Not Just One Mimic Person?!
Unlike the previous round, when the voting process was skipped this time, everyone pointed the finger at Luo Jun.
"No need to say more, the mole is definitely this night! Only the mole has Special Permission, he's afraid we'll vote him out!" Zheng Ji said with a sneer, "Wearing a mask and acting all mysterious, he's definitely afraid we'll discover his identity. Who knows how many eyes and mouths are hidden under the mask!"
Luo Jun glanced at him, thinking to himself, "I saved your life, and this is how you repay kindness with enmity?"
Ignoring everyone's questions, Luo Jun looked at the Blue Box placed in front of them and stepped forward to open them.
Just like in the last cycle, the Blue Box contained two exercise balls.
Last time, everyone already suspected Lao Miao Miao, and naturally associated the exercise ball with Lao Miao Miao's surname. But this time it's different; everyone is now pointing the finger at Luo Jun regarding the exercise ball.
Some say it's something old men like to use, so it represents masculinity; others say it's made of stone, representing a calm and taciturn personality... The most outrageous one is that it's Zheng Ji's.
"I think these aren't exercise balls at all, they're two 'night-shining' pearls!"
As he spoke, he closed the lid of the box, leaving only a crack, and peered at it for a long time with his butt sticking out, but he didn't see the exercise ball inside glowing.
In the end, no matter how they tried to connect the dots, it all seemed a bit far-fetched, so everyone decided to take a look at the Red Box first.
Inside was a toy.
Cui Zheng Hai glanced at him. "Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. There are five men here in total."
"It's unlikely to have such a clear reference," Cui Zheng Hai retorted. "Besides, the clue from the last round was black hair. If it all represents race, wouldn't that contradict this clue?"
Zheng Ji took it and looked at it. "An arrow through the heart?"
"This is clearly a fighter!" Zheng Ji frowned. "You mean the Martial Combat Faction, right?"
Just then, Zheng Ji was playing with the toys, lost his grip and dropped them to the ground, shattering the toy's weapons and shield.
"Be careful, don't break it..." everyone reminded each other, and then they worked together to collect the parts.
Luo Jun glanced at Lao Miao Miao, his eyes filled with doubt.
As he spoke, he looked warily at Du Jincai, and then at Luo Jun: "Are you also a member of the Martial Combat Faction?"
At this moment, Zhu Sanyang, who had just picked up his shield, seemed to be deep in thought. He then reached out to Lao Miao Miao had just picked up her spear, and said, "Lend me this."
"Very likely." Zheng Ji then looked at Luo Jun: "Isn't this referring to the night?"
This toy looks like an ancient Western soldier, shirtless, wearing a helmet, holding a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right.
"What does this mean?" Du Jincai frowned. "Westerners? Does it refer to Elisa has already been voted out?"
Why is it different from last time? Wasn't it just one tooth before?
Lao Miao Miao took out the Key Rod Part she had just obtained, and then took out a Key Handle Part. Obviously, this should have been obtained in the previous level.
Luo Jun understood. The beast tooth clue from the last reincarnation was obtained by exchanging the privilege of activating the parts from the First Checkpoint, while this time it was activated using the key lever from the Second Checkpoint. This was the first time Lao Miao Miao had obtained the Key Rod Part, so this clue was also the first time she had seen it.
What does this look like to you?
"It's Male Symbol," Cui Zheng Hai analyzed. "It's said that the earliest internationally recognized Male Symbol originated from spears and shields... Could it be that this toy means the traitor is male?"
Luo Jun thought to himself, "This kid can drag anything into his own affairs. What Martial Combat Faction? I'm a pure and upright cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Body Refinement Realm!"
Everyone analyzed the toy's thirteen moves, but still didn't know what they represented.
Zhu Sanyang placed the spear and shield together, wedging the spear shaft into the slot behind the shield, forming a single unit.
"Who else could it be?" Zheng Ji curled his lip. "I'm definitely not him. Brother Du looks like a kind and honest man. Since Zhu Sanyang discovered this clue, it must be Ye!"
"What, I'm not a man, right?" Cui Zheng Hai asked, feigning anger.
"With hair that long, maybe you're a woman disguised as a man..." Zheng Ji pouted, determined to get close to Luo Jun, which nearly got him kicked by Cui Zheng Hai.
Seeing the shield and spear in Zheng Ji's hand, Luo Jun's expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at Lao Miao Miao.
He wasn't worried about being wrongly accused; rather, he was amazed by the significance of the clue.
The group's analysis made a lot of sense; this clue most likely referred to a man, while the clue in the Red Box referred to the real Mimic Person.
But the Mimic Person Elisa has already been locked up; she's a woman!
Is Elisa's identity a disguise? Could it be that her true identity is male?
Impossible. If they were using such Illusionary Tactic, then all the clues would be meaningless.
Lao Miao Miao was also very surprised and somewhat flustered. She came to Luo Jun's side and asked in a low voice, "Wrong?"
"No mistake!" Luo Jun was certain that Elisa was the Mimic Person; it was confirmed by the dice. But what if this clue really pointed to the Mimic Person being a man...?
"Could it be that there's more than one Mimic Person?" Luo Jun whispered.
Lao Miao Miao was taken aback, then shook her head hesitantly.
"Is there only one task information?"
He shook his head again.
"So that wasn't mentioned..." Luo Jun was prepared for this; if the information had clearly mentioned more than one Mimic Person, Lao Miao Miao wouldn't have been so surprised.
"There's likely more than one Mimic Person ..." Luo Jun whispered. "In the next round, we can't skip the voting. We must identify the Mimic Person before then and get everyone to vote for him!"
Lao Miao Miao nodded.
At this point, the door to the next level opened, and the group proceeded through the corridor to the final level's location.
As he walked, Luo Jun was also analyzing the information he currently had.
There are now six people left. Regarding the test of the Mimic Person, he rolled the dice twice. In the first round of rolling the dice, Lao Miao Miao and Zheng Ji drew the same number as himself, which was judged as Mandatory Event, which could only mean that neither of them were Mimic Person.
Then, the second time, he showed photos of the most suspicious individuals, Zhu Sanyang and Elisa, and ultimately determined it to be Elisa. This shows that Zhu Sanyang was definitely innocent; if both of them were Mimic Person, then the determination would have been Mandatory Event.
So now, the only remaining suspects are Du Jincai and Cui Zheng Hai.
Both are male, it's hard to tell...
But it doesn't matter; he still has two more Dice Opportunity to roll the dice. One roll, whether successful or not, will confirm the Mimic Person... but what if both of them are Mimic Person?
After all, there are three rounds of voting, so theoretically three people can be imprisoned...
If the outcome is Mandatory Event, then either both individuals are Mimic Person, or neither is. If it's the former, then the mission has failed... But if it's the latter, then the toy clues still point to Elisa, and everyone's analysis is wrong.
This is the best possible outcome!
Luo Jun felt uneasy and turned to look at Lao Miao Miao. The girl was sweating, likely having guessed the possibility of three Mimic Person and realizing the mission might have failed, and that she was destined to be eliminated...
"Don't worry," Luo Jun comforted him in a low voice, "There's at most one more Mimic Person. I can confirm the candidate, but the voting requires our joint efforts."
Even if she herself was unsure, she had to cheer up her teammates first; otherwise, if Lao Miao Miao gave up hope, she might do something rash.
Sure enough, upon hearing Luo Jun's words, Lao Miao Miao's eyes lit up again.
