secret chat room

Zhuang Xie returned home, turned on the light, took off his shoes, and carefully aligned his leather shoes in the corner of the entrance hall.

He opened the shoe cabinet and reached out to take out a pair of slippers and put them on.

His movements stopped for some reason, and his eyes rested on a pair of pink slippers decorated with two cute little rabbit heads. One of the rabbit heads had broken ears, which made people wonder whether the owner of the slippers used the instep of his feet.

Walking.

"Trash! Your slippers are too big! If I wear them accidentally, they will fall! Buy me a pair!"

"No, I refuse. Did I beg you to come?"

Suddenly, a familiar annoying voice seemed to come to mind again.

A year ago, when Zhuang Xie first moved into this house, this was Cheng Najing's casual request, and Zhuang Xie naturally refused.

Then not long after, there was a pair of pink rabbit head slippers in the shoe cabinet...

Zhuang Xie looked away, took a pair of his own black slippers and put them on.

Returned to the computer desk again.

Speaking of which, Zhuang Xie's bed was pitiful. Before, Zhuang Xie seemed to prefer sleeping on the sofa. But in the more than half a month since Cheng Najing's accident, Zhuang Xie basically spent every night in front of the computer chair.

It can be said that I bought this bed for free.

Turning on the computer in standby mode, Zhuang Xie really began to examine the updated chat group.

Except for the new points system and the change of selecting the "group leader" from the group members through the competition for the points system, the other changes are not big. The update lasted a whole night, as if the update was lonely, unlike a certain person.

Although there are fewer authors of suspense stories about a certain type of crime, they are at least not good.

Open the game page and there is a refresh button.

Zhuang Xie stared at the refresh button. He knew that pressing that button would start the second game.

but......

He touched the back of his neck, which was covered by his collar. There was a raised feeling and a scar that had not completely healed.

It was the souvenir left for him by everything he experienced while walking the street where Cheng Najing died.

He looked at his own shadow, which was still too obvious even indoors.

The being in the shadow seemed to notice Zhuang Xie's gaze and called out "Gulu~" somewhat flatteringly.

He had no doubt that at that moment, if he slowed down even a little bit, the red tongue full of undercuts would come into close and powerful contact with his head and fragile spine.

In fact, he has always been a little strange. In the chat group, it seems that he is the only one who has experienced that near-death scene.

Although he himself also concealed all this from other group members, even though Xingmang Wu Yuhe and Clay Sculpture Hu Yan, two people who are obviously very sophisticated, according to Huang Mao and Zhuizi's chatting habits, he also

Is this tight-lipped?

Zhuang Xie thought it was unlikely.

But no matter what, Zhuang Xie didn't want to take unnecessary risks at this critical moment, so his eyes only stayed on the refresh button for a moment before closing the game lobby.

The chat group was quiet at this time, not at all as lively as it was a few days ago.

Yes, on the surface, two bomb-level news broke out in just two days.

The first one is the bomb dropped by Zhuang Xie himself. The timelines of the group members are different.

The second is that this group relies on points to select the group leader.

The update details did not detail the authority of the group leader, but there is no doubt that the name "group leader" alone can conceive of its power to suppress other group members.

Apart from anything else, if the "group leader" had the authority to remove group members from the group chat just like an ordinary chat group, it would be enough to make everyone care.

Secretly, it is even more complicated.

According to the information provided by Xingmang Wu Yuhe, at the time of the chat group update last night, Hammer Zhang Guangbei had been attacked and killed by the murderer who was a member of the group.

Zhuang Xie asked why Xingmang didn't remind Zhang Guangbei before.

Unexpectedly, the other party said that before the software update, Zhang Guangbei was not dead in Xingmang's timeline, and in just one night when everyone in the chat group lost contact, everything changed.

In other words, after everyone in the chat group enters the group in different timelines, they are already unpredictable variables. Any actions of everyone at the front of the timeline will directly affect the future.

So now, everyone is trapped in a strange confrontation.

People at the end of the timeline have intelligence advantages that are unknown to members at the front, while people at the front of the timeline have the ability to directly influence the future.

If everyone works together, is harmonious and friendly, then things will naturally develop for the better.

But if everyone has evil intentions, then the confrontation will be officially established.

Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, the latter is far more likely than the former.

As the first person to reveal his true identity, Xing Mang's danger is self-evident.

So this was the reason why he came to cooperate with Zhuang Xie, the "dead man" who in his opinion had the least suspicion.

This reason really convinced Zhuang Xie.

so......

Zhuang Xie didn't hesitate at all, he skipped Xingmang's profile picture and clicked on Hammer's profile picture.

There are already many messages sent by Zhuang Xie today.

Not one reply.

In fact, combined with the intelligence of Zhang Guangbei, Zhang Jiaming, Zhang Yuge and others, as well as personally confirming Zhang Guangbei's death at the police station during the day, Zhuang Xie has basically determined the fact that "Hammer = Zhang Guangbei".

Sending another message to test is just a final confirmation.

After making his decision, Zhuang Xie didn't hesitate much. He closed the chat box with Hammer and clicked on another avatar.

Gear: "Clay sculpture, let's talk."

After sorting out all the information he had searched and combined with the information provided by Xingmang Wu Yuhe, Zhuang Xie had to admit that the clay sculpture was the most suspect.

But so what.

At this stage, only the hammer and clay sculptures have timelines before June 22.

According to calculations, the date of the hammer and clay sculpture at this time should be June 21, which was only one day before Cheng Najing's death.

He spent all his time collecting intelligence, analyzing everything at hand, and testing each other with the future Wu Yuhe in intrigues to obtain information, not to catch the murderer.

Zhuang Xie just wanted to collect chips and trade chips with people whose timeline was before June 22.

Even if that person may be a vicious murderer, even if that person is really like what Xing Mang Wu Yuhe said, he will be his murderer in the near future.

He doesn't care, as long as that person is there before June 22, that's enough.

That's enough.

Zhuang Xie stared at the screen, but there was no response from the other party.

He touched the keyboard with his fingers and typed another line slowly.

Gear: "Clay sculpture, or Miss Hu Yan. I'm here to negotiate terms."

a long time.

There was finally a response from the other side of the screen.

Clay Sculpture: "Speaking"

Zhuang Xie looked at the screen and laughed silently.
