“Why is it Yuan Shi Tianzun who's voted as the suspect? Are they all idiots? At this time, they should definitely target Zhao Chenghuang. Whoever is the strongest, target them! Any kind of rhetoric is just a smokescreen. What a bunch of fools!"

"Tianxia Guihuo is a disgrace to the Scarlet Fire Gang, a disgrace to the Fire Master. He's nothing like a Fire Master."

The Fire Masters in the audience spoke angrily.

The unfolding of the plot in the conference room caught the audience off guard. Not to mention the simple-minded Fire Masters, even other professionals found it unbelievable.

Yuan Shi Tianzun is indeed a master at clearing spiritual realms, but clearing instances depends on the state and the type of checkpoints inside. No matter how powerful Yuan Shi Tianzun is, he's not an all-rounder. Once he encounters a field he's not good at, the chances of failure are extremely high.

On the other hand, Zhao Chenghuang's martial strength is a constant value. He's always that strong, and it won't change depending on the difficulty of the instance.

So, eliminating Zhao Chenghuang first is the safest choice.

"Actually, Tianxia Guihuo's choice is correct. He wants to compete for the championship, and an S-class instance is an opportunity. But with Yuan Shi Tianzun around, he doesn't have the confidence to win against Yuan Shi Tianzun in clearing instances. Prioritizing voting out Yuan Shi Tianzun is a smart move, unless Tianxia Guihuo doesn't want to win."

"Tianxia Guihuo has a good brain; he's indeed different from other Fire Masters. But that Tone Deaf, I think he's more like a Fire Master. If the Five Elements Alliance's five players form an alliance, that's five against three. This wave is a tie, everyone gets points deducted. Then, after entering the instance, the five of them join forces to eliminate the Taiyi School's players, and the top three will compete among our Five Elements Alliance. The Houtu Boots wouldn't have been snatched away by the Taiyi School."

lingdian.

The speaker was a middle-aged man, full of grief and indignation, scolding Tone Deaf as an idiot.

His Lingjing ID is "Toubao Pei Jiu Yue He Yue You" (Drinking Cephalosporin with Alcohol Makes You Better at Drinking).

As for the group with not very strong collective honor, the people from the Lingjing aristocratic families, they became excited, chatting loudly, their faces full of excitement, as if a great show was entering its climax.

"Interesting, isn't Yuan Shi Tianzun a master at clearing S-class instances? This kind of start is just right for showing off his skills. It wouldn't be interesting with any other player."

"Exciting, it's so exciting from the beginning. How is Yuan Shi Tianzun going to prove his innocence next? Can he win one against seven? I feel like this round will become the most dazzling and unsurpassable part of the arena in recent years, of course, assuming Yuan Shi Tianzun isn't just living up to his name."

"This is much more interesting than mindless platform fighting."

In a corner, a woman with a melon-shaped face turned her head, looked at her daughter beside her, raised her delicate willow eyebrows, and said worriedly:

"Bao Bao, the situation is not good for your Yuan Shi Gege."

Xie Lingxi didn't panic at all:

"Don't worry, Yuan Shi Gege won't lose so easily. You don't know, his situation in Jinshui Amusement Park was even more dangerous than it is now."

Xie's mother's eyes lit up, and she put her arm around her daughter's shoulder: "Quick, tell Mom about it. Mom will listen, so I can brag to the ladies."

Annie, with her azure blue eyes like the sea, looked at the blurred image in mid-air and said:

"The Night Wanderer isn't a scout. Solving cases should be Yuan Shi Tianzun's weakness."

She frowned slightly.

Mr. Bill next to her corrected: "Not a weakness, the correct Chinese word is: short board!"

In other words, he agreed with Annie's words.

"Rongrong, then Yuan Shi Tianzun will be eliminated in the first round!" A young man with greasy hair and a powder face looked excited, looking at the beautiful woman beside him.

The gloating expression on his face suddenly froze, only to see Zhu Rong's beautiful eyebrows tightly locked, her face gloomy, looking unhappy.

The young gigolo silently swallowed the subsequent ridicule, and a strong jealousy appeared on his handsome and feminine face.

As a close person, he could clearly feel Zhu Rong's interest in Yuan Shi Tianzun growing stronger and stronger, gradually ignoring the handsome gigolos around her, and becoming indifferent.

On the elder's seat, Elder Hongying turned her head, looked at Elder Gou, who was one seat away, and said with a smile:

"Old Gou, what type of S-class instances did this child clear before? Can you evaluate whether he can pass this level?"

Elder Sun folded his arms, raised his chin, and snorted:

"I don't think he can!"

Elder Gou ignored him, pondered for a moment, and said:

"He should be fine!"

