Chapter 408 Out of Control
On the fourth day after the number guessing game, Su Ming's food reserves had run out, and the food distributed to everyone was further reduced.
On the fifth day after the number guessing game, Cao Fengling and his group were attacked. Thirty-five ordinary people died in the attack. The attack was launched by fifty-six ordinary people, or to be more precise, they were once ordinary people.
But in this attack, each of them showed strong resistance to superpowers, as well as strong mobility and ability to withstand attacks. Although these people were eventually wiped out by Cao Fengling's troops, this collective change attracted Su Ming's attention.
When counting the number of people on the sixth day
But this is not the point. The point is that even if these more than one hundred people are counted, the number of people is still much less, and no one knows where those missing people have gone.
Su Ming initially suspected that there was a murder inside the manor, so he carefully observed everyone in the manor, but did not find the murderer.
This leaves only two other possibilities.
It is possible that those people chose to leave on their own without notifying anyone.
It is also possible that the murderer left with the body after killing the person, so Su Ming did not find the murderer among the remaining people.
Of course, there is actually another possibility, that is, just like the last man who could manipulate steel, when he was about to be killed, he was suddenly transferred to another place and survived, and then made a deal with the devil.
Although those missing people have disappeared temporarily, they will definitely appear again as soon as the next game starts. This is a fact that has been proven in the investigation bureau's files.
Even if you make a deal with the devil, you will not have the ability to avoid starvation. No matter what a person becomes, in the end he or she must rely on the food brought by the alien creatures here to survive. Therefore, those who leave the manor but are still alive will definitely appear in a new game three days later.
Su Ming tapped his fingers lightly on the table. He looked at the list of missing persons on the table and always felt that there was something strange about the list.
There were a few names in the list that he was quite familiar with, which made him feel more and more that something was not right. So Su Ming stood up, went outside and called Elton, and asked Elton for the detailed information of those on the missing list.
Then, after reading all the detailed personal information, Su Ming noticed something unusual.
Among the missing people, the majority are elderly.
This characteristic contains some personal subjective will, which makes people feel uneasy.
Things gradually began to get out of control, and this feeling of losing control began when someone suffered a mental change.
This feeling of losing control made Su Ming very uncomfortable, full of a sense of irony, as if someone was saying to him: Everything you did before was meaningless. Once the wheel starts rolling, you can't even change its direction a bit.
Cao Fengling suddenly walked into the room and saw Su Ming staring at a piece of paper thoughtfully, so she stopped at the door and knocked gently.
"Are you free?"
"What's the matter?"
"What are your plans next? If we don't leave here, we're all finished. Some of my men have heard the noise." Cao Fengling said.
Su Ming's expression changed slightly, and he looked up and asked, "How many people are there?"
"That's a lot. Seven."
"Did they tell you what the voice said?"
“I told you, some of those voices said that once you enter here, you will never be able to leave, some said that only a small number of people can leave, and some said that this is a test to select the people with the strongest survival ability. There was also a guy who said that they had committed a crime before, so they came here to be punished... In short, everyone’s mental state is not good. I think if we continue to stay here, we will definitely be doomed.
Is there any way to get out? There must be a way, after all, your previous job was to deal with this kind of thing. "
"If I tell you that if you want to leave this place, you can only get out after a certain number of people die, what will you do?" Su Ming asked.
Cao Fengling sneered and said without hesitation: "Kill them! Kill whoever turns into a monster, and kill them all until the last one to get out."
What a generous and straightforward answer. Ordinary people would not say such words without thinking. Cao Fengling's thought process is different from that of ordinary people. Although her character seems a bit ruthless and cold, even a bit cruel in normal society, but in this place, this character becomes an advantage.
"What if only normal people are left at the end?"
"Keep killing. If it were me, I would kill anyone who wants to kill someone." Cao Fengling shrugged, with an attitude of "It's natural for me to do this."
Su Ming nodded with satisfaction. Although he vaguely realized that Cao Fengling was very adaptable to harsh environments, he did not expect that she was the one whose way of thinking was most similar to his own among all the people.
From a certain perspective, Cao Fengling is even more talented in making choices than him. Su Ming's choices are the result of inner self-debate and Liu Lingshan's teachings, but Cao Fengling's decision is completely different from his. From the two answers just now, it can be heard that Cao Fengling has not thought deeply about why he should do this.
She simply felt that doing so was the only way, so she said it directly. She didn't care at all even if it went against secular moral standards. It could be said that it was a beast-like intuition.
"If it was your subordinates or ordinary people you didn't know, would you do the same?"
"Yes! Do you look down on me? Do you think I'm a villain?" Cao Fengling snorted coldly and looked at Su Ming with dissatisfaction.
"I don't think so. From the beginning I felt that it was just your low personal quality and rude behavior. It was just a slight misjudgment. I thought you were not very smart at the time." Su Ming said sarcastically.
"You are so infuriating, are you serious about what you just said? Is there really no way to leave here normally?"
"…Everything just now was true."
Cao Fengling was stunned for a moment, sighed heavily, and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I got it."
After saying that, she turned around and walked out. When she reached the door, she stopped and turned around to ask, "If there is a voice in my head, is there any hope?"
"It's possible that there's hope, but judging by the current examples, everyone except me has become abnormal."
"Tsk! You are so self-righteous. You have been abnormal from the beginning. Where do you get the confidence to say that you are a normal person?" Cao Fengling said sarcastically and walked away.
Su Ming sighed.
Now, in addition to Zhou Xiaoxiao, there is one more person who knows the secrets of the devil's land.
What will happen next?
He had no idea.
