Doll Survival Game - Chapter 46 - Lin Na's Last Day (Part 8)

For a moment, all eyes were on Lin Luo, who hadn’t spoken yet.

Only Via seemed puzzled, blinking at Lei Jing with a look of surprise, “You remembered everything?”

Lei Jing leaned back in her chair, gesturing towards Lin Luo’s position with a hint of smugness, “Not really. But with a face like that, I only need to see it once to remember.”

The doll showed an expression of amusement.

Lin Luo laughed, and his smile seemed to strip away any sense of threat. He touched his face, “Because I don’t actually look like this.”

“I have an item that lets me change my face before entering an instance. My real face is too ugly; I’m worried it might scare people.”

Lei Jing frowned, “What a coincidence?” And she had always wanted that face-changing item, which he happened to have.

Lin Luo’s smile was gentle and innocent, “Indeed, but anyone with such an item would use it, right?”

The doll squinted, finding Lin Luo’s smile all too familiar.

“Believe it or not, it’s up to everyone,” Lin Luo said casually, “But I hope we can vote out the extra one.”

“And as for proof that I’m not a non-player…” Lin Luo pondered, “You mentioned that close relationships can help determine non-player status. Well, those with good relationships in the character setting can prove each other, right?”

“A non-player must have tasks to complete, but I’ve hardly left Luo Yiran’s side,” Lin Luo looked at the doll, “I couldn’t possibly accomplish anything.”

Lin Luo’s gaze subtly shifted towards Lei Jing, “Those who can act alone have a greater chance, don’t they?”

Lei Jing: “…”

Suddenly, the attention on her increased.

The doll waited a moment before asking, “Lin Luo, who do you suspect?”

Lin Luo looked at Lei Jing, “Of course, I suspect her. She’s living alone; it’s convenient to do anything.”

“And Auntie can clean anywhere without restrictions. If I were the boss, I’d definitely choose this role.”

Lei Jing: “…”

She had no words to refute.

The doll coughed twice, “Then the next one… is me.”

Lin Ye glanced at the time and frowned-it had only been five minutes?

“The reason I’m not the non-player has been mentioned. Though I’m not thrilled, it’s the truth; my mobility is too limited.” The doll sat on the floor without moving, still remembering his leg injury, “As for who I suspect…”

He looked at Lei Jing.

Lei Jing: “…”

Lei Jing: “Fine, you all just suspect me.”

The doll chuckled, neither denying nor confirming, simply stating, “I think Lin Luo’s point about starting with players is quite valid.”

Lei Jing frowned, “That makes me too obvious…”

“But we don’t have any other suspects right now,” Luo Yiran said pleasantly.

Lei Jing sneered, “So you can just pin it on me?”

Luo Yiran smiled, revealing neat white teeth, “I mean, if there’s no definite choice, we’ll vote for you. You know why.”

Lei Jing showed some confusion, “What?”

Others also looked puzzled, and Via frowned, shaking his head, “Ranran, explain clearly.”

“Don’t call me Ranran,” the doll retorted first, then looked at Lei Jing, eyes unblinking, “You killed Duan Miaomiao.”

Some hadn’t yet realized who Duan Miaomiao was, so they instinctively asked, “Who?”

“Sister,” Luo Yiran replied, then watched Lei Jing’s facial muscles change, smiling, “It really is you.”

Lei Jing had no intention of admitting, “Accusing people recklessly can get your tongue pulled out by evil spirits.”

The doll tilted his head, affirming, “You knocked down the lamp.”

Lei Jing opened her mouth to say something.

Lin Luo mimicked the doll’s tilted head and Lei Jing’s tone, smiling, “Don’t refute, we saw it. So don’t say you weren’t the furthest away last night, and don’t say you weren’t smiling when the lamp fell.”

After Lin Luo spoke, Tang Bai frowned and said, “I saw it too… I thought I was mistaken.” After all, in the blink of an eye, it’s easy to misjudge, and at that time, they couldn’t be out of character.

“…” Lei Jing could only keep her mouth shut and her eyes steady.

“Your character setting should be very resentful of the Lin Family. And choosing to tamper with the lamp when everyone was present shows you don’t care about our lives.” Because when the lamp fell, it could have caused widespread injury, and anyone could have died.

Lei Jing’s eyes reddened slightly, as if feeling wronged, “So you’re voting me out because my character setting did this?”

The doll was stunned, looking at Lei Jing with an expression suggesting she wasn’t too bright, “What else? You resent the Lin Family, and to kill them, you disregard others’ lives, making you the most dangerous. People who don’t want to be killed or hurt will vote for you, right?”

“Especially since we can’t yet determine who the non-player is.”

Via thought of something, blinking, “And task three didn’t mention any failure penalty!”

Lin Luo smiled, “I’ll retract the statement that this might be the only vote; not mentioning a failure penalty likely means there’s a second round.”

Lei Jing: “…” Damn!

The doll smiled softly, lowering his gaze-if the upcoming speeches still couldn’t identify the non-player, then voting out Lei Jing seemed wise, given her character’s main goal was to kill Lin Family members.

And now Xia Lang… although it’s uncertain if Xia Lang still resides in the Lin Family sister’s body, but just in case.

Moreover, Lei Jing clearly had no qualms about killing, even enjoying it.