Elder Hongying raised her eyebrows, and immediately became interested: "Then I have to look forward to it."

At this time, the blurred image on the field gradually became clear.

The surrounding scenery became clear, and he was in a small, confined room. There were no furnishings in the room, and three objects were piled on the ground: a briefcase, a small black box, and a ceramic bowl.

There was a large lump of wet mud in the bowl. Besides that, there was nothing else in the room.

But he noticed that there was a fist-sized hole in the wall in front of him, through which he could see the scene next door. This should be the prison cell where "I" am being held. What's the next step in the plot? Wait for the other players to come and interrogate me? Zhang Yuanqing looked around, and suddenly found that the pajamas on his body were gone.

He was now wearing a light blue casual suit, suit pants and leather shoes, and the corners of his clothes and trouser legs were stained with some blood.

"This isn't my body?" He was startled, and quickly raised his hand to touch his face, and then touched his earlobes.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. The body was still his own, but his clothes had changed.

Bloodstains. Zhang Yuanqing took off his clothes to check, only to see that the back of the casual suit was covered in large patches of blood, and the back of the trouser legs were also stained with a lot of blood. "This should be the blood of the deceased?"

Already in the book competition, Zhang Yuanqing put on his suit again, his eyes fell on the three items on the ground, he raised his foot and walked over, picked up the black wooden box, and a dialog box immediately popped up in his field of vision: [Item: Ashes of a Wraith]

[Note: Touching the ashes can transform you into a spirit body. Note that the ashes cannot be moved to the next room without being used.]

[Item: Holy Porcelain]

[Note: The porcelain will continuously produce mud, and the mud has the function of dispelling the spirit body state.]

Two opposing quest items? What's the use of this? He retracted his hand, and picked up the briefcase. The items inside were: broken glasses, a mobile phone, and a manuscript of a novel.

[Item: Glasses]

[Note: These are your glasses. You have five hundred degrees of myopia. You accidentally broke them last night when you visited Professor Li.]

[Item: Mobile Phone]

[Note: You secretly recorded a video of last night's conversation as a handle to threaten Professor Li.]

[Item: Novel Manuscript]

[Note: You are Professor Li's ghostwriter. Because the quality of your works has declined, you are facing the crisis of being fired. Therefore, you specially brought the manuscript to the capital, trying to persuade Professor Li to continue cooperating.]

"These should be important clues for me to prove my innocence. The note in the novel manuscript gives me a motive for murder, while the video in the phone can weaken this motive..." After Zhang Yuanqing checked the items, he was considering what to do next when he heard the Lingjing notification sound:

[Ding, the detective team is rushing to execute you. Please escape from the secret room within eight minutes and arrive at the scene of the crime. The scene of the crime is in Room 404, Building 3 of the teachers' dormitory.] [Hint 1: The key is in the next room.]

[Hint 2: Your abilities have been sealed, and all items in the room cannot be destroyed.]

[Hint 3: In this level, you have one chance to use an item.]

Listening to the Lingjing notification sound, Zhang Yuanqing's pupils shrank, and his eyes were dull for a few seconds.

Proving his innocence isn't enough, he has to escape from the secret room first?

Five escapes from the secret room. He looked around, walked to the window, and punched the window. An invisible force bounced him back.

"The hint didn't lie. All items in the room cannot be destroyed, so the act of using the Bloodthirsty Blade and Thug Gloves to break through the door can be directly abandoned. I have to get the key according to the rules. The key is in the next room."

Zhang Yuanqing walked to the wall on the west side, and observed the situation next door through the hole.

The next room was also a secret room, surrounded by walls, without doors, windows, or any furnishings.

The dim吊灯 (diàodēng - pendant lamp) dispelled the darkness, and a brass key was lying on the floor in the center of the secret room. Zhang Yuanqing's heart moved, and he turned his attention to the black box. He knew how to use this thing.

He opened the box, and inside were pale white powders. Zhang Yuanqing touched the ashes with his fingertip, and immediately, his body turned into a translucent spirit body.

Zhang Yuanqing immediately floated towards the door, but an invisible barrier blocked him, and a dialog box popped up in his field of vision:

[This door can only be opened with a key!]

Sure enough, he couldn't exploit bugs. He had to go next door to get the key. Time was limited, so he didn't hesitate any longer, turned around and floated towards the wall, and plunged straight into it.

But when he reached out his hand to try to pick up the key, his palm passed through the brass key. In the spirit body state, he couldn't touch physical objects.

He couldn't pick it up... Zhang Yuanqing pondered for a few seconds, his eyes lit up, and he quickly passed through the wall, returning to the original room. Then, he reached out and touched the wet mud in the ceramic bowl.

The next second, his body broke free from the spirit body state and returned to its original state.

