Chapter 248 New Rules
The tense man and the odd-job man were stunned at first, then they recalled what had happened.

Slowly, his expression became interesting.

"That's true. At that time, the administrator asked you to draw a scene card, and also said that this was a chaotic killing theme that few people could draw. The name of the game was "Roll Call". But later it seemed that the content of the game process did not match the theme of "Roll Call", so I ignored it. Could it be that..."

"Now we have truly entered the theme of this game. The roll call is likely to be 'random'. The administrator has already given us various hints about the 'random' attribute. For example, when selecting the game scene theme, cards are randomly drawn. When we choose our profession, we also randomly draw cards. There are many uses of random attributes in this scene. Moreover, if the administrator can execute us directly, it can only be through random drawing. Otherwise, it will not be the turn of this high school girl Wang Xinyue to die first, right?"

Several people came to their senses immediately.

Yes, Wang Xinyue was actually a very average "killer" before, and her abilities in all aspects were not the strongest among the others.

If we follow the principle that there is a natural opposition between the administrators of the level scenes and the people who regain memories participating in the game during the days of confinement, then if the administrators really want to take action, they should choose those who are relatively strong in all aspects.

But if that were the case, it would completely violate the design rules of the level scene.

So if you think carefully about the analysis just made by the "robber", you will find that this conclusion, which sounds outrageous and incredible at first glance, is actually the speculation that is closest to the truth.

"Interfering with our advancement of the main plot of the scene and misleading our thinking are also the administrator's job. If we put all our energy and time into a meaningless matter of 'guessing who the reporter is', we will ignore the real problem. At least, there will be no time to advance the plot. It's like a bus arriving at the station. If you don't catch this one, you may not have the chance to get on the bus again. But according to the scene rules, the administrator did leave us enough time to get on the bus, so it can't be said that he broke the rules."

After Luo Xi finished speaking, he walked into the 'crime scene'.

The friendly man followed in, and when the hook-nosed man was about to go in, the dull man next to him grabbed him and made a gesture.

Apparently asking Hooknose what he thought.

"I agree with the robber's judgment. Even if someone secretly reported it, this kind of thing can only be prevented. Without solid evidence, the result is mutual suspicion and distrust. This situation is of no benefit to us and can only be a burden. This is indeed more like a 'thinking trap'. It is easy to waste all thinking ability and time in it. After careful analysis, I came to the same conclusion as the 'robber'. If you are worried, then strengthen mutual supervision."

"Oh, right!" The hook-nosed man thought of something else and added, "There's one thing the robber didn't say, but he must know it, so I'll say it for him. If the administrator really came up with a random roll call mechanism, whether it's using a broken box with slips of paper with our real names on them to draw lots, then Wang Xinyue was the first one to be drawn because of bad luck, but she definitely won't be the last one. This is why the 'robber' didn't bother to explain, because we must hurry up and advance the main storyline, otherwise all of us will be executed by the administrator through the roll call!"

This is stated very clearly and straightforwardly.

Even the odd-job man and the tight guy understood at this point.

In an instant, a chill came like a basin of cold water, pouring from head to toe.

"Fuck, that's really possible. Fuck, then, doesn't that mean that the centaur will come again and execute one of us?"

"That should be the case. Any one of us may die in the next round of roll call. Damn it, are you treating us like pigs to be slaughtered?" The tense man was now extremely tense, with fear and anger on his face.

This feeling is the most terrifying and the most annoying. You know that the administrator will come to kill people and will definitely come to kill people, and you may be the one who is named. Under this kind of psychological repression, who can think about the problem calmly?
The mature woman took a deep breath at this time and did not continue to join in this meaningless discussion. She also walked into the "crime scene".

Inside, 'Bandit', Affinity and Hooknose have begun investigating the scene.

There was actually a dead body on the floor in the house.

This setting is thoughtful.

They are all 'real guys'.

But in essence, this is still a framework of a "mystery story game".

The body was that of a female, wearing silk pajamas. Judging from the furniture and decoration, she lived a wealthy life. The three people who had come in earlier were all investigating the scene carefully. Some were observing the body, some were checking the bedroom and the traces on the floor, and some were standing in the kitchen.

There were originally nine people, one died, and there were eight left.

The strengths and weaknesses of these eight people are already very obvious.

Bandit, Affinity and Gutter Nose are definitely in the first tier.

He has a strong psychological quality, and his observation and analytical abilities far exceed those of others.

Especially 'The Bandit'.

The mature woman had actually been observing the other person. Before that, the administrator suddenly came to call out the "high school girl" for execution. When the gun went off, everyone was stunned. At that moment, the surprise and fear in their eyes could not be hidden.

