Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

Chapter 181 Winning the lottery

In an instant, there were not many people left in the camp of the Pink Army.

Most of their weapons had already gone to Zhou Qian, and Zhou Qian did tell the truth all the information that could save their lives.

In the end, the only ones who hadn’t left were the 9 people from the Pink Army who were still alive, as well as Xu Yang, who had no way out and had to stay beside Ke Yuxiao, and that confidant who had been by his side all the time.

Shan Sheng and Renyi followed Ke Yuxiao with a few of their own people, but they also made a deal with Zhou Qian, giving them all the guns and bullets.

Shan Sheng did this because he was the mole sent by Shao Chuan to Taohong.

Benevolence and righteousness are like this, but don't have your own reasons.

He joined Taohong from a very early age, and he has a sense of belonging to the legion, and he is not someone who will easily betray.But now they really lack the information needed to save their lives.

In order to keep his subordinates alive, and to prevent all his subordinates from being fooled away by Zhou Qian's few words, it is necessary for Renyi to show that he can hand over all the bullets in his hand, just to give his subordinates a chance to survive.

The benevolent approach is clearly effective.

Of course, I am afraid that he is also a person who cherishes the lives of his brothers very much, which is different from other members of the Pink Legion.

So regardless of the attitude of these three men under him towards the Pink Army itself, they are absolutely loyal to benevolence and righteousness.The expressions of the three of them show all the time, no matter what happens around them, they will unswervingly follow benevolence and righteousness.

Therefore, during this process, Zhou Qian also looked at Renyi a few more times, thinking that this is a teammate that can be absorbed in the future.As long as he realizes that Tao Hong is not worth his life, as long as his faith collapses, Zhou Qian will have a chance to take him down.

This is a bit difficult.Because people like Renyi are usually very stubborn.

However, Zhou Qian has always been very confident in reshaping other people's beliefs, and he didn't think it was too difficult.

After a few moments, the king returns to the player's turn.

It's Zhou Qian's turn to be the king.

Seeing that the originally divided players have a general trend of uniting into one, the killer camp obviously knows that revealing their number plates to the players and letting them use information asymmetry to kill each other is the way to go. It's no longer possible.

In this way, they are becoming more and more vigilant to players, and they are absolutely unwilling to reveal the number plates in their hands easily.

As soon as they got the number, they put it away at a glance. When the game progress was accelerated, it was completely too late to send Gao Shan to look for it one by one.

So after recruiting another large group of people, Zhou Qian changed a new strategy——

Have the king report the killer's number first, and then the player's number.

The king now only has 30 seconds to choose a candidate. He needs to use 1 second to randomly name a number that belongs to the killer range without going through his brain.

According to Zhou Qian's previous observation, as long as the selected killer receives the number, he will immediately walk to the prison door.Zhou Qian shortened this time as much as possible. In this way, he had nearly 29 seconds to decide which player to send to fight this time.

This time, the king happened to be He Xiaowei's turn.

After He Xiaowei randomly named a killer's number, Zhou Qian quickly looked out of the cage, and his eyelids twitched immediately.

Seeing his expression, He Xiaowei was a little frightened, and quickly said: "Qian'er, I won't choose a big devil, right?"

Zhou Qian looked at him with deep eyes, and said in a low voice: "You have indeed won the lottery."

It was not one person who was walking towards the prison door, but four people.

It was a group of four killers, their methods were cruel and their actions were horrific, which stood out among all the serial killers.

They also kill the most people.Before history was changed, there were as many as 80.This group of killers can be said to be the most dangerous group of all killers.

Seeing Zhou Qian's expression, He Xiaowei couldn't help but turned his head to look at the cage mouth, and obviously saw the problem immediately.

A drop of sweat immediately dripped from his forehead, and he couldn't help opening his mouth: "Damn..."

"I come."

"Leave it to me this time."

The people who said these two sentences to He Xiaowei were Yindao and Zhou Qian.

But someone was one step ahead of them and handed the card to He Xiaowei.

"Read the number."

He Xiaowei was taken aback, and looked at Bai Zhou who was closest to him.

Bai Zhou only said: "You only have 5 seconds. If you don't want to die, hurry up."

Facing the three cards in front of him, He Xiaowei really didn't have time to worry about who to choose, and under Bai Zhou's extremely oppressive gaze, he immediately reported his number.

Then he saw the frowning Yindao, and... the great demon king Zhou Qian with a slightly sinister face.

"Cough that..." He Xiaowei wanted to explain his mental journey.

But Zhou Qian had no time to listen at this time.

Turning around quickly, Zhou Qian sent Bai Zhou to the prison door.

The two of them didn't say a word.

When he reached the prison door, Zhou Qian shook Bai Zhou's hand tightly, and said "be careful" to him.

Bai Zhou shook his hand back, leaving only four words: "Wait for me to come back."

"Okay." Zhou Qian nodded, speaking succinctly, and watched Bai Zhou walk to the side of the four cruel killers, and then followed them to the open space not far away.

·

Among the four, the leader is a couple, the wife is named Eli Bender, and the husband is John Bender.

