Bailian's stand-in has collapsed [Transmigration Book]

In an abandoned village.

Holding the broken bowl in one hand, the old man walked tremblingly towards the house. His grandson Xiaoyu stood at the door, looking inside, then looking at grandpa, his eyes lit up after a while, shouted out.

"Grandpa,? That big brother is awake!"

Then came Ye Linyun's reminder: "Keep your voice down!"

The old man quickened his pace and entered the room, and saw Ye Linyun sitting on the stool beside the bed. The young man on the bed had just sat up, vigilance still lingering at a loss.

"We are not bad people." The old man handed the bowl to Ye Linyun, and explained, "We just saw you lying at the entrance of the village covered in blood, so we brought you back."

The young man is wearing a white shirt, but it is covered with stains and has several holes. You can’t see the original appearance at all. The blood red belly is very eye-catching. You can see the corners of the bandage under the clothes when you lift it up a little .

It looked like it was injured.

Ye Linyun handed the bowl to him.

The young man turned his head stiffly, and was a little surprised when he saw Ye Linyun. It took him a while to admit it: "...Second, Second Young Master?"

"Yeah." Ye Linyun, who was also disheveled, nodded in a muffled voice, and then asked, "Why are you here? I remember you weren't the one in my brother's lab...what's that one called?"

"My surname is Tan." The young man hurriedly replied, "We met last time in the mall."

"Oh yes, Xiao Tan." Ye Linyun responded perfunctorily, and asked again, "Then why didn't you go to work and came here?"

Xiao Tan took the bowl and was drinking water. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, looked up at Ye Linyun for a long time, and then tentatively asked, "You, you...don't you know what's going on?"

His line of sight expanded to the other young and old.

The old man misunderstood what he meant, and took the initiative to take back the half-drunk bowl, and then stood aside waiting for Xiao Tan to explain.

Xiao Tan was stared at by three pairs of eyes, and scratched his chin in embarrassment: "Uh, no one told you? The second young master didn't pick up the manual or something?"

Ye Linyun was already a little impatient: "Stop being secretive, talk about things if you have something to say, and stop talking nonsense."

Xiao Tan shrank his neck, didn't hesitate any more, and stammered what happened.

Two days ago, on his way home from get off work, he was hit by a sap from behind, and when he woke up again, he was in a strange deep mountain and old forest.

Different from the bewilderment of the old and young people here, Xiao Tan soon met an insider and was told that someone was playing a prank and tied them up to play an escape game, and the first person to find the exit would be rewarded.

Xiao Tan didn't think much about it, and at the other party's invitation, he agreed to form a team with the other party to find the exit together.

But after two days in the mountains, they lost their way and faced the dilemma of lack of food.

Xiao Tan accidentally revealed that he was carrying compressed biscuits in his backpack, and his teammates became ill-intentioned, and attacked him at night when he was off guard.

The teammate originally wanted to kill Xiao Tan, but the man was inexperienced and it was dark, so he missed Xiao Tan's vitals, so he ran away quickly after grabbing food.

Xiao Tan didn't dare to move. He waited until the other party had gone far away and it was almost dawn before he treated the wound briefly and ran out in the opposite direction.

As a result, the wound was too painful, he was tired and hungry, he was dizzy from running, and finally couldn't bear it, he fell to the ground and passed out.

When he woke up again, he saw Ye Linyun.

After hearing this story, Ye Linyun's first reaction was suspicion: "Are those people mentally ill?!"

Both Xiao Tan and Xiao Yu were startled by his sudden loud voice.

Ye Linyun didn't pay attention to controlling his anger, and now his mental state was close to the limit, and suddenly he knew that his long-term fear was just a "game" of the mastermind behind the scenes, and his lungs were about to explode.

If the people behind the scenes were standing in front of him, he would have directly smashed the stool up at this time.

But everyone else is a victim.

Ye Linyun stood up and spun around several times, the anger in his heart had nowhere to vent, instead it accumulated more and more.

"Snapped--"

He slapped the table hard, and let out a bit of aggrieved after a loud noise.

