Chapter 15
Option 38.9 is 16.6%, option 11.1 is 33.3%, option [-] is [-]%, and option [-] is [-]%.

……

【Option [-]】

[The number of participants in this round has increased, a total of 13 people participated. 】

……

Zheng Zhuo looked at the ballot paper.

More than 12% of the people believed that there were more than [-] participants in this round.

Indeed, there is still the possibility that there is one person who has not been eliminated besides himself.

Then finding this person will be the key, Zheng Zhuo thought.

His progress is 27.8%.If there is a No.13 person, it means that his progress must be lower than his own.

Zheng Zhuo looked at the panel.

He now sees another use for voting: clearing his mind.

"(There will be a driver man and a dirty old man in the voting...it means that I subconsciously think they are the most suspicious, doesn't it?)"

When Zheng Zhuo didn't react, the voting options helped him pick out the two most suspicious people.

The driver man and the dirty old man.

On the first night, the male driver asked to be alone when he was traveling with others, and then disappeared.

On the other side is a dirty old man.

"There have been rats in the store for a long time..."

Zheng Zhuo was a little concerned about the words of the grocery store owner.

It would be very strange if the movement of the rats was really the dirty old man's stealing: he couldn't have started before he was there.

"……it is good."

Next, Zheng Zhuo intends to start with these two people and find the possible "No.13 people".

……

…………

………………

The next day.

Zheng Zhuo left the hotel early in the morning.He set off earlier than the previous two days.Because this time, he was going a little farther away.

Zheng Zhuo walked out of the town and headed northwest.After a short dirt road, he saw a fenced-in farm not far away.

"(The distance to come here is almost the same as going to Waterfall Spring...)"

Thinking about it, Zheng Zhuo rang the bell next to the gate of the farm.

He picked a very early time and the farm was still being prepared.After a burst of noisy footsteps, a couple opened the door.

"Ah, it's you."

The farmer and his wife recognized Zheng Zhuo, because Zheng Zhuo had also come here yesterday when he went door-to-door to inquire.

"Hello."

Zheng Zhuo nodded, expressing his intention.

This time, he was going to ask some questions that he didn't have time to ask last time.

The most critical question.

"That tall man who left on Monday, probably someone I know. I haven't seen him since that day. I'm worried about him... Can you tell me which direction he is going to find the car?"

Zheng Zhuo spoke words that he had considered for a long time.

He didn't have much confidence in this way of asking, however, the farmer and his wife really answered him.

"North, I think."

they said.

"Other than that, we don't really know."

……

north.

After getting the answer from the farmer and his wife, Zheng Zhuo went straight to the north.

car……

But no matter how he moved forward, he didn't see the car.

"(If four people come together, how can you tell whose car is its property? Is it the driver's?)"

Zheng Zhuo thought in his heart.However, it is more likely that there was no car in the first place.

He ended up with no results.Worse, after a certain point, he doesn't feel like he's moving forward.

The surrounding scenery will always look the same.Looking back, the distance to the farm hasn't changed much either.

"..."

This reminded him of the despair he felt when he was trapped in the cave.After a while, Zheng Zhuo turned around.

When Zheng Zhuo passed by the farm again, he saw the farmer was hoeing the ground with a rake, and several dogs were around him, circling non-stop.

Zheng Zhuo stood there and watched for a while.He found that the dogs were jumping up and down, catching mice that had jumped out of the ground.

"Are there a lot of mice here recently?"

Zheng Zhuo asked.

"Every time I get rid of rats, I don't feel much..."

The farmer replied without looking up.

"But it's noisy at night. No matter what they say, they have to make noise every few weeks."

mouse.

Zheng Zhuo captured this key word.Coincidentally, he was also going to ask this question in the next place.

……

This afternoon, Zheng Zhuo returned to the small town.He came to the grocery store.

The bearded shop owner was sitting opposite the counter. He was the one who told Zheng Zhuo during the interrogation the day before yesterday that "the shop has been plagued by rats for a long time."

After entering the store, Zheng Zhuo politely asked the opposite person, "Has the thief come again?"After getting a negative answer, he asked about the rat.

"It started a few years ago, and it's there!"

The store manager stroked his beard and said.

"Locals are plagued by rats. Especially the rats that make noise under the floorboards late at night."

"(As the ranch owner said...)"

"There are more rats, probably because the nearby underground cavity was blown out when the mine was closed!"

The store manager said with a laugh.

It means the abandoned mine tunnel near the underwater cave...

Zheng Zhuo thought.

Suddenly.

"...!"

Zheng Zhuo's face changed.

Because he saw his left side, the window of [Subconscious World] popped up.

Percentages are rising.rose to 35.1%.

In one sentence, it has increased by about 8%.

"Tell me more! Boss, what else?"

Zheng Zhuo approached the boss suddenly, and the boss took a few steps back in fright.

"Oh, oh...do outsiders care so much about the mine situation?"

"what?"

"On Monday, a young man with glasses kept asking me the same question."

Monday?A young man with glasses?

Zheng Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to his senses.

It's the man who broke into the hardware store on a Monday night!Wearing glasses, he looks weaker.

And the winner of the second night, I remember, was indeed...

"...[Wise Man]..."

Just listening to the name, it does give people the impression of wearing glasses.

The secret of this world... is hidden in the mine tunnel?Was it because the man made the most progress the next day because he knew about it?

"Did the young man with the glasses ask anything about the mines?"

"Well... I told him that there was originally a copper-iron mixed mine, and then gold was dug out... But after a while, several miners wanted to steal the gold, and a dispute arose. One of them blew up the mine with dynamite .After that, the mine is closed forever—"

The percentage rose to 39.7%.

The grocery store owner rolled his eyes and rubbed his hands.

"—That's what it says. But... I know a route that hasn't completely collapsed and can still lead to the gold mine."

He rubbed his fingers against Zheng Zhuo.

"Just... a little of this."

"..."

Zheng Zhuo was dumbfounded.

"……How much?"

The boss shows five fingers.Then, he said a price that Zheng Zhuo couldn't afford in reality.

"……seriously."

"You don't look as bold as the one with the glasses."

"...He paid it!?"

……

…………

………………

In the end, Zheng Zhuo failed to persuade the boss to tell him the location of the gold mine.

He had no choice but to leave the grocery store.

"That guy with glasses... How can he afford it... Could it be that the [ability] he brought to this world is money? No, it may also be the ability to deceive others..."

The more Zheng Zhuo thought about it, the more he felt that his starting point was much lower than others.He couldn't help holding his head.

However, at this moment.

- bang.

Zheng Zhuo heard a muffled sound coming from the grocery store.

"—!?"

He turned around, ran towards the grocery store, and pushed open the door——

Then, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

The boss fell to the ground.There is a dent in the head from being hit by a heavy object.Blood gurgled from his head, soaking the surroundings in an instant.

Rustle, rustle.

Zheng Zhuo took a step back.

At his feet, under the floor, came the sound of rats crawling.

at the same time.

Zheng Zhuo saw a floor at the end of the counter and moved.

It turned out to be a trapdoor!

It just seemed to be open!Now, it is slowly closing.