Followed by the couple's son and daughter, the elder brother is called Charlie Bender and the younger sister is Rachel Bender.

——This is a four-person killer group composed of four members (Note).

The serial murder case committed by the Bender family came almost 100 years earlier than any murder case here.

At that time, Linekong City was not a unified whole like it is now.During that time, Blueport City experienced many rounds of wars in the west and east.

In the turbulent years, the Bender family got a piece of land at the junction of the east and the west, and opened a hotel named Bender there.

The youngest daughter, Rachel, is very beautiful and very good at communicating with people.From time to time, she would go to taverns and other places in nearby towns to drink and chat with passers-by and people in the town.

Gradually, everyone knew that there was a beautiful girl named Rachel, and her family was running a hotel.

Relying on the publicity of Rachel's beauty, the business of the hotel improved.

Many businessmen traveling between the east and west of Blue Harbor City will go to the hotel to stay here.

At that time, no one thought that the hotel would become the place where they died.

The lobby of the hotel is not big, and only Rachel is at the front desk.Responsible for arranging rooms for guests, pouring water for them, and chatting with them are all Rachel's jobs.

In the era of war, there were not many guests coming and going.Sometimes Rachel only has to entertain one person a day.

As soon as guests walk into the hotel, they will see the beautiful Rachel's smile that makes people feel refreshed.At that moment, he will feel that all the fatigue of the journey has been healed in this smile.

Under Rachel's leadership, guests will sit at the table with their backs facing the curtain.

Sometimes, guests will ask Rachel, what is behind the curtain?

Whenever this happened, Rachel would laugh and change the subject.Under her beautiful smile, guests will immediately forget about such insignificant things.

But what the guest never expected was that when he was concentrating on talking with Rachel, a hand holding a hammer would stick out from behind the curtain.

When he was knocked down by the hammer, the guest's pupils dilated sharply, and his face was full of disbelief.He subconsciously wants to get up and run away.But he couldn't do it.

Three people often come out from behind the curtain, Rachel's brother and parents.The three of them will kill this man neatly and take all the money on him.

The bodies of the guests will be dismembered, some will be placed in the basement, some will be used as fertilizer in the back garden, and some will be cooked and eaten by the family of four.

Most of the people who died here were tourists and businessmen who went back and forth between the east and west of Blue Harbor City. During times of war, there were many horse thieves and robbers at the junction of the two places. It was very dangerous to travel between the two places. Missing, it is difficult for anyone to directly link it to this hotel.

Later, some people finally suspected that they arrived at the hotel, and more than [-] people were killed.

It was a letter that the son of a man named Sim sent to his father Sim when he was traveling from the west to the east.He lingers in this small town and doesn't want to leave, because he fell in love with a girl named Rachel at first sight, and he specifically mentioned in his letter that Rachel is from the Bend Hotel.

After his son disappeared, Sim couldn't find his whereabouts everywhere, and suspected that he had been killed.He went to the Bender Hotel and met the Bender family.

The Bender family only said that there were a lot of people coming and going here, and they didn't remember what his son looked like at all.He may have died at the hands of some robber, or the body may have been left in the wilderness.

At that time, Sim had no evidence to prove that the Bender family had killed someone, so he had to leave the hotel temporarily.

However, he did not give up. He contacted many families of the missing persons one after another, and began lobbying in nearby towns, calling on everyone to go to the Bend Hotel to investigate.

At this moment, the Bender family mysteriously disappeared.

Sim and his assembled crowd searched the hotel and the area around it.

Sure enough, we found a lot of dead bodies.

The corpses were mutilated, mutilated in themselves.However, the hard-to-handle parts of the head were left behind. They were either buried in the back garden, vegetable garden, or hidden in the cellar, and some were even placed in wine barrels.

When the wine barrel was uncovered in the cellar and saw the skull inside, many people vomited on the spot.

—Many of them have come to the hotel to drink.

At this point, they can only be thankful that the main hall of the hotel was crowded when they came to drink.Otherwise, I'm afraid they will be brutally murdered by the Bender family like all other people who are alone.

The war ended afterwards, and things were finally unified into a complete Blue Harbor City. No one took over this hotel, and no one dared to live in it.

In order to avenge his son, Sim kept the original appearance of the hotel as much as possible. Not only did he not move the corpses, he also didn't move any items.

After the city bureau stabilized, he reported the case to the police. The police investigated and visited, and after confirming the identities of all the victims, they began to arrest the family of four in Langang City.

It's just that their family seemed to have evaporated and never appeared again.

At this moment, He Xiaowei was indeed a little worried, with both hands clasped on the iron railing, his eyes kept looking out.

He said to Zhou Qian beside him: "The Bender Hotel later became a museum. Those skulls were put there for people to visit. The museum reported this incident in great detail, and even drew cartoons. Everyone clearly You know, the four members of Bender's family are real murderers. In addition...

"Later, many people came forward to provide confessions, saying that they had seen Rachel's parents suspected of burying their bodies in the garden in the middle of the night; only……"

Sighing, He Xiaowei said: "It's just that at that time, Rachel's father claimed that the man wanted to rape Rachel in the store, and Rachel's mother took a knife to deal with that man. There are many people in the town who admire Rachel, Of course I believed this, but condemned the victims together.

