Chapter 735: Chapter 735: The Anxious Person at Tomorrow’s Inn
Zhu Shu’s mind was turning quickly, immediately understood Bai Youwei’s thought, and mused: “A’s target is B, B’s target is C, C’s target is A.”
In this cycle, assuming we are C, our mission is to catch the murderer A, but the real enemy is B that aims to exterminate us all…”
Bai Youwei nodded, saying: “Think about it, it’s a game of 15 people, 5 people in each group, who is in a favorable situation now?”
Zhu Shu gave it some thought, her expression gradually became grave: “…it’s Team B, because they have written off four of us, as long as they out one more person, Team B will win!”
“Exactly.” Bai Youwei said, “Our attention has been drawn to Group A, but in fact, no matter how cruel Team A is, they can only kill one person a day. On the other hand, there seems to be no limit to the number of people Team B can eliminate.”
Zhu Shu turned pale: “Team A has killed two people, Team B has done four, we… we haven’t been able to eliminate anyone from Team A so far.”
“Interesting~” Bai Youwei smiled, “So this is a race. Whoever completes their elimination task first, wins first.”
Zhu Shu looked worried: “What do we do? I’m the only one left on Brother Yan’s side, if they eliminate another one, we’ll lose…”
“Don’t worry, we won’t lose.” Bai Youwei smiled confidently, “Although Team B is clever, you must not forget that Team B only starts acting once there’s a death in the hotel.”
If they wanted to frame Zhu Shu, there had to be a new victim in the hostel.
Realizing this, Zhu Shu felt somewhat at ease.
“Let’s go and check it out.” Bai Youwei casually looked toward the doorway, “The next death notice should have appeared by now.”
…
This time, the death notice was posted in the restaurant.
A white paper, on which it was written with a pencil:
[?-????-???-????-????-??-??????]
The detective, too, saw it and was furious: “These villains! So brazen! Planning to commit further crimes! I will interrogate every person!”
Having said that, he strode towards the staircase to call for everyone.
Bai Youwei took out her pen and paper again and silently copied the words down.
After finishing, she held the piece of paper and pondered for a while, for some reason, an amused smile crossed her lips.
Zhu Shu asked: “Can you understand it?”
“Yes~” Bai Youwei turned around, lightly patted Zhu Shu’s shoulder, a smile on her face, and whispered in her ear, “Something interesting will happen soon, wait and see~”
“…Interesting?” Zhu Shu was confused, “Will it be dangerous?”
Bai Youwei narrowed her eyes: “Of course, but the ones in danger won’t be us, but… them.”
People were being called downstairs by the Detective one by one.
Bai Youwei saw Robert.
“Zhu Shu, do you know that someone else is also anxious, not just you. This person is more anxious than you… because he was originally in control, but now he is losing the advantage, if he doesn’t do something, he really is going to lose…”
Zhu Shu slightly frowned, and also looked towards the approaching Robert.
Yes…
Robert indeed had the advantage. He could kill these guests unnoticed, but unfortunately, someone else was planting evidence more efficiently, calculating more accurately, the gap between the two sides was widening——
If it’s delineated with letters and scores, it goes like this:
Team A Scored 2;
Team B Scored 4;
Team C Scored 0.
If Team A continues in their current way, and kills another person, their score becomes 3, then Team B will subsequently eliminate another person, score 5, and thus win.
So, if Team A wants to compete to the end, they must reconsider their strategy.