"Game? This group of psychopaths are out of their minds? They dare to tie anyone up, do they not know who I am? Or are they just impatient? When I get out of this shitty place, I will definitely make those psychopaths look good!"

"But," Xiao Tan showed a worried expression, "I don't know where this place is. All the electronic devices on me have been taken away, even my watch is gone."

He pointed to a white mark on his wrist: "There is no way to contact the outside world at all, and there is no way to ask for help. Instead, it is easy to attract those desperate people with evil intentions..."

Ye Linyun also fell silent.

Looking at his expression, Xiao Tan understood: "The things on the second young master have also been taken away?"

Ye Linyun let out a "hmm".

There was even an extra corpse beside him.

Ye Linyun fell into a sleepy state of thinking.

He had been haunted by He Lianhua's corpse for a long time before, and he knew that he absolutely did not have the will or courage to kill someone subjectively. He thought that only he and the grandpa and grandson were there, and he was worried about some conspiracy.

Looking at it now, it is clear that someone's evil intentions are playing tricks behind the scenes.

This possibility let him secretly heave a sigh of relief, the most sad hurdle in his heart was barely passed.

It's just that the current situation is more complicated.

Neither the old man nor the children dared to speak, and they all stared at Ye Linyun anxiously.

Ye Linyun seemed to be the one who could make up his mind the most, even Xiao Tan couldn't help but look at Ye Linyun, waiting for him to speak.

Ye Linyun looked around outside the house.

It was getting dark outside, and it was very dangerous to wander outside after nightfall, so he didn't think about it at night.

Ye Linyun took one last look at the wound on Xiao Tan's abdomen, frowned, and said, "You rest first, and I will sleep on this bed for you. Get up tomorrow morning and find a way to send a distress signal."

Xiao Tan's expression moved slightly, showing a little surprise: "Is there a way for the second young master to contact his family?"

Ye Linyun was very confident: "I'm such an adult and I'm missing, how could they not come looking for me?"

Xiao Tan was stunned: "But now we..."

Ye Linyun interrupted him: "Don't worry about it. Why do you think so much? If I say yes, I can do it. If I can't do it, can you?"

Still the young master with a bad temper, Xiao Tan shut his mouth and dared not answer.

Seeing his timid look, Ye Linyun was inexplicably upset, but the other party was injured, so he swallowed the extra words, got up and walked out in a hurry.

"I'm going to get something to eat."

The old man and Xiao Yu watched his heart carefully and did not dare to interrupt. After Ye Linyun left in a hurry, they smiled shyly at Xiao Tan and stammered some explanations.

"He, he has that temper, but he is a good man. We still have some rice in the kitchen. We will cook some porridge for you later."

Xiao Tan nodded and said "Thank you" in a good temper.

The old man smiled at him again: "Then, then you have a good rest, we are next door."

With that said, he patted his grandson on the back and led him towards the kitchen.

Young Master Ye has never been in the sun since he was a child, and he may not be able to operate his high-tech kitchen, let alone the primitive stove. on the heads of people.

It is still up to the elderly to cook the fire.

When the old man walked outside the door, he subconsciously glanced back.

Through the window, you can still see Xiao Tan's side face. He didn't lie back on the hard bed, but sat there in a daze. Perhaps it was affected by the angle of the light. A little cold.

The old man froze for a moment, and quickly looked away.

Sure enough, Ye Linyun didn't even enter the kitchen door, but just squatted on the steps outside, staring at Yunxia in the distance in a daze.

When the old man approached, he came back to his senses, took a step forward, and made room for him to enter the kitchen.

The kitchen is complete with firewood and rice. On the stove are wild vegetables that the old man and his grandson picked outside, and water is dripping down. The old man puts the broken bowl of water on the stove and goes to get the firewood first.

Ye Linyun stood at the door and watched for a while, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Leave half of the firewood, I will use it tomorrow."

The old man looked up at him and nodded without raising any objection or asking why.

