Chapter 49 Desperate Situation
Did the rules of the amusement park's entertainment facilities change after it became S-class?
Everyone looked at the body of He Bo and the head in the Fire Demon's arms, their faces extremely ugly.
As the roller coaster stopped, the six Spirit Realm Travelers simultaneously received a prompt:
[Next round begins in: 00:04:40]
"The next round starts in five minutes..." The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, sitting in the last row, looked at He Bo's headless corpse in front of him, his face tense:
"If the rule of closing our eyes is invalid, then someone among us will die in the next round. We have to find the rule quickly. Has anyone discovered anything?"
The Fire Demon still had a look of horror on his face. He threw the head out of the car and turned his head irritably, shouting:
"Who could discover any rules while keeping their eyes closed the whole time?"
The Man Who Feels Guilty For Being a Father frowned:
"If the rule of closing our eyes has changed, then we need to find a new rule, otherwise people will continue to die in the next two rounds."
Xi Shi bit her fiery red lips, "From the moment we decided to ride the roller coaster, I've been paying attention along the way, but I haven't found any valuable clues or information."
No clues or information meant they couldn't make targeted plans, and could only use the dumbest method—trial and error.
But the cost of trial and error...
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven looked grim:
"How could an S-class Spirit Realm give clear and explicit information for passing the level? If it was that simple, would it still be called S-class?"
Xie Lingxi thought for a moment and expressed her opinion:
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. We were misled by the old strategy and missed an opportunity to find the rule."
Her eyes were filled with tears, looking pitiful, as if she was extremely ashamed.
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven quickly said:
"It's okay, it's okay. There's no use talking about it now. No information doesn't mean there's no way. While we still have time, let's discuss it..."
After a pause, he continued:
"If the rule of closing our eyes has changed, then there are only two possibilities. One, the roller coaster's rule has become one death per round. He Bo is proof of that. Two, we missed an opportunity to observe because we kept our eyes closed."
Xi Shi's eyes lit up slightly, as if she was looking at him with new eyes: "So, we can't close our eyes next time."
Zhang Yuanqing listened to his companions' discussion, his thoughts drifting away...
"First, eliminate supernatural elements. Although my active skills are sealed, as a Night Watchman, I still have a sense of spiritual bodies. If it was the spirits in the amusement park causing trouble, it would be impossible for me to not sense anything."
"From the looks of it, the roller coaster still has three rounds. Since that hasn't changed, why would the rule of closing eyes change? Maybe, it's not the rule that's killing people..."
Zhang Yuanqing's heart jolted, and he thought of a possibility.
Could it be the work of an evil person hidden in the team? Has the villain started killing people? But how did he (or she) do it?
At this moment, 'The Man Who Feels Guilty For Being a Father' looked at the Fire Demon and suddenly asked:
"When He Bo died, why didn't you say anything to remind us? Why did you only say something after the car stopped?"
The Fire Demon raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean!"
The middle-aged man still looked simple and honest, and said calmly: "I'm just curious."
The Fire Demon glared at him and shouted, "Of course I felt it, the head smashed right into my arms! But did I dare speak? Did I dare open my eyes? What if I opened my mouth to remind you and I was the next one to die?"
The Man Who Feels Guilty For Being a Father didn't say anything more.
Zhang Yuanqing asked: "When did he die? Or rather, when did the head fall into your arms?"
The Fire Demon didn't hesitate: "When we hit the second slope."
Zhang Yuanqing immediately looked at Xi Shi: "You were next to him. Did you feel anything was wrong?"
Xi Shi shook her head, "I, I have a fear of heights, I was very scared, I didn't pay attention to what was happening around me..."
Zhang Yuanqing frowned deeply.
Judging from the seating arrangement, the most likely suspects were Xi Shi, the Fire Demon, and The Man Who Feels Guilty For Being a Father.
