Life Dungeon Game

"Then, at the end of the seventh hour, you heard faint footsteps coming from inside the door, just those few."

Jin Ya slowly repeated herself in both languages, the previous one being Jie Qiong, then she paused briefly before speaking rapidly.

"While passing through the tunnel, you discovered your mission and tools, and you're a good person too."

"You were sitting on the floor by the bed, sound asleep. Did you hear anything? You only woke up when there was still less than an hour left on the countdown."

You look up at Jin Ya, "So the tunnel we just slept through lasted 'seven hours'? You thought you only slept for one or two hours..."

"When the first seven hours were reset to zero, it was reset again, for a total of four hours."

That time, Ruoti interrupted again.

However, He Ao's gaze remained fixed on Jin Ya's lower body, and he did not respond to Ruo Ti's words.

"A total of four hours."

Jin Ya nodded emphatically.

"Thank you."

He Ao nodded hurriedly

However, He Ao deliberately paid attention to Ruoti.

For Jie Qiong, if you are in a conversation, your attention will be more focused and your reaction will be slower. If no one interrupts, you will be stuck and it will take you a while to react.

Like an old-fashioned CPU, it can only process other threads after it has finished processing the work of one thread.

Jin Ya also believed that He Ao was similar to her current body, a kind of 'puppet', but He Ao did not show any of the mechanical, lifeless feeling of a puppet.

That feeling might be hard for others to notice, but anyone who has ever controlled a puppet can immediately sense it.

Moreover, for the puppet, He's delay was indeed too low.

Jin Ya felt that He Ao was someone who was immersed in his own world and had no 'self-isolation' at all. You are not stupid, you just care about the information input from the inner world.

Seeing that He Ao was completely ignoring me, Ruo Ti seemed to feel a sense of frustration. I took a breath and said in Middle-earth,

"During the first seven weeks...did you feel anything was normal? Around the end of the seventh week, you vaguely heard footsteps at the door, but they slowly disappeared. You are a good person."

There should be one more chapter.

Chapter 406 The Passenger's 'Power' (Seeking Subscriptions, Favorites, and Monthly Subscriptions)

"First of all, I'm a good person, and then I'll talk about my findings."

"I didn't sleep at all while passing through the tunnel. I didn't hear any footsteps, but in the third hour after entering the tunnel, I sensed some kind of movement. It was very slight, but my hearing is very good, so I caught it. It was like some extremely faint sound."

Next was Luo Luo, number six, in the last cubicle, the one next to the already deceased man. She continued slowly...

"I think that sound was most likely the sound of the victim falling to the ground after death. The murderer must have moved very lightly when he did it, and there was almost no sound."

"But strangely, the deceased did not make a sound. Judging from the wound, it was stabbed in the back. No matter what, it is impossible to kill instantly and prevent the deceased from making a sound."

At this point, Luo Luo sighed, "It's a pity the body is gone, so we can't do any testing."

"It's possible that the murderer used overwhelming strength to kill the victim first, and acted very quickly, without giving the victim time to speak. The sound of the victim falling to the ground with a thud is unlikely to be as soft as you described. It was probably the sound of the murderer slowly laying the body down."

He Ao casually chimed in.

"Is it possible that the knife stabbing into the back was deliberately staged? Why would the murderer stage that?"

Luo Luo nodded, then her little head suddenly sprang up like a spring, her adorable eyes wide as she looked at He Ao, "How are you so skilled?"

"···"

He paused for a moment, "I have a wide range of interests and know a lot of different things."

"Oh."

Luo Luo thought for a moment and nodded with some skepticism.

The last one was Lin Chichi. Lin Chichi pondered and said, "I fell asleep when I was going through the tunnel, and I only woke up when it was almost over. I didn't hear anything... I am a good person."

At this point, everyone has finished speaking.

Jin Ya suddenly turned her head and said to Ruo Ti in Tia, "Thank you."

If asked: ? ? ?

He Ao and the others roughly translated what they had just said to Jin Ya, and then let everyone speak freely.

“Actually, there’s a problem,” Jin Ya spoke first this time, looking at He Ao.

