Chapter 191: The Bas.e.m.e.nt

Without waiting for Yan Ruo’s reply, Bai Lin jumped down. When she landed, she stirred up the dust on the ground, and Zheng You, who was caught off guard, coughed.
Ignoring Zheng You’s unfriendly gaze, Bai Lin looked around calmly.
There was a small pile of unprocessed food in the corner, mostly wheat and vegetables, but this was not a proper bas.e.m.e.nt.
This was City A, and the background of the story was also set in City A. The bas.e.m.e.nt of City A was also called the cellar, where a large amount of food was usually stored for winter.
Therefore, the underground cellar was usually built outside the house and was at least 100 cubic meters in size.
This place was extremely narrow, so low that Yan Ruo had to lower his head slightly to avoid touching the ceiling.
Bai Lin estimated that the height of this place was about 1.75 meters, and the length and width were only five or six meters. If this place was used to store vegetables, the owner would starve to death before winter ended.
This meant that it was used to do something else.
Bai Lin’s gaze fell on the wall on the east side.
The wall was pitch black. She went closer and closed her eyes to sniff. It smelled similar to the blood on Yan Ruo’s face.
There was a cabinet in the corner. She walked to the cabinet and found that it was locked as well.
“Did you find the key?” Bai Lin turned to ask the two.
Zheng You’s expression was very ugly. After Bai Lin came in, she did not even say h.e.l.lo and continued to investigate on her own, completely disregarding her, the eldest daughter of the Zheng Family.
“I should be the one asking you,” she said impatiently, “This place is only this big. Yan-ge and I searched for a long time, but we couldn’t find it. It should be outside… Speaking of which, how’s your investigation going?
Bai Lin looked at the wall on the east again and repeated her findings and speculations clearly.
After hearing this, the impatience on Zheng You’s face became more obvious. She said disdainfully, “What’s the point of you checking these things? These are all distractions in the game. The real mystery is hidden in the moon.” The moon?
The moon was round today. Bai Lin had only seen it once before she entered the village. After that, she did not think in that direction because it did not match her deductions.
Seeing Zheng You so confident, Bai Lin looked at her seriously with the intention of research and discussion. “Why do you say that?”
Zheng You puffed out her chest, and the cameras surrounded her at the right time. Even Bai Lin’s screen had her on it.
All the audience members were also paying attention to Zheng You’s answer.
“We heard a cat’s meow as soon as we came in, but I don’t think it’s a cat’s meow.” Zheng You was a little smug. “Compared to a cat, I think it’s more like a wolf. And today is the night of the full moon. At midnight, it’ll turn into a werewolf and kill all of us.”
She glanced at Bai Lin and said, “That’s why I said that the things you’re concerned about are useless. The final answer is hidden in the simplest thing. We shouldn’t look for the population register now. This thing is just in your imagination. It doesn’t exist in the game.
“Listen to me, take out the cat food. We’ll put some in each house, and then we’ll use my cat teaser to lure it out as soon as possible.”
She felt that her deduction and reasoning were perfect. She gave Yan Ruo a confident and proud smile. “Let’s hurry up. Everyone will die once it’s midnight.”
Bai Lin was speechless. She was really looking forward to seeing what this d.a.m.ned thing that plagiarized her game would discover.
She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, barely suppressing the urge to hit her.
“It was the most unwise decision I’ve ever made in my life to waste so much time listening to your reasoning.”
Bai Lin’s att.i.tude angered Zheng You. “What do you mean? Do you still think that your investigation is more accurate after hearing what I have to say? Bai Lin, aren’t you being a little too arrogant?”
[Is Bai Lin sick? What Youyou said makes a lot of sense. She’s the world’s top game structure master. She must know more about horror games than Bai Lin does, but she still insists on her own ideas. What’s so n.o.ble about her?]
[I’m waiting for Bai Lin to slap faces.]
[Idiotic fans are here!]
[The combined intelligence of Zheng You’s fans is not half as high as my Lin-jie’s. I suggest that you all stop speaking on the internet. I almost laughed out loud when I saw it.]
[Zheng You’s reasoning has an obvious logical loophole.. Do Zheng You’s fans not see it?]
