He Ao walked very quickly and almost walked into the dining car in a short time.

The originally neatly arranged dining tables scattered chaotically. Not far from the door, Ruoti lay down on the ground with his eyes wide open, as if he had seen something extremely surprising before he died.

"ah!"

Lin Chichi was the first to notice He Ao's actions and the first to follow him. She stood beside He Ao and screamed subconsciously when she saw the body on the ground.

She squinted her eyes slightly and glanced at He Ao's cheek.

Luo Luo followed closely, standing next to her, looking at the body on the ground with a gloomy expression.

He Ao's eyes quickly noticed the blank note mixed with the dried blood. The paper of the note was not the paper of the notebook that Luo Luo had taken out, but a new type of paper that had never been displayed before. .

At this time, Jin Ya also came over. As everyone saw the body, the ground of the dining car rippled like water waves. Ruoti's body slowly sank until it was completely submerged in the ground.

At this moment, everyone was silent.

Ruoti was different from the passenger in compartment No. 5 who died before. That passenger didn't have much interaction with them and had a bad impression. He didn't even know his name.

Although Ruoti didn't give people a good impression, in a short period of time, everyone still had relatively deep interactions and got to know him.

The sudden death of a person you 'know' is different from the sudden death of a stranger.

Lin Chichi covered her mouth and trembled all over. She glanced at He Ao in horror, shrank back, and seemed to have lost her voice for a moment.

Luo Luo raised his head and glanced at He Ao's serious profile, and was speechless for a moment.

Passenger No. 5 had a conflict with He Ao, and Passenger No. 5 died.

Ruoti had a conflict with He Ao, and even accused He Ao of being the murderer, and then Ruoti died.

Although theoretically speaking, it is impossible for the real murderer to do something that clearly exposes his identity, but who knows whether He Ao will do the opposite.

Jin Ya was stunned when she saw this scene, looked at He Ao again, and said nothing.

Although everyone thinks it can't be He Ao, judging from the current intelligence, He Ao is the most suspected 'murderer'.

Regardless of whether this was a murderous plan to alienate people, he did destroy the trust between everyone.

At this moment, He Ao's brain was running very fast.

In the four hours he had just passed through the tunnel, he had thought about countless situations, but none of them were consistent with the situation in front of him.

He was a little surprised, but what was surprising was not Ruoti's death, but the way Ruoti died.

Various possible conjectures flashed through his mind, and his plan had to be modified.

He spoke slowly and said softly, "When I was just passing through the tunnel, about the last hour, I heard slight footsteps outside the door. The footsteps rang twice. The interval between them was not long, but from the sound Look, they don’t belong to the same person.”

This time again in two languages.

"I also heard similar footsteps before and after, but nothing else."

Luo Luo said.

When she spoke now, she expressed her attitude and followed the dominant position established by He Ao before.

Afterwards, the entire dining car fell into a brief silence.

After a while, Jin Ya slowly spoke.

"Me too, the first footsteps stayed in front of my door for a long time, and the second footsteps were very fast, more like I had heard that footsteps before."

Luo Luo breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Jin Ya's voice. Although she didn't understand what Jin Ya was saying, Jin Ya's opening proved that Jin Ya still supported He Ao for the time being.

This means that voting out Ho Ao this time is unlikely to happen.

In such a repressive environment, the further back they go, the more vulnerable and extreme people become, and the easier it is for them to do irrational things.

Especially when people have the power to kill others.

No one voted in the first two times because there are still moral and psychological defenses as obstacles. As death gets closer, people's psychological defenses will become more and more fragile.

Luo Luo turned his attention to Lin Chichi, who had shrunk between her and Jin Ya.

Lin Chichi glanced at Luo Luo, then at He Ao, and said slowly in a trembling voice, "I only heard two footsteps, and nothing else."

Then she swallowed and said with a vibrato, "Sorry, I feel a little uncomfortable. I want to be alone."

