The male supporting character was actually myself.

However, the next second the parts on the ground wriggled and connected together to stand up, and the right hand reached into the gap in the door and began to fiddle with the wooden latch that was stuck inside.

"What is this thing?!" Avia exclaimed in surprise, followed by the sound of a longsword hacking at the door.

However, the next second the murderer collapsed again and crawled through the crack in the door.

"Uh..." Avia let out one last groan as her longsword fell to the ground.

A few seconds later she fell from the air with a muffled sound.

{Entering safe time}

Avia is dead; the killer will not kill again.

But instead of feeling relaxed, everyone felt even more heavy-hearted.

Jiang Chen tried and found that he couldn't get out of bed at all, and his hands were also affected and could only be fixed in one position.

"Host, it seems the murderer is trying to destroy the evidence!" The little white cat, its voice trembling, dared not linger outside and buried itself in its host's arms, no longer daring to go out.

Even without it being said, Jiang Chen could tell.

The murderer picked up a match and lit the candles in the hall; after dragging the body, the sound of scooping water could be heard.

"Duang! Duang!"

Chop with an axe;

"Crack squeak~"

The sickening sound of sawing bone;

Finally, there's the sound of the knife cutting.

The group of people listened with trepidation and rapid breathing.

"Plop, plop!" Something was obviously thrown into the wooden tub; the slippery sound was nauseating.

"Clang clang clang clang clang..."

Then the sound of chopping meat echoed through the hall, lasting for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, the murderer cleaned the hall with water, carried a large wooden basin, and swaggered away from the stone house.

Duan Chengze felt something stuck in his throat, he wanted to vomit but couldn't, and he couldn't move, he was in terrible pain.

The thought of the murderer so wantonly dismembering the body sent a surge of anger and resentment through him.

However, everything happened too fast, and he had no other tools to use.

We can only hope that dawn will break soon, so we can find Avia's body, uncover clues, and catch the murderer!

Not long after the murderer left, the group of people fell into a deep sleep.

It's probably because the death game system forces sleep; otherwise, no one could withstand such psychological pressure to rest. Without sleep day and night, they would collapse in less than two days.

When Jiang Chen opened her eyes and woke up, it was already broad daylight.

Almost simultaneously, all the players woke up and sat up in bed.

"Mmm, what a lovely day," Kane mumbled, chewing on something. "And let me tell you, the farm woman's cooking is really good! Especially the meat patties this morning—they were generously portioned, with a perfect balance of lean and fat, and they were absolutely delicious!"

"Ugh!" Song Gang couldn't help but gag twice.

Kane gave him a strange look and muttered, "I'm going to the mine to see if all the guys have arrived after I've eaten. We're running out of barrels, it's a real headache."

If any of you go to the village, please tell the carpenter to hurry up with the work; we need his buckets.

Duan Chengze casually agreed, and the burly Kane put on his coat and went out.

“That meat…” Song Gang’s face twitched as he looked at the others, hesitatingly asking, “Could I be overthinking this?”

On the large wooden table sat a basket of steaming meat patties and a large pot of hot tea.

The same group of people who had enjoyed their meal yesterday now had no appetite for the slightly suspicious meat pie.

The hall was spotless, without a trace of blood, and there was no indication that the murderer had disposed of Avia's body here the night before.

"Will we find the murderer today?" Zhimeng's eyes were red and swollen as she looked at Jiang Chen and Duan Chengze with pleading eyes. "I really can't take it anymore, last night..."

She covered her face and cried as she recalled Avia's gentle comfort.

The others were also upset, and the atmosphere in the hall was heavy and somber.

“We can’t kill a murderer who does it at night; we can only find him and kill him during the day.” Jiang Chen was silent for a few seconds before finally deciding to reveal himself. “I already tried that last night.”

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Close Your Eyes When It Gets Dark (5)

The remaining five people:!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

"Unkillable?" Song Gang was the first to shout. "Is it a monster?"

Liang Rumeng's expression was serious. "So it really is a werewolf? But werewolves are supposed to have strong self-healing abilities, right? How could they be unkillable?"

"Dude, did you stab him in the heart with a stick?" Lin Yuan asked excitedly.

Jiang Chen looked at Duan Chengze and explained, "I don't want to hide anything from you, but there are some things..."

“I understand,” Duan Chengze nodded. “We’re all adults, it’s normal to have some cards up your sleeve. What I’m more interested in is—how did you try? Was the other person really a werewolf?”

The little white cat perched on his shoulder, washing its face and stroking its ears as it muttered, "Host, it's fine for you to expose yourself like this, but be careful that others don't have designs on you."

