It was soon noon, and the long-term motionless APP issued instructions to everyone to ask the rest of the players to go to the banquet hall to gather for dinner.
As with yesterday, the captain should announce the second round of voting at lunchtime.
The antique clock in the banquet hall rang twelve times, and everyone was already sitting in the banquet hall.
The table was full of delicious food, but obviously everyone was not in the mood to enjoy the food. There was a solemn expression on their faces, and some people even sweated coldly on their foreheads.
It's already the game the next day, and the dawn of victory is about to be seen. No one wants to give up halfway at this time.
The meal was almost over, and the captain hadn't come yet. Gradually, someone began to be unable to calm down. He looked left and right frequently, and his little movements continued, as if they could sit still.
Especially Lu Zhongze next to Lu Shijin, sometimes stood up and moved the chair, and sometimes sat down to shake his thighs, making it difficult for people to ignore the movement on his side.
When Lu Zhongze raised his buttocks and moved the chair for the Nth time, and the feet of the chair and the ground made a harsh and abrupt friction, Lu Shijin finally couldn't help turning his head and looking at him.
Lu Zhongze immediately caught Lu Shijin's eyes, and finally there was a speaker. Lu Zhongze couldn't wait to come to Lu Shijin, "You're also nervous, aren't you?"
Lu Shijin hooked the corners of his mouth perfunctoryly: "How's it okay?"
Lu Zhongze looked at him nervously: "Did you vote?"
Lu Shi shook his head calmly.
Lu Zhongze glanced at Rong Zhi on the opposite side, "Where is he?"
Lu Shijin: "No." After a pause, he said, "It's the second round. No one should vote without knowing who the murderer is, right?"
"That may not be," a strange smile appeared on Lu Zhongze's face. "Other people may not vote, but do you forget? There is another person who can vote for whomever he wants.
Lu Shijin's mind flashed and opened his eyes slightly, "You mean?"
"Yes," Lu Zhongze sneered, "It's the real murderer. His task is different from ours. As long as his identity is not exposed, he will win, so he is not restricted by voting."
Lu Shi raised his eyebrows now. Lu Zhongze was right. He actually forgot this.
I thought the second round should be calm, but now after Lu Zhongze's reminder, I'm afraid things will not be so simple.
If the murderer does not vote in the first round, the murderer will definitely throw out the person who poses the greatest threat to him in the second round!
Lu Shijin, who was originally calm in this round, couldn't help but get nervous.
Silent prayer, it's all over. Don't throw him and Rong Zhi!
Lu Zhongze seemed to guess Lu Shijin's thoughts and continued in a low voice, "Let me tell you, if someone is thrown out in this round, then the murderer must be among the five people who did not vote in the first round. Do you understand?"
Of course, Lu Shijin understood and deliberately said quietly, "But it is also possible that the murderer had already voted in the first round. And I think if the murderer is smart enough, he will not vote in the second round, narrowing the scope of the suspect, which is not good for him.
"What you said makes sense," Lu Zhongze smiled. "Then let's wait for the result."
As soon as he finished speaking, the captain walked into the banquet hall. Everyone held their breath and followed the captain, waiting for him to announce the start of voting.
Captain: "Good afternoon, Dr. Xu has examined Mr. Lu's body, and the cause of death will be found later in the afternoon. Before that, I was worried that the murderer would attack others. I believe that after a day of observation, everyone has mastered some new clues. If anyone feels that he has confirmed who the murderer is and wants to identify it, I would welcome it very much.
After the captain finished speaking, the vibration of the mobile phone sounded on the table one after another, and the same voting interface appeared on the mobile phone screen as last time. The difference is that there is a row of bright red prompts at the top of this interface.
"Be careful, this will be your last chance to identify the murderer. Please vote carefully!!!"
The banquet hall was silent, and everyone looked down at their mobile phone screen. Whether they had voted or not, the expression on their faces was not relaxed.
This is not a game, but a big bet. Betting is your own life.
This gamble is destined that no one will be the winner, because even if it wins, it is premised on sacrificing other people's lives.
As long as it is a gamble, the banker will win.
"The voting is over."
The captain didn't give everyone much time to think about it. As soon as the time came, he closed the voting interface.
"The results of the voting will be announced within three minutes. Please wait here for a moment."
The captain went out, leaving the rest in the banquet hall waiting for the result.
Everyone should feel the same way. They have never felt that three minutes have been so long, and every second is suffering to them.
"Someone will die, and some people will definitely die..." Lu Zhongze was already sweating coldly and said, "The murderer will definitely vote. We can't win!"
"You're arguing to death! Can you be quiet? What nonsense!" Miss Gao, who sat next to him, couldn't listen anymore. She patted the table and drank low. "The tickets are all over. What's the use of talking about this now!" I'm so afraid of death. Why are you coming in? Stay and continue to do the task!"
Lu Zhongze looked at her quietly, with a strange hoarse tone: "Do you think you can get out of here alive?" The person who set up this ultimate challenge doesn't want us to leave alive at all. Look, the murderer will destroy us, but before that, hey hey... Someone will die first..."
Everyone was caught in the cold behind by his strange smile, and the haze in their hearts was getting heavier and heavier.
Although they have tried to keep calm, they all know that Lu Zhongze is telling the truth.
These people have entered the ultimate challenge smoothly, thinking that the difficulty of the ultimate challenge will be similar to the tasks they have done before, but they ignore that in the task, the characters they face are only NPCs made of data, let alone systematic help.