"It wasn't until the matter was revealed and all the truth surfaced that everyone believed that person. In short——

"In short, this case is not only the case with the most victims and the most murderers among the serial murder cases related to this dungeon, but it also has a very special feature, that is, these four people are the murderers. It is also certain in the post-Honkai history!"

The first case that Zhou Qian and the others investigated in Blue Harbor City after the collapse was a murderer who soaked many girls in water tanks.

In the original history of Blue Harbor City, the murderer must have been caught.

But in the post-Honkai history, the murderer escaped.In this case, no one knows who the real culprit is.

The police pieced together a portrait of the murderer based on some confessions, but the person in the portrait was just the biggest suspect.What's more, they have no direct evidence to prove that the man is the murderer.

None of the reports used words such as "sure" or "definitely".

But the Benders are different.

The police investigation, coupled with the confessions of everyone in the town, has confirmed that they are the murderers.

They even built a museum to publicize Bender's evil deeds. The whole Langang City hated the four of them and vowed to find them.

In this case, unlike other cases, it was difficult for Bender to find a so-called "replacement."No one believed that the killer was anyone other than the four of them.

"Yes. It's different from other cases. In other cases, the murderer has been caught. The World Spirit established the murder exhibition hall, in fact, to let us exonerate them and let them be acquitted."

Zhou Qian narrowed his eyes and said, "But these four people are different. They have never been caught. They may not be looking for a replacement."

Regarding the special situation of the Bender family, when returning to the "past", what the player has to do is of course not to destroy clues and evidence, nor to kill witnesses.

So what does the player need to do to avoid being killed?

Unlike all other situations, this is a problem for which there is no established solution and requires the player to improvise.If there is a slight error, the player will only have a dead end.

So, when he found out that the four of them appeared, Zhou Qian knew that He Xiaowei was so unlucky that he hit this group of killers just like that.

55 groups of killers formed 55 questions.

What Bai Zhou is facing now is undoubtedly the most difficult one.

"Qian'er, I'm so flustered..." He Xiaowei swallowed hard, "I'm sorry..."

After saying this, He Xiaowei looked at Yindao on the other side.

Looking at Bai Zhou's disappearing back, Yindao was obviously also very worried.

He Xiaowei's eyes darkened, and he whispered again: "I'm sorry, Master."

Zhou Qian immediately said: "Shut up."

He Xiaowei stopped talking.

Zhou Qian turned his head and looked into his eyes: "The word 'sorry' is too unlucky for you. There is nothing to be sorry about. Because Brother Zhou will be fine."

He Xiaowei came to his senses, and hurriedly said "Bah, bah, bah" three times, looked at Zhou Qian and said, "Then what I just said doesn't count!"

Zhou Qian no longer looked at him, but stared out of the cage.

"It's a question that Dow didn't even know the subject of, and it's totally out of the ordinary. But it's not without trace. The other murderers play the king's game in order to find substitutes. These four don't need substitutes, but they play the game, There is always a purpose. From this point of view, you can find the trick to clear the level if you don’t let them achieve their purpose.

"Brother Zhou, our family, has had good grades since he was a child. He's fine."

the other side.

When Bai Zhou followed the four families to the open space, a hotel appeared in front of him with the word "Bende" written on it.

There was a lot of wind coming and going around, Bai Zhou stopped and looked back, and found that the hotel was located in a very desolate place, with no special buildings around it, and people passing by here who wanted to spend the night had to choose this hotel.

It stands to reason that killers usually have to hide their true identities from players, especially in the case of combo killers.

For example, Xu Feiyu faced the real murderer of the magician and the accomplice Bloody Mary.

The person who appeared to guide her was the real murderer, and Mary's appearance later acted as a distraction, making her confused about who the real murderer was, making it harder to distinguish the truth, and making it easier to fail in small tasks.

When there is a combination of killers, it is very convenient to have one in the light and one in the dark.

But these four people appeared directly, which means that they never planned to hide themselves.

They really don't have to.

It is a recognized fact that the four of them committed a bloody crime.

So what do they want?

Bai Zhou took a look at the situation around the hotel, and then without hesitation, pushed the door open and entered.

The sun shone in and hit Rachel's face at the front desk.

She raised her head and smiled at Bai Zhou, her smile was like the March spring breeze blowing through the ice and snow.

With such a smile, she said: "Welcome, please come in. Find a place to sit."

Her voice is full of energy, and it really can drive away the tiredness of all passers-by.

Bai Zhou glanced at the simple furnishings in the hall, and sat directly on the seat in front of the curtain that was rumored to hide the murderer.

Then Rachel comes over to him with a cup of tea and asks if he wants something to eat.

After Bai Zhou shook his head, Rachel sat down.

She took out a crystal ball and a deck of tarot cards.

Looking at Bai Zhou, she blinked her eyes playfully, and said, "I know spiritism. You can call me a psychic. I can help you treat some psychological problems, or tell fortunes. They are very good. My fee is not expensive .Do you want to try it?"
