So Mu Qin was finally convinced that it was indeed the nervous reaction of the corpse, so he stood up and said to Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu: "The killer's footprints passed to the back courtyard, while he caught the female teacher. Gap, let’s go to the chapel to search."
At this time, Cheng Guoxu rarely spoke, and his tone trembled a little inexplicably: "Do you care about that woman?"
Qiu Zijia said anxiously: "Just take care of it! We can't protect ourselves, how can we take care of others!"
This behavior is cruel, but Qiu Zijia's behavior is heartless at first glance, and Mu Qin is not a kind person.
Mu Qin was trained by instructors to be calm and comprehend when he was serving in the army, and to see the situation clearly before acting. Even if the best companion was abused and killed by the enemy in front of his own eyes, he would wait calmly, weigh his own abilities and think about it. Whether you can save people or not, you must not lose your judgment on the situation because of impulse.
This teaching was regarded as truth by Mu Qin, and Mu Qin has been carrying out this truth after leaving the army.
So after a moment of thinking, Mu Qin said: "The risk of saving Han Li is too great. We don't have weapons, and you don't have any fighting ability except me. And...now it is obvious that the killer is Xu Fu. After all, the three of us are here, and we haven’t done anything extra. The last person who didn’t show up is now dead. Han Li has been taken away, so only Xu Fu is left."
Speaking of Mu Qin, he also recalled: "Xu Fu's physique is the best among us. I predict that his height is 1.8/9 meters, and his weight is about 85 kilograms. He may hold a handful of length. The short knife, which is about 30 centimeters in length, has excellent response and strength."
"Xu Fu was a murderer before, and he has more experience than us in this game. He is definitely not weak in psychological quality and will not be easily confused by words or traps. We have no possibility of defeating him, recklessly save People will just take all of us in."
Mu Qin’s analysis put a lot of pressure on Qiu Zijia. Qiu Zijia took a cold breath and said: "I knew it was the murderer, and he looked fierce at first sight!"
Mu Qin didn't speak, he still frowned, always feeling something was wrong.
If the killer is really Xu Fu, why did the other party deliberately separate from them in the first place? Wouldn't it be better to stay with them all the time? Pretend to accompany them to find the key to the orphanage, and then kill them one by one when they are exhausted, and ensure that the key to the exit can be in their hands, so that the probability of all fugitives succeeding in escape will be reduced lowest.
Mu Qin couldn't think of it, so he decided to temporarily abandon these complicated thinking and adopt an adaptable mode of action. He led Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu towards the chapel opposite the apartment building.
Now the rain is getting heavier, and the blood stains left by the deceased in the courtyard were quickly washed away by the rain. This storm came at a bit out of time.
Walking across the courtyard to the steps of the chapel, Mu Qin’s clothes were completely soaked by rain. The temperature in this orphanage was very low. Mu Qin felt that the outdoor temperature was only about ten degrees Celsius. The group only wore thin gray shirts and trousers. Not only could they not keep warm, they also had a lower body temperature because of getting wet.
The cold caused Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu to tremble endlessly. Mu Qin's cold tolerance was good. After all, he had been in the army and during the five years of service, Mu Qin once had the memory of training in thin clothes outside below zero. .
However, after looking at Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu, who were frozen into a sieve, Mu Qin said: "Hurry up and enter the church. You can't get any more rain."
After that, a few people hurriedly pushed open the door of the church...It was the mahogany door carved with snakes and crosses and composed of colorful diamond-shaped glass.
The door is very large and heavy. Mu Qin is glad that it is not locked and can be pushed open slowly by pushing hard, but the worst thing is that the door also made a loud noise during the process of pushing the door. , Although on a rainy night with splashes, no matter what kind of noise can be easily covered by the sound of rain hitting the ground.
Mu Qin just pushed the door open a small gap for one person to pass, and then greeted Qiu Zijia and others to go in one by one.
When they entered this small church in the orphanage, Muqin and others began to look around the inside of the church.
Because it is only a small church, the internal space of the church is relatively small, but it also has a clear western style. There are rows of bench seats for the believers to rest. There is a small stage and a huge wall hanging on the background wall of the stage. The statue of **** on the cross is decorated with stained glass next to it.
