Instance game: I signed a pact with the gods, and the gods accused me of cheating

"Because when I was checking Room 8 just now, I found that the things in the box were gone. This is the core of the dungeon to encourage players to kill each other. Weapons will be left in everyone's room to promote infighting among players."

"Plus, on the surface, becoming (the murderer) gives you the ability to move freely at night, which is indeed an advantage. If most players cannot act as (detectives) to find the (murderer) hiding among the players, their first thought is probably to join the team if they can't beat them."

"The first person to realize this will definitely choose to find an opportunity to join the murderer's camp."

"If someone dies the next day, everyone will go to check each room. If someone's weapon shows signs of use or disappears, the identity of the murderer will be exposed in a minute. So from the murderer's perspective, in order not to expose himself, the easiest way is to use weapons in other rooms to kill people."

"But don't all the doors of these rooms open after 12:00? If he didn't become (the murderer) during the day, then this person would fall asleep at 12:00 sharp as night falls. He doesn't have the ability to move freely like us!"

Jiang Qiqi's voice was filled with confusion and bewilderment.

The King of Thunder and Lightning seemed to be in deep thought, and after a long while he sighed softly.

"Wrong!"

"That person only needs to find a way to get rid of someone before midnight, and he will automatically obtain the same identity as us (murderer). At that time, he can move freely. I am 80% sure that there are more than just the two of us (murderers) in this castle now."

"Because the door of Room 8 will only be opened after midnight, if someone wants to frame the people in Room 8, they have to wait until after midnight. But except for (the murderer), no one else can move around after nightfall. And we have never been to Room 8. In other words, there are more people in this copy who can move freely after nightfall than you and me."

"In this instance, a third (murderer) has appeared. We may both be in danger, because if (the murderer) wants to attack civilians and detectives next, he may need to resort to a referendum. However, if (the murderer) attacks other (murderers) to reduce his suspicion and even shift the blame to civilians and detectives, he will not have any psychological burden if he attacks them, causing conflicts and causing them to fight each other..."

The recording ended here. After listening to it, Qin Shang fell into a daze.

No, Jiang Qiqi and the King of Thunder and Lightning had actually been to this instance before! ?

"Why is it that every dungeon I went to was explored by them? Even this time, I inherited his dungeon mission as a 'martial artist with brains', and the S-level dungeon I entered was also a dungeon that Jiang Qiqi and the Lightning Master had cleared before?"

This strange feeling did not last long, and Qin Shang lowered his head and pondered the information given in the recorder.

This thing is now considered half of Qin Shang's golden finger. With the recordings of Jiang Qiqi and the King of Thunder and Lightning, it can help Qin Shang avoid some risks and even provide some clues.

Thinking of this, he began to summarize the contents of the recording.

"Yes, this game is obviously more advantageous to (the murderer), so if someone has a good brain and can figure out the hidden rules, he or she will want to join (the murderer's) camp right away."

"But this is not an easy task. After all, except for the fraudster player who is targeted by the dungeon at the beginning and is designated as the (murderer), others need to automatically switch to the (murderer) identity after committing the crime."

"It's not easy to commit a crime during the day. If you're not careful, you'll be seen by other players. Although this castle covers a large area, there aren't many places where you can actually commit a crime. Whether it's the kitchen, the hall on the first floor, or the chapel, they're all completely open-plan."

"That means there might be other witnesses on the fence on the second floor. In other words, the most suitable place to kill someone in this instance is in the room. After all, no one can guarantee that they won't be seen killing someone in an open field."

"But I really didn't expect that this dungeon would actually make other civilian players fall asleep after nightfall. This is really beneficial to (the murderer)..."

Qin Shang frowned, and then suddenly froze as if he had thought of some key point.

"But doesn't this conflict with the rules of the dungeon? When we first entered this dungeon, the rules clearly stated that if a player who is not the (murderer) is active in the castle and is seen by the guards, his identity will be exposed the next day."

"But when the night falls, after 00:00, everyone except (the murderer) will fall asleep in their rooms. Then, other players except the murderer will not be able to move around in the castle. What is the meaning of this rule?"

Qin Shang frowned, apparently discovering something in the rules that made him feel something was wrong.

"However, I can't kill anyone tonight. If I kill someone tonight, I will indirectly expose myself. Even if there is a problem in my initial statement, those people may suspect that I am a bug in the dungeon. The fact that the points are not reset to zero means that I am a fraudster player who actively entered the dungeon."

"But if my points don't change tomorrow, then they won't be able to use the rule from the drawing of lots to determine that I can enter the dungeon with the points I have!"

"Every day a player survives, their points will be doubled!"

Qin Shang almost forgot this rule.

Eighty percent of other people’s points are zero, so they can’t double their points, nor will they be deducted 0.5 points for actively telling others their room number.

It is precisely because of this that Qin Shang speculated that the old man and the man in the windbreaker might actually be telling the truth.

"But if I actually have points tomorrow morning, my points will be doubled. In other words, my two decimal places will not be 0.50 anymore."

"Then I just have to insist that I made a slip of the tongue when I said that we could hold hands and pass the customs, and they have no evidence."

Thinking of this, countless thoughts flashed back and forth in Qin Shang's mind.

"Before the second murderer shows up, I'm courting death if I commit a crime tonight against the wind..."

"In that case, let's first confirm whether the room numbers of the man in the windbreaker and the old man are true. If these two people were telling the truth at the time, we can almost rule out their suspicion."

