The Easter Egg Game

After leaving the wooden door, Lin Jue found himself near the gate of the dormitory area, which was where Lu Yan killed people before the game started.Song Hanzhang also returned here, and it seems that he was automatically teleported to the location where the player was at the beginning of this round of the game.

But Lu Yan, who also entered the game from here, was not there. After chasing the cloaked man into the metal door of the 2022 team at the Corpse Ball, he disappeared.

"We're back? Senior, where are we going now? The square?" Lin Jue took out his phone and checked the time. The midnight party actually only lasted 10 minutes. It's 00:22 now. He still remembers leaving The 2022 team in front of the wooden gate made an agreement with them to meet in the square.

"Hmm." Song Hanzhang was still lost in thought, a little absent-minded.

Lin Jue instinctively felt that he was in a bad mood, and asked cautiously, "Is there something wrong?"

Song Hanzhang, who felt that there were problems everywhere, glanced at him: "No."

Lin Jue held back again, and kicked the ground that seemed to have been splashed with red paint depressedly. Song Hanzhang didn't want to tell him what he didn't want to tell him, and he didn't open his mouth even if he was bitten to death.He had no choice but to change the question. Anyway, he had a stomach full of questions to ask at this moment, so he picked the most urgent one: "Then you think Judas..."

The question of Judas has always troubled Lin Jue, whether it is Shan Liang or Liu Qingqing, or Gu Fengyi, in short, except for Song Hanzhang and Lu Ren, he has doubted everyone, and finally hesitated between Shan Liang and Liu Qingqing.He desperately hoped it was Shan Liang, but he couldn't make a conclusion until killing Judas showed Judas' law.

"It's probably Liu Qingqing." Song Hanzhang said.

In fact, he only confirmed it not long ago. Before he came to this conclusion, he suspected many people, even Gu Fengyi - he suspected that the person who died first was Gu Fengyi, and then Liu Qingqing helped her hide it, and the two teamed up to make a scene play.He also doubted Shan Liang, mainly because Liu Qingqing's words at the beginning were very confusing, and the four words "she is Judas" he wrote in blood also fit Judas' nature of sowing discord.But in the end Song Hanzhang still cast doubtful eyes on Liu Qingqing, even though her performance was really not a dedicated Judas, he still doubted her.

"Ah? But when she was at the wishing pool just now, she even gave Gu Fengyi a crossbow. Judas probably wouldn't do such a thing." Lin Jue couldn't help but speak for Liu Qingqing.

"Maybe it's to let us relax our vigilance. In short, she is more suspicious than Shan Liang." Song Hanzhang said.

"Why?" Lin Jue asked, he still felt that Shan Liang was more suspicious, and emotionally speaking, he also hoped that Judas would be Shan Liang instead of Liu Qingqing.

"In terms of strength, before returning to the square to retrieve his skills, Liu Qingqing was at an absolute disadvantage. Although Shan Liang didn't look strong, his ability to escape from us many times has proved that he is not as strong as he appears on the surface. It looks so weak. And when the strength of the monsters at the beginning is not much different, Liu Qingqing has the highest probability of death, which is one of them."

"The second is Liu Qingqing's rhetoric. When she was in the square, she claimed that she killed the injured Shan Liang, and promised us to see Shan Liang's body. This behavior seems to be her confidence, but it can be explained that she brought We went to see a pool of blood left behind by whoever it was, and then expressed in horror that Shan Liang’s body was gone. When Shan Liang reappeared, he was undoubtedly the resurrected Judas, and whatever he said was sowing discord But the problem is, she knew that any corpse of a dead player might be resurrected as Judas, but she left the corpse after killing Shanliang. If I were her, I would definitely bring some 'souvenirs' back, It would be best to cut off Shanliang’s head like Lu Yan did, and one ear is also fine, so that everyone can know that Shanliang is dead, and will never meet Shanliang who is possessed by Judas in the future. Blinded."

"...Senior, you have too high demands on ordinary people. An ordinary girl might not have the courage to do such a thing, and she doesn't have a knife. When she arrived at the square, she only had a crowbar she picked up. "Lin Jue smiled wryly.

"However, assuming that Liu Qingqing has been revived by Judas, and then reverse the cause and effect, we can get a logical story." Song Hanzhang said.

"What story?" Lin Jue was so curious that he watched Song Hanzhang waiting for him to speak.

Song Hanzhang licked his dry lips, feeling a little thirsty.Here it is again, this urge to play tricks on Lin Jue, every time he wants to do this, the habit he has forcibly cultivated for a long time will always correct his behavior, let him restrain himself. To please oneself behavior.

But this time Song Hanzhang unexpectedly wanted to let himself go, so it's okay to do it occasionally, right?

"Forget it, it's too troublesome to talk about, you just need to remember to be careful with Liu Qingqing." Song Hanzhang closed the chatterbox without warning, and went on strike after arousing Lin Jue's appetite.

Lin Jue suddenly became anxious: "Say it, I want to hear it!"

