Aside from the NPC, everyone in the toolshed was a fugitive. Even when they were being interrogated, they kept their voices low. Where was the person hiding outside the door? How did he happen to hear them?
Lin Sanjiu gestured for Bohemia to move aside while she stood beside the door. She moved her gauntleted right hand a few times and asked softly, "How long have you been out there?"
"I just walked to the door … Actually, I didn't hear it from here," the person replied in a low voice. The person outside the door also replied in an angry voice, "I'm very familiar with the terrain here. In order to avoid the guards, I've installed listening ears in many corners. I was hiding two corridors away, but I heard your conversation. Then, I came here. "
"Eavesdropping ears?" Lin Sanjiu gestured for Bohemia to look for the eavesdropping ears. "Where is it? Is it in the toolshed? "
Just when she thought she could verify the authenticity of a statement, she heard the person whisper, "It's just above this toolshed. I'll show you when I get in."
"Anyway, at least this person isn't a guard." Lin Sanjiu shot a glance at Hei Zeji, but the latter didn't respond. She thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, and opened the door.
When the person saw her face, he took a step back, "Ah, it's you."
"You should thank me," Lin Sanjiu looked at him from head to toe, "If I didn't kill you, you would still be a guard."
His appearance was completely different from when he was a guard. After getting rid of the black hole and the withered body, his facial features looked small and soft. He was always hesitant when he spoke, which made him seem like a person who couldn't make up his mind. He looked at Lin Sanjiu's right hand, which was ready to attack at any time. He couldn't help but shrink his shoulders. After being urged twice, he squeezed into the toolshed.
"It's so crowded here," Bohemia stuck close to the wall. She sounded very dissatisfied, "There are so many people here, and the air stinks. Hurry up and tell me what you want to say. Don't make me wait."
"I'm Gamer," the former guard said as soon as the red-faced man opened his mouth, "I'm the one you're looking for …"
"No, I'm the one," Wei Xing shook his head.
Why did they all pretend to be Gamer?
Following this line of thought, one would realize that the answer was actually very obvious. The three of them were trapped in the basement. They could not get out, and they did not dare to be discovered by the guards. They did not even know what to do next. They could only endure for a while. They must be at a loss and anxious. At that moment, they suddenly realized that not only did the other group understand the situation, but they also had the help of an NPC. It seemed like they had a good chance of leaving the underground. How could they not think of a way to join them?
After all, not everyone had the virtue of helping each other in an apocalyptic world. Most "assistance" was essentially an exchange of benefits. If one did not prove that they were useful to others, even if others were willing to lend a helping hand, the person who was in trouble would have doubts instead.
Lin Sanjiu looked at the NPC and asked, "Since you know that there is a gamer in this place, then you must know which one is it. Tell me, who is it? "
She hoped it wouldn't be a guard.
"If I could tell you the answer now, I wouldn't have to beat around the bush just now." The NPC sat in the corner, his chubby face revealing an indecipherable smile. "You have to decide for yourselves."
This answer was not unexpected to Lin Sanjiu. She crossed her arms and looked at the three of them, "Since you are Gamers, then you should know the hidden way to earn points, right? Why don't you tell me separately and I will verify it with the NPC? The person who passes the verification will be a Gamer. "
The three of them looked at each other.
"How can you do that?" the red-faced man sneered as if he was looking at an insensible child, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
"That … If I tell you now," the former guard said softly, "If you know the method, then I will be useless, right? Even if I have to tell you, I can only tell the NPC … "
Wei Xing sighed and did not say anything.
"Then you can verify it with him," Lin Sanjiu rarely beat around the bush, so she felt a little embarrassed, "The person who passes the verification will be a Gamer."
"Well," the former guard lowered his eyes, "we can't do that now …"
"He has a listening ear," the red-faced man said with a face full of suspicion, "Who knows what you have? What if you use some tricks to eavesdrop on me when I tell the NPC? Isn't it the same? "
Wei Xing shook his head, "As the saying goes, we won't release the eagle until we see the rabbit … Our relationship can't be salvaged now, so I hope you won't blame me for being more careful. Before we reach the room full of Dead Man Points, I won't say a word, just like them. "
Lin Sanjiu was about to say, "Then we can go to that room to verify it," but a thought suddenly stopped her. The three of them were full of suspicion and were extremely cautious. Unknowingly, Lin Sanjiu was infected and became a little paranoid. Would it be too dangerous to bring all of them to the "Pocket Dimension Engine"? The real Gamer might have wanted to speak at the last moment out of caution, but the two fake Gamers knew very well that if they didn't do anything, they would be exposed sooner or later … It was hard to say what they would do when they got there.
"We can't bring the fake Gamer there." Bohemia was thinking of the same thing. She grew impatient and suggested, "Let Hei Zeji beat them all until the truth and the fart come out of his mouth."
Lin Sanjiu had been suppressing her urge to exercise her right as her savior. Just when she thought of this, she saw Hei Zeji stand up without saying a word. She quickly stopped him, "No, sit back down."
"Why not?" Bohemia was even more enthusiastic than Hei Zeji, "The fake Gamer will confess when he's scared, but the real Gamer won't confess no matter what!"
"It's not that simple."
If she believed that the real Gamer wouldn't confess to lying, all they had to do was grit their teeth and endure the beating until the other two couldn't take it anymore. After that, the last gamer would be considered as the real Gamer. All three of them knew this very well. If that was the case, it would become a competition of endurance. Who knew if the real Gamer could take the pain? What if the real Gamer was this frail-looking ex-guard who couldn't take it anymore after two hits?
Not to mention, Lin Sanjiu didn't like torturing people.
"How about this?" She thought for a moment, "Let's solve this in a more civilized way. If all of you claim to be Gamer, then you must know something about the Gaming Club. You should know something about LAVA and the hospital. Why don't all of you tell me something that can prove that you are the real Gamer? Let me see who is the real Gamer. "
