855: 71 people died, buy meat

The next day.

As the sky was just dawning, Mo De was woken up by the faint light outside the window.

He rubbed his sore eyes and checked the time on his watch.

6:10.

He had only been in this World for two days, but his sleep quality was getting worse and worse.

In the past, he would only wake up after sleeping for at least eight hours at home, but now it was as if his biological clock had detected danger and only provided him with the most basic rest time.

He stretched his aching body.

Mo De realized that he had slept directly slumped on the desk last night.

Beside him was the storybook that Hong Lei's daughter had given him.

Originally, Mo De had just read this thing as a simple story.

But after browsing through the stories inside one by one, Mo De made a surprising discovery: many places in the stories were consistent with the situation in the Town!

For example, the story 'The Hen'.

The story said that there was an old hen in a Town, but one day it disappeared.

The grandmother who raised the chicken was very anxious and even looked for the Police, but she never found it.

Finally, it was defined as having been dragged away by wild wolves.

The prototype of this story was clearly the [Theft Case] that happened in the Town not long ago.

The grandmother, the protagonist of the story, corresponded to Sophia!

Of course, based on just one story, it was impossible to conclude that the storybook corresponded to the entire Town.

The key reason was.

There were many more scattered stories in the storybook.

With so many obvious features stacked together, this situation was finally confirmed!

This was not a simple storybook; this was a very important information clue, even more precious than the photos found in the Police station before!

However, many pages that should have contained stories later on were blank, providing no further information.

He turned his head to look at the bed.

Hong Lei's daughter was still asleep.

The storybook, was this the reward for solving the question of who his only family member was?

If it weren't for the System's reminder, he wouldn't have been able to take this step.

[Congratulations, you have successfully survived for two days.

Among this batch of one hundred people, 71 permanently died yesterday!]

[Please select a scene from a deceased person's life to learn more information.]

The pitch-Black text arrived as scheduled.

Mo De, who understood the information within, couldn't help but clench his fists, sighing inwardly.

71 people!

On the first day, less than twenty people died.

And on the second day, the number of deaths directly surged to 71 people!

In other words, it was only the third day, and only ten people out of a hundred were still alive!

Looking at the rows of names appearing before him, Mo De fell silent for a moment.

His gaze swept across them, finally choosing a deceased person.

'Pu Yinghao'

As he confirmed the selection, a scene appeared before his eyes.

It was a familiar street.

Seeing the building next to it, Mo De noticed Evangeline's breakfast shop in this scene.

Judging by the sky.

It was the time period just after getting up yesterday morning.

At the entrance of this breakfast shop, a A Man in the scene, nearly two meters tall with a face full of rough flesh and a buzz cut, was holding a pistol, and its muzzle was pointing directly at Old Tang Na in front of him!

"Old Tang Na, Evangeline has seen the murder weapon you forged!

Do you still want to clear yourself of suspicion?!"

Pu Yinghao's attitude was fierce.

Unlike Mo De's previous observational attitude, this selected person's actions were somewhat reckless.

However, it must be said that although such recklessness was accompanied by risk, it often allowed one to quickly approach the truth.

Under the threat of Pu Yinghao's pistol, Old Tang Na's face showed a hint of anger, but fear of the gun also emerged in his eyes: "Sheriff Pu, how can you believe what that woman Evangeline says?"

"That crazy woman is just making up lies because I cursed her, and she resents it!"

"Didn't you and Officer Corey come to investigate yesterday?

I'm clearly not the murderer!"

Old Tang Na's explanation was filled with anger, but more so, fear of the gun in Pu Yinghao's hand.

"Stop talking nonsense, hand over that bone-chopping knife, or I'll arrest you as the murderer!" Pu Yinghao shouted impolitely.

"A bone-chopping knife?"

When Old Tang Na heard this, a visible panic appeared on his face: "What bone-chopping knife?

I don't have a bone-chopping knife!"

"Do you think I don't dare to shoot?

Take it out, don't make me say it a second time!" Pu Yinghao's gun was pressed directly against Old Tang Na's forehead!

