Chapter 29 My reasoning is foolproof
With the passage of time, the thunder became smaller and smaller, but the torrential rain not only did not seem to stop, but instead became heavier.
From the half-broken window on the east side of the lobby, large tracts of rainwater poured into the lobby from the outside, mixed with the mottled and unknown stains on the wall and the dust on the ground, forming a rather disgusting stream on the ground.
"This finger mark..."
Bai Zhi could not help frowning slightly when he used a flashlight to shine on the jet-black finger marks on Gentle Smile and Soft Heart's necks.
Compared with the timid Night Owl who had a petite, the intellectual girl Gentle Smile and Soft Heart who was wearing glasses and had a bookish charm was obviously much stronger in terms of courage. Although she had been attacked, she herself was very calm.
"I also didn't know what was going on. I just suddenly felt breathless for no reason. If it wasn't for Beard Guy that saved me, maybe I would have died there inexplicably at that time. Did you see something from my wound?"
Although the previous series of behavior of this player named Black and White was strange, the fact that the other party could come back intact with a burden obviously showed that he was stronger than their group.
As for why she felt that Night Owl was a burden... She could tell just by looking at the other party who was still holding the boombox and listening to a series of upbeat dance songs.
"Mhm... I can see it vaguely..."
Taking the flashlight away, Bai Zhi nodded affirmatively.
"The anomaly who attacked you before must be a male Resentful Spirit."
"You can see this just by looking at this finger mark?"
Standing by the side with his arms folded, Beard Guy was a little dissatisfied.
"I say it must be a female Resentful Spirit. After all, don't girls like to strangle people?"
"But girls love to be clean and will definitely wash their hands, so they won't be so dirty!!"
Someone had a righteous expression on his face.
Beard Guy: "???"
"When we checked the kitchen before, we found a dead person's head in the refrigerator. Black and White should be deduced from this clue. But in the other rooms after the kitchen, we did not find any other useful clues."
Holding the boombox in her arms tightly, Night Owl spoke timidly.
"The situation on our side was similar to yours. Under the bed in the master bedroom, Beard Guy and I found a severed hand, and nothing else was found."
Glancing at Night Owl with a little surprise, Gentle Smile and Soft Heart also said.
"I was attacked for some unknown reason when I was exploring in the toilet afterwards..."
"What about the details?"
Bai Zhi interrupted her.
"……What?"
"The windows of our room are all nailed with black wooden planks, and the mirror is also covered with large unidentified stains. Is it the same on your side?"
"Indeed it is."
After thinking for a while, Gentle Smile and Soft Heart nodded.
"Then what were you doing before you were attacked?"
"Uh… because I had a spider web stuck to my face when I was looking for some clues at the master bedroom earlier, so I want to look in the mirror and see… the mirror?"
Gentle Smile and Soft Heart suddenly froze there.
"It's not just a mirror, it should be all reflective objects."
While stuffing popcorn into his mouth, Bai Zhi replied casually.
"If you are reflected by a reflective object, you will be attacked. This should be the condition for the Resentful Spirit to attack people... This is the first puzzle we solved, and if we look carefully, we can easily get the answer. "
"The first one... Is there a second one... Wait, where did you get the popcorn?"
Night Owl was a little stunned.
"This is a must-have artifact for watching movies. I also stuffed a small bench and some bricks in my backpack."
Putting the popcorn in his hand into Night Owl's hand, Bai Zhi stood up from the sofa.
"Assuming that you will be attacked by the Resentful Spirit when you see a reflective object is correct, combined with the corpse fragments we have found one after another... Mhm, let's wait until all the puzzle pieces are found and then decide. But now, I have a question."
Bai Zhi solemnly stretched out two fingers in front of him.
"Since it's a question, why do you want to... forget it. What's that question?"
Gentle Smile and Soft Heart, who realized that she would probably lose her mind if they paid attention to those trivial details, changed the subject decisively.
"It's very simple. How did Beard Guy save you?"
Bai Zhi turned to look at Beard Guy with a slightly unnatural look on his face.
"Everyone in the rookie mission is a rookie. Under the premise that you are attacked by the Resentful Spirit in the mirror, I don't think he can save you as an ordinary person. If so, then this rookie mission will be too easy. It will not be challenging enough."
"I……"
"How is it easy!!"
Before Beard Guy could speak, Night Owl started complaining with some dissatisfaction while hugging her precious boombox.
"On the premise that you will be attacked if you accidentally see a reflective object, this place is full of dangers!! Water will reflect light, so will the phone screen, and you can see your own reflections in the glass when lightning flashes… Under the premise of not realizing this at all, it is very possible our entire group will be wiped out, so how is this not challenging enough!!"
"So the hints have already been given. Didn't you see the black wooden planks nailed to the windows? The mirror was also smeared by large unidentified stains, so the hints are actually quite obvious."
Bai Zhi pouted to show his disdain.
"Even if you didn't deduce this, you'd be more careful about this anomaly, right?"
"Then what does this have anything to do with Beard Guy..."
"This is a novice survival type mission. We have to survive for six hours until dawn. Since we will be attacked by the Resentful Spirit in the reflection, can't we sit on the sofa the whole time and survive these six hours?”
“Don’t be ridiculous. Maybe when the time is almost up, all restrictions on that Resentful Spirit will be lifted and we will all be killed."
"Then we should find all the corpse fragments in the house and help him rest in peace. Anyway, that's how it is played in the movie."
Gentle Smile and Soft Heart reached out and pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose.
"If we are careful enough to avoid those reflective places, we should still be able to... Can you turn off the sound?"
After the complexion suddenly changed back and forth several times, Gentle Smile and Soft Heart finally turned her head and spoke to Night Owl beside them amid the upbeat dance music.
Oh, by the way, the whole dialogue that happened above all happened in the soundtrack of a series of remix dance songs such as Spooky Scary Skeletons (Remix).
Beard Guy silently stretched out his hand and pressed his leg to stop it from moving with the beat.
