Chapter 91 Hopeless Sea (Twenty-two) Vice
Chang Xu dragged the skeleton brought down from the top of the bell tower and walked through the coconut grove.
The brain peeled off the cocoon on its own, replaying the words Qisi said when he parted with him.
‘Xila’s configuration of the official copy is usually a group of three, which means there are two puppets left. ’
‘When I die, I will have plenty of time to catch up on my sleep. ’
‘I’ve been targeted. Whether I can survive this dungeon is up for grabs. ’
Scenes reappeared before my eyes, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously.
Chang Xu had an intuition that something difficult to solve would happen. He and Qisi were on the edge of a cliff, pulled by a dead branch, and would fall into the abyss at any time.
It's getting late. Chang Xu placed the skeleton in the forest, turned around and walked towards the hotel.
The coconut groves on both sides change from dense to sparse, and the scenery in front of you becomes wider. A two-story wooden building stands quietly in the open space.
Under the dim sky, the hotel building was eerily silent, and the air felt suspiciously stagnant and depressing, just like the few minutes before it rained on a cloudy day.
Chang Xu strode over.
Just when his hand was about to touch the doorknob, the door was pulled open from the inside.
The person who opened the door was a small man. After seeing him, he seemed to have encountered some dangerous person. He took a step back, his eyes full of disgust and fear.
Chang Xu looked past this man and looked around the entire hall on the first floor.
There were only eight people including him in the hall, and there was no sign of Qiss.
Everyone's face was solemn, staring straight at him, conveying a message of caution.
Chang Xu immediately realized that something related to Qis might have happened during his absence.
A man sneered: "Ye Linsheng is dead, do you know?"
Chang Xu remembered that "Ye Linsheng" was the long-haired young man who always followed Lu Li.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the little man yelling: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go together! He and that Si Qi stuck together as soon as they entered the dungeon, and they are probably the same team!"
The players stood up one after another, picked up the guy and surrounded it, staring eagerly.
Chang Xu's back tensed instinctively, and the fingertips of his left hand lit up with a blue light, slowly condensing into a black playing card.
[Name: Destiny Poker]
[Type: Skill]
[Effect: You can use it as an ordinary cutting weapon, or you can use it to predict or even rewrite the fate of others (to be evolved, the specific operation method to be explored)]
[Note: Your fate is not in the world line In the compilation of the book, it is natural that there is no way to get the favor of the God of fate. Luck is nowhere to be found, misfortune follows like a shadow; the gods are absent and the throne is vacant, who can the belated believers pray to? 】
More than a dozen playing cards were suspended around him, forming a protective ring. He observed the expressions of everyone in front of him, knowing that something might have happened to Qiss.
A flying knife came towards him, Chang Xu activated the card, and the blue light flashed, splitting it in half.
The melee was about to break out, and the players' figures were painted in various colors in Chang Xu's eyes. The landing points and paths of weapons and attacks were marked with red lines, and the entire piece was cut into crisscrosses and rendered into pale gold. Space picture.
The lines appeared in darker or lighter colors based on the estimated damage caused. The Destiny Poker faced the most deadly attacks and exploded in the air the moment it blocked it.
The blue light spots splashed like snowflakes, and the players attacked one after another.
Chang Xu never fought back, he only dodged the crimson lines sideways, jumped up, and ran into a large mess of red water.
Blood spattered and seeped into the black clothes, making it difficult to see clearly.
He quickly analyzed the situation and rushed to Lu Li who was sitting behind the crowd without saying a word.
"No! Protect Professor Lu!"
Some players realized something was wrong, but it was too late.
The blue light flew to the corner of the wall carrying the spilled blood beads. Chang Xu stood firmly in front of Lu Li like a stone tablet and placed the playing cards around his neck.
The players' movements all stopped, and the scene fell into a stalemate.
Chang Xu's black clothes seeped with blood, and fell in a shallow circle on the ground, but his voice did not waver at all: "Where is Si Qi?"
Lu Li looked up into his eyes and asked, "What is your relationship with Si Qi?"
"He is my teammate." Chang Xu said, "I promised him that I will do my best. Take him away from this copy."
Lu Li smiled: "He is a puppet, kill Ye Linsheng, do you know?"
Qis is a puppet? How is that possible?
In the Rose Manor, he was obviously unfamiliar with the name of the Silas Guild, and now he is not interested in their ideas...
Chang Xu remained silent.
Lu Lizuo suddenly realized: "Oh, that's right, Hans, Siqi, and Qi, there are exactly three puppets. We have found them all."
"I am not a puppet." Chang Xu said coldly, "I suspect you are. You are eager to seize the leadership position and deliberately guide our ideas for solving the puzzle. It is very suspicious." "Still want to quibble?" The little man sneered, "You are the only one who has contact with Si Qi. "But who are you?"
