"But that's difficult, isn't it?"
Mingmei felt a little uneasy.
Having to do the villain's mission while also covering up my villainous nature feels a bit unreliable. "Besides, there will always be clues in the game that will eventually point all the evidence at me, and I..."
"There are no buts. Just kill them all before they can react."
After saying that, Mu Chen released his hand from Mingmei's eyes, his dark and deep pupils meeting hers, and said in an encouraging tone, "Believe me, you can do it."
Mingmei: "..."
No wonder he has experience playing villainous bosses.
Lu Xiaoyao and the others had no idea that the mysterious merchant who had gently revealed information to them that morning had actually instigated the villainous boss to kill them. After eating their vegetable and tofu lunchbox at noon, they were already planning to go to the vegetable garden.
When they went downstairs again, they saw Mingmei sitting at the front desk reading by candlelight.
Even during the day, the shop was not very bright. With the door wide open, in addition to the rain splashing in front of the door, the thunder and rain outside made the sky much darker.
"Huh? You're going to the vegetable garden now?"
Despite knowing their plan through the live stream, Mingmei pretended to know nothing, glanced worriedly outside, and said, "But the weather is so bad. Why don't you wait a little longer and go out when the rain subsides a bit?"
"ah……"
Just as Lu Xiaoyao was about to refuse Mingmei, she looked at the "NPC" with a face similar to her friend's and then at the rumors and speculations they had heard that morning. Lu Xiaoyao began to waver.
She turned to look at Julian and the others. Julian, who had also noticed the unusually heavy thunderstorm at noon, nodded in agreement and said, "Let's wait a bit longer."
As they spoke, the group turned and went upstairs again. Mingmei watched their departing figures and lowered her head slightly, the gentleness on her face completely gone.
She then bent down, took out the raincoat and axe that she had hidden under the counter earlier that morning, and left...
After a while, the rain really did subside, and Julian took Lu Xiaoyao and Hu Yue downstairs.
As soon as they went downstairs, they found that Mingmei was no longer in her original spot; instead, Mu Chen was there.
Seeing them come down, Mu Chen smiled and pointed to the umbrellas on the counter, saying, "My wife just took a nap. Before she took her nap, she told me to take these umbrellas out, saying that you would need them when you went out to check on the vegetable garden."
Thank you all!
Leng Youyou stared at the large, colorful umbrellas, and suddenly a sense of guilt rose in her heart.
To be honest, she had been suspecting that the couple working at the shop weren't good people since last night until this morning.
As it turns out, it seems that the game designers simply made the originally good characters seem less like good people in order to create an atmosphere in the early stages.
Looking at it now, I realize he was such a good person!
