Designate the murderer, obliterate........Zhang Yuanqing listened to the prompt in his ear, his expression unchanging, but his heart suddenly understood.
He had felt it strange before, the instance arranged a captain role for him, but it had to be kept secret, and the traitor could not be voted out. What was the point of such a captain's identity?
Now he understood, the captain's power was here.
"My role has the power of obliteration, the evil-doer must also have similar means, so the River God died unclearly. But my power can only be exercised after completing the task, the murderer must also have conditions to use his ability, what are his conditions? It's impossible to just give away an obliteration spot for free." Zhang Yuanqing's mind raced.
"I have already reviewed the scenes after entering the instance, and found nothing abnormal, the condition for the murderer to trigger the obliteration power should be inconspicuous, only he himself knows the way."
Who to kill?
Zhang Yuanqing's thinking was at its peak, he quickly locked onto three characters: Xie Lingxi, Fire Demon, and Xishi.
And among these three people, he most wanted to kill the black long straight-haired girl.
Although she was a delicate little beauty that made one want to protect her, after hearing that the subsequent experience included a haunted house, Zhang Yuanqing really couldn't help but want to target her just now.
But that was just a temporary impulse.
"The old strategy guide doesn't mention the series, at least it's not written, this should be a change triggered after the difficulty of Jinshui Amusement Park changed. Xie Lingxi probably doesn't know either.......With the difficulty of an S-level instance, maybe no matter what entertainment facilities we choose to experience, we will end up in a haunted house, it's unavoidable, at most the order of the haunted houses is different......"
"There is too little information at the moment, it is almost impossible to find the evil-doer, half relying on deduction and half relying on guessing, there is not much certainty. If I point the wrong person, I will lose a team member for nothing. On the contrary, it puts myself at a disadvantage.
"But if I do nothing, the next one to die will definitely be me, maybe I'll be lucky enough to point out the murderer."
He was in a dilemma for a moment, not knowing whether to take a risk based on feeling, or to play it safe and observe more.
Both choices carried corresponding risks.
Since I, as the captain, can't make a decision, then what is the evil-doer, the traitor, thinking at this moment? Zhang Yuanqing planned to think about the problem from another perspective:
"His hidden task should be to kill people, but it is not certain whether he knows about the existence of the captain, let's not consider this aspect for now......I said just now that I didn't observe any abnormalities, the blindfolded strategy hasn't changed, this is a very obvious hint.
"The murderer is not stupid, he should know that I "suspect" there is a traitor in the team, then next he will choose to be cautious, and then look for a suitable opportunity to kill me, when is the suitable opportunity, this is very important.
"The role identity is a hidden task, not a main task, the murderer also has to consider that killing people too quickly will increase his own risk in the subsequent tasks."
Jinshui Amusement Park is an S-level difficulty, Zhang Yuanqing doesn't believe that the evil-doer's task is simply to reduce the number of team members.
If it's that simple, then it's not S-level.
Continuing to think along this line of thought: "After discovering that there is no way to avoid the terrible paranormal tasks, the murderer is unlikely to kill people at a high frequency, because he needs companions, he needs cannon fodder, and I, who have shown a certain ability, am a very good candidate."
"So, the time to kill me should be after passing the haunted house, or during the process.......
"Well, these are all my speculations, which need to be verified, I'll use the 'Underground Parking Lot' to test him. There is still half an hour before the next task, I'll take this opportunity to do another round of reconnaissance......"
After understanding, Zhang Yuanqing decided to give up this captain's power.
........
"Damn, in the end I can't avoid the haunted house!"
On the square, Fire Demon, who received the instance prompt, was a little mentally broken, he glared at the beautiful little girl: "Damn it, I'm going to be killed by you."
Xie Lingxi pouted her little mouth, aggrieved:
"I, I don't want to either.
"I didn't know that S-level instances would become like this, I haven't been here before.......”
Fire Demon grabbed his fiery red hair irritably, and cursed:
"I knew I shouldn't have listened to you, messing around with ideas, what to do now, the haunted house must be very dangerous, what is the old version of the strategy guide? I think everyone should discuss it."
Xie Lingxi shook her head: "I, I don't know, there are too many amusement park facilities, I only remember a part......"
"Don't know? Do you think I'll believe it? Are you treating me like a three-year-old!" Fire Demon was furious.
"Why are you so fierce....." Xie Lingxi was on the verge of tears.
She looked seventeen or eighteen years old, probably still a high school student, and was shouted at by Fire Demon, both aggrieved and innocent, looking like she was about to cry.
"Enough!"
The simple and honest middle-aged man took the initiative and stopped the two from arguing.
He looked at Fire Demon calmly: "No one can understand the amusement park after the difficulty change, it's not her fault, besides, everyone voted for the roller coaster before."
What the middle-aged man said made sense, but Fire Demon's temper was up, he didn't listen to advice at all, and glared at him:
"What's it to you when I'm talking, do you want to play the good guy here?"
"I'm not playing the good guy, I just want you to shut up! If you don't want to shut up, I can help you!"
A flash of fierceness flashed in the eyes of this middle-aged man with a honest and simple appearance.
Seeing this, Zhang Yuanqing knew that he should come forward, and quickly stepped forward, standing between the two, and said with a smile:
"Calm down, calm down, if you keep arguing, half an hour will pass. Uncle, give me some face, I'll treat you to wine after clearing Jinshui Amusement Park. Fire Bro, you can find me as much as you want after leaving the instance, I'm from Yangcheng, the poached chicken in Yangcheng is the best, tender and smooth, and very moist......."
