I Killed "Greed"

This is Xu Xi's Livestream Room at this moment.

[Oh no, please don't open the door!!]

Why?

[What's wrong? Is there something outside the door?]

[Wait a minute, isn't our perspective supposed to be following the players?]

[You'll see if you go check out that guy in the Livestream Room.]

[I'm back! That damn guy was lying in wait outside!]

[I witnessed the whole thing, so let me explain.]

[I couldn't understand the encrypted conversation between the guy in the baseball cap and the guy in the suit, I don't know what they were conspiring to do.]

[But they each used chicken blood to lure a mummified corpse.]

[That's the couple who died in the field.]

[The mummified corpse outside the door was lured there by the person in the baseball cap.]

[He still had a packet of chicken blood in his hand, just waiting for Boss Xu Xi to open the door so he could throw it over.]

Holy crap, that's so insidious!

Why did WK want to harm Xu Xi and the others?

I don't know.

[Wouldn't the man in the suit have led the other one to the Young Woman in a Long Dress?]

[Yes, you guessed right. Here's a dried-up corpse as a reward.]

[... No joke, the two people in the clinic are in serious danger.]

After learning the details, the viewers in the live chat became worried.

The main thing is that it seems the two big shots were completely unprepared and never expected that a player would lure a dried-up corpse to ambush them outside the clinic.

Just as the chat was anxiously spamming "Don't open the door," but had already anticipated the scene of the two big shots being ambushed by the mummies after the door was opened, the young man in the black hoodie on the screen paused for a moment while gripping the handle, then turned to the other Tall, Thin Man and asked:

Does this clinic have a back door?

--

The clinic is divided into two parts: an outside examination table and medicine cabinet, and a small bed for examinations, separated by a curtain.

None of the players went inside the curtain during the day, so Xu Xi didn't know if the clinic had a back door.

The Tall, Thin Man was a little puzzled, but he went in to take a look and quickly came out again. "Yes, what's wrong?"

Not believing the Young Man in a Hoodie would care about a back door for no reason, a thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but ask, "You suspect there's danger outside the door?"

Xu Xi nodded slightly.

He hadn't expected this person to be so perceptive.

But considering that the other person had swiftly plunged the syringe into the dried-up corpse after he was tackled, he wasn't so surprised.

This person is clearly quick-witted.

Unfortunately, the mummified corpse moved faster, and he couldn't be saved.

However, he didn't just doubt it; he actually did it once.

Judging from the fact that he was splashed with blood as soon as he opened the door, it was obvious that someone was deliberately lying in wait for them outside.

I just don't know who that person... or those people are?

Was Gao Zhuang who killed them to cover it up? Was it the villagers who discovered their identities? Or was it Village Chief Zhu stance was ambiguous?

Could she be Shamaness?

After all, it was the Shamaness who invited them to go out at night.

But would Shamaness's methods be so... uh, physical? Shouldn't she be hiding in the shadows, spouting incantations and casting spells on them?

After mentally considering all the suspects, Xu Xi still couldn't decide on a specific target and silently complained before giving up for the time being.

We'll find out who it is in a bit.

Xu Xi explained his plans to the Tall, Thin Man, as he needed his cooperation.

The plan is simple.

He drew attention at the front door, Tall, Thin Man quietly left through the back door to go and ambush the people hiding there.

As for why he wasn't the one to arrest the person... he was afraid he couldn't win the fight.

"I'm alright at fighting."

The above was said by the Tall, Thin Man himself.

I wonder if someone's been lying in wait at the back door.

Tall, Thin Man stood at the back door, holding a syringe. He pretended to ask the Young Man in a Hoodie if he suspected there was danger outside, but in reality, he had already figured out that the other man was certain there was a problem outside.

Of all the players he had encountered, this young man possessed a unique air of mystery, which is why he chose to trust his judgment.

Grip the syringe tightly and carefully open the back door.

The night outside was quiet, and the night breeze that blew in brought a touch of coolness.

There is no danger for now.

Xu Xi waited a little while longer after the person left.

He took a deep breath; now it was up to him to react quickly.

Grasp the handle and press down gently. The moment the door opens, Xu Xi, perhaps prepared, notices the blood pack being thrown from the air with exceptional sharpness.

Unfortunately, before he could even see who was in the shadows, his hand had already slammed the door shut and locked it.

The blood pack slammed heavily against the door.

The next second, a tremendous force slammed into the door.

Xu Xi quickly took several steps back, then turned and ran towards the back door.

Now that the blood on the front door is attracting the mummified corpse, he can go after the Tall, Thin Man.

To avoid getting too close and being noticed by the mummified corpse, Xu Xi took a long detour before finally finding her familiar teammates behind a tree.

The first thing he asked upon seeing the person was, "How are you?"

The Tall, Thin Man looked like he'd just finished a chase; he was slightly out of breath.

"It's the player wearing the baseball cap."

"He was very cautious; he threw the blood pack away and ran away immediately."

He gave up after chasing for a while. They had come under cover of darkness to gather clues, so they shouldn't make too much noise. Besides, the other party had clearly planned their escape route, so continuing the chase wouldn't be wise.

Xu Xi was surprised to find that it was the Young Man in a Duckbill Cap.

He searched the suspects' bodies but couldn't find them.

So... what was that guy's purpose in deliberately luring the mummies to attack them?

Do you just want to kill them?

The Tall, Thin Man was also thinking about similar questions.

Regardless of the Young Man in a Duckbill Cap's purpose, the mummified corpse he attracted was probably a villager who died in his own wheat field after making a wish to the Mountain God.

Village Chief Zhu said they were a married couple.

One of them is at the clinic now, but what about the other one?

They exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, prepared to go find the Man in a Suit and the Young Woman in a Long Dress.

However, they didn't expect to run into a player on their way to the Shamaness's residence.

The Young Woman in a Long Dress saw them from afar and jogged over.

The three had just bumped into the Young Woman in a Long Dress when they asked, "Did that man in the baseball cap lead the other corpse there?"

The Tall, Thin Man nodded.

Before they could even ask, the Young Woman in a Long Dress calmly explained the situation, "The man in the baseball cap left the group halfway through under some pretext, and when the corpses attacked us, the man in the suit tried to stab me in the back."

"These two are probably working together."

The Man in a Suit was responsible for killing the Young Woman in a Long Dress, Young Man in a Duckbill Cap was responsible for ambushing Xu Xi and her companion.

Clear division of labor.

But when did these two secretly team up?

Oh right, the Young Man in a Duckbill Cap ran away, but what about the Man in a Suit?

Out of curiosity Xu Xi asked the question, only to hear the Young Woman in a Long Dress casually reply, "I killed her."