After saying that, she turned around and ran back to the compartment.

Luo Luo glanced at her back with some worry, sighed, and then looked in the direction where Ruoti's body disappeared, "So is it possible that the first footsteps were Ruoti's? But how did he leave the compartment? What about?"

They all tried, but the compartment door wouldn't open.

"have no idea,"

He Ao walked to the place where Ruoti's body disappeared and looked around. The tables around him were all clean, and the remaining steamer baskets and milk cups from yesterday had disappeared.

It was also the case before that the leftover tableware would disappear naturally after passing through the tunnel.

I just don’t know if the chef cleaned it up or if the car cleaned it up by itself.

The note dropped to the ground that He Ao saw just now also disappeared. The car did not leave any evidence or clues for him.

But the note itself can tell something. This special note was most likely not something Ruoti took out to tear up and play with before he died.

Although there was no writing on the note itself, with the C-level physical fitness of He Ao's puppet clone, he could vaguely see some very slight scratches that looked like writing on the paper.

The other party should have used some kind of ability to make the ink stains disappear.

However, although it is unclear what the writing is, judging from the traces, it seems to be Chinese writing.

Someone 'tricked' Ruoti from the cubicle into the dining car, and this person understood Chinese dialect.

But how did Ruoti make the other party believe in him, and how did he give Ruoti the ability to leave the cubicle?

He Ao thought of the white fabric that was vaguely visible in Ruoti's hand when he was about to enter the cubicle at the end.

What it is?

He Aoneng had a premonition that he didn't have much time. He had to clear up this matter as soon as possible and then make a good layout during this free time.

"A glass of milk and a basket of soup dumplings."

Luo Luo put his hands on the bar, stuck out his little head and said to the inside of the dining table.

Nine hours had passed since the last time He Ao took Luo Luo to eat, and even Luo Luo was a little hungry.

She waited for a while, and a basket of soup dumplings was photographed on the dining table.

He Ao stared at her petite and cute back. The moment the soup dumplings were photographed on the dining table, he felt that something that had been blocked in his mind was cleared.

"Think of anything?"

A dull voice came from behind.

Jin Ya squatted beside He Ao, also looking at the traces on the ground.

"Well," He Ao nodded slightly and said in Chinese, "the design of his bar counter is not very friendly to children, it is too high."

Luo Luo, who was struggling to put his little hand into the dining table to reach the soup dumpling steamer and drag out the soup dumplings, stopped what he was doing and turned around to glare at He Ao fiercely.

The originally depressing atmosphere was slightly relieved by this joke.

He Ao glanced at the beautiful scenery outside the window, turned back to the confused Jin Ya, smiled in Tiya language, and said,

"I have some clues, but there are still too few clues."

"everything will get better."

Jin Ya thought for a moment and said slowly.

"I hope."

He Ao sighed and slowly walked towards the compartment.

Jinya stared at the marks on the ground and pondered for a moment, then finally shook her head, walked to the food receptacle, and ordered a glass of milk and a large piece of bread.

She finished the bread quickly, then slowly stood up and walked back to the cubicle.

······

Compartment No. 4

Bang bang——

There was an extremely gentle knock on the door.

The girl held the door handle and opened the compartment door.

The strong sunlight shines through the car window and hits the body of the person outside the door, outlining the outline of the backlight.

The girl opened her mouth and was about to speak.

The person outside the door put his finger to his lips and made a 'shh' gesture.

·······

dining car

Luo Luo looked at the milk in the cup, pinched his nose and drank it all.

Then she looked at the empty steamer and sighed.

Now she was the only one left in the entire dining car. She walked to the food pick-up port and ordered another basket of soup dumplings and a cup of soy milk. She took these two sets and walked back to the compartment car.

There was no one in the corridor, and now no one cared what the scenery looked like outside.

She walked outside Lin Chichi's cubicle and knocked on the door.

"coming."

Lin Chichi's voice was still trembling, but he quickly opened the compartment.

