The speed of the players varies from fast to slow, some have already closed the door, and some have just walked in.

Number eight and number four are the latter.

Therefore, both of them were stunned by Xu Shu and Ji Chuan's actions.

They stared blankly at the two until the door began to close gradually.

There was no time to communicate, and everyone returned to the room at the last moment.

Xu Shu leaned against the wall and heaved a sigh of relief. After waiting for a few seconds, he said happily, "Fortunately, I guessed it right."

Yes, they had been misled by the rules until he realized it just now.

Not only him, it should be said that everyone fell into this trap-that is the first sentence of the rule: "Eight players are located in rooms 1-8".

It was this sentence that made everyone subconsciously think that all eight people had to stay in this room when they entered the game, and of course they had to go back to this room when they returned to the room.

So when everyone returned to their rooms last night, they all went directly into the room they came out of.

No one thought about changing rooms or sharing a room with anyone else.

But... Take a closer look, among these rules, there is never a sentence that stipulates that players must stay in a specific room, nor does it say that each player must be in a room!

As long as you can enter the room before closing the door, no matter which room it is, no matter how many people there are, it should be fine!

This is also due to Ji Chuan, if he hadn't discovered the loophole in the rules first, Xu Shu might not have thought of it before closing the door tonight.

Just as he was thinking, he saw a faint light suddenly appear in the dark room.

It was Ji Chuan who lit up the phone screen.

But that ball of light was projected from below.

Xu Shu lowered his head in doubt and looked to the left, then he was surprised.

Ji Chuan was sitting on the ground.

His hands grabbed the phone together, like... a drowning man grabs a life-saving straw.

The bright light from the screen was projected into his eyes, reflecting bits and pieces of luster, as if he was trying to absorb the nutrients in the light.

The slightly pursed lips revealed the tension and panic in his heart.

Xu Shu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.

He looked up and looked forward, trying to find No. [-]'s body.

But in such a dark place, the little light on the phone screen was not enough for him to see the situation in the distance clearly, and it was still clear within one or two meters around.

As a last resort, Xu Shu had no choice but to speak to Ji Chuan and said, "There is still a mobile phone here on the [-]st, why don't you hold it up first and use it to take pictures of other places? When you find that mobile phone, two of them together should be enough for a whole year." late."

Ji Chuan directly handed over the phone: "I'm fine."

...The voice is trembling and it's okay.

Xu Shu didn't speak, took the phone and turned on the flashlight as quickly as possible to shine forward.

The body of No. [-] was lying on the bed.

There was no blood around, and the corpse looked very complete, not as badly as the player in the previous game.

Xu Shu quickly walked over and reached out to touch his pockets on both sides, and quickly found his mobile phone.

When he turned back towards Ji Chuan, he realized that he had almost curled up into a ball.

He sat on the ground with his arms tightly wrapped around his knees and his head hung low.The slightly longer bangs cast shadows, leaving mottled marks on his slightly pale face.

His hands were clasped at the elbows, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging. It was unknown how much force he had used.

At this moment, in Xu Shu's mind, Ji Chuan, who was frighteningly ferocious, looked like a weak and helpless child.

How could he be so afraid of the dark?

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, walked over quickly, put the mobile phone with the flashlight turned on in front of him, and said softly, "I found it, this is for you."

When Ji Chuan reached out to pick it up, Xu Shu even noticed that his hand was trembling slightly.

He pretended he didn't see it, and sat next to him with No. [-] mobile phone, and looked through the photo album inside, but he didn't see the video shot today.

This proved that No. [-] had indeed died last night.

Otherwise, neither should there be an extra box of lunch, nor should there be no video.

So... the question now is, why did No. [-] die?

What is considered taboo in this game should be stealing supplies from outside or lying to others, right?

However, Xu Shu held up his mobile phone and searched around the room, only to find an empty lunch box.

It was a box of lunch I got yesterday morning on the [-]st, and there was nothing else.

Yesterday, No. [-] also said that when he went out, there were only eight boxes of lunch outside. Judging from the situation in the room, he didn't lie either.

So his death is definitely not because of these two reasons.

But apart from these two possibilities, what else could be taboo?

He returned to Ji Chuan, turned off the cell phone in his hand, and meditated silently.

At this time, Ji Chuan asked, "What did you find?"

Probably because the light was much brighter than before, and his voice sounded a lot more stable.

Xu Shu explained the situation and guessed, "Since it has been proved that No. [-] really didn't lie and didn't take anything away, the possibility that No. [-] is a ghost is almost [-]%."

But is it that simple?

Could it be that the only difficulty in this mission is the loophole in the rules?

