"I'm bluffing?" The listless young man smiled, pulled out a Camel, and lit it. He then said to the middle-aged man who looked like an intellectual, "Speaking of which, you're the master of bluffing. You're the most suspicious person among us, but you gathered everyone together with a straight face. If I'm not mistaken, your results are the closest to that idiot named Anthony and that high school kid over there. The three of you are competing for the last spot. You killed one of them and increased your chances of getting into the top three. No matter how you look at it, it's reasonable."
"No, I'm sure I can get into the top three," the high school student defended himself, but he didn't sound too confident.
"Heh, it's that predestined circle again?" The listless young man snorted. "Forget it. You can't have an advantage in this quest just because you know a little bit about aerospace. Let's not talk about the lone wolf friend over there. I already got my private pilot's license in Australia three years ago." He then pointed at the middle-aged man who looked like an intellectual, "Research institute engineer, your theory is completely incomparable to his. In fact, even the guy who died is far ahead of you in physical training. With all due respect, you have almost no advantage in this competition. The first beneficiary of Anthony's death is the bespectacled friend, and the second is you."
The listless young man blew out a smoke ring, paused, and then said, "And to be honest, I don't know what's the point of such a meeting. Everyone wants everyone else to die. Now that someone is making a move, isn't it reasonable?"
"But the problem is that he can kill Anthony quietly today, and he can use the same method to kill us tomorrow. You don't want to sit on a Johnsville centrifuge and end up spinning faster and faster until your prostate and tonsils are thrown out, right?" the middle-aged man who looked like an intellectual said calmly.
"I … I have something to say," the high school student suddenly said.
"What is it?"
"Last night, I saw him leave his residence and sneak out of the space center," the high school student said, pointing at the listless young man.
"Last night?" The middle-aged man who looked like an intellectual raised his eyebrows. "It was already two o 'clock in the morning when we finished our third class." He turned his face to the young man. "Why didn't you seize the time to sleep then? Why did you go out?"
"That's my freedom. It has nothing to do with you," the listless young man shrugged.
"You can't tell us because you tampered with the Lunar Landing Training Vehicle during that time. We already knew about this week's training schedule a week ago. Although the Captain's roll call changes every time, it's always been regular. You should be the last one in line for this training."
The middle-aged man who looked like an intellectual pushed his glasses up his nose. "This training is dangerous in itself. Once the ejection fails, the only way to escape. You're not a targeted murder. Your goal is not Anthony. Anthony. you just wanted to use the Lunar landing training machine to kill a random person.. from.."
"Then we're back to the original question. Why did I do it? Why would I do that? I'm not pressured by my results. Why would I kill another player? "
"I don't know. Maybe you just want to eliminate the threat before the people behind you do anything to you. Or maybe you just want to cause chaos. After all, as you said, you don't look like much of a suspect at first. But …" The middle-aged man paused, turning to look at Jia Lai and Zhen Xiong. "This kind of random murder is more in line with your interests. You guys are the last in line. In theory, no matter who dies in front of you, it'll benefit you guys."
"That's a lot of people we have to kill," Zhen Xiong said. Zhen Xiong said, "Besides, I'm right behind Anthony. I've never passed any of my flying lessons. There's no way I'll be able to land that thing safely. If Anthony manages to land it, wouldn't I be digging my own grave?"
In order to protect his ally, the fat man, who had never dared to stir up trouble, mustered his courage and said to the middle-aged man, "If I remember correctly … you seem to have been paying attention to the weather for the past two days. The crash of the Lunar Landing Training Vehicle also has a lot to do with today's strong winds."
"That's great. In that case, apart from this lone wolf friend, all of us are suspects," the dispirited young man said, taking pleasure in the misfortune of others.
"I think … no one should be excluded," Jia Lai hesitated. Jia Lai hesitated for a moment, then said, "David's training results are the best. Although he doesn't have many reasons to kill, he's probably the most skilled killer among us. We can't rule out the possibility that someone bribed him with points or items to help kill Anthony."
He didn't say anything earlier, quietly listening to the other players. He could feel that the fat man was more aggressive than usual tonight. When he thought about what Zhen Xiong said earlier, he was the most likely suspect. The listless young man, on the other hand, was obviously a little uneasy after being exposed by the high school student for leaving the space center late at night. However, he quickly covered up his uneasiness with an indifferent tone.
On the other hand, the high school student also had a lot of questions. He was Anthony's direct competitor, and Zhang Heng also noticed a small detail. When the Lunar Landing Training Vehicle crashed, the high school student was the only one who didn't look too surprised. As for Zhen Xiong, Zhang Heng had always been wary of her. She was definitely not as fragile as she appeared to be. That was why Zhang Heng didn't let her into the room even though she was in a sorry state.
Lastly, there was the middle-aged man who looked like an intellectual. As usual, he tried his best to play the role of the leader of the team, meticulously analyzing the cause of Anthony's death. It seemed like he was worried about the safety of all the players, but in fact, he was always pointing his spear at the listless young man.
This time, no one knew what caused the Lunar Landing Training Vehicle's malfunction. NASA's experts soon arrived and conducted a psychological evaluation of the six people. The psychological evaluation was mainly to test if they had any negative emotions after witnessing the incident, and if these negative emotions would affect the subsequent mission.
To the captain's surprise, when he received the report, he found that the emotions of the six people miraculously didn't fluctuate much.
