God does not love the world [unlimited]

Shi Yu ignored him, walked to the side of the corpse, first looked at the severely disfigured face of the other party, and then at the unmoving player bracelet of the other party, and left the house with an umbrella.

This is an empty house that has been abandoned for some reason, and there are already other residents attracted by the noise outside the door.

He Wei always pays attention to avoiding other people's eyes: "Is this the end?"

"Ah."

When going out, some officers and soldiers just came in. Shi Yu lowered the eaves of the umbrella and walked around the yard, and heard the group of people discussing as they passed the threshold:

"How many times is this today?"

"It's the fourth time. Even the method of death is the same. They are all burned to death."

"Who on earth has such a great ability to set fires everywhere in the capital? It's impossible to be punished by the god bird like those people reported, right?"

"It's not a big deal for the dead in the capital. What's important is that there are such corpses in the palace."

"The palace? Where?"

"Outside the hunting ground, in the chicken coop."

"How did I hear it was on the southern palace wall?"

"Where did you hear the news about the palace wall?"

"A buddy of mine is serving in the Royal Forest Army in the palace. I heard from him that this afternoon, it seems that a divine bird intends to attack one of their colleagues. Fortunately, the other one arrived in time and brought him down. He just passed out for a while. Nothing major happened."

"So many died after being attacked by the divine bird, that buddy is really lucky."

"..."

He Weiyou thought of the guard who was knocked unconscious by Jiang Jiaying because he accidentally saw him.

After a long time, the other party asked the two of them to leave quickly but he stayed because he came up with such an excuse in a flash, thinking that it would be difficult for them to lie at the scene... Fortunately, he was still moved in his heart for a second.

"Who?!"

He Wei's thoughts were interrupted, so he quickly raised his head.

It was the arrester wearing the official uniform of the yamen who was walking towards him. He was about to surround the house and prohibit ordinary people from entering, but he saw them in the yard and asked, "Who are you?"

Shi Yu stopped, holding the handle of the umbrella without moving.

He Weiyou watched the arrester getting closer and closer, then looked at the silent man next to him, stepped forward and walked out of the range of the parachute, and smiled at the arrester: "This official, are we watching?" If there is any movement here, come and have a look if you are curious."

The policeman's voice was sharp: "Movement? What did you see?!"

"Divine bird, we saw a divine bird." He Weiyou tried his best to block the catcher's sight, "It's so big, there are fires on its wings and feathers, and it will..."

Shi Yu raised the handle of the umbrella, pointed it at the back of the policeman's head and smashed it down.

"boom--"

He Weiyou's voice stopped abruptly: "Why are you beating him?"

Shi Yu dragged the arrester to the eaves: "Then you want to stand here with him and wait for other officers and soldiers to come?"

"..."

Shi Yu arranged the arresters and opened the umbrella again: "Let's go."

■

Let's talk about the palace that only appeared in the gossip of officers and soldiers not long ago.

In a flash of inspiration, Jiang Jiaying found a perfect excuse that could explain the guards being knocked out, the assassins escaping, and even the wall collapsing. After dealing with the forbidden soldiers who heard the movement and came to check the situation, they thought it was over.

Unexpectedly, the guard who had been knocked unconscious by him would come to him again at night, first bowed seriously, and then said: "Brother Jiang, thank you for saving me, but I have to transfer to another place." went."

Jiang Jiaying was taken aback when he heard that: "Why?"

Because of Shi Yu's reminder, he originally planned to separate from the other party. It is best to get the other party to the place where the line segment here occupies the longest distance from the palace. After all, he knocked out the other party's person.

But now he hasn't figured out what reason he should use to apply to the commander of the imperial army, and the other party has already written all the strokes for him before he even writes the horoscope?

The guard scratched his head: "Cough... Isn't it because I was attacked by the bird of God at the edge of this wall, and it seems that it is not good to stay here to guard."

Jiang Jiaying understood.

Simply put, there is a psychological shadow, so choose from the heart.

The guard was still thinking hard: "I told the commander about it, and the commander..."

Jiang Jiaying looked at a general on the other side who was scratching his head for his words, and said very understandingly: "Okay, I understand."

The guard was taken aback: "You know?"

Jiang Jiaying nodded.

Originally, I was worried about the reason why I would not partner with him in the future, but in the end, this came to my door.

Don't be in vain.

The guard bowed again, nothing more than to thank the other party for saving him and to help the other party in trouble in the future.

Jiang Jiaying, the culprit, accepted all the orders without any guilt, and asked casually: "By the way, where did the commander transfer you to?"

"Yuting Palace." The guard said, "It's in the north of the palace, far away from here. But there happened to be few guards there, so I was transferred there."

■

After He Weiyou returned to the inn, he didn't even enter his own room, and went directly into Shi Yu's room: "Those officers and soldiers said that this is the fourth time they were burned to death, and those four times were all done by Chongming?"

Shi Yu put away the umbrella, and the rain dripped down along the ribs of the umbrella: "Yes."

He Weiyou watched him hang the umbrella on the wooden pole by the door: "It's a pity I got up so early today, but I didn't see it once."

