Chapter 519 Reasoning
Chen Mu looked at the players and expressed his judgment:
"According to the forensic doctor's judgment, the female corpse died last night. So the time when the female corpse's skin was torn off should be at night.
Apparently, face eaters come out at night.
If you want to eat your face, you must appear in the mourning hall, because that is the place where corpses are buried and the corpses are placed in the mourning hall.
To sum up, night is a good opportunity for us to find the truth. Especially in the mourning hall at night, something will definitely happen here.
I suggest that we divide ourselves into groups tonight and squat around the mourning hall.
It just so happens that Old Man Wu lives in the mourning hall, so we can monitor both the body and Old Man Wu.
If we're lucky, we'll find someone to eat face tonight. "
Chen Mu's words were clear and logical.
This is the best next step to take based on the current clues.
The woman in trousers beside her seemed a little scared, and she couldn't help but ask:
"In the middle of the night, I was hiding next to the mourning hall during a strange mission. There is obviously something wrong with the old man Wu, and the face-eating person must be very scary.
Are we committing suicide by doing this? "
The female forensic doctor also nodded, and she was equally unsure.
Seeing the players' scared looks, Chen Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.
"You are all wrong. If I told you that we should go to the mourning hall to keep vigil on the first night, would you feel more desperate?"
Several players present nodded.
Everyone was a little scared on the second night, let alone the unfamiliar place on the first night. Who dared to go to the mourning hall?
It is comparable to the classic death plot in horror movies.
Chen Mu said:
"I finally figured it out just now. In fact, it is the safest to go to the mourning hall on the first night!
Do you still remember that there is a fluke level in mission completion?
As long as you [survive for one day], you can reach the lucky level.
There is also a general level, which requires [leaving the crematorium alive].
If you die midway, there will be no mission completion.
Don't you think it's a little strange?
If I don't leave the crematorium alive, it means I'm dead and won't get any reward.
If I leave the crematorium alive, it means that I can at least get the [General] reward.
From this point of view, the [lucky] reward is completely useless.
The dead can't get it, the living don't need it.
As we all know, there is very little nonsense in weird missions. Especially in terms of task completion, it is even more impossible to write casually.
Putting a completely useless [lucky] reward is an obvious anomaly.
It wasn’t until just now that I realized that this [lucky] reward was actually an important reminder!
It reminds us that there is a way to pass the level on the first day. It means that the first night is an important opportunity!
We missed this opportunity. We slept on the first night and missed Christmas Eve.
This female corpse is our scapegoat. In the arrangement of the strange mission, she died for us on the first night.
I think if we don't act quickly, we'll be the ones lying here next. "
Every word Chen Mu said was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of the players.
They... missed the most important night!
In fact, it was the first time for Chen Mu to hide important reminders in mission rewards.
So much so that the experienced Chen Mu ignored this important clue.
It seems that the strange mission behind the trick door is even more bizarre and elusive.
Chen Mu is not stingy about sharing it with players, because Chen Mu found that the reasoning process is extremely important when it comes to final statistics on completion.
In other words, even if Chen Mu clears the level with them, as long as Chen Mu contributes the most and analyzes the most, then Chen Mu can get the highest ranking.
Last time Chen Mu got [Super God], Xiao Shihe and the couple only got [Medium], which is enough to explain the problem.
After Chen Mu finished speaking, several players were stunned for a moment.
Can you still play like this?
Can you read the mission prompts from the mission rewards?
The female forensic doctor glanced at Chen Mu, with a complicated meaning in her eyes.
Don't get me wrong, the female forensic doctor didn't fall in love with him after just one or two sentences. The main reason was that the female forensic doctor felt that Chen Mu was not simple.
This young man seems to have a deep background.
"So Ye Lang, what are you going to do?" the female forensic doctor asked.
Yelang, who is that?
Xiao Shi glanced at several players. Is there anyone named Yelang here?
Xiao Shi didn't realize until Boss Chen spoke. Boss Chen's pseudonym was Chen Yelang.
"According to what I just said, we must keep vigil at the mourning hall tonight."
Chen Mu said seriously.
Several other players also looked at Chen Mu seriously.
Through the analysis just now, Chen Mu has actually established his leadership position.