"In fact, my biggest suspicion is still the girl wearing a mask. However, considering that she can use props and she is an old player, this woman is probably the old player in the dungeon 'Men Can't Make Me Feel Good'."

"But if that's the case, it's going to be troublesome, because it means that the Qingshan Street murderer is really hiding in the dark..."

Qin Shang thought as he bypassed the guards and walked in another direction.

Room 11 and Room 18 are both on the third floor, and Qin Shang quickly arrived at the door of Room 18.

The door here is also ajar. This copy is really explosive.

There is no point hiding in your room at midnight, but this is probably something only players who have experienced the first day will realize.

Because the mechanical door lock, which has a structure similar to that of a card swipe, will directly open the door lock after nightfall.

This means that even if other players hide in the room, they will find it difficult to escape the clutches of the murderer.

At this time, if we don't add some restrictions to the (murderer) player, it will destroy the balance mechanism.

Therefore, Qin Shang particularly agreed with the analysis of the "Thunder King" in the recorder.

"If the old man and the man in the windbreaker are both in the room, we can almost rule out the possibility that the Qingshan Street murderer is one of them..."

However, when Qin Shang opened the door of Room 18, he was surprised to find something.

There was no one in the room...

He was stunned.

"Did the old man lie? His room number is not 18?"

But the next moment, Qin Shang's sight fell on the raised box in the center of the room.

It was when he saw the lid of the box opened that Qin Shang's expression suddenly froze.

The box was opened...

The box was opened and it was empty.

boom--

At this moment, Qin Shang's heart suddenly tightened.

What this means is self-evident. In my copy this time, a second person (murderer) appeared...

His expression froze for a moment.

You know, there was a pistol in the box in Qin Shang's room.

Qin Shang was not sure what was in the boxes in other people's rooms, but it was most likely weapons. The main theme of this copy was to make a group of players who had zero points and had to enter the copy take risks.

In order to earn points for this "human experience card", they ended up killing each other.

"So now the box has been opened, and the owner of the room is not in his room, which indirectly shows that the person has also become (the murderer), otherwise he would not have been able to leave the room after midnight."

Qin Shang's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, and he felt a chill down his spine.

Although the door locks of each room will be opened after 12:00, the boxes will not open by themselves.

Qin Shang had just done an experiment in his room.

The box can only be opened with a small ball representing the room key.

In other words, this box was opened by the owner of Room 18 himself!

His expression changed back and forth for a long time, and he cursed himself for being an idiot in his heart.

Why... I never suspected from the beginning to the end that the old man might be the murderer of Qingshan Street! ?

"I didn't expect that a second (murderer) would appear in my copy, and it turned out to be him..."

Qin Shang's expression changed back and forth, and finally turned into a solemn look;

"Oh no! I have no idea where he is in the castle now. I have to go back quickly!"

"Otherwise, if he goes to my room, he will be able to determine my room number and my (the murderer's) identity. Then tomorrow we will become open-card poker players. Moreover, he, a new player, can prove with conclusive evidence that I am a fraudster. There are only three of us who have leaked the room number."

"Old man, I, the man in the windbreaker, if the old man has become (the murderer), it is likely that the man in the windbreaker was murdered. If I were the old man, I would definitely know that I am not the fraudster in the copy. In other words, from the perspective of the Qingshan Street murderer, there is another (murderer) in this copy."

"Now, in order to test who the fraudster is, he will first find me, who has exposed Room No. 11 in front of everyone."

"No one else knows the room number of Loli and the reporter. Only the reporter knows Loli's room number. The reporter will never tell anyone about it. Otherwise, if Loli dies, he will be the first suspect. This guy will never continue to bring trouble to himself."

"In other words, the reporter and the loli are the safest, and I am the most dangerous now!"

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Qin Shang's forehead.

At the same time, there was a sudden and hurried sound of footsteps in the corridor behind him.

Qin Shang's pupils suddenly contracted.

Damn, he's back! ?

The 'cursed red dress' was instantly put on her body.

Qin Shang didn't hesitate for a second and directly used the [Void] skill to turn into a transparent state.

Then he pushed open the bathroom door and rushed into the bathroom of Room 18, not daring to breathe.

I originally wanted to wait for (the murderer) to come back to see his true face, but the footsteps paused when they reached the door of Room 18.

After seven or eight seconds of silence, room 18 was suddenly kicked open.

The man's deep voice also sounded instantly.

"Who?"

"Get out of the toilet..."

Qin Shang's heart instantly rose to his throat.

He could only see the black muzzle of a gun poking out from the bathroom door, but the other party did not show his face.

Maybe his whole body was hiding behind the wall, and only one hand was sticking out with the gun.

Damn, is this old guy so vigilant?

Qin Shang was certain that if he didn't leave now, he would most likely have a head-on fight with the old man.

Fortunately, the countdown of the [Void] skill has not yet ended. Two seconds is enough for him to accomplish many things at this time.

The next moment, the transparent Qin Shang took out the Demon Slayer.

Accompanied by a wave of spatial ripples, they returned to Room 11.

On the other side, in Room 18, the figure with a gun waited for a moment, but still saw no one making a sound or moving. Then he rushed into the toilet with a gloomy face, but there was nothing in front of him.

When the void skill is activated, everything Qin Shang touches will become transparent.

In addition, he escaped in a very timely manner, so he made the decision in his mind and left without hesitation.

There is no plan to fight with the other party too much...

So when the gunman rushed into the bathroom, he saw nothing.

Only the bathroom door was open...tell him.

Just now, someone came to my room No. 18...
