Chapter 290 Who's the coward?



"you……"

Hearing the commotion, Aiqisi, who was carrying a boxed lunch, happened to see Mu Chen staring intently at the businesswoman, whose ears were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

The sudden appearance of Mingmei and Mu Chenbie and Ai Qisi interrupted their romantic atmosphere.

The two turned around and met Aiqisi, who was holding a lunchbox and looked completely bewildered. Mingmei was still a little angry and ashamed, so she immediately abandoned Mu Chen and turned around and rushed back into the carriage like an ostrich, leaving Aiqisi and Mu Chen standing there.

After watching Mingmei leave, Mu Chen turned to look at Ai Qisi, his face immediately losing all expression, his eyes filled with displeasure.

Interrupting someone's romantic relationship will get you struck by lightning.

However, Aiqisi looked at Mu Chen and finally said through gritted teeth, "How can you be so tasteless? You're even willing to toy with the feelings of NPCs for the sake of a game?"

Mu Chen: ? ? ?

Why does this sentence sound so familiar to him?

"Senior."

"What's up?"

"Are you really from the Imperial Central Military Academy?"

Mu Chen's sudden question made Ai Qi Si instantly clench her lunchbox.

"Of course!"

Aiqisi's decisive and affirmative answer did not receive any further response from Mu Chen. Seeing him turn and leave, leaving her standing there in a daze, Aiqisi's heart couldn't help but feel uneasy again.

So, has the other party already discovered some flaw?

No way!

...

No sooner had Mingmei returned to the restaurant than Julian followed her up, inquiring about the boxed lunches and discovering that Mingmei was a mysterious businessman.

"I wonder how many players here have already bought boxed lunches?"

"Not many, maybe two or three."

Can you tell me who it is?

"I'll consider it if you buy my boxed lunch." Mingmei crossed her arms and looked at the man in front of her. Seeing that he was only asking questions and not buying boxed lunches, she really didn't want to talk.

He keeps asking all sorts of questions but doesn't buy any boxed lunches. Could this guy be one of the murderers?

"Oh, right, please give me one of each of the items that should be bought."

Seeing that the merchant NPC seemed unhappy, Julian immediately offered two portions as well.

Sure enough, buying a boxed lunch visibly improved Mingmei's mood. She quickly handed the lunch to the other person, and Julian sniffed it again before hearing Mingmei reply earnestly, "So far, you're the fourth person to buy a boxed lunch. You all bought the same thing; I won't go into the specific list."

In the end, Mingmei chose not to tell Julian who exactly bought the boxed lunches, but only gave him a number.

Thank you.

He wasn't annoyed by Mingmei's answer. He smiled slightly and left with his lunchbox. As he left, he muttered to himself, "Sigh, what if other players come to buy it and find that they've already bought it? Wouldn't it have been a waste of money?"

Mingmei: "..."

He doesn't look like a bad person.

After that, to Mingmei's great surprise, everyone except Lu Xiong, A Yao, and Mandyson bought boxed lunches, two boxes each.

This... really can't be?

Are murderers really that well hidden?

The way these boxed lunches were selling made Mingmei wonder if the two people on the bus who didn't buy boxed lunches were the murderers.

When night fell and all the players returned to the train, they brought news that shocked everyone—Wang Wenfei had died and was eliminated!

"No way?! Feifei is gone?!"

When the group returned to the train and relayed the message, Lu Xiaoyao was the first to explode.

"What are you guys doing? How did Feifei suddenly disappear? Did you vote for Feifei?"

"No, the murderer who caused Wang Wenfei's elimination is someone hidden among us."

Mu Chen revealed the information he found in his lunchbox: the killer would also murder players when they were alone.

Meanwhile, the stunned expressions of Lu Xiaoyao and Madison, who had previously refused the boxed lunch, instantly dispelled the tense atmosphere.

Look at my kid, and that big guy too, these two... sigh~

[It's heartbreaking that my little one missed lunch again.]

Is Lu Xiaoyao an idiot?

[Get lost, you in front! Doesn't the management care about this?]

...

Mingmei never expected that Wang Wenfei would be the first to die.

She clearly knew she would be killed when she was alone, so she shouldn't have let her guard down and been alone...

Thinking about this, Mingmei remembered that when she went out with Mu Chen earlier, Mu Chen came back to check on Ai Qisi and he was indeed alone.

Was it around that time that Wang Wenfei was alone?

However, Mu Chen did not mention that he had previously acted together with Wang Wenfei, only saying that they exchanged information in the restaurant car before leaving separately.

“I’d like to know which of you here have already eaten your boxed lunches,” Aiqis said, stepping forward. “Now that we’ve brought up the boxed lunch issue, let’s all work together to identify the killer’s characteristics.”

So, apart from Lu Xiaoyao, everyone shared the characteristics they had randomly selected.

Some of them are repeated.

For example, Mu Chen, Julian, and Mu Ning all reminded people not to be alone, as the murderer would kill the lone murderer.

Both Nanami and the deceased Wang Wenfei share a common characteristic: there is more than one murderer, and they are of different genders.

Only Aiqisi received a different information than the others; she received information that one of the murderers was a coward.

"A coward?"

As soon as she said that, everyone else present turned to look at Nanami Aoi, who had been sitting in the corner and hadn't said a word.
