When the thirty minutes were almost up and the last ray of sunset was about to disappear, the group returned to the beach one after another.
They looked like a group of homeless people who had gone to scavenge for scraps. As the beach was humid, there wasn't much material to burn, so they picked up whatever they could find. Vanvolt was lucky enough to find stacks of paper towels and hot dog wrappers from the canteen. Hana found a few bunches of dried palm leaves from her pocket. Caveman found a few empty cardboard boxes from somewhere.
However, most of them didn't even have enough material to burn. Guan Nan couldn't even find any shredded paper. She had no choice but to go back empty-handed with a pale face.
"We can gather everything that we can and put them in your basin," Wen Ya looked around and said to Lin Sanjiu, "The fire is big and bright. There is no need for each of us to light one fire. It won't burn for long." "That's right.
Roab, Ratface, and the others who didn't find much material to start the fire immediately agreed, "I agree."
However, even Vanvolt and the others who had a lot of materials nodded their heads after some hesitation.
This should be one of the reasons why they were willing to collect paper. Even if Lin Sanjiu's media was really paper or something that could burn, so what?
During the thirty minutes of the beach scenario, everyone had spread out to avoid Lin Sanjiu. When the next scenario started, Lin Sanjiu would throw everything into the pot and light the fire. By then, it would be too late for Lin Sanjiu to say anything.
From another perspective, if the paper was really a media, Lin Sanjiu's method was rather risky. If the media was burned before she could advertise her message, or if the number of media was reduced to less than four, it would be impossible for her to win and get eliminated.
"Sure," Lin Sanjiu shrugged and said, "I'll start the fire."
As the beach grew darker, the silhouettes of the palm trees, the sound of the wind, and the waves gradually sank into the darkness. It was as if the world around them had been cut off bit by bit by the gloomy and cold silence. Everyone realized that the third scene had arrived.
"I can't see anything …" Ratface was a little flustered, "Where's the fire? Aren't we supposed to start the fire? "
He wasn't the only one who was flustered. "Is there anyone beside me? Is there anyone? "Ya Mu warned in the dark." Don't come near me, or I won't be polite. "
Guan Nan seemed to be very afraid of the unknown murderer. He urged Lin Sanjiu to light up the lamp. Robb pressed a few buttons and cursed, "Why is this stupid lamp not working?"
"Where's the Hairy Girl?" Jiang Tian's voice was also mixed in the crowd. "Where are you?"
"I'm here," Lin Sanjiu called out from the darkness, "I put the basin here too. You guys bring the paper over and throw the basin in when you find it."
In the pitch-black darkness, the restless breath was like a tidal wave. It carried the sound of clothes and rustling footsteps as it made its way towards the source of Lin Sanjiu's sound. Eiderdown called out, "Ah, here is the basin," and under her guidance, the crowd poured everything into the basin, which was soon full.
"Hurry up and start a fire," Jiang Tian said, feeling a little uneasy. "It's pitch black. Besides, there's still …"
What else was there? She didn't continue, but the others only thought for a moment and immediately reacted.
The traces left behind in a scene would not recover, which meant that Doctor Chen's body was still sitting in the corner of the darkness, silently sharing the room with them.
"Why is it so slow to start a fire?" The caveman became anxious when he realized there was a corpse in the dark. "If you can't start a fire, let me do it."
With a click of the lighter, a thin flame licked the paper in the basin. It gradually grew brighter. The light spread out in the dark and illuminated Lin Sanjiu's face. Slowly, the floor, the table, the chairs, and the corners of the room were revealed.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. After they saw where they were, they couldn't help looking at the corner of the room. The moment they touched the head hanging low behind the table, they took a few steps back as if they had been electrocuted. Under the flickering light, Doctor Chen's headless figure swayed on the wall as if he was going to come back to life.
Lin Sanjiu didn't seem to notice their emotions. She looked at the small fire in the basin and shook her head. "This pile of things can only burn for 30 minutes. For the next scene, we need to continue searching for things that can be burned."
"Did you put all the paper you took in there?" Ratface peeked into the bag beside her feet.
"I put half of it in there," Lin Sanjiu showed him the A4 paper bag, "Paper burns quickly. It's best to burn it together with other things."
"Since there's still light, let's search for something that can be burned," Eiderdown looked around and suggested, "There seems to be a lot of office stuff in this room."
"It's written on the wall. This is an office," Lin Sanjiu stood up from the fire and gestured for everyone to start moving, "There should be quite a lot of things that can be burned. Go and look for them."
Seeing that the materials that they had just obtained were immediately turned into a bright and reassuring fire, the crowd felt more at ease and dispersed in all directions. When Lin Sanjiu walked to the chair that she used previously, she looked up and saw that Guan Nan was still standing nervously in the fire. She smiled and asked, "Aren't you going to take anything that can be burned? You can't rely on others to light the fire. It's too risky for you, right? What if we need to do something in the dark? You have to be more careful. "
Guan Nan was stunned. He looked up at Lin Sanjiu and swept his gaze across the rest of the people in the room.