Song Hanzhang glanced at him. Lin Jue's appearance reminded him of a neighbor's puppy that he accidentally kicked when he was on the road. Wronged but can only bite his shoelaces to vent his anger without any threat.

Of course, Lin Jue couldn't know what the indifferent Song Hanzhang was thinking. He tried his best to make himself look very sincere, like an excellent listener who wanted to listen to the story, and hoped that this sincere look could impress the other party.This feeling of ups and downs is even more disturbing than that of a person kneeling in front of his girlfriend and presenting a diamond ring to propose marriage.

Song Hanzhang took out the kettle, unscrewed the lid, and took a sip slowly: "Do you want a drink?"

No, I want to hear a story, Lin Jue thought.But Song Hanzhang had already handed over the kettle, so Lin Jue had no choice but to take a sip, and then remembered that Song Hanzhang had just drank it—he immediately looked at the bottle with a guilty conscience, and then stole a glance at Song Hanzhang, as if he didn't pay attention at all.Lin Jue didn't know what kind of thoughts he had, so he took another sip silently.

"Recall Liu Qingqing's remarks again. She said that she killed a monster in the illusion, and after leaving the illusion, she met Shan Liang who killed the monster but was injured—she said that there was a notch on the back of Shan Liang's hand ——She took the opportunity to kill him, and then came to the square. When she arrived at the square, there were 5 people left, and there was a notch on the back of her hand, which seems logical, right? But just now I suddenly thought, is the time already right? up."

"Ah?" Lin Jue didn't notice anything wrong with the time.

Song Hanzhang patiently analyzed for him: "Gu Fengyi was the first to arrive at the square. I confirmed to her that when she arrived at the square, there were already 5 people remaining. That is to say, the player died when Gu Fengyi arrived at the square. Before. From the experience of the first two rounds, the remaining safe time of the square is calculated from the time when the first player arrives at the square. The time I arrived at the square was 20:13, and the remaining time of the square was 52 minutes, which means Gu Fengyi Arrived at the square at 20:05, and within 20 minutes from 00:20 to 05:5 when the game started, the player was already dead."

Lin Jue couldn't stop nodding. What Song Hanzhang said was very simple and easy to understand. Anyone who pays attention can easily come to this conclusion. But the fact is that the players are confused by the terrifying monsters and the environment, and no one cares about these few minutes. Time difference.

"Liu Qingqing took us to see Shan Liang's body. I didn't time the journey accurately, but I still had a sense of time. We didn't walk fast at that time, but even at this ordinary walking speed, we only walked at most. 7 minutes! If you switch to running or brisk walking, this distance will definitely not exceed 5 minutes. Liu Qingqing was the fourth to arrive at the square at 20:15, which means that even if she killed Shan Liang and walked slowly to Square, the time she killed Shan Liang will definitely not be earlier than 20:08! But as I said earlier, the first player died before 20:05, so the time difference of at least 3 minutes is from Where did it come from?"

Lin Jue felt a chill, yes, according to Liu Qingqing's statement, unless she killed the monster quickly after the start of the game, then met and killed Shan Liang who also quickly killed the monster, and then delayed for no reason It took a while to go to the square, otherwise the time would not make sense at all!

But besides Lu Yan, who would deliberately stay and not go to the square?Unless she was involved in the second illusion, but to leave the second illusion, she must kill the monsters in the illusion, so there should be two notches on the back of her hand, or even more!But when she reached the square, there was only one notch.

So the biggest possibility is that Liu Qingqing lied.

"Then...then what do you think the real situation should be like?" Lin Jue asked Song Hanzhang.

"Liu Qingqing died at the beginning of the game. She didn't get the score. After the illusion disappeared, her body was revived by Judas. After the resurrection, Liu Qingqing met Shan Liang. Shan Liang may have guessed it from her score or witnessed it. When she came back to life, it was also possible that Liu Qingqing took the initiative to propose it. In short, the two cooperated. Liu Qingqing, who was already Judas and could not kill Shan Liang, asked Shan Liang to pretend to be killed by her. When she brought someone to see Shan Liang's body, he found the body When it disappeared, it was easy for everyone to draw the conclusion that Shan Liang’s body was revived by Judas. Shan Liang most likely agreed to her, don’t forget that he witnessed the scene of Judas’ resurrection in the last round, Then he killed Judas on the spot, but he stirred up the wind and rain in the team. He was more dedicated than the real Judas. Liu Qingqing believed that he was willing to take the scapegoat to clear her of the suspicion so that she could do things in the team. After all, who are we? They don’t believe in Shan Liang, but at least Gu Fengyi still believes in Liu Qingqing. Later, in order to conceal the fact that she didn’t have a notch, Liu Qingqing delayed for a while, allowing herself to enter the illusion again to defeat the monster, get a notch, and then arrived Clock Square. If Shan Liang hadn’t left a line of blood, she would have gotten away with it. After that, we would only be wary of Shan Liang, who has been hiding behind the scenes, and not doubt Liu Qingqing, who has gotten rid of the suspicion—including me at the beginning. I didn't think so much. It seems that I really have to thank Shan Liang for his bad character who is afraid of chaos in the world." Song Hanzhang said.He also considered another possibility, Liu Qingqing met Shan Liang after killing the monster and left the illusion, was killed by Shan Liang, and then resurrected as Judas in front of Shan Liang, Judas could not directly kill the player, so she had to fight Shan Liang Cooperation, but betrayed.But in this way, the problem of the time difference cannot be explained, so he still prefers that Liu Qingqing die at the beginning, and she was delayed for a little time to get a notch.

