night.
The wind and snow are getting heavier.
From the window, the visibility outside in the wind and snow became very low.
There is no doubt that in such a climate, anyone can imagine how dangerous it would be to patrol at night.
David once again gathered in the conference room of the guesthouse with eight other people.
At this time, there were already two people waiting for them, and it was the village chief and Ge Jiayan.
"I'm summoning you today to identify who is the extra 'man' among you."
When the village chief said this, he thought about it and added: "I hope you can understand one thing. If you can't find that 'person' among you, then I can only choose one of you to sacrifice."
At this time, Li Yanping was the first to speak: "Village Chief, are you kidding? Are you really doing it?"
Li Ruping immediately pulled her sister and signaled her not to talk nonsense.
And at this time, someone spoke: "If I really get to this point, I'm willing to sacrifice."
The person who spoke was Li Dongshan!
"Uncle Li!" David was stunned and said quickly: "No, you can't die!"
Village Chief Ge smiled bitterly, "What a joke, there are too many people in Li Dongshan who have favors in the village. If he chooses to sacrifice him without evidence, then there is no doubt that his prestige will plummet in the village."
"Yes, Uncle Li!" Jiang Shan also said quickly: "Don't say that, we will definitely find that 'person'!"
"Village Chief!" At this time, the person who spoke was Chang Min: "I want to know, what can you find this...'man'?"
Chang Min is a person with delicate emotions and thoughts. After hearing what he said, everyone looked at the village chief.
Yes, the village chief came here for a meeting. Is there any countermeasures that can solve the problem?
When everyone thought of this, they all showed a look of joy.
"Is there really a way?" The person who spoke at this time was Xia Meng: "I used to hear from the villagers that if you use porcelain dolls to contact them, you can test it out?"
"This is a rumor." Ge Jiayan shook his head and said, "We have done such an experiment before, but no one has taken it."
"Ah? This?"
"Is this actually a rumor? I always thought it was true?"
Chang Min asked anxiously: "Then... is there a way to identify this 'person'? I'm very worried about my dad and want to go back to see him as soon as possible."
The village chief said seriously: "Until I determine who was involved in you, I cannot let any of you contact any villagers in the village of Nanmeng Village. To put it bluntly, I am also taking a lot of risk when I sit here to face you. Any of you may kill me now."
indeed.
David knew very well that the village chief could be said to be taking great risks now.
"Frankly, I have no choice." The village chief continued, "Whenever I have a choice, I was..."
He wouldn't have sacrificed Lei San at the beginning.
"Village Chief," Li Yanping was anxious again at this time, "You, you won't really sacrifice one of us, right?"
The village chief took a deep breath and then said, "No."
"ah?"
"There's really no way?"
Then, the village chief continued, "It is because there is no way, so we have to find a way. If I have a way, I will not delay this meeting until now. From past experience, we can judge that our memories and cognition can be completely tampered with by unknown objects coming out of the fog. The unknown objects can be completely disguised as our appearance, and can perfectly match our memories. Regarding this... In the afternoon, I asked each of you to write an article about all kinds of major events from your birth to the present?"
Ge Jiayan took out a stack of paper and placed it on the table.
"As I expected, it is exactly the same as our memory."
Village Chief Ge then said: "Since that's the case, it means that it is difficult to find out with conventional means. In this way, I can only talk to all of you in detail and find clues."
David looked at the time at this time.
The patrol tonight is about to begin.
I wonder who will patrol tonight? What will happen to you?
Then, the village chief handed Ge Jiayan a color, and Ge Jiayan opened the notebook in his hand.
"Next, I will ask you some questions. If others find something wrong with their memory, or think that the other person's performance is different from the person in your memory, they can raise it. I hope that I can find the other person."
"That... Village Chief..."
The person who spoke at this time was Li Jun.
"What's wrong?"
Li Jun rubbed his hands and said, "I have a problem... If, what if, what if, after really finding the other party, then?"
Chang Min, who was standing beside him, immediately replied: "Do you still need to ask? After finding it, of course you will kill him!"
Li Jun immediately said: "Isn't this the key? Can an unknown monster that can be transformed into a human form and easily modify our memories be really killed by us?"
Not that no one has ever thought about Li Jun’s question.
Especially Xia Meng. After her sister died tragically, she also investigated the ten suspected people, but the result was that she could not find out at all.
"When you find it out, there will always be a way. If you can't find it out, you will be destined to be troubled and sacrifice one of you in this way. You don't want this, right?"
"It's... the village chief, you're right."
"Okay, then, start now."
Ge Pingyan began to think and looked at the nine people present.
Which one should I choose to ask first?
When it comes to these people, the one he knows best is Li Dongshan, his daughter-in-law Li Ruping.
The first person to ask Li Ruping first seems to be unfavorable to his daughter-in-law.
"Ru Ping, you are the first one."
"Okay, okay... dad, no... village chief."
Although Li Ruping is the village chief’s daughter-in-law, she seems a bit submissive.
Ge Pingyan naturally knew why she was acting like this.
If Niancheng hadn't been trapped in the village by heavy fog, he would never have married Ru Ping, a high school girl. You know, he already had a girlfriend in the city at that time.
In fact, Ge Pingyan's wife Lin Shufen also didn't like Li Ruping's daughter-in-law. In her opinion, her son had already left this poor village and went to a big city. He had hope of making great achievements and marrying a real city wife, but he had to be trapped in the village and marry a girl with a bad family. In this way, he would naturally not have any good face to this daughter-in-law.
This marriage was actually caused by Village Chief Ge himself. He felt that if he really wanted to say that the family was not in a good match, Nian Cheng and the city girl were really not matched. When marrying a wife and a virtuous person, he was sure that Li Ruping was gentle and obedient, so he felt that she was suitable for her son.
Looking at Li Ruping in front of her, she didn't dare to look at her directly, Ge Pingyan couldn't imagine that Li Ruping would be fake.
"Ru Ping... Today, Nian Cheng has come to see you?"
"Well, I've seen it...but I didn't go to see him. Follow your instructions... Village Chief."
"Don't be nervous, I'll ask you some simple questions next, don't think too much."
Then, Village Chief Ge said, "Do you still remember when you and Niancheng got married, your uncle made you a set of furniture, right?"
"Yeah, right."
Li Ruping's uncle is a carpenter in the village, and her niece wants to marry the son of the village chief's family, so he immediately made a set of furniture as a dowry for her. In this poor village, everyone respects craftsmen very much.
"At that time, there was a bedside table in the set of furniture he made for you. What color is it?"
Just as the village chief was waiting for the other party to answer, suddenly, the room fell into darkness!
"How did the candles go out?"
"What's going on?"
It took more than ten seconds before someone lit the candle.
After the light comes back, everyone sees this scene.
Li Ruping was holding something in her hand.
That's...
Village chief's...
