“I have an older brother who looks very similar to me, but our personalities are very different. I’m reserved and obedient, but my older brother likes to create trouble no matter where he goes.

“One time, my brother and father got into a serious argument, and it got physical. In the panic, my brother accidentally slashed my father. At the time, I was there as well but did not expect this to happen. I tried to stop him, but he turned on me and tried to kill me. In that process, I accidentally stabbed him.

“When mother returned, both big brother and father were dead. A perfect family was shattered. Mother knows me well and understands that I would never lie and kill, so she helped me lie during the police’s interrogation and pushed all the blame onto my brother.

“Everyone at this city is mentally deranged, but I’m the only exception because I never intended to kill anyone; it was just an accident.”

Guest 3 told his story. When he was done, the chat box asked—’What will you do next?’

1. Enter the room and tell him about the danger lurking at the hotel.

2. Do not enter the room and ask him to scout the other rooms for you.

3. Ignore him and go to sleep.

Entering the room meant leaving his life in the student’s hands while asking the student to scout for him meant asking the student to go to die on his behalf. Choices one and two represented good and evil.

“Shall we take a risk? I don’t think this student sounds like a bad person.” Without knowing it, Fan Chang had already finished drinking the coke as his eyes wandered between Chen Ge and the computer screen.

“We’re not taking any risk; this student is definitely lying to us,” Chen Ge said confidently and chose the third choice.

“But it was due to self-defense that he killed someone. Plus, look at his mannerisms and reaction—he’s completely different from those murderers that we’ve met. He looks shy and reserved; a child like this probably wouldn’t kill someone.” This time, it was Fan Dade who spoke. He shared his brother’s view.

“The lack of confidence means a defect in his personality; most murderers spent their childhood in shame and fear. They are incredibly lacking in confidence, but at the same time, they desperately wish for respect, and that is why their personality gets twisted later in life.” Chen Ge got tired of explaining. “This student is very dangerous, but he is not strong enough, so he goes after targets weaker than him.”

“You mean, he’s lying?” Fan Chong opened another can of coke. It was already midnight, but he was not feeling sleepy.

“I can be sure that this student is lying. Think about it, if his mother really pushed all the blame onto the big brother, why would he appear in this town full of murderers at midnight?” Chen Ge’s voice was low. “Now, I have two speculations. One, he killed his big brother and father and then pinned everything on his brother. He made use of his mother’s trust to escape the persecution. Two, this student is the big brother. He killed his father and his little brother, and to escape the law, he assumed the character of his little brother.”

When Chen Ge was done, both Fan Chong and Fan Dade were silent, unable to find an argument to counter. They were covered in cold sweat.

“The possibility of it being the second speculation is higher.” Chen Ge looked at the screen, chose the third option, and controlled Xiao Bu to leave in a hurry. “Him appearing in this town means that he probably has killed his mother as well, and the reason for that is simple. Even if they’re twins, no matter how hard he tried, his mother would have been able to tell the difference.”

After getting to know the hotel’s layout, Chen Ge controlled Xiao Bu to head to the entrance. He was prepared to let the Red Specter into the hotel. “There are no innocent people in this hotel, but they should be able to buy me some time.”
