Returning from the abyss

Chapter 17 Suspicion Chain

Among the first 30 people, some of them knew each other, not complete strangers.

Couples, Yu Zhisong's group of five, and Zhang Fuyuan's group who are obviously familiar with each other. These people all showed a degree of mutual familiarity beyond the level of people they just met.

It's just that almost nonexistent now.

Apart from the lovers, there was already a distance between Yu Zhisong and the two band members. The three people on Zhang Fuyuan's side each pulled a chair and sat, keeping a distance of about two meters.

Not to mention others.

"Everyone, going on like this is not an option." Yu Zhisong broke the silence, "Why don't you tell me clearly who the person you suspect is in your heart, and act together with mutual trust?"

"How? I think you are suspicious!" The white-collar worker immediately stood up excitedly, "Not only you, but also those two people, didn't you guys go together yesterday? You are the most likely to be replaced!"

"I don't deny that we slept in the same room, but Huang Peng died in the corridor, and anyone can go there." Yu Zhisong immediately retorted.

"That sounds nice, so who do you suspect?" The white-collar curled his lips with disbelief on his face.

Yu Zhisong thought for a while, and then said, "Huang Peng—no, if it's easier for the stand-in ghost to deceive anyone, it's Wei Boyong."

"Hello! What do you mean?"

"I think if the stand-in tells you in private that you have found something to let you come out, you will definitely come out to meet people."

Wei Boyong immediately slapped the table: "Why did I talk to a guy I didn't know before? That kid belongs to you, and he died and dumped to me?"

"Oh? For example... He said he found a secret way out of here, so you really won't go?"

"So I haven't heard of such a thing!" Wei Boyong roared, pointing at Zhang Fuyuan and said, "Isn't this guy even more strange? After so many people died, their group of three didn't have any problems at all? Do you believe it?" ? If I were that ghost, I would hide among them and see you talking nonsense here!"

"Hey, brother Wei's words are wrong." Zhang Fuyuan quickly raised his hand, "It's our luck that we can survive until now, but we don't have any special things in our hands, and we have been managing the thankless job of electricity. , Speak with conscience."

"Conscience? Does a ghost have a conscience? Why don't I believe you look like an outsider?" Wei Boyong bared his teeth, his eyes turned red.

"Calm down, brother Wei, everyone is just guessing, I'm not angry if you say that." Zhang Fuyuan raised his hand and pressed twice, then turned his head, "It's that little girl Lu Ning, not my old lady. Zhang has a problem with you, but you know too much, if I were a ghost, it would be better to kill you first."

Lu Ning just smiled when she heard that.

"I do know quite a bit, so why do you think a ghost can lure me out to meet it?"

"For example...how to open the door?"

Zhang Fuyuan's words changed Lu Ning's expression.

"You searched for a day yesterday. I think you were looking for a secret passage or something. Old Zhang, I saw you taking tools from the warehouse. Now that you found it, you didn't rush in. Does it mean that you can't open the door?"

"Ha...it may indeed lure me out...but the probability is very small." Lu Ning admitted, "It won't take a while to open the door, but I am very careful about my own safety."

"Really?" Zhang Fuyuan pressed harder and harder, "But judging from your behavior these days, I can't see how much you care about your own safety."

"It seems that Uncle Zhang has recognized me?" Lu Ning looked at Zhang Fuyuan with a half-smile.

"Young people, don't be so angry. I've said it all. I just raise doubts for everyone to discuss. Whoever is identified." Zhang Fuyuan smiled slightly, crossed his hands, and once again the old god lay on the chair on the ground.

The atmosphere returned to dullness.

"Lu Ning, who do you suspect?"

Yu Zhisong's question made Lu Ning feel very bad.

Why is she wasting time on such meaningless topics?

"Except Lingyan sister, I suspect everyone."

Lu Ning stood up, turned around and walked towards the warehouse.

"Everyone here makes me feel insecure. Sorry, I didn't open that door, so I'm going to keep trying. If you want to continue playing this man-wolf game, I will not accompany you."

"Why are you running! Are you guilty?"

Wei Boyong shouted immediately.

"The ghost won't be guilty, it will just watch the fun and find a way to kill you all!" Lu Ning left without looking back.

After she left, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, some people lay their heads on the table, some sighed and shook their heads, but the topic of who to suspect was over.

"When Yin Lian showed leadership, you suspected that she died."

Ling Yan said suddenly.

"When Lu Ning was actively exploring the secrets, you were suspicious, and she left."

"What do you want to say?" Wei Boyong asked dissatisfied.

