Chosen Prophet [Unlimited]

After taking the senior high school entrance examination, the three academic masters with good grades were eager to know how many points they scored, so they decided to play the four-corner game to recruit ghosts.Because the rumors say that the ghosts recruited by this game have the ability to predict, and it can answer people's doubts.

The three successfully recruited the ghost through this game, but the ghost killed one of them named Xiaoshuang.

After killing the people, the ghost didn't leave immediately, but actually played games with them for a while.

Until the light came on, everyone found that Xiao Shuang was dead, and the ghost was nowhere to be found.

This is Duan Yi's summary of this matter on the way back to the No. 2 carriage.

While walking, he said again: "One very strange thing is that there are four people who have been sleeping on one side of the house. I have no chance to see their faces for the time being.

"I'm cooperating with the plot this time, so I didn't do anything to disrupt the progress of the plot. Next time someone goes in, you can try not to play the four-corner game with them, but directly look for clues, or with the four people who are sleeping Let’s talk, otherwise time is too tight and we may not have time to explore.”

After Duan Yi finished telling the story, Dongfang Yu, who had been listening quietly for a long time, took the lead to ask questions.

She pursed her lips and asked, "From the perspective of atheism and ghostism, I think this may be a detective game. If things happened in reality, it is undoubtedly very simple.

"One of the four people sleeping on the left side was the murderer. He slipped in while you were playing four corners, took a knife and killed someone, then went back to the bed while you were turning on the lights, pretending Sleeping all the time and never getting up."

Duan Yidao: "When I first started playing the Four Corners game, I had such a brain hole. In fact, Xiao Shuang's death can also prove this brain hole from the side. Xiao Shuang was assassinated by a dagger, which is more like a human being. What they did, not some demons, they don't need to use daggers to kill people."

Four people were playing a four-corner game, and the murderer sneaked in and played the game with everyone.

With five people playing this game, no slot will be vacant, and of course no one will hear a cough.

The person who died was Xiao Shuang, so this person probably appeared in front of Duan Yi.

The person in front of Duan Yi was originally Xiao Shuang, but this person jumped in, and the shoulder Duan Yi patted afterward was no longer Xiao Shuang's, but the murderer's.And the person who patted Xiaoshuang's shoulder was no longer Duan Yi, but the murderer.

It was also because of this that Xiao Shuang was stabbed in the back—the murderer walked up behind her, but instead of patting her shoulder when he should have patted her shoulder, he covered her mouth with one hand to prevent her from screaming, while Stab a knife through her back and drag her to an empty space in the middle of the game.

In the end, the murderer returned to the corner, pretended nothing happened, and played games with everyone.

One little pair died, and there were only four gamers left, so everyone heard coughing again later.

During the whole process, the murderer's line of action was very clear. Duan Yi narrated it again, and said: "Theoretically speaking, the process of the story should be like this. But there are many doubts in it.

"First, when playing games, the surrounding area is very quiet. If the person sleeping on the other side of the bed really got out of bed and took a knife to kill someone, I can definitely hear it.

"The game venue is very small, and it is a space built with cardboard shells on all sides. There are doors made of cardboard shells in the space. If the murderer wants to come in and participate in the game, he either pushes the cardboard door and walks in, or jumps in directly. If he pushes the door , there must be a sound, because the cardboard material is easy to make a sound. In addition, the wall made of cardboard is half the height of a person, if he jumped in directly, he must have a run-up, so he will also make a sound."

"In the dark, how can the murderer see everything clearly and avoid all obstacles, not to mention this, how can he quietly enter the relatively small game space without anyone noticing?"

After a pause, Duan Yi said again: "Secondly, as I said, I was playing games with three students who had just finished their senior high school entrance examination. Xiao Shuang in front of me was a girl, and she was very short. I almost I had to bend down to pat her on the shoulder. I can be sure that the height of the person in front of me has never changed.

"If the murderer can disguise himself as Xiao Shuang in front of me, are they the same height? Besides, he must have a pair of ponytails so that I can't be noticed. Because I sometimes accidentally touch Xiao Shuang's ponytail.

"The third, and the last doubtful point I have found so far - what is the murderer's motive. If this is a simple murder case that has nothing to do with ghosts, then there must be a motive. A few middle school students were playing a game of tricking ghosts, and the murderer got involved Killing, and then getting out. This is not like killing with passion, but premeditated. But what is the murderer's purpose in killing a student in this way?

"Did he choose a student at random, or did he kill Xiao Shuang on purpose? If he did it on purpose, how did he recognize Xiao Shuang all of a sudden under such dark circumstances?"

The questions and doubts Duan Yi raised at this moment were also what he had been thinking about since he found Xiao Shuang's body.He also thought it was a murder at first.But these doubts made him doubt it.

