Xia Linyin was wearing a black and white school uniform. Her deskmate was a chubby girl with naturally curly hair, fair skin, and a few freckles. There was still a bit of cookie crumb left at the corner of her mouth.
"Da, da, da, da—"
The crisp sound of high heels clicking on the floor gradually became clearer. When the sound officially came from the corridor into the classroom, the English teacher, dressed in a business suit and holding textbooks, pushed up her black-rimmed glasses and walked to the podium.
Unlike the atmosphere of diligent study and writing in her senior year of high school, the learning atmosphere in her current class seemed rather lax. Some students were passing notes, some were sleeping, and some were playing on their phones. Only a few students were listening attentively, but they all looked confused.
The teacher seemed to be used to this situation and simply delivered the learning content in a perfunctory, rote manner.
Xia Linyin held her English textbook upright and opened her palm.
"What's more terrifying than a serial killer is the Rose Killer, and once a prey is targeted by the Rose Killer, no matter where in the world they hide, they cannot escape."
"Dear player, we are giving you a chance to act as a hunter. Do you dare to accept this challenge? Player mission: Find the Rose Killer and kill the Rose Killer."
"It seems you need some partners. The players in this game are: Gao Haichuan, Yin Yichen, Shangguan Xin, and Xia Linyin."
Xia Linyin clenched her fingers. Many serial killers are highly intelligent criminals who are good at disguise and meticulous. When they are arrested, the people around them cannot associate them with serial killers.
Their target, Rose Killer, is someone even more terrifying than a serial killer. No, she might not even be human; the game information doesn't indicate that Rose Killer is a person. She could be some other species or something. After all, this game often comes up with some ridiculous settings.
It seems their mission this time is really difficult.
As expected of a game from Region A, the difficulty... just looking at the game information makes it seem incredibly challenging.
Perhaps because Xia Linyin had been too attentive in the first half of the class, the English teacher, seeing her hiding behind her textbook and seemingly doing something, called on her and said, "Xia Linyin, please translate this sentence on the blackboard."
Xia Linyin was startled and looked up, meeting the serious gaze of her English teacher.
After standing up and glancing at the English on the blackboard, Xia Linyin translated: "In order to understand the truth of nature, he always chose to conduct investigations in mountainous areas with treacherous roads and sparsely populated forests."
The English teacher relaxed her furrowed brows and nodded in satisfaction. "Hmm, not bad, Xia Linyin. I have high hopes for you. Stop daydreaming."
[Xiaoyin, I'm so envious! Your English is getting better and better; you can even translate this, I can't understand it at all.]
A piece of draft paper was quietly pushed onto Xia Linyin's desk.
Xia Linyin glanced at her deskmate, then looked at the contents of the paper, smiled, and wrote: "I can teach you."
【╮(╯▽╰)╭ I'd better not. Seeing English gives me a headache. But it seems like there's nothing I don't get a headache from. Math gives me a headache, physics gives me a headache too. I'm so tired and don't want to do anything... I really want to eat something...】
Are you bored right now?
[Waaaaah~~ Xiaoyin, did I bother you? I can already see the English teacher's murderous glare.]
No, I just wanted to play a really boring game with you.
【(^o^) What game?】
[A question-and-answer game, Question 1: What's your name?]
"...This is so boring! Hello, my name is An Meimei, and I love eating!"
...
When the bell rang, after playing a question-and-answer game with An Meimei, Xia Linyin finally understood why she hadn't felt such a strong learning atmosphere. It was because their class was one of the worst-performing classes in the entire grade, a regular class below the experimental class and the key class.
After having lunch with An Meimei at the cafeteria, Xia Linyin followed An Meimei to the girls' dormitory.
In the four-person dorm room with bunk beds and desks underneath, she shared a dorm room with An Meimei. After finding her bed according to her bed card, Xia Linyin left the room.
"Xiaoyin, where are you going? Aren't you going to take a nap?" An Meimei called out.
"No more naps." Xia Linyin waved her hand.
After arriving at the computer room and turning on the computer, Xia Linyin opened her browser and searched for information about Rose Killer.
There are many reports about Rose Killer online. After reading these reports, Xia Linyin frowned more and more.
The Rose Killer is a serial killer who targets serial murderers.
One of his trademarks was to sprinkle rose petals on corpses.
The most recent and sensational case involved him sending a head, which was planted in a flowerpot along with roses, to international police. An investigation revealed that the victim of this head was the perpetrator of the human skin drum serial murders.
The human skin drum murder case once caused panic in the country of M. The murderer committed several crimes in just one year. The methods of the crimes were extremely cruel. Each victim was skinned and left to rot next to a garbage can. Three sanitation workers were driven insane by the horror.
Afterwards, the murderer even sent a drum made from the victim's skin to the police station, openly provoking the police.
Despite the killer's audacious actions, the police have been unable to apprehend him, and he remains at large.
Amid public skepticism, the police's credibility continued to decline, and just then, a gift box containing the murderer's head was delivered to the police.
The Rose Killer has once again proven Interpol wrong.
