Su Yi lay in the warm embrace of Mr. Bai.
The eldest young master's white suit seemed to have been freshly ironed and smelled pleasantly warm. His strong arms were holding him, allowing him to rest peacefully in the harbor like a tired boat.
Suddenly, Su Yi felt a little itchy on his leg, as if something had come in... like a thick vine, crawling into his skirt.
The leaves on the vine rubbed his smooth legs again and again, making him feel itchy.
"What are you doing?"
Su Yi opened his eyes dazedly and questioned the eldest young master.
The eldest young master did not speak, his thin lips were pressed into a line, as if he was smiling, his deep eyes under the mask stared at Su Yi, his tone was intimidating without anger, and he suddenly asked:
"Where are your stockings?"
Su Yi woke up suddenly!
He was so scared that he twisted his waist and tried to escape, and quickly got off the young master. Young Master Bai reached out and pressed his waist rudely, not letting him move. He pinched his thigh with his fingertips with calluses, and questioned him in a bad manner:
"Who took it off?"
Su Yi hesitated and was speechless. He couldn't say that it was his third brother who took it off. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the eldest master. He just said:
"I... took it off myself... ugh!"
Young Master Bai sneered and pinched his leg as if he was bullying a tender bamboo shoot, and whispered in Su Yi's ear:
"Little liar."
The eldest young master scratched Su Yi's nose and said, "You have been held hostage by the murderer, how can you take it off by yourself? Tell the truth."
"I……"
Su Yi couldn't say anything. He didn't know what to do. He quickly asked for help in his mind: What should I say now?
Life-saving system: "You don't need to say anything to him. Who does he think he is? Just put your arms around his neck and whimper a few times, then pretend to be very tired and want to sleep. Use your hair to gently rub him a few times to fool him, and he won't pursue the matter."
Su Yi: ...Isn’t this very artificial?
Life-saving system: "Then tell him the truth. Tell him how Mr. Bai held your stockings in his teeth, bit your leg flesh, and asked you to step on his face..."
"Alright, alright!" Su Yi immediately interrupted it in his heart. If he really said it truthfully, there might be bloodshed between the brothers in the Bai family!
"Don't want to tell the truth?" Young Master Bai raised his eyebrows and continued to interrogate him, refusing to let him go.
Su Yi was at a loss, so he decided to follow the instructions of the life-saving system. He didn't dare to look at the expression of the eldest young master, and shamelessly put his arms around the eldest young master's neck, getting close to him, and his black hair with a bridal veil gently rubbed the eldest young master's neck, his voice was soft and gentle, like a spoiled kitten:
"I'm...very tired. I want to take a nap."
Su Yi blushed after saying this, thinking it was too corny. The young master wouldn't really believe in this kind of trick, right?
After waiting for a while, he found that Young Master Bai, who had been so aggressive just now, actually stopped talking, as if he had just let him get away with it.
The wheelchair rolled smoothly, and Young Master Bai held him tightly and drove towards the room.
Su Yi closed his eyes, and before he could rest for two minutes, he heard again:
Buzz, buzz——
Feeling his light screen vibrating, Su Yi quickly loosened his hands around the eldest young master's neck.
Young Master Bai frowned.
Su Yi pretended not to see it, pretending to be busy, and turned on the light screen to check the message. As soon as he opened it, he found that he had been bombarded with several text messages:
-From Fang Postman
[Hi, are you there? Did you vote?]
[I'm right, isn't it Miss Peng? I just went back to my room to catch up on some sleep, and when I woke up I didn't see the news that you've cleared the game, so I'm a little worried.]
[Are you there? Are you there?] The text message was followed by an emoticon of a little rabbit knocking on the door frantically.
Su Yi: ...
[Hahahahaha!]
The audience watching the small TV nearby laughed when they saw these messages, and they were typing crazily in the comments:
[I almost forgot everything! Do you remember that my wife took a nap in the auditorium this morning and ran into Postman Fang when she came out? He had just found some red powder in Peng's room and encouraged my wife to commit suicide.]
