The major events that happened over the weekend eventually came to everyone's attention in the form of newspaper news.
Within just two days, three players died and were forced to quit the game.
"Are Hu Yue and Li Yuan 'fighting for their crimes' in prison?"
Julian took the initiative to come to Mingmei's place in the afternoon and told Mingmei, Bai Xiao, and Yuan Fang what had happened yesterday morning.
They were quite taken aback at the time, but Julian didn't elaborate on the specifics.
For example, Julian said he didn't know why Hu Yue took action or what exactly happened, and that Hu Yue couldn't explain it either.
Apart from Mingmei, who knew from Lu Xiaoyao's perspective that Julian was actually intentionally keeping it a secret and pretending to test their reactions, everyone else present was completely confused.
They even began to suspect Julian because of this.
Bai Xiao and Yuan Fang realized as early as when Qi Haikui and Li Yuan committed those "backstabbing" acts that they, the players, might also betray each other.
What happened a couple of days ago not only made the newspapers today, but it's also on the front page.
There's no way around it, who wouldn't want to see such an eye-catching headline like #A university teacher had sex with a married woman late at night...#?
Once you get into the content, it's not only explosive, but also terrifying.
The two had an affair, then murdered and buried the body, and now they're evading punishment. Anyone who sees this has to say, "Wow!"
It was just too explosive that Yuan Fang and Bai Xiao's thoughts were in complete disarray.
"Could it be that the BOSS has discovered something?"
A flicker of fear flashed in Bai Xiao's eyes as she guessed what was going on. She and Yuan Fang had noticed Julian's evasive behavior yesterday.
They were more inclined to believe that Julian's silence was due to intimidation from some unknown threat, preventing him from speaking out.
Do you think they did it voluntarily?
Yuan Fang had a vague suspicion that these things might be related to the BOSS, just as Bai Xiao guessed, perhaps Mona had discovered them?
Julian was threatened by the BOSS and secretly sided with Mona.
"It's also possible that Hu Yue discovered that Qi Haikui and Li Yuan had sided with the BOSS, and that's why she took action."
After much thought, Bai Xiao still felt that Hu Yue was a decisive, straightforward, and intelligent person.
Ultimately, she decided to believe Hu Yue and discussed why Hu Yue would have done these things if she had discovered the truth.
"By the way, where's Mingmei? You've been alone in the shop all morning."
Bai Xiao came to the store today and Yuan Fangguang was only looking at the newspaper. They talked for a long time about the half-true and half-false content in the news. Only now did she realize that Mingmei was not in the store.
“Mingmei has been out a lot these past few days, so I don’t know much about her,” Yuan Fang shook his head. “But it seems she’s discovered something.”
...
"How much do you think Hu Yue must have believed in Lu Xiaoyao?"
What's increasingly frustrating for law enforcement is that Mingmei has now escalated to coming to see them even during the day, buying two breakfasts and claiming it's to treat them to breakfast.
As a result, from the moment he sat down, his bright mouth never stopped, rambling on and on about the information he had gathered over the past two days.
"There's nothing we can do even if you don't believe it. No one is closer to Mona than Lu Xiaoyao..."
As he said this, the law enforcement officer sucked the soft tofu pudding into his mouth. Then, as if he remembered something, he didn't say anything, but simply added a small steamed bun and ate it.
“That’s true… However, Mona’s former best friend was a girl…” Mingmei frowned, thought for a moment, and then mentioned Bai Xiao and Yuan Fang to the other person, saying that in the original story setting, Mona did indeed have a best friend.
It's not the character Lu Xiaoyao; she has actually passed away.
Do you know what the original story's plot was about this girl?
"There's not much of a story. In the original story, Mona didn't actually have any friends in high school."
"Huh?"
"The girl who had grown up with her later moved away and started a new life and made new friends in another place, and they corresponded with each other through letters."
Mona knew that the other person had gone to a completely new place, a fresh start, and that everything in their life was going very well. The letters, between the lines, seemed to be filled with the scent of sunshine, that kind of…
"Was the story of those letters the trigger for Mona's already unbalanced mindset?"
After listening to what the other person had to say, Mingmei offered her own opinion.
"No~" The enforcer shook his head and smiled, saying that Mei had underestimated Mona's twisted mentality.
"She was actually very happy. Her mother had given her a new father, and she was in a new environment. It was a new beginning for her. Her friend was learning to start over, and she was starting a new beginning too."
The law enforcement officer's description of Mingmei didn't seem to impress Mona at all. Just listening to it, it was easier to understand that the two sisters were exchanging letters and encouraging each other.
"So, Mona's fresh start was to kill everyone who disliked her and imprison those she liked by her side." The enforcer's words made Mingmei feel terrible.
Bright and beautiful: ? ? ?
"Mona felt no guilt whatsoever about these things, and even took them for granted. She felt that as long as they liked each other, they could do anything for each other."
Bright and beautiful: ?
That doesn't sound right either!
"So in the original story, she turned evil silently without even knowing it herself. After she took control of that body, she learned about the original story's arrangements. She didn't understand why she did that, or why she still had such a tragic end after doing so."
The law enforcement officers were talking animatedly, completely unaware that Mingmei was giving them a strange look.
"So, she later thought, what would it be like if other people had the same experience as her... What's wrong with you, why do you think of me like that?"
As he spoke, the law enforcement officer noticed that Mingmei's gaze was becoming increasingly strange.
Why didn't you say these things a couple of days ago?
"I didn't know a couple of days ago."
"You found out today?"
“I specifically asked someone to find out more.” The law enforcement officer emphasized the word “person,” and Mingmei immediately recognized who he was referring to.
How could this person contact her uncle in the game?
[Hey, can I contact my uncle in the game?]
[This is generally not allowed, but you have the right to make emergency contact.]
"So tell me, who has higher authority, me or the other person?"
Gui Gui: [I advise you to have some self-awareness.]
Bright and beautiful: [? ? ? ? ]
"Don't worry, you can tell someone if you need anything." Seeing Mingmei's increasingly puzzled look, the law enforcement officer smiled again and again.
While Mingmei was lost in thought, the other person finished his breakfast. He seemed to find Mingmei a bit annoying, so he said, "If you want to find out anything else, I think you can start with Mona's mother."