After hearing what he said, Peng Cheng was shocked and said, "So... are there really ghosts this time?"

Bai Sinian glanced at him with a half-smile: "Actually, I think we are all ghosts. The system has already said that we joined this game after death."

Peng Cheng swallowed, and said with difficulty: "That... that's different. We ourselves are ghosts, which are different from the ghosts in the dungeon and the ghosts in the ghost movie. That's not a concept. We don't scare people But that kind of ghost... that sense of unknown is terrifying! Fuck, who will go in next time? This is not like the first level just now, where many people can go in together. If you can only go in one by one this time... ... how scary?!"

Duan Yi didn't bother to answer Peng Cheng's words, but frowned and looked around the No. 2 compartment again, with a more anxious tone: "Tomorrow and No. 10, they haven't come out yet?"

"No." Peng Cheng scratched his head.

Just now Duan Yi came out of Room 3-2, and he felt strange that he didn't see tomorrow.

Going back to the No. 2 compartment at this moment, tomorrow and No. 10 will not be there, which can only mean that the two of them have not come out yet.

This time the plot was relatively long, and Duan Yi went in for almost an hour.

——What are those two people talking about for so long?

It is easy to know rationally, it is impossible to be cheated tomorrow.

But emotionally, he thinks his little Tian is too beautiful, what if someone thinks about him?

Duan Yi couldn't hold back any longer, and ran directly towards the No. 1 carriage.

This was terrible, when Duan Yi walked to the door of Room 10, Duan Yi heard the sound of fighting coming from inside.

Judging from the movement, the fighting sound was not small, and it is estimated that the two people fought quite fiercely.

Duan Yi frowned, stepped forward and knocked on the door a few times, and when no one opened, he began to kick and slam the door, trying to force his way in.

But forcibly entering the player's residence is obviously a violation.

When Duan Yi kicked down again, the toes suddenly became transparent.

Seeing this, behind him, Yun Hao and Bai Sinian hurried over and pulled him back.

Peng Cheng also ran forward without hesitation, sticking his whole body to the door, in order to prevent Duan Yi from approaching the door again. "Brother Duan, calm down! Don't break the door forcibly! Unless you step over my corpse!"

Duan Yi clenched his fists with both hands, restricted by the rules, but he did not act anymore.

But he was really worried.

Logically speaking, based on his understanding of tomorrow, if tomorrow he feels that someone has a problem, then he will use tricks to solve the problem quietly.How could he fight with people?What the hell did that person do?

Duan Yi let out a breath, and after signaling to Yun Hao and Bai Sinian that he was fine, he took a step forward and patted Peng Cheng on the shoulder. "It's okay, I just knocked on the door."

Peng Cheng, Yun Hao and the others looked at each other and had to get out of the way.

So Duan Yi immediately stepped forward to knock on the door, knocking very hard, and at the same time asked: "Xiao Tian, ​​are you there? Are you okay? Just promise me!"

After a while, the sound of fighting in the room stopped.

The door opened, and Duan Yi saw that it was tomorrow who opened the door.

As soon as he grabbed his hand, he carefully checked his face, neck, hands and other parts, Duan Yi found that he was not injured, so he was temporarily relieved.Then he stepped into the room and looked at number 10.

Duan Yiben walked over with an attitude of questioning and extreme anger, but after seeing the appearance of No. 10, he was a little surprised — No. 10 was seriously injured.

His face was pale, and he looked like he had lost too much blood.

As for him, there were many wounds drawn by knives.

At the moment, he is bandaging hastily, with no expression on his face, and he doesn't seem to feel any pain.

Staring at him, Duan Yi looked around the whole room again, and found that the bed was cut into pieces, the furniture was almost destroyed, and the ground was a mess.

This situation made it difficult for Duan Yi to question him.

However, with the mentality that the little genius will not take the initiative to do this kind of destruction, and it must be No. 10's fault, Duan Yi still stabilized. After glancing at No. 10 sternly, he pulled tomorrow aside and asked in a low voice. : "Did you cut him? What's going on?"

Tomorrow, he shook his head: "It's not me."

"Not you? What does this mean?" Duan Yi couldn't understand for a moment.

Tomorrow, I took a look at the players who were watching curiously in the corridor outside the door of Room 10, and said to Duan Yi, "Go to your room. Let's talk about it alone."

After a while, Duan Yi took Ming Ming back to his room, and only then did he know what happened.

During his absence, player No. 10 took the initiative to find tomorrow and said he wanted to talk to him.

His behavior undoubtedly surprised tomorrow.

But tomorrow is doubtful about his identity.

In order to confirm the speculation in my heart, I agreed to him tomorrow.

After going to Room 10, he asked bluntly tomorrow: "You are not the person I thought, are you?"

