When Aquaman is the best villain

"I'm not! It's obvious that you are so cruel that you didn't even save your companion's life!" Jiang Rou looked at Lin Qing angrily, shaking with anger all over her body.

"We don't save? When Zhang You died, you, the chief culprit, didn't save him." Lin Qing snorted coldly.

"You! I, I was frightened at the time, I didn't—"

"Okay, okay," Jiang Yue hurried over and took Jiang Rou's arm, "Everyone, stop arguing, Xiaorou is just eager to save people, she thinks relatively simple, and doesn't consider the danger."

Seeing this, Li Yang also said a few words along the way, and finally persuaded Jiang Rou and Lin Qing to come down.Gu Wan'er glanced at Zhang Zhihe who was silent at the side, and said softly to Li Yang, "Brother Li, I think you can ask Senior Zhang, he might know something."

Li Yang followed her gaze. At this moment, Zhang Zhihe seemed to be completely unaffected by their quarrel, and he was only focused on teasing the cat.Li Yang thought about Xiao Xue being rescued by the window before, and he couldn't help thinking about it.

When Zhang Zhihe saw Li Yang approaching, he pulled the little milk cat playing in front of him into his arms.

"Senior Zhang, you are the group of people before we came, you should know more than us, right? If it is convenient, can you reveal what is going on in this world?"

Jiang Rou followed up and said, "Yes, yes, we are all here now, you know you can say everything, let us also feel at ease."

Li Yang smiled awkwardly, "Senior Zhang, we didn't mean to ask you to say it, but after all, we are now on the same boat, and information sharing will at least keep us from holding you back, right?"

Zhang Zhihe smiled, "The rules of this world are very simple, didn't they tell you when you first came in?"

"What rules?"

"It's the introduction to the world that each of you saw when you came in, didn't you read it?"

Everyone looked at each other, and finally remembered the virtual screen.They all came in by clicking the button to enter the game from the real world by accident. At that time, the world introduction...that is, the game introduction, seemed to be talking about an escape game.

What it says above is to rescue the dead princess in the abandoned school and find out the reason for the death of the princess.There are clues everywhere in the school, and only when the players are united can they finally go out.

"The introduction of that world is the same as not being said." Jiang Rou muttered.

At this moment, there was a dull knock on the door.

Jiang Rou let out an "ah" in fright, and hid behind Jiang Yue.Lin Qing glanced at her mockingly, "Didn't you just say you wanted to save someone? Now you're scared again? You go and open the door for him, maybe it's Gu Qiu who you miss so much."

Just after Lin Qing finished speaking, he suddenly thought that Gu Qiu was also Gu Wan'er's elder brother, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

But when he looked at Gu Wan'er, he found that her expression hadn't changed much, she was still smiling gently.

Li Yang glanced at Zhang Zhihe, and couldn't help but seek his advice, "Senior Zhang, do you think we should—"

"Li Yang, open the door, I'm Gu Qiu." The voice outside suddenly became clear.

Everyone in the room was silent.

"I found a clue." Gu Qiu's voice outside said again.

The word "clue" made the faces of the people in the room change slightly. Li Yang thought for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone get your weapons first."

Everyone took up their weapons, except for Zhang Zhihe, who sat at the side with a relaxed expression.

In the end, Li Yang stretched out his hand to open the door. He saw the face of an acquaintance, and said sharply, "Are you really Gu Qiu?"

Sitting in Zhang Zhihe's arms, Jiang Yao raised his head and looked out the door with difficulty, but he could only see a tall and thin figure vaguely.

"I'm."

"how to prove?"

Gu Qiu leaned into Li Yang's ear and said something, Li Yang's expression changed, but he put down his weapon.

After a while, he stepped aside and Gu Qiu walked into the door.Only then did Jiang Yao see Gu Qiu's appearance clearly. He and Gu Wan'er looked somewhat similar, but his appearance was a little more beautiful, with a coldness in his brows and eyes.

Li Yang's words still have some prestige. After he confirmed, everyone also temporarily confirmed Gu Qiu's identity.

Gu Wan'er stepped forward, a little timid and excited, "Brother..."

Gu Qiu looked at Gu Wan'er, pursed his lips, frowned again, and finally hummed.

Jiang Rou pushed Gu Wan'er away, and looked at Gu Qiu with tears in her eyes, "Great! You are fine, so, that one must be fine, right?"

"Zhang You is dead." Gu Qiu said lightly.

"What?!" Jiang Rou couldn't believe it, "But you are obviously fine, how do you know that Zhang You is dead?"

"I saw him dead, and I wanted to tell you guys, but then I suddenly met...a ghost, and then I lost track of you."

"How is it possible? Your body and Zhang You's body are together!"

Gu Qiu glanced at Lin Qing, and said calmly, "Maybe a ghost did it on purpose."

Li Yang pulled away Jiang Rou, who was in a trance, and asked anxiously, "You just said that you found a clue, is that true?"

"Well," Gu Qiu glanced at everyone in the room, and his eyes stayed on Zhang Zhihe, "Who is he?"

"This is when we met Senior Zhang on the road. He said he was from the previous group, that is, the group before us."

"The previous batch?" Gu Qiu frowned, "Shouldn't the previous batch have died?"

The crowd fell silent.

In fact, everyone has this question in their hearts, but because Zhang Zhihe's identity is a mystery and his strength is powerful, no one dares to raise it openly.

Now, with the help of Gu Qiu, who has always been a bit of a loner, to mention it, everyone is relieved.

