The moment Shen Yizhou took the first bite, his taste buds were blown away. He looked at He Tiantian and commented, "Not bad, quite delicious."
He Tiantian heard the satisfied comment and then lowered her head to eat her meal.
The way the two ate was a stark contrast: Shen Yizhou chewed slowly, while He Tiantian stuffed food into her mouth.
After eating and drinking her fill, He Tiantian touched her swollen belly, feeling very satisfied. Suddenly, a loud argument broke out at the next table; it was the couple arguing.
The two were arguing so fast that He Tiantian couldn't hear them at all and could only stare blankly.
Hearing the commotion, the waiter immediately ran over to stop the woman. He Tiantian only heard her hear the woman curse, "You bastard! May your son be born without an anus!"
The man was instantly enraged. He raised his hand and overturned the hot soup on the table, splashing it directly onto the woman's face. Ignoring the pain, the woman rushed over and slapped him repeatedly.
Seeing this, Shen Yizhou quickly stood up and pulled He Tiantian to the side. Not long after, the man and woman went to the table where they had just been eating.
He Tiantian was slightly surprised. If Shen Yizhou hadn't pulled her away, she would have chosen to sit there and watch, which would have resulted in her being accidentally injured.
The two stood by and watched this dramatic scene unfold. Soon after, the police arrived and took both the man and woman away. The boss also came out with them.
"Everyone, I'm so sorry, but this meal is on the house." The owner said this confidently before leaving.
He Tiantian couldn't help but praise the boss for his generosity, while Shen Yizhou, speechless, pulled her away, thinking, "What an idiot..."
"Where are we going?" He Tiantian asked curiously.
"Go back to your room first. In half an hour, the players will gather to investigate the case. Remember to bring your newspaper." Shen Yizhou said before returning to his room.
He Tiantian was left standing alone at his room door, questioning her life choices. Huh? No, why did we have to gather together to investigate? Shouldn't we each investigate our own cases?
With a puzzled look, He Tiantian opened her bedroom door, kicked off her shoes, lay down on the bed, and picked up the newspaper again.
After looking for a while, I still couldn't figure it out. Since I'm going to investigate the case, I'll take a shower first, hehe.
She opened her packed luggage, and inside were clothes from the Republican era! So beautiful! They were cheongsams! She had never worn a cheongsam before.
She rushed into the bathroom, pulled up her hair, and gave herself a makeover.
She couldn't wait to put on the cheongsam and struck a series of poses in front of the mirror—she looked absolutely stunning!
Knock, knock, knock. There was a knock at the door. He Tiantian went to open the door and saw Shen Yizhou.
"Get ready to leave, you..." Shen Yizhou looked at the woman in the cheongsam in front of him. To be honest, she was quite beautiful. She was a perfectly normal person, but she had a stupid brain.
"Oh, okay, I'm here. Can I wear this?" He Tiantian said, turning around in front of Shen Yizhou.
"Change it, it's not suitable for that situation." Although Shen Yizhou admired the outfit, it really wasn't appropriate for investigating a case.
"Okay." He Tiantian was a little disappointed, but considering she was going to investigate a case, it really wasn't appropriate for her to be dressed like this.
"Why don't you wait for me at the door? I'll be right there!" He Tiantian said, then slammed the door shut.
This time, it was Shen Yizhou's turn to be bewildered alone at the door.
He Tiantian changed into an outfit similar to a school uniform: a pearlescent top and a black skirt. She looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction. Not bad!
He Tiantian put on her shoes, opened the door, and went out.
"Let's go!" He Tiantian walked ahead, but then realized she didn't know the way, so she ran back to Shen Yizhou's side.
Looking at He Tiantian's pointless actions, Shen Yizhou couldn't help but suspect that she was an idiot.
The two arrived at a place that resembled a dance hall, where many people were already sitting.
He Tiantian looked at these people excitedly; they were her kind!
Shen Yizhou pulled her to sit in the front row. He Tiantian looked around curiously. Everyone was sitting in their seats, as if they were waiting for someone.
A moment later, a woman emerged from behind the curtain.
"Welcome to Yongping Hotel, a well-known local restaurant. This time, there is only one mission: find out who the murderer is. The timeline is now open. After finding the correct answer, only the top five teams will be able to emerge from the timeline. Once the rankings are announced, those below the top five will be trapped in the timeline forever until they die. Have fun, players!" The woman smiled and retreated behind the scenes.
There was a commotion around, and some people started cursing.
【Isn't this just sending people to their deaths?】
"Yeah, what the hell is this game? Let me out, I want to go home."
Hurry, I need to log out of the game.
Hey, does anyone know that woman from earlier? Find her.
He Tiantian was somewhat frightened by the scene; it was the first time she had ever seen such a riotous crowd.
Shen Yizhou remained remarkably calm, as if he had anticipated this turn of events.
The red curtain on the stage was slowly pulled open, revealing a pitch-black hole behind it. Shen Yizhou moved, and he took He Tiantian's hand and walked onto the stage.
He Tiantian didn't dare to ask and passively followed Shen Yizhou into the black hole.
The crowd, who had just been arguing, saw He Tiantian and Shen Yizhou enter the black hole and rushed to follow suit.
He Tiantian held Shen Yizhou's hand tightly. She was terrified of the dark and needed a nightlight to sleep at home.
Shen Yizhou seemed to sense her fear, and he also grasped He Tiantian's hand in return.
The two walked to the end, where there was an identical stage, only this one looked older and seemed to be from a more ancient era.
