Binding to the nation's destiny: Start by choosing the underworld, where a hundred ghosts parad

Li Mo was certain that happy Ge had been poisoned by drinking water after 2 a.m.

Could it be that the assassin didn't sleep at 2 AM last night and is possibly hiding in Xige's room?

However, there are still some problems that cannot be solved effectively.

"Who was the first to spot Brother Xi today?"

Li Mo looked at the people in the room, and Fei Fei spoke first: "It's me. I was quite hungry when I woke up today and wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat. Normally, Brother Xi would have already gotten up and made something to eat by this time, but he wasn't today, so I thought it was strange and came to call Brother happy."

Feifei paused for a moment after saying this.

“When I arrived, Xige’s door was closed, but as soon as I knocked, the door opened. I went to the doorway and saw Xige lying on the ground.”

Xiao Jia added, "I can testify that I came out with Fei Fei. I was walking downstairs, intending to go to the kitchen, when I saw Fei Fei coming up the stairs. She said she was going to call Xi Ge, and I knew there was no food. So I waited at the bottom of the stairs, intending to go to the kitchen with them."

As Xiao Jia said this, a look of panic appeared on her face.

Then she pulled Feifei along and cautiously looked at the other people.

It was obvious that they had anticipated the assassin's actions, and the assassin was hiding among the remaining five people.

Li Mo didn't know what to do either. Looking at happy Ge's body, he asked the others, "What should we do with happy Ge's body? Should we build him a grave?"

Xiao Zhang came to Li Mo's side and whispered, "No need, it will refresh and disappear after a while."

Upon hearing this, Li Mo immediately turned his head and looked at Xiao Zhang.

Do you know how long it takes for it to refresh?

Xiao Zhang shook his head. Li Mo then looked at the others, who also hesitated. He knew that no one should pay attention to this matter. In fact, Li Mo didn't know why he wanted to know this.

After all, once a person dies, they are dead. The system will automatically delete them, so they don't need to clean it up themselves, which is very convenient.

But for some reason, Li Mo felt that this game seemed a bit absurd, completely disregarding its players.

Even death is meant to erase the traces of one's existence.

Perhaps because Li Mo's face wasn't looking too good, Fei Fei recalled, "I remember it was about ten hours, or maybe twelve hours, I haven't calculated it exactly."

Li Mo thought for a moment. If happy Ge died around 2 o'clock, it's 9 o'clock now. Seven hours have passed since then, so the body still has at least three hours to exist.

If it's later, there will be more time, but it will still be at most five hours.

He didn't know if he could find clues and identify the assassin within five hours.

Li Mo didn't want to die, and he knew he wasn't the assassin, so the only way to save his life was to find out who the assassin was. He either had to kill the person or stay far away.

Li Mo looked at the others and said, "We all want to live. I know I'm not an assassin. Assassins existed before I came, so I think we can either live in groups according to our own choices, or live separately."

He spoke while glancing at the expressions on the other people's faces.

“If you live separately, it’s like handing your life over to the other person. Being alone makes you an easy target for being killed. So my advice is to act together, even at night.”

Feifei was the first to speak up: "I agree with Li Mo that we should hurry up. We can't act alone. There should be at least two people for everything. If something happens to one of us, then the other one will be the assassin."

Gao Xuan glared at Li Mo, his eyes carrying a warning, before speaking.

“I agree with Feifei’s statement, and I have no objection to acting together.”

"I have no objection either. It's safer for us to act together. What about you, Xiao Zhang?"

When Xiao Jia asked him, Xiao Zhang looked up quickly as if he had been startled awake, then lowered his head again and said softly, "I have no objection. I'm the youngest, so I'll listen to everyone, as long as I'm not left alone."

At this point, everyone agreed to act together. Since they had retrieved a lot of supplies yesterday, Feifei decided not to go out to search for boxes today, since boxes that haven't been claimed won't refresh and will remain in place.

Now that no one is cooking, Xiao Jia only knows some simple things, like cooking rice, but she can't cook any other dishes.

So everyone unanimously decided to eat instant noodles.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the water was boiled, and everyone began to brew their own. Li Mo took out the compressed biscuits and gave one to each person. That's how everyone ate breakfast and lunch together.

Since no one was going out for the rest of the time, Li Mo suggested going back to the third floor to look for clues.

So they went back to Xige's room. Xige was still lying on the floor. Li Mo felt sorry for him and put him on his bed, since no one would be living in the room anymore.

Gao Xuan kept his eyes on Li Mo, watching him pace back and forth.

Xiao Zhang sat silently in the chair behind Gao Xuan, lost in thought.

Feifei and Li Mo looked through the things in the room together. Xiao Jia seemed a little scared and stayed far away from the bed.

Around 12:40, happy Ge's body disappeared. Li Mo knew that the body could only be preserved for a maximum of ten hours.

If it was twelve hours, that would be around three or four in the afternoon. It's safe to say that Brother happy was killed between two-thirty and three o'clock, and he didn't tell anyone else this conclusion.

Li Mo felt a little guilty. He had actually fallen asleep like that yesterday; otherwise, he might have heard some useful sounds.

They wouldn't be as clueless as they are now.

Li Mo looked at the spot where the body had disappeared, then looked at Xiao Jia and whispered, "Xiao Jia, what time did you go to sleep last night? Did you hear anything unusual?"

Xiao Jia looked at Li Mo angrily and questioned, "What do you mean by asking that? Are you doubting me?"

Li Mo looked at Xiao Jia quietly and said reassuringly.

