Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 1417: The missed believer

The character "Elizabeth" seems to be a dam.

Even though her rising emotions were constantly crashing against it like huge waves, this dam still firmly blocked all the wind and waves, allowing only a shallow bay of water to reach the surface. So no matter how intense her inner emotions were, in the end Elizabeth just shook her head, sighed softly and said: "I like it very much..."

The life and death of a potted plant did not stir up much excitement in other people's hearts. None of the neighbors paid much attention to Mao Kui. They gathered around and saw the dead baby body in the basin. Amidst low exclamations, everyone turned their heads in unison - they were all standing outside the door, but their eyes fell on the barbecued Hu in the center of the living room.

Barbecue Hu lowered his head and turned a blind eye to them, staring at a book in his hand without blinking. That booklet was familiar to all of them. Everyone carried it with them. It was their role manual.

"...failed," the middle-aged woman who played the role of Barbecue Hu clutched the character manual until it was deformed, raised her eyes and looked at them and said. Her facial features returned to their original delicate and calm state, with only her lips trembling slightly: "Because of this goddess, my mission failed."

The mission failed before the game has reached 30 days, then——

As soon as this idea came to Elizabeth's mind, the door of the apartment was suddenly pushed open by a force, and was thrown in front of them with a "pop", which shocked several tenants and took two steps back. The door closed tightly, cutting off light, sound, and the person in the room behind the door.

Immediately afterwards, the curtain behind the window of the house was suddenly closed, the light went out at the same time, and darkness fell under the crack of the door. Within half a breath, Apartment No. 1 fell into deathly silence and darkness as if it had never been used, as if it had been swallowed into the building.

...Does that middle-aged woman want to wait with them in the darkness behind the door until the game ends in 30 days?

Elizabeth wanted to shudder.

A more realistic question is, will players who fail a mission still count as one of the strategy targets?

"This apartment seems to be used as a warehouse," after a while, someone came up with an explanation that was consistent with the principles of the game. "Forget it, we should go."

The dead baby was still lying in the flowerpot. Everyone glanced at it a few times before leaving. Finally, Jessica asked: "Did you really calculate all of this? Didn't you happen to see something?" ?"

Elizabeth was originally thinking about how to take the cat Kui back upstairs - even if it died, she would not be willing to leave it alone outside - she came back to her senses after hearing this and nodded slowly.

"I know you don't believe in my abilities, and that's okay. But if you think about it carefully, you will know that I spent most of this afternoon with you, and what I saw, you also saw. ”

The few people looked at each other and said nothing for a while.

"Before we entered Apartment No. 4, she knew there was blood inside," Ms. Chen added hesitantly, as if giving her a footnote, saying: "During the time when the murder occurred, She is indeed in the room... The ceiling in my apartment is very thin, and I can vaguely hear some footsteps."

"I was not only attacked by evil spirits in the room, but also in the room." Elizabeth thought of the doll wearing red shoes and clenched her fists. She originally wanted to talk to Mao Kui. Even if Mao Kui wouldn't answer her, it would at least calm her down a bit... Now that her Mao Kui is gone, the doll might still be waiting for her in her apartment.

"Evil spirit..." Jessica and Mr. Guan looked at each other.

"There is an evil spirit in this building. Perhaps it is it that confuses people's hearts and incites people's murderous intention, which is why so many people died in a row." Elizabeth did not forget her goal and reluctantly cheered up. Said: "It may have sensed my plan to drive away and purify evil spirits... so it attacked me."

This statement seemed unconvincing for a moment, so she didn’t say much, just turned around and helped up the cat sunflower. Miss Chen was a few steps behind, but she actually took the initiative to help her lift Mao Kui on the other side. Although Elizabeth looked calm on her face, she understood in her heart: It seemed that Miss Chen finally decided to do it under her series of "divinations". Turn to her for help; as long as she follows her instructions and goes to Pink's hidden location to find out the identity information, she will naturally become one of her "believers".

As the group of people walked toward the stairs, Elizabeth saw Pink glance several times in the direction of Apartment 4. They came out in a hurry, and someone didn't close the door tightly. At this time, the door slid open a little more - she followed and looked into the apartment, and her eyes fell on the lying dead body.

... She was slightly startled and raised her eyebrows.

She seems to know what Pink found.

When Elizabeth looked back, she happened to meet Pinker's eyes; she quickly rolled her eyes in the direction of Miss Chen beside her, and Pinker seemed to understand what she meant, and both of them turned away knowingly. Headed.

"I want to play here for a while," Pink said to his grandma. Without waiting for his grandma to nod, he turned around and walked into the small lawn - and his grandma naturally followed quickly. Despite her young age, this child has a good rapport with her: with just one look, Pink knows that Elizabeth is ready to let Miss Chen obtain her target.

Miss Chen’s eyes lingered on her grandparents and grandchildren for a while.

"I thought about it, I have nothing to lose by asking you to help me with my predictions..." She murmured, "When will you be free? How much will you charge?"

Elizabeth suppressed her thoughts about Apartment No. 4 - no matter what happened, it was someone else trying to achieve someone else's goals, and there was no need for her to get involved. She looked at Miss Chen and said, "I don't charge a fee, as long as you are willing to answer my questions."

Miss Chen’s brows furrowed tightly.

"Just think that I am overly curious," Elizabeth lowered her voice and asked: "The hexagram shows that what you are looking for is extremely important to you, even life-threatening... But it But it’s at Grandma Pink’s house. Why is that?”

