6: Chapter 6 Reversal of Fortune

Chu Xuan knew better than anyone that if he hadn't received the reminder sent by the other party on his mobile phone, he wouldn't have realized in the first place that the monster judged locations based on sound, let alone turned on the lights.

The greatest possibility was that he would be completely killed by the monster during the endless resurrections.

There was also another suspicious point.

It was now 2:45, and the time he had just asked the question was 2:36.

There was a full gap of nine minutes!

Was this Future Tang Zheng really unable to reply in time because he was being hunted down? Or was he making up lies?

As a result, was the message "Chen Qing is the monster" still true?

Could the monster be Tang Zheng in reality?

Chu Xuan instinctively looked up at Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng asked, "What is wrong? Did you think of something again?"

"Wait..."

Chu Xuan waved his hand slightly, his eyelids drooping.

From waking up at 2:30 in the morning until now, his memories were like a rewound film, with scene after scene flashing across his mind.

The next second, the image froze.

Chu Xuan thought of an overlooked detail: when he first received the message from Future Tang Zheng, he first looked at Tang Zheng's bed in reality.

At that time, he clearly saw a human-shaped outline and even mistakenly thought Tang Zheng was curled up under the quilt sending messages to him. Especially at the very moment before he turned on the lights, Tang Zheng suddenly woke up and complained that it was too noisy.

Therefore, there was a high probability that Tang Zheng was not the monster.

As a result, the monster could only be... Chen Qing?

But then another problem arose.

If Future Tang Zheng, who sent him messages, had a problem, why would the other party tell him that Chen Qing was the monster?

Were there any other traps hidden within this?

Or perhaps, just as Tang Zheng in reality said, the monster wasn't any of them, but had truly disappeared, just like how the monster had inexplicably appeared in the dormitory...

Chu Xuan glanced at the switch beside the dormitory door.

Should he still use this method?

In the prompt from Future Tang Zheng, the monster killed people following the "rules of day and night", and after he turned on the lights, the monster indeed disappeared.

Then, after turning off the lights, there was a great possibility that the monster would appear again.

By then, who the monster was would be crystal clear at a glance.

However, Chu Xuan had witnessed the terrifying speed of the monster with his own eyes.

He could not be sure whether, the moment the lights were turned off and on, if the monster appeared, it could accurately determine their locations and had the ability to instantly kill someone.

For a moment, Chu Xuan was in a dilemma, struggling fiercely in his heart. He felt as if his left and right brains were fighting each other, and his head felt as if it was about to become sharp.

Time——

2:46.

The sense of urgency in Chu Xuan's heart grew even stronger.

In many movies he had watched, there were always people who wavered when facing difficult choices, procrastinated in making a decision, and ultimately missed the opportunity, leading to irreversible consequences.

Hesitation brings trouble!

Thinking of this, Chu Xuan hesitated no longer and headed straight for the switch.

"Screw it!"

Even if he still chose the wrong option in the end, he would accept it; it was still better than waiting for death!

Chu Xuan made up his mind and immediately headed straight for the switch.

But just at this moment, a figure suddenly blocked his path in front of him.

It was Chen Qing!

"Tang Zheng, don't you think Chu Xuan is very strange?"

Chen Qing's voice was trembling, but his body stood straight in front of Chu Xuan.

"Chu Xuan! I noticed that from just now on, you have been looking at your mobile phone from time to time, and you kept typing just now. Who are you messaging? But clearly there is no signal now, who could you possibly be contacting?"

While speaking, Chen Qing suddenly took a step forward, attempting to snatch Chu Xuan's mobile phone.

"Stop right there!"

Chu Xuan was startled in his heart, immediately stepped back, raised his hand to point at the other party, and his gaze instantly turned cold.

Chen Qing had a problem!!

This thought instantly arose in Chu Xuan's mind.

Given Chen Qing's cowardly personality, how could he suddenly turn on him?

Especially in the current environment, just moments ago he had been completely flustered and panicked. If he had truly been wronged by Chu Xuan, he might be angry, but mostly he would try to explain.

As for saying that he looked at his phone and typed from time to time, that was even more absurd.

Because before this, whether it was Chen Qing or Tang Zheng, both of them had been trying to make phone calls and send text messages for help, attempting to contact the outside world.

His own behavior was not abnormal, and the other party making an issue out of this clearly harbored malicious intentions.

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at the switch not far away, instantly understanding everything.

The other party had guessed his intention, so they wanted to stop him through this method!

Seeing Chen Qing quietly blocking the path to the switch, he said to Tang Zheng with great emotional excitement, "Tang Zheng, I suspect that all of this is Chu Xuan's doing. He was the first one to wake up, so his suspicion is the greatest. Wang Hua was most likely killed by him!"

"Chen Qing, what are you getting so excited about? Are you feeling guilty? I am now completely certain that you are the hidden monster! And I have a way to make your true form appear right away!"

Chu Xuan said coldly. He no longer considered whether the previous message from Future Tang Zheng still harbored traps. Although the other party still had suspicious points, at least every conclusion provided had been verified.

Since it was now confirmed that Chen Qing was the monster, he might as well continue believing Future Tang Zheng.

Kill Chen Qing as soon as possible!

"Bullshit!"