[His calculations are going crazy! If his wife passes the level 1st, he can also pass the level 2nd without having to take any risks. If the murderer is not Peng, and he guessed wrong, then his wife is the loser anyway, so he can let his wife spend 1,000 gold coins to ask the system to save her from death.]
[As a result, during this morning and afternoon, the wife first followed the magician, raided his home, and found out that he was a ghost. Then she went to the garden and asked Bai Ye to come and dig up bones. The exploration level increased again. Then she returned to the room and found the pinhole camera, and directly tracked back to determine the murderer's location.]
[He even installed a camera on the murderer and took a precious picture of the murderer's face. After being discovered by the murderer, he remained calm and arranged a series of subsequent plans. Now he has gone from being a hostage kidnapped by the murderer to being the ruthless person who stuffed the murderer into a sack!]
[We are both new here. My wife has done so many things. The postman said: Thanks for the invitation. I took a nap until noon and just woke up. Hahahaha! ]
[It seems like the difference between me and the top student when I was in college. The top student got up, ate breakfast, exercised, memorized English words, reviewed and previewed all the knowledge points, and then did a few papers to warm up. Me: I just woke up, what should I eat for lunch? Let's order a takeaway! ]
Su Yi's small TV was getting louder and louder amidst the laughter and joy. More and more viewers came from nowhere and poured into his live broadcast room. Soon, Su Yi heard the sound of fireworks exploding in congratulations, and the light screen informed him in his ear:
[Congratulations, you are ranked 2nd in the Popularity Top 100 Newcomers Ranking! You are only one place away from the No.1 throne, keep up the good work! ]
"Wife, let's find the right time to prepare for the public exploration!" The life-saving system said in its mind:
"The murderer has been caught. Once it is made public, the No. 1 spot will definitely be ours!
"Honey, you didn't see how arrogant that first-place machine gunner is now! His exploration level is only 25%, but he doesn't even feel ashamed. How long has the dungeon been over? He's still live streaming with the first-place crown on, and his fans are bragging about him being the rookie king and giving him crazy tips. How abominable! Honey, let's give him a slap in the face!"
Su Yi smiled in his heart. The life-saving system seemed to have an inexplicable jealousy towards the machine gun guy, and it even brought up the live broadcast of the NO.1 guy for him:
"Hi~"
Su Yi saw the young man's smiling face appear on his light screen. He waved and said hi to the screen. He wore the No.1 crown on his head and a black leather jacket on his body. He pushed down his sunglasses with his hand, revealing a wanton smile. His teeth were very white, and his every move exuded a carefree and unrestrained aura.
As soon as he appeared in the barrage, people started screaming "Ahhhhh" and giving gold coins like crazy, crackling.
"arrive."
Master Bai pinched Su Yi's leg and reminded him to go back to his room. Su Yi came back to his senses. His light screen was currently in a mode for players to watch. Master Bai didn't know what he was looking at.
The eldest young master sent him back to the bedroom, gently carried Su Yi to the bed, and told him:
"Have a good rest. My third brother and I will go outside to check on the murderer. She was hit by four bullets and may need to have her wounds cleaned before she wakes up."
Su Yi fell into the quilt, with only her little face showing. She nodded obediently, watched the young master push his wheelchair out of the bedroom, and gently closed the door for him.
Su Yi continued to look at his light screen while lying on the bed. He watched the live broadcast of this No.1 guy without any hostility or feeling in his heart. He watched for a while and then turned it off silently.
I focus on exploration simply because I want to know the truth, not to surpass anyone.
However, the murderer is already in his hands, so he is not afraid of other players surpassing him. There is really no need to hide the exploration degree now, but...
"What benefits can I get by making the exploration public now?" Su Yi asked the life-saving system in his heart.
"Hmm..." The life-saving system pondered, "Let me see, maybe I can incite those stupid audiences to get some rare items.
"We have already saved up a lot of gold coins, but your items are still not enough. Many high-level items can only be purchased after leveling up, and leveling up requires a certain number of dungeons. In other words, it takes time. Don't waste your precious time here."
