Day of Imprisonment

The Taut Man and the Day Laborer Man and the others were first stunned, then they recalled for a moment.

Slowly, their expressions became interesting.

“That's right, the administrator had you draw a scene card at the time, and said that it was a chaotic killing type theme that very few people could draw, and the game was called 《Roll Call》. It's just that later, the content in the game process didn't seem to match the theme of 'Roll Call', so I ignored it. Could it be that…”

“Now it can be considered that we have truly entered the theme of this game. Roll call is very likely to be 'random', and the administrator has already hinted at the 'random' attribute in various ways, such as randomly drawing cards when selecting game scene themes. We also randomly draw cards when choosing a profession. There are many applications of random attributes in this scene, and if the administrator can directly execute us, he can only do it through random draws. Otherwise, no matter how you look at it, it wouldn't be the high school girl Wang Xinyue who dies first, right?”

The others immediately came back to their senses.

Yes, Wang Xinyue was actually very average when she had the 'killer' profession before. Her abilities in all aspects were not the strongest among them.

If, according to the principle that the administrator of the level scene and the Reminiscers participating in the game are naturally opposed during the Day of Confinement, then the administrator should choose someone with stronger abilities in all aspects to attack.

But if that were the case, it would completely violate the design rules of the level scene.

So, after careful consideration of 'Robber's' analysis just now, you will find that this seemingly outrageous and incredible conclusion is actually the closest guess to the truth.

“Interfering with our promotion of the main storyline of the scene and misleading our thinking is also what the administrator wants to do. If all our energy and time are spent on a meaningless 'guessing who the informant is', we will ignore the real problem. At least, there is no time to advance the plot. It's like a bus arriving at a station. If you don't catch this one, you may not have a chance to get on the bus again. However, according to the scene rules, the administrator does leave us enough time to get on the bus, so we can't say he's breaking the rules.”

After Luo Xi finished speaking, he walked into the 'murder scene'.

Affinity followed him in, and then when Hook Nose was about to go in, the Taciturn Man next to him stopped him and made a gesture.

Obviously, he was asking Hook Nose for his thoughts.

“I agree with Robber's judgment, and even if someone secretly reports, this kind of thing can only be prevented. The result of having no conclusive evidence is mutual suspicion and distrust. This situation is not beneficial to us at all, it will only be a drag. This is indeed more like a 'thought trap', it is easy to waste all your thinking ability and time in it. After careful analysis, I came to the same conclusion as 'Robber'. If you are not at ease, then strengthen mutual supervision.”

“Oh, right!” Hook Nose then thought of something and added: “There is a sentence that Robber didn't say, but he must know it, so let me say it for him. If the administrator really comes up with a random roll call mechanism, whether it's using a broken box or drawing lots with slips of paper with our real names written on them, Wang Xinyue was the first unlucky one to be drawn, but she will definitely not be the last one. This is also why 'Robber' is too lazy to explain, because we must hurry up and advance the main storyline, otherwise all of us will be executed by the administrator through a roll call!”

What he said was very clear and straightforward.

Even the Day Laborer Man and the Taut Man understood at this time.

Instantly, a chill, like a basin of cold water, poured from head to toe.

“Damn it, it's really possible that's the case, damn it, then, doesn't that mean that the horse-man will come again and continue to execute one of us?”

“It should be like this. Each of us may die in the next roll call. Damn it, are they treating us like pigs to be slaughtered?” The Taut Man was already extremely tense at this moment, with fear and anger on his face.

This feeling is the most terrifying and the most annoying. Knowing that the administrator will come to kill, and will definitely come to kill, and that you may be the one being called out, who can calmly think about the problem under this psychological pressure?

The Mature Woman took a deep breath at this time and did not continue to join this meaningless discussion. She also walked into the 'murder scene'.

Inside, 'Robber', Affinity, and Hook Nose had already begun to investigate the scene.

On the floor of the house, there really was a corpse.

This set is carefully made.

They are all 'real things'.

But in essence, this is still a 'reasoning plot game' framework.

The corpse was female, wearing a silk pajamas. Judging from the furniture decoration, she lived a prosperous life. The three who came in before were carefully investigating the scene. Some were observing the corpse, some were checking the traces on the bedroom and the floor, and some were standing in the kitchen.

Of the original nine people, one died, leaving eight.

The strengths and weaknesses of these eight people are already very obvious.

Robber, Affinity, and Hook Nose are definitely in the first tier.

Their psychological qualities are strong, and their observation and analytical abilities far exceed those of others.

Especially 'Robber'.