On the ceiling hangs a very huge and luxurious silver chandelier. It is a European-style candle chandelier. There is a sharp inverted triangle-shaped load-bearing structure in the middle. There is a circle of small lampstands like extended branches on the small lampstand. Can put candles. This kind of chandelier has a lifting function, and it is hung with iron chains. The clergy can put down the chandelier, place a pure white candle on the lampstand, and then lift the chandelier up after it is lit.
Before Europe had not invented the electric light, everyone used this kind of candle lamp. A candle was placed on a simple lampstand. In order to prevent the wind from blowing out the flame, occasionally a candle was placed on it. Transparent cover. Most of the time, they don't even need a lampstand, just putting a candle on the table is enough.
Of course, this is just the way of the poor. The extravagant and indulgent European aristocrats like to use sterling silver to create gorgeous and exquisite silver lampstands, and then put candles on them. They made the lighting tools into an ornamental ornate effect, and then they felt that the room would not be bright and luxurious enough if they only put the lamp on the table, so they made the lampstand bigger and hung it on the ceiling with a chain. This is also the origin of the candle chandelier.
The candle chandelier in modern society basically only has the shape of a candle. In fact, the light bulb is made into a flame-like shape and hung at home to make a beautiful picture.
However, Muqin found that the candle chandelier in this small church is very traditional and can only light candles. Although it is indeed exquisite and beautiful, it also adds a lot of inconvenience. Electric lights can be used in the dark. It lights up instantly, but this traditional candle chandelier doesn't work.
Fortunately, there are other lighting lamps in the church, such as wall lamps. The wall lamps are really serious electric lights, but there seems to be a lot of bulbs broken. After Muqin fumbled for the switch, it could only be turned on. Two, the whole chapel is too dim.
"It's too dark." Qiu Zijia wanted to search this small church, but the darkness prevented him from exploring. When he tripped over the raised wooden planks on the ground for the third time, he said to Mu Qin , "Can't we think of a way to get a flashlight first?"
Mu Qin didn’t reply. He walked to the stage of the chapel. There were dark red curtains on both sides of the stage. Behind the curtains were some cabinets for storing tools. These cabinets were basically used to store the Bible, The cross and other props needed for prayer.
After the orphanage was abandoned, the contents of these damaged cabinets were basically emptied. Only in one of the small cabinets, Muqin found a Bible that seemed to be cut off by a sharp weapon, and it was still stained on it. Black stains.
Mu Qin flipped through the half of the Bible with the dim light source. The Bible was still in English. The densely packed letters were arranged in front of Mu Qin. Mu Qin couldn't understand it. After turning two pages, he threw it away. Again.
Then Mu Qin continued to look through the cabinet. In the last cabinet, Mu Qin finally found what he needed, a few yellow candles of different lengths, and a box of used matches, plus two The candlestick is placed in this last cabinet.
"So there will be a light." Muchin took out the candlestick, picked out a good looking candle, and lit it with a match.
Just now, Muqin was thinking when he saw the candle chandelier on the ceiling. Since there are such ancient things in this small church, he will naturally prepare candles, matches, etc. accordingly.
Soon, the small light source of the candle successfully lit up the area around Muchin, and Muchin took it to illuminate part of the dark place in the chapel.
The firelight in Mu Qin's hand attracted Cheng Guoxu and Qiu Zijia. After the two said a few words, they went to the cabinet to find a candle to light it. The three people with the light source began to explore in this small church. Although it is a small church, there are many hidden mysteries. First of all... they noticed that the church has a second floor.
There is a second floor in the church, but the stairs leading to the second floor collapsed. I don't know why. There are only some faults on the stairs, and the collapsed ruins are still piled up in the corner of the stairwell. If he wanted to go to the second floor, Mu Qin had to find chairs and other objects to pile up and climb up, but doing so was too time-consuming. Mu Qin and others gave up this move after thinking about it.
"Come and see! There are a lot of blood here!" Then, Qiu Zijia found a row of badly damaged benches in the church, which seemed to have been violently damaged by someone. The entire bench was torn apart, and wooden boards and nails were scattered. On the ground, Qiu Zijia noticed a lot of blood stains remaining on these wooden boards.