His jokes and playful smile diluted the tense atmosphere.
Fire Demon and the middle-aged man took the opportunity to step down and let the matter pass.
The group of six followed the signs, left the square, and walked through the brightly lit amusement park.
A cool breeze blew slowly, and the dark sky was like a boundless black swan curtain, with no stars and no moon.
The dreamy and dazzling lights of the amusement park were the only light source in this world.
The empty roller coaster roared and sped along the track; the pendulum and pirate ship swayed non-stop; the carousel turned slowly in the joyful music.......
The self-driving bumper cars crashed and collided with each other on the field.
The style of painting suddenly changed from fairytale-like dreamy to hellish......
Along the way, no one spoke, the atmosphere between the team members was extremely silent and stiff, everyone maintained a certain distance from each other, neither far away nor close.
Obviously, they have understood my hints and began to suspect the death of River God, next I have to test them one by one, alas, it's really troublesome not to expose my identity.......Zhang Yuanqing actually doesn't care whether his identity as captain will be guessed.
Because it doesn't matter.
Once the evil-doer has a suitable opportunity, the first person he will kill is him, without any hesitation.
He quickly walked towards Xie Lingxi and said:
"Lingxi, are you a high school student, where are you from?"
"I'm from Jiangnan Province, Wang Tai, I'm in my third year of high school this year."
"What a coincidence, I'm a student at Jiangnan University, let's exchange phone numbers, I can tutor you with your homework and give you one-on-one private lessons after clearing Jinshui Amusement Park."
"Okay, okay."
"Then do you have a boyfriend?"
"Why do you ask?"
"If you have a boyfriend, it won't be convenient to give you private lessons."
"Ah? Why."
.......
"Xishi, what do you do for work?"
"I'm a nurse."
Nurse? The kind of nurse who wears a uniform and gives injections......Zhang Yuanqing made a very admired expression on his face:
"I respect white angels the most."
Xishi's eyes were watery, and she said flirtatiously, as if hinting at something:
"Actually, you don't have to respect me so much, I prefer men to be wild and rude, and dominate me as much as possible."
Zhang Yuanqing was silent for a moment, and then smiled: "Let's sleep together when we have time."
........
Zhang Yuanqing then walked towards "Unworthy Father" and said casually:
"Uncle, do you have a daughter?"
The middle-aged man squinted his eyes and "hmm"ed.
Zhang Yuanqing asked curiously: "Your relationship with your daughter must be very bad."
The middle-aged man's honest face instantly turned gloomy, and he said coldly: "It's none of your business."
"Sorry, sorry....."
........
Keeping a distance from the middle-aged man, he quickly caught up with the red-haired youth in front, this person was skinny, with small and sharp eyes, and his eyebrows flew upwards, giving people a feeling of impatience and rudeness.
After a few compliments from Zhang Yuanqing, Fire Demon smiled and felt that this kid was very pleasant to talk to and was willing to talk to him.
When Zhang Yuanqing asked him about his views on his teammates, Fire Demon said carelessly:
"These teammates are not very normal, the little girl pretends to be pitiful the whole time, the big-breasted woman seems very casual, but when I asked her if she wanted to go down and have a roll in the hay on the roller coaster platform, she didn't even pay attention to me. That uncle looks like the least good person."
As he said, Fire Demon looked back at the energetic young man Qi Tiandasheng who was trying to please Xie Lingxi, with a look of disdain:
"This is just a useless wimp. Wang Tai brother, I think you are the most pleasing in this team."
"Thank you, thank you, Fire Bro, I also think you are the most reliable."
........
Zhang Yuanqing finally approached the energetic young man wearing bean shoes and tight pants, and said: "Dasheng, can I have a word with you?"
Qi Tiandasheng looked at Xie Lingxi reluctantly and followed Zhang Yuanqing to the side.
"What's the matter?" He cast an inquiring look at this very sociable young man.
"What do you think of these two girls?" Zhang Yuanqing said with a smirk.
Qi Tiandasheng glanced at Xie Lingxi: "Pretty, the little butt is pretty perky, but the chest is small."
Looking at Xishi again: "Big breasts, round butt, but doesn't like to pay attention to people."
As for Fire Demon and the middle-aged man, Qi Tiandasheng believed that the former had a violent temper and was difficult to get along with, so he kept his distance. The latter was taciturn, but occasionally gave good advice.
Zhang Yuanqing suddenly said in a low voice:
"If I die, try your best to kill that uncle, he is an evil profession."
Qi Tiandasheng was shocked, his eyes widened, he opened his mouth subconsciously, and then closed it immediately, his face became vigilant and cautious.
........
Ten minutes later, the group came to the underground parking garage on the west side of the amusement park and stopped at the slope entrance.
Through the downward slope, everyone saw that the garage was lit with bright lights, and faintly visible rows of dusty cars were neatly arranged.
The garage was silent.
Zhang Yuanqing looked at Xie Lingxi and asked on behalf of everyone:
"What is the strategy for this level?"
........
ps: These chapters are quite brain-burning to write, this kind of plot is obviously impossible to produce quickly, so there were fewer words yesterday. Also, it has suddenly turned cold recently, I have a cold and cough, and I am not in a very good condition.