"I just want to ask if there are any clues. Wouldn't it be safer for us to find the assassin as soon as possible? Why do we have to live in constant fear?"

Xiao Jia seemed comforted by Li Mo's calm expression and began to recall.

"I had trouble sleeping last night. Around 1:30, I thought I heard Feifei's door open next door. Feifei didn't come back for a long time, and then I drifted off to sleep and don't know what happened next."

Hearing this, Li Mo glanced at Fei Fei in the distance and continued to ask Xiao Jia.

"So you stayed in your room all night and didn't come out, right?"

Xiao Jia nodded firmly: "Li Mo, I really wouldn't be an assassin. I have a good relationship with Brother Xi. He took good care of me before. You can believe me."

Li Mo smiled and patted Xiao Jia on the shoulder: "You need to be careful, anyone could be your next target."

After saying that, Li Mo walked to Fei Fei's side and said to her.

"May I ask, what kind of person were you last night?"

Feifei obviously heard what Xiaojia said. Feifei sighed and said, "I was a little hungry last night and wanted to find something to eat. I remembered that you had found some compressed biscuits, so I went to the kitchen."

"I looked for a long time but couldn't find it. I was about to give up and drink some milk to tough it out when I saw Brother Xi come down. I asked him what he was doing, and he said he had accidentally bumped his forearm on the cabinet and it hurt so much that he came down to put some medicine on it, so I helped him."

Feifei looked at Li Mo sincerely as she finished speaking.

"I still have milk bottles in my room, from last night's drinks."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhang chimed in, "I was wondering why there was one less bottle of milk. I thought it was the one Xi-ge drank yesterday, so I didn't say anything."

Li Mo had previously looked at the medicine's packaging box, which was completely wrapped in a layer of plastic film. Therefore, to take out the wound spray, he would have to tear the plastic film or make a hole in it.

The plastic film he saw had been torn open.

Moreover, it involved using both hands to pull and tear the object from side to side.

Li Mo had been wondering about this, but now that he understood, he said that Brother Xi's forearm injury was quite serious.

He wasn't holding back at the time, so Xige must have been in a lot of pain. His right hand probably wasn't strong either, so it's impossible for him to have torn open the outer packaging like that.

In this way, Feifei's explanation makes sense; it was Feifei who helped Xige.

"After you got your medicine, Brother Xi? When did you go to sleep?"

Li Mo continued to ask Fei Fei, who hesitated for a moment before saying, "I went back with Brother Xi. I asked Brother Xi if he needed help, and he said no, he could manage on his own. Then we parted ways on the stairs."

After Feifei finished speaking, she quickly glanced at Gao Xuan, though the glance was subtle.

However, Li Mo, who had been paying close attention to Fei Fei, still noticed and asked her directly, "When you and happy Ge separated, who did you meet?"

Gao Xuan stood up and walked towards Li Mo.

His face was contorted with anger: "So what if you run into me? What are you doing here, asking everyone questions? Do you think you've cleared your name? I think you're the assassin! Who knows if you were the one who secretly sabotaged things before you appeared out of nowhere!"

Everyone was stunned, including Li Mo, who noticed that Gao Xuan seemed unhappy.

However, no one expected Gao Xuan to lose his temper like this. Even Fei Fei was frightened by him and immediately stood up and came over to pull him away.

Aside from her initial surprise, Li Mo quickly regained her composure.

"I didn't say what I was going to do. I just wanted to see if we could find out who the assassin was. Your suspicions aren't unfounded. I'd like to ask, if it were an assassin, would there be any differences in their personal attributes?"

Li Mo turned to look at Xiao Zhang, who shook his head to indicate no. Li Mo was somewhat disappointed.

Li Mo then shrugged: "I don't know how to prove my innocence. If only it could be seen from the personal information on the door, then anyone who can share it can be ruled out. Now I can only use the most basic investigative method."

Li Mo said in a meaningful tone, "Why are you so agitated? Is it because of Fei Fei? Are you jealous?! That's ridiculous! This is a survival game, where life and death are at stake at every moment. Do you think this is an idol drama?!"

Xiao Jia couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Gao Xuan immediately looked at her, and Xiao Jia hurriedly covered her mouth: "Sorry, I couldn't help it, you guys continue!"

"See? I'm not the only one who thinks you're strange. Although I don't know what happened between you and Feifei, in my understanding, nothing can beat a human life, whether it's your own or someone else's."

Li Mo then stared intently at Fei Fei and Gao Xuan, saying, "So, can you two tell me what else happened last night?"

Xiao Zhang's mouth dropped open in surprise. He hadn't expected that this handsome guy who arrived last, who seemed so gentle and unassuming, would suddenly erupt with such sharpness.

He seemed to possess an aura that compelled people to listen to him and obey him.

Xiao Zhang secretly gave Li Mo a thumbs-up from behind Gao Xuan, waving it to show his admiration.

Li Mo's lips twitched slightly. Although he had lost 0.7% of his memory, a person's personality and way of handling things would not change. Li Mo felt that he had once carried a great responsibility.

It's similar to his current situation; if he finds the assassin, all the survivors will live.

Even assassins are not necessarily unable to survive.

If he doesn't find it, not only he, but all of them will probably die, and he doesn't want that to happen.

Chapter 487: He didn't want to die! He chose to die alone! (Please customize)

Li Mo was unaware of how intimidating his aura was, making people afraid to challenge or refute him.

A look of surprise flashed in Feifei's eyes, followed by contemplation, before her eyes regained their previous clarity.

Li Mo observed and remembered all of this, pretending not to notice, and waited for Gao Xuan and Fei Fei to speak.
