Chapter 138 Threats Are Useless
Time goes back to twenty minutes ago.
After temporarily parting with the others, Xi Li followed You Xueshan down to the first floor.
Even in the daytime, the light in the corridor is still not very sufficient. In addition, there are many illusions of life and death in this mansion, and people walking in it can't help but feel terrified and nervous.
You Xueshan is fine, she has seen a lot and doesn't feel scared.
Compared with this gloomy atmosphere where a dead person can jump out at any time, she still dislikes the scene of bloody eyes and arms and legs all over the floor.
Xi Li walked beside her, slightly behind, almost close to her, very timid.
Even her voice was shaking.
"Sister, will the missing player suddenly appear?"
She was talking about Yan Lingqing.
You Xueshan knew that the other party wanted her to comfort her with a few words, such as "Don't worry" and "I will protect you".
But she didn't like to say these meaningless nonsense, she just nodded and confirmed Xi Li's idea.
"Yes, I will."
Afraid that she would not believe him, he said "yes" twice.
"..."
Xi Li did not expect You Xueshan to speak so directly, and she felt helpless.
"Sister, if you speak like this, you will scare boys away."
"If I don't speak like this, they are afraid of me too."
You Xueshan took out a new hair tie from her pocket and tied the three iron pipes together.
The knot she tied was very special, and after some operation, the iron pipes were firmly attached to each other.
Then she held it in her hand and used it as her weapon.
Xi Li watched her movements, curious.
"Do you still have to be so vigilant during the day? Isn't it said that daytime is very safe for players?"
"Who said that?" You Xueshan disagreed, "The manual only said that we should hide in the house at night, but never said that it would be okay during the day."
"Ah, that's because I was too careless."
Xi Li realized her slip of the tongue and slapped her lips twice.
From the current conversation, it sounds like the conversation between the two is still a very ordinary girl's chat.
You Xueshan is secretly on guard, but she has not made any particularly obvious movements at the moment.
The two planned to check all four rooms on the first floor in order to determine which rooms could be used at night.
The first room they arrived at was 101, and You Xueshan tried to open the door.
The door could no longer be opened.
I don’t know when it started to close. Gu Xiuqi only walked out of this room in the morning.
It seems that the boss of this dungeon is very elusive. It can easily produce three steaming meals for these players to maintain their lives.
It will also close a life-saving door at any time, making them lose the chance of survival.
"101 can't be opened," You Xueshan shook the door handle twice again, to no avail, "Let's go and see 102 opposite."
102 can be opened normally.
The two walked into the room, and the room was neat and tidy, and it didn't look like anyone had lived there.
I don't know if Yang Huan, who hid here last night, didn't move anything, or if someone cleaned the place after he left.
After entering the house, as usual, you have to look around and look for clues.
You Xueshan specifically picked those corners where dirt and filth were hidden. The layout of this room was too clear at a glance. She always felt that there would be something different in these places.
Sure enough, when she lay on the floor and looked under the bed, she saw some bloody scratches under the bed with the light from the window.
...
No, this should be a string of words.
A deal is a deal.
A deal?
You Xueshan was a little confused. She knew the original meaning of this proverb, but it seemed a little inapplicable at this time.
She kept this sentence in mind and discussed it with others while preparing lunch.
Xili's footsteps sounded behind her. She must be wandering around aimlessly, not knowing where to start.
You Xueshan continued to look under the bed, trying to find clues hidden in other places.
"You can look behind the curtains, the skirting of the floor, and behind the TV cabinet," You Xueshan said without looking back, looking for something for Xili to do.
Xi Li responded, and finally, her footsteps were no longer so chaotic, and You Xueshan's ears became quiet.
Xi Li was next to the curtains, pulled them open, and looked at the white wall behind.
She was looking for clues while talking to You Xueshan.
"Sister, is the person who disappeared this morning really dead?"
"Well... it's possible."
"We were all on the second floor last night," Xi Li paused, and she must have squatted down, "Sister, did you hear that scream? I was scared to death."
You Xueshan agreed casually, very perfunctorily.
"Is he really dead? Now he's missing, it's too dangerous for us."
Xi Li's voice was a little complaining.
"Wouldn't it be a waste of time for us to look for clues here? Why don't we go find him directly? Anyway, this room is only this big."
"What can we do after finding him?" You Xueshan said lazily, "There are more than one monster hiding in this place."
"Then we can also kill one first!" Xi Li said, "As long as he is killed, won't we have one less threat at night?"
"..."
You Xueshan was lying on the floor just now. When she heard Xi Li's words, her body stiffened, and then she changed to a posture that was convenient for standing up.
Then she stood up by supporting the floor.
"Just now I was thinking about what was wrong, and now I have figured it out a little bit," You Xueshan looked at Xi Li's back, lifted the bottom of the team uniform with one hand, and held the iron pipe on the back of her waist in her hand, "You seem to have been leading me to talk about the missing person."
Xi Li held the curtain with one hand and did not turn around.
"Sister, you are too suspicious."
You Xueshan ignored her words, but talked to herself, and her speed was very fast.
"You told me that you are a newcomer. Can a newcomer escape from the first double-trap room smoothly? I don't think the possibility is high."
"I didn't go through the door, I know it's a lie. I can see that the ventilation vent is the best passage."
"You can also go through the window."
"Really? I don't..."
Xi Li's voice paused because she heard the sound of a weapon being pulled out behind her.
You Xueshan rushed over almost at the same time, holding Xi Li's neck with her hand, pressing the back of her knees with her knees, and pressing the iron pipe against her spleen from the side.
"You are the player who died at the beginning."
Now that You Xueshan thought about it, there were actually many places that hinted at this, such as the mirror that suddenly gave rise to an accident, and why it was Yan Lingqing who had the accident on the first night.
Yan Lingqing and Xi Li had searched for clues together, and during this period, Xi Li must have used some method to make him accidentally say his name.
As soon as You Xueshan's words came out, Xi Li, who had just been trying to defend himself, suddenly fell silent.
"You can't kill me," she said, "You don't have clear evidence to prove that I am a 'dead person', you just rely on your own inference."
She said another sentence.
"Who knows if there is a live broadcast now? If there is a live broadcast, then your crime of killing an innocent new player will be exposed to the public."
Xi Li's words hit the nail on the head.
It is daytime now, and she is no different from other players. She can have normal conversations and move freely.
Now You Xueshan is going to "execute" her with her own hands based on some personal inferences and guesses.
If Xi Li is a living person, then the impact on You Xueshan herself and those viewers who don't know whether she exists will be very huge.
Xi Li wanted to put You Xueshan's morality and conscience on the fire.
But You Xueshan didn't buy it at all.
"Threatening me? It's useless," You Xueshan's weapon went a step further, "I don't even know if I can survive the punishment. What I want is to live one day at a time. How about this, I won't make it difficult for you, you let me try first."
The iron pipe was aimed at the spleen, the most vulnerable part of the human body, and stabbed fiercely.
