Consciousness floats in the dark.

It seems that someone is beating the invisible giant drum in a disorderly manner, and the flute with a single tone is pulling out a chaotic tune that is disgusting.

All kinds of voices are mixed together, but nothing can be seen in front of the eyes. Even if you try your best, you can only vaguely recognize large groups of dark red meat in the chaos.

The shapeless mass was too huge, so only a corner of it could be seen, and several squeezed green eyes were almost transparent, looking at——

Lin You suddenly opened his eyes.

The sun was so dazzling that her eyeballs hurt, she raised a hand to half cover her eyes, and sat up from the bed under her.

"Hey," the skull on the window sill was lazily enjoying the sun, "I heard that you can get calcium in the sun—good morning."

"How does it feel?" it asked.

Before Lin You had time to answer, the series of noises had alarmed the person who just opened the door and came in. The person rushed over without even closing the door.

"Are you awake?" Jian Mingjia asked nervously like a cannonball, "Are you okay? Don't move around, I'm not sure if I can bandage well——"

"This lady."

Skull said dissatisfied: "Are you questioning my guidance?"

Jian Mingjia: "..."

It's a bit disturbing to think of yourself as a guy who blows up fireworks.

"...I made a mistake." Lin You murmured, ignoring the two of them, recalling the development so far.

The atmosphere suddenly calmed down.

"Really?!" Thinking about what happened, Jian Mingjia felt his teeth itch with hatred, "That person surnamed Gu dared to attack you, and he was playing tricks behind your back, he really is a villain—"

Lin You sighed almost at the same time as her, "I don't know if I really saw Asato—"

Jian Mingjia: "...?????"

The four eyes are facing each other, and if you add the black eye sockets of the skull, there are six eyes. She finally realized that the two of them are not on the same channel at all.

She stared at Lin You, and even guessed something from the other's overly calm expression and words, her eyelids twitched.

"Hey," Jian Mingjia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't tell me..."

"Yes."

Lin You signaled her to close the door, "I won't let someone stab me in the back without knowing it."

"..."

Jian Mingjia opened his mouth, not knowing how to react for a while.

"It's too messy." She finally collected her mood, closed the door, shook her head and sat down beside the bed, "If you don't pay attention, you will be directly out of the game. What do you think?"

Not in a hurry to answer her question, Lin You asked instead, "Where are you now?"

"Luo Jing's house," Jian Mingjia added, "it's rented."

"He found his address on his phone before, but he didn't think to use it, but it just came in handy now. After you lost too much blood and passed out, this guy gave me instructions on how to bandage him urgently."

She glanced at the skull, obviously not convinced by the witchcraft method it said at the time, but unexpectedly it worked unexpectedly.

"During this period, Luo Jing and Xiao Geng temporarily repelled the believers who came to attack, and then we ran all the way to the road to stop a taxi. The driver was startled by the blood, and promised not to speak out... …Well, but you just have to listen to the authenticity of these words, and you should change places as soon as you can move freely.”

"I can do it now."

Lin You looked down at her hands, the stabbed position was staggered, coupled with the timely treatment, she didn't even lose much stamina, "But just stay here."

"Is this also a plan?"

"Ah."

Realizing that he didn't know anything about it, Jian Mingjia let out a long sigh.

"When did you find out?"

Jian Mingjia was talking about Gu Heng, of course, even though she knew there was another reason behind it, she still didn't have much affection for him.

"At first."

Lin You spoke lightly, causing Fa Xiao's eyes to widen.

"I was wondering," she said, "why I was in that hotel by myself."

"After much deliberation, maybe my performance in this dungeon last time made the system think that I was the type who would single-handedly kill me if I found any strange rumors—"

Jian Mingjia couldn't help complaining: "Aren't you?"

Lin You: "..."

Well she is.

"In short, the time in the copy is fluid, and players who have been here once will have further logical and personal arrangements. In this way, the other person is a bit strange."

"You mean Xiao Geng?"

Lin You said "hmm".

"He was always with me last time, and you know his temperament." She said, "It's normal to avoid him or stay with me. It's not in line with his personality to go to someone for help alone. You can ask Ask him which one he chooses."

"—So, I'm afraid the real setting is the other way around."

