Fear departed with the darkness, and the not-yet-fully-dawned light slowly crept in.
Finally, dawn broke.
[Congratulations to the player for completing Task 1: 100 points, total 300 points.]
Current points: 300
Current ranking: 18 (55 players participating)
[Countdown: 3, 2, 1...]
[The next level is now open. Please prepare.]
A door emitting white light appeared in front of each person, and at the same time, a dark shadow shone from the white light, sucking the person in in the blink of an eye.
[Task 2: One of the players is the murderer, who will try their best to hide themselves. The game starts at 8:08 PM. Since players join the game temporarily, you will receive an extra 100 points if you win. Therefore, please make reasonable deductions to find the murderer and you will receive 600 points.]
[Friendly reminder: Unlike other players, you will need to enter the deduction storyline. You only have 30 minutes to examine clues.]
The white light before her eyes dissipated, and she found herself standing on solid ground. Only then did Wu Yue realize that she had arrived at a new mission location.
This is a villa estate. At this moment, she is standing in a garden full of blooming flowers, where the air is filled with their fragrance.
She was all alone.
Wu Yue hesitated for a moment, then walked through the corridor and into the manor.
Then Wu Yue heard—
"All players, please assemble in the lobby! Something has happened!" The announcement came from the loudspeaker in the manor lobby.
She quickly followed the sound and found five faceless figures in the hall. No, it should be said that each of them had the letters A, B, C, D, and E on their faces.
The emoticons are kaomoji (emoticons) from comics.
"..."
This design is so rough!
Wu Yue rubbed her temples. She was a little confused. But thankfully, it had nothing to do with ghosts, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she saw A speak: "It's 10:08 PM now, and another person has died."
"Could we be next...?" B said fearfully.
C sneered, "Everyone is here. The murderer is among the six of us. No one can escape."
Wu Yue scanned the group twice, confirming that C's group of six included herself.
As long as it's not a ghost, Wu Yue has a great attitude, the kind of attitude that's good enough to set off firecrackers.
D leaned against the pillar, her eyes showing a hint of disgust: at such a serious moment, why did she look so nonchalant, and what was she smiling about?
What an annoying woman, haha.
Seemingly sensing D's unfriendly gaze, Wu Yue lazily looked over, a faint smile playing on her thin lips.
When she looked over, D was already looking away.
A, who was in charge of the overall situation, spoke with great enthusiasm: "There are still two hours before the murderer makes his move. Now, please go to different places to look for clues. We will meet in the hall in an hour and a half to share the clues. Please do not lie or hide anything."
What A said makes perfect sense. It's all for everyone's lives and for everyone's mission, so it's time to share the clues.
But if they fail to find any clues, and the clues they share lead the killer to target them, then... that's something to consider.
The four members of BCDE all lowered their heads and remained silent.
The hall fell silent again in an instant.
Wu Yue thought for a moment and suggested, "Let's go over what happened and the clues. Thank you for your help." When she said "you," Wu Yue was looking at A-zi.
To some extent, she was gathering clues she hadn't been involved in. And finding A was the most suitable option, since he had just been controlling the situation like a host.
A nodded in agreement, “W is right. Let’s go over it. After the system finished explaining the rules, I didn’t dare to move around. Because I didn’t understand the situation. Also, I thought I was the first one to arrive at this game, but I found out I wasn’t. I had only been here for a few seconds when a player died. I’m sure the murderer was the first one to arrive and was given the identity of murderer hunter by the system.”