Number 10 smiled, strode to the sofa and sat down, putting his hands on his knees casually. "Why don't you tell me, who do you think I am?"

"A few days ago, I went to a rally with the people here, and I saw you from a distance. In terms of temperament, you are very similar. You sent people to this game before, and I have seen them too. Why, change this time Did you come by yourself?"

The "a few days ago" mentioned tomorrow is naturally the seven days when Duan Yi and the others were in the rest area, and he returned to the Seven Palaces of the King of the King of Taishan Prefecture, and followed Mingyue to handle other work for the seven days.

As for the "they" in his mouth, he was referring to Yang Ye and Gu Liang.

This person previously sent Yang and Gu to sneak into the game to do a secret investigation, but this time, with such a high position as him, he actually came in himself.

Tomorrow also felt a little surprised by this incident.

"Of course what you see now is not my real body." No. 10 only said this, without talking about his own origin, and then he looked towards tomorrow meaningfully, "You and your brother at first glance, temperament It seems to be very similar to the appearance, but it is not the same when you look closely. Your personalities are very different."

Sit across from him tomorrow, and look at him calmly: "What do you want to ask?"

No. 10's eyebrows suddenly became extremely majestic, as if a Bodhisattva suddenly became a Shura. "How much do you know about what he did?"

"I thought you had reached a cooperation." Tomorrow slightly frowned.

Number 10 looked extremely serious. "Yes. But I'm worried about him. I'll have to watch it myself."

Ming Ming said: "But I'm afraid he will think that you will participate rashly, which will destroy his plan."

Number 10 laughed. "Unless he has other plans of his own. Why should he worry? That's exactly what I'm going to ask you. I can promise you that this whole thing was a mistake and it can all be done again. name in the book of life and death.

"But if you help him do other things that I can't control, such as making a huge mistake, or even creating a catastrophe. Then you should know that you will also be judged as a sinner. At that time, you think Can you go back? Do you also want to end up in the fate of being imprisoned forever?"

After being silent for a while, Mingming said: "I really don't know him. But I just want to remind you of one thing. In fact, the key word in the design he added to this game is 'trust'. Now you have chosen to cooperate with him, but Don’t believe him? Think carefully about what he did, in fact, you can trust him this time.”

·

At this moment, tomorrow said to Duan Yi: "I don't know what happened next. Because he logged me out and he came in by himself."

It is inconvenient to say the name in the system, but the "he" mentioned at this moment tomorrow and the "he" mentioned in the conversation between him and No. 10 undoubtedly refer to Mingyue.

"So the identity of No. 10 is..." Thinking of the identity of that person, Duan Yi was also a little surprised, "He used to be No. 10's subordinate, but later he became the subordinate of the person who was equal to No. 10. His behavior It’s a bit like a betrayal, or betrayal of No. 10. He betrayed his former boss, but now he has reached a cooperation with him secretly. But No. 10 has doubts about his purpose?”

"Yes." Ming Ming said, "Brother Xiao Yi, what do you think of him? Do you think he has some other purpose?"

Duan Yi thought for a while: "I can only choose to believe, believe in the news from my brother and brother-in-law, and believe in our own abilities. We can't control what he is going to do in our state. But at least we can control it." Control what we want to do.

"You saw him in Taohuayuan, and I saw him at the end of the last dungeon. If he really only helped someone, I don't think he needs you to reset the time and bring me back."

The "so who" Duan Yi said naturally refers to the Lord of the Seven Palaces of Mount Tai.

Lord Taishan asked Mingyue to take over the game and let him stimulate the player's mental power to the greatest extent, so Mingyue added the element of werewolf killing in the game, so that the players were in the opposite camp.In this way, in addition to expending energy to crack the dungeon level, players also have to play games with each other, so as to release the greatest mental power.

As for the real purpose of Lord Taishan, it is to absorb the spiritual power of the players.The last thing this will hurt is the souls of all players.

So there is no real winner in this game.The only beneficiary is Taishan Fujun.

The further the game goes, the more cooperation is required, rather than players killing each other.

In this case, someone like Duan Yi will stand out from all the players.

Because he has always insisted on win-win cooperation.With his intelligence, physical fitness, psychological quality, etc., he can be said to be the best candidate to achieve this.

Now he is also successfully approaching this goal-he has gained the trust of most players.Now everyone is cooperating to clear the level, instead of internal friction through the hole cards issued by the werewolf killing game.

Duan Yi and Tomorrow were in the game before, and they didn't expect this level.

But now that they have jumped out, they can undoubtedly discover that there is actually something mysterious about what Mingyue did.

In fact, the big progress of the game cannot be easily reset.

Because the Seven Palaces are deceiving as a whole, they will pass on the data, indicating that they are indeed screening people who should not have died in the disaster, and that they are still investigating what happened to those accidental disasters.

