Chapter 49 Desperate Situation

The rule of closing eyes is invalid?

Did the rules of the amusement facilities change after the amusement park became S-level?

Everyone looked at the corpse of He Bo and the head in the arms of Fire Demon, their faces extremely ugly.

As the roller coaster stopped, the six The Way of the Extraordinary simultaneously received a prompt:

【Next round starts in: 00:04:40】

“The next round starts in five minutes...” Qi Tian Da Sheng, sitting in the last row, looked at the headless corpse of He Bo in front of him, his face somewhat tense:

“If the rule of closing eyes is invalid, then someone among us will die when the next round starts. We need to find the rule quickly. Have you found anything?”

Fire Demon still had a look of terror on his face. He threw the head out of the car, turned his head irritably and shouted:

“Who can find the rule while keeping their eyes closed the whole time?”

Kuǐ wèi rén fù frowned:

“If the rule of closing eyes has changed, then we need to find the new rule, otherwise people will continue to die in the next two rounds.”

Xi Shi bit her fiery red lips, “I was paying attention along the way since we decided to ride the roller coaster, but I didn’t find any valuable clues or information.”

No clues or information meant that they couldn’t make targeted plans and could only use the dumbest method—trial and error.

But the cost of trial and error...

Qi Tian Da Sheng looked terrible:

“How could an S-level Spirit Realm provide clear and explicit information to clear the level? If it were that simple, would it still be called S-level?”

Xie Lingxi thought for a moment and also expressed her opinion:

“I’m sorry, it’s my fault. We were misled by the old version of the strategy and missed an opportunity to find the rules.”

Her eyes were filled with tears, pitiful and seemingly extremely guilty.

Qi Tian Da Sheng hurriedly said:

“It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s no use saying these things now. No information doesn’t mean there’s no way. While we still have time, let’s discuss it...”

After a pause, he continued:

“If the rule of closing eyes has changed, then there are only two possibilities. One, the roller coaster rule has become one death per round, He Bo is the proof. Two, we missed the opportunity to observe because we closed our eyes.”

Xi Shi’s eyes lit up as if she looked at him with new eyes: “So we can’t close our eyes next time.”

Zhang Yuanqing listened to his companions' discussion, his thoughts drifting away...

“First of all, exclude supernatural elements. Although my active skills are sealed, as a Night Wanderer, my perception of spirits is still there. If it was a spirit in the amusement park acting up, it’s impossible that I wouldn’t sense anything.”

“From what I see now, the roller coaster still has three rounds. Since this hasn’t changed, why would the rule of closing eyes change? Maybe, it’s not the rule that’s killing people...”

Zhang Yuanqing’s heart shook, and he thought of a possibility.

Could it be the work of an evil person hiding in the team, are the villains starting to kill? But how did he (she) do it?

At this time, 'Kuǐ wèi rén fù' looked at Fire Demon and suddenly asked:

“Why didn’t you remind us when He Bo died, and only spoke after the car stopped?”

Fire Demon raised his eyebrows: “What do you mean!”

The middle-aged man still had a simple and honest appearance, and said calmly: “I’m just curious.”

Fire Demon glared at him and said loudly: “Of course I felt it, that head smashed into my arms, but how could I dare to speak, dare to open my eyes? What if I opened my mouth to remind, and the next to die would be me.”

Kuǐ wèi rén fù stopped talking.

Zhang Yuanqing asked: “When did he die, or rather, when did the head fall into your arms?”

Fire Demon didn't hesitate: “When we hit the second slope.”

Zhang Yuanqing immediately looked at Xi Shi: “You were next to him, did you feel anything strange?”

Xi Shi shook her head, “I, I have a fear of heights, I was very scared, I didn’t pay attention to the movements around me...”

Zhang Yuanqing frowned deeply.

From the distribution of seats, the most likely suspects are Xi Shi, Fire Demon, and Kuǐ wèi rén fù.

Qi Tian Da Sheng, who was separated by one seat, can basically be ruled out. With the physical fitness of the Transcendent stage, it is unlikely that he could unbuckle his seatbelt, cross over Fire Demon and Kuǐ wèi rén fù in the front row, and kill He Bo in the second row.

Not to mention that it would be easily noticed by the two of them, the kinetic energy of the roller coaster alone would be enough to throw him out.

Thinking this way, he turned his head and looked at the petite girl. With her height and arm length, she would have to unbuckle her seatbelt to turn around and kill someone.

So her possibility is also small.

Next is to verify whether Fire Demon is lying, and confirm whether He Bo really died at that time... Before the second round starts, Zhang Yuanqing closed his eyes and visualized his father's outline in his mind.

If He Bo didn't die when the roller coaster was speeding, then the time when the murderer killed must be the initial slow climb, when the kinetic energy of the roller coaster is not great.

And he who can collect sound, can directly lock the murderer.

As his father's facial features gradually became clear, Zhang Yuanqing's heart "thumped" and his brain was boiling. The picture started from the initial entry into the Spirit Realm, replaying frame by frame.

He chewed on these pictures while patiently waiting.

Finally, they got into the car, and when the double roller coaster slowly started, Zhang Yuanqing couldn't see any pictures, because he had closed his eyes at this moment.

But the sound wouldn't disappear, he captured the heartbeats and breaths of seven people.

Then, it was Xi Shi's short scream. The roller coaster dove straight down, rushing towards the second high slope in a rumbling sound. Just then, a heartbeat disappeared in the back row...

“Ah, what’s wrong with you...”

Xie Lingxi exclaimed, looking in astonishment at the companion whose nose was bleeding.

The other members also stopped arguing and looked over.

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing!” Zhang Yuanqing waved his hand, wiped the blood from his nose, and forced a smile while enduring the throbbing pain in his brain, “I’ve had a habit of nosebleeds since I was a child, especially when I see pretty girls.”

Xie Lingxi blushed a little when she heard this.

Xi Shi and Fire Demon cast suspicious glances, the middle-aged man Kuǐ wèi rén fù only glanced at him, and Qi Tian Da Sheng in the last row took the opportunity to glance at Xie Lingxi's face and Xi Shi's chest a few times.

Zhang Yuanqing maintained a calm expression, but he was already cursing in his heart.

He Bo's death proved that the evil person has special killing methods!

"Silently taking people's heads, without making any noise, this is a bit terrifying... I must find a way to stop him. One person is killed in one round. After three rounds, there will only be four people left in the team, and we still have at least one more entertainment project. How can we play this?!"

Reaching this point is almost a dead end.

If it wasn't an evil person killing people, but the rules of the roller coaster, the ending would still be the same.

The more Zhang Yuanqing thought about it, the more anxious he became, and cold sweat almost oozed from his forehead.

Everyone is a suspect, including Xie Lingxi next to me and Qi Tian Da Sheng in the last row... Zhang Yuanqing's eyes swept over everyone.

Xie Lingxi frowning and thinking, Xi Shi with an uneasy face, the silent middle-aged man, Qi Tian Da Sheng with a hidden panic in his eyes, and the cursing Fire Demon.

For a moment, he felt that these people were all acting, all with ulterior motives.

The crisis in this copy is not just entertainment facilities, but also within The Way of the Extraordinary... Yuanshi Tianzun cursed in his heart.

At the same time, a doubt flashed through his mind again: Why was it He Bo who died?

Does the evil person kill people randomly, or is there another reason?

Assuming I am a werewolf, and I have a chance to kill someone randomly, who would I kill? Thinking this way, Zhang Yuanqing had an answer in his heart.

Kill the smartest person on the team!

“In that case, the next to die is me...” Zhang Yuanqing’s scalp tingled.

......