Miss Chen's mouth was closed extremely tightly, as if it had never been opened in her life.

Elizabeth walked patiently in silence for a while, until the other neighbors went back separately. Only when she and Miss Chen were standing next to the staircase, holding the dead Mao Kui, did the old lady finally speak out. .

"At her home?" She seemed not to be able to completely believe it. "Did you see something, just make a wild guess...? I think there is an 80% chance that it's not at her home."

"Why?" Elizabeth tilted her head.

Miss Chen's face became even more embarrassed. She paused for a few seconds before saying: "...Because I have searched her home several times. I thought that the thing that belonged to her should naturally be at her home. ”

"Oh?" Elizabeth tried her best to look surprised. "How did you search? Although she is confused——"

As long as she gets started, Ms. Chen’s subsequent confession will be much smoother. Even if someone died, everyone in the building still had an attitude of not hindering her, which perhaps made her feel safer.

"I used medicine," she said simply, "an anesthetic. Every time I make them pass out, I can start searching."

Her expression was natural, as if it was normal to casually drug someone into a coma - or, in other words, it seemed to be commonplace and unimportant to her.

Miss Chen’s character introduction did not specify her occupation... What did she do before?

As Elizabeth thought, she asked: "Where did your medicine come from?"

"Hei Peng sold it to me." Miss Chen said, carrying Maokui upstairs with her, and said: "When no one was paying attention, I met him at the bottom of the stairs, holding hands with him. Pay the money and get the medicine."

"...It seems you bought a lot?" Elizabeth added, "You just said you have searched several times."

"Could it be that you want this medicine?" Ms. Chen glanced at her, thinking she understood her motives, and replied: "It's impossible, I don't have any more on hand. Hei Peng's last transaction before his death Here, he only sold me two doses of medicine. He said there was no more, and I had already used them up."

No wonder she hasn’t drugged Grandma Pink recently. It turns out it’s because she ran out of medicine.

"I suspect that Hei Peng is still secretly selling medicine to other residents," Ms. Chen said, complaining: "When I first found him, he clearly assured me that there was enough medicine. It’s only been a while and it’s already sold out!”

"I'm afraid you're right," Elizabeth finally sighed as she watched her apartment door getting closer and closer, "...I think I can guess who his other customer is."

Before rushing downstairs, Yan Huang had clearly told Elizabeth that she had seen Aibi and Hei Peng talking privately - of course, this in itself may not be sufficient evidence; but Aibi went in and out of Hu's house for barbecues , but the latter is still completely unconscious. I am afraid it is not only the effect of alcohol, right?

"It makes sense. If it's Aibi, it makes sense. Oh, are the plants just at the door?" The two of them had already arrived at the door of the apartment while they were talking. Miss Chen let go of Mao Kui and looked at her The door was still ajar. "You...are you going to tell me a divination here?"

Miss Chen, who originally scorned her supernatural abilities, is now a little afraid of the evil spirits inside - after the "divination", the number of Elizabeth's followers will definitely rise to 4.

In fact, she herself is still a little worried about the apartment, but there are still more than ten days before the end of the game, so it is impossible for her to stay away from the house. "If I am prepared, I won't be attacked so easily." This was a true statement. She carried Maokui into the room and sat on the sofa, and said to Miss Chen: "Come in with me, and I will do a divination for you." ."

Pink had already told her where the character information of Grandma Pink was hidden, and all she had to do was perform a so-called magic trick in a mysterious way. She placed some fancy props on the dining table and invited Ms. Chen to sit down at the dining table.

In order to avoid being found out by Miss Chen, Elizabeth shortened the process of doing it; like many psychics who pretend to be ghosts, she closed her eyes and slowly gestured with the objects on the table with her hands, as if she was feeling someone else. The same inaudible voice said: "I saw many indicative images...ah, I know, there is a place you haven't looked for..."

Miss Chen said nothing, as if she was waiting with bated breath for her answer.

"Actually, it's always been under your nose." Elizabeth said, "Grandma Pink likes to sit on the sofa knitting sweaters, and the unfinished sweaters are always left on the sofa...right?"

I don’t know if Miss Chen knocked on the table in excitement, but she heard a muffled sound. Elizabeth immediately opened her eyes and saw Miss Chen staring at her unblinkingly, half of her body leaning over the table.

"She punched that thing between two layers of sweaters," Elizabeth reminded. "You will find that the half-finished sweater is thicker than the average single-layer sweater."

Miss Chen took a breath, jumped up, turned around and rushed out the door ~IndoMTL.com~ She didn’t have time to say a word, and the door wasn’t even closed for her.

Pink had deliberately avoided it with his grandma, and Miss Chen's goal could be successfully achieved; Elizabeth did not chase her, but just leaned back on the chair and let out a long breath. Her and Pinker's plan is to let Ms. Chen complete her goal - in this way, she will have an additional "believer", and in exchange, she will agree to Pinker's request.

…As for Grandma Pink, wish her the best of luck.

She took out the character manual from her arms and turned to the mission progress. It's still 3. This is not surprising. I'm afraid Ms. Chen hasn't really gotten the thing yet; wait another minute or two, and the number will soon become 4...

Three minutes later, the number remained unchanged.

What's going on?

Elizabeth stood up in confusion. She was tall, and after she stood up from the dining table, her eyes suddenly crossed the dining table and fell on the floor - she felt cold all over.

Miss Chen was lying under the dining table with her body twisted and her face ashen. It was obvious that she had just died, because the white foam around her mouth was still wet.
