443. Locked Room Escape, No Survivors
The scene shifts to the banquet hall, where the group skillfully examines the body and analyzes the scene, much like real detectives.
Only the two groups of people in the banquet hall, each with their own ulterior motives, were present.
"The book I'm looking for has probably been taken by the gangsters, and it might be in the Godfather's hands. I need to find the Godfather."
The university professor, dressed as a Daoist priest, said that he saw the banquet hall had been sealed off and no one could leave.
"The assassin has disappeared; we don't know where he went or if he found the Godfather."
The underground doctor who was with him looked around.
Just then, two notifications appeared on his AR glasses.
[Player Cao Chongzhi has died and exited the game.]
[Player Wu Nuo has died and exited the game.]
These two men are a Psycho Bro and a hitman.
They're dead?
Although the underground doctor knew that this death probably referred to triggering some death flag in the game and thus leaving the game, now that there was only one day left in the game, it was time for him to leave.
But how did they die?
The Psycho Bro wasn't familiar with the underground doctor, but the assassin was supposed to kill the Godfather, so why did he die first?
Is that godfather a very good fighter?
If the murderer is the Godfather, then wouldn't I be unable to complete my mission at all?
The audience was a little taken aback by what they saw.
What? You can leave the stage?
So, these people are actually quite impressive. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have made it through the first night.
[I feel like as long as I don't do anything reckless, I shouldn't die. And if the other members of the assassin team don't cause trouble, they should survive to the end, right?]
This game has transitioned from a deduction game to a survival game.
The more you know, the more unhappy you become. Don't investigate the truth, or you'll become unhappy.
Therefore, the murderer was probably not the players, because all the players were in the banquet hall at the time, and no one left to kill the Psycho Bro.
[That's it, I feel like with my intelligence, I'll only ever be a fired worker.]
If the murderer knew someone was investigating him, wouldn't he eliminate all these people one by one tonight?
While the audience was making complaints, the remaining members of the Detective Team conducted an investigation, and by the time they finished, it was already late at night.
Apart from the gangster players, the other players gathered at the Detective Agency to exchange information.
Because it's obvious that if they stick to their original goals now, they might not survive until tomorrow.
They were still discussing the current intelligence until after 2 a. m., but due to a lack of information about the House of Happiness Apartments, the investigation was progressing very slowly, and they hadn't even discovered the existence of Liz.
As for why there was no information on this, it was because Zhou Yuan, the capitalist worker who was in charge of the House of Happiness storyline, ran away at the beginning and never went back.
According to the normal script, if he went back on the first night, he would be able to obtain certain clues to expose Liz's affairs, and incidentally get information about the conflict between the Sharp Blade Gang and the Catania Family.
Of course, if these players choose to conduct a thorough search, investigating and questioning in that building they've never been to before, they might still be able to obtain the relevant information.
No one went out at night, and the players gradually fell asleep.
Around seven o'clock in the morning, a loud noise suddenly came from downstairs.
"Holy crap, is this a sneak attack?"
The delivery guy, who had been woken up, called out. He saw Zhou Yuan open the door, and in the blink of an eye, the view jumped, and a message appeared in the AR glasses of these players.
[Player Zhou Yuan has died and exited the game.]
It was sold out instantly.
We didn't even see a trace of Zhou Yuan.
Beyond the open door, shadows seemed to float.
The players had no idea what was outside; all they knew was that getting close could mean instant death!
"We're doomed, we're really going to be wiped out."
"The underground doctor called out."
"Don't panic, we can escape through the window and then go find the gangsters; they should have weapons."
At this moment, French Police Flower stepped forward. She had received professional training and maintained her composure in this situation.
"Yes, you're right!"
The Bounty Hunter Miss replied.
The group hurriedly ran towards the window, but only one person could pass through at a time.
"I'll go first."
The underground doctor hurriedly tried to step forward, but was immediately stopped by the French Police Flower.
"Let the lady go first; I'll be the last to leave."
She said, gesturing for the bounty hunter to go first.
"Thank you."
The bounty hunter was somewhat surprised. She immediately jumped out of the window and landed on the roof next to her.
Next up was the nurse who played the role of a prostitute.
Next came the white-haired Daoist priest.
In the living room, some terrifying sounds seemed to be coming from inside. The underground doctor had just opened the window when he saw a message.
[Player Archide has died and exited the game.]
"Aren't these gangsters? Has it started over there too?"
He landed on the ground, looked back, and saw the High School Detective jump down, followed by a loud bang.
[Player Sophie has died and exited the game.]
The French Police Flower also left the scene.
Without hesitation, the remaining men ran toward the gangster's villa; gathering together now was the best course of action.
Watching their escape, the viewers who had endured until now became excited.
Holy crap, this is amazing! So exciting! They're about to unleash a massacre!
[I guess the wipeout event was triggered because some things weren't investigated.]
This has truly become an escape room game.
Does this mean there are two murderers?
[This is unbelievable! The Keeper thinks these players are too bad, so he's just starting to tear up their cards, huh?]
Something's not right. I think some event must have been triggered, making the killer feel they had to do it.
Indeed, if the killer really wanted to start killing, they could have done so on the first night. Why wait until now? Is it really a newbie protection period, to preserve these players' gaming experience?
[This bunch of useless trash, if Lu Ban were here, he'd kill them all.]
[#Checking Sophie's status, she sacrificed herself for this bunch of useless people, I wonder what she's thinking.]
What is Kusanagi Gaku doing? Is this all there is to high school detective stories???
Thinking about it, before tonight these people were scattered, and almost no one knew the location of the others. But now, apart from the gangsters, everyone else has gathered at the Detective Agency. Could it be because of this that the killer has learned everyone's whereabouts?
On the street in the early morning, several people were running wildly. In the AR glasses, the player who was a gangster thug had also died.
They finally met Biso, who played Stone.
"You were also attacked?"
Biso asked, looking disheveled and as if he had fled in panic.
"Stop talking, let's find a safe place to hide. Surviving until the end of the game is the key to victory."
The high school detective panicked.
"Why don't you come to our area?"
The Daoist priest suggested that the group immediately head to the courtyard of the slum.
Just as I stepped into the courtyard, the sun finally rose.
The group looked at the golden sunlight, never before had they looked forward to the sunrise so much.
Then, a notification popped up in their AR glasses.
You have died and exited the stage.
[game over]
