The Counterattack of the Villains

On the seaside, in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel's main building, more than 300 seaside members are all concentrated in the lobby.

The martial arts faction surrounded Su Guo Duyuan and stood at the corridor on the second floor, looking down at the seaside members.

Li Mu carried an automatic rifle and said to all the seaside members below: "I have called everyone together today to inform you of a big event."

"The Hatter failed to successfully pass the level and died in the game. Through the democratic election of the cadres, the new leader was succeeded by the boss of the Su Kingdom."

As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, there was an uproar in the hall, and many Haibin members had panicked looks on their faces.

After all, the Zhongzhou Team has only joined Haibin not long ago. Even the cadres don't know much about this group, let alone the ordinary members.

In their impression, the martial arts faction is a group of domineering and cruel guys. If they rule the seaside, will they be able to live a good life in the future?

However, although the cadres didn't know much about the Zhongzhou Team, judging from the situation when Li Mu and his party met the Hatter for the first time, and what they did during the so-called "democratic election", this group of people was not a good bird either.

Facing the noise in the hall, Li Muda shouted: "Quiet."

After the hall became quiet, he continued: "Next, I'll ask Boss Su to say a few words. Please prick up your ears and listen carefully."

After Su Guodu Yuan's speech, everything settled, and the seaside fell into the control of the martial arts faction.

In Garner's future room, Garner was talking to an intercom and said: "The time is right, let's start the 10 of Hearts game tonight."

The intercom responded: "Understood."

…

On this day, the seaside no longer had the dynamic music of the past, nor the ubiquitous laughter. Everyone spent the entire day in a panic about the future.

As darkness fell, on the rooftop of a building several hundred meters away from the seaside, the Hatter and his two boys each held a telescope and watched with their own eyes as the seaside was surrounded by a laser net.

On the top of the main building on the seaside, the game venue signboard with the heart logo is shining with dazzling neon lights.

The Hatter put down the telescope and said in admiration: "It's really amazing. It's all what they expected."

A younger brother said worriedly: "Ten of Hearts is the most difficult game among digital cards. Can they solve it perfectly?"

The Hatter smiled and said: "Don't underestimate them. In my opinion, the games in this world are really just games to them. I believe they can solve it perfectly."

…

In the seaside, at that moment, the brightly lit seaside suddenly lost power and fell into darkness.

However, the duration was very short, and the light came back on after a few seconds.

Also lit up at the same time were the TVs in all the beachfront members' rooms.

And the TV showed: The game is about to start.

The next moment, a male voice sounded from the beachside broadcast: "Thank you sincerely for visiting Tokyo Seaside Paradise Hotel. In order to thank you for your support, the hotel organized a game for all guests."

After the announcement fell, the information displayed on the TV changed to: The difficulty of this game is 10 Hearts. The rules will be explained next, and all players are invited to gather in the lobby.

In a moment, all the Seaside members poured out of the guest rooms and gathered in the lobby.

I don't know when, there was an extra table in the hall, with more than 300 mobile phones piled on it, which exactly corresponded to the number of all the members of Haibin.

And at the edge of the hall, a girl wearing a red and white striped bikini lay dead. She had a fruit knife stuck in her heart.

Su Guo Du Yuan immediately ordered the members of the martial arts faction to maintain order and distribute mobile phones to every member of the seaside group one by one.

After everyone received their mobile phones and swiped their faces to turn them on, everyone gathered around the dead girl.

At this moment, another girl rushed to the dead girl and cried: "Mengmenghua, why is this happening?"

The girl who died was a high school student, her name was Inoue Moeka, and the girl who was kneeling and crying beside her was named Kujo Asahi. The two were classmates and the best friends.

Just at this moment, the mobile phone prompt sounded: "Ding Dong... This game is 'Witch Hunting'. The evil witch who took the life of the girl is hiding among you."

"The witch does not have to be a female. If you find the witch and burn it with the fire of punishment, you can successfully pass the level. The time limit is two hours."

As the countdown began, everyone looked out the window and saw a huge bonfire burning in the open space outside the hall.

The 10 of Hearts game has appeared, and there is no need to hide anything at this time. Anri Hena walked directly to Li Mu and his party and asked: "How to break this game?"

Su Guo Du Yuan also looked at Li Mu and Chu Xuan. So far, the development of things is completely under their control. He has as much confidence in Li Mu and others as the Hatter.