Su Yi sensed a hint of subtext from the few words of the life-saving system. Wasting time on leveling up was considered by the life-saving system to be a worthless thing for him.
"Then where should I spend my time?" Su Yi asked.
Life-saving system: "You'll know after you clear the level. By the way, honey, did you get the reward for breaking the historical record? Hey, why haven't you opened it yet?"
Su Yi seemed to remember that there was such a reward, but he was concentrating on the plot at that time and didn't pay much attention to anything other than the truth.
Ding ding ding! The life-saving system projected the historically-record-breaking reward onto the light screen. Su Yi saw a large, luxurious golden gift box tied with a red silk bow, which looked very luxurious.
Su Yi stretched out his hand, dragged the bow on the light screen, untied the ribbon, and bang! The gift box opened, and in the brilliant golden light, a black... pen emerged.
It looked very ordinary. Su Yi took it with a little surprise. It was really just an ordinary black signature pen that I would use for exams during my school days, 0.5mm, with a needle pen.
"What is this... for?" Su Yi opened the pen cap, and suddenly a line of golden words floated out:
[Congratulations to you, the strongest player who broke the historical record! You have obtained 1 script rewriting pen. After you have it, you can appropriately delete some of the plots you have experienced in subsequent copies! ]
Su Yi: ...! It's a bit useful.
[Please note that the deleted or modified plot must be consistent with the copy logic, and the detailed process needs to be written. Do not use empty words such as "I want to become rich in this copy", as such sentences will not be realized. You can write: I drove a motorcycle to rob the wallet of player A and got the money in his wallet]
[In addition, when the ink of this pen is used up, it will automatically lose its effectiveness, so please use it reasonably]
[For example: You change the plot to: Player A is a pervert. After being robbed by me, he fell deeply in love with me and was madly obsessed with me. I took the train and successfully got away from him. If the pen runs out of ink when you write "I took the train", then you may not be able to successfully get away from him, because the character of Player A has been changed by you into a pervert. Perhaps, he will also take that train and continue to be obsessed with you.]
!
[Finally, please note that this pen is a fully enclosed structure. You cannot disassemble the pen case to see the ink level. Please use it carefully and cherish it!]
Su Yi: "..."
It's really a pen that makes people love and hate it.
Su Yi carefully put the pen back into his backpack. The life-saving system seemed to be busy searching, helping him find what benefits he could get from the current public exploration.
"Found it, wife." The life-saving system said, "The discussion forum outside is crazy about the newcomer with 80% breaking history. There is a nomination in it that guesses it's you."
Su Yi said, "Oh!" and thought to himself, no wonder so many people came to his small TV. He glanced at the screen and saw a lot of comments:
[Just came back from the discussion forum. The more I read the analysis, the more I feel that my wife is a new god who breaks history! We have all witnessed my wife's strength along the way!]
[Wow wow wow my beautiful wife is so smart! And she has been so low-key all the time. Honey, do you think that your exploration level is too high and if it is revealed, it will affect the enthusiasm of other players? That's why you have been hiding it all the time?]
[For example, the machine gun guy next door, if he sees your exploration level at 25%, won’t he just stay where he is?]
[Haha, maybe when he sees his wife he will just say: Hi, wife!]
[Hahahaha, then Baishen is going to beat him up! @白神]
[Let’s fight! Let’s fight hahahaha!]
This... what a mess! Su Yi blushed a little and asked the life-saving system in his heart: "Is the prediction in that discussion forum any good to me?"
Life-saving system: "You know their nature. They started quarreling after nominating you. Now they are quarreling fiercely and want to start gambling! Instead of letting them gamble in the discussion area, where they will make money whether they win or lose, why don't you start gambling directly in the barrage? Let them bet and you will make money!
"Betting and gambling are small facilities for the live broadcast room to interact with the audience. They are sold in the system mall. Honey, your current level is not very high, so you can only buy the lowest level: the prop small casino."
