Chapter 88 Mutual distrust
What Jiang Jiadong said makes sense. It's just a waste of time to argue now, but after that true talk, the players will no longer trust each other.

Even for her and Liu Ming, she would not tell Liu Ming her identity card.

This is true for people I know, let alone other people.

Of course Jing Zhao wants to win this game, but this time the deviation has not appeared until now. It seems that he can only take one step at a time.

It was early in the morning and they came over to make a noise before they had eaten. The servants waited for them to quiet down before coming over to inform everyone to go to the first floor for breakfast.

They didn't want to touch the food in the game world, but they still went down for a formality.

But what is surprising is that Charles did not appear at the dinner table.

"Where is your master?" A player asked the servant standing behind.

"The master only comes out at night. He has given instructions that you can investigate anywhere in the manor, but you are not allowed to go to the fifth floor. The fifth floor is where the master rests."

Hearing what the servant said, everyone had their own thoughts.

"It's possible that I'm going to kill you." Jiang Jiadong responded unceremoniously.

Jing Zhao opened the closet and saw complicated dresses for women. She went to Liu Ming's room and found men's attire in the closet.

He didn't argue with those people because he didn't think it was necessary.

Seeing that they didn't refuse, Fang Fangyuan smiled.

"Can I come with you? If you want to know my identity tag, I can tell you that I am a civilian."

The player who was singled out had an ugly face and asked the man with glasses in a bad tone: "Is there any way you can prove that we did it?"

Lin Ke, the man with glasses, shook his head: "There is nothing I can do. I only thought of the elimination method. It's a pity that I don't know who the detective is. It would be great if the detective could come out and check the identity for the last time. If there are only two people left after the elimination, the detective can do it again." Once the identity is verified, the other one will be eliminated, and the last one becomes more likely.”

They discussed it during a breakfast time.

Jing Zhao took out food from her backpack and ate some to fill her belly. There was a sumptuous breakfast on the table, and the steaming milk was on her right. She didn't even want to look at it.

Liu Ming said with unclear meaning: "You are cursing us."

Cai Yongqi somewhat disagreed, although that was what he thought at first. There were more than thirty players, each with their own ideas, and it was difficult to agree with everyone.

Chen Ying was a little uneasy sitting in her seat. She was afraid that others would discover her identity as a wizard.

Jing Zhao and Liu Ming looked at each other. They both always thought that Fang Yuan was strange.

The three of them walked around the second floor together. The door of each room can be opened. This is the room where the player lived last night.

A man with glasses spoke slowly: "Let's talk about Zhang Shiming first. Zhang Shiming, please correct those people you suspected before."

At the end of Cai Yongqi's words, seeing that those people were indifferent, he also said coldly: "Don't act like it has nothing to do with you. Be careful, the murderer will kill you next."

Zhang Shiming was obedient this time and named those people.

Just like Zhang Shiming, although Zhang Shiming didn't see the person clearly last night, he resisted, but he failed.

Fang Fangyuan's face froze slightly, that was not what he meant.

Jing Zhao is now curious about three people, the wizard, the detective, and who the second murderer is.

The number of times the wizard can be resurrected is now only two, the game lasts for five days, and the detective can verify the identity of one person per day.

"Thank you. My skills can heal wounds. If you are accidentally injured, you can come to me."

The room furnishings include a bed, two bedside tables, a wardrobe, a chair and a small table, and nothing else.

"Then you have to be able to rule it out, and how could the detective be so stupid as to come out and blow up his identity? If the detective comes out today, he will die in the evening."

There are several other players on the second floor, and Jiang Jiadong, whom Jing Zhao met before, is also here.

Jing Zhao glanced at him and said, "Then just follow."

The equation looks pitiful from a distance.

Jing Zhao and Liu Ming walked together for a few steps and felt that someone was following them secretly. Jing Zhao stopped and saw Fang Yuan hiding in the corner.

The servant said that as long as you don't go to the fifth floor, you can check out other places.

Lin Ke cleared his throat: "Since we can't discuss it, why don't we investigate this?"

Because of Jiang Jiadong's words, the dinner table suddenly became quiet.

Jing Zhao went to her room first. She was pressed for time last night and she didn't even have time to take a good look.

No one refused this proposal, and everyone separated in silence to go to the manor to investigate.

