Weirdness is coming: Chen Mu Nugui started with trillions of ghost coins

After Chen Mu said this, there was no response from the coffin.

There was a little white kitten in the coffin.

Seeing Chen Mu looking down at him, the kitten woke up from his sleep and meowed at Chen Mu.

Chen Mu looked up at the sky and couldn't help but smile at himself.

The man-eating monster that players have always been afraid of turned out to be a snow-white cat.

It looked lazy, white and non-threatening.

No one, at first glance, would be able to associate the snow-white cat with the ferocious man-eating monster.

However, it is not accurate to say that it is a man-eating monster.

Chen Mu touched the white cat's chin. It rolled comfortably in the coffin and raised its sapphire eyes to look at Chen Mu.

Chen Mu stood up and looked at the rising morning light. In his mind, he connected all the clues.

The "fuse" that helps Chen Mu connect everything is Zhang Shu's skeleton!

After observing Zhang Shu's skeleton up close, Chen Mu keenly noticed that there were still some meat residues on Zhang Shu's bones.

This is different from the bones of the village chief, widow and other villagers. There is no meat residue on their bones.

Chen Mu then thought that Zhang Shu and other players were cooked and eaten by Old Man Ma, while the villagers including the village chief were boned and eaten on the spot.

After comparing the two, Chen Mu came to a conclusion:

The one that kills the player and the one that kills the villagers is not the same cannibal ghost!

This also explains why the villagers knew that the ghost marriage was related to Old Man Ma and easily suspected Old Man Ma. But why did the villagers not deal with Old Man Ma even though he was a cannibal?

The reason is very simple - Old Man Ma did not eat the villagers, he ate the players.

According to common logic, if players want to survive, they have to find a way to deal with Old Man Ma.

This is what Jiao Chong'e did, but he failed.

Chen Mu knew that even if Jiao Chong'e succeeded, what would await Jiao Chong'e would not be clearance, but death!

It is true that Old Man Ma eats people, but there is a more critical issue that cannot be ignored -

Who captured the player and handed him over to Old Man Ma?

In fact, in the entire weird mission, the one who kidnapped the player is the real "man-eating ghost"!

Who captured the player has always been a puzzle for Chen Mu.

After thinking about it countless times, he focused on Chong'e this morning and asked a question that got to the heart of the matter:

How on earth did we get out last night?

This sentence sounded like nonsense, and Jiao Chong'e ignored Chen Mu. But behind this nonsense, there was a fatal problem.

Did we really push the door open?

Why was the door of the room closed when we came back?

Everyone thought that it was Old Man Ma who closed the door, but is it possible that no one opened the door at all, so the door has always been closed?

So how do players get out?

Chen Mu thought of the palm-sized gap under the wooden door.

People can't get out, but smaller creatures can slip out through the crack under the door.

Chen Mu couldn't help but think - cognitive confusion!

Is it possible that the player's form can change. During the day, the player is in human form, and at night, he changes into another form, so that he can get out from under the door.

However, in the player's cognition, the debuff of "cognitive confusion" will interfere with the player's perception and make him feel that he has always been a human.

To be honest, Chen Mu had never encountered such a situation before.

So it took Chen Mu a lot of time to come up with this idea.

Chen Mu's assumptions were not subjective; he found a lot of evidence.

For example, the door is very heavy to push at night, which is actually a strong hint that the player can't push the door open at all after the body shape changes;

Also, the door is closed when they come back, which actually hints to the players that they never opened the door at all;

I went to find Old Man Ma in the early morning of the night before yesterday. Old Man Ma turned a blind eye to the arrival of the player. It was also because the player’s appearance had changed and he was not a human at all in the eyes of others!

Zhang Shu touched Old Man Ma at that time. He was clearly touching his upper body, but Old Man Ma moved his feet. Now it seems that this is also a reminder to the players that their bodies have shrunk and they can only touch the ankles of normal people.

At this point, the overall context is already very clear.

The real "man-eating ghost" will come to the yard in the middle of the night, crawl in through the crack in the door, grab the player through the crack in the door, and feed him to Old Man Ma to eat.

Who will do this?

Chen Mu couldn't help but think of the white cat next to Old Man Ma.

Every night after midnight, there would be the sound of cats in the yard.

It’s just that the players thought it was normal for cats to forage for food in the middle of the night, so they didn’t doubt it.

Considering the fact that the cat's size shrinks late at night, Chen Mu naturally thought that the cat might be looking for food from the players.

This is also why, when Zhang Shu saw the face of the man-eating monster, he asked, "What is this?"

A furry white ball was crawling in through the crack in the door, so it was quite reasonable for Zhang Shu to ask this question.

The cat only kills lone players because it is afraid of being discovered by the players.

Once players see the true face, they will guess the truth!

After this speculation, all the important clues are connected together.

All unreasonable situations can be given reasonable explanations.

Moreover, there is no need to take risks to verify the way out.

Chen Mu only needs to lock up the cat and prevent it from moving in the middle of the night to verify whether the way to survive is correct without risking his life.

All clues are used, all unreasonable things can be explained, and there is no need to risk one's life to verify...

Meets all the requirements of life!

So in the end, Chen Mu ran to Old Man Ma's room and caught the white cat.

Just as the village chief said, the "man-eating ghost" is at its weakest when it does not forage for food during the day.

Chen Mu successfully caught the white cat without much effort.

He thought that the coffin was a good place to be confined, and he could also avoid being caught by the villagers.

Chen Mu took the white cat to the back mountain and threw it into the coffin.

Looking back at the entire strange mission, there was a huge trap, which was Old Man Ma’s granddaughter.

It seems that all the clues point to Old Man Ma and his granddaughter, allowing players to suspect the granddaughter, then suspect Old Man Ma, and then kill him.

This is what Jiao Chong'e did. He thought that he only needed one final push to kick open the door to the truth.

I didn't expect that when I kicked open the door, there would be a black abyss behind it.

What puzzled Chen Mu was that Old Man Ma’s granddaughter had never appeared from beginning to end.

Her existence, including her ghost marriage, only exists in oral accounts and notes, like a fictional character.

And if the granddaughter is really a cannibal, then Old Man Ma exposed his granddaughter and provided clues that the village chief had presided over a ghost marriage; the villagers never caused trouble for Old Man Ma, and there are many illogical points.

It was because Chen Mu noticed these logical bugs that he avoided falling into the trap with Jiao Chong'e.
