The Trial Game of Life

It was almost six o'clock in the morning, and without Li Yingjun's knock on the door, everyone woke up one by one.Qian Wei just woke up and sneezed a lot. He turned his head and saw the extinguished bonfire. He trembled and wanted to light it, but found that he was already frozen, and it took him a long time to recover.

Zhao Ping was the closest to the bonfire, so he barely lit it.When the warmth came again, everyone felt much more comfortable.

Tang Cuo is not very good.

His hands and feet were cold, not simply because of being frozen, but also because of his own constitution.Barely supporting himself to sit up, he took out the chocolate beans and poured two into his mouth, then used the remaining half bottle of potion as water, and chewed all the chocolate beans like taking medicine.

After two pills, two more pills, until the sweet taste filled his mouth, and his HP recovered to more than 10%, Tang Cuo's complexion turned pale.It's just that the sickness between the brows has worsened after all.

"Can you still go?" Jin Cheng knelt beside him on one knee, frowning.

"I can't die." Tang Cuo's tone was flat, he paused, he took out the hand warmer from his arms and shook it, "Thanks."

Jin Cheng didn't say anything else, turned around and took out a few pieces of dried meat and threw it to Peng Mingfan, "Take it and make some broth, and go back when you're full."

This time they were well prepared. Not only did they bring jerky, but they also prepared pots, bowls and seasonings.Although the food made is not delicious, it is already a great enjoyment to drink a bowl of hot soup in the freezing cold weather.

It was already the early morning of the next day, and Li Yingjun had probably finished collecting firewood and returned to the hotel. Zhang Zhiqiu had disappeared, so everyone was in no hurry. They drank hot soup and asked why Tang Cuo was in a hurry to go back last night.

"Why did you go back to find Zhang Zhiyu? You found a way to keep him from disappearing?" Peng Mingfan asked.Qian Wei and the others also looked at him hopefully, not because they cared about Zhang Zhiqi, but because their lips were dead and their teeth were cold.

Tang Cuo said, "That's not Zhang Zhiqi."

Qian Wei: "Huh?"

An Ning showed eagerness: "What do you mean?"

"It means——" Jin Cheng put on a long tone, then suddenly smiled, "Li Yingjun didn't die at all, he never died, that's why the game has never been cleared."

No, what the hell are you talking about?

Qian Wei, An Ning, and Zhao Ping were stunned, and even Peng Mingfan frowned.

Jin Cheng smiled and said, "It's actually very simple."

Tang Cuo huddled in his military coat with the soup bowl in his hand, and automatically turned on the energy-saving mode, "Say it."

Jin Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Why did I say it again?"

Tang Cuo: "Didn't you see that I'm about to die?"

Please tell me!

Maybe it was because the people who eat melons were too eager, Jin Cheng cleared his throat, and finally got back to the topic, "Li Yingjun's course of action is very simple, he returns to the hotel at six o'clock every morning, kills a player, switches identities with that player, and then Under the guise of this identity, he personally killed the 'Li Yingjun' pretended by the player to hide it from the world. When everyone fell asleep at night, he carried the body out and destroyed the body."

wait, what are you talking about?

Qian Wei's eyes widened, his tongue tied, "Swap identities? Who kills whom?"

"Tsk." The corners of Jin Cheng's mouth pressed down, showing impatience written on the small half of his face, "Did I not speak clearly enough? Which word do you not understand?"

I know every word, but I don't know when they are combined together, big brother!

Qian Wei really wanted to just shout like that, but this elder brother acted like he would beat you to death if you dared to say a word, which made him hold back.

However, Tang Cuo glanced at Jin Cheng suspiciously. The familiar particles, the familiar intonation and even the familiar narration mode made him inevitably sound alone.

Speaking of it, Tang Cuo sometimes likes to say "tsk", which is the torment he suffered during adolescence.

Thinking of this, Tang Cuo looked away from Jin Cheng, looked at Peng Mingfan, and said, "This is indeed a reasoning copy, yes, there is no setting that Li Yingjun will disappear after killing Li Yingjun, and there is no death cycle. Although the exchange of codes is unreasonable and requires the help of some kind of supernatural power or cover-up, it also leaves us with loopholes, and what we need to do is to rely on these loopholes to reveal the truth about Li Yingjun's crime."

Peng Mingfan opened his mouth slightly.

If what Jin Cheng said is true, then Li Yingjun's murder plan is perfect, he managed to make all the players think that his side killed him, but in reality?

It was Li Yingjun who killed the players one by one.

Tang Cuo continued: "So far, there are three dead, Qu Li, Li Shuangshuang, and Zhang Zhiju. Let me talk about Qu Li first, she is just a cover, she is an NPC, and she will not die at all. The reason why Li Yingjun wants to use her to set up this situation , Let us see his death at the beginning, and come back to life the next day, just to let us have a preconceived judgment."

Preconception is a terrible thing, it will directly affect people's judgment, and then blur the truth.

"As for Li Shuangshuang and Zhang Zhiyu, before they killed Yingjun, they both placed orders. Li Yingjun probably took the opportunity to exchange with them at this time. Then he returned to us in front of their faces in a grandiose manner, and then Murder. We didn't find any clues because Li Yingjun was dumb, 'he' didn't say a word until he was killed."