The bells rang without warning, and overlapping vibrations intertwined with each other, covering the entire island from the sky, not urgent. Tap slowly nine times.
Lu Li forced a smile, and his voice mixed with the bells added solemnity: "We can't jump to conclusions. Maybe Chang Xu was also deceived by Si Qi, and he is a victim like us."
"Puppet Master" He is good at acting and calculating people's hearts, and can easily create any face, deceive and plan. The puppet is controlled by him and naturally inherits these abilities from him."
"Such a situation may be happening now. In the plan, we can make us suspicious of each other and consume the number of people."
Chang Xu's eyes were a little gloomy when he said these words firmly.
He suddenly realized that he could not rule out the suspicion that Chiss was from Sila.
In "Rose Manor", Qisi planned to plot both him and Lin Chen, and he was able to act from beginning to end without letting him know the clues.
How could he be sure that Qisi's performance this time was not deliberate disguise and deception?
Furthermore, Qis is indeed the most suspect regarding the copy of "Carnivore"...
The little man asked hesitantly: "How do we judge whether a living person is a puppet?"< br>
Lu Li stroked his fingers and said calmly: "The puppet silk must be tied to the little finger of the puppet's right hand. Just cut off the little finger and see if it turns into wood. It will be clear at a glance."
His voice was unhurried and unhurried, and he did provide a feasible solution. Compared with the lives of his family, a little finger seemed like a dispensable sacrifice.
Chang Xu looked sideways at his right hand, and with a thought, a black card condensed out of thin air and was drawn downwards.
The pale little finger rolled to the ground, its edges flushed red, and the whole finger had a fleshy color.
Blood gurgled out from the wound and dripped onto the ground, covering the dried blood stains left by Lu Li last night.
The little man bent down and looked at the fingers on the ground, and smiled sarcastically: "Chang Xu, I'm sorry, we misunderstood you."
Lu Li also smiled bitterly: "The puppet master is still so good at playing with people's hearts. If I hadn't dealt with him before, I might have accidentally injured our companions again this time."
The players pretended to express their apologies and condolences. There isn't much real emotion.
Decisions made by the group are spread out to everyone, leaving very little responsibility.
Chang Xu seemed to be completely unable to feel the pain of the injury. He maintained the posture of holding Lu Li hostage and asked calmly: "Can you tell me what happened now?"
Lu Li sighed. Tone: "Si Qi killed Ye Linsheng, and when I realized it, it was already too late. He almost killed me too. Fortunately, a prop on Xiao Ye's body worked and controlled him... Only then did I know that he turned out to be Xi Pull's puppet."
He placed a piece of papyrus-like prop on the table.
Chang Xu picked up the paper with two fingers and glanced at the system prompts that appeared on the surface.
[Name: Seal of Hammurabi (lost)]
[Type: Prop]
[Effect: After suffering a fatal attack and losing life, 10% chance of returning the attack to the source】
[Remarks: A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye]
Is it probability again?
Chang Xu felt that he seemed to have discovered some doubts, but he could not connect them logically.
Words that are indistinguishable from false to true come to life in my memory.
‘In the collective decision-making of irrational individuals, the probability of accidentally killing a good person is more than half. ’
‘You may encounter many things that you cannot understand next, and I don’t expect you to trust me without reservation. ’
‘Brother Chang, if everyone believes that I am the mastermind behind this, will you believe it? ’
The situation is indeed strange, and Zis seems to have expected it.
Should he trust Zeiss and believe that he is misunderstood?
Chang Xu's mind was in confusion and he frowned: "Where is Si Qi? I want to see him."
Lu Li took a deep breath and exhaled, and said, "On the second floor, Ye Linsheng's room."
After getting the information he wanted, Chang Xu let go of Lu Li and quickly climbed up the stairs.
He returned to his room and reached under the pillow of Qisi's bed. The statue of Poseidon was gone.
He felt cold in his heart, following his memory, he walked into the room Lu Li mentioned.
The pale corpse of the long-haired young man lay across the big bed, like a dead fish with its belly turned over.
The young man in a white shirt was lying in the corner, wrapped in countless bloody threads, showing a strange posture.
Chang Xu dragged a long trail of blood across the bed and walked straight to the corner of the room, looking down at the body on the ground.
The young man's eyes were lifeless, his skin had the texture of wood, and there was no trace of human emotion from top to bottom. He looked like a puppet that had been dead for a long time.
Seeing is believing. All the previous doubts and entanglements were now settled, and Chang Xu felt calmer than ever before.
——He was cheated, and the person who cheated him died.