The mature woman had actually been observing the other party. Earlier, the administrator had suddenly called out the 'high school girl' for execution. At the moment the gun went off, everyone was stunned. In that instant, the surprise and fear in their eyes were impossible to hide.

But in the 'robber's' eyes, there was no emotion whatsoever.

No surprise, no fear, not even the gruesome, bloody moment of death could cause any ripple in this person's heart.

It was as if an ant had died, not worth mentioning.

"I'm playing a madman, but he might really be one!" the mature woman defined the 'robber'.

"Judging from the stiffness of the body, the time of death was six hours ago. Based on the time on the clock in the scene, it was between 8 and 9 PM. The cause of death was mechanical asphyxia. There are some wounds on the body, but none are fatal. Also, there's a ring mark on the right ring finger, and there are also traces of skin damage, which should have been caused by someone forcibly pulling off the ring. There's a faint smell of alcohol in the corpse's mouth and nose, although it's very faint, it's possible they drank alcohol before death!" the affable man said, having squatted next to the body for a long time examining it.

"There are no signs of forced entry on the doors and windows, so it wasn't an outsider. In addition, there are two sets of tea sets on the living room table, and there are torn tea bags in the kitchen trash can. If the deceased was the mistress of the house, then she was likely entertaining a guest at the time, at least someone she knew, so the possibility of an acquaintance committing the crime is very high. Also, I found an opened bottle of alcoholic beverage in the cabinet, which also matches the speculation that the deceased drank alcohol before death," the hook-nosed man also explained his observations.

Luo Xi didn't speak.

He agreed with the affable man and the hook-nosed man's observations.

If he were to say it, it would be the same.

"The situation is quite obvious. An acquaintance committed the crime. The gold and silver jewelry found under the bed of the other female resident next door was probably because the female neighbor next door came to visit in the evening, and the sight of wealth aroused a temporary intention to kill and rob. So, she killed the mistress of the house here and stole the gold and silver jewelry. The situation at the scene also fits this deduction."

The affable man finished speaking and glanced at Luo Xi.

He wanted to hear this person's opinion.

The newest novels are first published at Six/Nine/Book/Bar!

It's just that Luo Xi had no intention of speaking.

Neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"If we know who committed the murder and then inform the enforcers of the result, wouldn't that be considered passing the level? And we can also stop the administrator from continuing to call out names for execution," the mature woman said at this time.

Based on the situation in the set, it is indeed necessary to deduce the details of the murder and the suspect.

When the administrator announced the start of the second round of the game, he didn't explain the rules of the game, nor did he mention how to pass the level. Currently, it seems that it is necessary to guess the plot based on the situation in the set, so as to deduce the goal to be achieved in this game.

Because only by achieving the goal is it possible to interrupt the administrator's name-calling mechanism.

This is consistent with the administrator's previous description of the second round of the game, that is, 'whether or not you choose to participate, the plot will continue to move forward'. The murder case in the scene and the administrator's name-calling execution both belong to the 'continuous advancement of the plot'.

If you want to interrupt it, you can only achieve the result required by the plot.

"We can try it, because the administrator is now playing the role of 'enforcer'. One of his known rules of conduct is to follow 'name-calling execution', but arresting the real murderer must also be the enforcer's goal, so according to common sense analysis, as long as we provide the conclusion of the murder case, the administrator should stop 'name-calling execution'. I think this logic is correct," the affable man also said. The hook-nosed man over there didn't raise any objections either.

Obviously, he also agreed with this logic.

"Robber, what do you think?" Seeing that Luo Xi hadn't expressed his opinion, the mature woman couldn't help but ask directly.

On this point, women have a natural advantage.

They don't need to worry about so-called 'face' at all, and they don't have any concerns. They ask whatever they want.

Luo Xi nodded.

Was that considered agreement?

Everyone actually breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They feared 'Luo Xi', because this guy never played by the rules, and this person was 'violent' and 'cold-blooded', but it was undeniable that the 'robber's' abilities in all aspects were very strong.

This was already a consensus among everyone.

Simply put, it was a kind of 'trust', a kind of dependence that 'if he thinks it's like this, then it must be right'.

It's just that the next moment, Luo Xi's words stunned everyone.

"I agree with the deduction that 'solving the case' and providing valuable clues can change the 'enforcer's' rules of conduct, but the premise is that the provided clues to solve the case must be correct!"

The few people were stunned after hearing this.

It took a long time to react.

The affable man turned his head to look over: "Are you saying that there's a problem with our previous reasoning? The murderer isn't the female neighbor next door?"
