Hunting Down the Cannibal Player
The gloomy man took out a handkerchief and covered Pan Siming's face. Then he stood and turned to the other players. "You know what this means."
"There's a Cannibal Player hiding among us," Li Weiran said.
Ni Tian glanced at the floor.
"While we were looking for paintings, someone was lurking behind us, waiting for a chance to kill. That's terrifying," Xu Huo said. "Unless we find that person, none of us can search for paintings in peace tonight."
"Exactly!" Xie Man was the first to speak up. "We need to check everyone's numbers!"
"Would checking numbers help?" Xu Huo shook his head. "Can't they be forged? My player level isn't high, but even I know the game has plenty of strange items. Changing the color of a number shouldn't be difficult."
"You're right," the gloomy man said. "Actually, I can identify the killer without checking any numbers."
"Who is it?" Ni Tian asked at once.
The gloomy man's gaze swept over the group. "You might not have noticed, but while Big Bear and Pan Siming were being attacked last night, someone opened and closed a door. Why open a door at a time like that?"
"Coming out under those circumstances would have been suicide. Whoever risked opening that door did it to kill. Judging by both the distance and the sound, that person was in the left-hand corridor."
He stepped back and pointed out You Huanhuan, Lu Gang, and Fan Shiji. "The Cannibal Player is one of you three."
"What nonsense!"
"That's a lie!"
Fan Shiji and You Huanhuan shouted at the same time. Fan Shiji glared at her, then added, "You guessed wrong. I didn't lock my door last night. I figured that since the monster knocked, maybe it wouldn't attack at random
