R18 Survival Game - Chapter 13
Ji Ning looked at the countdown. There were clearly 19 hours left, but Number 5 had already submitted the answer in such a hurry.
According to Xing Ye, it was most likely that No. 5 had submitted the left-handed bodyguard as his answer. Now, it seemed that the answer that No. 5 gave is wrong. The murderer is not the person who appears to be the one on the surface.
“That’s right!”
Ji Ning remembered what Xing Ye once told her, “The clue is – [seeing the truth through the fog], which actually means that the superficial answer is just ‘fog’, and the real murderer is someone else. Is that what it means?”
“You’re right.” Xing Ye confirmed Ji Ning’s words, “No. 5 didn’t get the hint, and he didn’t have the status to form a team, so he had no way of knowing this seemingly profound but actually very important hint. His identity as a bodyguard might have allowed him to get a lot of key information, but this information had pointed to the wrong answer. That’s why he answered so confidently in advance, hoping to get the highest score reward.”
After hearing Xing Ye’s explanation, Ji Ning looked at as if the light had dimmed in her life. She lowered her head, a little unable to accept that a companion was just gone.
She waited quietly for a long time without saying anything unusual, and asked Xing Ye in a low voice, “How did the person who answered the wrong question get wiped out?”
Her voice trembled, and after hearing this, Xing Ye felt a strange feeling in his heart that he had not felt for a long time.
The strange emotion is called “distress”.
He simply told Ji Ning, “I don’t know. I can only see the expressions of the obliterated people, but can’t hear the sound, and then the person will slowly disappear. Ji Ning, promise me, never look at them.”
Ji Ning’s heart stopped. After a moment, she squeezed her hand and answered him,”Okay.”
Xing Ye didn’t know what to say to comfort the girl, so he could only hold Ji Ning’s hand from an angle where others couldn’t see, using his windbreaker to block it.
“Although No. 5 gave the wrong answer, the stab wound on the deceased was indeed caused by the left-handed bodyguard named Wu Hao, right?” Ji Ning turned her grief and anger into strength and quickly cheered up.
Xing Ye was surprised at how quickly she adjusted her mentality and affirmed, “Yes, although some clues may not necessarily be the answer, they must still be valid clues that point to something. Otherwise, it would be too difficult.”
Ji Ning calmed down and analyzed carefully: “The back of the deceased’s head also have fatal injuries. If the murderer is not Wu Hao, then it means that Hui Shao was already dead before the stab wounds. The person who caused the fatal injuries is the ‘murderer’. Brother Xing Ye, have you looked carefully at the wound on the back of the head? What could be the cause?”
Xing Ye nodded: “I took a look, and it felt like something was suddenly penetrated by a sharp foreign object, injuring the brain tissue. There is a skull behind the head, and without a certain amount of force, it cannot cause fatal injuries.”
Again. A new puzzle had appeared, causing Ji Ning to sigh softly.
Xing Ye stroked the back of her hand with his thumb, “According to my experience, this is probably an accidental injury. Apart from this fatal injury and knife wounds, there are no other traces of fighting on the deceased. First of all, even if he was not a man, it is very difficult to hit the back of the head protected by the skull with one blow. Secondly, if you intend to kill someone, there are too many better places other than the back of the head, such as the throat, heart, and temple. Therefore, it is necessary to find the murder weapon that can hurt the back of the head. It’s probably caused by the environment.”
“Caused by the environment?” Ji Ning frowned slightly, “Does it mean it’s not a weapon like a dagger?”
Knowing that the fatal injury was not directly man-made, Ji Ning had a strong intuition, and thought that Yang Yi was very possibly the final answer.
But without evidence, Ji Ning couldn’t afford to fight with just intuition. She and Xing Ye still needed more evidence to support the answer to ensure that both of them can survive.
“Yes. So, I immediately went to find out if there were any place on the ship that could cause such an injury. Only then can I advance with the next clue.”
Xing Ye was very decisive. Instead of guessing, it was better to seek confirmation.
Ji Ning nodded,”T hen I’ll go too. It’s faster for the two of us to find it. I’ll go to the underground floor to look for it, and Brother Xing Ye, you can look for it on the first and second floors. This seems reasonable.”
“Okay, you must be careful.”
Xing Ye took a deep look at Ji Ning.
In this game world that eats people up without blinking an eye, every glance might very well be the last.
(t/n: woooooooo 心动! Which means his heart has been moved by her. 😚)
Webcast barrage:
“What a touching group!”
“I am a fan of No. 6 Ji Ning, she is very suitable to survive here.”
“What is the answer? After seeing so many players’ perspectives, I feel that everyone’s suspicions are all reasonable.”
“Fortunately, we have survived. Even while we are watching the fun now, we still can’t forget the fear of being completely dominated by the game.”
“I think Ji Ning and Xing Ye can definitely answer it correctly.”
“I agree.”