Hearing this, An Ning remembered the scene of going to the bathroom to find Li Shuangshuang the day before yesterday, and suddenly became enlightened.

"I remembered! At that time, Li Shuangshuang went to the bathroom. I saw her not coming back and went to find her. When I passed by the linen room, I looked in through the small window on the door. At that time, Li Yingjun kept rushing at me. Ahhh, the eyes are extremely terrified. Thinking about it now, when Li Yingjun was tied up by us, he was not so flustered. At that time... At that time, the person inside was already Li Shuangshuang?!"

After the words fell, the rest of the people's scalps went numb.

But An Ning thought of something else, "And the ventilation fan in the toilet cubicle! That ventilation fan leads to the linen room! Li Shuangshuang went to the toilet, and the reason why he didn't notice and couldn't call for help, maybe it was Li Yingjun who came from the toilet. That ventilation fan got into the toilet and took her down from behind without anyone noticing it!"

So far, Li Shuangshuang's death has been basically clear.No matter whether Li Yingjun covered her mouth from behind or made her dumb, all in all, she couldn't call for help.

Li Yingjun disguised her as herself and threw her into the linen room. She asked An Ning for help, but An Ning did not recognize her.Then Li Yingjun came back and stabbed her to death with a broom handle.

"Let's talk about Zhang Zhiyu." Tang Cuo put down the soup bowl and sat up straight. "When we found him in the kitchen, he was asleep. When he woke up, he found himself speechless and terrified. Among them The poison is probably not any other poison, but to poison his throat. After all of you rushed to the kitchen, he rushed towards you madly, and it was none other than Li Yingjun in the crowd."

Peng Mingfan took a breath, "That's right, even if he didn't know that he had turned into Li Yingjun, he must have understood something when he saw himself appearing in the crowd again, but he was speechless, and this when--"

The fake Zhang Zhiyu rushed forward and stabbed him to death.

Zhao Ping murmured: "No wonder... no wonder they seem to have changed before and after..."

As he said that, he couldn't help but ask again: "But based on this alone, how can we conclude that it's an exchange of identities?"

"Because of the powder, and also because of Qu Li." Tang Cuo said.

"I sprinkled developer powder all over the hotel, but why is there no powder on the shoes of Li Shuangshuang's corpse? Obviously 'she' carried Li Yingjun's body out of the hotel. It’s so clean that there’s not even a trace of it in the pit where the corpse was buried, but Li Yingjun got it on his feet.” Jin Cheng finally said a few words, “There can only be one reason—Li Shuangshuang’s body was buried by Li Yingjun. On her back, her feet didn't touch the ground at all."

Zhao Ping was slightly startled, then dumbfounded.

Peng Mingfan hurriedly asked, "What about Qu Li?"

Tang Cuo said: "Do you still remember the first time I met her yesterday, what was the first sentence she said when she saw me?"

Someone was far away and didn't hear it, but Jin Cheng heard it, and she said - "Why are you here!"

"She was surprised when she saw me, not why I was in the woods, but why I appeared in this copy. The Qu Li we met on the first day was not really Qu Li, but Li Yingjun."

At first Tang Cuo really thought that it was because of his personality that Qu Li ignored him and did not reveal his identity as a newcomer.When they first met in the square, Qu Li had such an aloof and unreasonable personality.

But after meeting her again in the forest, Tang Cuo felt something was wrong.Until last night, Qu Li appeared again, leading Jin Cheng to find Li Shuangshuang's body, and Tang Cuo finally confirmed that the original Qu Li was a fake.

She recognized Tang Cuo in the forest, perhaps because she understood her situation and was not reconciled, or perhaps because she was thinking of the friendship of her fellow students, she helped her.

Jin Cheng said that the players who died during the mission would become complete NPCs, but now it seems that Qu Li is still in the process of transformation and has not completely lost her will.

Maybe after that newcomer's induction training is over, she will become another Madoka.

Tang Cuo finally said: "This can also explain why Li Yingjun, as a boss with high combat effectiveness, can be easily killed. Also, he is not dumb at all."

So far, all the truth has surfaced, and there is no doubt about it.

As a result, there was a long silence in the cave, especially for Zhao Ping.Anyone who thinks that the teammate who has been with him for most of the day is actually pretended by the "dead man", and he is still played by the other party in the applause, will not feel good.

This brings not only resentment, but also fear.

"Siege and kill Li Yingjun immediately after returning. There is only one requirement - not to place orders." Tang Cuo said solemnly.Once someone is ordered, they can be killed, and if they are careless and don't notice that someone is ordered, then the game becomes guess who I am.

To make matters worse, Tang Cuo was afraid that Li Yingjun would use the system to open his eyes, and already knew that they had guessed the truth.

Because yesterday's "falling asleep" was too timely.

If Li Yingjun finds out, he must abandon his previous approach and adopt plan B.Put Tang Cuo in Li Yingjun's position, this planB will wait for an opportunity to replace a player, mix in with the player, and fight back in one fell swoop.