Although Gu Qiu has a younger sister, Gu Wan'er, in this team, the two of them seem to be half-brothers, and their relationship is not very good.Usually Gu Wan'er even gets closer to Lin Qing and Li Yang, but Gu Qiu usually looks for clues by himself.

Facing Gu Qiu's question, Zhang Zhihe said calmly, "If you read all the game introductions carefully before entering the game, you should know that there is a punisher in the game, who is dedicated to maintaining the order of the game."

With Gu Qiu's cautiousness, he did read all the introductions, "Indeed, but aren't you from the previous batch? The sanctioners should always be in this game."

"Oh, I lied to you before." Zhang Zhihe shrugged.

Jiang Yue looked at him and couldn't help but said, "Then how do we know you're not lying to us now?"

"Yes," Zhang Zhihe smiled faintly, "So it's up to you, believe it or not."

Everyone couldn't help being a little angry, but Zhang Zhihe didn't care. He just glanced at Gu Qiu lightly, with a meaningful smile on his lips. If you kill him, he won't die."

Hearing this, Gu Qiu's pupils shrank, and he looked at Zhang Zhihe with scrutiny, but less suspicion.

Lin Qing on the side took a step back, and looked at Zhang Zhihe with a little fear.

Zhang Zhihe's identity was temporarily put aside, and Gu Qiu took out the clue he found, which was a piece of kraft paper with a poem written in pen and ink on it.

"Seven stars on still waters—

And seven more in the sky—

The seven deadly sins upon the princess—

Hidden deep in the soul.

......"

After everyone finished reading this poem, they still felt a little confused.

Jiang Rou frowned, "What does this have to do with the princess' death?"

Xiao Xue noticed the numbers inside, "Did you see that it said seven? Seven stars, seven deadly sins."

"Is seven a key number?"

Li Yang suddenly took out the distribution map of the classrooms, pointed to one of the classrooms, and asked everyone to come and see, "Look, did we see the corpses of Zhang You and Gu Qiu in this classroom?"

Everyone pondered for a while, then nodded, "It seems to be this classroom, that's right."

"This classroom is 107."

"Ah," Jiang Yue suddenly remembered something, "When you entered this classroom, did you look at the house number of this classroom?"

Li Yang, Lin Qing and others shook their heads, but Gu Qiu said in a deep voice, "I saw it, it's 207."

According to the game introduction and this poem, 7 must be a very special number.On the first floor, they died in 107, and on the second floor, they walked into 207 just by chance...

When everyone was silent, Zhang Zhihe suddenly chuckled, "Are you scared now? Only one person died."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lin Qing suddenly became emotional, "You don't even know your identity, and you are still talking nonsense here! You can't believe what you say, maybe you are a ghost pretending to be an adult to deceive us ! Didn’t you lead us to this classroom?”

Zhang Zhihe looked at Lin Qing and remained silent for a while.Jiang Yao in his arms looked up, only to see that Zhang Zhihe's dark eyes seemed to be starting to show a dark red color, he "meowed", and lightly bit Zhang Zhihe's finger again.

Zhang Zhihe felt it, lowered his head and touched the little milk cat's head, his eyes returned to pitch black, and his expression was calm, "I said it earlier, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not. But you are so excited, as if you have done something wrong." It's like I saw it."

"Don't spout blood!" Lin Qing's face changed, and he stepped forward to fight Zhang Zhihe.

Li Yang made a gesture to stop him, but he didn't stop him without paying attention.Lin Qing rushed forward in an instant, and was about to hit Zhang Zhihe with a punch, but was dodged.Anger and fear were mixed together in his heart, and all of a sudden he reached out his hand to grab the tail of the little milk cat in Zhang Zhihe's arms.

Zhang Zhihe, who had been calm just now, had sharp eyes and kicked him to the ground.Before Li Yang could utter his words of intercession, he heard a scream, and a cold light flashed. The fruit knife that had saved Xiao Xue's life was inserted into Lin Qing's palm, nailing him to the classroom floor.

"Ahh! My hand!" Lin Qing's face was distorted in pain.

Zhang Zhihe laughed lowly, his eyes were cold, "Your hand should have been useless long ago."

After this incident, no one raised any opinions on Zhang Zhihe. Gu Wan'er found gauze and alcohol from the bag and helped Lin Qing treat the wound.

Only Gu Qiu walked to Zhang Zhihe's side and talked with him in a low voice.

"Are you really the sanctioner?"

Zhang Zhihe glanced at him lightly, "Believe it or not."

"Then if I find out the real ghost, will you punish it? Or are you just a bystander and won't care about our lives?"

"What do you think?" Zhang Zhihe raised his eyebrows with interest.

Gu Qiu—the hero of this world, finally has some brains.

"In this game, 7 is indeed a very special number. Everyone pays attention to the classroom number, but they ignore a fact. Now there are seven people in this classroom except you, the sanctioner, but in In the beginning, whether Zhang died or not, there were eight people. The seven deadly sins may correspond to the death number seven, so there should be seven deaths in each group."

"Every batch of people who entered the game came to the next batch after they died, which means that each group should have seven people. So... who is the extra person in our group?"

After Zhang Zhihe listened to Gu Qiu's analysis, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he slowly stroked the little milk cat's hair with his hands, and said slowly, "Yes, who is the extra person?"

The author has something to say: The poem comes from Wilde's anthology "The Princess' Sorrow".