Everyone is here to do weird tasks, and completing weird tasks is the common goal of the players.
So in fact, cooperation between players is still greater than competition.
As long as Chen Mu acts as a leader and proposes plans and arrangements, as long as it does not harm the interests of a certain player, no one will stand up and object.
Just as Chen Mu was about to continue speaking, Old Man Wu's shouting suddenly came from outside the mourning hall.
"Come out and put the body in the mourning hall."
Old Man Wu shouted to the players.
Are there new bodies?
Chen Mu and his party walked towards the outside of the mourning hall and saw an ambulance parked in the courtyard of the crematorium.
Two medical staff were pushing a stretcher out of the ambulance.
Old Man Wu waved to the players, "This is a new corpse. It belongs to a homeless man. He died on the roadside and was not claimed, so he was sent here to be cremated and buried.
One body has been burned in the cremator today. You take the homeless man's body to the mourning hall and leave it there. We will burn it tomorrow. "
Chen Mu and others came to the stretcher. Chen Mu noticed that the two medical staff, including the driver, were all men.
It seems that outsiders know this crematorium very well, and women do not dare to enter easily. Even those who came to deliver the body were all men.
Chen Mu came to the stretcher and looked at the homeless man's body carefully.
This unlucky homeless man seemed to have died in a car accident. His entire lower body was hit, and blood vessels were exposed at the waist joint, which looked particularly scary.
However, the upper body of the homeless man is still well preserved. Especially the face, it still looks normal and the skin is still on the face.
Chen Mu and the female forensic doctor looked at each other. A corpse with the face still on would definitely become the target of someone who eats the face.
This corpse will be kept in the mourning hall tonight, which means that the face-eater will most likely appear in the mourning hall tonight!
The players are in the mourning hall, and the degree of danger is self-evident.
They missed Christmas Eve.
Tonight is destined to be a night of terror.
The players hurriedly carried the body to the mourning hall according to Old Man Wu's instructions.
After delivering the body, the three people in the ambulance got in, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
They ran away in such a hurry that they didn't even ask for a stretcher. It was obvious that in their eyes, this crematorium was an extremely unlucky place.
Watching the ambulance drive away, Old Man Wu didn't react at all. He was already used to it.
Soon, the body was placed in the middle of the mourning hall. Old Man Wu ordered the players to cover the body with a white cloth.
"Just stay here and don't run around or rummage around. I still have some work to do over there, so I'll take you to clean up later."
After Old Man Wu finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the crematorium.
After Old Man Wu left, the players gathered together again. They stood around the homeless man, ready to continue listening to Chen Mu's arrangements.
Chen Mu pointed at the white cloth and said, "Everyone should understand that if this trend continues, the crematorium will become increasingly dangerous.
If we don't act quickly, we will be wiped out sooner or later.
So, don't be optimistic, we can't delay any longer.
The face-eater will definitely show up tonight, so we have to keep watch.
It is definitely not possible to let one person keep watch the whole night. Firstly, if a person does not sleep at night, he will not be able to bear such a highly stressful environment.
Secondly, the risks are too concentrated: the night watchman is bound to encounter the face-eater, and once he does, he risks death.
So I suggest that we should form groups and take turns keeping watch.
There were four groups of two people, from 10 pm to 6 am the next day, a total of eight hours.
This way, the risk is evenly divided into four parts. If someone encounters a face-eater, it is purely a matter of luck.
If everyone has no objection, let's split into groups before Old Man Wu comes back."
After Chen Mu finished speaking, he looked around.
All the players present agreed with Chen Mu's proposal.
Even the girl with earrings who always confronted men did not raise any objection.
The next step was to group them. Chen Mu's suggestion of two people in a group was the most reasonable.
One person is too few, three people are too many.
Chen Mu looked at Xiao Shi and Tian Shihan, "Which of you two will come with me?"
There were three other women and one man present. The female forensic doctor was definitely with the woman in trousers, so only the woman with earrings and the man with watch were left.
If Xiao Shi is with Chen Mu, then Tian Shihan will either be alone or paired with someone else.
At this moment, the man with the watch came over and smiled at Chen Mu and said:
"Hey, are you guys still short of people? I think you three are short of one, how about taking me with you to form a team?"
