Although four people had died, and Zheng Ming had not shown up all day, and even lunch and dinner were brought to the room by Tian Rongjun, everyone's mood was still stable. They believed that Zheng Ming would soon find out who the judge was.

But night is coming, which means two more people are going to die.

After finishing dinner in a hurry, everyone wanted to go back to their rooms, but they felt unsafe and worried that they would die quietly without even a chance to struggle.

Time will not slow down because of everyone's emotions. Soon the clock reaches 6:55 in the evening and everyone has to go back to their respective rooms.

------------------

Room 7

Zhang Wen huddled on the bed, his body shaking involuntarily. He heard a saying today:

The cause of death was the nursery rhyme. The four people who died before were killed by the judge at night because they did what was mentioned in the nursery rhyme.

Today’s death conditions are:

"Eight little soldiers, traveling to Devon; lingering around, only seven of eight are left."

Today, I and my companions just went to the south shore of the island during the day, where we wanted to find out if there was a way to leave the island.

People died every day on the island, and everyone else had their own thoughts. He thought that if he could leave the island, he might be fine.

Especially Zheng Ming, he heard that last night Zheng Ming told the young man who died in Room 4 not to sleep at night, to be careful that the judge kills people while they are asleep.

As a result, the young man died today, so what Zheng Ming said last night was basically asking the young man to die. He himself did not go out today, which shows that he clearly knew that the people who went out today might die, so he just asked everyone to die.

But he didn't dare to say it, worried that Zheng Ming would kill him first. He didn't expect that after reading so many books, he was still such a person who was afraid of death. Even if he didn't tell everyone, he should remind Fang Yi that that child was so

It's pitiful, without my own care later, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive in this dungeon.

However, now that he is going to die first, he is still caring about other people! No, no, he may not die either.

Zhang Wen remembered that the rumor not only related death to nursery rhymes, but also mentioned the second rule:

If someone dies that day, the judge will not hold a trial at night.

Zhang Wen thought about it, this means that if I kill someone before the judge comes, then I don’t have to die tonight!

Thinking about this, Zhang Wen turned his attention to his teammate on the bed next to him. He was an old and frail old man. In addition to the old people and children in this batch of dungeons, the only young people left were Zheng Ming and one other person. If he could think of a way

, fully capable of killing most people.

But if you do this, what's the difference between you and Zheng Ming?

If you kill him, you can live. Who knows if he wants to kill me too, I am just taking the first strike and protecting myself. Zhang Wen comforted himself.

His teammates noticed Zhang Wen's gaze and looked up. Zhang Wen quickly lowered his head and pretended to be in a daze.

"If it's really the two of us who are going to die tonight," his teammate licked his dry lips and said.

"Why don't you kill me first so that you can live on."

"!" Zhang Wen looked up in surprise, not expecting his teammates to say this.

"I'm not kidding, I know I'm older and won't survive long even if I go out to the dungeon." The voice sounded like dry wood scratching the ground.

"You are younger than me. If we are both going to die, it would be better for one of us to die."

Zhang Wen thought fiercely in his heart, what inexplicable kindness is there? Does he need the old man's charity to survive? Such a person must be so useless, what's the point of living?

"We are not the only ones going out. It's just that we walked the farthest, so it's not necessarily us!" Zhang Wen turned over, but even he didn't believe what he said. The expressions other people looked at him tonight

It's like looking at a dead person.

"If it's really the two of us, kill me and live on." The old man seemed to have spent a lot of determination to say such words. After saying that, he closed his eyes, turned over, turned his back to Zhang Wen, and said no more.

"Tick tock, tick tock."

Outside the house, a dark cloud slowly covered the moon, and the entire island fell into darkness, with only a few scattered lights still stubbornly supporting it.

------------------

The fourth day, living room

"The two people in Room 7 are missing."

"Two?" Wen Ruo took a piece of sandwich, opened it, and spread a layer of salad dressing on the middle. He lowered his eyes and thought about how two people died. Judge, you are a smart man. You should know that one person died last night.

It would be better if two people died.

"Yes, both of them disappeared, and their bodies were not found. They seemed to have disappeared out of thin air." Xu Qi also picked up an egg and peeled it slowly.