"Chichi, you are hungry, come and have something to eat."

Luo Luo held up the food in her hand. Although she was small, she looked more like a gentle big sister at the moment.

"Sister Luo Luo,"

Lin Chichi looked at the food in Luo Luo's hand and choked up suddenly. She looked around to make sure there was no one in the corridor, then suddenly took Luo Luo's hand and led her to the dining car.

"What's wrong?"

Luo Luo was keenly aware that something was wrong.

Lin Chichi pulled her into the dining car, leaned against the wall at the end of the kitchen, and said softly,

"Sister Luo Luo, I can't hold on any longer."

She held Luo Luo's shoulders with both hands and whispered softly with a cry.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious," Luo Luo was a little flustered for a moment and quickly comforted, "it's not the end yet."

"Sister Luo Luo, listen to me," Lin Chichi interrupted her carefully, "My props are..."

She opened her mouth, but seemed to forget what she wanted to say for a moment. Then she paused, as if thinking about the words. After a moment, she whispered,

"I can check who is a murderer, but I can only check one person. Now I have two guesses, one is Hao Yi..."

"Hao Yi, he is..."

Luo Luo explained quickly.

"I know Sister Luo Luo, you are protecting him, but he is the most suspected now. Sister Luo Luo, I believe you are a good person," Lin Chichi said quickly, "I will go over to Hao Yi later and tell him, I’ll check him out.”

Luo Luo opened her mouth, but this time she did not interrupt Lin Chichi's words, but listened quietly to her continued story.

"But I won't really check him, I will check another person, he is..."

Lin Chichi continued.

"Why do you think it's him?"

Luo Luo was stunned when she heard that name, and then she thought, "If you say so, it's not impossible if it's really him..."

"I'm stupid and can't do that much analysis. I feel that the two of them are the most suspicious,"

Lin Chichi said quickly, "I will go over and tell Hao Yi now that I will check his identity when I pass through the tunnel. If I die,"

She took a deep breath and led Luo Luo step by step to the entrance of the dining car again, "Sister Luo Luo, be careful."

Then she ran out.

Lin Chichi told He Ao to investigate He Ao, but in fact it was another person who was investigated. If she died, it would be He Ao who did it. If she did not die, then He Ao would most likely have no problem, and at the same time he could Identify whether another suspect is a murderer.

"Do not impulse!"

Luo Luo naturally understood Lin Chichi's thoughts. She subconsciously went to pull Lin Chichi, but found that she was holding something in each hand. She quickly ran over and stopped in front of Lin Chichi.

At this time, Lin Chichi, who had already run to the entrance of the dining car, suddenly brightened up and waved, "Brother Hao Yi, can I talk to you alone?"

Luo Luo looked back and found that He Ao was already standing in the corridor at some point, chatting with Jin Ya at the door of Jin Ya's cubicle.

Luo Luo glanced at Lin Chi Chi, and under Lin Chi Chi's firm gaze, she finally slowly moved away. She whispered in Lin Chi Chi's ear, "Hao Yi is a good person, you will be fine. "

Lin Chichi nodded heavily.

Luo Luo gave Lin Chichi the milk and soup bag, then turned and walked back to his cubicle.

At this time, He Ao also said goodbye to Jin Ya and walked over.

He just asked Jin Ya in detail about the sound he heard when passing through the tunnel.

"What's wrong?"

He Ao followed Lin Chi to the back of the restaurant.

"Brother Hao Yi, my..." Lin Chi raised his head, as if he had gathered enough courage, and said slowly,

"My ability is to check whether a person is a murderer, but it can only be used once. I want to check you next time when I pass through the tunnel. As long as I can prove that you are a good person, brother, you will not be voted to death."

"Check me?"

He Ao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed, "That's fine, I hope you don't check me..."

"ah?"

Lin Chichi looked at He Ao with wide eyes.

"It's okay, just do what you want."

He Ao smiled and said softly.