The audience does not need to take out gold coins, they can place bets by taking out props, but the props in [Thriller Script Killing] have a broad meaning. Knives, apples, and other common and cheap things are also props.
Su Yi: "Then...will the audience bet on something valuable?"
Life-saving system: "Haha, if people get too excited, some audience members will throw in high-value rare props to gamble. Gamblers are always anxious.
"After you win, honey, you can pick the three most valuable items from the prize pool, and the rest will be shared with the fans who bet on you to win. Honey, you should pay attention to picking rare items that can improve your luck, because after reaching 100% exploration, the system will give you a lucky draw with a wheel."
Su Yi: "Well, this reward sounds like... a little bit... average?"
Life-saving system: "This reward is very special! The turntable is full of super rare abilities and props, as well as large gold coin rewards, but I think you may not be very interested in these. There is a very, very small super special prize on this turntable, which is also the most valuable reward in the entire script-killing game: realize your wish in advance - experience 10 minutes."
Su Yi was stunned. His wish was to be resurrected and have a "healthy body".
If it can be achieved in advance and he can experience it for ten minutes, that is to say...
He'll... come back to reality!
Su Yi immediately sat up from the bed. He didn't want to rest anymore. This was what he wanted most: to know the truth about this world!
Life-saving system: "Wife, you drew the bride character card. Because the dress-up is more tiring than other players' characters, all the rewards will be multiplied by 1.5. If you can draw the special prize of this turntable, you can experience it for 15 minutes!"
It was equivalent to being able to return to reality for 15 minutes, five minutes longer than others! Su Yi felt that it was really worth it for her to insist on wearing the heavy wedding dress for a whole copy.
Life-saving system: "Wife, I have found a keyboard warrior who scolds you the most. In his backpack is a European Emperor card. We have to win it. He has entered your live broadcast room now!"
Su Yi glanced at the small TV and saw someone typing:
[Coming from the discussion area, emmm, this newcomer is really hard to describe. Doesn’t he know what people are talking about him? How dare he continue to hide his exploration level? Shouldn’t a serious newcomer come out to clarify long ago after seeing so many speculations from the outside world? If he is really the record-breaking master, why not reveal it clearly at the beginning of the dungeon? What’s the point of hiding it? Could it be that he clearly knows he is not, but deliberately doesn’t say it, enjoying the popularity brought by others guessing that he is a master? In terms of character, he is not very good, and in terms of ability, he is just a vase with a pretty face. How can such a person be ranked second on the newcomer list? The current top 100 list is really getting less and less valuable]
This left Su Yi speechless.
If he keeps his exploration level on, what will the players with higher levels than him: Peng the planner, Lin the maid, the old pastor, Chen the lawyer, and the murderer who is secretly watching think when they see him, a newcomer, leading the way all day long? He will definitely be laughed at by the audience in their live broadcast room, and who knows how they will trip him up. The first bird to stick its head out will be shot, and if he encounters anything, this keyboard warrior will not stand up to save him.
As soon as this person's remarks came out, the arguments in the barrage quickly became white-hot. Some people agreed with him and followed suit. They just couldn't stand the newcomers who passed the level just because they looked good. The audience who had been watching Su Xinniang all the way were very dissatisfied and were refuting on a large scale. The keyboard warriors were directly scolded and became angry:
[You women are superficial when you look at dungeons. You can't even walk when you see a pretty boy. You don't understand the real technology at all. You brag about your wife every day. Is there anyone who has played dungeons with the masters like me? Have you seen how the masters play dungeons? I'm going to leave it here today. This newcomer is just like this. He is definitely not the record-breaking master. If you don't agree, leave your ID and go to the discussion area to bet with me]
Biu~
Su Yi, who had never paid much attention to comments, immediately bought the [Prop Casino] and dragged it to his small TV. He said to the screen:
"There's no need to go to the discussion forum and go through all the trouble. Since this guy likes gambling, why not just gamble here?"
Su Yi added: "Girls in front of the screen please don't leave him your ID. Who knows what he wants to do."
