"Wait, did you make a mistake? Frame someone? I don't know anything." Huang Pi explained repeatedly. Ruan Qing was missing. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is the best choice to temporarily join forces with Shi Qiu next door. Of course, misunderstandings must be resolved.
Shi Qiu: "You said you don't know?"
Huang Pi: "Of course I don't know. I have been hiding in the tower. After being caught by Mr. Si, I was locked up here. I didn't contact Ruan Qing. He might think I was eliminated."
"Tower? You went in?" Shi Qiu said in astonishment, "What's inside? Is there the treasure ma?"
"I can tell you, but before that, don't you explain what happened in the copy first ma?"
Shi Qiu sighed, thinking that this was not something that needed to be concealed, so he explained clearly they found a secret in the painting, wanted to take the painting but failed, finally the painting disappearing was discovered, and he was blamed.
Of course, the elimination of the female player was also mentioned, indicating that there was no one else suspected of framing him except Ruan Qing.
"No one else? Isn't there someone else a." Huang Pi said, "Isn't there Hei among the enemies ma?"
Shi Qiu: "The player who went to the NPC camp? Why would he do that?"
"To put you in jail. From now on, his goal has been achieved." Huang Pi replied.
Shi Qiu was silent. He didn't list Hei as a suspect at the beginning. He felt that he didn't need to take the painting. Hei didn't rely on finding treasures to pass the level. Now think about it, if the purpose is just to frame him, it is not impossible.
"Even if Hei is included, the possibility that Ruan Qing framed me is 50%." Shi Qiu said unhappily, "You are just as untrustworthy as you are in the same group as him."
"Then do you still want to listen to my discovery in the tower ma?"
"Listen." Shi Qiu answered in seconds, "I will judge whether it is true or false."
Huang Pi smiled secretly in his heart: "Okay, I'll tell you." He didn't add his own subjective guesses and told Shi Qiu what he saw, but he didn't say that Mr. Si showed up and accidentally exposed his identity.
That was Huang Pi's trump card. He had to be careful that the fruit would be picked by someone first.
"Nothing I said was false." He just concealed the last part.
After thinking for a moment, Shi Qiu guessed: "So one of the three brothers in the photo is Mr. Si's ancestor, and the other is Lady Maud's ancestor. Mr. Si and Lady Maud are cousins?"
Huang Pi: ...
Look, he knew he was not the only one thinking this way.
This is conventional thinking!
Who would have thought that Mr. Si would stab himself in the face, and Lady Maud is a women clothing boss ne.
"So there is no treasure in there?"
"I don't know. I haven't been to the lower floors." Huang Pi said, "I only went to the top floor."
"It's really troublesome a. I still want to send the message out. There is no way to do it in this situation." Huang Pi kept struggling on the ground. His hands were tied very tightly. He twisted for a long time but couldn't get the chain to break free even a little.
"Do you have a card ma?" Huang Pi asked.
Shi Qiu: "What card? Escape card? No, I'm a newbie a."
"What about contact card ne?"
Shi Qiu: "There is a contact card, which can send information to a designated target. What's wrong? The message card has a limited number of words, and the message you told me is too much."
"No, just tell them the location of the room." Huang Pi said, "I don't think you and I have a chance to be released. If we have that time, we might as well just break out of prison."
Shi Qiu: "Huh?"
Huang Pi: "I know the location of this room, you send the location. Can you send it ma?"
"Of course. Send it, it's better to have one more way out than one less." If Mr. Si really doesn't plan to let him out, let them take him away.
***
Ruan Qing destroyed the two paintings. The important clues can only be mastered in his own hands. He thinks this is the safest way.
Continue to use the stealth card to leave his room and walk towards Lady Maud's bedroom. He doesn't know the specific room where this NPC lives, but only knows the general direction. There will always be results if he touches them one by one.
It was a good idea, but the result was not as smooth as expected. Ruan Qing had walked along the corridor for ten minutes. It usually took only two minutes to reach the corner, but this time it was unexpectedly far away.
Is it a trap in the game copy?
Or no matter who wants to go to Lady Maud's residence, they will encounter such a ghost hitting wall situation?
Ghost hitting wall?
He remember there is a card in player's side that has a similar effect to ghost hitting wall ba. However, that card is used to trap NPCs. Because the target can be limited to any character, it doesn't matter if the person who acts on it is a player.
Hei? Third Sister? Or Hong Feng?
He hasn't seen the lonely female player for a long time. She should have been eliminated. She attacked Hei, and he used the rebound card on Hei, then she fell into his trap.
The fact that the female player was eliminated may have been seen by other players. No wonder they would settle accounts with him. After the female player was eliminated, there were only a few players left. It was really easy to guess who stole the paintings.
It was a little tricky. Ruan Qing pinched his chin and thought, it's not polite to not return the favor, so he might as well give all the other players a big gift. Ruan Qing opened his card pack, sifted through it from top to bottom, and took out several cards.
