R18 Survival Game - Chapter 11
Awakened by the screams, people who came to check on the situation on the third floor had gathered outside the room, and everyone looked dishevelled.
The room where Hui Shao and his girlfriend slept in had a large viewing glass window. Even just by standing outside, one could clearly see whatever was going on in the room.
Hui Shao, who was still fine yesterday, has now become a hardened corpse and his skin had lost the color of a living person.
There were no signs of a fight at the murder scene. If one ignored the blood stains and the stab wounds on Mr. Hui’s body, it would have been as if he was just sleeping on the bed.
Players mingled among the NPC crowd and were more concerned about this unexpected incident. This was because this was not only a simple murder case, but also the key to clearing this round.
A few minutes ago, the system panel that had not been touched for a long time lit up, and the originally grey “Clearance Requirements” column was unlocked, showing:
[Customs Clearance Requirement: The correct answer on the murderer of Xu Huihuang] [Limited to 24 hours, 100 points will be awarded for correct answers within 8 hours / 50 points will be awarded for correct answers within 16 hours / 20 points will be awarded for correct answers within 24 hours. Countdown 23:46:30]
[If you answer correctly, you will pass the level, if you answer incorrectly, you will be obliterated.]
The input box below had also been unlocked, and a complete list of all the NPCs with faces was provided.
The only ten remaining players were now under heavy pressure from this moment on. The non-stop countdown seemed to be urging people to their imminent death, making the already tense murder scene even more nerve-wracking.
At this time, the bodyguards began to clear the place, and everyone returned to the first floor to wait.
The owner of the cruise ship, Xu Huihuang, had died on his birthday. The atmosphere on the ship suddenly became dull.
People gathered in twos and threes, discussing the murder in low voices and solemn expressions.
Ji Ning followed Xing Ye and sat on the steps at the open bow, and soon several other players gathered over.
At this time, Ji Ning was looking at the endless sea and murmured: “Blizzard Villa mode…”
(t/n: The “Blizzard Villa” mode is a description of the environment, which refers to a group of people gathered in a relatively closed environment, such as a mountain villa, secret room, island, etc., isolated from the world because of a blizzard, due to special circumstances cannot get in touch with the outside world, everyone cannot leave this environment temporarily. Everyone present might encounter danger, everyone might be the murderer, and the player needs to find the murderer in this situation.)
“Who doesn’t know that this is Blizzard Villa mode? It’s useless to just say this.”
Jiang Shiyu answered, “The main thing is to make inferences based on clues. The motive for the murder, find out the real culprit.”
Xing Ye didn’t even raise his head, looked at Ji Ning and said warmly, “You continue.”
Ji Ning withdrew her eyes from Jiang Shiyu, dug her memory and explained to Xing Ye, ” ‘Blizzard Villa’ is a type of murder that happened in a closed environment. According to the routine of many suspense movies, there are usually several possibilities for the murderer. It might be the first witness, it might be the person who seems least likely to be the murderer, or it might be the person who transported the body. I can only think of these for the moment.”
Although the possibility pointed out by Ji Ning is a common reversal set up by the movie for the sake of excitement, it can also provide people with a lot of ideas.
Everyone nodded and pondered,while Jiang Shiyu felt a little embarrassed.
Although Xing Ye didn’t know of such a genre as concretely as Ji Ning, he got the same idea as her just based on inferences and guesses.
As the first witness, Hui Shao’s girlfriend cannot escape suspicion.
Also, they cannot ignore the NPCs with murderous motives and shady behaviour that they have already known before. They had to find out what everyone was doing last night and see if they have any alibi.
Just guessing is not the answer. Other players were inspired and left to look for clues.
After everyone left, Ji Ning finally had the opportunity to ask Xing Ye about her doubts on the updated customs clearance rules, “If someone confirms the answer and tells all the players that they all got the answers correct, can they pass the level together?”
“No.”
Xing Ye looked gloomy, “That way everyone will die.”
