Seeing the little girl's unforgettable look of hatred, Ling Chen was secretly speechless.

Judging from the horrific wounds on Mrs. Laura's face, it is not difficult to imagine that if the arrow had been a little farther, she would have died.

He had no idea that this seemingly thin little girl could burst out with such energy, and even... dare to kill people!

Nicole, who looked like a normal person, actually had unimaginable power. She controlled a gray cat and attacked Mrs. Laura in the middle of the night...

In fact, this is the reason why Ling Chen never thought that Chen Qianru would act alone.

As mentioned before, if you use Chen Qianru's method to find witches, you must bear the relevant risks.

Witches may look like ordinary people on the surface, but they have greater strength...

In order to implement the above method without knowing the strength of the witch, it is best to form a team.

After all, if the witch is too powerful, then the contractor acting alone will not be able to guarantee that he can defeat his opponent.

Not only that, if you think about it from the worst perspective, it is even possible that the lone contractor will lose to the witch and be killed by the other party.

So at that time in the tavern, after Ling Chen resolutely expressed his opposition, he thought that Chen Qianru would also figure this out.

Then, without the support of a team, he temporarily gave up his plan to assassinate Nicole. After all, it was too dangerous to act alone.

But she never expected that she couldn't resist the greed in her heart, and finally set off alone...

Chen Qianru looked at the scene in front of her, with a mocking smile on her face, and said sarcastically to Ling Chen:

"My dear detective, did you see it?"

"I was indeed right. If you hadn't stopped me, I would have completed the side mission long ago and could have found the witch."

Ling Chen's face looked a little ugly, but it was not because he was being ridiculed, but because he thought of a certain possibility:

"No... something is wrong."

"Don't rush to conclusions yet. Everything happened too deliberately. Listen to me, this matter is definitely not simple."

Chen Qianru believed that Ling Chen just couldn't accept failure and was struggling to his death.

“What’s not simple about it, it’s already clear at a glance.”

She squinted and said:

"You are just a newcomer. It is normal to fail. It would be too ugly to refuse to admit your mistakes."

Ling Chen frowned:

"It's because things are so obvious that I asked you to wait."

"Although I don't have a lot of experience, I also know very well that the purpose of the Purgatory Game is for us to complete the task... rather than just be spectators."

"What on earth do you want to say?"

Ling Chen's face became serious, and he frowned and said:

"The whole process is too simple. If you think about it carefully, you will find that if we don't do anything from the moment we enter the village, it will not affect the current scene."

After hearing this, Chen Qianru sneered, shook her head, but said nothing.

Ling Chen also knew that she didn't listen, but there were some key things that she still had to say:

"Even if we don't deduce the murderer, Mrs. Laura will still move in in the end and be attacked by Nicole. The existence of our contractors will not have any impact."

"Rather than saying that the few of us found the witch, it would be better to say that we were passively watching all this happen."

Ling Chen ignored the reactions of others, and after thinking for a moment, continued:

"In my last experience, if the main quest had not been solved, the whole thing would have developed in a different direction."

"In comparison, we are now... experiencing a script that has already been written."

"Even...even if we don't exist, nothing will change. I think this is completely inconsistent with the purpose of the Purgatory Game."

Although Ling Chen said a lot in one breath, his inferences did not win the approval of Chen Qianru.

She looked at the past with a contemptuous look, and said with some disdain:

"Is this your basis? We are just pawns of the organizer. Not to mention you, a newcomer, not even the senior contractors can say that they understand the principles of the Purgatory Game."

When talking about "senior contractor", Chen Qianru raised her eyelids and glanced at Qin Wei.

Qin Wei frowned and said hesitantly:

"Indeed...even guys who are more senior than me can't guess the rules and purposes of the game."

After hearing this, Chen Qianru crossed her arms and her arrogance was ready to come out. She glanced sideways at Ling Chen and said:

"Did you hear that? In my opinion, because the truth has not been found for a long time, the organizer deliberately arranged the scene just now to provide us with clues."

At this time, Ling Chen shook his head, then recalled what he had discovered when he checked the hand crossbow just now, and said slowly:

"Just like when Mrs. Anne's body was discovered, I think what I see on the surface may not necessarily represent the truth. Now there are still a lot of doubts about Nicole's attack on Mrs. Laura."

"The doubtful point is that you are unwilling to admit defeat."

Chen Qianru gradually lost her patience:

"Qin Wei, you have also seen the current situation. Nicole is definitely a descendant of the witch. Take action quickly!"

Hearing this, Qin Wei had a look of excitement on his face, as if he really had plans to take action...

Ling Chen felt very anxious after seeing it.

He knew very well that the reason why Chen Qianru had not attacked Nicole yet was because Qin Wei's attitude was still unclear.

However... if even the most powerful Qin Wei sides with Chen Qianru, she doesn't need to care about Ling Chen's intentions.

On the other hand, as long as Qin Wei has not clearly expressed his support for anyone, she should not dare to take action at will.

Ling Chen knew this very well and immediately opened his mouth to persuade Qin Wei, saying hurriedly:

"Listen to me, I always feel like this happened so suddenly, as if someone was behind it."

He wanted to stop Chen Qianru as much as possible, but that was not because he couldn't accept failure as the other party said.

It's because he has a vague feeling that if he kills Nicole here, the main mission will fail.

This feeling also appeared in the last copy, when I suddenly saw a female ghost in my dream...

Because of this, he was able to see through the trap at the last moment, find out the real enemy, and achieve good results in the end.

Since he had the same feeling this time, Ling Chen naturally took it very seriously.

He stared closely into Qin Wei's eyes and said quickly:

"Believe me once and give me a chance to figure it out. Besides, the time limit is not over yet. If I still can't figure it out after today, it won't be too late to take action then."

"You know, if Nicole hurts someone now, she will definitely be imprisoned by the villagers afterwards. It is impossible to escape. There is always a chance of assassination."

Qin Wei fell into deep thought. He felt that Chen Qianru and Ling Chen's opinions actually made sense.

From the surface, it would undoubtedly be easier to choose Chen Qianru's method.

However, he cannot ignore the fact that Ling Chen's performance has been outstanding since the moment he entered the dungeon.

First, he killed the demonized horse alone, and later, based on a few clues, he found out the truth about Lady Anne's murder case.

This series of performances clearly told Qin Wei how much potential Ling Chen is.

Another newcomer wouldn't be even half as good as Ling Chen.

He even felt that if Ling Chen had also experienced three dungeons, his performance might be better than his own.

All along, Ling Chen's speeches were always on point, and he rarely made mistakes.