Especially that Lin Yuan, he doesn't look like a good person at all.

Furthermore, the way the host spoke to the protagonist felt really strange.

“I don’t think the killer is a werewolf.” Jiang Chen handed Duan Chengze a bag of breakfast biscuits and two bottles of water, and explained seriously, “It’s human-shaped, about 1.75 to 1.77 meters tall.”

It was completely black and had a pungent smell, much like petroleum.

The tool I used could dismember it—including its internal organs and brain—but it was completely unaffected and could quickly wriggle back together and stand up again.

I just checked the marks on the door and I can roughly deduce that the murderer could liquefy.

He used this ability to open the door;

This was also how the ladies' doors were opened, so Avia cleaved the wooden doors with her longsword, leaving some marks.

She must have seen the killer's change, which is why she shouted, "What is this thing?"

The mere mention of Avia brought tears to Dream's eyes again.

But what else can we do?

Jiang Chen even tried the most lethal tools, but still couldn't stop the killer's actions.

"Hurry up and eat something. Let's try to find out the killer's identity today!" Liang Rumeng encouraged everyone.

There were almost no traces left in the hall.

After discussing it, Jiang Chen and Duan Chengze split up and acted separately.

He first went to the farm woman who was in charge of cooking and delivering meals.

"Do the adults like the meat patties I make?" The peasant woman remained expressionless as she busied herself tidying up various utensils by the stove. "That's because the butcher prepared good meat for us!"

To ensure the adults had fresh meat, he went to slaughter a pig before dawn.

He chopped the meat himself and brought it over.

Following the peasant woman's directions, Jiang Chen met the butcher he hadn't seen the day before.

He was slightly shorter than Kane but much fatter, with thick, curly black hair and a sparse beard, and he was cutting a large piece of pork with a knife.

"What did you think of the meat patties this morning, Your Excellency?"

The butcher, whose face was splattered with blood, was very hospitable and enthusiastically introduced the pig, saying, "That's a pig I slaughtered before dawn."

They specially selected the best pork, chopped it into minced meat, and delivered it to the farmer's wife.

It was still early then, and she hadn't gotten up yet.

As agreed, I placed the chopped minced meat in her yard.

Other people?

Of course they can recognize me. I always use my own wooden basin to hold meat, and everyone in the village knows me.

The people in our village are all very kind; no one ever steals. When I deliver meat to someone's house, I just leave it in their yard.

Leaving the butcher's house where the knife was being sharpened, the little white cat complained, "He really doesn't know how to steal; he even adds ingredients to it!"

"Where did you follow the killer last night? Take me along the route," Jiang Chen whispered to Rongtuanzi.

It quickly found the victim's remaining bones in the dog kennel.

The only dog ​​in the entire village was kept in the backyard of a wooden house. It was tall and fierce, and its breed was hard to tell. Its eyes were fierce and glowed slightly red. The way it stared at Jiang Chen seemed to want to tear a piece of flesh off him.

"Roar!" Through the wooden fence, the big dog opened its mouth slightly, its tongue sticking out and drooling. Seeing his provocative expression, it let out a low growl and tried to rush up, but was restrained by the leather collar around its neck.

Jiang Chen used a twig to dig out all the remaining bones from the doghouse. Apart from the small bones that the dog had chewed up, most of the other bones were there.

"Is it bones?" Song Gang, Liang Rumeng, and Zhimeng were aimlessly searching for a corpse in the village when they heard the commotion and all gathered around.

The ferocious dog, though menacing, did not obstruct them; it merely stared at them with a sinister gaze that was almost human-like.

Liang Rumeng found a wooden basket, collected all the bones inside, and together with Song Gang, carried it back to the stone house for careful examination.

"Poor Avia." DedeCMS covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.

Jiang Chen sighed, "I tried my best last night."

"No, no, no, I didn't mean to blame you." She wiped away her tears, her shoulders trembling as she sobbed, "I just felt so sorry for her."

She is a very good person and very brave.

If the murderer wasn't so terrifying, I believe she wouldn't have been so easily...

“If the killer didn’t have special abilities, he would have been dead last night.” Jiang Chen watched the little white cat beckoning from the woods in the distance and asked, “Do you want to come with me to look for clues?”

Zhimeng quickly wiped away her tears, "Okay! I will try my best to do as much as possible. If I can catch the murderer, I can avenge Avia!"

The killer's route was simple.

Carrying a large wooden basin out of the stone house, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he put the chopped meat into the covered wooden basin containing minced meat as he passed by the farmer's house.

Then he threw the bone into the doghouse;
