Surviving on the highway, I have a best friend who was reborn.

Chapter 69 Who will be next?

Bai Chen remained silent in the face of their gazes.

"……not me."

After saying that, he didn't say anything more, and went into Zhang Ruizhe's room to take a look around.

Finding nothing, they went back to the fallen head and squatted down to examine it.

Yuan Qiao looked at Xing Guang and then at Yu Yu Yao. They didn't say anything, even though they had many guesses in their hearts. The others didn't say anything either, so they simply kept quiet.

Yu Yuyao: "Did you find anything?"

Bai Chen ignored it and instead frowned, carefully examining some of the bloodstains with his hand.

After a while, Zhang Ruizhe's body stopped bleeding, and he remained kneeling there.

Yuanqiao did a lot of mental preparation for himself and even put on and used the lucky halo.

They also stepped forward to examine it, regardless of whether they were afraid or not, they still had to find clues.

"You stay outside, I'll go in and check," Yuanqiao said to Xingguang, worried that if they went into the room, they would be locked out and no one would open the door.

The room was filled with a strong smell of blood. Starlight didn't want to go in and watched from the corridor.

The room layouts were all pretty much the same, nothing special, except for the strange corpse.

Zhang Ruizhe was beheaded instantly without any struggle. What weapon could cut so cleanly? And all while everyone was watching…

With someone nearby, Yuanqiao was less scared and leaned closer to take a look. His eyes were closed, and his expression was calm.

Why is he kneeling towards the door?

Yuanqiao couldn't see anything, but something felt off, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Half an hour later, the four of them arrived at Xingguang's room, opened the door, and began to discuss things.

Yuanqiao moved the dressing stool to the door and sat down, then spoke:
"This instance lasts for 3 days, with two nights. Currently, two people are missing and one person is dead."

Starlight: "Someone died on the first night."

Yu Yuyao: "The invitation said it was a social gathering, but it's taking a bizarre turn. Who knows, someone might die next..."

She stood by the window in the room, looking at the marks. The crystal chandelier was dim, but the light still reflected off her skirt, making it shimmer and sparkle.

Yuanqiao had some guesses in his mind, and said to them:
"Besides the players, could there be other people in this castle? For example, someone who secretly kills us and then sows discord among us, causing us to fight amongst ourselves?"

Because this is too obvious an attempt to frame Bai Chen, but it cannot be ruled out that he was the one who did it.

"It could also be some rule set by that young master Rogers, which Zhang Ruizhe triggered, so he died."

"It could just be a prank by the castle owner," Yu Yuyao said with a playful smile.

“How come you see?”

She tossed her long, wavy hair to one side and said slowly:

"This body is fake."

"Huh, it's fake!?"

Yuanqiao peered in surprise into the room diagonally opposite, wanting to go check on Zhang Ruizhe's room again, but he didn't dare to go alone.

Bai Chen: "Yes, the body is a substitute prop. It's also possible that he was murdered and had no choice but to use a substitute prop to save his life."

"I see. Is he still in the castle? Should we go look for him?"

Bai Chen: "..."

Bai Chen: "I'm not going."

Yuanqiao gave an awkward laugh. If they didn't want to look for her, they didn't have to. Anyway, she didn't know her. After knowing that it was a stand-in prop, she wasn't so worried anymore.

"However, there may indeed be unknown dangers within the castle. It's just a matter of whether the host of the banquet has arranged something bloody or benign."

Yu Yuyao stopped looking at the claw marks and walked to Yuan Qiao's side, suggesting that they go back to their room to rest.

Is this the end of the discussion? Yuanqiao was still completely confused, feeling like his intelligence was being rubbed on the ground when he was with these people.

It was already 11 p.m. when Yuan Qiao and Yu Yuyao returned to the room next door. As soon as she entered the room, her fishtail skirt transformed into a sexy lace camisole nightgown.

Yuanqiao was stunned. "You wholesale your costumes and props?"

She figured she'd buy one after the dungeon ended; changing outfits was so convenient.

"Haha, are you stunned?" Yu Yuyao lay down on the bed, struck a very seductive pose, and beckoned Yuan Qiao with her index finger.

Yuanqiao: !!!
What are you doing! She's a girl, a girl with a normal sexual orientation.

"Pfft, hahaha, you're so cute, I won't tease you anymore." After laughing, Yu Yuyao seriously picked up a book from the bedside table and flipped through it.

After reading it, he handed it to Yuanqiao.

"Do you have any translation tools? Look at the last word of each chapter title and combine them into a sentence."

Yuanqiao also sat down on the edge of the bed and touched the hair clip on her forehead. Because it was used as an ornament, it was not among the three limited items, just like their costumes and props.

Yuanqiao only realized now that he could have used special accessories to exploit a bug and enter the dungeon, but he was too hasty.

"Really... or fake... you need to learn to tell the difference, and find the hidden owner of the castle..."

The clues are so obvious! She flipped through the book when she first came to the room, and the contents were not like this.

“I used special props to reveal the clues.”

Yuanqiao: "Oh, so this information means the castle owner is here, or is one of our players hiding in the shadows?"

Holding the book and pondering, Yuanqiao was really missing Nanxi. She was the fastest at solving escape room games.

"This dungeon isn't too difficult."

Yu Yuyao spoke calmly.

"!"

"Sister, please help me! I'm terrified of puzzle games like this!" Yuan Qiao excitedly tried to hug Yu Yuyao's leg.

"I suppose Bai Chen has figured something out too. Let's go to sleep first, get some rest, and see what fun things are happening tomorrow."

The darkness outside the window concealed a figure climbing the wall to eavesdrop on their conversation.

I originally intended to do something to them, but in the end I climbed into the next room instead.

……

In an unfamiliar place, surrounded by unfamiliar people, Yuanqiao didn't sleep well.

Yawning, Yuanqiao got up and looked at herself in the mirror with the image of a cleaning lady in a rage. There was no water to wash up, so Yuanqiao came up with this method to keep the place clean and tidy.

Yu Yuyao looked in the mirror at her dressing table, wearing a neat A-line skirt and a white shirt, looking just like a white-collar worker getting ready to go to work.

The two opened the door, and Yuanqiao looked at the next room with great surprise. The entire wooden door was broken, and the room was a mess.

It was obvious that there had been an attack; Starlight was not in the room.

"It's shattered like this, how come we didn't hear a thing!"

It seems there was something wrong with these rooms themselves.

Yuan Qiao and Yu Yuyao arrived at Bai Chen's room and were about to knock when the door was opened from the inside.

Bai Chen: Good morning.

They looked at them strangely, as if asking what business they had of coming to see them.

"Starlight is gone, his door was damaged, and there are obvious signs of a struggle inside, as if he was captured by some monster!"

Yuanqiao continued, "It's strange, we're right next door, and we didn't hear a thing."

Bai Chen also said that he had just woken up and had not heard any noise last night or this morning.

　I've revised it again and again, but I still haven't written a horror dungeon, hahaha.

　　Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly tickets, everyone!
