Chapter 146: Peacock's Shadow

Comparing it like this, everyone suddenly realized. There was a hint of admiration in Xiao Li's eyes.

As expected of a high-level player, even such details can be analyzed.

Su Mian rubbed her fingers, her attention on his hand, and then looked up.

"Wait, compare your second method again."

Although Meng Ziqi was confused, he still followed Su Mian's instructions. When he compared it to three, she shouted stop. Everyone was confused. Su Mian waved her hand, "Change the angle."

Meng Ziqi twisted his wrist, and the gesture was clearly an "OK."

Qiao Yinuo's eyes widened, and she spoke incoherently and excitedly, "That! That, that painting photo! The photo of 4-1!"

Su Mian hurriedly took out the photo to compare. That's it, exactly the same. The gesture in the photo is also comparing "OK," or rather, it's not "OK," but...

"Peacock's shadow."

Su Mian said something out of the blue. She slapped her thigh and stood up abruptly.

"When her mother-in-law was still alive, she should have been teaching the child to use fingers to compare animals, similar to puppies, dinosaurs, peacocks, etc., a hand shadow game to amuse the child."

Wang Xiaonan's mouth opened into an "O" shape. She really admired them; she couldn't say anything other than "awesome."

Meng Ziqi: "Auntie Liu's needle-threading action is also like this, so, the murderer was touched by the scene? Then why did that high school student die again?"

After saying that, everyone rushed to Du Yuekang's house without stopping.

When Du Yuekang died yesterday, everyone's attention was drawn away by Xiao Li, so no one noticed his state when he died. Du Yuekang was sitting at the table studying, with an open physics textbook by his hand.

Qiao Yinuo picked up the textbook and examined it carefully.

"People's Education Edition Elective Volume 1, Chapter 4, 'Light'."

Xiao Li took a look and scratched his head, very unfamiliar with these, "It shouldn't have anything to do with the textbook content, right?"

Su Mian, however, slammed the table, startling everyone. She pointed to the page Qiao Yinuo turned to, specifically to a paragraph of text.

"Pinhole imaging."

As the words fell, the air was silent for a moment. Meng Ziqi understood instantly, raised his hand to applaud, with appreciation in his eyes.

"Amazing."

Wang Xiaonan said "Ah?" not understanding what kind of riddle they were playing.

Su Mian made a peacock gesture, then pressed down her middle finger to form a triangular area. The field of vision within the triangular area would become clear, and the light from distant objects would focus in advance, acting on the retina. The principle is pinhole imaging.

Meng Ziqi ran out in a hurry and brought back the diary.

"I graduated and became a streamer, but my boyfriend didn't agree, insisting that this industry wouldn't last long. I don't believe it."

"This time, let me stay by your side, mother-in-law. The rental is settled. They actually said 4-1 is haunted... What a joke, where would there be ghosts in our house."

"Also, your condition is getting worse and worse, so bad that you can't open your eyes. I'm so sad."

"Look, I compared that animal at your bedside. If you remember, open your eyes quickly..."

Closing the diary, Meng Ziqi took a deep breath. All the information was verified.

But if these three people all came from the same person's consciousness, then who is the murderer?

The discussion returned to the starting point again. Although the motive for murder was discovered, the murderer remained elusive. When everyone was about to disperse, Su Mian patted Qiao Yinuo on the shoulder.

"Dong Xuan, I forgot to collect rent from one house, but my phone is out of power. Can you lend me your phone?"

Qiao Yinuo was stunned for a moment, nodded, and handed the phone to Su Mian. Su Mian immediately took the phone to the corner and clicked on the fresh delivery software. Her breathing stalled instantly.

1000 vegetable coins.

Buying a fresh delivery requires a minimum of about 100 vegetable coins. If you only buy today's must-buys, it's completely enough. One continuance is exchanged for 100 vegetable coins, and how much did Qiao Yinuo exchange???

More than ten times?!

Is she crazy?

Su Mian shouted in her heart, but her face was just slightly heavy. She swiped, and a "prop" category appeared in the purchase record.

But seeing Qiao Yinuo walking this way, she could only make a fake phone call and return the phone to Qiao Yinuo, but her palms were full of sweat.

So, what is spent on continuance is memory, right? Memories of the main world.

She was dazed for a moment, immediately pondered the names of her father and mother in her mind, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she didn't forget them, but... some memories were indeed blurred.

She couldn't remember the name of the school she attended in high school, and she couldn't remember any of the classmates or teachers in the class. This was definitely not right for Su Mian, who had a photographic memory.

She rushed to the balcony abruptly. Sure enough, a truck was parked downstairs. The carriage was airtight, and a large logo was printed on it.

The delivery person was wearing a mask, and his face and figure could not be seen clearly. He quickly got into the car and drove it into the mist.

The mist is an area that players cannot reach. It should have nothing to do with the script murder, a void world. If you step into it, you will be wiped out.

NPCs are automatically set not to approach, but that person drove the car in openly. It's too wrong.

Su Mian's hand gripping the edge of the balcony slowly tightened. Her sixth sense told her that a doomsday targeting players was coming.

Perhaps because her heartstrings were too tight, Su Mian had a bizarre dream at night. In the dream, she was still in the instance, but the location was not her own house, but... opposite.

Before Su Mian could react, she was pressed against the wall, no, the window.

Si She's sliding window turned into a floor-to-ceiling window. Although it was only on the seventh floor, Su Mian, who had a fear of heights, still felt her legs go weak. She leaned back a little, and the touch brought her some surprise.

It was actually human form.

Okay, off track, why is she here?

"Your tail brushed against me, Landlord Miss."

Si She's voice startled her. His voice was much deeper and hoarser than usual, which made one's hair stand on end, a feeling of danger approaching.

Wait, tail? What tail?

She turned her head and saw a tail like a feather duster on her waist. She swallowed her saliva instantly, feeling something was wrong.

By the way, wasn't Cinderella's bell prop used up long ago? Where did this tail come from?

She looked up along the line of sight of her tail and saw the cold face she had always wanted to see.

It was also the first time Su Mian saw Si She's original cold face. She was a little curious and stared at his face unconsciously for a long time.

As a result, Si She in the dream frowned. He grabbed the girl's swaying tail and pushed her against the wall by her shoulder blades.

Su Mian felt a jolt, and the electric current went up along her spine. She was pinched by the back of her neck and forced to look forward.

"Peeping at me? You seem to be at ease."
