Chapter 423

One day, just one day. Yesterday, when Hilles admitted that he was the murderer and the old butler didn't allow a murder to take place, someone had already planned and prepared for this murder!

It was even possible that this person had been preparing for the murder even earlier, but he was just waiting for a corpse to appear!

Whether it was the explosion in the living room or the zombie, from the start when the sound was concealed to attracting the attention of the audience, etc., it all showed that this was a meticulously planned murder!

With his neck strangled, Su Bai could no longer breathe. His lungs felt as if they were on fire, and his consciousness was constantly weakening.

Lack of oxygen.

When one's body was turned into an ordinary person's, it was only at this moment that one could deeply understand how weak one was at the moment.

In terms of pure strength, it was very difficult to defeat a zombie. Moreover, Su Bai's kitchen knife couldn't even penetrate the zombie's body. At this moment, when everyone in the audience had become ordinary people, using a zombie as a murder tool was like releasing a wolf into a flock of sheep.

Su Bai knew that death here wasn't the end, or else Hilles wouldn't be so calm. However, if he was killed by a zombie just like that, and Hilles had just left, then he would probably be laughed to death by that b * tch Hilles.

Two advanced listeners were eliminated one after another, it was simply a disgrace to the advanced listeners!

Simon's eyes didn't show any signs of pupils, as if they were covered by a black fog. However, Su Bai knew that zombies had spirits.

Zombies were a unique life form born from the dead. To others, zombies were dirty and the symbol of disaster, but to Su Bai, zombies were very familiar.

At the very least, Su Bai, who had the bloodline of both the vampire and zombie races, would never allow himself to die in the hands of a low-level zombie, even if he was now an ordinary person.

Su Bai's eyes were fixed on Simon's black eye sockets. At the same time, Su Bai began to silently call out to him in his heart …

It was true that ordinary people were ordinary people, but just like how Simon's zombie appeared, the listener here was able to create a zombie even though he was an ordinary person. This meant that even if the listener was an ordinary person, he was only an ordinary person in terms of body and soul, but in many other aspects, he was still different from ordinary people.

Su Bai was a zombie himself, so he could understand zombies.

In this simple environment, refining a dead person into a zombie in such a short time naturally couldn't rely on high-end magic tools or runes. It should be the most primitive method.

Zombies were a kind of strange creature that was formed by gathering the resentment of heaven and earth. However, the real source of zombies was actually the dead person himself.

Simon was resentful because he was the first to die. As a listener, he was the first target. Moreover, Simon didn't know that Bick, who killed him, was a high-level listener. Therefore, Simon had a lot of resentment when he died. It was a kind of trampling on his pride, because choosing him meant that the murderer thought that he was the weakest one.

"Simon, Simon, I know you're not satisfied with your death. I know you feel wronged in your death. I know you're resentful …"

Su Bai slowly searched for that feeling in his heart.

He slowly tried to communicate with the other person.

His repeated calls did not seem to get the slightest response from Simon, but Su Bai did not give up. Before he felt that he was really going to faint from being strangled, he suddenly shouted in his heart, "Hey, Simon!"

"Since you're already dead, are you still willing to become someone else's tool to help them gain benefits?!"

"Hum!"

Su Bai felt Simon's body suddenly tremble. A faint green light flashed in his dark eye sockets. At the same time, the hands that were strangling Su Bai's neck slowly lost their strength.

Su Bai took a deep breath. At this moment, he finally realized the wonderful feeling that fresh air could bring.

The faint green light that flashed in Simon's eye sockets, in Su Bai's opinion, was a disguised awakening of Simon's self-awareness. As long as it was a living creature, even if it was a flower or a tree, it would have its own spirituality.

At this moment, Su Bai spread his hands and continued to grasp that feeling. He began to "guide" Simon patiently.

Su Bai did not know how to refine zombies. He did not even know how to control zombies. However, he had the ability to communicate with zombies, just like how Gongye Zhang was able to communicate with birds in history. This was because Su Bai understood zombies and zombies. He was also a member of zombies.

Simon stood up. His body was still stiff. The green light in his eye sockets flickered. This meant that his self-awareness was fighting with the consciousness that was controlling him.

