Anyway, not to mention that he might be killed inexplicably like Luo Yun at night, it's better to bet on a suspicious candidate." Ge Tianyi complained.

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and everyone started talking in low voices.

Qin Xiujie patted the back of Chu Fei's hand and shook his head as a gesture.Chu Fei nodded his head. He also felt that he should not talk nonsense until the final confirmation.

"You'd better think it through before you talk." Lin Xiaoting reminded.

Who knew that Ge Tianyi, who was just complaining, immediately became agitated. He stood up, pointed at Lin Xiaoting and cursed: "You still have the face to say that after listening to your suggestion, everyone finds a room to sleep alone. It is easier for us to be defeated by the murderer one by one. In fact, you are the murderer, right? From the beginning, you used language traps to deceive us step by step."

"Calm down." Liang Xiaofeng persuaded, "After last night, everyone was in a bad mood, but excitement can't solve any problems."

"Yes." Chu Fei echoed, "According to what you said, Luo Yun was killed in the morning before everyone entered the restaurant, and only Xie Junheng lived closest to her in the morning, so I still want to say that he committed the crime The environment is the most convenient. Besides, Luo Yun didn’t go downstairs and he didn’t respond at all. Isn’t it suspicious to ask others to remind us to take us upstairs?”

Xie Junheng was so anxious that his face flushed red: "Why are you so bloody? Why did I kill Luo Yun? I don't know her at all! I see you have a fierce face. Everyone was a little afraid of you yesterday. It's the murderer."

Chu Fei, who was "looking fierce", adjusted his expression silently and put on an innocent face: "I just use you as an example to show that don't rush to judge, don't care."

Ge Tianyi was so irritated that he scratched his hair, as if he had made up his mind: "Don't worry about it, I'll bet on Lin Xiaoting."

Qin Xiujie said coldly: "Actually, I also doubt Lin Xiaoting. He was the one who got the key to the secret room last time, but he didn't use it immediately. If it is a system NPC, he must find a way to stay instead of leaving. However, now I kind of ruled out his suspicion."

"Why?" Xiao Tingting asked curiously.

"Because the system hasn't responded yet." Qin Xiujie spread his hands.

The inorganic mechanical voice of the system that had not responded all this time suddenly sounded: "Player Ge Tianyi, are you sure you identify Lin Xiaoting as the murderer?"

"I'm sure."

Many pink butterflies suddenly fell from the sky above the living room, and they disappeared before touching everyone's shoulders.

"Start the trial of roses. When the clock strikes midnight, those who answer correctly will leave, and those who answer incorrectly will be punished. May you all have sweet dreams."

The system disappeared again.

This was destined to be another sleepless night. Some people chose to stay alone in their own room like last night, while some, such as Chu Fei and Qin Xiujie, chose to share the room.

One of the biggest advantages of working with two people is that they can take turns and finally close their eyes for a while.At 45:[-] in the middle of the night, Qin Xiujie woke up the sleeping Chu Fei.

"Is it time?" Chu Fei rubbed his eyes and got up from the bed.

"There are still 15 minutes, let's go out to find out the situation."

Chu Fei nodded. He fished a kitchen knife from the kitchen, and Qin Xiujie held the iron rod that was used as a weapon in the room last night. The two pushed the door open a little, and walked out lightly.

The hallway was still as dark as the mouth of a monster, especially since there was no moon tonight.Maybe because there was a companion by his side, Chu Fei felt much more at ease than last night.

"Will Ge Tianyi still live in the same place tonight?" He asked softly.

"According to my observation before going to bed, he didn't move, and entered the audio-visual room alone." Qin Xiujie replied.

"I would definitely not choose that room. Don't you feel terrified in front of several big screens in this environment?" Chu Fei complained in a low voice as he went downstairs.

"It is said to be for playing games."

"I don't really understand their nerds, what kind of games are they playing at this time."

"Maybe it's to relieve the pressure, shhh—" Qin Xiujie made a sudden silence, and the two who had just stepped down the last step of the stairs quickly hid behind the rockery decoration inside the stairs.

A black figure flashed past behind the glass screen in the living room.

"who?"

"Maybe the murderer."

The two communicated in a very low voice.

"Look over there."

When they came to the screen, they found that this ornament was facing Ge Tianyi's room.The audio-visual room is a relatively closed dark room, only a closed wooden door is connected to the living room.

Chu Fei squatted down and studied the crack of the door: "There is a faint light inside, it is that kind of changing light, maybe Ge Tianyi is still playing games."

"No." Qin Xiujie said, "There is no sound, it's not right."

"Maybe he used headphones?"

"No, there's not even the sound of buttons to operate the game."

Chu Fei leaned on the door and listened carefully. There was only the whistling of the wind inside, which seemed to be coming from the transom on the top. Other than that, there was really no movement.

"Where did that black shadow go?"

"Looks like a piano room."

"Is Bai Shanshan still in there?"

"Yes, she was scared by herself, so she took Xiao Tingting with her before going to bed."

"Let's go over and have a look." Chu Fei said as he walked forward, and stopped just after turning a corner, "Why is it windy here?"

At the corner of the living room, two windows were just opened, and the cool night breeze whizzed into the room, bringing with it the coolness of night dew and the fragrance of roses outside the window sill.

"Someone jumped out of the courtyard from here." Chu Fei stated an "impossible" fact in astonishment.

Because he and Qin Xiujie have tried several times before, this villa is a closed space, although you can see the scenery outside the window, but you can't hear, see, smell, let alone break through the confinement of the space to go outside.

Just like this time, Chu Fei picked a fruit from the kumquat tree in the corner and threw it out of the window, and was immediately bounced back by an invisible barrier.

What kind of person can pass through this barrier?

The two exchanged a look, only the murderer NPC allowed to move freely by the system.

It seems that it has begun to carry out today's mission.

"Boom!!!!!!!"

The loud sound of a heavy object hitting the black and white keys of the piano came from behind, and the two turned around at the same time, and Bai Shanshan's high-decibel scream came from her room: "Ah—————————————————!"

Chu Fei slammed on the door of the piano room a few times: "Is anyone there? I'm Chu Fei, open the door quickly."

There was the sound of a light switch in the room first, and then the pale Xiao Tingting opened the door.

"Chu Fei..." Although she stopped screaming after last night's fright, and faced the incredible incidents, her voice still trembled obviously, "Ge Tianyi died, the body It fell on the piano out of thin air."

Chu Fei looked behind her, and saw the pale Bai Shanshan sitting on the floor. Directly in front of her, Ge Tianyi's corpse with his eyes open was lying on the flip of the piano. For the sad sound just now, one hand was hanging from the piano to the ground, and a pentagram pattern was carved on the wrist by a sharp tool like a knife. This pattern pierced his artery, and the blood flowed down his hand until A few rose petals were scattered on the floor.

The author has something to say:

I'm stupid, I forgot to change the date of the manuscript box today after yesterday's two changes, so I didn't send it in the early morning of yesterday, so hurry up and add otz so it won't affect the normal update of the manuscript in the early morning of tonight.