Li Mu smiled, looked at Chu Xuan, then took a few steps forward, walked to the center of the circle, and said loudly: "Now, please stand on both sides of the hall in the manner of men on the left and women on the right."

"Members of the martial arts faction will supervise the execution. If you refuse to cooperate, I have reason to believe that you are a witch. You will be shot directly and thrown into the fire."

After listening to Li Mu's words, everyone looked at Su Guo Du Yuan.

Su Guo Du Yuan put his hands in his pockets and said calmly: "From now on, everyone will obey Mu's command, and anyone who disobeys will be killed."

Arnold held the big pineapple, stood in the center of the hall, and said in a deep voice: "According to Mu's request, men are on the left and women are on the right. From here to the gate, when the first line is full, then line up in the second line. Now start moving immediately."

Finally, everyone stopped hesitating and began to move. The men all ran to the left, and the women all ran to the right.

During this process, Li Mu arranged members of the martial arts faction to guard the exits. Master Bachi went to the second floor to set up a sniper, and everyone loaded their bullets, forming a closed environment in the hall.

A few minutes later, the team was completed. Li Mu said to Anli Hena: "An, how long will it take for you to extract the fingerprints on the murder weapon?"

Anri Haruna said immediately: "It only takes about 20 minutes to extract fingerprints, but I need some materials and equipment, so I have to find them now."

Li Mu said decisively: "Immediately go to the Ju Wu and Shui Ji to help."

"OK."

Shuntaro Soya and Mizuchi Hikaru immediately followed Anri Tsuruna and ran upstairs.

Li Mu then ordered: "Nine-headed Dragon, in the future, you can find enough ink pads and A4 paper."

"Give everyone a piece of paper, supervise them to write their names, and have everyone print their fingerprints on the paper."

Kuzuryu Huiyi nodded silently and walked to the hotel office with Kanama Mirai.

After hearing these instructions from Li Mu, Garner secretly breathed a sigh of relief in the future, with a sneer flashing in his eyes.

According to his operations, it was impossible to find out who the real witch was, and two hours would not be enough to compare the fingerprints of more than 300 people.

When the deadline is approaching, no one can be so calm anymore. When the time comes, the martial arts faction will not be able to withstand the pressure and will definitely carry out indiscriminate killings and throw everyone into the fire of punishment.

In this way, the game she designed can achieve its goal perfectly.

While she was secretly proud of herself, Li Mu, Chu Xuan, Zhan Lan, and Xiao Honglu were also looking at her back.

The four of them had seen the original plot, and naturally knew clearly that the witch in this game was the deceased Inoue Moeka herself.

If you can't guess this, even if you kill all the members of Haibin, no one will be able to pass the level.

Ghana designed this game in the future with the goal of destroying the seaside.

Li Mu and the others all knew the answer, but they couldn't show that they already knew the answer.

So they have to go through some operations to crack the game in a reasonable and logical way.

After Anri and Tsuruna left, we couldn't just wait and do nothing in the lobby, as that would make everyone feel uneasy.

Li Mu then said to everyone: "Now, starting from the first person on the left, tell me where you were and what you were doing during this hour. Who can prove it?"

"If you can't prove that you don't have time to study, stand in the middle and compare your fingerprints in a while, starting with you."

After hearing his words, everyone immediately followed his instructions.

The game started relatively early today, less than 10 pm, so at this time, those whose visas have not expired and who do not need to enter the game are still awake.

Most people gathered together, drank and chatted in small groups, and basically had alibi.

And a small number of people whose visas expired and were going to play games at night mostly went to bed early to recharge their batteries. They couldn't prove that they didn't have time to work.

However, they knew that they were not witches, so they walked to the center calmly and were not afraid to compare their fingerprints for a while.

About ten minutes later, Anri Haruna gathered the tools and materials, returned to the hall, took away the murder weapon inserted in Inoue Moeka's chest, and performed fingerprint extraction.

Kuzuryuu Huiichi and Kana Mirai distributed papers to everyone one after another, asking them to write their names and then use ink pads to print their fingerprints on them.

As time passed by, the fingerprints of all members were quickly collected, and the narration of alibi continued one after another.

There were already more than thirty people standing in the middle of the hotel, including Inoue Moeka's classmate and best friend, Kujo Chaohi.

