NO.34 Suspicion
update icon Updated at 2023/6/27 8:10:12

The time unknowingly went to 4:00 a.m. No one slept, and after such a big event, even if there was sleep, they did not dare to sleep.

Outside the window, as always, there is a scarlet light, evil and bizarre, the dormitory dyed red. After seeing this color for a long time, the people did not like it, but they gradually got used to it.

"Let's analyze this 'demon game'." Wenjian sat on the stool, looked at his roommates and said gruffly.

"What is there to analyze? You believe whatever it says?" Wang yelled.

Wenjian gave Wang an annoyed look, wanted to curse, but held back, Wang is after all a big man of one meter eighty-nine, he is less than one meter seven small body is unable to fight him.

"I think it's better to believe in the words without other clues." Xu Fang spoke up.

"Yes, yes, it's better to believe it than not to believe it." Fatty echoed.

"Let me start with my thoughts." Wenjian rubbed his chin and said:

"To win this game, there are three conditions, one is to survive for 7 days and have less than 4 deaths, one is to identify the wrong option, and the last one is to kill all the demons. I feel that the most difficult is the third option, at present we do not even know what the demon is, only that its appearance may be the same as humans."

Speaking of which, Wenjian scanned everyone around suspiciously and then said: "And the first one doesn't look that easy either. So, the only option is to point out the rules of the game. It only gives seven rules, and there are six of us, so if one of us identifies an option, there is a high chance that we can win directly ......"

"I don't think so." Xu Fang interrupted Wenjian , "According to you, we have a 6/7 chance to win the game directly, right? But is it necessary to set up other more difficult winning conditions? Is it really that easy to identify the wrong rule? The text also says that if the identification fails, the person is considered dead, but will he or she come back to life after death? Maybe if you make a mistake, you're really dead?"

There is one more thing that Xu Fang did not say, are these five roommates really all human? Could it be that these five people are all demons in disguise ......

Thinking of this, Xu Fang shuddered and hastily dispelled this terrible thought as he said, "I think it is better to choose the first one."

"To survive for seven days, how can this be done, what about food and water?" Fatty said worriedly.

"There is no need to worry about that. In terms of water, the bucket of water in the dormitory is still half unconsumed, and even if it is, there is still running water in the bathroom. Food, there is a vending machine downstairs, we can destroy it to take out the food inside. Even if it can not be destroyed, seven days without food can barely hold on." Xu Fang calmly analyzed.

After listening to Xu Fang's words, Wenjian and others suddenly showed their amazement, they did not expect that this usually most inconspicuous Xu Fang could still have such clear thinking when facing this kind of things.

"Yeah, let's go down and take out the food from the vending machine later, there's enough bread and cookies in there for a few days." Fatty brightened up.

Wenjian frowned and said: "But I still feel uncomfortable in my heart, why don't we try to identify the rules, just identify the last rule, I am very concerned about whether there is a ghost between us!"

Xiaoming, who had not spoken, spoke up, "I think ...... if you identify, it's better to identify the first one first."

"Why?"

"Because the text says, kill all the demons, you can win, the demons will sooner or later contact with us, right. If the first identification is successful, we will win directly. If it fails, it's not a bad thing, at least until 6:00 tonight, we are safe ......," explained Ming.

"That's a very coherent way of putting it." Wenjian suddenly revealed a grim smile: "Xiaoming students, then you think between us, who is the devil?"

As soon as Wenjian 's words fell, everyone's eyes were focused on Luo Xiaoming.

"I ...... I don't know." Luo Xiaoming shook his head, but the others still did not withdraw their sights, all staring at him, looking at his scalp numb. Xiaoming slapped the table hard and shouted angrily: "What are you guys looking at me for? Are you suspecting me?"

Wenjian nodded and looked meaningfully at Xiaoming, saying: "Of all of us, only you are the most suspicious. Why did we not change much after entering the demon world, while you turned back into a boy? Can you tell us the reason?"

After Wenjian finished his words, Fatty, Big Teeth and the others all changed their faces and subconsciously pulled away a little from Luo Xiaoming.

Hearing Wenjian 's words, Xu Fang's heart was moved. He has never figured out why this "Devil's Game" appeared, could it be related to Horror Novel Web? Is it because he set Luo Xiaoming as a boy that he entered the demon world? But the audit had already said that it would not be dangerous to let Luo Xiaoming turn back into a boy.

So Horror Novel Web wouldn't have created such a game, and it doesn't look like its style, but rather like someone's prank.

Luo Xiaoming's face was pale, being suspected for no reason, his heart was both angry and aggrieved, but he could not explain.

"Maybe you've been lurking around us for a long time, think about it, which normal person would suddenly change sex?" Wenjian pointed at Luo Xiaoming, his emotions grew more and more agitated.

"The real world simply does not exist Xiaoming this person, everything is an illusion, it is to give us a false memory so as to take advantage of the opportunity to kill us ......"

"Wenjian!" Xu Fang suddenly interrupted Zhou Wenjian's words. It's not because he couldn't listen to it anymore, but he didn't want Wenjian to "sow discord" anymore, even if they were mixed with demons, so what? This blatantly said, in addition to intensify the suspicion between humans, there are other effects?

"I believe Xiaoming is not a demon." Xu Fang glanced at Ming and continued:

"I also believe that you are not demons, so why do you all think that demons are mixed in among us? Maybe the demon is somewhere else in the 3rd apartments."

Speaking of this, Xu Fang pointed to the door of the dormitory and lowered his voice, "Maybe the demon is outside eavesdropping on our conversation, it just wants to see our relationship split."

Xu Fang's words made Fatty and the others' hair stand on end as they turned their heads to look out the door. It was pitch black outside, and no one was sure if anything was really hidden there.

Luo Xiaoming blinked and looked gratefully at Xu Fang, who was defending him, the only one who stood by his side when everyone else didn't trust him. This feeling of being trusted moved Luo Xiaoming, and his heart was touched.

The others looked like they all acquiesced to Xu Fang's words and were less suspicious of Xiaoming. Wenjian also thought it made sense and didn't say anything.

Big Teeth looked at his roommates and bared his teeth to reveal a smile, "Then let's go down later and look for it, maybe we can find the hidden demon, there are six of us, so I guess it can't be beaten if we go together."

Wenjian , Xu Fang and Xiaoming agreed, however, Fatty and Wang shook their heads.

Fatty was a little sleepy and dozed off, he just wanted to lie in bed now and have a good sleep, whatever the demon game, when he woke up.

Wang said just smashed the window on his most effort, he is very tired, do not want to go out again, and he now also want to sleep.

Xu Fang looked at the time, it was almost 5 a.m., he said: "Let's go to sleep first, and then get up at noon to find the devil."

After Xu Fang finished, he added, "The demon may attack us, so let's not sleep too much. But if so, it will violate the first rule of the game, I believe you all know what to do, right?"

The roommates nodded, according to the rules of the game, this is their "safe period", the demon will not come to attack them, if the demon violated the rules of the game, then the first rule is wrong. They identify this wrong rule can directly win.

So the reverse reasoning, even if the demon can kill at any time, it will never choose this time, unless it has the ability to kill everyone instantly. If that were the case, the crowd would have died long ago, so why give them the time to explore?

The crowd closed the door of the sleeping room and locked it behind them. Finally returned to their respective beds. Of course, everyone remained alert, clutching the knife in their hands so as to give themselves some sense of security.

The 607 dormitory gradually quieted down, with only the subtle sound of each other's breathing. Not long after, Fatty's snoring sounded, and along with this sound, Xu Fang gradually entered the dream world.
