Chapter 944: Chapter 894: Afterlife Apartments, Free Utilities and Half-Price Rent
"Is it a group of Chess Players or four groups of Chess Players?" Anzhi Tianlan analyzed the identities of the people in the darkness in her mind.
She thought that the male and female voice discussing Gu Mian just now should be pieces from Group One and Group Four, because these two pieces share a small amount of time on the chessboard when they are together, allowing them to recognize each other and act confidently together when darkness falls.
By using the method of elimination to rule out those who have died and those whose identities have been confirmed, only Chess Players from Group One and Group Four remain undefined.
The person she met now and the one she encountered earlier should be the Chess Players from Group One and Group Four respectively. If nothing else, the Chess Players from these two groups indeed exhibit similar traits, both careful to avoid making any sounds in the darkness and entirely concealing their positions.
Of course, she herself was the same.
Anzhi Tianlan smiled silently in the darkness, it seems all the Chess Players have common strengths, except for the one from Group Two.
No one knew how long they would hold such a stalemate, as wild beasts in the forest won’t easily engage in a fight unless it’s for food, knowing that once injured, it would be difficult to hunt for food with a cumbersome injured body in this harsh environment, ultimately leading them to a dead end.
Humans are the same logic.
Except for people like Gu Mian who disregard the rules, normally people won’t suddenly attack others for no reason without any conflict of interest.
Opposite was someone smart who wouldn’t do meaningless things.
Just then, Anzhi Tianlan suddenly heard footsteps coming from the other side.
Leaving? She listened in bewilderment to the increasingly distant footsteps, not expecting the opponent to expose their position and leave so easily.
"A smart woman I don’t know." 007 thought as she left.
Although she hadn’t explicitly asked what happens if Gu Mian stays in a room for over ten minutes, 007 was already prepared for any unexpected changes.
Originally thought there might be an earthquake or the instance would directly eject them, but didn’t expect such a situation.
Not only the light disappeared, but the walls separating the rooms and the ghosts within also vanished, leaving only an empty darkness in this place.
was originally heading towards the direction of the initial room of Group Three, curious about who the Chess Player in Group Three was and wanting to confirm if it was Renle Mountain.
But while walking, she collided with a woman, a quiet, clever woman, who knew how to hide her sounds in the darkness to not attract the attention of other players, remaining calm and silent even after the collision.
"Not someone from Group Two"—007 immediately made this judgment upon understanding the opponent’s style.
She knew plenty due to the group chats, Gu Mian happened to know both the Chess Player and the surviving piece from Group Four, who were two men, so they were excluded.
Also wasn’t Liu Ruyan, as she somewhat knew Liu Ruyan, the individual she bumped into didn’t match Liu Ruyan either by physique or manner.
By excluding Liu Ruyan, Group Two, Group Four, and the deceased individuals, the person before 007 was only likely to be the Chess Player from Group Three.
The Chess Player from Group Three was a woman, not Renle Mountain...
Upon realizing this, 007 sighed in her heart and left without looking back.
"Hey?" Fatty, who constantly monitored the group chats in the apartment, suddenly voiced his confusion.
"What’s wrong?" came the Fortune-teller’s voice from the sofa next to him.
Lu Yi also turned his head to look over.
After Gu Mian, Liu Ruyan, and 007 were pulled into the instance, Lu Yi stayed here waiting for their return.
Fatty, however, following Gu Mian’s instructions, went downstairs to check on Xie Bi’an, running into Chu Changge while doing so.
Xie Bi’an and Chu Changge had an undetermined conversation before Fatty arrived, the atmosphere between them was somewhat off, seemingly about to break into a scuffle at any moment.
Fatty thought this wouldn’t do; although Brother Chu wasn’t a trained maniac, Xie Bi’an was still a patient in a weakened state, another punch might send him knocking on heavens’ door.
Thinking of this, Fatty quickly appeased and persuaded Chu Changge to go back upstairs, while also taking the Fortune-teller with him and requesting him to help divine the Evil God’s location for Gu Mian inside the instance.
The Fortune-teller expressed being separated by heaven and earth from Gu Mian, effectively unable to cook without ingredients, but he could pray for Gu Mian in his heart.
Seeing the Fortune-teller couldn’t help, Fatty kept his effort in continuously observing the dynamics of the group chat diligently.
Just then, he noticed the nicknames of Gu Mian, Liu Ruyan, and 007 all turned grey in the group chat.
He went out to check the friend list and found that the nicknames of the three turned grey there too.
This was similar to the situation when Gu Mian was pulled into Paradise World earlier, the names greying out but the people still present.
Having experienced this situation several times, Fatty no longer felt much disturbance, knowing probably the Evil God pulled everyone together for some class reunion.
But while flipping through his friend list, he found another person’s nickname had turned grey.
"Energetic Guiguzi." He met this person during the large lantern festival event, Fatty still recalled him, and remembered he was accompanied by a man whose temperament was very similar to Chu Changge, called Han Shan.
Back then, Fatty added these two along with their teammates to his friend list, but recently when checking the list, he noticed the "Han Shan" name had disappeared, knowing the other person likely had died.
