Chapter 47: Assassin lady's methods

Assassin lady's methods.

Going back allows for scouting the murderer.

Not going back can avoid another accident tonight.

In a trial lasting 7 days, losing a teammate before the first day is even over definitely counts as the worst opening.

Everyone's solemnity was written on their faces; only Yun Ni snorted lightly and turned to leave.

The direction she chose was "The Light of Life that Grows Wildly."

Watching Yun Ni leave cleanly, Cheng Shi was filled with emotion in his heart.

This is the 2400-point game; even with death right in front of them, there are still people who can face it calmly and head straight into it.

If it were 1400, this group of people would have to break up tonight.

Du Xiguang pushed up his glasses and suggested:

"Wei Guan's death... why not report it to the Law Enforcement Bureau?"

To tell the truth, it counts as a way.

Letting the Law Enforcement Bureau take action can avoid many risks.

But the problem is, they still can't confirm whether this killer holding a semi-artifact is the players' target or the players' signpost.

If it's a "signpost," that's fine; they just need to figure out who he is going to kill next and go find the real offering.

But if it's a "target," once he falls into the hands of the Law Enforcement Bureau, wanting to kill him would be equivalent to adding difficulty to themselves.

Besides, with Wei Guan in this "disemboweled" state, how should it be explained?

Fang Jue contemplated for a moment, shook his head, and rejected this proposal.

Now is not the right time to cooperate with the "official."

Cheng Shi had long expected this result; he looked at the wide-eyed Wei Guan and also turned to leave.

Yun Ni is right; getting close to the murderer is the only way to find the murderer.

No matter what, this inn must be returned to tonight.

This trial has changed from "clearing the fog" to "walking on the edge of a knife."

And this is exactly what 【Death】 is looking forward to.

He has never disliked more offerings.

"You guys go first; I'll deal with Wei Guan's corpse."

【Order】 followers are always reliable; Du Xiguang didn't hesitate and followed Cheng Shi's footsteps.

Fang Jue looked at the corpse with a deep expression and sighed lightly.

When he "hid" the corpse and looked up again, he discovered that the ascetic monk who had been silently listening all night had long since disappeared.

When Cheng Shi returned to the inn, Yun Ni was buying wine at the front desk.

He walked over, asked the waiter for a glass of strong liquor, and sat down beside her.

Yun Ni glanced at him and, rarely, didn't speak.

Cheng Shi raised the wine in his hand and said:

"No matter what, we are teammates after all. If you have any thoughts, you might as well share them with me first."

Yun Ni's tipsy eyelids lifted, signaling him to continue.

"I don't want to lose two teammates on the first day, nor do I want you to die inexplicably like that conceited 【Foolishness】 follower."

Cheng Shi's words were very straightforward; he was very afraid now that his teammates would confidently attack and end up lying dead on the spot.

It's not that he didn't trust Yun Ni's intelligence...

Forget it, he just didn't trust it.

And he could see that this assassin lady already had an idea; perhaps she would act tonight.

As for whether the action was beneficial to the trial, he had no way to judge without knowing the other party's thoughts.

Yun Ni smiled, ignored him, drank the wine in her glass in one gulp, and left alone again.

Cheng Shi watched her leave, then turned his gaze to the bar.

The empty wine glass that Yun Ni had slapped on the bar was still trembling; on the base of the glass, a barely visible crack was gradually spreading toward the 3 o'clock direction.

Heh, an interesting invitation.

The first floor of the inn closes at 2 o'clock; this is clearly wanting to do some "shady" business in the quiet night hours.

Cheng Shi chuckled, drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and also returned to his room.

The night was deep; no matter how many guests were in the inn, most chose to rest at this time, no longer as lively as when night first fell.

The innkeeper is clearly someone who knows how to manage; to let the travelers sleep more peacefully, at such a late hour, he actually arranged for several waiters to patrol the corridors on each floor from time to time.

Cheng Shi couldn't sleep at all lying on the bed in his room; he listened to the footsteps coming and going in the corridor, his heart constantly thinking about how to break the situation.

Just as he was furrowing his brows in thought, the familiar sound of breathing came from behind the wooden wall by the bed.

"Is it 3 o'clock?"

He raised his hand to check his watch, but the breathing sound next door disappeared.

Cheng Shi, as if receiving a signal, immediately rolled out of bed, pushed open the room door, and walked out.

Just after going out, he saw Du Xiguang and Fang Jue push open their doors at the same time and walk out.

The two's gazes swept over Cheng Shi in unison and looked at Yun Ni's room door.

Even more outrageous, at the end of the corridor, a strong man lying in the shadows also woke up at this time and stood up silently.

"?"

It seems everyone's thoughts are on the assassin lady's actions.

But I didn't sleep because Yun Ni gave an invitation; what do you big guys mean by not sleeping in the middle of the night and eavesdropping?

The timing was fleeting, leaving no time for Cheng Shi to think too much.

Several people tacitly skipped the awkward greeting part and followed Yun Ni's footsteps to the third floor.

Perhaps with Wei Guan's death as a warning, she didn't erase her own traces of action.

So four men followed behind her, erasing traces for her while guessing what this 【Annihilation】 assassin intended to do.

However, everyone didn't have much time to think; when they arrived at the door of the guest room in the corner of the third floor, the answer revealed itself.

A trace of 【Annihilation】 scent overflowed from the room.

Yun Ni had made a move!

Several people were shocked and dodged the waiter's patrol to quickly flash into the room.

As soon as they entered, they saw the room turned into a mess, and the guest who should have been in the room had long since disappeared.

Yun Ni also disappeared again.

"Madwoman!"

Fang Jue understood Yun Ni's idea at the first moment; he cursed bitterly and then flashed out the door.

Du Xiguang followed closely; clearly, he also saw Yun Ni's intention.

Cheng Shi looked at the empty room, his brows furrowed.

Undoubtedly, Yun Ni had "killed" someone.

The follower of 【Annihilation】 used the special means granted by Him to send the travelers in the room to "other planes."

And these planes are often doomsday lands about to disintegrate.

Taking living beings to a collapsing space is an offering to Him.

Furthermore, the disappearance of a living body from its original place is not necessarily not a kind of "death."

This poor traveler might still be alive, but what kind of pain they need to experience in the plane watched by 【Annihilation】, that is unknown to outsiders.

The idea is rough, but very effective.

The assassin lady's idea is nothing more than forcibly searching for evidence room by room without alerting other travelers.

Just like her personality, decisive and direct.

But there is still a problem in the middle, which is that once she comes face-to-face with the murderer, Yun Ni is very likely to become the next Wei Guan.

This simple and effective method is not that no one has thought of it, it's just that no one wants to be the second Wei Guan.

Unexpectedly, Yun Ni didn't mind at all and volunteered to become the sharp spear in the players' hands.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

Truly, high skill makes one bold.

This group of high-scoring people, how come they are all so confident?

Could it be that their scores were gained by relying on a good talent?

Regarding this, he was somewhat dismissive.

Brute force can't solve everything; the brain is the key to opening the key door.

However, things have already happened, and it's useless to dwell on them.

He sighed helplessly and began to check the messy room, hoping to find some useful information in the room.

One can also know that the assassin lady wouldn't search carefully.

This kind of dirty work still has to rely on everyone to do it together.

"Sigh, the people from the Grand Inquisition are on their way; making the inn a mess at this time, aren't you afraid of trapping yourself inside?" ===== CHAPTER 48 =====
