Blood Candle Keep Disciple

Chapter 13 Confessions of the Dead
Epirens was no novice, nor was it the first time he had experienced similar transcendental feelings, having explored numerous ancient tombs.In fact, after knowing the prizes of the winner of the game, he was already mentally prepared to be exposed to the extraordinary and weird in the game.

Therefore, the old detective did not focus on the answer to the mysterious experience that he knew was impossible to obtain at the first time, but focused on the clues contained in the notebook itself...

"personally!"

Heck, I was tricked by that girl.

Although the information in the baron's notes is eloquent, it is not difficult to infer from it that the old detective is most worried about the situation - the character who needs to kill the [victim] in the game is the [Baron] himself.

To make matters worse, considering the difficulty of obtaining intelligence, Epirens felt that he had little time left.

Leaving the notes on the bed, the old detective rushed to the master bedroom door with all his strength, and there was no more evenly divided rhythm between his footsteps and the cane hitting the ground when he came in.

Taking out the key in a bit of a hurry, Epirens shoved the big, cumbersome guy into the keyhole, but suddenly felt a pliable resistance in the keyhole to stop his attempt.The key was only one third of the way in.

He pulled out the key in astonishment, and found a lot of whitish glue on it.They were soft and sticky, with a faint pungent smell and a hint of warmth.

Epirenston's eyes were red, and with the unusual sharpness of the key's tip, he began to stab the keyhole desperately.

The chemical material poured into the keyhole has not completely dried, and it has indeed been pierced by the sharp key head.But it is no longer possible to want the key teeth to activate the tabs that have been filled with solidification.

"Do not!!!"

Roaring wildly, he began to slam the door with his stick.Never in the life of a seasoned adventurer and a well-known detective had Epirens been so impatient and frenetic.At this time, he doesn't look like a prudent old man who is exploring the mysteries of life, but more like a madman who will do anything for his faith.

At this moment, this man is more like a murderer who has been dormant for a hundred years, compared to the experienced Epirens.

However, despairingly, after all the madness and strength in his body were vented, Epirens found that the only thing he had destroyed was the handle used to turn the door.

The baron's bedroom door revealed solid metal wrapped in prefabricated panels as the sawdust flew by.

The old detective clutched his chest tightly as if he had lost all his strength and fell to the ground. He twitched weakly, knowing that he had missed victory.Even if he broke through the door at this moment, he probably wouldn't have time to find and "kill" the girl outside.

Unfortunately, the truth is often not what people expect.Especially when it involves the existence of extraordinary power.

At the same time, outside the baron's bedroom door, Zhen Cheng, who was judged by the old detective to have been hiding, was holding the doorknob that was loose due to the internal damage with his eyes straight.

The small pot containing the solution fell to the ground, and the viscous spilled inside solidified with the carpet, and it also had some unique characteristics of human body structure, which looked extremely disgusting.

She did not leave, or could not leave.

……

A moment ago, quietly following Epirens' footsteps, Zhen Cheng quietly poured the solvent prepared in front of the other party into the keyhole.She didn't expect to completely eliminate the old detective like this, because there is a high probability that the master bedroom has an exit connecting to the secret room.

But she believes that under the most basic fair competition, every character other than herself, possibly including herself, should have a potential time limit for activities, so as to balance the advantages and disadvantages of entering the arena.

That is to say, as long as the old detective is trapped until the time when the next No. [-] [maid] enters the venue, this stage is likely to be passed.

After finishing this step, Zhen Cheng was relieved for a long time.The real murderer has been brought under control, and she believes that all the remaining outstanding detectives have the ability to deduce that they are not the real murderer with their own skills without intervention.

This way, she can achieve the "live until the end of the game" victory condition even if she doesn't do anything else.In the meantime, if you can cleverly cast doubts and make the rest of the players suspect other characters other than [Baron], it will be an undisputed perfect victory.

With this in mind, Zhen Cheng tried to twist the doorknob slightly to confirm that the solvent he poured in had destroyed the door lock structure.Unexpectedly, the moment he twisted the doorknob, Epirens inside the door was frantically flipping through the notes hidden in the pillow with blisters in his eyes.

So, in Zhen Cheng's perspective, she twisted the doorknob without any hindrance.

The room was full of luxurious furniture, but there was no sign of the old detective at all.A notebook was spread out on the silk quilt, with a quill reclining beside it.

The left page of the note was soaked with blood, the blood that had just shed and had not dried up.

At the same time, Zhen Cheng heard light footsteps coming from the stairs in the hall behind him.

"Detective Epirens has found the exit of the secret room and went around behind me?!" This was Zhen Cheng's first reaction, but then she realized that was not the case.

First of all, the light footsteps were very different from the syncopated rhythm of the old detective walking on crutches.

Secondly, after a moment of shock, she found that the clothes she was wearing on her arm holding the doorknob changed somehow.

It was no longer the Hanfu that she liked on weekdays, but a sleeve of a kimono stained with blood that had not dried up, with a cherry blossom pattern hanging on it.

Except for the [Hidden Space] incident that just happened, which caused her to rush to seek self-protection, Zhen Cheng did not have the rich personal experience of the extraordinary experience that the Epirean detective had when he entered and exited the ancient tombs.But her background makes her theoretically no stranger to this sort of thing.

So she didn't panic trying to "break" the dream, or just let it go because she knew it was fake.

Instead, she almost instinctively wanted to take advantage of the situation to hide in the master bedroom to avoid the trailing footsteps.If you are involved in a murder a hundred years ago because of the weirdness induced by this game, it means that you must face a situation that has been locked in by history as a mortal situation to survive.

On the other hand, if it was only because of the third player who came later, the footsteps of Detective Navis who played the role of [maid] caused some hallucinations, which would be the best situation for her.

With a thought, Zhen Cheng stepped into the master bedroom, and even when he saw the room that was empty just a moment ago, a cane came head-on.

Not to mention that she had never signed up for a fighting class at school. At this moment, Zhen Cheng felt that even if he was an extraordinary person in the field of speed, it was impossible for him to react to this blow that flew out of thin air without any warning.

It's just that the expected severe pain and dizziness didn't come.The cane directly penetrated her head, as if receiving invisible resistance, but stopped in the mid-air where the door was originally open at this moment.

Then, she vaguely saw an image of a blurred old man beating herself frantically with a cane.The image was fleeting, and the fact that she was unharmed made her realize that it was just a false illusion.

Unfortunately, after being in a trance for a moment, when Zhen Cheng came back to his senses, he suddenly found that the footsteps he wanted to hide and avoid had come behind him at some point.

"Ha, found you, miss."