Here, they are fighting alone, and their opponents are real players with different hearts.
Many people regret that they should not impulsively enter the final challenge. They should stay in a different world and continue to do tasks, at least they can still live in a different world.
And if the final challenge fails, their last consciousness in the world will be erased, and there will be no longer be themselves in the world.
"The result is out!"
The captain's bell-like voice suddenly floated in from the outside, and the thunder woke up of everyone immersed in their respective emotions.
Lu Zhongze reacted and eagerly asked the captain, "Is anyone thrown out?"
The captain gave him a secret look, did not answer, and walked high to the table.
The tense atmosphere spread, and the air seemed to condense, so quiet that I couldn't even hear the sound of breathing.
Lu Shi was also very nervous and clutched the handrail with both hands. Judging from the captain's eyes just now, someone must have been out of this round.
Who will it be?
The captain turned a blind eye to everyone's nervousness and announced on business: "Gentlemen, the voting results have come out. There is only one person voting in this round of voting..."
Lu Zhongze stood up and shouted, "I'll say it!" The murderer will definitely vote!" He pointed to the people who did not vote in the first round, "The murderer is among you!"
"Quiet down, Mr. Lu. Can you finish listening to me?" The captain was unhappy and knocked on the table twice to signal everyone to be quiet.
Lu Zhongze closed his mouth and sat back, muttering that he didn't know what he was cursing.
Lu Shijin felt that Lu Zhongze was almost stunned, but it was normal. Under this pressure, it was only a matter of time for mental breakdown.
"...that is to say, only one person got the votes, and this person is--"
The captain looked at the right-hand side first, and there were three people sitting on the right, Mrs. Li, the babysitter and Rong Zhi.
When Lu Shijin saw the captain looking to the right, he was afraid that the captain would shout a calm name the next second, and his heart was about to jump to his throat.
Fortunately, the captain quickly withdrew his sight and looked to the left.
Now, it's the turn of the person sitting on the left to worry about his fate. The person on the left sat as neatly as before, and there was no shortage of them.
The captain looked at them like a sharp knife. The five of them sweated coldly and held their breaths, waiting for the sharp blade of the judgment to finally penetration into whose chest.
The captain raised his hand and pointed straight to Mr. Feng: "I'm sorry, Mr. Feng, you got this only vote. Please follow us in the interrogation room. We have some questions for you."
Mr. Feng's face was pale as paper and pointed to himself in disbelief, "What? Is it me? How can it be me?! Why!"
He stood up with excitement that his facial muscles were twitching. His reaction was exactly the same as when Mr. Li knew that he had been thrown out and shouted, "Who are you voted for me!" Who wants to hurt me! Who! Stand up!"
Of course, the voters would not stand up, and poor Mr. Feng didn't toss around for too long. He was soon left by the sailor on the ship and dragged him to the interrogation room.
The people who stayed watched Mr. Feng dragged away like a dead fish, and knew in their heart that he should never come back.
For a while, everyone's faces were different. Some people were happy for the rest of their lives after the disaster, while others were sad and affectionate.
Next, we will interrogate Mr. Feng, and the results will be announced to you soon. In addition, in addition to the first and second floors, the area on the third floor is also open to everyone.
After saying that, the captain left the banquet hall again. The third round opened the scene of the murder. There must be many secrets hidden in Mr. Lu's room.
Lu Zhongze escaped, and a proud smile immediately appeared on his face, which was completely different from him, who had just been frustrated.
"Well, I'm sure that the murderer is among those people. Don't think it's safe to hide in the dark. You can't escape this time!"
Miss Gao beside her sneered, "Don't say it so full, what if Mr. Feng is the murderer?" If so, it will be fun, game over."
"Impossible," Mrs. Feng shook her head pale face. "He's not. Think about it, Mr. Lu and I are at least 'father-daughter' relationship. Even if we want to attack him, how can we kill him?
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "So, as you say, can't the suspicion of those of us with blood connections be ruled out?" That's all that's left--"
Mrs. Li glanced at Miss Gao, Lu Shijin and the babysitter one by one. Although she didn't say everything, what she wanted to say was self-evident.
Lu Shijin sneered secretly. This is just out of the game, and some people can't wait to have a rhythm.
Lu Shijin took a calm sip of water calmly. He was not in a loud voice, but he threw himself in a sound: "At this time, it is either brain-damaged or the murderer who still wants to confuse the line of sight. It's the third round. If you don't work together to find the murderer, do you have to wait until the murderer wins and is satisfied with all the people?"
Mrs. Li was ridiculed by Lu Shijin and blushed, but she also realized that what she had just said was wrong. She just stared at Lu Shijin and did not refute it again.
"Okay, okay, let's not fight," Lu Zhongze stood up as a peacemaker. "I'm right now. Our top priority now is to work together to find out the murderer. If you are not sure who the real murderer is, don't mess around. This is our last chance. Now that the third floor is open, the cause of the old man's death will be announced in the afternoon. Our chances of winning are still very high. Let's unite to find out the culprit!"
Unfortunately, Lu Zhongze's impassioned speech did not receive much response, and others looked blank.
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Lu Zhongze touched his nose in embarrassment. Suddenly, his mobile phone shook down, so he let him relieve his embarrassment.
"The results of the interrogation have been announced! Mr. Feng is really not the murderer!"
"Don't be happy too early," Mrs. Li said. "Don't forget that since the murderer hasn't been found yet, it means that someone will die again tonight."
