Chapter 2060 Assisting in a Foul
This is a closed-field dungeon. The castle owner has set the rules, so some special details should be noted. The servants are not real people. They are the hands, feet and lips of the puppet maker. If "breaking the rules" and "punishment" need to be "seen", then being "seen" by the servants is equivalent to being "seen" by the puppet maker.
I don't know if the three middle-aged men did something that other players didn't do last night - but this is also not absolutely representative, because only three puppets are made a day, which does not mean that there are only three people who can be selected to make puppets on the first day. Maybe some people will be selected on the second day.
The 25th person did not sit on the chair prepared by the servant, which may be the main reason why he became the first puppet. Of course, he was also the first to die, but he did not die at the hands of the puppet maker.
Although the painter went out after finishing the work and even destroyed the black cat painting, she is not a ticket player. For existing ticket players, it doesn't matter whether the extra people are doing dungeons or being accidentally involved. Her biggest role is to test whether going out at night or even destroying paintings is suspected of violating the rules of the dungeon.
However, for Xu Huo, all the actions of the painter were of little reference value. The castle owner must know that there is an extra person in the dungeon, but it is not certain whether he can identify her as a prop. It may even be impossible to make her puppet at all due to the dungeon rules.
I don’t know if the three players who died last night did anything else.
“Knock, knock, knock.” Someone knocked gently on the door of the painter, and Xu Huo’s attention returned to the guest room.
It was Fluorescent Powder who knocked on the door. The painter waited for a while before opening the door. Fluorescent Powder said with a little flattery and fear: “Sister, the person living next door to me is very fierce. I’m afraid he will come to kill me in the middle of the night. Can I live with you?”
The painter was a little hesitant, and Fluorescent Powder immediately took out a large bag of local specialties, “These are my accommodation fees, okay?”
The painter was still very happy to try new things, so she happily invited her in.
After a while, Xu Huo also came out of the room and knocked on the door of the painter.
The painter could recognize it from the footsteps. This time he came quickly and handed the snacks in his hand to him.
"I don't want to eat, thank you." Xu Huo pointed his chin at the house, "Can we go in and chat?"
The painter immediately gave up her seat.
After closing the door, Xu Huo asked about the details of her going out last night, such as how long Gao Mawei and the middle-aged man stayed in the showroom, where the middle-aged man was during this period, and that nothing else was seen at the place where the 25th player was killed by the black cat, and whether any servants were found during the whole process.
The painter thought about it seriously, and then said, "No servants were found. I went to find food but didn't find it, so I wanted them to help me."
Xu Huo asked a few more questions. What the painter said was not much different from what she told other players during the day, and she also answered some details when asked by the long-clothed man.
The middle-aged man and the 25th player had fought with the black cat, but Gao Mawei came out of the showroom and avoided the black cat's attack. From beginning to end, she did not have any conflict with anything in the castle.
Player No. 25 died last night, but the puppet maker still made his puppet. Does this mean that even if the player dies for other reasons, the expected puppet production will not change?
The conditions given in the copy introduction are too few, and there may be multiple possibilities for each detail. The information that players actively obtain is not much, and the risk of rash attempts is too high.
However, there are three pieces of information that are certain at present.
First, the "punishment" of the puppet maker is generally carried out when both parties are present.
Second, the player puppet made by the puppet maker will not always be held by him.
Third, the player puppet can be recycled.
Each of these three pieces of information also contains a question.
The first is that the "punishment" requires both parties to be present, so when the puppet maker "sees" the player, does the player "violate the rules"?
The second is that the incomplete puppets are all found in other places. Does this represent an alternative notification, and does the incomplete part have other meanings?
The third is, will the puppet returned to the puppet maker be repaired and taken out again? If so, is the repaired puppet considered a "satisfactory puppet"?
As for the process of puppet makers selecting the objects to be made, it is too subjective. Without more information to support it, it is impossible to make a judgment. We can only wait and see tomorrow.
"You know each other." Fluorescent powder observed the conversation between the painting girl and Xu Huo, and said after a while.
The painting girl waved her hand in an exaggerated way, indicating that she definitely did not know Xu Huo.
Xu Huo glanced at fluorescent powder and said, "Go back to your room."
This is a warning.
Fluorescent powder smiled lightly, "If I don't leave, can you still kill me? Aren't you afraid that it will be your puppet that appears tomorrow?"
Xu Huo told her calmly, "No. 25 died in the hands of the black cat, and his puppet still appeared, which means that there is a certain probability that the castle owner will not care whether the player is dead or not, and how he died."
The smile on the face of fluorescent powder disappeared, but she looked at the painting girl, "Sister, you see he is so fierce."
However, the painting girl was not as easy to talk to as before. She ignored her and asked Xu Huo, "Kill her?"
Xu Huo did not answer, and his eyes fell on fluorescent powder.
Fluorescent Pink finally understood it now. She sneered and said, "I was still acting like a fool to fool you, but I didn't expect you to have joined forces a long time ago. It seems... there must be a non-ticket player among you?"
The non-ticket player is considered the 25th person, which is equivalent to occupying the original quota of a ticket player. If everyone wants to see their dolls within seven days, because of her joining, they have to get rid of one more person.
"I understand, she is threatening us." The painting girl looked around, then raised the communication device.
"Threat?" Xu Huo stood up with a smile, "If her doll appears tomorrow, it can be called a threat."
Even if the painting girl breaks the rules, the doll will not appear, which means that the copy has restrictions on this, so there is no such thing as her occupying a doll quota. Since there is no conflict of interest, the threat naturally does not exist.
"Besides, how are you sure that the non-ticket players must be among us." Xu Huo opened the door and tilted his head slightly to look at her, "Maybe you are the non-ticket player."
Fluorescent powder didn't understand what he meant, but just when she was about to walk out, her feet suddenly became empty. She suddenly stopped her posture and used props to protect her body. But she didn't expect that Xu Huo didn't want her life, but instead killed her. She was sent back to her room, and the place she bumped into happened to be the doll ornaments in the room!