Second floor.
Sanmei and Hongfeng patrolled in the corridor, opening a room door from time to time. While looking for people openly, they also searched the entire castle again to see where the treasure might be hidden.
"Why don't we split up, you go upstairs, I'll go downstairs." Third Sister said to Hong Feng.
Hong Feng: "Do you want to look in the west wing ma?"
The west wing is Lady Maud's residence. Players have always been prohibited from walking around there at will. Every time they were seen, they will be blasted back.
Third Sister: "Look for it at the end, use invisibility." Although she thinks it is most likely that Ruan Qing ran to the west wing.
"What if Ruan Qing is invisible?" Hong Feng said worriedly.
Third Sister: "The invisibility card has a time limit, which is about the same as the duration of the [Oops, I hit the wall] card you used. Either he stays invisible or we wait for the time to stop trapping him then expose him. In any case, we can catch him."
Hong Feng nodded and separated from Third Sister on the second floor. As a result, he only took a few steps and heard a voice in his ear: [Help, underground floor.]
The voice sounded very much like Shi Qiu, like a distress message sent by some kind of card. Hong Feng paused for a moment and decided to inform Third Sister after thinking for a moment. He and Third Sister had been separated for a short time and should be able to catch up soon...
Hong Feng stood blankly in the corridor on the second floor. The figure of Third Sister could no longer be seen here.
Did she go to the first floor? Let's go to the first floor first. If can't find her... he can go to the underground floor by himself.
During the days he lived in the castle, he never saw the existence of an underground floor, but the prisons were all in hidden places, so it shouldn't be wrong.
On the other side, Third Sister had come to the courtyard. She had originally planned to search the second and first floors, but suddenly saw a figure flashing in front of her. The figure looked very much like Ruan Qing. Sanmei immediately chased after him, but every time she chased after him, the figure would just disappear from the corner. In order not to lose him, Third Sister had to speed up her pace to chase him.
Then she chased after him to the courtyard, in front of her was a towering tower.
She did not see Ruan Qing.
Did she see it wrong? No, this is impossible. Either Ruan Qing escaped in some way, or she fell into someone else's trap.
Carefully observing the surroundings, she found nothing. Third Sister retreated cautiously, and then she heard Shi Qiu's voice in her ear: [Treasure, down the tower.]
This is the sound of communication card. Shi Qiu used the card to send a message to Third Sister remotely before, but because of the word limit, it was not very useful in many aspects. The communication card is a consumption card. No matter how difficult it is to use, it is an important prop. Third Sister once told Shi Qiu not to use it easily unless it is particularly important.
Given the current situation, if it is to tell her where the treasure is, it is indeed worth using it once.
Although she didn't understand why Shi Qiu knew the location of the treasure as soon as he was captured.
Trap?
No, it doesn't seem like it. Only she and Shi Qiu knew about the existence of the communication card. Others would not guess it by coincidence and mislead her.
Tower, right? It's worth a try.
In the west building, Bai Leshui put down the card [Devil's Whisper] and said, "It would be great if it goes well."
"It will go well." Rong Zheng stood outside the window and watched every move of Third Sister. "She believed it."
Bai Leshui walked to the bed and took a look: "Well, she actually believed it."
Although the prerequisite that the other party's partner lost his freedom has been met, if Shi Qiu did not hold the communication card in his hand, the effect of [Devil's Whisper] disguised as a communication voice would be greatly reduced. Even if there is a chance to deceive the other party to believe it, there is a possibility of failure.
It's great to be able to deceive successfully.
Inside the rooftop prison.
Shi Qiu lay on his side on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.
Huang Pi in the next cell asked, "What message did you send?"
"I sent a message to Third Sister saying 'I'm on the rooftop'." Shi Qiu replied, "Whether to come and save me and when to save me is up to Third Sister to decide."
Huang Pi nodded, then asked, "Did you use the anti-interference card?"
"Ah?" Shi Qiu made a puzzled sound.
Huang Pi raised his eyebrows, "There is an enemy player in the game. The opponent may have a card with interference effects, so before using the message card, you should first protect yourself, don't you know ma?"
Shi Qiu smiled, "I don't have this experience, there sould be no problem ba."
Huang Pi sighed and didn't want to say anything more.
No problem?
We can only hope that Hei is a novice and won't use the interference card at the first moment, otherwise it will be a big problem.
If the interference card is successful, the message sent by Huang Pi will not only face the situation of sending to the wrong person, but even the content sent out may be wrong.
At this time, all he could do was pray for God's blessing.
Finally, in the utility room on the first floor, Hei was holding the few cards in his hand, worrying about who to fight and which card to use.
He really had no experience in fighting against players with cards.
The author has something to say:
Huang Pi: Ruan Qing, you pited me.
Ruan Qing who used the interference card on Shi Qiu: I pited you, really ma? So happy~
Huang Pi:.....