In this way, the Seventh Palace will regularly pass the death list to the book of life and death, which is equivalent to announcing it to all departments of the entire hell, so as to prove that their game is fair and just, and there are no other secrets behind the scenes.

But Mingyue is willing to give tomorrow an hourglass called "borrowing" to let him go back to the past in the game and finally reset the time. The list passed in the book is temporarily detained, and then a new one will be written according to the results of resetting the game tomorrow.

Mingyue needs to give a perfect reason in order to convince Lord Qidian Taishan and not cause him to doubt herself.

It is impossible to do this for tomorrow based on the so-called brotherhood.Because there is no brotherhood between the two of them at all.

Then his move obviously has other intentions.

——He also needs Duan Yi to come back.

Duan Yi has never been a person who underestimates himself.

In fact, after talking with Mingyue in the room in the courtyard of "Skull Wall", Duan Yi has been thinking about one thing during the few days in the rest area-whether Mingyue has already passed her in the first round of the game? Through various performances, he has seen who he is. He thinks he has the potential to make everyone cooperate?

Based on this, he chose to let himself be reborn in the game and return to the game.

What Lord Taishan wants is to let everyone kill each other, because he needs to absorb spiritual power.

On the surface, Mingyue helped Lord Taishan, but secretly, he acquiesced in resurrecting Duan Yi tomorrow, and even contributed in secret... Was his purpose, instead, to use Duan Yi's hand to let all players reach a cooperation?

In other words, what Mingyue did secretly was actually completely contrary to the request of Lord Taishan.

Based on this idea and the words of Gu Liang and Yang Ye, Duan Yi can only choose to believe in Mingyue.What's more, no matter what, he has to continue the strategy of win-win cooperation according to his own ideas.

Tomorrow's thoughts are obviously the same as Duan Yi's.

Facing Duan Yi, he nodded: "Well. I think the same as you. That No. 10 and him... are mostly personal grievances. Let's ignore it for now."

"Yes. Let's think about this dungeon." Duan Yi shook his head, "I've seen him, number 10, I've seen him too, and knowing his identity... I really can't imagine that they can fight?"

He didn't answer this question tomorrow, he just watched Duan Yi quietly for a long time, and suddenly asked: "You knocked on the door in a hurry just now. Are you worried about me?"

"Huh? Cough..." Duan Yi blinked, and squeezed tomorrow's hand heavily, "Nonsense. Who told you to leave with a man of unknown origin? You didn't even say hello, and you went there for so long. You know have no idea--"

Before he finished speaking, Duan Yi suddenly saw tomorrow and smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Duan Yi asked him.

Ming Ming said: "Brother Xiao Yi is jealous, of course I am happy."

"Eat...jealous? Who is jealous?!" Duan Yi boldly denied, "Do you think anyone is jealous just like you?"

Tomorrow will not speak, just looked at Duan Yi and blinked.

The faint tear mole at the corner of his left eye seemed to be dyed with light, as if it could speak, as if silently expressing some kind of grievance to Duan Yi.

After a while, Duan Yi said with a dry voice: "Okay, okay. Forget it... I'm jealous. Those little eyes are really..."

Laughed again tomorrow.

He raised his hand to brush Duan Yi's short hair, looked at him tenderly for a moment, and then turned serious again: "Okay, tell me, what happened in Room 3-2 this time? Also, Room 3-1 was completed earlier. After the mission, the train arrived at a platform, and I have some ideas about that platform number, so I have to tell you about it."

After a while, the two finished their discussion, walked out of Room 1 in the No. 7 compartment, and returned to the No. 2 compartment.

Duan Yi glanced at the time, and it was almost 10 o'clock to draw the ID card.

And he found that Bai Lihui and Xu Ruofan hadn't handed over the tablet yet.

If the two of them didn't hand in the tablet when 10 o'clock came, Duan Yi had to put both of them in prison out of safety considerations.

Duan Yi hasn't had a good communication with these two people since they broke up last time.

He was thinking about talking to these two people to see what their attitude towards him was, when at this moment, there was another ticking sound from the dashboard.

This time it was Wu Junlan who stepped forward and pressed the button.

Wu Junlan pressed the red button, and a familiar girl's voice came from the loudspeaker. "I heard that the four-corner game can attract ghosts. Come and have a try with us, okay?"

The girl's words did not change from last time.

But her next sentence was different.

After thinking about it a few times, you will find that her words inevitably have a taste of careful thinking and fear.

Because what she said was: "We are short of two people. You have to come two people! Thank you!"

In the first round of the game, the participants were Xiao Duan, Xiao Shuang, and Xiao Ping.They are short of one person, so Duan Yi joins.

In the second round of the game, two players were missing.

——Is it because Xiao Shuang died?