Chen Qing did not give an inch: "What makes you so sure I am the monster? It has been you talking from beginning to end, who knows if it's true or false? You are the most suspicious person. If there really is a monster in this dormitory, it must be you! Furthermore, you have been messing with your mobile phone all along, there must be a problem with it. As long as we get your mobile phone, everything will come to light!"

While speaking, Chen Qing stepped forward again to grab Chu Xuan's arm, wanting to snatch the phone, but was directly kicked away by Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan had thought about ignoring Chen Qing's pulling and forcibly rushing to the switch, but at close quarters, he was afraid he would be instantly killed by Chen Qing, who had turned into a monster.

"Enough! Can you two stop arguing?"

Tang Zheng blocked the middle of the two and said irritably, "What time is it now, and you guys are still having infighting? Everyone is brothers in the same dormitory. The more it is in this kind of situation, the more we need to pull together. Don't you even understand this simple logic!"

Chen Qing grabbed Tang Zheng's arm and shouted, "Don't you understand even now? All of this is actually Chu Xuan's doing. He woke up the earliest. Let's subdue him together and see who he is messaging!"

Under Chen Qing's deliberate guidance, Tang Zheng's attention finally fell on Chu Xuan's mobile phone. He sighed and said helplessly, "Chu Xuan, why don't you let him look at the mobile phone first?"

Oh no, he was suspected!

Under the blessing of Mental Energy 9, Chu Xuan clearly sensed a hint of hesitation in Tang Zheng's voice. In the end, the other party had still been influenced by Chen Qing!

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

He couldn't really hand over the mobile phone. Regardless of whether the Future Tang Zheng messaging him was real or fake, as long as Chen Qing was there making trouble on the side, it would inevitably stall for time, or even make things darker the more he tried to explain.

Chu Xuan thought of a game called werewolf kill, how similar it was to the situation before him!

In the dark of night, the werewolf came out to kill people.

During the day, the good people searched for the werewolf.

At first, he tried to find the "werewolf" between Chen Qing and Tang Zheng.

When he finally found that Chen Qing was the werewolf, the other party decisively chose to jump out and tear into a fight with him, and everyone was desperately striving for the support of the "good person" Tang Zheng.

Now, he was at a disadvantage, and the situation was somewhat unfavorable, but he must never panic because of this or show a guilty appearance, otherwise it would only make Tang Zheng even more suspicious.

Chu Xuan's heart was nervous, but his expression remained normal: "I am just trying to contact the outside world. If you really suspect me, I can give you the mobile phone for you to check freely, but Chen Qing cannot!"

Chu Xuan slightly extended the mobile phone, making a posture that he could hand it over to Tang Zheng at any time, appearing very calm, yet deliberately did not hand it over directly in front of Tang Zheng.

In this dormitory, his relationship with Tang Zheng was the best.

Chu Xuan reckoned that given Tang Zheng's personality and the friendship between them, Tang Zheng would definitely be too embarrassed to reach out and take it immediately.

Sure enough, Tang Zheng's expression looked slightly awkward.

Seeing Chen Qing seemingly making a move, Chu Xuan quietly withdrew the mobile phone and said to Tang Zheng while trying to keep his tone level:

"I can give you the mobile phone, but in the process of you checking the phone, this fake Chen Qing will definitely have other excuses later, and might even say that I have deleted the real chat Records. This is completely meaningless, because his real purpose is to stall for time. I already know how to make his true form appear, don't let him distract you!"

Hearing this, Tang Zheng gave Chen Qing another suspicious look. The latter's expression instantly stiffened slightly, and he defended himself: "No, I didn't..."

Chu Xuan directly interrupted: "Then shut up!"

Chen Qing's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

Chu Xuan continued: "Since the monster disappeared after turning on the lights, then if we turn off the lights again now, will the monster appear once more? I think it's very likely! As long as the speed is fast enough, turn on the lights immediately the moment the lights are turned off, this can both discover the true face of the monster and avoid being instantly killed by the monster..."

Speaking of this, Chu Xuan's voice paused slightly.

He saw that Tang Zheng's expression was obviously tempted, while Chen Qing's eyes suddenly became somewhat gloomy, his mouth moving as if he was preparing to say something.

Chu Xuan's eyes turned fixedly cold, and he suddenly roared: "What are you doing?! Why are you stepping back? Don't move!!"

Chu Xuan said hurriedly: "Tang Zheng, be careful! You must not let Chen Qing go turn off the lights, otherwise after he turns into a monster, he can directly destroy the switch or block in front of us. Once we fail to turn on the lights again, we'll be dead!"

Chu Xuan's hurried roar made Tang Zheng shiver all over, every hair on his body standing on end. He stared fixedly at Chen Qing, as if as long as Chen Qing dared to move randomly, Tang Zheng would immediately erupt.

Chu Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Chen Qing had not stepped back just now. Chu Xuan's sentence was merely to squeeze away Chen Qing's "good person facade" in Tang Zheng's heart, and also to give Tang Zheng an early warning.

Because Chen Qing was closest to the switch right now, to prevent him from doing something desperate when cornered, as long as Tang Zheng was prepared in advance, with his physical fitness, he could completely stop Chen Qing.

Form Reversal!

Chu Xuan's tense emotions eased slightly, but when he checked the time again, his expression couldn't help changing slightly.

Time——

2:50.