But there was no emotion in the 'robber's' eyes.

There was no surprise or fear on the surface, and even a tragic and bloody moment of death could not cause any ripples in this person's heart.

It's like the death of an ant, not worth mentioning.

"I'm playing a madman, and he may really be a madman!" The mature woman defined the 'robber'. "From the degree of rigor mortis, the time of death was six hours ago. According to the time on the clock in the scene, it was between eight and nine in the evening. The cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation. There are some scars on the body, but they are not fatal. In addition, there is a ring mark on the ring finger of the right hand, and there are also traces of skin damage, which should be caused by someone forcibly pulling off the ring. There is a smell of alcohol in the mouth and nose of the corpse, although it is very faint, but it may have been drunk before death!" Affinity said, he just squatted beside the corpse and checked for a long time.

"There were no signs of the doors and windows being pried open, so it was not a case of forced entry by outsiders. In addition, there were two sets of tea sets on the table in the living room, and there were torn tea bags in the garbage bag in the kitchen. If the deceased was the hostess here, she was most likely entertaining guests, or at least acquaintances. So the possibility of the crime being committed by an acquaintance is very high. In addition, I found an opened bottle of alcoholic beverage in the cupboard, which is consistent with the speculation that the deceased had been drinking before her death." The man with the hooked nose also explained his observations.

Luo Xi didn't say anything.

He agrees with the observations about affinity and hooked noses.

If you ask him to say it, it would be the same.

"The situation is quite obvious. The crime was committed by an acquaintance. The gold and silver jewelry found under the bed of another female resident next door should be because the female neighbor next door came to visit at night. During the process, she saw the money and had the idea of ​​killing and robbing. So she killed the hostess here and stole the gold and silver jewelry. The situation at the scene also fits this inference."

After saying this, Affinity glanced at Luo Xi.

He wanted to hear this person's opinion.

Although he was very confident in his observations and reasoning, he somehow felt that he could not get this person's "affirmation", and he felt a little uneasy.

Could it be the sequelae of the previous head injury?
The hook-nosed man said nothing.

Because his conclusion and affinity were the same, and the same thing was that he also looked at Luo Xi, wanting to hear the other party's conclusion.

But Luo Xi didn't mean to speak.

Neither agree nor disagree.

“If we find out who committed the murder and then inform the law enforcers of the result, will that mean we have cleared the level? We can also stop the administrator from continuing to name people for execution,” the mature woman said at this time.

Judging from the situation inside the set, it is indeed necessary to infer the details and suspects of the murder.

When the administrator announced the start of the second round of the game, the rules of the game were not explained, and naturally there was no mention of how to clear the level. From the current perspective, all you have to do is guess the plot based on the situation in the setting, and thus infer the goals that need to be achieved in this game.

Because only by achieving the goal can it be possible to interrupt the administrator's naming mechanism.

This is consistent with the administrator's previous description of the second round of the game, which is that 'regardless of whether you choose to participate or not, the plot will continue to move forward'. The murders in the scene and the administrator's naming and executions are all part of the 'continuous advancement of the plot'.

If you want to interrupt, you can only achieve the result required by the plot.

"We can give it a try, because the administrator is now acting as a 'law enforcer', and one of his known rules of conduct is to follow 'call out the name and execute'. However, catching the real murderer must also be the purpose of the law enforcer. So according to common sense, as long as we provide a conclusion to the homicide, the administrator should stop 'calling out the name and executing'. I think there is nothing wrong with this logic." Affinity also said so, and the hooked nose on the other side did not raise any objections.

Obviously I agree with this logic.

"Robber, what do you think?" Seeing that Luo Xi had not expressed his opinion, the mature woman couldn't help but ask directly.

Women have an innate advantage in this regard.

They don't need to worry about so-called "face" at all, and they won't have any concerns. They can ask whatever they want.

Luo Xi nodded.

Is this considered recognition?

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They were afraid of 'Luo Xi' because this guy never played by the rules and was violent and cold-blooded. However, it was undeniable that the 'robber' was very capable in all aspects.

This is already a consensus among everyone.

Simply put, it is a sense of "trust", a sense of dependence that "if he thinks it is so, then it must be right."

But the next moment, Luo Xi's words made everyone stunned.

"I agree with the inference that 'solving the case' and providing valuable clues can change the rules of 'law enforcement', but the premise is that the clues provided must be correct!"

Several people were stunned after hearing this.

It took a long time to react.

Affinity turned his head and looked over: "You mean to say that our previous reasoning is wrong? The murderer is not the female neighbor next door?"
