For a moment, the Tool Room was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.
Wei Xing had indeed seen this NPC before. Not just any NPC, but this fatty who had both of his legs amputated. This NPC just happened to know who this NPC was. She was right. The fact that the fatty knew who the Gamer was meant that the two of them had definitely met before. Therefore, the person who had not seen him before tonight could not be the Gamer.
Wei Xing's logic was self-consistent and reasonable … However, Lin Sanjiu still looked at the remaining two people with hope.
"What about you guys?" She asked, "Have you seen this NPC before?"
Both of their necks seemed to be frozen. Even though they bore her heavy gaze, they couldn't click on the NPC. The red-faced man stared at Wei Xing's side profile while the ex-guard stared at his hands. For a moment, neither of them spoke. From their expressions, Lin Sanjiu could tell that they also knew that they had not seen this NPC before.
"Even if they lied and said that they had seen this NPC before, the NPC would not cooperate. Of course, they had nothing to say." Wei Xing also seemed to heave a sigh of relief. He walked towards her, "I've said it before. I know that I have wronged you …"
"Wait!"
The red-faced man called out in a low voice. For the first time, under the mottled red paint, there was a hint of panic on his face, "I don't understand why this is happening. I am a Gamer, but I have never seen him before … What's going on? How do you know that I am a Gamer? "The last sentence was directed at the NPC.
The NPC just shook his head and said nothing.
"I am the same as him," the ex-guard quickly added, "That's what I wanted to say!"
Wei Xing shook his head, "That's it? You have no choice but to act shamelessly? "
Seeing that both sides were about to start arguing, Lin Sanjiu raised her hand in the air and raised her voice slightly, "Shut up!"
The Tool Room fell into silence once again.
Lin Sanjiu frowned. She felt that she had missed something. After thinking for a few seconds, she suddenly raised her head and said to the NPC, "I have a question for you."
"Hmm?"
"The reason why you know that a certain person is a Gamer," she asked carefully, "is it because of your meeting with that person?"
Wei Xing played a trick. She only proved that she had met the NPC before. If the NPC had found out about the Gamer's identity through other means, then there was no point in proving it.
However, the NPC's reply disappointed her, "Yes, it was because of that meeting that I knew he was a Gamer."
Obviously, only one of the three of them had seen the NPC before. No matter how hard Lin Sanjiu thought about it, she couldn't think of a situation where Gamer could be someone else. However, it was too much for her to accept Wei Xing and cooperate with him. Unwilling to give up, she added, "So, is this woman Gmaer?"
"I can't answer that question," the NPC said with the same expression. "You know that. You can only judge for yourselves. You'll only know when it's time to get the points. "
"I, I also have evidence!" The former guard suddenly jumped up and almost bumped into the red-faced man. "I forgot, I have one too … Look!"
He reached into his collar and pulled out a thin chain. There was a small glass cube hanging from it. "I don't know if this is a Special Item because it's really useless … It's just a souvenir I gave myself after I joined the club. Many people would bring a souvenir with them. I heard … "
Just like the crystal ball in the magic story, the small glass cube reflected a scene that didn't belong to this time and place. A few unfamiliar men and women were standing in a space that was about the size of a tool room. Judging from the buttons and the screen on the side, it seemed to be the interior of an elevator. The perspective of the small glass cube seemed to be projected from a camera. The heads of the men and women moved together and apart from time to time. Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell what they were discussing, but no one walked out of the elevator.
"This is the first game I participated in," the former guard muttered. "It's an escape game with layers upon layers. It took me a lot of effort to get out. When I left the game, I took this gadget … It can't do anything. It can only send me real-time images of the escape game. "
"That is to say, at this moment, these people are really in the elevator of that pocket dimension?" Bohemia pinched the small glass cube and pulled the former guard to lean forward.
"Yes, it's true."
Wei Xing was the first to withdraw his gaze.
"What can this prove? I really don't understand." She folded her arms. "You participated in the game pocket dimension and got a souvenir … So? Many people have participated in the game pocket dimension. Does this mean that everyone is a gamer? "
Although he didn't want to admit it, what she said was indeed reasonable.
The former guard seemed to have come back to his senses at this moment. His face turned red, which was no less than that of the red-faced man. "This, this proves that I'm a gamer! Many of the players in the Club will bring souvenirs … "
"Unless it says that it's a club souvenir, otherwise, it's useless," the red-faced man suddenly changed the topic, "But I really have to defend him. If I had to choose between the two of them, I would choose him … Because he carries such a useless gadget with him, it shows that he is obsessed with games. If he is obsessed with games, he is more likely to be a gamer, right? "
This seemed to be a reasonable set of logic.