[Woo woo woo, okay, wife! I am your obedient puppy, woof woof!]
[Hahaha, keyboard warrior? Brother, say something, why are you silent? The casino is open for you, place your bets?]
The keyboard warriors had not expected this to be the development. As soon as Su Yi put up the casino interactive device, he was directly roasted on the grill, and was tagged crazily by the audience, forcing him to place a bet.
Su Yi got up from the bed, opened the bedroom door, and went to the living room to check on the murderer. There should be clues to the murderer's identity in his personal belongings.
Since the exploration degree is to be made public, it would be best to let the audience see the moment when he unlocks the identity of the murderer. His and the historical records in the hall will instantly increase by 15% at the same time. This would be powerful enough.
Su Yi glanced at the small TV as he walked, wanting to see what props the keyboard warrior had taken out to place his bet.
After a while, a message came: [Ding——This audience has placed a bet in your prop pool: a small utility knife, value: 0.5 gold coins.]
Su Yi: "..."
The comments on the TV exploded: [Really, sir? I really laughed. He rushed in and cursed so much. When he was betting real money: 50 cents for a utility knife. He is indeed a scheming poor man! - Give 150 gold coins to your wife to get rid of the bad luck?! ]
[I laughed my ass off. He is so well-informed and yet he is betting with a real god. He has played a dungeon before, so he took out a 50-cent utility knife to bet? Isn’t it shameful for a stingy poor man, big brother?]
Keyboard warriors can no longer bear it: [What is the dog barking about? I’m afraid that if I really take out something good, you will be scared silly]
The life-saving system is in your heart? He muttered to himself: "Emperor Card, Emperor Card, Emperor Card, give it to me!"
Su Yi asked the life-saving system to help him monitor the situation in the casino and report to him in real time. He walked into the living room and saw the murderer lying on the sofa, with the wounds on his limbs already bandaged.
Young Master Bai turned around, saw Su Yi, and asked, "Aren't you going to rest? She should be awake in a while."
"Did you find anything... unusual on her?" Su Yi said, "Are there any strange tattoos or... marks?"
He wanted to know if Jennifer had a hexagram engraved on her body like the magician's.
"Mark?" Young Master Bai shook his head. "It seems there is none. But..."
Bai Ye interrupted him as if to steal his credit: "This woman's heart is on the right side."
After saying that, he secretly added: "I discovered it."
Young Master Bai rolled his eyes, a little speechless. Su Yi smiled, thinking that Bai Ye was a bit like a dog that wanted to be praised and wanted its owner to pat its head.
If Jennifer's heart was on the right side, then the person who stabbed her should have stabbed her in the left chest according to common sense, so Jennifer should not have died at that time...
Bai Ye: "So the murderer... is Jennifer, right?"
Su Yi still felt a little strange. If Jennifer was the murderer, why did she kill her father, the old pastor?
And as far as Jennifer's murder is concerned, Young Master Bai, Mr. Bai, or generally speaking, their hatred towards the Bai family may be relatively high. But Mr. Bai's death was followed by the death of his fifth wife Grace. What kind of hatred could there be between Grace and Jennifer?
[Ding, ding, ding…]
At this time, Su Yi heard prompt sounds coming from his ears one after another, and the life-saving system announced:
"Wife! That keyboard warrior bet on the European Emperor card! And many people are also betting with him."
Su Yi nodded in his heart to show that he understood. He squatted down and carefully observed the murderer lying there. Suddenly, something flashed on her neck, which attracted Su Yi's attention.
He reached out and pushed aside the murderer's hair, and saw a thin chain around her neck.
Bai Ye also saw this thing, but he thought it was a necklace worn by a woman and didn't pay any attention to it.
Su Yi gently lifted the chain and slowly pulled it up. The thing hanging underneath was a bit heavy, and finally it came out:
It's a small gold pocket watch!
Bai Ye took a look at it from the side, but didn't feel anything after seeing it. He just thought: Oh, a pocket watch.
Su Yi was surprised, and suddenly he knew who the murderer was!