Half an hour passed quickly. Garner said in the future, seemingly unintentionally: "Isn't An finished yet? There is only one and a half hours left. There is not enough time to compare so many fingerprints, right?"

After hearing her words, everyone in the hall, whether they were the Fighting Faction, the Hatter Faction, or ordinary members, felt a little uneasy.

Everyone looked at Su Guo Du Yuan and Li Mu who were standing together.

Li Mu glanced at her and said calmly: "A skilled fingerprint appraiser can tell whether the fingerprints are consistent in only a few to ten seconds if the fingerprints are clear."

"More than three hundred fingerprints are enough to complete the comparison within an hour, and to find the murderer, it may not be necessary to compare everyone's fingerprints."

After hearing his words, everyone felt a little relieved and continued to wait quietly.

After another ten minutes, Anri Tsuruna held the fruit knife in her hand and walked quickly into the hall with Shuntaro Soya and Hikari Mizuya behind her.

"The fingerprints have been extracted, but there is a strange thing. The fingerprints on the handle of the knife are in an upside-down state, which means..."

Kanana Mirai's heart skipped a beat, and before Anri Haruna could finish speaking, he interrupted: "What's so strange about this?"

"Weapons like daggers and daggers can be most lethal when held upside down. Only laymen who don't know anything about martial arts would choose to hold them upright!"

Anri Tsuruna paused for a moment. What Kanana said in the future is really not nonsense. People who really know the martial arts skills hold the dagger upside down and rarely choose to hold it upright.

Su Guodu Yuan said expressionlessly: "So, you want to say that the murderer who killed Mengmenghua is a person who is proficient in martial arts?"

Garner said with a serious face in the future: "This possibility is very high. If you want to kill someone without alerting anyone, the murderer will either be someone familiar to the deceased or a martial arts master."

Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "No, we seem to have fallen into a misunderstanding."

Garner's eyes narrowed in the future, and he felt something bad in his heart. He forced himself to calm down and said: "What is the misunderstanding?"

Li Mu ignored her, but took a few steps forward and said thoughtfully: "The game of hearts has always been known for playing with people's hearts. You usually have to betray your partners and kill each other to pass."

"Judging from the rules of this game, the fundamental purpose of the game is to make us suspicious of each other, then cause chaos, and finally kill in order to find the witch."

"If the witch is really among us, and we really go on a killing spree, then when we are almost done killing, we will definitely be able to kill the witch and pass the game."

"But 10 of Hearts, as the last game of number cards, will it be so easy to pass?"

"No, it won't. The purpose of the game is to destroy the seaside group so that no one can clear all the games and collect all the playing cards to go abroad."

"So, how can we make everyone die and still not be able to clear the game?"

Having said this, he suddenly turned around, pointed at Inoue Mengmenghua lying on the ground, and said: "It's very simple, if Mengmenghua herself is a witch, the situation I mentioned is very likely to occur."

"The fingerprints are upside down. It's not the hand of a martial arts master, but suicide."

"Nani?"

"This... makes sense."

There was an uproar in the hall. It must be said that there are still some smart people in the seaside. Through the inferences made by your words and my words, the truth soon emerged.

"Because Mengmenghua was the first deceased person to appear, the game rules also clearly stated that she died at the hands of a witch."

"So no one would suspect that she is a witch, and no one would think of throwing her into the fire of punishment."

"Then when chaos breaks out and the militant faction starts killing people indiscriminately, the situation will get completely out of control."

"But even if the martial arts faction kills everyone else, the game is still not over. Then the martial arts faction will definitely have internal strife."

"In the end, most likely because the time is up and the witch is still not found, everyone will be game over."

"Is this the game of hearts? It's really scary."

"What a vicious game of hearts, what a disgusting game."

Garner's future face was extremely gloomy at this moment. She didn't expect that this game that she had carefully planned for so long and put together all the conditions could be cracked so easily.

Even except for Inoue Moeka, the dealer, not a single member of Haibin died. This was simply a shame for her.

She failed because she didn't understand Li Mu and his gang. They were not the crazy guys like Ji Mujie and Zuo Cun Takayin, but the real elites.

The one who played the most important role was Anri Tsuruna. She never dreamed that this woman knew how to identify fingerprints.

She was not unjustly defeated.