"What about you?" Bohemia asked. "Do you admit that you're not a gamer?"
"I don't." The red-faced man sighed. "Of course I know I'm a gamer, but I don't have any way to prove it. Who would have thought that as a member of the club, I would have to find a way to prove my identity one day? Forget it, let's just take it that both of us are unlucky today. "
His attitude made Lin Sanjiu hesitate. There was a high possibility that the red-faced man was a gamer. He knew the club so well, and there was no reason for him to paint his face red … Of course, he was tricked by Wei Xing into going to the basement of the hospital, but no one said that a gamer couldn't be tricked, right?
"I give up." Bohemia waved her hand and snapped, "Why does everyone look so sincere? You're just short of betting with your own mother."
She paused for a moment and raised her chin at Wei Xing, "But if you ask me, the most likely gamer is this average-looking woman."
"Average-Looking?" Wei Xing finally couldn't stand it anymore. For the first time since they met again, there was a hint of life on her face. After all, she couldn't even accept a compliment like "pretty", let alone "average-looking". "I get it now. Even if you have plastic surgery, you can't make me look like this. You're just jealous."
Bohemia seemed to be shocked by Wei Xing's words. She didn't even have the time to get angry. She just had a stunned expression on her face. "Huh? Do you really think that you're beautiful? "
'Is this important now?'
Seeing that Wei Xing was about to become the third red-faced man, Lin Sanjiu felt a headache coming on. She quickly gestured for the two to shut up. Perhaps it was because she was too agitated, everyone quickly quietened down.
'If only the grand prize was here,' Lin Sanjiu thought to herself. She had expended as much Higher Consciousness as she could, and the little bit that she had recovered was probably not enough for her camouflage. On the other hand, Bohemia and Hei Zeji were the type whose instincts were faster than their brains … In the end, she still had to rely on herself.
The more Lin Sanjiu thought about what they said, the more she felt that she was just one step away from the answer. She just needed a little inspiration to break through that layer of window paper … She glanced at the NPC in the corner.
'Can this fatty give me some hints?'
Lin Sanjiu couldn't see any expression on that face that was covered in fat. Even his eyes were squeezed into two thin lines, let alone any hint — wait, fat —
Lin Sanjiu grabbed the word that flashed across her mind. She didn't dare to let it go. Her mind kept going back and forth on the word "fat".
The NPC said that he could move his fat freely and make his body size expand or shrink according to his will … When he wasn't on duty, he would move his fat away and blend in with the other players … If that was the case, the fact that the other two couldn't recognize this fat NPC was enough to prove that they had never met him before!
"What are you thinking about?" Bohemia leaned in and asked.
Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to let Bohemia interrupt her train of thought. She waved her hand without saying a word and turned toward the wall. She could feel the gazes of the others glued to her back.
However, the NPC couldn't move his fat on his own … Lin Sanjiu had already asked this question when she was carrying the NPC on her back. "Is there any other way?"
"What kind of attitude is this?" Bohemia was unhappy. She pushed aside the few "suspects" in front of her and squeezed her way to Hei Zeji. She instructed him, "Hey, I don't think her idea will work. How about this, you break all their arms and legs, and we'll bring them to that room together! " I don't believe that three handicapped people can still stir up any trouble … "
"Get out of my way!"
Suddenly, Hei Zeji let out a low growl and sprang up from the ground. Bohemia was stunned for a moment before she was pushed to the side by Hei Zeji. Then, she felt an arm reaching out from beside her ear and grabbing her behind. Almost at the same time, a scream came from behind her. Lin Sanjiu and Bohemia turned to the direction of the scream at the same time. Then, both of them froze.
Even though Hei Zeji was the first one to react, he was still too late.
There was a deep cut on the former guard's throat. Bubbles of blood kept gushing out from his throat, mixed with the desperate, bellows-like hissing sound he made when he tried to inhale. Wei Xing stood beside the former guard. Her face and arms were splattered with blood. Perhaps she couldn't believe that she had succeeded. She was so excited that her chest was heaving up and down.
"I admit that he is the real Gamer," she wiped the blood off her face and smiled at the others in the tool room, "It's not me, and it's not this red face. But now that he's dead, I've figured out how he earned his points … I think there's no other way but to bring me along. "