Zhang Yuanqing scooped up the mud in the bowl, came to the wall with the hole, and threw the mud from the hole.

This way, he could dispel the spirit body state in the next room and get the key.

He smeared on the ashes of the wraith, turned into a spirit body again, Zhang Yuanqing passed through the wall, and bent down to pick up the mud on the ground, just as he was about to, his body suddenly froze.

No, if I touch it, my body will return to normal, and I won't be able to go back. Zhang Yuanqing retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

"Escaping from the secret room is not as simple as I thought."

He quickly reviewed every detail. "To enter the next room, you must use the Wraith Ashes, and to get the key, you must touch the mud. But after touching the mud, I return to normal and can't pass through the wall again, and the Wraith Ashes can't be brought here. Once I restore my human form here, I won't be able to go back. This is a dead end... " Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanqing became anxious.

"Almost two minutes have passed since the Lingjing prompted, and there are still six minutes left. How to break the situation?"

"All items in the room cannot be destroyed, including the walls, windows, and doors, but I can use an item once. Using the Yin-Yang Magic Robe to unfold a 30-meter diameter array, I can appear anywhere in the array, but I can only use one item in this level. If I use the Yin-Yang Magic Robe now, I won't be able to use the Seer's Glasses to observe the scene of the crime later, which is bound to be restricted... " The Seer's Glasses can improve observation and reasoning abilities, so when he was voted as a suspect, Zhang Yuanqing had the thought of struggling desperately and counterattacking from a desperate situation.

But now he realized that it was very difficult to turn the tables.

"As expected of an S-class instance, becoming a suspect is almost equal to being eliminated. It's so difficult... " He thought for a few minutes, but couldn't think of a way, and became more and more anxious. If he wasn't in a spirit body state, sweat would already be pouring out of his forehead.

"There are about five minutes left, what to do, what to do... If the dignified Yuan Shi Tianzun is eliminated at the beginning, it would be too embarrassing. How they used to praise me, how they will laugh at me in the future?"

Gu Shen took a deep breath, and Zhang Yuanqing forced himself to calm down. The more anxious he was, the less he could think clearly.

There are skills to thinking. Sometimes, when a problem cannot be solved, we can solve the person who created the problem.

When you can't understand the problem itself, you can think about the person who created the problem. For example, what is the purpose of them setting up this level? "From the perspective of the instance setting, the core of this level is for the suspect to prove their innocence. Any difficulties and obstacles are paving the way for this point. That is to say, before the final test comes, any difficulties and obstacles must have a glimmer of hope, otherwise the conference room would not have voted for a suspect, but an eliminator."

Little master, there is more to this chapter, please click on the next page to continue reading, the following is more exciting!

"From the perspective of the meaning of the competition, setting up a dead end in this link and eliminating a player like this would be too childish. The player himself would not be convinced, and the audience would be dissatisfied, thinking it was unfair and belonged to plot killing."

6 "Although there is the ability to use an item once, how can the person who created the instance judge whether the player who is selected as a suspect must have an item to leave the secret room?"

"Therefore, there must be a way to break the situation in this level, and it is in the given information and props."

Zhang Yuanqing's brain was running at high speed, like an overloaded machine. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, and he thought of a way!

Outside the field, in the audience seats, the Lingjing Xingzhe who witnessed the secret room scene were scratching their heads, some were lost in thought, and some were seeking the opinions of their companions everywhere.

"Yuan Shi Tianzun stopped, he didn't pick up the mud, that's dangerous, he would have lost if he picked it up."

"But how to get the key? Has anyone thought of a way?"

"Smearing the powder and turning into a spirit body can pass through the wall, but the spirit body can't touch the key. If you restore your normal body, you can get the key, but you can't go back, it's unsolvable."

"It's too exaggerated, is an S-class instance so difficult? This is only the first level, and it has dumbfounded me."

"There is not much time left, Yuan Shi Tianzun is doomed."

The scene was very lively, but most of the noise came from the Fire Masters. Most people were using their brains, silently changing positions to think. If they were Yuan Shi Tianzun, what would they do now?

They even had the idea of competing with Yuan Shi Tianzun to see who could break the difficulty first.

This was an excellent opportunity to test their own level.

Xie's mother said "Oh dear, oh dear" next to her: "Baby, I can't understand it at all. If someone like me enters an S-class instance, will I not survive three seconds? Do you think this Yuan Shi Tianzun can pass?"

Tu Guan Yahei frowned and said nothing, trying her best to think of countermeasures, too lazy to pay attention to her stupid mother.

Annie and Mr. Bill were both silent, thinking separately.

The spirit body asked while racking its brains: "Zhang Yuanqing, have you thought of a way?"