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, who was sitting one seat away, could basically be ruled out. With the physical qualities of the Transcendent stage, it would be unlikely that he could unbuckle his seatbelt, cross over the Fire Demon and The Man Who Feels Guilty For Being a Father in the front row, and kill He Bo in the second row.
Not to mention that it would be easily noticed by the two, the roller coaster's momentum alone would be enough to throw him out.
Thinking this, he turned his head and looked at the petite girl. With her height and arm length, if she wanted to turn around and kill someone, she would have to unbuckle her seatbelt.
So her possibility was also small.
Next was verifying whether the Fire Demon was lying, and confirming whether He Bo really died during that time period... Taking advantage of the fact that the second round hadn't started yet, Zhang Yuanqing closed his eyes and visualized his father's outline in his mind.
If He Bo didn't die when the roller coaster was speeding along, then the time period when the killer struck must have been the initial slow climb, when the roller coaster's momentum wasn't great.
And if he could collect the sound, he could directly lock onto the killer.
As his father's facial features gradually became clear, Zhang Yuanqing's heart skipped a beat, his mental power boiled, and the scene from the beginning of entering the Spirit Realm began to replay frame by frame.
He chewed on these scenes while patiently waiting.
Finally, they got into the car, and after the two-person roller coaster slowly started, Zhang Yuanqing couldn't see any more scenes, because he had closed his eyes at this moment.
But the sound wouldn't disappear. He captured the heartbeats and breathing of seven people.
Next was Xi Shi's short exclamation. The roller coaster dove straight down, rushing towards the second high slope in a rumbling sound. Just then, a heartbeat disappeared from the back row...
"Ah, what's wrong with you..."
Xie Lingxi exclaimed, looking in astonishment at the companion whose nose was bleeding.
The other members also stopped arguing and looked over.
"It's nothing, it's nothing!" Zhang Yuanqing waved his hand, wiped the blood from his nose, and forced a smile while enduring the throbbing pain in his brain, "I've had a habit of nosebleeds since I was a kid, especially when I see pretty girls."
Xie Lingxi blushed slightly upon hearing this.
Xi Shi and the Fire Demon cast suspicious glances, while the middle-aged man, The Man Who Feels Guilty For Being a Father, only glanced at him. The Great Sage Equaling Heaven in the back row took the opportunity to glance at Xie Lingxi's face and Xi Shi's chest.
Zhang Yuanqing maintained a calm expression, but he was already cursing in his heart.
He Bo's death proved that the evil person had special means of killing people!
"Silently taking someone's head without making any noise, this is a bit terrifying... I must find a way to stop him. One person is killed per round. After three rounds, there will only be four people left in the team, and we still have at least one entertainment project left. How are we supposed to play this?!"
If it really came to this, it would almost be a certain death.
If it wasn't the evil person killing people, but the roller coaster's rules, the outcome would still be the same.
The more Zhang Yuanqing thought about it, the more anxious he became, and cold sweat almost broke out on his forehead.
Everyone is a suspect, including Xie Lingxi next to me and The Great Sage Equaling Heaven in the back row... Zhang Yuanqing's gaze swept over everyone.
Xie Lingxi, who was frowning and thinking, Xi Shi, who looked uneasy, the silent middle-aged man, The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, whose eyes were hiding panic, and the cursing Fire Demon.
For a moment, he felt that these people were all acting, all harboring ulterior motives.
The crisis in this dungeon wasn't just the entertainment facilities, but also within the Spirit Realm Travelers themselves... Yuan Shi Tian Zun cursed in his heart.
At the same time, a question flashed through his mind again: Why was it He Bo who died?
Was the evil person killing people randomly, or was there another reason?
Assuming I was the werewolf and I had one chance to kill someone randomly, who would I kill? Thinking this, Zhang Yuanqing had an answer in his heart.
Kill the smartest person in the team!
"In that case, I'm the next one to die..." Zhang Yuanqing's scalp tingled.
......
ps: There's more coming soon.
