"Starting From a Script Murder Mystery Store" physical book crowdfunding has begun.
Q: How to run a script murder mystery store?
Jiang Qi: Simple.

Chapter 1
According to the store's habit of recruiting people to test the capital, if possible, they would use people from the store. If there were not enough people in the store, half of the store staff like Zhou Yuan and Gong Ye would be used to make up the difference. If there were still not enough people, other customers would be used.
"Red Tears" is a 9-person game, and all the full-time and part-time employees who are free at night in the store are less than 9 people. Zhou Yuan has to work overtime, and Gong Ye has not recovered from the sequelae of "Horror Doll House". When he heard that it was a horror game, he said that he had something tonight and was sorry that he could not participate. Chengzi could only find ordinary customers to test the game.
Under the temptation of half price, Orange quickly gathered players to test the game tonight, and the test will start on time at 7 o'clock tonight.
The price was set by Beru, 168 per person. She said that there are quite a lot of plots in this script, so this price is reasonable.
Logically speaking, Jiang Qi should have participated in the test tonight, but he had never watched "Red Tears" before, and there was a high probability that he would go directly into his memory when playing the game.
If the book was being tested and entered into memory like in the previous "Time Cinema", the people in the store would probably have to ask a master to perform a ritual under Gong Ye's introduction.
Jiang Qi has already asked Bei Ru, the process of "Red Tears" is very normal, without any fancy moves.
Therefore, Jiang Qi felt that for this test, he could just watch from the sidelines and see how everyone reacted. At most, he could look at the host manual. Safety came first.
As for reading the book seriously, you can wait until the internal test is over and take the book home to read.

7pm.
"Good evening, Boss Jiang!"
What Jiang Qi didn't expect was that among the ordinary guests who came to take the test tonight, there were actually two not-so-ordinary guests.
Fang Boyuan and Xu Jingxuan.
A couple played the "Horror Doll House" on the Ghost Festival.
Witness the entire process of the most searched event, play the horror script in the same room with the blood-stained human traffickers, and after experiencing/seeing Lili's full set of deluxe horror package, you are still willing to come to the Galaxy Script Club to play the horror script.
I can only say that this couple really has something.
"Boss Jiang, are you also participating in the internal test tonight?" Xu Jingxuan asked.
Jiang Qi shook his head: "I have something to do tonight, I will probably just watch for a while and then leave."
Xu Jingxuan still felt a little regretful.
Just when Xu Jingxuan wanted to say something else, Jiang Qi's WeChat phone rang. It was Manager Xu calling.
Manager Xu usually sends a message directly when he has something to do, and calls to indicate that it is urgent. Jiang Qi made an apologetic gesture and expression to Xu Jingxuan, and walked to the side to answer the phone.
"Hello."
"Hey, Mr. Huang and his five friends want to come over and continue playing the game "Kill the Script Killing Shop Owner" that they didn't finish this morning. Can you continue playing it tonight?"
Jiang Qi was a little puzzled: "Don't Manager Huang and his friends have my WeChat? They just added me yesterday afternoon, why didn't they ask me directly?"
"...You may not believe this, but Manager Huang and his friends didn't leave any notes when they added you on WeChat. You know the WeChat of the script-killing shop owner. There are dozens of new private messages a day, and none of them can remember your WeChat name and profile picture."
"This is actually normal. It's hard not to lose memory after playing for 15 hours straight."
Why do Manager Huang and his team sound so inspiring? They insist on making money even after losing their memory.
"Wait a moment, let me take a look at tonight's work." Jiang Qi switched his phone interface to the work group and looked at the latest work schedule. "I'm afraid it won't work tonight. Teacher John is working on other work."
"Okay, I'll tell Boss Huang and the others. By the way, this book is still in our store. I'll send it to you later."
"OK."
Both parties hung up the phone at the same time.
Less than two minutes later, Manager Xu called again.
"Manager Huang and his team said we can continue playing even without DM."
Jiang Qi: ???
"They said they could continue playing by themselves first, and then wait for DM to come and review it with them. I think they might think that they played for 15 hours before because their minds were not clear after staying up all night. Now that they have had a good sleep and their minds are clear, they feel that they can do it again." Manager Xu analyzed calmly.
"What if they work all night again?" Jiang Qi still remembered that Old John said that the book would not be completed if it was not completed, but Manager Huang and his men were stubborn and refused to ask DM to help the car.