But even if no one finds this loophole, and the first and second numbers made inconsistent statements on the first day, it would be easy for players to find it.

Just like today, if No. [-] hadn't interrupted, maybe No. [-] would have successfully ended the mission.

Thinking of this, Xu Shu felt very strange.

Since No. [-] is an old player who has experienced five missions, why did he make a move to block No. [-]?

Regardless of whether No. [-] is a ghost or not, letting No. [-] expose No. [-] is a very beneficial thing for other players...

A rustling sound came from the side, Xu Shu turned his head, and saw Ji Chuan took out the paper with the rules written on it, and handed it directly to him.

He said, "Look again."

Xu Shu responded, took it and read it carefully word by word.

He purposely read it aloud, which can also distract Ji Chuan, and maybe he won't be so afraid of the dark.

A short paragraph of rules was repeated twice by him.

It wasn't until the third time that Xu Shu stopped when he read the sentence "Who leaves early or returns late, dies".

Almost at the moment he stopped, Ji Chuan also said: "Stop."

When the two looked at each other, they knew that the other party had also paid attention to this problem.

It was Xu Shu who spoke first: "It is possible for those who return late to die, but each room will only be opened at a specific time period. Before that, players can't open the door in advance. Where is the 'early departure'?"

Ji Chuan nodded.

Xu Shu said again: "So, there is a problem with this game rule itself. A wrong game rule, do players still need to abide by it?"

He seemed to be about to catch something, just a little bit away.

He had a hunch that this game would be over if it was just a little bit closer!

"The rules are false." Ji Chuan said hoarsely.

Yes, the rules are bogus!

Xu Shu was so excited that he almost jumped up: "That's right! That's right, this rule doesn't exist at all! From the very beginning, we have only one rule of the game, which is what the notice said—"Find out the ghost hidden among the players." '!"

All have been lied to.

Think about it carefully, since the notification sound can directly announce the mission, why not let it tell the rules, but distribute it to the players separately?

If the rules of the game were really issued by the system, how could there be such a big mistake?

The only possibility is...

Xu Shu realized that he was a little too excited, so he calmed down and coughed twice, and then said: "Then the so-called rules are something that ghosts created to confuse us. In this game, ghosts need one-to-many to play with us." Psychological warfare, so it does not have an advantage in numbers, so the system gives it privileges far higher than players, allowing it to set traps for players."

Including changes in materials outside, and the iron door that only opens at a specific time.

In this way, the seven players can be separated, so that ghosts can play tricks on them!

If it is explained in this way, even the fact that the descriptions between the first and second yesterday are contradictory can make sense.

The ghost deliberately made the two of them see different things outside, making other players suspicious of the two, and then...

Xu Shu thought of this, and hissed: "I seem to know what the taboo is, it is—"

He looked at Ji Chuan, just about to continue, but found that he was leaning against the wall and fell asleep.

Even though he had already fallen asleep, he still held the mobile phone with the flash light on firmly in his hand.

His eyes were tightly closed, his brows were slightly furrowed, his eyelashes fluttered a few times from time to time, and he didn't seem to be sleeping peacefully.

Xu Shu swallowed what he hadn't finished speaking, and quietly moved to the side.

The room suddenly became quiet, so quiet that only the sound of his own breathing remained.

He yawned, and leaned against the wall, planning to sleep for a while.

While Xu Shu was half asleep and half awake, he suddenly heard Ji Chuan say something in a low voice.

He thought Ji Chuan was talking to him, so he opened his eyes and looked over, but saw that the other party still had his eyes closed, his brows were furrowed more than before, and his dry mouth opened and closed, as if he was still talking .

Is this talking in your sleep?

Xu Shu became a little curious, and quietly moved closer to that side. After listening carefully for a while, he finally heard a sentence——

"I didn't, I really didn't kill them..."

them?who?

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows suspiciously, and moved a little towards Ji Chuan, wanting to get closer to listen.

But at this moment, Ji Chuan suddenly opened his eyes, and almost at the same time, he swung his fist.

Caught off guard, Xu Shu was punched before he could react.

He only felt that his left shoulder was hit by a hammer, and the pain made him cry out in pain.

Ji Chuan just subconsciously attacked the person close to him, and by the time he realized it, the punch had already been delivered.

He looked at Xu Shu who was grinning in front of him, frowned and asked, "Why are you so close to me?"

Xu Shu: "...Nothing, I just think you look good."

"Do you want to suffer again?"

"No, no, no." Xu Shu took a few steps back and said, "Actually, I want to discuss the game with you! I know what taboos are, and I almost know who ghosts are!"