"It's nothing, it's just that those possible opportunities slipped away from us again and again because of this kind of internal fighting?"

Ling Yan said and stood up.

"Ling Yan!" Hong Zehao said in a low voice.

"Uncle Hong, I'm sorry, I don't think there's anything wrong with Lu Ning, let alone die. I can't use my brains, so can't I protect the one among us who is willing to use his brains?"

Hong Zehao stared at Ling Yan seriously for a while, and finally heaved a sigh.

"You... know what you want to do, just do it."

However, there are still people who are not very knowledgeable.

"Leave things." Wei Boyong stood up.

Ling Yan paused.

"That wooden sword, I know that girl Lu Ning has a lot of good things on her body, so I don't want to think about it anymore, but we don't have any defensive items in our hands, at least you leave us something for counterattack."

Wei Boyong spoke convincingly, but everyone knew that it was Ling Yan who really wounded the ghost with the wooden sword, which made people jealous.

"What do you mean by the surname Wei?" Hong Zehao immediately stood up and stopped Wei Boyong.

Wei Boyong tilted his head: "Hong Zehao, don't pretend to be a saint. Your muscles are useless in front of ghosts. How dare you say that you have no idea about that sword?"

"Are you... looking for a fight?" Hong Zehao sullenly blocked Wei Boyong from chasing him.

At this moment, with a clang, Ling Yan threw the wooden sword with its sheath on the table, and said seriously: "He was right, Uncle Hong, Uncle Xing, it's up to you to protect everyone."

"You come back to me!"

Hong Zehao failed to stop Ling Yan this time.He lowered his head and picked up the wooden sword, showing a hesitant expression for the first time.

"The human heart cannot stand the test."

Lu Ning walked towards the stairs with a look of regret.

From the moment they entered the villa, the seeds of doubt had already taken root in everyone's heart, and today's mutual suspicion was just an outbreak.The killing ability of the stand-in ghost is not strong, but it was announced today because of its devastating blow to the team relationship.

"So, do you think what you said is true? Lu Ning?"

Ling Yan followed about two meters behind. Putting down the wooden sword also meant that she let go of her responsibilities. Now her tone became a little more relaxed, and there was a little nervousness in her usually calm expression.

"I don't think so...Sister Ling Yan." Lu Ning also knew that what she said to Ling Yan this morning was a bit alarmist, but she has become more and more confident in her judgment.

"Information, the ghost's killing method, the order of killing, the timing of killing... these series of things are not meaningless. Although I haven't been able to find all the main points, I am very sure about the speculation of tomorrow's information."

"why?"

"Shattered hope will make people more desperate... roughly. The design of this competitive game is so malicious that I have to use the worst case scenario. Fortunately, there is the collection of the blood of the bird, which must I will wake up Sister Yin Lian when the time comes."

"Understood, but... how do we get there?"

The two came to the second floor from another flight of stairs at the end of the corridor. Lu Ning took out two maps to compare the location, and then walked into a room.

"I got into a dead corner yesterday. There is indeed a gap between the door and the surrounding 'wall', but if the 'door' is actually a wall, it would be useless to find a switch there. If I guessed right, The passage below is actually sealed off by metal plates, and the real way... is to go down from above."

As she said that, Lu Ning had already found the position directly above the wall, and looked around, and immediately found that one of the dragon-shaped ornaments at the foot of the bed was much more worn than the other corner.

"This is it."

She grabbed the dragon-shaped ornament and tried it out, found the direction and began to twist. After a circle, a slight sound of mechanism rolling came to the ears of the two, and the wooden floor close to the wall began to sag downwards, slowly Slowly, a hole was revealed that could allow a person to walk down.

Lu Ning smiled. There are four more collections that have not yet appeared, and she already knows the effect of two of them. As long as she gets them all, she can at least guarantee a [-]% chance of survival.

"us……"

At this time, Ling Yan suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Lu Ning, and stretched out the hand holding the mobile phone to take a photo of the dark cave, only a steep staircase.

"I'll go ahead, you pay attention to safety."

Lu Ning was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

"Ah."

The smell of dust on the face indicates that no one has passed by here for an unknown period of time. The stairs have been going down, even exceeding the depth of the basement. However, after the narrow passage in the front, the passage at the back has gradually widened, and the slope is not so steep. up.Lu Ning and Ling Yan held hands, using their mobile phones to illuminate the front, back, left, and right, and walked cautiously.

In the darkness, there was a low cry suddenly.

Even if the two of them were bold, they were also frightened by this sudden voice at this moment!