Shi Yu pulled back the chair: "It may have happened last night or this afternoon."

It was only then that He Weiyou remembered that they basically spent this afternoon in the cell and the palace.

Shi Yu sat down at the table, took out a white porcelain bottle, took a tool, took a tube of lamp oil and dripped it into the lamp, lit the lighter, and just now said: "Do you still remember when it appeared on the wall of the imperial palace before Chongming?"

He Weiyou racked his brains: "It was dark at that time, and it was full of dark clouds, at least it was night."

Shi Yu took out the sketchbook and flipped to a new page: "What if I want to set a certain time?"

He Weiyou felt like a student who was called up by the teacher to answer questions: "Six o'clock? Seven o'clock?"

Shi Yu stuffed the cap of the pen to the end, and looked up at him.

"Seven o'clock." He Weiyou swallowed, "The sun was already setting when I ran out of the cell."

Shi Yu: "Then what time did Chongming suddenly attack the player this afternoon?"

"Weishi? Wasn't there an eyewitness who said that at that time? Looking at the clock, it happened to be one o'clock in the afternoon."

"When you attacked me last night?"

He Weiyou faintly realized something: "The waiter from the store came to deliver hot water at Haishi, that is, nine o'clock in the evening, and I was still chatting with you in bed for so long, so it was almost eleven o'clock when Chongming appeared?"

He suddenly recalled: "Also just now, when the pirate captain died it was the time of day, so the time for Zhongming to attack the players is not random, but regular? Once every hour?!"

Shi Yu shook her head: "Every two hours."

"why?"

"There are only twelve players."

He Weiyou's back suddenly felt cold.

There are only twelve players, but there are 24 hours a day. On average, they attack one person every two hours.

If you can escape, you will survive the catastrophe, but if you cannot escape, you will become that charred corpse on the street.

He settled down: "Chongming kills a player every two hours. We just need to pay attention to the time and prepare to defend when the time point of every two hours is almost up?"

Shi Yu lowered his head and drew a big circle on the paper: "You don't need to defend every time."

"why?"

"Just wait until it's time for Chongming to attack you."

He Weiyou understood the meaning of his words: "You mean there are still rules on who the Chongming Bird attacks?!"

"The time you were attacked this afternoon was Xu time." Shi Yu began to draw small circles one by one in the big circle, "Then why didn't Chongming attack you last night?"

"Isn't it because Chongming's attack is random? I just happened to miss me last night."

"Then why was there no light and shadow of the Chongming bird falling above the chicken farm for more than ten hours during the day when I first entered the game yesterday?"

He Weiyou stared at him blankly.

"Twelve players, each managing a chicken farm. Although there are trees outside the building to block the line of sight, since you can freely come and go between different chicken farms, it shows that the emperor has not restricted chicken farmers from communicating with each other. The distance between two chicken farms will not be too far, and most players will not move too far away when they first enter the game. If there is a Chongming bird attacking, the nearby natural light should not be invisible when the sky is completely dark. Why didn't you see it?"

Shi Yu finished drawing twelve small circles, and gave a direct answer: "I tend to think that the Chongming Bird hadn't started attacking players at that time, just like in general supernatural film and television works, there is always a period of safety at the beginning."

He Wei asked subconsciously: "So the beginning is..."

"I tend to start with me last night."

"why?"

"Because you were not attacked at Xushi yesterday, and you didn't hear anyone outside talking about the phantom of a Chongming bird appearing above the abandoned house a hundred meters away at Haishi." Shi Yu wrote his name in one of the circles, " Of course, there is another point, the time when I was attacked was Zishi, and it was also the beginning of a new day."

He Weiyou swallowed.

"As for the order of attacks, obviously, it is also based on time. If each player is attacked by Chongming at a specific point in time, I don't think it is a random arrangement. It means that Chongming fixed the players according to a certain condition before the game started. order of death."

He Wei subconsciously said: "According to what?"

"The location of the chicken circle." Shi Yu wrote the names of the twelve players in the small circle, and replaced those who didn't know the names with one, two, three, and then wrote down the twelve earthly branches in order on the outside of the big circle, followed by a "chi la" .

He Weiyou took the blank paper he tore off.

Rather than drawing a circle on this paper, it is more like drawing a clock. The 360 ​​degrees are evenly divided into twelve scales, and the twelve numbers on the clock are aligned, but each scale is marked with an earthly branch. time pronoun.

Like a neatly carved sundial.

Zi time is north, noon is south, unitary time is west, and mao time is east.

The tip of the pen landed on the top of the sundial, and then moved clockwise: "If the order of time passes, the heavy attack should be me first, then you, and finally the deceased just now."

Shi Yu's attack by Chongming was Zishi, He Weiyou was Xushi, and the player who just died was Haishi.

"You said before that the chicken pen you are in is to the southwest of me. When you followed the compass to find me, you passed the chicken pen of the player with the birthmark on his face."

Zishi is in the north of the sundial, and Xushi is in the northwest.

He Weiyou's location happened to be to the southwest of Shi Yu.

And the only Earthly Branch Haishi between the two corresponds to the player with the birthmark on his face.