“None of us are allowed to open the door, which means that if the murderer wanted to kill someone, he should have opened the door from the outside and entered. But the passenger in compartment number five died in the corridor. If he was dragged out by the murderer, why would the murderer drag him out?”

He Ao translated Jin Ya's words to the others.

“Indeed,” Luo Luo nodded in agreement, “There are too many suspicious points about this deceased person.”

Lin Chichi didn't dare to speak. She had never experienced such a scene before, and her mind went blank.

"Perhaps the murderer and the victim had a grudge against each other. The murderer beat the victim in the cubicle, but didn't feel satisfied, so he dragged the victim to the corridor and brutally murdered him."

Ruti leaned back in his chair and said with a smile in Middle-earth.

His words were pointed, and apart from Jin Ya, the other two people's expressions changed.

Of the five people present, He Ao was the one who had clearly argued with the deceased.

He Ao narrowed his eyes.

It seems that Ruoti wasn't always staying indoors.

He must have secretly opened the door and witnessed Heo disposing of the dead body.

"And what's the point of us discussing this here?"

Ruo Ti patted his butt and stood up, saying, "Even if we find the murderer, can we bring him to justice while he's in this car? We might as well think about what to say to the murderer when we face him. Maybe if he's in a good mood, he'll let us go."

He even repeated those words in Tia.

Everyone's expression darkened.

"We are not without the ability to retaliate."

He Ao said slowly, and he also got up and walked towards the compartment.

The group exchanged puzzled glances and followed him over.

He Ao finally stopped in front of the seventh compartment. At that moment, a flight attendant came over and asked, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Can you open this door?"

He Ao stretched out his hand and pointed to the seventh compartment, which was locked with a mechanical lock.

"Are you obsessed? Do you think I didn't ask the flight attendant to open any other doors in the first place?"

Ruo Ti scoffed.

He was in compartment number one, and he had initially tried to get the flight attendants to open other doors to look for clues to leave.

He shook his head and turned to walk towards the food cart.

He spoke these words in Middle-earth, seizing upon every possible mistake Heo might make to undermine Heo's prestige.

"of course can."

The flight attendant smiled and nodded, then took out a metal key and opened the door to compartment number seven.

······

Ruoti, who was walking towards the food cart, froze.

The small door to compartment number seven was slowly opened. Unlike the other compartments, it was not neatly decorated. Instead, there was a pitch-black vortex that filled most of the compartment.

The flight attendant, seemingly unconcerned about the presence of a vortex in the compartment, looked at the others and explained...

"If most of you distinguished guests believe that someone is a bad person, you may call on me to capture him and drag him into this vortex."

He wore the gentlest smile while uttering the most terrifying words.

This vehicle is encouraging all passengers to kill each other.

This was also within He Ao's expectations.

While cleaning up the body of the dead brown-haired man, he realized that the vehicle did not allow passengers to kill each other.

This means that the passengers seem to have no ability to fight back.

However, when designing this game, the car must have considered fairness. If passengers cannot kill the murderer themselves, then the car must have been designed to allow 'good people' to kill the murderer as well.

Since this method hasn't been made public, it's probably hidden somewhere.

There are only a few places on this car where you can hide things, so you can always find the answer by trying them out.

This vortex should also be a rule: when the majority of people vote that someone is a bad person, that person will be pushed into this vortex.

Once you enter this vortex, there's a high probability you won't survive.

This means that everyone present, regardless of their ability, now has the power to kill someone.

Killing the serial killer means winning, but killing an innocent person is like helping the serial killer.

Moreover, one must be psychologically prepared and bear the psychological consequences before committing murder.

Everyone stared at the vortex, falling into a brief moment of contemplation.

He Ao also fell into deep thought, but what he was thinking about was that this vortex should be a very important rule. Without this rule, the balance of the game would be seriously affected.

Why does this car hide this vortex?

The flight attendant slowly left, and the atmosphere became somewhat oppressive afterward.

Even Ruoti stopped picking a fight and seemed to be pondering something.

Outside the window, the sun was setting brilliantly, its rays filling the sky and the sea, but the people inside the car had no time to appreciate this magnificent view.

Gollum-

A crisp sound broke the silence.

Lin Chichi pressed her hand against her stomach, looking at everyone with some embarrassment and her face flushed.
