R18 Survival Game - Chapter 15
Chapter 15 -Lustful Cruise XIV
Ji Ning followed Xing Ye into the bar on the first floor of the cruise ship, before entering a passage through a door next to the bar counter, which revealed that there were other several rooms hidden on the first floor.
Xing Ye led her straight to the innermost room. After opening the door, Ji Ning saw clearly that there was a bed and table inside, just like any other hotel room.
Then, she quickly discovered that there were several hard plastic clothing hooks on the wall behind the door. The innermost clothing hook looked like it had been broken sharply by something.
Ji Ning’s eyes lit up and she immediately moved closer to look at the broken clothing hook.
After careful inspection, she finally saw that there was little spot of dark red blood in the torn corner below the broken part.
Ji Ning looked back at Xing Ye, breathing a little quickly, “This is initial scene of the murder, right?”
“Yes, there are traces of sandpaper on the wall.”
“Who was in this room?”
“Yang Yi!” Ji Ning did not hesitate and grabbed Xing Ye’s arm, telling him all about her evidence and speculation in detail.
After listening to what Ji Ning said, Xing Ye had the same opinion as her.
“There is nothing more logical than Hui Shao bringing a woman into this room.”
“Yes! I suspect that Yang Yi is not originally a peripheral girl, but was actually being manipulated by Hui Shao. He might have threatened and forced her to board this cruise ship. When Hui Shao brought his girlfriend back to sleep at night, he might have given his girlfriend sleeping pills and other things to make her unconscious, before bringing Yang Yi here and forcing her to go to bed! While struggling, the two pushed and pulled around until Hui Shao hit the hook on the head, causing his accidental death.”
Xing Ye continued her words: “There might be a hidden relationship between the left-handed bodyguard Wu Hao and Yang Yi, and so, prompting Wu Hao to take care the corpse. In order to protect Yang Yi from being found out, he stabbed the corpse and pretended to have a vendetta, trying to use the stab wound to expose himself in place of Yang Yi’s crime.”
By this point, the whole murder case had been basically recounted to its full extent.
Ji Ning’s heartbeat quickened and she asked eagerly, “Then… let’s… submit the answer now?”
She glanced at the countdown and saw that there was less than two hours left before the first reward.
After Xing Ye pondered for a moment, he shook his head, “It’s not safe enough. We are not yet sure whether there is a relationship between Wu Hao and Yang Yi that can support the theory of ‘scapegoating’.”
“What should I do? I can’t find out any other news about Yang Yi.”
Ji Ning felt that Xing Ye was right. Everything they had was just from guessing, and you can’t answer the question rashly based on just guessing.
If they are wrong, they will all be obliterated.
“… as long as I disappear normally after answering the question, you can follow with answering the question.”
Ji Ning immediately asked him, “What will happen to people if they are injured or die in the game?”
Xing Ye looked into her eyes and said softly: “We were thrown into the game. Even though it is not our real body, the data will be erased.”
Ji Ning understood what he meant. If a person dies in the game, he will be completely dead. She immediately panicked, “No! Those NPCs are not normal people. What if there is an accident?”
“It’s okay, don’t worry. There is still time.”
Ji Ning was still worried, but with Xing Ye’s repeated assurances, she had no choice but to agree to test the relationship between bodyguards Wu Hao and Yang Yi.
At the same time, Jiang Shiyu, who had been looking for Xing Ye for a long time but couldn’t find anyone, could only give up unwillingly.
There wasn’t much time left to answer the questions, and she didn’t want to waste any more time.
Jiang Shiyu took out a bottle of medicine that was all in English from her handbag, looked at it, and recalled the process of cracking the case.
She had found this bottle of medicine from He Zhifang’s room. She found out it was a powerful nerve-numbing drug.
He Zhifang, who owed Hui Shao a large sum of money, must have tricked Hui Shao into taking the drug and killed Hui Shao without his knowledge. He also held a knife with his left hand, pretending to have a different vendetta in an attempt to push the crime to others.
The creditor died, and since He Zhifang didn’t sign the IOU, no one could make him pay back the money.
Jiang Shiyu was very sure that He Zhifang was the answer. She didn’t tell anyone about her discovery, not even her partner Ye Jiaming. In this game, she wanted to be the only winner.
Jiang Shiyu’s eyes flashed with fierceness. She opened the system light screen with her mind and entered He Zhifang’s name in the answer box without hesitation.
After waiting for three seconds, the [Correct Answer] she was expecting did not appear. Instead, the light screen in front of her suddenly changed from blue-green to grey, and the blood-red four-words [Answer Wrong] flashed continuously.
Her body seemed to be torn into pieces one by one, and a severe pain that could annihilate her consciousness swept over her. Jiang Shiyu’s pupils were instantly bloodshot, and her eyes were about to burst. She opened her mouth wide and wanted to scream but no sound came out. Finally, she died in excruciating pain.
[Player No. 2’s answer is wrong and will be erased]
There was another prompt on the system panel.
But Ji Ning didn’t have time to look at it, as she was too focused and didn’t dare to stop staring at Xing Ye in the distance.
When it was time for lunch, most people on the cruise ship gathered at the bar to eat their lunch.
Xing Ye approached Yang Yi, who was sitting alone, acting like a wild beast that had spotted its prey, exuding a dangerous aura.
Because he was only just approaching, bodyguard Wu Hao, who was also eating, saw this scene and had no reaction.
However, when Xing Ye forcibly grabbed Yang Yi’s wrist and left, leading her directly to the second floor, Wu Hao immediately followed.
Ji Ning also followed them quietly.
The actions of Xing Ye and Ji Ning attracted the attention of several other players. They had no clues and could only stare at Xing Ye, who had the best chance of answering correctly, and followed him in hopes to pick up the answer.
Seeing Xing Ye attacking a weak NPC, they were very confused, but they still decided to follow him.
Ji Ning saw Xing Ye dragging Yang Yi into a room as he had told her in advance. She took advantage of the cover of the corner to hide by the window and look in.
In order to provoke Wu Hao to take action, Xing Ye was very rude to Yang Yi. He ignored Yang Yi’s struggle, dragged her and threw her on the bed, like a man who was full of bestiality and was about to do something inappropriate to a woman.
As expected, Wu Hao fell into the trap and rushed in and beat Xing Ye violently.
Both men are tall and strong, and they are skilled practitioners. Once they get entangled, they will be inseparable.
Wu Hao also took the opportunity to turn around and protect Yang Yi behind him.
While Xing Ye fought back, he looked towards the window and looked at Ji Ning.
Ji Ning saw a hint of a smile on his face, and his eyes were no longer cold, as if he was hiding a little bit of reluctance.
Then Xing Ye seemed to evaporate, becoming translucent until he completely disappeared.
NPC Wu Hao and Yang Yi were not surprised at all. Their expressions and movements returned to normal, and they left the room one after another.
Because of Xing Ye’s prior explanation, Ji Ning knew that he got the answer right, so he opened the system panel with peace of mind and entered Yang Yi’s name in the answer box.
[Correct answer].
A blue-green prompt was displayed, and then Ji Ning and Xing Ye showed the same change and left the game copy.
This feeling is very strange, like slowly waking up from a fantasy dream, with a bizarre trance in the reality.
The players who saw Ji Ning disappearing in the distance looked at each other in confusion. They knew that Xing Ye had just entered the room with two NPCs, one a bodyguard and the other an outsider.
So who among these two NPCs will the answer be?
Webcast barrage:
“Wonderful reasoning, wonderful cooperation.” “
I hope these two will meet in the same instance again in the future.”
“Player No. 6, a newcomer with both luck and strength.”