At this moment, the scenery outside the window changed instantly, and figures in neat clothes appeared outside the car window. They were very fast and quickly closed the distance to the car.

These people wore uniform blue-based white-collar clothing, with the emblem of a lush giant tree embroidered with gold thread on their chests.

"these are?"

Lin Chi looked blankly at the figure outside the window. She ran to the window near the corridor and stared at these 'supermen' whose physical fitness was far beyond that of ordinary people.

"world Tree."

Luo Luo ran out of the cubicle and looked at the figure outside the window with a complicated expression, both happy and worried. The relationship between the institute and World Tree was not good.

"We might be saved."

not necessarily···

He Aowei shook his head inexplicably.

Jinya also walked out of the cubicle.

At this moment, a piercing alarm sounded suddenly.

The train appears to be preparing to enter the tunnel early.

"Stop it."

Two tall men wearing white-on-gold collars rushed out from the crowd.

C grade!

He Ao stared at the two people outside the window. He couldn't hear the sound outside the car, but he probably guessed what the other person said.

At this moment, the scene outside the window began to become distorted and dim.

In this gradually hazy and distorted scene, He Ao saw the two C-classes rushing towards the car without hesitation, trying to stop the car.

He Ao stretched out his hand to signal them to retreat and not to force their way in.

They saw He Ao's gesture through the glass, but ignored it and accelerated towards the car.

collapse--

Two bright red flowers exploded in an instant, covering the entire car window.

All the scenery is covered by this bright red dimness.

The glow inside the car was quickly fading.

Luo Luo covered her mouth in disgust.

Lin Chichi took half a step back, his eyes temporarily out of focus.

"Go back to the cubicle."

He Ao said softly.

Then he left the dining car and headed to his booth.

This car was more powerful than he imagined.

Strong and stubborn.

After all, this is B-level, the strongest power that humans can obtain in the era of cataclysm in the copy world.

The next step is the inhuman angel.

Lin Chichi was awakened to some sense by He Ao's voice. She glanced around blankly, took a deep breath, and left the dining car behind He Ao.

After everyone left, the entire dining car was gradually enveloped in complete darkness.

boom--

A white-gloved hand slowly patted the dining table.

······

One compartment door after another was closed.

He Ao also closed his cubicle door.

The countdown behind the door starts moving again.

This time it was four hours and ten minutes, including the unfinished free time.

He Ao sat on the bed and stared at the compartment door quietly.

He made a gamble based on his guess.

If his guess is wrong, he will be eliminated through the tunnel this time, and all the remaining good guys will lose their lives.

If his guess is correct, the next free time will be when everything ends.

He took a deep breath and waited quietly for the final moment to come.

······

Lin Chichi glanced at the countdown clock hanging behind the door, took another deep breath, and smiled.

She walked to the shelf in the compartment and picked up a white drawing board with a pencil embedded in it.

This drawing board and pencil are disposable, and these are her props.

‘divination drawing board’

She can do a 'divination' and ask a question to the 'gods' in the dark.

To this question, she would come back with a 'yes' or 'no' answer.

She can only ask once in the entire game. After asking, the drawing board will become invalid.

She held the drawing board and stood facing the car window, leaning the drawing board on her stomach, holding a pencil in her hand, hesitating.

Finally, she smiled, picked up her pen, and started writing questions on the drawing board.

The entire question was quickly written, the drawing board shook, and an answer gradually emerged under the question.

This answer appeared unusually slowly, changing from a faint ink stain to a clear font.

This answer is only one word.

[yes]

Click——

Suddenly there was a gentle sound of turning the door handle outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of the lock being unlocked.

The closed compartment door was slowly pushed open.

－－－－－－Digression－－－－－

Five thousand words, ah, I almost missed it.

A book dedicated to a book friend:

"This player has some conscience, but not much", the title of the book is very long, but it is not bad.

His own label is:

The protagonist of Infinite Flow is decisive in killing.