"You mean," Jian Mingjia understood what she meant, "it wasn't that he went to 'Gu Heng' for the matter of the black goat cub, but that 'Gu Heng' came to him instead?"

Lin You nodded.

"At that time, I began to suspect that the so-called firm was involved with other forces. I helped them collect information secretly, and on the surface, I was able to find the witness who had witnessed the black goat cub, so that Victor trusted Naia once. Give him your dagger..."

"Of course, what really got me suspicious was a phone call."

They were discussing what to do next by the car, but Gu Heng's cell phone rang.Although he pressed it immediately, saying that it was opened by a previous client, it still caught Lin You's attention.

How could there be irrelevant spam in the game at critical moments, and besides, when encountering an opportunity that might become a clue, shouldn't the normal way be to try?

His concealment was suspicious enough.

... Geng Qinghe believed it all.

"However, isn't this a bit strange?"

Jian Mingjia thought about it: "I remember you said that after you went back, you saw that the office was searched all over. Since they belonged to a group, why did they do this?"

"Of course it's because he felt betrayed." Lin You rested her chin with one hand, "After that, it was Naia and the black goat, which deepened the suspicion."

"I don't know how he temporarily stabilized them and made them think they set a trap—"

"...Wait a minute," Jian Mingjia was taken aback, "What do they think?"

"Yeah, that's what happened."

"His original idea was to attract some of them, and grab a few of them to force him to find out as many things as possible." Lin You waved his hand, "But, I think it's better to be more extreme."

She gestured at the wound.

"Because I have already become suspicious of him, I have to pay a price to completely redeem him. Then pretend to attack me in front of them, and take the opportunity to go back to that club. The risk of doing this is not small, but if you can get it in exchange The inside should cooperate with the outside—"

Jian Mingjia: "..."

How dare you bring this up yourself? ?

Her expression changed again and again, and finally asked: "Then the dagger he used...?"

She had already heard about something wrong with it from Gengqinghekou, and now she guessed a lot, and just wanted to hear a definite answer.

Lin You said "ah".

"Life has to be exciting to be exciting, right? I just wanted to see if I could really use it to meet Azathoth," she said, "Unfortunately, it didn't work."

……really.

Jian Mingjia's eyelids twitched, no wonder she said she made a mistake as soon as she woke up.

"I only had time to catch a glimpse of it. It seems that the serious ones still have to follow that ritual..."

Under Jian Mingjia's death gaze, Lin You's eyes rolled.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm leaving behind." She assured, and immediately pointed to the skull, "It told me that young people are bold enough to let go, and they will definitely be saved. Otherwise, why do you think they reacted so quickly? What are you going to do when you come here?"

The skull didn't expect to be sold every minute, it was stunned.

"I persuaded, I absolutely persuaded."

It cried out with a strong desire to survive: "But she insists on doing it alone, believe me!"

Jian Mingjia: "..."

Having such a green plum is really frustrating.

She let out a long sigh, "Tell me what's going on in advance, or I'll be really shocked."

"Isn't it because you are afraid that too many people will look unnatural?" Lin You smiled, "Besides, I believe in your ability."

She was not the only one who went through upgrades all the way.

The skull looked at her and then at Jian Mingjia. The sentence it yelled just now was too loud, and it had already attracted the attention of the two people outside the door.

"How about it?" Jian Mingjia asked, "tell them?"

"Luo Jing can say that Geng Qinghe..."

Lin You and her looked at each other and reached a consensus.

With his stubbornness, it's better to talk to him slowly.

"Sister Yu, are you awake?" Geng Qinghe who knocked on the door twice and came in surprised, "I'm still thinking—"

Suddenly recalling what happened before, his expression changed.

"Fortunately, I still think that guy can be trusted more or less," he said angrily, "I didn't expect to attack Sister You so badly..."

"fine."

Among other things, the feeling of someone thinking of you will definitely not be bad.Lin You smiled. She saw Luo Jing being pulled aside by Jian Mingjia from a distance, and she looked at this side in shock during the conversation.

"Compared to this, it is more important to think about what to do in the current situation."

Geng Qinghe muttered, "It doesn't matter anymore", Lin You smiled, but soon, she looked out the window and put away her smile.

Several police cars were parked downstairs.

