The players, already confused by Mu Chen, were constantly switching between "I still have my senses" and "Actually, I'm just a big fool whose eyes are blinded by filters."
So, when Mingmei reappeared in front of everyone the next morning, she found that the players were still able to greet her calmly and even said they were going out.
Yes, the kind of exit you take through the main entrance.
"How long will you be gone? Do you need us to prepare lunch?"
Even though everyone knew that the lunch at the shop was just water, they still wavered in the face of Mingmei's sincere inquiry, so Da Yao was the first to speak up and say that she could make some.
"Alright, be careful and don't get separated from others."
Mingmei's worried tone after she finished speaking made their initial wariness of her, which had been mixed with their positive feelings towards her, somewhat dissipated.
Da Yao and Wang Wenfei were the most shaken by this.
How could an NPC who "looks like Mingmei" be a bad person?
They still remembered everything they had discussed the night before.
They decided not to continue investigating the vegetable garden. There were dismembered corpses in the garden, and a dense forest outside. If they encountered evil spirits, it would be their home turf. They decided to go out through the main gate and see what the world outside was like.
The main road in front offers a wide view, making it a much better place to fight than from behind, right?
So, early in the morning, they braved the heavy rain and left the hotel together.
As soon as they left the hotel, they turned around and saw the hotel's main entrance, which they hadn't noticed the night before when they were focused on moving forward.
Just like from the back, the front of the hotel was also very dilapidated, with moss-covered walls, faded and peeling signs, and what looked like a note stuck to the drafty door.
"this……"
Julian walked over and glanced at the torn "notes" still stuck to the wall and door. Although they were very blurry, he still managed to tell from his knowledge of the role: "It's a police station seal."
As he spoke, Julian looked up. Standing in the real world outside, looking into the house, the once clean and retro inn with A-Nian now appeared dirty and messy, filled with dilapidation and disorder, and—
A woman covered in blood, her hair disheveled and obscuring her face, stood behind a bar covered in cobwebs and dust.
Julian: !!!
When everyone saw Julian suddenly take a few steps back, almost slipping on the muddy ground and being steadily supported by Charlie, they followed Julian's terrified gaze and looked at him.
"hiss!!"
Everyone gasped in shock and, supporting Julian, stumbled back several steps!
"Holy crap! Is that the boss?"
Charlie simply couldn't believe that the real-life counterpart of his beautiful female boss could be so terrifying!
"How much torture must they have suffered before they died? Covered in blood..." cascoo.net
Wang Wenfei had already directly attributed the blood on Mingmei's dead body to Mingmei herself.
Da Yao, standing to the side, shook her head repeatedly in regret: "This is too tragic! By the way, what about her partner? And you... what did the mysterious merchant's death look like?"
Just as Da Yao said this, they mustered up their courage once again and peeked into the house, wanting to see Mu Chen, who had always seemed to treat them very well.
As a result, this time the shock was even greater than the last time!
What came into their view was a man wearing a raincoat with his head covered in blood!
The other person, who was crouching low, was embracing Mingmei from behind. As if sensing their gaze, the person suddenly looked up—
Holy crap!
Mu Chen's pale, bluish-purple face instantly broke the players' guard.
Is this really a two-in-one combination?!
The evil spirit in the raincoat who once chased after them was Mu Chen!
Instinctively, everyone's bodies betrayed their fear; with expressions of terror on their faces, they immediately took off running!
It was as if a voice inside me was telling me that as long as I didn't go back to the store, everything would be fine!
"Game designer! You XXXX!"
Terrified, the players ran through the rain and then suddenly looked up at the sky and roared!
...
"Pfft~"
Seeing the players' expressions of utter disbelief as they looked at him and then turned and ran away, Mu Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing.
On the contrary, judging from the players' gazes and reactions, they had missed important information again!
Mingmei stared with dead fish eyes at the blood-stained noose hanging directly in front of the bar.
For a moment, they felt despair that the players hadn't discovered such an important clue.
Seeing the hanging rope makes it easy to imagine that she was actually hanged in the end, right?
The "evil spirit" loves to chop people with an axe, and her unusual way of dying seems very strange, leading to the conclusion that she may have committed suicide.
Then, it's possible that she might be the legendary "evil spirit," right?
result……
"Won't they get killed by the Zerg if they go to the battlefield like this?"
Mingmei asked with a hint of sympathy.
···
After the party ended that night, she remembered asking her brother why he wanted to return to Hualan Star. Her second brother only said that within the next ten years, there would inevitably be a fierce war between humanity and the Zerg.
Although military academies in interstellar space typically take 5 to 10 years to graduate, once war breaks out, cadets with three or more years of experience can participate in the war.
Mingmei felt heartbroken when she thought about how her classmates acted recklessly and thought they were being clever in the game.
"Who knows? There are still several years to go, and there's still a chance to salvage the situation."