And Li Yingjun is a boss with a high IQ, there is no doubt about it.

Half an hour later, everyone was mentally prepared and set foot on their way home.Because they came out from the back door, so this time they went back through the front door.

Just like last time, Madoka was alone in the hall.No one died this time, Xiaoyuan hummed happily while cleaning the table, and when she opened the door for them, she said as if nothing happened: "You guys are back."

An Ning asked, "Do you know we've gone out?"

Xiaoyuan smiled, "I see that you are not here, so I know you must have gone for a walk."

Hearing this, Qian Weideng rolled his eyes quite a bit. It was the first time he had encountered such a careless NPC after doing several missions.But Xiaoyuan is not the main thing, he hurriedly asked: "Where is Li Yingjun? Has he returned from collecting firewood?"

"He's back, he went to put firewood in the back." Xiaoyuan said, looking behind them, wondering: "Hey, are you the only three back? Are there others?"

That's right, only Qian Wei, An Ning and Peng Mingfan entered the door.As for where the others went, Peng Mingfan pushed his glasses, so naturally he wouldn't tell her.

At the back door, Tang Cuo and Zhao Ping squatted behind the sundry shed.Although they also came from the main entrance, it is still possible to go around from the main entrance to the back entrance. There will only be Xiaoyuan and Li Yingjun in the hotel on the left and right, so there is no need to be too cautious.

The two listened carefully to the movement at the back door, and they could confirm that Li Yingjun was not in the sundry shed either.

Tang Cuo couldn't help but looked up to the side, Jin Cheng was going through the window on the side of the hotel with a vigorous figure.Entering that window is the corridor on the second floor, and the stairs are on the right.

Six people, divided into three groups.While trying not to leave alone, search for Li Yingjun's whereabouts from everywhere.

After waiting for 5 minutes, Jin Cheng poked his head out of the window again and shook his head with Tang Cuo - Li Yingjun was not on the second floor.

Qian Wei's stomach yelled loudly from the room, it seemed that Li Yingjun was not on the first floor either.

Tang Cuo narrowed his eyes slightly.

The division of troops into three groups is actually a test, to test whether Li Yingjun has changed his murder plan.I can't find anyone else now, most likely they hid on purpose, just waiting for the black hands to be played behind the scenes.

But where would he hide?

Tang Cuo was deep in thought, but his expression remained calm.

Zhao Ping squatted quietly, not daring to disturb him, only paying attention to the movement around him.He still remembered what Jin Cheng told him just now, telling him to watch Tang Cuo carefully.Although Tang Cuo was vigorous, he didn't seem to be in a good state.Unless necessary, their group tried not to confront Li Yingjun head-on.

One minute later, Madoka walked into the kitchen and appeared in sight of the two of them.From their angle, they could see the kitchen window. Although there was frost around the window frame, they could barely see what was going on inside.

Xiaoyuan hummed and walked to the refrigerator, first opened the refrigerator to have a look, then took out some ingredients and washed them, and went to the chopping board to cook.It's all normal, nothing special.

And at this moment, Xiaoyuan picked up the kitchen knife, held the handle of the knife and weighed it.This subconscious action made Tang Cuo frown instantly, and a flash of light suddenly appeared in his head——

"Handsome Li!"

Tang Cuo had seen Xiaoyuan cooking before, and she didn't have this subconscious action. In fact, very few girls would hold the kitchen knife to test the feel before cutting vegetables.

Having figured this out, Tang Cuo immediately raised his head to look at the window on the second floor, raised his hand to make a circle with Jin Cheng, and then pointed in the direction of the kitchen.

Jin Cheng understood, and his figure instantly disappeared from the window.

In what Zhao Ping and Tang Cuo couldn't see, Jin Cheng put his hands in his trouser pockets, and the 1.9-meter tall man walked slowly, calmly with a bit of arrogance.

After a while, he went down the stairs and met Peng Mingfan and the three in the hall.None of the four said anything, Jin Cheng winked at the kitchen, Peng Mingfan pushed his glasses and pondered for a second, and looked round again with searching eyes.

Jin Cheng nodded, a child can be taught.

The three of them stepped forward and were about to go with Jin Cheng.However, Jin Cheng shook his head at this moment, glanced over one by one, finally pointed at Peng Mingfan and An Ning, and said, "You guys continue to look for Li Yingjun."

Looking for Li Yingjun means looking for the real Madoka.For the ultimate purpose, it is not advisable to allow any flaws to exist.

The labor group of four had already developed great trust in Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng, and immediately nodded solemnly.Qian Wei followed Jin Cheng to the door of the kitchen. He was both excited and a little apprehensive, and lowered his voice, "Now?"

Jin Cheng was very casual and pushed the door open.

"Squeak." The moment the door opened, Madoka heard the sound and turned around.

Jin Cheng leaned on the door frame and asked with a smile, "What are you eating today?"

Xiaoyuan scratched her head, "Potato beef stew."

At the same time, the figures of Tang Cuo and Zhao Ping appeared outside the window.Through a window, Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng met their gazes—do it now?
