âI have an older brother who looks very similar to me, but our personalities are very different. Iâm reserved and obedient, but my older brother likes to create trouble no matter where he goes.
âOne 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.
âWhen 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 policeâs interrogation and pushed all the blame onto my brother.
âEveryone at this city is mentally deranged, but Iâm the only exception because I never intended to kill anyone; it was just an accident.â
Guest 3 told his story. When he was done, the chat box askedââWhat will you do next?â
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 studentâs 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.
âShall we take a risk? I donât think this student sounds like a bad person.â Without knowing it, Fan Chang had already finished drinking the coke as his eyes wandered between Chen Ge and the computer screen.
âWeâre not taking any risk; this student is definitely lying to us,â Chen Ge said confidently and chose the third choice.
âBut it was due to self-defense that he killed someone. Plus, look at his mannerisms and reactionâheâs completely different from those murderers that weâve met. He looks shy and reserved; a child like this probably wouldnât kill someone.â This time, it was Fan Dade who spoke. He shared his brotherâs view.
âThe 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.â Chen Ge got tired of explaining. âThis student is very dangerous, but he is not strong enough, so he goes after targets weaker than him.â
âYou mean, heâs lying?â Fan Chong opened another can of coke. It was already midnight, but he was not feeling sleepy.
âI 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?â Chen Geâs voice was low. âNow, I have two speculations. One, he killed his big brother and father and then pinned everything on his brother. He made use of his motherâs 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.â
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.
âThe possibility of it being the second speculation is higher.â Chen Ge looked at the screen, chose the third option, and controlled Xiao Bu to leave in a hurry. âHim appearing in this town means that he probably has killed his mother as well, and the reason for that is simple. Even if theyâre twins, no matter how hard he tried, his mother would have been able to tell the difference.â
After getting to know the hotelâs layout, Chen Ge controlled Xiao Bu to head to the entrance. He was prepared to let the Red Specter into the hotel. âThere are no innocent people in this hotel, but they should be able to buy me some time.â
Chen Ge came to the door and saw a fatty standing in the lobby. He had a chefâs hat on and was arranging many pieces of cake on the dining table.
âThat is the hotelâs chef. Heâs crazy, but Iâve never seen him kill anyone,â Fan Chong whispered. Chen Ge nodded as he controlled Xiao Bu to stay away from the chef. However, whenever she neared the entrance, the chef would walk her way.
After wasting a few minutes at the lobby, Chen Ge tried to click on the chef with the cursor, and the chat box appearedââThe tapping continues. Itâs midnight, time for supper at the hotel.â
After the chat box disappeared. The old man, the woman, the student, and the hotel owner came out from the guest rooms. The police officer was nowhere to be seen. The owner stood next to the chef, and adjacent to them were four chairs. There were nine pieces of cake on the table.
After everyone came, four options appearedââPlease pick a seat.â
1. Sit between the chef and the old man.
2. Sit between the old man and the woman.
3. Sit between the woman and the student.
4. Sit at the end of the table.
There was finally no ignore and sleep option, but Chen Ge did not know how to pick. âWhy would the game suddenly ask me to pick a seat, and whatâs the meaning of different seating arrangement?â
Chen Ge did not get it. For the sake of safety, he chose four and sat at the end of the table alone. After he made the choice, the other characters also took their seats. When Chen Ge controlled Xiao Bu to take her seat, the chat box appearedââThe chef placed the knife on the table. He and the hotel owner looked at the guests with bright smiles and posed a question: How do you split nine pieces of cake evenly among four guests with just one cut of the knife?â
âFour people sharing nine pieces of cake? Cut three pieces down the middle? That wonât workâthe request is equal sharing.â Fan Chong and Fan Dade were deep in thought. Neither of them realized that Chen Ge, who saw the sharp knife, was completely excited!
âThis should be the owner purposely making things difficult for the guests. No matter how you slice it, there canât be equal sharing.â Fan Dade was a chef, and he could not come up with a solution.
âThatâs right, no matter how you cut it, the icing on the cake will stick to the knife somehow. There canât be an equal in this situation.â The brothers were discussing it when they saw the old man, woman, student, and Xiao Bu that Chen Ge controlled reach for the knife at the same time!
They were all different distances away from the knife. Xiao Bu was furthest, and the old man was closest.

âThis is bad!â Chen Ge saw the old man pick up the knife, and he immediately controlled Xiao Bu to run away!
âWhy are you running?â Fan Chong and Fan Dade were confused. âArenât we supposed to answer the question? Why are you running?â
Xiao Bu ran without even turning back. On screen, the old man who held the knife slashed at the woman next to him with his full strength!
âHow do you share nine pieces of cake among four people with one cut? Simple, cut the four people down to three!â
