Chapter 400 The First Victim

(This chapter is the real 397. The title of the previous chapter is wrong and cannot be modified, but the content is fine, please rest assured to read)
Threatened by No. 8's voice, the killer could only stop killing and quickly enter his room.

Sure enough, the shrill scream didn't sound again, and the call came immediately, and the living room was once again bright as day.

Before Meng Fei opened the door, he heard the creaking sound of the door opening.Then came a series of heavy footsteps.

No. 8's bass-like voice came out again.

"Don't be afraid, everyone, the lights in the living room are already on. I just walked out of my room, did you all hear the footsteps?
"I deliberately made the sound of footsteps to show you that I was not the murderer who stayed in the living room, but walked out of the room."

"Hmph, this may not prove that you are not a killer, right? Why do you dare to run into the living room alone?"

There was another girl's voice in the room, different from No. 4, No. 3.

"Because I know the timing of turning on and off the lights in the living room. I know the lights will be on now.

"If the killer comes to kill me, I yell his number and he's finished. So the killer will never risk coming to the living room and attacking me now."

Number 8 answered calmly.

But girl No. 3 continued to be emotionally unstable, and asked in a trembling voice:
"You're not a killer, how do you know the rules of turning on and off the lights? I haven't seen this in the system information!"

"Light and darkness are fixed and intertwined islands. Everyone pay attention to the word fixed.

"I thought it was just a normal cycle of night and day. But it's not.

"After the accident that just turned off the lights, I think light and dark refer to the living room lights on and off.

"Fixed staggering means that their time period is fixed."

"There is an alarm clock in every room, and in the living room, it's definitely not a decoration. It shows that time is important, so I keep an eye on it.

"Our game starts at 7:45 and the lights go out in the living room at 8:15 sharp. The lights come back on [-] seconds later.

"That means every 15 minutes, the living room light goes off for 15 seconds.

"So from now until 8:15, the living room lights are on. We should use this time to find the killer.

"If everyone hides in the room and waits until 8:15 to turn off the lights in the living room again, the killer can enter your room in the dark and kill you one by one."

"If the killer enters the room to kill someone, won't he expose himself? Even if the guest can't beat him, he still has time to call out his number, right?"

Another person in the room who didn't know the number asked.

"You're right. But he should have successfully killed someone just now, right?
"In the prologue it says that the killer can see through darkness. So once it's dark time, we have no match for him in the living room.

"The door can't stop him. We can't get into other people's rooms, and we can't rescue him, but he can go in.

"A killer with one face and one face is sure to die. Then as long as he can kill three people within 15 seconds, he will win!"

"15 seconds, run three rooms, kill three people, it seems that the time is a bit tight."

Meng Fei passed this scene in his mind.It's not a big problem if you just run around three rooms.It mainly depends on how fast the killer kills.

Now he doesn't know how the killer kills people, so it's hard to tell.

"What if he's willing to gamble?" Eight asked.

Everyone was silent.

The killer only needs to kill four people to win.Within 15 seconds of the first lights out, he probably really meant to kill four in a row.

But everyone ran into the room under Meng Fei's reminder, and the timely threat from No. 8 interrupted his plan.

He's running out of time to go into every room and kill people.So I can only give up the plan and wait for the next time the lights are turned off.

But next time, he does have a chance to try to hit the "triple kill" record.

The living room is invincible, and the guests cannot be rescued without the keys to other people's rooms, so the fact is that no one will be rescued at all.

"Everyone clearly heard the screams just now, but I don't see the dead body in the living room now."

Number 8 went on to describe what he saw.

"It is possible that the game is set so that the body disappears after being killed. It is also possible that the body was hidden by the killer.

"I would advise everyone to get out of the room slowly. I was in the living room and I could see everyone coming out and then we would search everyone's room.

"If a person is not in his room, or if there is a dead body in his room, then he is a killer!"

Meng Fei couldn't help admiring No. 8's series of reasoning.

"No. 8 makes a lot of sense, let's go out."

Meng Fei was the first to open the door and walked out.

Under the call of Meng Fei on the 8th and 5th, other people who were still in fear also came out.

The tall figure of No. 8 stood in the living room like a policeman on guard, with sharp eyes constantly scanning all the doors.

But Meng Fei's heart sank.Because the door of Room 4 has not been opened, and no one has come out.

There is only one possibility, that is, there is a high probability that Tang Wenwen's No. 4 player will be the first to be killed.

It made sense for the killer to choose to kill Tang Wenwen first.Tang Wenwen exposed her seasoned experience in playing Shayou, and her positive attitude easily won the trust of other guest players.

If he is a killer, he will also clear such opponents first.In addition, of course, there is the number 8.But compared to the tall and big No. 8, No. 4 is just a girl.

Judging from the hints in the opening remarks, the killer does not use magic to kill, but some physical means, and the victim can resist it.It is definitely safer to kill a weak woman than to kill a burly man like No. 8.

In this way, the killer achieved a quarter of the goal, and also got rid of a strong enemy, reducing the possibility of mutual trust and unity among the guests.

"All but number 4 are due."

No. 8 looked around, then waved his hand and said, "Time is running out. After all, there are only 15 minutes. Let's search every room as soon as possible."

Although this is said, in fact, every room can be seen at a glance, and there is no change.

Except for the door of No. 4, which could not be opened because No. 4 disappeared without a key, all other rooms were searched once.

Countertops, wastebaskets, alarm clocks, post-it notes, chairs, nothing else.There were no dead bodies, and no possible place to hide them.

"It seems that number 4 must have been killed. The body of number 4 either disappeared due to system settings, or was hidden in room 4 by the murderer."

No. 8 concluded.

In theory, if No. 4 is still alive in the room, she will definitely come out.Since she doesn't come out, she can only be in a state of death.

The killer must be among the rest.

Meng Fei has not yet considered who the killer is.Because there are so few clues.

He thinks about what he sees.

Countertop, wastebasket, alarm clock, post-it notes, chair.These items circled in his mind.What are these items prepared for in the game?
