    Ji Ning looked at the countdown. There were clearly 19 hours left, but Number 5 submitted the answer in such a hurry.

    According to Xing Ye, the most likely answer for No. 5 is the left-handed bodyguard. Now it seems that the answer for No. 5 is wrong. The murderer is not the person who appears on the surface.

    “That’s right!” Ji Ning remembered what Xing Ye once told her, “The clue is – [seeing the truth through the fog], which actually means that the superficial answer is just ‘fog’, and the real murderer is someone else. Is that what you mean?”

    “You are right.” Xing Ye confirmed Ji Ning’s words, “No. 5 did not get the hint, nor did he have the identity to form a team, so he had no way of knowing this seemingly profound but actually very important hint. His identity as a bodyguard may have allowed him to get a lot of key information, but this information pointed to the wrong answer. That’s why he answered so confidently in advance, hoping to get the highest score reward.”

    After listening to Xing Ye’s explanation, Ji Ning’s eyes dimmed, and she lowered her head, a little unable to accept that a companion was just gone.

    She waited quietly for a long time without hearing anything unusual. She asked Xing Ye in a low voice: “How did the person who answered the question wrong get wiped out?”

    She’s voice was trembling, and when Xing Ye heard it, an emotion called “heartache” appeared in her heart for the first time in a long time.He simply told Ji Ning: “I don’t know. I can only see the expression of the person being erased, but can’t hear the sound, and then the person will slowly disappear. Ji Ning, promise me you will never look at it.”

    Ji Ning’s heart stopped for a moment, then she clenched her hands and replied: “Okay.”

    Xing Ye didn’t know what to say to comfort the girl, so he could only use his windbreaker to hold Ji Ning’s hand from an angle where others couldn’t see.

    “Although No. 5 gave the wrong answer, the stab wound on the deceased was indeed caused by the left-handed bodyguard named Wu Hao, right?” Ji Ning turned her grief and anger into strength and quickly cheered up.

    Xing Ye was surprised at how quickly she adjusted her mentality and affirmed: “Yes, although some clues may not necessarily be the answer, they must be the only clues, otherwise it would be too difficult.”

    Ji Ning calmed down and analyzed carefully: “There is a fatal wound on the back of the deceased’s head. If the murderer is not Wu Hao, then it means that Hui Shao was already dead before the stab wound. The person who caused the fatal wound is the ‘murderer’. Brother Xing Ye, have you carefully looked at the wound on the back of the head to see what it might have been caused by?”

    Xing Ye nodded: “I looked at it, and it felt like it was suddenly penetrated by some sharp foreign object, which damaged the brain tissue. There is a skull behind the head, and without a certain amount of force, it cannot cause fatal injuries.”

    A new puzzle appeared, and Ji Ning sighed softly.

    Xing Ye stroked the back of her hand with his thumb: “According to my experience, this is probably an accidental injury. Apart from the fatal wound and the knife wound, there are no other traces of fighting. First of all, even for a man, it is difficult to hit the back of the head protected by the skull. Secondly, if you deliberately kill people, there are too many better places than the back of the head, such as the throat, heart, and temple. Therefore, the ‘violent weapon’ that caused this injury to the back of the head is probably caused by the environment.”

    “Due to the environment?” Ji Ning frowned slightly, “Does it mean it’s not a murderous weapon like a dagger?”

    Knowing that the fatal injury was not directly man-made, Ji Ning had a strong intuition that Yang Yi might be the final answer.

    But without evidence, Ji Ning couldn’t afford to fight with intuition.She and Xing Ye still need more evidence to support the answer to ensure that both of them can survive.

    “Yes. So I immediately went to find out if there was any place on the ship that could cause such an injury. Only then can I advance the next clue.” Xing Ye was very decisive. Instead of guessing, it was better to seek confirmation.

    Ji Ning nodded: “Then I’ll go too. It’s faster for two of us to find him. I’ll go to the negative floor to look for you, and brother Xing Ye, you can look for him on the first and second floors. This is more reasonable.”

    “Okay, be careful.” Xing Ye gave Ji Ning a deep look.

    In this game world that eats people without blinking an eye, every glance may be the last.

    Webcast barrage:

    “What a touching group!”

    “I am a fan of No. 6 Ji Ning, she is very suitable to survive here.”

    “What is the answer? After seeing so many players’ perspectives, I feel that everyone’s suspicions are reasonable.”

    “Fortunately, we have survived. Even if we are watching the fun now, we still can’t forget the fear of being dominated by the copy.”

    “I think Ji Ning and Xing Ye can definitely answer it correctly.”

    “Agree.”
