after falling asleep

Chapter 867 38. Happy Birthday to Me (reach out

"If I'm an inner ghost, let Wangwen Wenqiu become a rotten ass of a hermaphrodite!"

The upright and honest gentleman Mu Su snorted coldly.

"Ok?"

Wangwen Wenqie, who was squatting in front of the magic circle, raised his head in confusion, pointing to the traces around the magic circle: "Look at these footprints..."

Qianye raised the oil lamp and approached the magic circle, and the rough sand and dust appeared regular and extended imprints.

"Footprints...and not ours...?"

"Obviously not." Wangwen Wenqie stretched out his hand to measure the size of the footprints.

Qianye looked at the two decomposed corpses in the corner: "The internal organs of those fish are gone, and the internal organs of the two of them have also been hollowed out... Maybe it or they are attracted by the internal organs."

"Heh, are you going to accuse me of original sin again? Come on..." Mu Su, squinting with a pipe in his mouth, opened his arms.

"It's true that Mu Su's suspicion cannot be cleared!"

The shout came from the crowd outside the door again.

"In fact, he has an alibi." Unexpectedly, Qianye defended Musu: "I left a small mark on Musu before going to bed last night, and it was still there when I woke up in the morning, so it's not Musu."

Musu turned his head to Qianye in disbelief: "You plot against me!"

"Just in case." Qianye smiled slightly.

"It's useless for me to be trembling and diligent..." Mu Su stumbled back, looking at the sky sadly: "Love and righteousness—worth a thousand gold—go to the mountain of swords! Go to the sea of ​​fire! So why not—"

Ignoring the self-pitying Musu, Qianye continued to ask Wangwen Wenqie about the details he found.

After checking the magic circle and the corpse, Qianye asked the players to enter the room one after another to try to identify the source of the traces, but unfortunately no one knew.

"We can copy it down..." Wangwen asked Qiemo to memorize the pattern of the magic circle, murmuring to himself.

"But it's better not to do that, right?"

"Well, there should be at least a quarter gap in the copied pattern." Wangwen Wenqie suddenly heard a slight rustling sound, following the sound, Musu pursed his lips and focused on drawing something on the paper.

"finished!"

"What are you writing?" Wangwen Wenqie suddenly had a strong ominous feeling in his heart.

"The imitation magic circle." Mu Su waved his mental retardation with a face of "quickly praise me".

Wangwenwen's eyes were tearing apart, and he wanted to get back the paper.A figure rushed to Musu's side faster, tore away the paper, and looked down.

"Tear it off!"

"No need..." Qianye said with a complicated expression.

Is it too late...

Wangwen Wenqie was overwhelmed, and took the paper from Qianye.

On the paper was drawn a crooked oval pattern that looked like a smiling face.

Looking carefully, squinting his eyes and blurring his vision, it is still difficult to find the commonality between this painting and the magic circle.

"Um……"

Looking at Musu with a proud face, he thought about it, maybe it's a good thing that the painting is ugly?
Wangwen Wenqie took out a charcoal pencil that was sharpened with charcoal last night, and copied the magic circle on the empty space of the paper.

Qianye asked the other players to continue to evacuate, at least not to block them all in the corridor.

Wang Wen Wen Qi described the sacrificial circle, Qian Ye looked for clues that might have been overlooked, Mu Su wandered around the room with a pipe in his mouth, squatting down from time to time to measure the footprints, or opening the corpse to check the wounds, making it look like the real thing.

Mu Su looked around the death scene, his black eyes gradually narrowed...

"Their faces were calm, consistent with the fact that they died in their sleep. The corpses had only anatomical wounds from the chest to the abdomen, which I believe was the immediate cause of their death. The footprints were flat and broad... What did you think of, Watson?"

"It has such big feet?" Tianmo replied.

"It's flippers. The distance between the footprints is very short, indicating that the intruder came from the sea. It may have discovered us because of our fishing or other factors, and sneaked into the Broken Mountain in the middle of the night, bypassing the guard posts and stacking the entrances and exits in some way... I thought of it , Is this why the stone piles in the cave passage were removed..."

"Tianmo, you take a few people who have contributed to the nightmare to go to the cave again. Sticky phlegm, catch up with the people who left and ask them to check around the cave entrance and the shore."

Tianmo and Niu Tan looked at each other in surprise, and quickly left the room.

When they left to collect clues, the analysis whispers that Wangwen Wenqie was also listening to carefully while describing continued to sound.

"The infiltrator climbed into the cave from the cliff side of the cave, dragged away the two sleeping people when they arrived at the auditorium, then returned the same way, went around the cave from the other side to the room where the players discarded the internal organs, and hollowed out the internal organs for sacrifice .”

"But it's a bit tricky to do so. Why didn't the infiltrator go straight through the auditorium to the room without alarming everyone?" Wangwen Wenqie temporarily stopped and copied.

The sketch has been completed, and only the details are left to be supplemented.

"I think it has something to do with the restrictions on the infiltrator. It's like it can unknowingly sacrifice more people or even all of us, but it only takes two."

"Is there anything special about these two people?" Wangwen Wenqie continued to draw the magic circle.

"No. None of them were on the fishing team yesterday. I have a wild guess..."

"What is it?" Peter Parker asked curiously.

"Equivalent exchange..."

Accompanied by whispers, the rest of the people in the room subconsciously looked at the sacrificial circle—the blood stains proved that a pool of internal organs had once accumulated there.

"We gutted the fish, and the divers got the same guts. It might be the weight, it might be the value."

"What a powerful analysis... You can't be a detective, are you?" Peter Parker couldn't help but exclaimed, "No wonder Qianye has somehow become our boss."

Qianye blushed slightly, shook his head slightly and said, "It's just connecting the existing clues together. Maybe the reasoning is all wrong."

"Humph……"

Next to him, Musu's nasal cavity was full of displeasure, still smoking his pipe, and continued to check the scene pretendingly.

Oh please, don’t you think it was Musu who said it?
"It's a pity that those two people didn't sleep in the game, otherwise at least we would know how it slipped in. It's not like we don't know the number of enemies and don't know the enemy's ability like now."

When the description of Wang Wen Wen Qi came to an end, Tianmo returned to the corridor and shook his head to his companions: "There is no clue..."

At the same time, the sticky phlegm with elastic tendons ran from the other end with joy.

"Milt was found at the entrance of the cave, and there is also mud on the coast!"

"Let's go. See and hear?" Qianye turned to the latter.

"The drawing is finished." Wangwen Wenqie folded up the paper and put the charcoal pen in his pocket.

"Wait, what about their corpses?" Tianmo pouted towards the two corpses in the corner.

The heads were lowered, the skin was gray, and the two corpses with hollowed out abdomens looked like two horror dolls.

"Stay here..." After thinking for a while, Qianye changed his mind and said, "Take it out, find the source of the infiltrators, maybe this place can continue to be used as a stronghold."

Taking the corpse of the unlucky egg, the players evacuated towards the entrance of the cave.

If the intruder came in from the entrance of the cave instead of the cave... then what is it that breaks the stones from the cave passage?
Walking quickly, Qianye, whose hair was blown by the breeze, thought silently.
