Chapter 209: Dead Su Wu and missing Li Yi
Dead Su Wu and missing Li Yi
Su Wu died, died at the feet of Knight Captain Apol, died near the "Fate End Point" he found for Gao San.
There was an obvious gun hole on his back, the flesh and skin rolled, blood splattered, and the purification card given by the magician was still stuck three inches below the gun hole.
But because the beneficiary host of the buff died, the card face of that poker card disappeared, and the light naturally extinguished long ago.
But Cheng Shi knew that the person was not killed by the knight captain, but by a teammate.
Yes, it was the player who did it.
The reason why he was so sure was because he also suffered an attack, but this attack was very strange, because he felt that the person who attacked him had average skills; this average did not refer to the warrior of today who was full of divine power, but was very average compared to his original self.
The moment the fog exploded, a figure rushed over from the direction of Ji Er's cage and stabbed straight at his neck.
Although Cheng Shi couldn't see who the other party was under the dual influence of the fog and the prisoner helmet, he could hear the direction the cavalry lance swept, so he easily dodged it.
And turned around and slashed a knife on the other party's shoulder; the other party groaned after being hit and turned and left.
He could hear that this groan was clearly Ji Er's voice.
But this was even weirder.
A clown suspected of disguising as a Battle Overseer, relying on such skills, launched a sneak attack on a warrior who was almost identified by everyone as an acrobat the moment the fog exploded; how did he dare?
Or rather, since he chose to sneak attack, why didn't he cover it up at all?
He was sure he would succeed in one blow? Just relying on that half-hanging move?
No, Cheng Shi didn't believe it; he felt that someone was impersonating Ji Er, splashing dirty water on Ji Er.
But he didn't guess who this person was.
He didn't rush to chase, but listened to the sound of the guards rushing over, secretly changed his position, and stuck the purification card in his hand on the prisoner in the white prison uniform behind him.
Sure enough, when this purification card emitted light, three or four heavy footsteps grabbed and rushed towards that side.
Cheng Shi hid on the side and listened to the guards using cavalry lances to frame this poor prison mate, sneering in his heart.
Fortunately, he left a hand, otherwise he would have been pitted miserably.
He never thought about using this poker card from beginning to end, or rather, he never thought about executing this plan pieced together by his teammates from beginning to end!
Because he felt that these teammates were all untrustworthy!
This has nothing to do with prophecy, just a sixth sense cultivated and accumulated by a clown who is good at deception.
Not only that, Cheng Shi also had his own plan.
He was indeed cooperating with his teammates, and he did intend to make a slight move to give his teammates convenience when the plan was implemented, but his goal was not to replace himself with those prisoners wearing other colors of prison uniforms, but...
Sit still and enjoy the fruits!
Not bad, he didn't intend to move at all.
Because according to the plan, when the teammates replaced themselves, even if he didn't move, he could achieve the same final goal as them, that is, facing five "fakes" with no combat power!
And such risk is lower; Ji Er is right about one thing: players cannot guarantee whether the Grand Court of Judgment has means to identify identities; if you replace someone else's identity like this, it is naturally happy if you are not discovered, but once exposed, what awaits you is hard to say.
Players' understanding of the deathmatch penalty is limited to the information from the mouths of surrounding prison mates; Cheng Shi didn't dare to take risks before seeing the whole picture, nor did he want to take risks.
So "superficially agreeing, but actually refusing" is the best way to cooperate.
But what he didn't expect was that when the fog dissipated, no one moved!
The players on the scene hid in the mess one by one, looking at the surroundings with solemn expressions, and not long after, they discovered that the teammates in this round didn't make a move.
But not everyone, at least Su Wu died......
At least, Li Yi is gone.
There is not even a "replacer" in his cage, and he just disappeared.
His six magic purification cards have three floating on the ground, one stuck on the dead Su Wu, and another was stuck by Cheng Shi on the prison mate behind him, and this prison mate has already been stepped on by the Punishment Knights, and the last one was not found.
It seems that the magician's gift will make people unfortunate, and his teammates also discovered this matter quite intelligently.
Cheng Shi frowned and sneered.
Sure enough, there is no fool in this round; probably the moment the plan took shape, everyone thought of the same thing.
Everyone was actively agreeing, but everyone wanted to be the most cautious one.
But why did Li Yi move? Where did he go? Didn't he think of that layer?
No, a magician wouldn't fail to think of such a simple strategy, so he must have another plan.
What about Su Wu? Who pitted him to death?
His magic card was stuck on his lower back, clearly stuck by someone; was it the killer who disguised as Ji Er, or the fighting expert that Su Wu provoked?
