MTL - This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic-Chapter 37 Another murder

  Chapter 37 Another murder case

   "It's hard..."

  Looking at the list and map in his hand, Mu You leaned back in the chair, rubbing the space between his brows with emotion.

   "What's bothering you?" At this moment a soft voice sounded.

   Mu You opened his eyes and took a look.

   At six o'clock in the afternoon, it was approaching the end of get off work, and there were no customers in the store. Xiaoya was too free to go out for a walk. At this time, there were only him and Lin Xue in the store.

  Lin Xue sat on a wooden chair by the window, bathed in the setting sun, with a medical book on her lap, flipping through it quietly.

   Mu You thought for a moment: "Xiaoxue, have you ever played Werewolf Killing?"

"No."

  Lin Xue looked up at him and pushed his glasses: "But I have seen some videos and know the rules."

"Then tell me, if there is no witch or prophet in a round of werewolf killing, how can a good person find the werewolf?" Mu You simply asked this question to Lin Xue, wanting to hear what this high-intelligence tyrant would do answer.

   "There are no witches, and no seers..."

  Lin Xue repeated this question a little strangely, bowed her head in thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "In that case, under normal rules, I'm afraid there is no solution."

"oh?"

"The essence of werewolf killing is actually a game with asymmetric information. Such a game must start with a logical introduction, and the ability of witches and prophets is the only way for good people to obtain information. Without these two identities, there is no logical starting point for the whole game. Everyone can say 'I am a good person' and pass, then the game will become a rigid game of push and push. When the werewolf side does not make mistakes, the good person There is no doubt that we will lose." Lin Xue finished speaking in her usual calm tone.

   "..."

   Mu You was stunned, he just asked casually, but he didn't expect Lin Xue to give such a professional analysis.

  However... it didn't work!

  After a lot of analysis, the conclusion is that there is no solution, and it still can't solve any problems. It just makes him understand how serious the situation is now.

   "Can I just give up..."

   Mu You smiled wryly and shook his head. From this point of view, the game has reached a stalemate, and we can only find a way to fight against the werewolf in reality, but this way, the danger will increase greatly...

   "No." At this moment, Lin Xue suddenly spoke again.

"Um?"

   "If the good guy just wants to win, there are actually two ways." Lin Xue said.

"ah?"

   Mu You was quite surprised. Lin Xue actually said that there was a solution to an unsolvable problem? And there are two kinds?

   "What is it?"

   "First, if there are two or more debate masters who play werewolf killing in the good guy camp, they can use the cooperation of speech skills to guide the werewolves to talk about themselves logically." Lin Xue said.

"so…"

   After hearing this, Mu You frowned quickly, then shook his head. This method doesn't work for him, because the game doesn't provide players with a communication channel at all, and it's difficult to communicate with other NPCs, so how can they talk about werewolves?

   "What about the second one?"

   "The second is even simpler. Good people can open their eyes and take a peek when werewolves are acting at night. Whoever keeps their eyes open is a werewolf..." Lin Xue said.

   "Cheating..."

  Mu You couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't expect that Lin Xue, who is always serious, could give such a 'humorous' answer.

   "Forget it, don't think about it, anyway, the werewolf in the game has nothing to do with me for the time being..."

   Mu You stretched, and decided not to bother about such unsolvable things.

   "Whoa whoa whoa..."

   At this time, the siren suddenly sounded outside.

   Mu You stood up subconsciously and looked out, and saw police cars whizzing by on the street, at least seven or eight police cars passed by one after another.

   "What happened?"

   Mu You was a little strange, and was about to get up and go out to see the situation.

   "Here's the water! Here's the water! Who wants to drink?"

  Xiaoya suddenly pushed the door open and came in, holding a bag of iced drinks in her hand, shouting, but she had already distributed a bottle to each of them.

   "Thank you." Lin Xue smiled politely and took the drink.

   "Thank you...Xiaoya, what happened outside?" Mu You hurriedly asked.

   "Well, that's what I was going to say! I heard that there was a murder case in the community over there, and a lot of police officers went to it. It's scary!" Xiaoya said with lingering fear.

   "Murder case?" Mu You was startled.

  Over there, Lin Xue also looked up in surprise.

"Yes, there are discussions among the owners. The incident happened in Building 39 of Hongwan Community, not far from my home. The residents in the building there have all run away in fright, and the floors have also been sealed off by the police. There are many seals, and the police should be investigating the case now." Xiaoya said.

   After hearing this, Mu You's face suddenly became very serious, because he suddenly remembered the two murders of players that happened three months ago.

  This time, could it be...

   "By the way, who died?" Mu You asked hurriedly.

"ah?"

  Xiaoya was stunned for a moment. She really didn't notice this, so she hurriedly turned on her phone and looked through the WeChat group.

   "Oh, the victim seems to be a girl who lives alone. It took almost a day for her to be found, so pitiful..."

   "Girl? Are you sure?"

   "It's a girl, that's right, everyone in the group said so, look." Xiaoya hurriedly raised her phone to show Mu You.

   Mu You took the phone and checked the chat history.

According to the speeches of the few insiders in the group, the victim was a woman in her twenties, an office worker, living alone. It is said that something happened last night, but no one heard the screams, and was not discovered until today. The blood was called to the police.

   "Could it be the 'little girl' player? She was also discovered by werewolves, so she was killed at home?" Mu You immediately thought of this possibility.

It's a pity that the information in the WeChat group is very mixed. Those so-called "insiders" owners didn't say much about the situation at the scene, and they didn't even mention the way the victim died. It's impossible to judge whether it was a werewolf who committed the crime. .

   "It seems that it is necessary to go to the scene to see for yourself..." Mu You thought.

   The specific case can only be reported by the police. However, if a werewolf is really involved, it is very likely that the police will not report the specific details.

   He can only check it by himself...

  Thinking of this, Mu You didn't hesitate, and immediately went upstairs to pack up his things, stuffed all the equipment he could use into his backpack, zipped it up and went downstairs.

   "Boss, are you going out again?" Xiaoya saw Mu You's outfit.

   "Well, I'm going out to do some errands. By the way, there are not many people today, so you should get off work early... Remember to lock the door later." Mu You left this sentence and hurried out the door.

"oh…"

  Xiaoya came to the door, looked at Mu You's disappearing back in an instant, and was still a little dazed: "Walk so fast?"

  At this time, Lin Xue silently walked to Xiaoya, and also glanced at the street outside, thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Your boss...is there anything strange recently?"