The watch man said, then glanced at the earring woman and said, "Hey, buddy, please do me a favor. I really don't want to team up with that guy."
Seeing this, Chen Mu immediately nodded and said, "Okay, then let Xiao Shi go with you."
Seeing that she was alone, the earring girl immediately shouted in dissatisfaction:
"Are you guys bullying me? Why wouldn't anyone team up with me?"
However, in the face of the earring girl's dissatisfaction, no one was willing to pay attention to him.
She had just spoken rudely to Chen Mu, which had already offended Chen Mu. Naturally, it was impossible for Chen Mu to be in the same group with her.
Xiao Shi and Tian Shihan, who are with Chen Mu, naturally won't be with her either.
The female forensic doctor is a smart person. If she has to choose between the earring girl and Chen Mu, she will definitely stand on Chen Mu's side.
As a result, the girl with earrings naturally lost the support of the two female forensic doctors.
The only one left was the man with the watch, but unfortunately, at the very beginning, the woman with earrings punched the man with the watch hard.
It is normal to be isolated if you offend everyone.
Chen Mu has always been very careful about this. Even in strange missions, he would not offend all players unless it was necessary.
After all, strange missions are still teamwork.
Find as many allies as possible. If you encounter someone you don't like, just ignore them. The worst option is to create enemies.
Once there is an enemy, Chen Mu will definitely eliminate him immediately.
This is Chen Mu's way of survival.
It's a shame that the Earring Girl, for some reason, even after entering the Ghost Gate, still hasn't figured it out. When she first made an enemy, Chen Mu labeled her "brainless."
It’s better to stay away from them. I’m not afraid of god-like opponents, but I’m afraid of pig-like teammates.
After the groups are determined, the next step is each group’s night watch time.
The eight-hour vigil is divided into four sections.
10 o'clock-0 o'clock!
0 o'clock-2 o'clock!
2 o'clock-4 o'clock!
4 o'clock-6 o'clock!
As we all know, the closer it gets to the early morning, the more dangerous it is. The second and third hours are the most dangerous.
The girl with earrings finally got scared, and she was the first to speak:
"I'm alone, and I'm the most dangerous! So I should be allowed to choose the beginning and the end. Either give me the first paragraph, or give me the fourth paragraph."
Chen Mu shook his head at this unreasonable request and said, "Let's draw lots to decide."
The earring girl looked at Xiao Shi again, and Xiao Shi also shook his head, "I followed Boss Chen."
After being rejected repeatedly, the girl with earrings whispered, “I knew you men were unreliable. Men can never empathize with women.
When they have an advantage, they rush forward, but when they encounter difficulties, they become cowards."
The girl with earrings looked at the female forensic doctor and said, "Sister, how about..."
Before she could finish her words, the female forensic doctor waved her hand and directly refused.
No one will target her because of her gender, and no one will help her because of her gender.
Because this is a strange mission, there is no distinction between men and women, only...
The dead and the living!
The woman with the earrings looked angry, but also disappointed. She glared at the female medical examiner and said nothing more.
Chen Mu took out four paper money for the dead.
Don’t ask why there are ghost money. As a boss, isn’t it normal to carry ghost money with you?
Chen Mu folded four pieces of paper money into four shapes and placed them in a cup he picked up.
"Four groups stand in four directions. After shaking the cup, four paper money drops to the ground. Each paper money represents a time period. The group it's closest to will keep vigil for that group."
Chen Mu said four origami, representing time.
The cup shook, and four pieces of origami fell out one after another, landing at the feet of each group.
Small loss, first time period.
Earring Woman, second paragraph.
Chen Mu, third paragraph.
Female Forensic Doctor, paragraph 4.
When she saw that she was in the second section, the girl with earrings looked like she was about to cry.
The second part is in the early morning hours, the scariest time in ghost stories!
She looked around, and the other players all turned their heads away; no one wanted to swap with her.
"The night watch shift is handed over by knocking on the door. After the team finishes the night watch, they return to the dormitory and knock on the door of the next group to take over."
Chen Mu finished explaining all the rules. His time period was not too good, but it was not a big problem for Chen Mu.
It's even a rare opportunity!
Anyone who finds someone eating their face will be on guard tonight.