“I have nothing more to say, next,” the doll twirled his finger, glancing at Lei Jing-he felt he’d seen this face somewhere before.

Next was Tang Bai, who hesitated, then sneaked a glance at Lei Jing.

Lei Jing: “…What are you staring at?”

Tang Bai quickly withdrew his gaze, “I’m not the non-player; I haven’t been alone since last night.”

“After everyone spoke, I also suspect Lei Jing.” Tang Bai adjusted his glasses, “The three of us guys share a room, so we can vouch for each other.”

Lei Jing: “What, you want to sneak out at night while they’re asleep, but can’t open the door yourself?”

Tang Bai was momentarily speechless, then said, “But I really didn’t go out.”

Lei Jing snapped at anyone, “Does a non-player have to go out? Maybe the non-player hasn’t done anything yet, since I’m here attracting attention.”

Tang Bai adjusted his glasses again, slightly raising his head. Despite his outstanding appearance, his demeanor was somewhat similar to Li Qi Feng, blending into the crowd. Unable to respond to Lei Jing’s accusations, he fretted for a moment, then could only say dryly, “It’s not me… really.”

“Hey,” Cheng Chen couldn’t stand it, interjecting discontentedly, “It’s not your turn yet.”

He glanced at Luo Yiran.

Luo Yiran was staring at the wall, and when he felt the gaze on him, he turned, naturally asking Tang Bai, “Anything else to say?”

Tang Bai was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

Next were Cheng Chen, Zhang Mimi, and others, whose statements were similar to Tang Bai’s, except Zhang Mimi revealed a character setting issue: his character wasn’t a high school student.

Wang Xing and Lin Xiaohai even shared a bed, getting up together at night.

But if the non-player really hadn’t done anything all night, then those with no real-world relationships were more suspicious.

Yet Lei Jing was alone both in reality and in the setting, even resting in her own room.

So, when it was finally Lei Jing’s turn to speak, everyone paid close attention.

Lei Jing sneered, looking at Luo Yiran, “You’re quite something.” Her speech had made her the target of everyone.

Luo Yiran took it as a compliment, nodding without speaking.

Lei Jing showed no sign of backing down, coldly surveying the people around her, “I said I’m not the non-player.”

She rolled up her sleeve, revealing a red line tattoo extending from her wrist up into her sleeve. She stared at Li Qi Feng, knowing he recognized the tattoo, “This should prove I’m not the non-player, right?”

Li Qi Feng and Via were stunned for a second, then Via’s curled-up body on the chair relaxed, his face darkening, “You’re… mm!”

Li Qi Feng covered his mouth, then looked at Lei Jing, very cautious, “I recognize it, but you need to say it yourself.”

Who knows if she just saw the tattoo somewhere and copied it.

Lei Jing snorted, “I’m a member of the [Hunter].”

Li Qi Feng released Via, who smiled sinisterly, “Oh, you [Hunters] screwed us over once, and now you dare show up in front of us?”

“I don’t want to,” Lei Jing lowered her sleeve, glancing at Luo Yiran, “Does this prove I’m not the non-player now?”

Luo Yiran blinked in confusion, genuinely puzzled, “I said, if I’m not sure who the non-player is, I’ll vote for you.”

Lei Jing smirked, “Then vote.”

The doll glanced at the others, then slightly raised an eyebrow-they were wavering.

Most players present knew Luo Yiran was a new player. Via looked around, then explained, “The [Hunter] is a faction in the World Human game. After completing over thirty instances, players can create factions, which come with team bonuses, greatly enhancing abilities, among other benefits.”

“But one team ability is hostile. Using Lei Jing as an example, if we vote to kill her, we’ll be on the [Hunter]’s blacklist.”

Via’s whole demeanor exuded disgust, “Generally, in instances, killing for survival is reasonable. Other factions don’t mind unless members are killed maliciously, but [Hunter] is different; they relentlessly pursue those on their blacklist.”

Lin Ye glanced at Via, adding, “An important point you missed: [Hunter] members have killed five or more people in reality. Their revenge is scarier than mere death.”

Via nodded with pursed lips.

Lei Jing listened with satisfaction, then smiled brightly at the doll, “So, still want to vote?”

“If we can’t find the non-player, there’s no need to vote for me. You know my character setting targets Lin Family members, so just be vigilant. This instance doesn’t allow items, and my old man’s setting can’t exert excessive force. If you’re cautious, I can’t act, right?”

Lei Jing’s palm faced up, fingers tapping the table lightly, “So… why not vote out this doll? He’s weak and useless.”

The doll finally raised his head, and in Lei Jing’s gesture, his beautiful, translucent red eyes showed a hint of realization-he remembered where he’d seen Lei Jing.

So it was her.

“Having killed so many… you’re a wanted murderer, aren’t you?” the doll deliberately said in a soft voice.

Lei Jing touched her face, smiling, “So what if I am?” Game matters can’t be discussed in reality, but for a wanted murderer like her, exposed due to her appearance, protection is inadequate. Others can guide the police to catch her, but…

No one can find her.

She’s far from where she committed her crimes, and when she fled, she made the police think she went north…

Lei Jing thought, then her pupils shifted, suddenly meeting the doll’s gaze. In that instant, her heart raced, a strange sense of fear creeping in.
