Chapter 352: Li Jianguo Is Not Killer A?

Everyone tried to pull the door, but couldn't open it no matter what. Just as 1806 had said, if they didn't act according to the plotline, they couldn't start the next segment of the plotline and would be trapped here.

Wang Dazhu realized this point and sent a message to the group.

Not long after.

1806's door opened, and out walked a very shrewd-looking youth.

The youth was smiling, revealing a gold-inlaid front tooth, giving off a mercenary feeling.

Bang, closing the door, Big Gold Tooth tried to pull the door open again. This time the door could be opened.

Everyone noticed that whether Big Gold Tooth was closing or pulling the door open, he always pulled out a piece of toilet paper from his pocket to wrap around the door handle.

Big Gold Tooth shrugged at everyone: "How nice, no key is needed."

Once these words came out, everyone finally realized that there was indeed no such thing as using a key to open the door.

'It seems that whether it's the killers or the civilians, their IQs are frighteningly high.'

The reason was very simple: the six civilians had to disguise themselves as Killer B in order to survive.

After all, Killer A didn't dare to randomly kill people before confirming who Killer B was.

Since Killer A couldn't be certain, if the six civilians all disguised themselves as Killer B, then Killer A would be Afraid to Throw a Stone at a Rat for Fear of Breaking the Vase, not daring to actively execute Killer A's killing mechanism.

Realizing this point, Wang Dazhu hurriedly said: "I am possibly a security guard."

"The injuries on my body were not caused by myself after I woke up."

"Therefore, I deduce that the murder in the plotline most likely happened in the room opposite my door, or in the room next door."

The others noticed that when the security guard spoke, he used 【possibly】 to evade a lie regarding the profession of 【security guard】, and used 【most likely】 to evade a lie regarding the crime scene.

But regarding the 【injuries】, he spoke using affirmative language.

From the 【security guard】's words, two useful pieces of information could be derived:

One: He is evading lies.

Which meant that on his phone, there were also messages similar to 【Lying is prohibited】.

Two: His injuries conform to the plotline.

Which proved that the 【security guard】 was related to the plotline.

The key was the second piece of information.

The 【security guard】 was related to the plotline. For the civilians, they felt the 【security guard】 might be one of the killers.

For Killer A, the 【security guard】 might be Killer B.

"Do you have an illness?" The person inquiring was the Elite Male dressed in a suit and leather shoes.

"I should have an illness. After all, my memory reminds me that I'm very old, and older people more or less have some illness." Wang Dazhu's answer was ambiguous.

Now everyone was somewhat uncertain whether this 【security guard】 in front of them was a killer or not.

At this moment, the beautiful woman suddenly asked: "I have a question. Who is the announcement most disadvantageous to?"

Li Jianguo noticed that after the beautiful woman said these words, the other seven all looked at her with faces full of shock, inwardly thinking this is bad!

'The messages in these people's phones might be different from mine.'

He also looked at her with a face full of shock, and then hurriedly observed the expressions of the others.

The others also realized something, suddenly turning their heads and examining the expressions of the people present.

The nine of them were all examining each other, finding no clues, and each frowned as they withdrew their gazes.

They clearly knew that one of them was pretending, but the beautiful woman's words had already revealed a flaw. Yet it seemed...

It could still be salvaged!

As expected, the Short and Fat youth, surveying everyone, considered that he couldn't lie, organized his wording in his heart, and inquired:

"How about... we all state what the messages we received are?"

Having spoken, he looked left and right, seeking everyone's opinion.

None had objections.

Seeing this, Li Jianguo kept a calm face, silently lighting a cigarette, as if offering a silent farewell.

Thus, everyone stated the messages on their phones one by one. Strangely enough, the contents of the messages on the phones of the first eight people...

Were all roughly the same!

The first three rules reminded them that they couldn't lie, and how to evade lies. The fourth rule was to not let them reveal their identity and past. And the last rule was...

Target the person at the most disadvantage in the rules.

It was 1801's turn.

The eight people looked suspiciously at Li Jianguo.

The answer seemed to already be very clear.

Seeing this, Li Jianguo shrugged: "There are no messages in my phone."

He seemed to be making a dying struggle.

The eight people suddenly widened their eyes.

'Killer A is at the most disadvantage in the announcement, and on his phone, there's no message to target the person at the most disadvantage. This means all eight people are targeting him, so he is Killer A.'

"You are Killer A!" Big Gold Tooth didn't hesitate to say the Confirmation Password from the announcement.

Suddenly, the eight people with varying expressions seemed as if possessed by ghosts. Guns of varying colors appeared out of thin air in their hands, uniformly pointing at Big Gold Tooth who had just spoken.

Speaking numbly...

"You lied."

"You lied."

"You lied."

Eight gunshots rang out. Big Gold Tooth was instantly beaten into a sieve, falling to the ground dead.

The next moment, the guns in the hands of the eight people vanished into thin air. Their consciousness seemed to return, and they all looked at the corpse on the ground with faces full of terror.

Just now, they seemed to have been manipulated by someone, but their consciousness was still there; they just couldn't control their own bodies.

In other words, they clearly knew that they were the ones who fired the shots killing Big Gold Tooth.

'Just now, we all said 【You lied】. Is this the...'

'Cost of lying?'

The eight people only felt their scalps tingling. But strangely, the moment they gave rise to the thought of wanting to calm themselves down, that tingling sense of fear immediately disappeared, replaced by absolute rationality.

'1806's Big Gold Tooth just now only confirmed that 1801 is Killer A, and he was immediately shot to death for violating 【Lying is prohibited】.'

'In other words, the occupant of 1801 is absolutely not Killer A at all!'

'More crucially, one person has died, next Killer A is going to be invincible!'

They really wanted to get angry, however, the moment this thought arose, that state of absolute rationality vanished, and each cursed inwardly.

'Fck fck fck fck!'

'Motherf*cker!'

'F*ck, we're done for!'

'Are you kidding me!!'

At this moment, even Li Jianguo, who had just deduced that he himself was Killer A, was completely numb.

'Big Gold Tooth confirming that I am Killer A violated 【Lying is prohibited】, which means I am not Killer A at all...'

'So, who am I?'

'Killer B?'

The sudden change directly overturned all the previous deductions of everyone.

Right now, their brains...

Were left with nothing but chaos.

They Looked At Each Other In Dismay.

Big Gold Tooth clearly looked like a very smart person just now. How come the first person to die was exactly this smart person?

'Could it be that, just as the proverb goes, Barking Dogs Seldom Bite, the truly smart people are us, the ones who weren't in a hurry to Confirm?'

'Also, 1801 just said that his phone had no messages. Doesn't that mean he doesn't even know that 【Lying is prohibited】?'

'It obviously doesn't make sense, but he didn't die for violating 【Lying is prohibited】. The only explanation is that he deleted the messages, which is why he didn't violate the rule against lying.'

'Is there a possibility that 1801 deliberately said that to make 1806 Confirm him?'

'Since 1801 is not Killer A, then who is the real Killer A?'

All eight people were completely disheveled.

They originally thought that by comparing the messages they could easily clear the stage, but unexpectedly, it instead plunged everyone into a massive unknown.
