Chapter 105 The Day of Doomsday (Part 8)
Although Yu Guo hadn't finished her words, the others had already understood the meaning of her words -
She suspected that both were dead.
None of the players present were new players, so they were not too surprised by the death in the dungeon. Le Wenfei was a new player, so it was not surprising that something happened to him. However, Li Qiang was an old player who had experienced several dungeons, so what happened last night was not difficult for an old player...
Yu Guo then asked Song Yanchi and Qiao Yuan, who lived on the same floor as the two men, whether they noticed anything unusual when they left. After hearing Qiao Yuan say no, he immediately said that he would go and check the situation after dinner.
Everyone didn't eat much for breakfast, and with this matter on their minds, they ate much faster than before. After finishing their meal, the four of them immediately headed for the third floor.
The first room we arrived at was Li Qiang's room.
The door was ajar. As soon as Qiao Yuan approached, he smelled a faint smell of blood. It seemed that the ending had been revealed in advance, and it also made the people outside the door subconsciously tense.
At the moment when the door was about to be opened, even Yu Guo, who had a smile on her face just now, slightly restrained the smile on her face, and after opening the door, the expression on her face turned into surprise.
However, the expressions of the others were similar to Qiao Yuan's at this time.
The layout of the small room was pretty much the same, except that it looked a bit messy at this moment, with the chair overturned on the floor.
The first person that caught my eye was Le Wenfei sitting on the ground . He had his hands behind his back, and although he was facing the door, I didn't know if it was because the blood splashed on his black-framed glasses blocked his vision, or if he was just in a daze, he didn't react at all even when he saw someone approaching.
If it weren't for the eyeballs rolling from time to time behind the lenses, people would probably doubt his identity as a living person.
There was another person lying next to him. Although he was face down, he could still be recognized as Li Qiang based on his sturdy body.
Song Yanchi, like Yu Guo, had previously guessed that the two had died, but he did not expect that Le Wenfei, a novice, was alive, while Li Qiang was dead. Le Wenfei's presence here was understandable, after all, even though he had paid for the room under the coercion of Li Qiang, he obviously still wanted to seek protection from Li Qiang. If he was just a coincidence and found Li Qiang dead, he could be understandably dumbfounded, after all, his timid personality made his thin body understandable.
Yu Guo obviously thought so too. After being surprised, he quickly walked towards Le Wenfei and said with a smile: "Why are you still sitting there? It's just a dead person, a player killed by a ghost..."
Her words stopped abruptly after she saw Li Qiang's body.
Qiao Yuan knew that she had also noticed that Li Qiang in front of her did not seem to have been killed by a ghost, but rather by a human.
In this world, a shadow option should be added.
There were several holes on the back of the opponent's head, as if it had been hit repeatedly by something heavy.
Even an inexperienced person could see that this was a fatal wound, and it did not look like the work of a ghost or an infected person.
The most important thing was that the other person's body had no signs of decay, and it looked like he had not been dead for long. It was just that one of his arms was pressed under his body, and no one knew what it was doing.
There might not be police in this dungeon world, so there was no need to protect the scene. In order to observe more carefully, Qiao Yuan stepped forward and wanted to turn Li Qiang's body over. Song Yanchi followed closely and helped her turn it over.
When they saw the front of Li Qiang's body, the people present were shocked again.
When Li Qiang fell to the ground, his face must have hit the ground straight on. His relatively tall nose had collapsed due to the break. The blood from his nose covered half of his face, and several of his teeth were broken. It was obvious that he was caught off guard when he was attacked from behind.
But there were still several bloody holes on his chest, and his clothes were stained with blood. The fatal wound was the fruit knife that was inserted into his chest. Only a piece of the handle and a short blade were left outside, and his hand was still holding the handle.
Even the usually silent Yan Yi couldn't help but speak out: "I stab myself?"
Sheng Guiye looked at the corpse and said thoughtfully: "This is the posture of pulling out a dagger."
Yu Guo also nodded, her two ponytails swaying along with her movements: "Yes, it looks like she was attacked from behind when she pulled out the dagger... Of course, this is just my guess, I don't know if it's correct..."
Qiao Yuan's mind moved, and Yu Guo's guess was exactly the same as hers. If she had only suspected that it was a person or a shadow who killed him before, then the appearance of the dagger further verified her guess, after all, ghosts did not need tools to kill people.
However, before she could make a choice, the real murderer surfaced.
Le Wenfei, who had been sitting there in a daze, came to his senses and saw Li Qiang's embarrassed face. He screamed and buried his head in his knees, as if he didn't want to see anymore. Only a faint voice could be heard, which sounded like crying: "I... I didn't kill him on purpose..."
As soon as Le Wenfei said this, Yan Yi's face changed and he looked over warily: "He was replaced by a shadow? No, how do you know how to distinguish between a shadow and a real person?"
"Or... are you the one who was replaced by the shadow?"
Except for some novice players, most players will remember the tasks and reminders very clearly. They will even reread and think about them repeatedly because of the precedent of dungeon tasks setting traps for players to play word games.
Not to mention the specialness of this copy——
It loosens half of the restrictions, allowing players to kill other players.
But the prerequisite is to make sure it is replaced by the shadow, otherwise it will also be illegal to erase it.
Because of this restriction, Qiao Yuan had previously observed in the restaurant, and several other players were apparently also observing quietly, otherwise it would have been a battle royale scene as soon as the players met.
According to the system, the shadow replaced by the player does not have this restriction and can kill the player at will.
However, any smart shadow would not take direct action if the players were in the majority.
Let’s not consider why Le Wenfei suddenly had the courage to kill someone. The other party was able to kill Li Qiang and still stand here. There were only two possibilities mentioned by Yan Yi.
First, Le Wenfei was replaced by Shadow, so he was not restricted by the restriction that players could not kill each other, and killed Li Qiang
Second, Li Qiang was replaced by a shadow, so Le Wenfei killing him was not against the rules, but this also involves how the other party distinguished between the real person and the shadow. Could it be that he was lucky and happened to kill the right person?
Looking at these two fatal wounds, Qiao Yuan had actually guessed something, but still wanted to wait for Le Wenfei's answer.
The others obviously thought the same, so they did not attack Le Wenfei directly, but started .
At first, Le Wenfei just cried, but it seemed that he had not lost his basic fear ability. After being frightened by Song Yanchi, he immediately spoke out: "It was... it was Li Qiang's shadow who took the initiative to find me..."
