"Aren't you going to do anything about this, officer?"
Lou Jia couldn't stand it any longer and turned to the police officers who were watching the commotion for help. What he got in return was that the police officers silently put up a cordon around the entire area, including the area within a 20-meter diameter of the building.
They just do the work, they don't reply.
At this moment, Mingmei, who had just driven her car into the cordon, was also notified not to leave, otherwise she would be considered an accomplice of the suspect.
Bright and beautiful: 0.0!!!
She's just an innocent lunchbox vendor who barged in!
Is this all the NPCs are good for in this game?
Immediately afterwards, Mingmei witnessed Lou Jia, who was already dumbfounded, having his hands tightly grasped by a police officer who looked like the leader of the group, who said with a sincere expression, "I'm entrusting everything to you, Mr. Lou!"
After saying that, he left two junior police officers behind and the rest of the officers retreated.
The speed of their retreat made it seem like the case was closed!
Players: ? ?
After the police officers left, the others turned their attention to the two remaining NPCs, their eyes filled with reproach.
What's wrong with you NPCs?!
Even if you're playing a police officer in a game, don't be so perfunctory!
The remaining two NPCs, however, gave everyone a simple and honest smile, leaving them speechless and unsure of what to say.
This person doesn't seem to have a very high IQ.
So, it turns out that NPCs also have varying levels of intelligence?
...
"So, we can't leave until the case is closed?"
Hearing the words spoken by these two NPCs, who had already been labeled as not very intelligent, everyone was speechless for a moment.
"Weren't we supposed to be playing an escape game? This feels more like a detective murder mystery game!" Li Yuan, who had been keeping to himself, suddenly spoke up, voicing the unease that everyone had felt from the beginning.
"Oh yeah, it seems like only one person died in this game, and it was an NPC?"
Thinking it over, Lu Xiaoyao rushed to the body that had been killed by a falling object. After carefully examining the face and confirming that it wasn't a real player, she voiced her guess: "This doesn't seem like the style of a survival game, where you just catch the killer? No, I think it's definitely more than that."
Mingmei noticed Lu Xiaoyao's sudden display of intelligence and praised her for becoming smarter. Mingmei also thought Lu Xiaoyao's comments were quite good.
However, Lu Xiaoyao is the kind of person who can't focus for more than three seconds, so she immediately said, "In this round, we're not only supposed to find the murderer, but also kill him?"
Lu Xiaoyao's words, spoken in front of JC, naturally attracted the attention of the two NPCs present.
“The suspects will naturally be punished by law once they are caught.”
I don't know how much character these two police officers have created, but some of the things they say sound quite plausible at first glance.
However, when the players recalled the scene of a large group of people retreating just now, they still looked at the two NPCs in front of them with disbelief.
Faced with the earnest gazes of these two NPCs, everyone responded in unison with a heartfelt yet perfunctory reply: "Oh~"
Two police officers: OK, do as you please~
"Alright, whether the game's planners are just being lazy or not, let's finish the game first."
Lou Jia clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention back once again.
Meanwhile, the chat in Lu Xiaoyao's live stream was already in complete chaos:
As someone who has played this new game, I can confidently tell you that this game—hahaha, is rife with pitfalls! And people will be dying constantly.
[As expected of Yan Gou! His games are all incredibly annoying; I still vividly remember that game from the New Year holiday!]
Can I say that I spent money on takeout food but still couldn't beat that game?
[+1.]
Suddenly, the comments section was filled with complaints about the new game "Mountain God" that was released around the New Year. After that, besides the game, I also browsed the forums and read a lot of complaints about it.
Some players did discover the hidden storyline of the Mountain God, but unfortunately, the NPC in their game who was a combination of the Mountain God and the Mysterious Merchant was much more ruthless than Mingmei.
Aside from the normal part of selling boxed lunches, it doesn't provide any information that helps players advance the story, and it often does things in the opposite direction, leaving players completely bewildered.
And so, one player managed to hold out until the end, which was quite impressive, before finally dying at the hands of the Mountain God when he discovered the Mountain God storyline.
Mingmei even specifically asked a few players to play through the Mountain God storyline. Without exception, the character she played was the least corrupted, and in the end, she even betrayed the evil spirit and killed it. The other players' characters were basically completely complicit with the evil spirit.
At the time, Mei Shi only felt a little proud.
That kind of aura that sets him apart from all the villains, and that tiny bit of superiority!
Yes, Mingmei is very satisfied.
[Ha! Expensive boxed lunches are nothing compared to this round—are you sure there are real and fake boxed lunches? Let me tell you, buying the wrong boxed lunch is a real disaster! I'm saying it three times because it's important!]
【Huh? Explain this in more detail. Could it be that there's rat poison in the fake lunchbox?】
No, no, no, let me tell you a scary story—the real lunchbox looks more like a fake one.
【！！！】
Bright and beautiful: ? ? ?
In what way is she inferior to the person selling fake boxed lunches?
Mingmei was quite dissatisfied with the comments on the screen, but when she looked up, she heard Lu Xiaoyao say again, "You look like someone I know~"