Ye Linyun didn't feel any more relaxed because of this, he turned his eyes to the distance again, and the restlessness and uneasiness in his heart could not be really relieved no matter what.

Curls of smoke gradually rose from the chimney above the kitchen, Ye Linyun's eyes moved there at some point, and he didn't look back until the smoke faded away.

The old man filled the cooked porridge, and the bowls and chopsticks were limited, so he ate them in batches.

Ye Linyun still remembered that there was still a wounded person in the room this time, so he took the initiative to say, "Give the tip to Xiao Tan."

The old man nodded.

Xiao Tan was much more polite and gentle. After several rejections with the old man, he still couldn't resist the old man's enthusiasm. When the old man came back with an empty bowl, he saw Ye Linyun and Xiao Yu sitting side by side on the steps.

Ye Linyun was holding a bowl in his hand, but it was placed in front of Xiaoyu.

The old man stopped not far away, Ye Linyun misunderstood him, and couldn't help frowning: "Am I going to grab food with a child? It's just that the bowl is too hot, how can the child handle it?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a grunt in his stomach.

The old man couldn't help laughing, Ye Linyun blushed and turned away, so he didn't notice the old man's increasingly worried expression.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of the main house, then at Ye Linyun, hesitant to speak.

"That young master..." Seeing the young men with thin skin and tender flesh, the old man simply called the young master in unison, but he couldn't continue speaking.

Ye Linyun frowned and asked, "What happened to him?"

But the old man swallowed back the words, just shook his head and said nothing.

Since he was someone Young Master Ye knew, he shouldn't be a bad person.

he thought.

Police station.

Lin Jianqiu, Ye Huaishuang, Police Officer Gao, and Xue Che were sitting in an empty meeting room. In front of the first three were piles of envelopes and scattered documents, and each of them was in charge of flipping through a pile. sit in front of the computer.

After about a quarter of an hour, a stack of fingernail-thick documents and letters was taken out and put aside.

"August 25th, August 29th, August 31th, August [-]st, September [-]rd—this is the last one."

Xue Che raised his head from the computer to join in the fun: "What's going on these days?"

Lin Jianqiu's tone was calm and scary: "All letters from readers contain self-made postcards, and they are related to the location of the missing person—except for August [-]th, but the photo on that postcard was taken near Tong Shuimiao."

However, he had not read these letters before.

Because these letters are nominally letters from readers, and all of them were sent to magazines or publishing houses. In addition to postcards, there are even at least one post-reading reflections mixed in the envelopes.

Both the magazine and the publishing house clear the letters once a month, and they will be packaged and delivered to the author after one month.

Lin Jianqiu is always busy, and only when he is bored, he will open the letters one by one to take a look. Unfortunately, there are so many emergencies this summer that he doesn't even have enough time to rest, let alone go to the office. Read letters from readers.

until now.

Lin Jianqiu's name was clearly written on those envelopes—they were sent to him by name.

It doesn't take any complicated reasoning to guess that these disappearances have something to do with Lin Jianqiu, maybe they are aimed at him.

Xue Che looked at the letter, and then at Lin Jianqiu's face: "But how did you guess it was related to you?"

Before Lin Jianqiu called the editor to send a letter, he was almost certain that he had something to do with this case.

These letters are only the last corroboration.

Xue Che guessed casually: "It's because of your intuition again?"

Officer Gao couldn't help looking up at Lin Jianqiu when he was sorting another stack of materials, he was also a little curious.

"And Nannan and Lu Wanfeng, how did you guess they would be targeted?"

Only Ye Huaishuang guessed the reason: "It must be because of Linyun."

Lin Jianqiu let out a "huh".

"The excitement is too obvious. Do you still remember the marketing news that He Lianhua and Qi Yueze were beaten by Ye Linyun? I found that the new media companies in the whole building had been anonymously posted the same content. And not long after we left, they released the news of Tong Shuimiao's death, and all of them had number plates."

Xue Che heard the meaning, touched his arm subconsciously, feeling a little disgusted: "You don't mean to say...the people behind the scenes deliberately lured you to watch that person get killed."

