chapter 37
It seems to be a messenger of hell?
What's the meaning?
Lin You looked at this guy who seemed to be a little stupid, as if he wasn't sure if he was the messenger of hell?
The failure of the skeleton to attack him is equivalent to proving that he did not lie.
Of course, there is another possibility.
That is, when the lights in the theater are turned on, will it mean that the "killing journey" of skeletons will end? So even if you lie in front of skeletons, skeletons will not kill people?
If Lin You wants to prove this, he must lie in front of the skeleton, otherwise he will have no way to know whether others are lying.
And he is not a fool, so he can't foolishly use his life to test it, otherwise a mistake would be a real attempt to commit suicide.
He was wary of the man who was so nervous that he was a little dazed and seemed to be unthreatening, and said calmly: "Our identity is either a reader or a messenger of hell. What does it mean to say you seem to be a messenger of hell?"
"I...I don't know either."
The man said in an extremely nervous tone: "Because my mission is different from yours..."
"What mission?"
Lin You stared at the other party. It seemed that this guy should be an old reader. Because he failed to find the clues to trigger the strange journey in the last strange journey, he was forced to increase the difficulty and forcibly participate in this strange journey.
In this way, the task naturally cannot be the same as them!
The man replied timidly: "My mission is to find scissors in the No. 5 cinema and hand them to the skeleton. Then, using the skeleton, kill all the readers who left the cinema..."
Speaking of this, he looked at Lin You uneasy, as if he had learned about the skeleton's killing conditions, or because Lin You looked gentle, he came to him truthfully.
Then he hurriedly explained: "But I didn't kill anyone! Really! I just found the scissors and handed them to the skeleton, and then hid, and I didn't know anything else!"
Lin You said with a gloomy face: "If you hand over the scissors to the skeleton, then you are equivalent to being an accomplice of the skeleton! The mission clearly states that we have a hell messenger, and your mission is different from ours, so there is no doubt that you are the hell messenger!"
"No...not that!"
The man took two steps back in panic and said hurriedly: "I had no choice! Because I couldn't find the triggering location for this weird journey, they increased the difficulty of my survival in the weird journey in order to punish me!
They are a group of perverts! Every weird journey is playing with word games and provoking people to doubt each other and kill each other!"
He was deeply hurt by it, and the more he spoke, he became more angry and excited: "There is no undercover in the imprisoned dormitory! The countdown bomb will not explode at all! There is no murderer in the death subway! Whoever is bewitched and killed will become a murderer! The latter of the rules is a pervert who plays with people's hearts!
These strange journeys are not dangerous at all, but because everyone is in danger and the ghost in his heart is at work, people die and become so terrible!
In fact, as long as everyone does not leave the cinema and finishes the movie well, this strange journey can be spent safely and no one will die!”
Listening to the other party's indignant words, Lin You actually felt particularly empathetic. But when he thought that this was a reader who had experienced at least three strange journeys, he had to be more vigilant, even if the other party said it was his own voice.
Knowing people but not your heart...
Lin You now has a very profound understanding of this sentence. Some people are righteous and stern, but in fact they are sloppy.
Some people, on the surface, criticized the manipulator behind the strange journey with indignation, but in fact, after enjoying the tempting reward, they were reluctant to kneel down and lick the manipulator behind the scenes and asked to increase the rewards.
Therefore, it was not Lin You who speculated on others with malicious intentions, but people who had experienced many strange journeys. In his opinion, none of them was good or bad, and none could withstand trust.
Besides, the other party was so indignant and hated Weird Journey so much, why did he have to participate one after another?
Another question is that he did not say this in front of everyone at the beginning?
Human hearts are unpredictable!
These days, people and ghosts are acting!
Lin You interrupted, "So, are you saying so much to reduce my vigilance and find a perfect opportunity to kill me?"
The other party was stunned and shook his head quickly and said, "You misunderstood. I said this not to lower your vigilance, but to let you know that killing cannot solve the problem!
I have never killed anyone on a weird journey, but haven’t I lived to the end yet? So that’s what I want to express!”
After talking, the skeleton completely walked out of the theater.
Lin You was a little confused. The skeleton killed people because people lie in front of her. So the skeleton did not respond, which means that this guy should not lie.
But Lin You still feels that there are many doubts about this guy and cannot be easily believed.
At this moment, the revolving lantern video played on the screen seemed to be about to end, and the heroine's memories were intermittent and flashbacks to a very young age.
Lin You looked at the man's nervous and vigilant expression and thought to himself whether he was suspicious?
Maybe he, like me, did not participate in the weird journey for mission rewards? Instead, he wanted to find excitement and explore the secrets behind the strange journey?
So, I may really judge a gentleman by the heart of a villain?
So should I have a gamble and kill this guy next?
Although the mission is indeed the same as a text game, if he is really a messenger of hell, for safety reasons, he still has to find a way to kill him, otherwise I will be unable to feel at ease with such a hidden danger!
While Lin You was confused, he thought of an important detail.
The mission says to find out the Hell Messenger and destroy it.
So is killing the other party considered annihilation?
If it doesn't count, will something happen if you kill someone?
This word game is simply a headache!
He questioned: "You are indeed right! If everyone sat here and watched this revolving lantern video, maybe so many people wouldn't have died!
So I'm curious, why don't you tell the truth at the beginning?"
The man replied: "Because I have to find scissors in front of the skeleton, otherwise I will be killed by the skeleton! And when I find the scissors, everything changes! Before the skeleton starts killing people, others have already started killing people!"
Lin You asked, "To be honest, did you turn on the switch?"
The man replied: "It's not me!"
Lin You was half-believing and half-doubting.
If this guy is telling the truth, then there should be a survivor in addition to them now.
"Let's go, since it's not you, it means there is still a survivor! If you find him, you may find new discoveries!"
"Um."
The man responded and walked out of the cinema alertly. He always kept a safe distance from Lin You, which could be said to be extremely cautious.
Lin You looked at his nervous and uneasy look and always felt something was wrong.
He suddenly thought of a classic quote from Sherlock Holmesri
"If all possibilities are invalid, the possible truth is retained in something that seems inconspicuous."
At the same time, he also thought of another classic quote
"When you rule out all other possibilities and there is one left, no matter how impossible it is, that's the truth!"