Mu Qin walked over and glanced at it. The blood stains were still fresh, but they had slowly begun to solidify. Immediately after Mu Qin found that these blood stains extended all the way to the door of the church, he realized something, Mu Qin said in a tone of anxiety, "It seems that this is the first scene."
Qiu Zijia immediately understood and said in horror: "You mean, the dead man we saw just now was attacked here?"
"It should be the case. He was attacked here, and then ran away." Muqin said, raising the candlestick in his hand and walking to the door of the chapel. When they just came in, the surrounding was too dark. Nothing was found, the door was also stained with blood.
"I have a bad premonition, I think we should leave here as soon as possible?" Qiu Zijia saw so much blood on the ground and on the door, she couldn't help but began to tremble.
Mu Qin said: "Don't worry, this is a good opportunity, we should take advantage of the killer not coming for a while, and search here as soon as possible."
Qiu Zijia said: "But the killer cooking female teacher shouldn't take long, what if you come back later?"
"He doesn't necessarily know that we are here." Muqin glanced out through the glass window next to him and judged, "There is still heavy rain outside. The sound of rain and the rain will remove our traces. This will It makes the killer lose his judgment and gives us more time to explore."
Zhou Yue smiled when he said this, or it can be called a smirk. His attitude is very serious. He seems to have such a consciousness... the consciousness of becoming a murderer like an executioner. Because of this awareness, he can give up his principles and beliefs without scruple.
"What is the standard for the game system to kill you? If you don't kill everyone, you will die, or do you only need to kill some people? And... If you didn't kill people, how will the system determine?" Mu Qin I want to know this specifically.
Zhou Yue's simple answer: "I will die if there are less than two. Exactly two are up to the standard, but I don't have any reward points to get. If people die but I didn't do it, then I can only count as half of me. Personal head."
Mu Qin felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this, and bit his lower lip: "This is forcing you to kill."
"The system forces me to kill people, but you don’t have to." Zhou Yue seemed to be indicating to Mu Qin something, "I don’t want you to betray others to help me. Mu Qin, if you feel uncomfortable, please In the next time, do your best to help your teammates and stop me."
Mu Qin didn't speak. He fixed his eyes on Zhou Yue and looked at him for a while. He hesitated for a long time. Finally, he sighed silently and said to Zhou Yue: "I understand, no matter what, I will wait after the separation. See you again and I won’t recognize you again."
"That's it." Zhou Yue said softly and gently, "Take me as an enemy, Mu Qin, I don't mind, but I like you, I...love you very much."
Mu Qin couldn't continue listening to Zhou Yue. He turned his head and walked quickly out of this small and empty room, and left the room where Zhou Yue was there.
When Mu Qin left, Zhou Yue watched him go out. When Zhou Yue couldn’t see Mu Qin’s back at all, Zhou Yue lowered his head and continued to play with his death card, which was disguised as a fool’s card. Then he suddenly disappeared. I took out another tarot card in my pocket, and when I looked closely, I found that the tarot card that Zhou Yuexin took out was a dirty-looking card, and the card face was against the Fool. This card was from the previous Han After Li was thrown away, Zhou Yue picked it up.
Then Muqin walked to the stairwell on the third floor and quickly went downstairs. When going down the stairs, he did not deliberately lower the sound of his footsteps, but went downstairs quickly, so he quickly I met someone who made a noise just downstairs.
As Mu Qin expected, it was Xu Fu.
Xu Fu seems to have come to the infirmary on the first floor of the apartment building to find some medicine. His leg was injured as Muqin expected. He seemed to have clamped it with a wooden board. Now it is wrapped in white. Bandage.
When Mu Qin and Xu Fu met, Xu Fu just walked out of the infirmary. He may have noticed the intricate blood stains all over the floor, and the interior of the infirmary that was turned over, and heard Mu Qin go downstairs. With the rush of footsteps, Mu Qin didn't know what Xu Fu thought in his heart. What Mu Qin was thinking about was Zhou Yue who was still upstairs.
Mu Qin thought of what the other party said when he and Zhou Yue were parting, and forced himself to calm down after taking a deep breath. At this time, Mu Qin had to pretend that he had never seen Zhou Yue and didn’t know the identity of Zhou Yue’s killer. At this time, Mu Qin always thought that Xu Fu was the killer, so...