What Chen Ying said attracted a lot of people's attention. Indeed, it was a bit of a word game. When the murderer passed by, the players would definitely resist.

She didn't see the other murderer last night. She didn't know if the other murderer saw her. It was hard to be sure, but Jing Zhao felt that he probably didn't see her because of the forced sleep mechanism.

Cai Yongqi choked and then stopped talking.

"Well, can the murderer definitely kill civilians? It doesn't seem to say so in the rules of the game, it just says it can."

Jing Zhao saw them arguing with each other and calmly took a sip of water. There were many people watching the fun like her, and the main force was still the few quarreling.

As soon as the task was completed, she was forcibly sent back to the room.

She cleared her throat, trying to sound normal.

"The more you jump out, the murderer doesn't know who the wizard and the detective are. He will definitely kill the most active ones, and you are one of them."

They randomly selected the time, and the styles of clothes inside were correct.

Jing Zhao silently wrote it down first, and then went to other people's rooms.

Zhang Shiming stared at the people he suspected, trying to see if they would reveal their flaws.

At the same time, he was also worried that since he was resurrected today after he was supposed to die last night, that person wouldn't come to kill him again, right?

If it is really him again, then the scope of the murderer can basically be locked, and it must be those people who are unhappy with him.

Zhang Shiming snorted coldly. He had never been so unlucky before. It would be great if he drew the murderer's card himself, which was exactly what he wanted.

Unfortunately, I was unlucky and got a civilian card. Who would be the detective card?

Faces flashed through Zhang Shiming's mind. It would be great if he could join forces with the detective. The detective also felt confident.

Cai Yongqi was also searching on the second floor. He went straight to Jing Zhao's room and deliberately let her see it.

Jing Zhao didn't react at all. Among these players, she was the only one who provoked Cai Yongqi. However, during the quarrel just now, Cai Yongqi didn't let Cai Yongqi divert his anger.

Cai Yongqi went in and looked through it vigorously, even looking under the bed.

Jing Zhao listened to the crackling movement inside without making a sound, and turned his head to go somewhere else.

"He's too arrogant." Fang Fang glanced at Cai Yongqi from afar, as if he couldn't say anything unpleasant and could only use that description.

Jing Zhao hummed indifferently, and Fang Fangyuan also felt that Jing Zhao was perfunctory. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but after all, this was the teammate he chose, not to mention that Liu Ming was still the sixth player in the rankings, so he felt safe.

When the three of them appeared together, everyone knew they were teaming up.

Those people's eyes fell on Liu Ming's face. In fact, they also wanted to team up with Liu Ming, but they didn't have the courage. Liu Ming was too aloof and cold. In addition, they had just learned about Liu Ming's hobby, so it was a bit embarrassing no matter what.

Liu Ming went to other rooms despite their gazes. After talking about his hobby, he didn't want to team up with anyone. After getting out of the game alive this time, he no longer knew how to face other players.

He Yongan would probably laugh him to death, and no one would want He Yongan to know, because he would definitely come directly to the administration to laugh at him.

Liu Ming's face darkened. He wanted to kill this damn game even more seriously. It was a pity that this game couldn't find a way to get the deviation, so they could only go on step by step.

The rooms are pretty much the same, basically every room is the same, nothing special.

Jing Zhao went to the flower garden outside. The rose stand he passed last night was still there. The servants took watering cans and scissors and started to sprinkle water and prune the branches and leaves.

The rose did not have an ugly face like before, showing a row of fangs, but was as motionless as an ordinary rose.

While the servant was watering the water, Jing Zhao went over to take a look.

The servant saw her coming and was about to say something when he was stopped by Jing Zhao.

"You didn't say you can't come from the flower garden."

The body on the third floor disappeared after their quarrel, and they didn't know where it went.

Jing Zhao looked at the huge flower bed and poked the soft soil with a stick.

The servants who stood beside him dared not speak out in anger, and finally suppressed their words: "Dear guest, please be careful not to let the thorn prick your hand, otherwise the gain will outweigh the loss."

"Thank you for your concern." Jing Zhao gave a false smile.

Servant: Who cares about you anymore!

He wanted to persuade Jing Zhao to leave, but Jing Zhao ended up staying here.