"You're right," Lin Sanjiu hesitantly walked to an office table and looked at it. She slowly put a few documents, a newspaper, and a disposable paper cup into a plastic bag. She smiled and said, "There's no harm in being careful. It's better to take something that can be used to light the fire.
Lin Sanjiu picked up a piece of paper from the chair and stood in the middle of the room. She looked around. When Eiderdown's gaze met hers, he nodded slightly.
The young lady walked a few steps to the other side of the room. Suddenly, she turned around and called out, "Wen Ya! Wen Ya! "
"What's up?" the young man with thin eyebrows and thin eyes asked in a deep voice.
"I … I found a lot of paper, but I don't dare to take it." Once Eiderdown said that, everyone in the room turned their attention to her. "You have guts. You're not afraid … Can you take it?"
"What?" Wen Ya didn't react for a moment, "You're afraid that it's media?"
"No," Eiderdown didn't dare to turn her head. She pointed behind her, "It's … it's Doctor Chen. Have you guys forgotten? Doctor Chen took a lot of paper from the hotel … Not only paper, I remember he also took some books, newspapers, and magazines. They can be burned for a long time. There's a hotel bag on the ground beside him. It's the one he brought with him … But I'm afraid. I don't dare to go over. "
She looked at Wen Ya and said, "You weren't afraid of corpses last time, right? Besides, you said that Doctor Chen's media is paper. It won't be dangerous for you to take it now. Why don't you go and help me take it? "
Eiderdown always sounded a little unconfident when she expressed her opinions. However, when she was asking for help, her unconfident attitude made it sound like she was genuinely uneasy. Even Lin Sanjiu felt that Eiderdown was very convincing.
Wen Ya looked around the room. His gaze swept across everyone's faces. Finally, he grunted and strode towards Doctor Chen's corpse. When he was about two to three steps away from Doctor Chen, he stopped, extended his arm and picked up the hotel bag from the ground.
"I did take it," he warned, probably because he was worried about Eiderdown, "I'm going to check the bag now. Don't talk until I'm done."
"I didn't even go near Doctor Chen!" Eiderdown protested. Seeing that the man's attitude was unpleasant, she shut her mouth.
When Wen Ya squatted down and opened the bag, Caveman and Ratface came forward. There was indeed a big stack of A4 papers, a pen, a bottle of mineral water, and some biscuits in the bag.
Just as Lin Sanjiu expected, Wen Ya didn't put the bag down even though he looked a little worried and hesitant. He also didn't warn the others not to talk to him anymore.
Lin Sanjiu stood by the fire. When Jiang Tian walked over with a thin stack of documents, Lin Sanjiu stopped her.
"This fire is enough," Lin Sanjiu explained, "Let's wait for the next scenario to burn the documents."
Jiang Tian was stunned.
"You can't burn it now?" Lin Sanjiu raised her eyebrows. She was aware of the risks involved. There were still about 20 minutes before the next scenario. If she couldn't burn the paper now, and the document was Lin Sanjiu's Media, she would be in danger for the next scenario.
"Don't worry," Lin Sanjiu raised her voice, "The documents aren't my media, and this scenario isn't my turf. In fact … "
She paused for a moment. She noticed that many people were looking at her. "I already know who the culprit is and what methods they used to secretly turn us into mouthpieces. Also, I know who killed Doctor Chen. "
Jiang Tian sucked in a breath of cold air. Hana slammed the drawer that she had just pulled out. She asked loudly, "You know everything? That's impossible, right? Who did it? Or are you trying to use this opportunity to spread the word 'Death Meh Orange'? "
Lin Sanjiu smiled faintly. She pulled a chair over and sat down.
"I suggest that from now on, everyone.
Don't move. This is because if we don't move, the culprit will not be able to move even if he wants to.
"Are you worried that I will spread the message? Now, every word that comes out of my mouth will be checked over and over again by all of you … It's not just me. Since we are on high alert, it's almost impossible for the media and the message to spread. However, these aren't the only two ways to obtain a mouthpiece. "
"What … What do you mean?" Roab stuttered.
"The key to winning this Pocket Dimension is not to spread the media and the message," Lin Sanjiu looked around the room and said slowly. Lin Sanjiu looked around the room and said slowly, "Because a person's vigilance increases very quickly, these two people will soon become targets that they will guard with all their might. The key to winning this Pocket Dimension lies in its name. "
"Name?" Jiang Tian mumbled.
"Have you guys forgotten?" Lin Sanjiu answered, "The name of this Pocket Dimension is not 'Battle for the Mouthpiece', but 'Battle for the Right to Speak'. If we want to win this Pocket Dimension, we need to fight for the right to speak. "
