Death Certificate
The two returned to the Town Hall and stayed there overnight, until the bus returned to town the next morning.
"Did something happen last night?" Shen Yi noticed signs of a fight in the street.
Lin Pei briefly explained how the Doll had lured the Aliens over, then added, "It was very risky."
"If that's the case, I'd rather go hungry than face the Aliens." Shen Xin shook his head.
"Going hungry isn't a solution. We'll have to face the Aliens sooner or later, so the sooner we act, the better," Xu Huo said.
"Do we really have to try answering every riddle?" Shen Yi looked around.
"I think he has a point," Gu Yu said. "The longer we wait, the weaker we'll get. The risks will be even greater by then."
"Does anyone have a good plan?" Wu Qiuyi asked.
"One person answers the question while the others lie in wait nearby. If an Alien comes out, we kill it," Gu Yu suggested first.
"But a fight will inevitably make even more noise," Shen Yi said. "What if we attract the other Aliens?"
"The Aliens may be spread across different parts of town," Lin Pei said after some thought. "The game said the town only hired a few security guards. Let's assume there are nine of them. It would be great if we could find all their hiding places one by one."
"But the game has a rule that no three people can be in any public place at the same time. It's hard to tell what 'any' means, but if we lure the Aliens out and follow them to find the Ground Cages, we won't have enough people to pull it off."
"Another problem is what to use to block the entrances and exits."