Cheng Shi took advantage of the fact that the knights had not yet controlled the situation, mixed in the pile of wailing prisoners on the ground and looked around, trying to find Li Yi's trace, but he failed; the number of people on the scene was exactly the same as before the fog exploded, only Li Yi was missing.
Not only Cheng Shi, but other teammates who didn't move were also looking for Li Yi's trace; Zhao Si and Gao San even aimed their sights at those Punishment Knights who suffered minor injuries, wondering if this daring magician found a way to get rid of the prisoner helmet and mixed into the law enforcers' team.
But as the guards stood up one after another, they found they were wrong.
Li Yi disappeared, just disappeared out of thin air.
The high-level knights on the periphery saw the scene in a mess, endured their anger and walked in, waved their hands to let the knights behind them drag all the prisoners up and watch them under the guards' feet.
He paced to Ji Er, who caused all this chaos, examined the surroundings sharply, looked at this "shivering" initiator indifferently, and snorted heavily.
"You should be glad that you are a deathmatch prisoner; in the laws of Gaoshan County, deathmatch prisoners are not subject to lynching, otherwise, according to my 'Order', you would be dead now."
Ji Er was uncharacteristically not talking back; he shook his head in horror, trembling and muttering: "It wasn't me, I don't know, I don't know anything, don't kill me, it wasn't me!"
Seeing this, Cheng Shi frowned.
What happened to him, his temperament changed so much.
Then his gaze looked at Gao San and Zhao Si again.
Looking at it this way, it is very likely that one of these two took the opportunity to stab people in the fog just now, especially Gao San; using clumsy means to cover up the fact that he is a warrior is indeed a very good disguise.
And he also has "enough" reasons to kill Su Wu.
But this is just a guess; Cheng Shi has no evidence.
Like Cheng Shi, Gao San and Zhao Si were also stabbed in the fog just now; the figure and voice of the perpetrator were very similar to Ji Er, but they all felt it wouldn't be Ji Er, so their suspicious eyes first looked at each other, and then looked at Cheng Shi.
Everyone was guessing who the perpetrator was, and thinking about who made the move to hurt all the guards and buried such a big mine for this trial.
Because all three of them could confirm that they hadn't made a move!
And that Li Yi who ran away would never make such a big noise to attract attention before disappearing.
The scene gradually moved towards collapse in mutual suspicion and doubt; the ending that everyone least expected seemed to be walking over.
That is, the Deathmatch Final Decision... was advanced.
The high-level knight turned to look at Su Wu's corpse on the ground and asked in a deep voice:
"What happened, what did you see?"
Knight Captain Apol frowned slightly and said what he saw and heard:
"I saw bright lights rising in the fog, knowing that someone wanted to take advantage of this chaos to escape, so I rushed to the light closest to me, but found that the light came from... a mouse."
Mouse?
Everyone followed Apol's lance tip and saw that in the ruins of the cage, on the floor beside Su Wu, there was actually a dead mouse, and the last magic poker card was stuck on its back.
"I suddenly realized that this light might be to distract our attention, so I rushed towards the darkest fog again; on the way forward, I encountered a... assassin with agile skills!
Not only agile, but also high-level killing moves; I didn't see any of his offensives, but was stabbed three times during the fight."
Saying that, Apol tore open his armor, revealing three bloody gun holes on his belly.
"But, I also stabbed him!"
The high-level captain frowned and said in disbelief: "Cavalry lance wound? Punishment Knight? One of our own?"
As soon as the words fell, the situation on the scene suddenly became tense; all the Punishment Knights present tightened the long spears in their hands, looking at their teammates beside them cautiously, especially looking at the wounds on their bodies.
But there were too many injured knights; almost everyone was injured in the fog just now.
"I'm not sure, because I didn't hear the sound of armor friction, and my lance didn't hit the armor." Apol's expression was unusually solemn; he looked at the high-level knight seriously, "You must know that there is still a noble viewing ceremony tonight; I'm afraid this is a premeditated assassination!
So my suggestion is, no one on the scene is allowed to leave, cancel tonight's noble viewing ceremony, accelerate the Deathmatch Final Decision, and when the punishment ends, we will properly clean up those... scum hidden in the team!
By the way, find the missing prisoner."
The high-level knight pondered for a moment and accepted Apol's suggestion.
"Everyone, disperse the formation; from now on, I will notify the Iron Law Knights to take over the peripheral defense; before the deathmatch performance ends, no knight is allowed to leave!
Also, if anyone accidentally killed this deathmatch prisoner, surrender now, I can still plead for you in the Court of Judgment; if no one responds...
When I catch you, don't blame 【Order】 for being ruthless." ===== CHAPTER 210 =====