Gu Heng was convinced that there were people from that secret club in the police station, and it was only a matter of time before she found Luo Jing's address, but it came sooner than she imagined.

Sensing what she was looking at, Geng Qinghe followed him to the window, and immediately gasped when he saw this scene.

"Sister You," he said anxiously, "shall we hurry—"

Doorbell rang.

Lin You thought about it.

"I'll open the door," she said.

"But--"

She raised her eyebrows, "Trust me."

He fell silent.

Jian Mingjia and the two who were still in the living room watched all this quietly, without looking at the peephole, Lin You pulled down the latch.

Outside the door is the police with live ammunition.

"Hands up," ordered the leader, "over your head!"

Facing the black muzzle of the gun, she slowly raised her hands.

When we arrived at the police station, even the interrogation was omitted.

"You have been charged," said the police officer who was nearly fifty years old, his cheeks were deeply sunken, and he seemed to be in charge. "It is said that you are suspected of murdering Victor Norton."

Victor Norton, the unlucky guy who was killed after inheriting the dagger left by his uncle.

Even though he knew that this group of cultists wanted to deliberately frame him, Jian Mingjia still couldn't help but speak.

"What about the evidence?" she asked, "You can't just convict someone just because of a few words, right?"

"Then can you explain why you showed up at Norton's house in the middle of the night?"

This belongs to the category that cannot be said, Lin You raised her chin.

"At least a little bit." She pointed at Geng Qinghe, "We two went to his house, what does it have to do with them?"

"Those who are not at the scene may not be accomplices." The police officer said coldly, as if he was determined to charge them with trumped-up charges.

"But isn't there even a normal procedure?"

Luo Jing patted the railing.

"Who came up and detained directly?"

They were staying in a simple cell behind the police station, men and women were separated, but it was just next door.

The police officer ignored him this time, and just scribbled a few more notes on the board in his hand, threw down a blunt sentence of "witnesses will arrive later" and turned and walked out of the corridor.

Jian Mingjia said "tsk", "They usually handle the case like this, and it will be over sooner or later."

"It's almost over," Lin You reminded, "They are all summoning evil gods to die."

"It would be great if there was an achievement system."

Geng Qinghe said absent-mindedly: "Complete the achievement and experience going to jail in the game."

Having said that, he thought, if there really were, maybe the boss would unlock all of them...

Even if he was locked in a cell, the atmosphere wasn't too tense. Anyway, the iron railings couldn't hold him back, so he just waited and watched.Luo Jing simply leaned against the wall and played rock-paper-scissors with Zuo himself.

The clock on the wall ticked away every minute and every second, and almost 10 minutes passed when the door suddenly opened.

"I'll take you to make a record in a while," a small policeman led the way, "please confirm if it's these people."

They saw clearly the man walking behind him.

It's Gu Heng.

Geng Qinghe stood up abruptly, if he hadn't been locked in and far away, he might have already made a move.

"you--"

The apparent traitor pretended he didn't hear, and Lin You met his gaze.

Gu Heng stood in front of the iron railing and took another look at her.

"Well," he said, "I can testify."

——What would be the reaction of a person who was almost killed when facing the murderer?

Her sudden action was beyond everyone's expectations.

A heavy punch hit Gu Heng's face impartially.Lin You didn't hold back half of his strength, this punch turned his head over the head, and the corner of his broken mouth was bleeding a little.Before he could react, the other hand grabbed his collar and pulled him forward forcefully.

The width of the railing was just wide enough for the person inside to reach out, and there was only a cell door between them.

"What are you doing?!"

The policeman behind shouted, "Let go!"

Lin You just glanced at him.

"Do you know what happened to the guy who offended me last time?" She raised her voice and said with a fake smile, "You will regret it."

"yes."

He patted away the hand that was holding the collar, and raised his head again.

"Then I'll wait," Gu Heng wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, and smiled disapprovingly.

"Anyway, you can only stay here honestly now."

With a bang, the corridor door was slammed shut.After waiting to confirm that no one would come again for a long time, Lin You turned her back and used her body to block the range that the surveillance camera in the corner of the ceiling could see.

She let go of her hand and showed what was stuffed just now.

The key to the cell door jingled lightly, and an address was written on the long slip of paper.

"Walk."

Lin You raised the corners of her mouth, "Go and take out their nest."