"I thought of it." Zhang Yuanqing sitting next to him said.

"What's the way?" The spirit body's eyes lit up, eager to know the answer.

Zhang Yuanqing said indifferently: "He has already given the answer."

The spirit body immediately turned its head, so that its line of sight returned to the aerial image.

"What is he going to do? Did he think of a way?"

Someone said loudly.

The noise stopped immediately, and gazes turned to the image. In the picture, Yuan Shi Tianzun returned to the original secret room.

He first touched the mud, dispelled the Lingjing state, then picked up the ceramic bowl, and walked to the edge of the hole in large strides, dropping the mud in the bowl vertically.

The mud was piled higher and higher, and before long, the height reached the same level as the hole.

A mud pillar was built.

Then, they saw Yuan Shi Tianzun slowly discard the ceramic bowl, pick up the black box, open the lid, and carefully pick up the earth on the soil to meet the mud upwards.

Yuan Shi Tianzun touched the powder with his finger, turned to the Lingjing state, and passed through the wall to the next secret room.

He bent down and touched the lump of mud that had been thrown in at the end, dispelled the Lingjing state, and went straight to the bottom of the吊灯 (diàodēng - pendant lamp), picked up the key, returned to the edge of the hole, and threw the key out of the hole.

Then, Yuan Shi Tianzun's finger passed through the hole and touched the black box placed on the mud pillar, touching the ashes in the box.

The next second, his body was virtualized, becoming a translucent Lingjing, and passed through the wall back to the first room.

Then, he used the mud to dispel the Lingjing state, picked up the key, went straight to the door, inserted the key, and opened the closed door.

At this moment, the audience around the插台 (chātái - stage) was in an uproar.

After about a few seconds, the noise rose up, the scene exploded instantly, and the voices were boiling.

"Is this okay? Is this a bug?"

Yi Tu Nian

"It's not a bug, it's a clever use of the attributes of the task items. The biggest difficulty for Yuan Shi Tianzun is that he can't return to the Lingjing. The powder can't enter the next room, so he must solve this difficulty, but there are no tables, benches, or chairs in the room. Once he restores his human body in the next room, he can't touch the powder anymore. So he used the characteristics of the mud to continuously produce it, and used it to build a pillar to place the birds, and even though it would be impossible for the Ling ashes to enter the Fragrant room, he could reach out and touch it... Wonderful, so wonderful, why didn't I think of it.

"Give me some time, and I can think of it too, but I can't do it so quickly. In this safe instance, you need to use your brain quickly and be as thoughtful as possible.

You are the distance between life and death, no wonder you are Yuan Shi Tianzun.

"He can pass two S-levels not by luck, but by real ability. I am convinced. If he really proves his innocence, will the other seven players not be slapped in the face?"

"Ah, now that you say that, I'm getting excited. This game is really good."

In the noisy voices, Mr. Bill shook his head and sighed:

"Amazing, amazing, I vaguely thought of this method, but I didn't react as quickly as him."

Annie breathed a sigh of relief, her heart was hot, and she said with a smile: "I suddenly look forward to his next performance."

Yuan Shi Gege is really great. Guan Yaxi showed a happy smile, and then heard her mother next to her say in astonishment:

"So complicated? Then I can think of it too, it's not difficult at all."

Stupid people will always judge the difficulty based on the answer. Guan Yaxi pouted, "Creating a nuclear bomb is also very complicated, but the difficulty is the process of its first birth." "Not bad!" Zhang Yuanqing smiled slightly.

The spirit body who was about to smile was stunned. She hadn't seen Zhang Yuanqing smile so nervously for many years. Usually, he was either aloof, pretentious, or sneering, or smiling insincerely.

Zhu Rong on the other side, stared at the young man in the image, and the little gigolo next to her heard her heavy breathing.

Elder Hongying nodded with satisfaction and smiled:

"This child is very stupid, but he has quick wit, Old Sun, you sober up."

Elder Sun: "..."

Yi Tu Ke

Elder Gou slowly said:

Gu "Yuan Shi has an extremely strong talent in facing copies. Watch, the other seven players are in trouble."

Elder Hong Huan "um" said: "I haven't seen such an excellent junior in many years, the last one was the devil"

She seemed to have remembered something unpleasant, and the smile on her face subsided.

Sun Shiyu grabbed the briefcase and rushed out of the secret room.

He had to get to the scene of the crime before the detective team came to arrest him and find clues to prove his innocence.

According to his speculation, when he arrives at the scene of the crime, he will have time to defend himself, and in any place outside the scene of the crime, if he is discovered by the detective team, he will inevitably be besieged.

Eliminated.

"Wait, see how I counter-kill you five traitors."