Before, people didn’t DM to help the car, but now, they just don’t DM at all.
A mature script-killing store owner will learn to play script-killing games independently.
"It's okay to cook all night. Our midnight snacks and drinks are not free anyway."
Boss Huang and his team didn't spend any money on the test yesterday, but they spent several hundred on curry rice and coffee, which is almost enough to make them lose money.
"Okay." Jiang Qi hung up the phone again, and suddenly felt that if he had money, he could buy a marketing advertisement specifically for this matter.
He has even thought of the title for the ad.
"The 15-hour script-killing game that made the five script-killing shop owners unable to stop was actually..."
Sorry for thinking too far ahead.
By the time Jiang Qi came to his senses, the people who were testing the book had gone upstairs for a while. Wang Erya was sitting at the bar watching the store, watching an origami tutorial video by an unknown up master, the kind that only showed the hands but not the face, obviously she was learning.
"Er Ya, I'll go upstairs and take a look. You keep an eye on the store."
"Okay boss."
Jiang Qi went upstairs.
"Red Tears" is a modern and contemporary work set in the Republic of China. Unfortunately, there is no room with a Republic of China theme in the store, so the show can only be performed in the largest ancient-style room with a screen for easy performance.
The door was not closed, making it very convenient for Jiang Qi to go in.
When Jiang Qi went in, everyone was reading the script. Bei Ru was standing at the door holding the host manual, looking a little nervous and seemingly going over the lines.
It wasn't long before the book was finished and everyone started chatting.
From everyone's conversation, Jiang Qi could tell that although the story in "Red Tears" was set in the Republic of China, the time background was actually modern.
The identities of all the players here are actually directors and actors.
This is a low-budget horror film crew. Because they have no money, they hired new actors and a new director. In order to make this movie, which is likely to fail, have some gimmicks, the investors rented a famous haunted studio and filmed what is said to be real events on the studio during the Republic of China.
The studio rented by the investor was a theater during the Republic of China period. It was very popular at one time and many dignitaries went to watch it. At that time, the most popular actress in the troupe of this theater was Huang Li. It was said that Huang Li was very pretty and was favored by the young master of a wealthy family who wanted to make her his third concubine.
But Huang Li has a lover, who is her senior brother, and they have been childhood sweethearts.
What happened next was a bit cliché. The young master used his power and money to force the troupe owner to break up the couple. Huang Li married into a wealthy family and became the third concubine. Within two years, she was tortured to death. In order to avenge Huang Li, the senior brother attempted to assassinate the young master, but was caught on the spot and tortured to death.
The ill-fated couple eventually turned into evil spirits, demanding the young master's life and hanged him in the theater.
Because of the haunted legend, this theater naturally went out of business.
Later, the theater escaped the war and was converted into a theatre. Then strange things happened. People in the theater often heard a woman singing at night, and occasionally heard crying.
At first they thought someone thought the theater was well decorated and came here to secretly practice singing. After a period of searching, they found that there was no one there and it might be haunted. In addition, strange things happened one after another in the theater, so the theater closed down and was eventually rented out by an investor who wanted to make a gimmick to shoot a movie.
When Beiru first read the book, she said that this book must have a female NPC who can sing, because this female NPC who can sing is the only ghost in this script, and she basically sings as soon as she appears.
Soon, it was time for the female ghost played by Xingzi to make her first shining appearance.
Xingzi put on a full set of costumes, but without any makeup on her face, and stood behind the curtain without making any movements.
Jiang Qi had just asked Xingzi outside the door. When the female ghost appeared, she only made a sound but did not show her face. There was no need to draw the curtain. She changed into her costume so early simply because it was very beautiful and Xingzi wanted to wear it.
Since Xingzi does not have the skill bonus of playing herself, the lights have to be manually controlled by Beru.
Everyone in the room was discussing happily when the lights suddenly went out.
The voice paused.
Xingzi opened her mouth and a resentful voice of a girl came from behind the curtain.
It can only be said that there is a real difference between those who have really learned and those who are just amateurs singing with pinched throats. Jiang Qi stood at the door, looking at the host manual in Beiru's hand in the light from outside.
'On the stage...'
Jiang Qi hadn't even seen the fifth word clearly when he saw white in front of his eyes.
Holy shit, this is even possible?!
He only read four words!
Jiang Qi entered the memory.