"...But since Shan Liang agreed to cooperate with Liu Qingqing, why did he betray her?" Lin Jue asked in puzzlement.

Song Hanzhang glanced at him lightly: "It's strange that Shan Liang doesn't do this. He obviously has a personality disorder. Judging from his behavior, he is extremely keen on deception and betrayal. If there is a chance to torture Judas, how could he Let go."

Lin Jue opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.Now he finally understood why Shan Liang transformed into Liu Qingqing during the ball, and Liu Qingqing gave up her defense in just one sentence.She even has to protect Shanliang, because once Shanliang dies, there is no law of Judas on the earth, so it is tantamount to telling everyone that she is the real Judas.

"Then we have to tell Gu Fengyi quickly." Lin Jue became worried about Gu Fengyi, after all, she has been staying with Liu Qingqing, and the degree of danger is the highest.

"Gu Fengyi should have made a decision. But if Liu Qingqing is Judas, there are still many things I can't figure out..." Song Hanzhang sighed softly, "What is Judas? Since it can inherit the player's skills and part of the memory, Then will it be controlled by the player's emotions instead? I think Judas is very similar to Lilith and the others."

Song Hanzhang remembered that Lilith once said that she was them in the past, they are in the present, and they are in the future.Now he knows that Lilith's body belongs to a player who died in 2002, so "they who used to be" is completely understandable.In the future, it can be understood that after the player dies, they will become part of "Lilith", and she will have their memories and even their bodies.But how should "they now" be understood?Could it be that the "Liliths" are still participating in the game like players?Or are some of them still in the game - like Judas?

"It's a headache. I don't know if other teams will be overwhelmed by Judas' problem like us." Lin Jue patted his head, feeling that it was really messy.

"It's hard to say, because the number of people in this round is relatively small, it is easy to target Judas and eliminate them at the beginning of the game, and it is also possible that some teams have not reduced their numbers so far, so Judas has not appeared at all-from the beginning of the game to their arrival at the square This period of time is the most suitable time to mix into the team, and if it reappears later, it is almost meaningless. But no matter which team it is, there will be many internal problems." Song Hanzhang said.

"The 2002 team seems to have some problems, but the 2022 team...their players are all good, and the relationship is quite harmonious, which is a bit difficult." Lin Jue said with a bitter face.

"So we have to take advantage of this cooperation and kill a few of them first." Song Hanzhang said without changing his face, which startled Lin Jue.But in addition to being surprised, Lin Jue also had a feeling of "as expected".

"Who do you want to kill?" Lin Jue asked.He was a little surprised that he could talk about killing people calmly. It seemed that the first two rounds of the game had completely changed his moral principles, and it was not the first time he had attacked a living person—although there were people who had to do it before. The reason for doing this, but some things, once done, will no longer be a problem the second or third time.

"Give priority to Zuo Linyuan. If there are difficulties, the pair of sisters can also. These three are the core combat power of their team."

"I thought you would think about killing Zhang Sijia first." Lin Jue said, after all, Zhang Sijia seemed to be the one calling the shots in the 2022 team.

"If you want to kill Zhang Sijia, you have to deal with Zuo Linyuan first." Song Hanzhang said.

Lin Jue suddenly laughed and said proudly, "It's like if someone wants to kill you, they have to step on my dead body? It seems that the two of them have a very good relationship."

"Yeah." Song Hanzhang glanced at him suddenly, that look made Lin Jue's heart skip a beat, and he suddenly had a bad premonition, only to hear Song Hanzhang say, "The relationship between the two of them is good, after all, they are friends with benefits."

"...Ah? Ah! What? Cannon, cannon, cannon friend?" Lin Jue seemed to have been hit on the head by someone, and was so shocked that he stuttered. This inexplicable shock was not only caused by Zuo and Zhang. The relationship also comes from--what, the senior actually said the word "friend with benefits"!He actually said the word "friend with a gun"? !

"It's obvious that there is a physical relationship between them. There are too many small gestures during the interaction. Even the best friends will not be so close. But I'm afraid it's not all about the purely physical relationship. At least Zuo Linyuan is alone. On the one hand, I like Zhang Sijia, but Zhang Sijia's attitude towards Zuo Linyuan is a bit subtle, he trusts Zuo Linyuan, but he is secretly resisting something. I have limited contact with them, so I can't tell it for the time being." Song Hanzhang analyzed in a flat tone A pass.

Lin Jue felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he felt inexplicably embarrassed. He reminded himself sadly that when he saw the two of them in the square later, he must not stare at them. Before turning your face, it's better to maintain basic courtesy.