"Oh." Wen Ruo nodded, put aside the doubts in his heart, and devoted himself to breakfast.

Xu Qi looked at the others and learned that the two people in Room 7 were missing and there was no body.

The first reaction of everyone was to be glad that it was not them who died last night, and then they no longer cared about this matter. Instead, they became more and more eager to hope that Zheng Ming could find the judge.

"Why, are you disappointed with other people's insensitivity?" Wen Ruo finished finishing a sandwich and poured himself a cup of coffee.

"I can understand their fear of losing their lives, but I still can't accept it. Everyone has become numb to the death of the people around them so quickly, even though they were still the same people sitting and eating together a few days ago." Xu Qi said tangledly.

"Of course, I'm not asking each of them to grieve for the deceased. That's unrealistic."

"But," Xu Qi tugged on his hair, "I can't tell. I just feel so cruel."

"Existence is inherently cruel. Look, the two people opposite us," Wen Ruo picked up the coffee and said to Xu Qi under the cover of drinking coffee.

"The two of them are obviously teammates, but they are so far apart, and judging from their body movements, they are obviously wary of each other."

"Maybe, tonight, one of them will be tempted to take action."

Xu Qi followed Wen Ruo's instructions and looked over, took a quick glance and continued to peel his own eggs, lowered his head and said:

"It's the person from room 8."

Breakfast time is over. Except for Zheng Ming and the other four, the remaining 10 people are here. They look at each other and know that the other party already knows the death triggering conditions. Today's conditions are:

"Seven little soldiers raised their axes to chop firewood; they accidentally chopped off their heads, leaving only six out of seven."

Sitting there with nothing to do except daze, Wen Ruo turned around and suggested to Xu Qi.

"I didn't move all day yesterday and I got a little bored. Let's go out for a walk."

This sentence was not hidden, everyone heard it.

"Okay," Xu Qi nodded in agreement and said to the others

"Well everyone, let's go to the island first and see if we can find any clues." After saying that, he stood up and left with Wen Ruo.

The others looked at each other and expressed their plans one after another.

"I'm a little sleepy and want to go back to the room and take a nap first."

"Me too."

"I'm a little bored too. Let's go out and look for clues."

"I just ate too much and I don't want to move for the moment."

Everyone began to become active and went to their own destinations. No one would really wait to die in vain.

Wen Ruo took Xu Qi around the island. It was really just walking in circles. Except for standing on a raised rock on the south shore to rest for a while, when he walked to the north shore, he looked at the cliff for a while.

, and spent the rest of the time walking around the island in a complete circle.

Xu Qi's pale face showed a touch of rosy, and a few drops of sweat dripped from his forehead, along his neck, past his Adam's apple, and into his clothes. From the looks of it, Xu Qi was actually quite handsome, with a face like a crown jewel.

Her eyes are long and narrow, and her lips are pink due to poor health. She is the kind of beauty with inherent sick beauty attributes.

"Wen Ruo, I, I'm a little tired." Xu Qi said breathlessly. No matter how small this island is, it is still an island. After circling around non-stop all morning, he is still very tired.

"Your physique is really bad." Wen Ruo sighed. Although he was also very tired, his physique was slightly stronger than that of a sickly beauty like Xu Qi.

"Then go back, can you still walk?" Wen Ruo turned around and teased in a loud voice, "If you can't walk, I can't carry you either."

Xu Qi rolled his eyes with a lively expression.

"The way back is still possible. Besides, your small body would be too big to carry even a cat, let alone me."

For the sake of face, Xu Qi reluctantly finished the return journey. After returning to the villa, he immediately collapsed on the bed and remained motionless.

The two of them did not go out in the afternoon and rested in the room. Wen Ruo found a book from the bookshelf to read. Xu Qi glanced at it. The title of the book was "Postpartum Care of Sows".

"Do you still read this kind of book?"

"Don't underestimate it, this is a magical book." Wen Ruoyang smiled meaningfully at the book in her hand. She was right, it was indeed a magical book. Every low-key protagonist who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger likes to read this book.

, could it not be a divine book?

"It's inexplicable." Xu Qi didn't believe Wen Ruo's lies, so he closed his eyes and covered his ears to sleep, all at once.

Wen Ruo didn't care, sitting in the rocking chair and continuing to read her book.