"Your soil is quite loose."

Jing Zhao poked inside, and there was a click, and the stick broke.

The servant smiled and said: "The domestic flowers are too fierce, so distinguished guests should stay away."

When Liu Ming and Fang Fang came over, they saw Jing Zhao holding half a stick stuck in the soil.

The roses in the servant's hands didn't look like they were showing off their teeth and claws, they were just normal flowers.

This made Fang Fangyuan couldn't help but take a second look. They still remembered when Jing Zhao came in with roses, but now they are pretending to be pretty good.

"The servants don't want us near the flower beds."

Jing Zhao said this, which made the servant very angry. He refused to let him come near him, but Jing Zhao didn't listen either.

"The master likes roses very much, so we don't let others get close to them."

After hearing this explanation, Jing Zhao glanced towards the window on the fifth floor. The window was closed tightly, and he didn't know what the people inside were doing.

The mysterious owner of the manor who stayed day and night, Jing Zhao took the stick and left without looking back, and the servants breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where are you going?" Liu Ming asked.

Jing Zhao waved his hand: "Wander around as you like, you don't have to follow me."

She planned to go up to the fifth floor to have a look, and didn't want Liu Ming and Fang Fang to follow.

Liu Ming could probably guess what she was doing, so he didn't chase her.

Fang Yuan blinked blankly: "Are we really not going to follow?"

"Go to the kitchen."

Liu Ming turned around and walked to the kitchen. He knew that Jing Zhao couldn't trust Fang Yuan, but he was also curious about what Fang Yuan wanted to do and deliberately approached them. He didn't know who he was planning on.

It just depends on when Fang Yuan can't help but show his weakness.

Jing Zhao put on the invisibility cloak. She walked past the players majestically, and then walked step by step from the fourth floor to the fifth floor.

There were a few players whispering something on the fourth floor stairs. They were probably curious about the fifth floor, but they didn't come up.

Maybe someone came up wearing an invisibility cloak like her.

Jing Zhao stepped on the stairs to the fifth floor and instantly felt panicked. Was it a warning?

She didn't care at all and walked directly to the corridor.

The fifth floor is very quiet, and there are only three doors. There is a small window at the end of the corridor directly in front. Jing Zhao walked over and looked out of the small window, overlooking the entire flower garden.

Charles really likes roses. Not only he planted so many of them, the fifth floor is filled with the fragrance of roses.

Jing Zhao took a nasal plug and blocked his nose, not wanting to smell the smell anymore.

She opened the first door on the left, and the door handle opened with a slight twist. Jing Zhao walked in and closed the door gently.

Charles is not in this room. This seems to be a study room. There are a few books scattered on the floor in disorder, but the books on the bookshelf are neat, and there is an open book on the table.

Jing Zhao went over to see what was written in the book, but she made a mistake. It was not a book, but a notebook with a fancy cover.

The pen ink has dried, and there are four words written on the page.

You are the murderer.

Such a coincidence?
Jing Zhao picked it up and looked at it. The other pages were all blank. Only this page had this word. It was strange.

Did you show it to her on purpose?
Jing Zhao put down his notebook and looked at the rows of books on the bookshelf. They were basically literary works and information books on growing flowers.

When I opened the information book on flower cultivation, I saw that it was about roses.

Just looking at these on the bookshelf, one can only tell that this man likes roses, but not at all that he likes games.

Jing Zhao's eyes shifted to the books placed randomly on the floor. These books were a little thin. She picked up one at random, and it turned out to be a story about strange creatures.

Most of these stories are about immortality, and there are all kinds of weird and bizarre methods of immortality.

Jing Zhao picked up other basics, all of the same type.

Why does Charles have so many books on how to live forever? Could it be that he wants to live forever?

The books were less dusty than the bookshelves and were obviously ones that Charles looked through frequently, which seemed likely.

If you want eternal life, use them as materials for eternal life?
There was no movement outside. Jing Zhao looked through a few stories, but he was confused and couldn't connect with them.

She glanced at the catalog and took a look at the ones she thought were relevant. She didn't have time to look through the ones that didn't matter.

The main reason is that there is not much time left for them, and these books cannot be taken away. If they are taken away, Charles will definitely find them.

Jing Zhao regretted that the bookstore didn’t sell cameras.
