Going back, we can investigate the murderer.
Not going back, we can avoid another accident tonight.
In a Trial that lasts for 7 days, losing a teammate before the first day is even over is absolutely the worst start.
Everyone's solemnity was written on their faces, only Yun Ni lightly snorted and turned to leave.
The direction she chose was towards the "Rapidly Growing Light of life".
Looking at Yun Ni's decisive departure, Cheng Shi was filled with emotion.
This is a 2400 game. Even with Death right in front of them, there are still people who can face it calmly and charge straight ahead.
If this were a 1400 game, this group of people would have dispersed tonight.
Du Xiguang pushed his glasses and suggested:
"Wei Guan's Death... why not report it to the Executive Law Bureau?"
To be honest, it's a solution.
Letting the Executive Law Bureau handle it can avoid many risks.
But the problem is, they still can't confirm whether the Assassin holding a demigod artifact is the Players' target or the Players' waypoint.
If it's a "waypoint," it would be fine. They would just need to figure out who He is going to kill next and find the true sacrifice.
But if He is the "target," once He falls into the hands of the Executive Law Bureau, trying to kill Him again would be like adding difficulty to themselves.
Besides, with Wei Guan's current "eviscerated" state, how would they explain it?
Fang Jue thought for a moment and shook his head, rejecting the suggestion.
Now is not the right time to cooperate with the "official" side.
Cheng Shi had long expected this outcome. He looked at Wei Guan, who had died with his eyes wide open, and likewise turned to leave.
Yun Ni is right. Only by getting close to the murderer can you find the murderer.
No matter what, they absolutely have to return to the hotel tonight.
This Trial has changed from "Dispelling the Fog" to "Walking on the Edge of a Knife".
And this is exactly what Death expects.
He never dislikes more sacrifices.
"You go first, I'll deal with Wei Guan's body."
Followers of Order are always reliable. Du Xiguang didn't hesitate and followed Cheng Shi's footsteps.
Fang Jue looked at the body with a heavy expression and sighed softly.
When He had "hidden" the body and looked up again, He found that the Ascetic Monk, who had been quietly listening on the side all night, had long since disappeared.
When Cheng Shi returned to the hotel, Yun Ni was buying drinks 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, uncharacteristically not speaking.
Cheng Shi raised the drink in his hand and said:
"No matter what, we are teammates. If you have any ideas, you might as well discuss them with me first."
Yun Ni's slightly tipsy eyelids lifted slightly, indicating for 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 arrogant Follower of Foolishness."
Cheng Shi's words were very direct. He is now very afraid of teammates confidently attacking and ending up dead on the spot.
It's not that He doesn't trust Yun Ni's intelligence...
Forget it, He just doesn't trust it.
Moreover, He saw that this Assassin Miss already had an idea and might act tonight.
As for whether the action would be beneficial to the Trial, He couldn't judge without knowing the other party's thoughts.
Yun Ni smiled, ignored Him, drained the wine in her glass, and left alone again.
Cheng Shi watched her leave, then turned his gaze to the bar.
The empty wine glass that Yun Ni had placed on the bar was still trembling. On the base of the glass, a faint crack gradually spread towards the 3 o'clock direction.
Heh, an interesting invitation.
The first floor of the hotel closes at 2 o'clock. This is clearly meant for some "underhanded" activities in the quiet of the night.
Cheng Shi chuckled to himself, drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and likewise returned to his room.
The night was deep. No matter how many guests were in the hotel, most chose to rest at this time, and it was no longer as lively as when night first fell.
The Boss of the hotel is clearly a good businessman. To ensure travelers sleep more peacefully, even at such a late hour, He even arranged for a few waiters to patrol the corridors on each floor from time to time.
Cheng Shi lay on the bed in his room, completely unable to sleep. He listened to the footsteps coming and going in the corridor, his mind constantly thinking about how to break the situation.
Just as He was frowning in thought, a familiar breathing sound came from behind the wooden wall next to the bed.
"Is it 3 o'clock?"
He raised his hand to look at his watch, but the breathing sound from next door disappeared.
As if receiving a signal, Cheng Shi immediately flipped out of bed, opened the room door, and walked out.
As soon as He stepped out, He saw Du Xiguang and Fang Jue simultaneously open their doors and walk out.
Their gazes uniformly passed over Cheng Shi and looked towards Yun Ni's room door.
Even more unbelievable, at the end of the corridor, a burly man lying in the shadows also woke up at this moment and silently stood up.
"?"
It seems everyone's attention is on the Assassin Miss'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 opportunity was fleeting, leaving Cheng Shi no time to think too much.
The few of them tacitly skipped the awkward greeting process and followed Yun Ni's footsteps to the third floor.
Perhaps alerted by Wei Guan's Death, she did not erase her tracks.
So the four men trailed behind her, clearing her tracks while guessing what this Assassin of annihilation intended to do.
However, everyone didn't have to think for too long. When they arrived at the door of the room in the furthest corner of the third floor, the answer revealed itself.
A trace of annihilation's scent overflowed from the room.
Yun Ni had made her move!
The few of them were stunned and quickly darted into the room, avoiding the waiter's patrol.
Upon entering, they saw the room was a mess, and the occupant who should have been in the room had long since disappeared.
Yun Ni had also disappeared again.
"Lunatic!"
Fang Jue understood Yun Ni's idea immediately. He cursed angrily, then flashed out of the room.
Du Xiguang followed closely. It was clear that He also saw Yun Ni's intention.
Cheng Shi looked at the empty room, his brows tightly furrowed.
Without a doubt, Yun Ni had "killed" someone.
The Follower of annihilation used the special method bestowed by Him to send the traveler in the room to "other planes".
And these planes are often doomsday places on the verge of collapse.
Leading living beings to crumbling spaces is a Sacrifice to Him.
Furthermore, the disappearance of a living being from its original location can also be considered a form of "Death".
This poor traveler might still be alive, but what kind of suffering He will have to endure in the plane watched by annihilation is unknown to outsiders.
The idea is crude, but effective.
The Assassin Miss's idea was nothing more than to forcibly search room by room for evidence without disturbing other travelers.
Just like her personality, decisive and direct.
But there is still a problem in this process: once she confronts the murderer head-on, Yun Ni is very likely to become the next Wei Guan.
This simple and effective method wasn't something no one had thought of, it's just that no one wanted to be the second Wei Guan.
Unexpectedly, Yun Ni didn't mind at all and voluntarily became the sharp spear in the Players' hands.
Thinking of this, Cheng Shi couldn't help but sigh:
Truly skilled and bold.
These high-scoring people, why are they all so confident?
Did they get their scores by charging forward with good talent?
He was quite dismissive of this.
Brute force doesn't solve everything. The brain is the key to opening the crucial door.
However, what has happened has happened, and it's useless to dwell on it.
He sighed helplessly and began to inspect the messy room, hoping to find some useful information.
He knew without thinking that the Assassin Miss wouldn't search carefully.
This kind of dirty work has to be done together.
"Alas, the people from the Grand Tribunal are on their way. At this time, causing chaos in the hotel, aren't you afraid of trapping yourself inside?"