Lin Jianqiu corrected him: "It's to attract attention."

Xue Che raised his eyebrows: "Caught your attention? How did he know that you would definitely pay attention to this—"

Before he finished speaking, his face changed and he reacted.

Of course, Lin Jianqiu will definitely notice this, because Ye Linyun is missing.

What is the relationship between Ye Linyun and Lin Jianqiu?

Not to mention the subtle relationship between the predecessor, but the current Ye Huaishuang and Ye Linyun are brothers, it is impossible for the Ye family to leave Ye Linyun alone. This matter is inextricably linked to Lin Jianqiu, and it cannot be avoided no matter what.

"Unless he was really unlucky enough to be robbed by unrelated robbers, there was no reason for him to disappear." Lin Jianqiu added.

Young Master Ye Er has been confined at home recently, no matter in which aspect he is more than inferior than inferior, even if there is someone who wants to take revenge on the society, it is not his turn.

It can only be related to the people around you.

Based on all the clues, Lin Jianqiu is the most likely one.

"It's more than that." Officer Gao asked, "What's the matter with the number plate?"

"No. 13 people." Lin Jianqiu leaned back in the chair a little tiredly, his voice was very soft.

"What do you mean?"

"Literally, he is the No.13 person in the 'game', and he is also the first one—it can be understood as a signal for the game to start."

Officer Gao was investigating the information before, and he just came back to join, so Lin Jianqiu had to explain it to him again.

"A total of twelve people were tricked to the isolated island. The Voice from Beyond the Sky announced the rules of the game. Every three days, a murder case will occur on the island. Those who investigate the real murderer and the method used to commit the crime will enter the safe zone in the next round. If there are no new corpses, the rules of the game will randomly select one of the people outside the safety zone to kill in this round, and repeat this until there is only one person left. He will inherit a huge treasure as the winner and be safe Send it back."

"By the way, the safe zone just means that it will not be selected by the game rules, but players can kill people in the safe zone through their own subjective wishes."

"One of the hidden rules is that if everyone guesses the real murderer, then the safe zone rules will be invalidated, and the second is that the murderer will also enter the safe zone."

"The first case at the beginning was the No. 13 participant—he was hit by a car and died on the way here. Tianwaiyin released all the on-site investigation information and the background of the characters, and said that the murderer was among the twelve people. .”

At this point, the game officially begins.

Officer Gao couldn't help being silent for a moment after listening, and finally gave a comment: "An inhumane game."

Xue Che nodded again and again: "That's right, it's too perverted, and I don't know which psychopath thought it up."

The seeds of mutual suspicion have been planted from the very beginning, and the rules have almost cut off the possibility of cooperation. In the end, few will survive.

If it is really completely engraved into reality, 90.00% of the [-]% may be completely wiped out within five rounds.

However, in terms of the current development of science and technology, the possibility of a complete remake of this game is very small, and it is not realistic at all. At best, it can only be a symbolic shell.

Lin Jianqiu then answered Officer Gao's question.

"There are thirteen people in the game, namely murderer, undercover agent, detective, singer, doctor, teacher, hacker, entrepreneur, young couple, thief, tramp and little girl."

"I saw that there were no children in the missing list. If it really came after me, there is only one child by my side, and that is Nan Nan."

At that time, he wasn't even sure yet, after all, this kind of guessing was so unbelievable that even he himself thought it was impossible.

Officer Gao couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, you react quickly."

I would rather trust it to have it than to trust it to have nothing.

However, it was precisely because Nan Nan was almost kidnapped that Lin Jianqiu realized that the vague sense of familiarity was not his illusion.

"The murderer refers to person No.13, who is the first deceased."

When Tong Shuimiao's past was revealed, Lin Jianqiu was completely sure.

It's right from beginning to end, at least it seems to be more convincing than the initial guess.

But Lin Jianqiu intentionally or unintentionally avoided the most important question.

"So, where did this game rule come from?" Officer Gao finally asked.

Lin Jianqiu tapped his forehead with his fingertips.

"I wrote it." He said softly.
