"Is this a limited edition?" Assistant Director Li Xing said in surprise when he saw "No Survival" brought by Jiang Yuangang.

Li Xing is also an old acquaintance of Jiang Yuan, and he has worked with He Jing as an assistant director.

"Yes." He Jingdun nodded sheepishly.

Among the few people, only He Jing knew Jiang Yuan's identity.

"Are there any more? Can you get me a copy too?" Producer Mor Kang also asked with some envy.

This time the producer, although his name made Jiang Yuan a little bit uncomfortable, is indeed one of the best directors in suspense films in China.

With He Jing's kind invitation, he served as the producer of this film.

"This is a gift from someone else's publishing house." He Jing nodded to Jiang Yuan.

Li Xing's and Li Xing's eyes immediately shifted to Jiang Yuan.

"I'll try my best." Jiang Yuan touched his nose.

If you don't agree, it would be bad to wait until a few months later and lose your horse.

"It would be great if I could get this copyright." After sitting down, Li Xing also took "No Survival" and turned two pages, saying with emotion.

"It's difficult. I've asked the publisher many times, but they all said they have no idea of ​​selling the copyright."

"Besides, he is very mysterious and cannot be contacted at all." Morkan shook his head.

He had already tried it before when "Suspect X" was in full swing.

"It is said that the copyright has not been sold since "Fortress"."

"It can't be that PTSD caused by that thing." Li Xing analyzed rationally.

"It's not impossible." Morkan touched his chin.

After all, the reviews of this movie in the industry are indeed not very good.

"It's still a bit of a pity."

"But our script this time is not bad." Li Xing nodded and quickly regained his energy.

"It should be almost time for the audition," Morcom said.

"Yes." He Jing stood up, tidied up and got ready for the audition.

"Who's number one?" Jiang Yuan looked at the information roughly.

There was no embarrassing situation like before, basically none of the actors were known to each other, and we were able to participate in the evaluation more objectively.

He Jing reported his name, and when the time came, the scene immediately entered an audition state.

On the other side, Barry is still immersed in the plot of "No One Survived".

The second-generation rich man Anthony came too suddenly, which still surprised Barry.

Originally, according to Barry's inertia, the first deceased person should wait until he died before being discovered.

Unexpectedly, he landed directly in front of everyone.

This way of death is also extremely impactful for other characters in the book.

After an examination, Dr. Armstrong concluded that there was potassium cyanide in the wine.

But Anthony poured the wine himself. Some people speculated on the possibility of suicide, but felt that Anthony's character might not commit suicide.

After everyone analyzed this, there was nothing else to do, so they decided to go back to their rooms to rest.

After returning to a state of solitude, everyone couldn't help but recall the past.

Rogers discovered in the living room that there were only nine small porcelain figures left in the center of the table.

After reading this, Barry couldn't help but review the second sentence of the nursery rhyme again.

[Nine little soldiers held candles until midnight; they didn’t answer when called early in the morning, so there were only eight left out of nine.]

It was like a warning, announcing that someone would die on this night.

One night passed quickly, and Dr. Armstrong was awakened by a nightmare. As soon as he woke up, he found that his body was being shaken by Rogers.

Rogers found that his wife could not wake up. After examination, it was confirmed that Mrs. Rogers was dead.

By questioning Rogers, Armstrong learned that Mrs. Rogers' sleep was not good, but she advertised that she did not use drugs to help her sleep.

According to Rogers' statement, after taking the medicine prescribed by Armstrong the night before, he never ate anything else.

The breakfast bell rang, and Wargrave and others gathered together again. During the meal, everyone deliberately did not mention the events that happened the previous day.

It was not until after the meal that the news of Mrs. Rogers' death was announced.

Everyone had different reactions to this, and the boat that was supposed to arrive at the island at seven or eight in the morning was still missing. Everyone seemed to have lost contact with the land.

At this time, Rogers made a new discovery. One of the small porcelain figures in the living room was missing again, leaving only eight.

Rogers informed everyone of the news.

"It's more interesting!" Barry licked his lips and became more excited.

A place completely disconnected from the world, a perfect island.

From beginning to end, there were only ten people on the entire island, including Wargrave and others who were invited, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Rogers.

Now two people have died one after another according to the method described in the nursery rhyme, plus the little porcelain figure disappeared in real time in the living room.

Barry felt that from this, there was only one truth - the murderer must be among the remaining eight people.

But who is it and why do they want to bring everyone to this isolated island for an extrajudicial "trial"?

How skillfully he killed Anthony and Mrs. Rogers, what techniques he used, and how he continued to fulfill the content of the nursery rhyme.

The level of curiosity in Barry's heart slowly increased again, like a kitten being tickled, prompting him to continue turning the pages and reading non-stop.

Although the Rogers couple claimed that only Wargrave and his wife existed on this island.

However, Armstrong, Colonel Longbottom and three others were not completely convinced by this statement, but felt that there must be someone else on the island.

Either Irving who sent the invitation, or someone else.

So, they conducted a thorough search.

Apart from the cliffs, there were only houses on the island, so they searched the villa thoroughly.

But apart from disgrace, there is no other gain.

Finally, the three of them confirmed the fact that there were only eight of them left on the island.

After confirming this fact, the weakness of human nature was exposed again, and the three Armstrongs first began to suspect each other.

So much time passed in the morning, and the lunch bell rang again.

There were only five people present, including Rogers, and there was no sign of Armstrong or General MacArthur.

While Rogers was putting away the dishes, he suddenly stopped and heard the sound of someone running wildly outside.

After a while, Dr. Armstrong broke in the door and breathlessly spoke General MacArthur's name.

Vera subconsciously blurted out the word "dead", and then received Armstrong's affirmation.

[Eight little soldiers, traveling to Germany; lingering around, only seven of eight are left.]

Another person died, leaving only seven people on the island.

People were dying one after another, and they happened so quickly, which constantly stimulated Barry's senses.

I became increasingly curious about how everything happened, including the truth of the incident.

As MacArthur's body was carried into the house, Vera and Rogers once again discovered that there were only seven small porcelain figures left in the living room.

As the autopsy progressed, everyone was shocked again.

Unlike the previous two, MacArthur's cause of death was not poisoning or a heart attack, but a serious physical injury in a real sense.

The back of the head suffered a fatal blow with a blunt instrument.

At this time, Vargrave, who has a leadership temperament, stood up again and dominated the situation.

Everyone finally began to guess that the so-called "Mr. Owen" was among the remaining seven people.

While causing panic, everyone began to doubt each other again.

They also began to review their respective movements in the morning and questioned the three death cases that had occurred.

But not much progress was made, and Vera claimed to have met General MacArthur about an hour before lunch.

At that time, General MacArthur said, "We are all going to die, and we are waiting for the end."

At the end of the interrogation, no key clues were found, but everyone began to believe that the murderer was lurking among the seven people, and everyone became more vigilant.

The court is temporarily adjourned.

Barry also took a breath and started brainstorming in his mind.

Trying to make some inference analysis based on some existing clues.

Barry is still relatively confident in himself, although when he read the first few books and made inferences, he suffered miserably.