Su Bai got up. Without hesitation, he opened the bedroom door and ran out. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Only now did Su Bai realize that he had underestimated this group of people. Their murderous schemes and schemes had almost refreshed all of Su Bai's previous predictions when the zombie appeared.

When Su Bai was about to reach the staircase, he bumped into the old butler who had just come upstairs. The old butler did not greet Su Bai. He directly walked past Su Bai and entered Su Bai's room.

The old butler was an NPC here. Su Bai did not believe that the old butler was helping him kill monsters. He also did not believe that the old butler would take special care of him. Since the old butler went to his bedroom, it was obvious that he was going to get rid of the zombie.

This meant that someone had died just now.

Therefore, the old butler had to get rid of the zombie first in order to ensure that no accidents would happen to the remaining survivors during the next day's investigation and voting.

As for how the old butler would deal with Simon, Su Bai did not care. He walked to the staircase and saw five people standing in the living room. A charred corpse was carried out and placed on a piece of white cloth.

This must be the corpse.

Wait a minute, Su Bai suddenly frowned. Could it be that the explosion wasn't to cover up the sound of the zombie breaking the window?

But why did the two sounds happen together? The zombie seemed to be certain that there would be an explosion.

Su Bai would never believe that it was a coincidence.

Then, the biggest possibility was that the murderer planned two simultaneous murders. It was as if he wanted to kill at least one person!

This murderer's methods were ruthless and his killing intent was even higher than Hilles'.

Su Bai walked down the stairs. The five people in the living room were: Chen Ming, Lucy, Xu Gang, Diana, and Montari.

Among the previous nine, the ones who were killed and punished were Simon and Bick, which meant the charred body in front of them should be Zhao Rui's.

"She just breathed her last, with severe burns. She wasn't dead when we came down from the explosion, but she couldn't speak or move, so she didn't leave behind any information." Diana said.

Obviously, Diana meant that Zhao Rui did not identify the murderer during the period of time when she was on the verge of death because of the severe burns. In fact, Zhao Rui herself might not know who the murderer was. However, according to the greatest viciousness of human nature, it should be that Zhao Rui really could not move or had even lost consciousness at that time, leaving only a little bit of bodily activity. Otherwise, a person who was murdered and on the verge of death could easily identify a murderer and drag most of the people down with her to be punished.

This was the conclusion Su Bai came to. Su Bai rejoiced. Rejoiced that when Zhao Rui wasn't dead, he was fighting for her life.

Su Bai believed that if Simon had killed him, the old steward would've appeared in the living room with the best, best, and heaven-defying healing medicine to save Zhao Rui's life. This was because the old steward wouldn't allow another person to die in the next twenty-four hours.

This game had its own rhythm. It was a game of small fry and not a big mess.

"You're injured." Chen Ming pointed at Su Bai, "Did you suffer an attack?"

Chen Ming knew that Su Bai was the last one to arrive. No one here would believe that Su Bai didn't hear the explosion because he was in a deep sleep. Moreover, Su Bai's injuries were so obvious.

The old steward appeared like a ghost and handed a bottle of ointment to Su Bai.

Su Bai sniffed it and asked, "Is this for treating corpse poison?"

In the past, Su Bai didn't have to worry about corpse poison since he was a zombie. But now that his body was injured by a zombie, it would be troublesome if he didn't take care of it.

"Yes." The old steward answered, then stood to the side.

He was someone who looked at the big picture, but he wouldn't divulge a single useful word.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think anyone will be able to sleep tonight. Our time is limited, and the old steward just said that the voting deadline is tomorrow at this time. Therefore, all of us, excluding the murderer, must seize the time to investigate. Let's follow the previous arrangement …"

"Wait …"

Su Bai interrupted Diana's words, and everyone looked at Su Bai in astonishment.

Su Bai turned to the old steward and asked:

"Old Butler, I'd like to ask, if someone commits suicide, and the surviving person finds another person as a scapegoat, after this person leaves this world, does that count as winning the game?"

The old steward's eyes narrowed, as if considering whether his answer would affect the fairness of the game. But he was clear that his existence was first to maintain the game, and second to explain the rules. So, he had to explain and answer Su Bai's question.

"Yes."
