Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

“Can someone explain this to me?” Xu Tong asked the others in the dining room after running up from the cellar. “What just happened?”

The female player who had been siding with Ma Zewen said in a trembling voice, “I… I don't know. He said he was a little hungry and wanted to come to the dining hall to get something to eat. Then I realized he hadn't come down for a while, so I came up to take a look and… and I found him hanging here!”

Ma Zewen preemptively seized the initiative, snatching the right to speak. “You should know that acting alone is very dangerous. Why did you let him go to a separate room by himself?”

The female player's body was still trembling slightly, and she looked very frightened. “I… I have my own reasons… I have my own things to do…”

Ma Zewen frowned. “Anyone can use the excuse that their ‘identity card has a corresponding task’ to get away with things. Since you said you have your own things to do, then tell me, what exactly is it that you have to do?”

The female player shook her head and said in a trembling voice, “I… I can't say. The contents of the instance dungeon already stated that we can't reveal anything about ourselves…”

Ma Zewen continued relentlessly, “Then I can only suspect that you killed him if you can't say anything useful.”

The female player was so scared that she didn't know what to say and could only turn her gaze to the other two people present.

Ji Sha hadn't said anything useful from beginning to end, and she turned her head away, not even daring to make eye contact with the female player.

She looked at Xu Tong, who curiously asked, “Why aren't you suspecting Jiang Bo at this time?”

Ma Zewen snorted coldly. “He's tied up in the woodshed. How could he have the opportunity to commit murder? Do you think I'm an idiot?”

Xu Tong's expression was solemn. “The word ‘think’ may not be very accurate.”

Ma Zewen: “I really want to kill you.”

After easing the atmosphere a bit, Xu Tong said, “In any case, Jiang Bo is here with you, so he should be cleared of suspicion, right? In that case, we should be able to bring Jiang Bo back and start the second meeting. I think the blizzard outside is almost over, so let's bring him back.”

This time, Ma Zewen didn't show such strong hostility towards Jiang Bo, as if he had really ruled out the possibility of him being the murderer.

“Okay, then let's bring him back.”

Xu Tong found Ma Zewen's obvious change in attitude rather strange.

Could it be that Ma Zewen's change in attitude was also related to his identity card's skill?

When the blizzard stopped, the group went to fetch new firewood and brought back Jiang Bo, who was frozen beyond recognition.

Although the woodshed wasn't directly hit by the blizzard, it was still not as good as the inside of the manor with a burning fireplace.

Staying in the blizzard for a few minutes would lead to death, but in the manor, that time was only extended by dozens of times. Sooner or later, they would still face the risk of freezing to death.

Therefore, as soon as he returned to the warm manor, Jiang Bo burst into curses.

“Damn it! I almost froze to death outside! Do you guys have any humanity?”

He sniffled and curled up. “Quickly pour me a cup of hot water, 62 degrees Celsius. I won't drink it if it's one degree more!”

Xu Tong and Ma Zewen: “You're so spoiled. Do you believe we'll kick you out right now?”

Jiang Bo's expression immediately returned to normal. “I heard someone died. Let me see what's going on.”

Saying that, he checked the situation upstairs with Ji Sha and returned to the first floor's hall.

The group gathered around the wooden table in the hall again, but this time, before Ma Zewen could seize the initiative, Jiang Bo slammed the table and snatched the right to speak. “I'll be direct now. I suspect Ma Zewen is the murderer. It's that simple.”

Ma Zewen frowned. “I'm the murderer? Did the blizzard damage your brain?”

“Whether my brain is damaged or not is obvious to everyone,” Jiang Bo sniffled. “From the beginning, you've been guiding others to vote me, a good person, into exile, while using your actions to induce others to suspect me. This way, you can kill two players at once.

“And this time, you know I can't continue to act, so in the second round, you shifted the target of guidance away from me and onto this female player. Your excessive actions, other than you being the murderer, I can only think of a second possibility.

“That is, you're an ally of the murderer, helping him attract everyone's attention.”

Jiang Bo crossed his arms and explained in a calm language, “But in any case, whether it's the murderer or the murderer's accomplice, voting you into exile will definitely benefit us. Therefore, I suggest exiling Ma Zewen.”

Ma Zewen was so angry that his face turned red. “What else do you want me to say? I said from the beginning that following my vote will definitely be no problem. My decision is definitely right. Why can't you understand human language?”

Jiang Bo glanced at him. “Then how am I supposed to judge that you're not the murderer? If you're the murderer, you'll definitely use any means to kill us. Do you think I don't understand this kind of thing?”

The two argued, each sticking to their own point, but the core argument was only one thing.

Was Ma Zewen actually the murderer?

Ji Sha naturally didn't have the opportunity to interject, and the female player, as one of the suspected targets, naturally didn't dare to speak.

Among those present, only Xu Tong had the opportunity to speak.

So, he clapped his hands, signaling the two to calm down.

“You two, stop arguing. If you keep arguing, I'll exile both of you!”

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Jiang Bo and Ma Zewen, but surprisingly, neither of them said anything.

They seemed to have already defaulted that as long as they could win Xu Tong's voting rights, it would be beneficial to them.

“Very good, since you're not talking, then I'll say a few words.”

Xu Tong cleared his throat and said, “First of all, let me state my attitude.

“My attitude is… I have no attitude. That's all.”

The entire hall fell into silence.

The frightened female player didn't understand what nonsense Xu Tong was talking about. Wasn't this just taking off your pants to fart?

But strangely, neither Ma Zewen nor Jiang Bo said anything at this time.

Both of them had surprised expressions, as if they were thinking about something in their hearts.

Then, they simultaneously revealed enlightened expressions.

Jiang Bo: “Yes, like Xu Tong, I have no attitude.”

Ma Zewen: “Me too. I think Xu Tong's ‘no attitude’ is my attitude.”

The female player revealed a confused expression.

What are you guys talking about?

I don't understand at all?

She looked at Xu Tong, whose eyes also revealed a hint of confusion.

Xu Tong: Wait a minute… I just didn't want you to continue arguing so aggressively.

What exactly did you guys understand?
