Chapter 29 Something's Wrong

"Well, now that we know where one duck blood curd with tofu bento box is, what about the other one?"

Mu Chen straightened up, clearing his throat to draw everyone's attention away from the awkward situation. He looked at the remaining two people: Qihai Kui and Julian.

The other bento box was between them.

"We've both finished our bento boxes," Qihai Kui said first. "We finished them together."

"You saw him eat both?" Mu Ning immediately sensed something was off. He looked at Julian and said, "I remember you two didn't buy them together, right? There was a clear order. Maybe he got rid of one before you came back?"

"That's impossible!"

Julian hadn't said a word the whole time, but Qihai Kui was unusually active.

"How is it impossible? Did you see it?"

"Yes, I saw it. We both ate our bento boxes. I can guarantee it wasn't either of us."

Qihai Kui's confident assurance contrasted sharply with Julian's silence. Mu Chen secretly observed them and suddenly realized there seemed to be something he didn't know.

Something that made Qihai Kui willing to protect Julian so directly.

"If you both ate them, did the other duck blood curd with tofu box just grow legs and run away?"

At this point, Mandison also felt there was something wrong with Qihai Kui and Julian, especially since Qihai Kui didn't seem like someone who would lie, yet he was so insistent on helping Julian.

It really gave off a "hiding the silver here" vibe.

"You two… what's going on?"

Mandison looked at them suspiciously. Finally, he said, "You both know what happened to that bento box, don't you?"

[What's going on? My brain can't keep up…]

[Me too, who… who is the killer?]

[Huh? Who?!]

[I'm tired, why is this taking so long? My brain cells are dying…]

[I think the only ones here with clear heads are the big shots? Look at the meaningful smile on Big Shot's face, and the way he keeps looking at the other players. Either he's the killer, or he already knows!]

[Big Shot must be having a great time, but… but I can't get into it QAQ. Big Shot seems to know everything, but I don't understand!!]

[I don't understand the Big Shot's thought process orz!]

[Big Shot, please just be decisive! Either point out all the killers, or… you be the killer and kill them all QAQ! This is making me anxious!]

…

For the first time, Mingmei saw the players in the live stream so unstable.

Why are they so anxious watching a game?

The reason was easy to understand. Mingmei watched the live stream chat for a while, and noticed that everyone was saying something – that this game wasn't meant to be played for long.

Because soon after the game was launched, players had invented a violent way to play.

If Ba She was too full to help them, they would do it themselves, and some players could even kill the killer.

Mingmei: 0.0!!

This… this playstyle is eerily familiar!

In a daze, Mingmei remembered what her Uncle Ruan Ruan said about killing all the other players to clear the game.

Coming back to her senses, Mingmei was surprisingly satisfied with the players in this round who were only arguing and relying on Ba She to eliminate others.

However, Ba She said, stirring up trouble, "Alright, now that I've had my digestion fluid, I have an appetite again! Who wants to be eaten?"

Mingmei: ???

Everyone silently looked at the glass in Ba She's hand. The transparent liquid inside looked suspiciously familiar.

So, is there poison in this game?

The digestion fluid looks just like plain water?

Mingmei didn't know what the players were thinking, but looking at the expressions on their faces, they seemed to really believe it, making her want to constantly complain about Ba She's theatrics!

It's obviously just plain water, how can you be so easily fooled!

"Forget it, Qihai, let's just tell the truth. We have nothing to hide."

At this point, Julian sighed and suddenly confessed.

It turned out that his bento box had been placed in an inconspicuous spot, and Qihai Kui hadn't noticed it and kicked it away.

"Qihai didn't do it on purpose… Alas, I just didn't put it in a good spot."

Julian looked at Qihai Kui with a guilty expression. Hearing Julian's words, Qihai Kui scratched his head awkwardly, his head lowered so his expression was not visible, "This was purely an accident…"

"Heh~ Maybe one of you did it on purpose," Mu Ning sneered, looking at Julian. "How could it be such a coincidence?"

"Your bento box was conveniently stolen, so my bento box can't be conveniently destroyed?"

Qihai Kui looked up at Mu Ning and said directly, "No matter what, eliminating you and Lu Xiaoyao is the most important thing right now."

"Hey? What's your problem…"

Mu Ning and Qihai Kui were arguing. Suddenly hearing Qihai Kui say he wanted to eliminate himself and Mu Ning, Lu Xiaoyao got anxious.

"What's wrong with you? How did you turn on me again?!"

"The attention was originally on you, we just interrupted. You two who are supposed to die still have to die."

Qihai Kui's words left Mingmei speechless, let alone Lu Xiaoyao and Mu Ning.

The words were rough but the logic wasn't wrong, it was just really hard to hear!

"Let's vote."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Qihai Kui said, "Raise your hand if you agree to eliminate Mu Ning."

Then, Lu Xiaoyao and Mandison raised their hands first, and Julian hesitated before raising his hand as well.

"Big Shot?"

Lu Xiaoyao looked at Mu Chen, who hadn't raised his hand. A look of fear flashed across her eyes, and she said, on the verge of tears, "Why don't you believe me?"

"I believe you."

Mu Chen didn't raise his hand, but said he believed Lu Xiaoyao, causing everyone to look at Mu Chen, wondering what kind of belief that was.

"I believe you're not stupid, so the possibility of you being the killer isn't small."

Lu Xiaoyao: ??????

What does that mean?!

"Ahem! Raise your hand if you agree to eliminate Lu Xiaoyao."

Qihai Kui said again, and then raised his hand. After that, Mu Chen and Mu Ning voted for Lu Xiaoyao together, making it a tie.

However, Qihai Kui's choice made Julian couldn't help but ask, "Why did you choose Lu Xiaoyao? Didn't you tell me earlier…"

"I originally wanted to vote for Mu Ning, but my intuition tells me to trust Mu Chen."

Qihai Kui's serious look made his answer sound even more outrageous.

Julian: ??

What kind of reason is that?!

He suddenly remembered what Lu Gui had told him last round, that Qihai Kui and Li Yuan were exceptionally good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

"Isn't this a bit bad… Sometimes intuition can deceive you."

"Don't worry, I've been observing Mu Chen for a long time, he looks like he has everything under control. Julian, trust me, do you want to change your vote and vote for Lu Xiaoyao together?"

Julian: "…"