He immediately opened his pocket watch and, sure enough, there were two small words engraved on the inside of the case: PA Island.
At that time, in the study, when they were analyzing the complicated love history of the wealthy Bai family, the maid Lin was repeatedly suspected by the old pastor because of her surname. She explained:
"I really don't know about Lin Xiu. I am an orphan who was adopted when I was young. I lived in poverty. One day I found a very old pocket watch at home. My adoptive parents said that this was stuffed in my swaddling clothes when they found me. Later, I accidentally pried open the pocket watch and found that the parts inside were all made of gold. There were two small words engraved on it: Padma Island."
The murderer with Jennifer's appearance... is actually Lin Xiu!
Lin Xiu from Pa Island, who was the first to have the Lin family's property swindled away by Mr. Bai, Linda, the Bai family's second wife and the magician's mother, was also the woman who was suspected to have been burned to death in the fire that year!
[Ding ding! ! ]
The moment Su Yi figured it out, he and all the viewers of the small TV heard the melodious sound of bells:
[Congratulations to the player Su Xinniang for becoming the first player to successfully track down the murderer in this instance! One-time reward for truth exploration: 15%! ]
At the same time, the historical record in the [Thriller Script Killing] Hall was refreshed in real time to: 95%!
The small TV screen was dark and quiet, with only the gambling pool in the middle filled with overflowing props. Everyone was in speechless shock, and then saw:
Player? Su Xinniang, truth exploration degree: 95%, [status disclosed]! !
Like a huge explosion from the extremely dark universe, an unprecedented frenzy of comments exploded in front of the screen!
"That's all I have to say today."
In another live broadcast room, the rookie champion was broadcasting live. He smiled and said goodbye to his fans as usual. When he saw the camera, the No. 1 crown on his head became more eye-catching under the flash...
suddenly!
The golden crown on his head suddenly faded!
The machine gun guy's say-goodbye smile froze on his face, and his movements were frozen, as if they were stuck.
He, the arrogant and eye-catching No.1, suddenly turned into the gloomy No.2!
Fans in the live broadcast room were also surprised and gasped. Some comments were shouting:
[Everyone, go out and check the rankings! Check the historical records! Oh my god! Witness the birth of a new god!]
The number of people in the live broadcast room dropped by 80%
Machine gun guy: “…”
He coughed twice and said goodbye to the remaining 20%…15% of the audience. Then he immediately ended the broadcast and quickly opened the top 100 newcomers rankings.
He wanted to see which newcomer would snatch his throne?
One point? Open the leaderboard, the machine gun guy was so surprised that his sunglasses almost fell off:
NO.1-Su Xinniang, exploration degree: 95% (historical high)
[Note: This player has a god-like superb level, with a degree of exploration far exceeding the historical record of 62%, and a record of killing 35% of newcomers. He has achieved a hall-level achievement and is hereby recorded in the history books for your admiration]
NO.2- Himself, Exploration Degree: 25%
[Remarks: None]
He, who was once so glorious, now seems simply mediocre in this cruel contrast.
...No way? 95% exploration, this is already? 100%! It takes almost four times as long to kill him, what kind of monster is this No. 1?
The machine gun guy was not convinced, so he clicked on the live broadcast room of the No.1 player. Now the system was broadcasting the highlights of this player in the dungeon on the screen:
In the dim church, under the glow of the stained glass, a slender boy was wearing a snow-white wedding dress, with intricate lace outlining his waist. His profile was delicate and straight, and a tear slipped down his face with worry...
In the sunny garden, the white veil casts a shadow on the smooth forehead, the black eyes are raised, the eyelashes are curled, staring into people's hearts...
In the damp and dark basement, on the overturned iron chair, the poor bride was kidnapped by the murderer. Her legs in white stockings were tied tightly to the chair legs, sticking out from under her skirt...
The machine gun guy stared blankly, his Adam's apple moving unconsciously, and for a moment he even forgot to breathe. He wished he could get into the screen, his eyes fixed on it:
So… so beautiful!