The extremely intense pressure made the seemingly tough Old Tang Na instantly soften: "Sheriff Pu, I really don't know about this."

"Bang!"

A bullet landed heavily on the Old Man's calf!

Old Tang Na let out a cry of pain as expected.

"No, no!

Sheriff Pu, I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Old Tang Na cried out in response.

Mrs. Evangeline from the breakfast shop next door also covered her mouth in fear, unable to believe that Pu Yinghao had actually shot!

"The bone-chopping knife isn't with me, that thing is in Corey's hands!

It was Corey, Officer Corey who asked me to forge the bone-chopping knife for him!"

Old Tang Na wailed as he revealed the words.

As this information was conveyed, Pu Yinghao in the scene revealed a sinister smile of understanding: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?

You got shot for nothing."

Just as the words fell, the expression of this nearly two-meter-tall strong A Man suddenly changed.

As if he had sensed something, he instantly turned around.

But there was nothing behind him.

From Mo De's current perspective, this A Man seemed to have suddenly gone crazy, as if he had seen something terrifying.

The rough flesh on his face even showed intense fear!

Under his indescribably bizarre behavior, it was as if he suddenly realized something in alarm, and he quickly put his finger into his mouth, constantly digging at his throat!

Tears streamed down as he dry-heaved, but the A Man ignored it, continuously digging his finger into his throat.

While it brought on waves of dry heaving, not a single thing came out!

And in his desperate actions, his finger even scraped out large amounts of blood from his throat, but he was completely unaware!

"No, no, no!"

The A Man's eyes were full of tears, and he was shouting incoherently.

Before Mo De's eyes, the scene also began to sink into deep Darkness!

The playback of the other party's death ended here.

Mo De's expression remained largely unchanged.

It seemed this guy ate that sandwich when he went out, which led to the scene of being claimed by death.

It's just that this sandwich murder didn't seem to attract any Ghost or monsters?

It was more like a mental level slaughter!

What a pity.

If it weren't for the sandwich, Pu Yinghao might have been able to uncover more information.

Now, the information he sought out would be taken over by himself.

"So the bone-chopping knife is in Corey's hands." Mo De muttered to himself.

Although there was only this bit of information, its weight was very significant!

After watching the death playback of Pu Yinghao, the rows of pitch-Black text appeared before his eyes, following a certain rule, appearing at the appropriate time.

[Strange Talk Rule C]

[1.

The meat at home is finished.

You should go to the vegetable market to buy some good meat and bring it home for the Child to eat tonight.

If the Child doesn't get meat to eat, you will seem like an unqualified Dad.]

[2.

There is no meat sold at the vegetable market.]

[3.

Wild animals in the Redwood Forest are very active every night, but please note, when you see a A Man wearing a hooded coat, please run away immediately!]

[Observed that you obtained a key item, the storybook.

Two Strange Talk rules are now added.]

[4.

There is a small wooden house in the Redwood Forest.

If you do not want to suffer the same fate as Bosen, the deceased in the dismemberment case, please do not try to approach.]

[5.

A story in the storybook will be updated every day.

Please do not ignore it.]

A total of five Strange Talk rules.

If they were provided normally, there should only be the first three.

Only after he obtained the storybook were the two additional Strange Talk rules added later.

However, looking at it normally.

Those who could survive should have all obtained the storybook.

After all, those who didn't tell Hong Lei's daughter stories last night were already dead!

Yesterday's danger was truly terrifying, whether it was the sandwich, choosing to have dinner with family, or finally telling stories.

They were all traps with no room for escape!

He was an exception; he chose the wrong answers for all three options, but somehow managed to survive unreasonably by relying on the System's reminder.

Perhaps it was precisely because this storybook was not obtained by his own ability that the System did not give him an extra Lie Detection opportunity as a reward.

He had now accumulated one Lie Detection opportunity.

This was obtained after twelve o'clock last night.

"Buying meat for the Child, I have a whole day, no rush for now." Mo De took a deep breath of the cool air, glancing at Strange Talk Rules C Group 1 and 2.

Relatively speaking, the suspicion on Corey was growing larger and larger!
