"After I learned my true identity, I did want to kill Meng Sanchun, but unfortunately, I didn't have the chance. However, since you are my sister, you can do it anyway."
Conan remained silent. They lacked crucial evidence; finding the Mother-and-Child Needles or Hong Jiangshui's jacket would confirm Ling Yi as the culprit.
"Speaking of which, just how unpopular is this second-in-command? Everyone wants to kill him!" Lü Shouyi laughed.
[All players are requested to enter the story scene to search for evidence. The search period is 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, you will Teleport back.]
[Each time you search for evidence, you can only bring back one story item. Countdown begins!]
The time allotted for gathering evidence is getting shorter and shorter.
This time, Conan didn't rush into the Jianghu Inn. Instead, he said to Ling Yi, "I will definitely find the evidence."
"Still trying to stir things up, huh?" Ling Yi shrugged nonchalantly.
Although the game ultimately requires a vote to determine the true murderer, if no evidence is found, the murderer will still be declared the winner and will receive game points.
However, players who vote for the real culprit will receive points, while those who vote incorrectly will not.
Next comes the game's garbage time.
Evidence? Unless these people are willing to jump into the latrine.
That's right, Ling Yi is the murderer. He did use the Mother-and-Child Needle Technique, and the Mother-and-Child Needles and Ling Yi's bloodstained shirt were found in the latrine.
If someone searches the outhouse for evidence during the first round of investigation, Ling Yi will be finished.
That's why Ling Yi has been setting the pace.
During the second round of evidence collection, Ling Yi went to the outhouse and threw all the evidence related to him into the latrine. The process was a bit too disgusting.
"I remember, during the last round of evidence collection, Ling Yi seemed to have gone to the outhouse. Could it be that..." Lü Shouyi suddenly said at this moment.
Upon hearing this, Conan rushed into the inn.
"I just needed to use the restroom, you're overthinking it." Ling Yi shrugged.
"You are the murderer, there's no escaping it!" Lü Shouyi had already figured out some key points.
He also understood that Ling Yi had been setting the pace from beginning to end.
We're all smart people; once you figure out the key points, many things won't stand up to scrutiny.
"Then vote for me!"
Lü Shouyi speechless. "Arrogant, too arrogant! Are you taking advantage of us because we're newbies?"
Ling Yi chuckled, "Isn't that just taking advantage of the fact that you're newbies?"
"This game is much more fun than Werewolf or anything like that. Don't even think about taking the lead in the next round."
"Miss Huang, aren't you going to search for evidence?" Ling Yi asked Huang Rong.
"What's the point?" Huang Rong rolled her eyes.
"I might not be the murderer!" Ling Yi shook his head.
"They're still stirring things up."
The game isn't over yet, so of course I'll deny it to the death; otherwise, it'd be considered confessing, right?
A moment later, Conan returned, pinching his nose and looking dejected.
He gave Ling Yi a thumbs up and said, "You're amazing. You'd do something like this to destroy evidence?"
Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm a good person!"
With the four of them shirking their responsibilities, the third and fourth searches for evidence became pointless.
The game time ended quickly.
To be honest, the script this time was just so-so, and it even had some minor flaws.
While it's not a serious issue, for veteran players of murder mystery games, this script is indeed too basic.
[All players are requested to vote for the murderer. Each player can only vote once.]
[If the vote for the murderer is successful, you will receive points; if the vote fails, you will receive no points.]
[If the player finds evidence of the murderer's crime, the murderer loses the game; if no evidence is found, the murderer wins.]
The voting ended quickly, with Ling Yi receiving 100 points, while Conan and his two companions only received 10 points.
The points rewards differ by a factor of ten.
"The whole game lasted about forty-five minutes, and these points are a bit low. I wonder how many points a game of Werewolf is worth." Conan looked at his mere 10 points on his panel and said somewhat dejectedly.
10 points isn't even enough for a single entry into a murder mystery game.
"It'll probably be even less. I'll ask the other players later."
"Can you hold on? If you can, then continue," Lü Shouyi asked.
"Of course we'll continue! Otherwise, we'll have to pay 100 points to enter this game room again next time, and we need to accumulate enough points for one ticket!" Huang Rong said.
"I'm fine!"
"But before that, let's grab a late-night snack, it's on me!" Ling Yi said with a smile.
It's just before 1 a. m. in the real world. Let's grab a late-night snack, clear our heads, and continue the game.
The food in the Points Store is very cheap; you can eat a Manchu Han Imperial Feast with just 10 points.
Ling Yi was not stingy and spent 10 points to redeem an authentic Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
Everyone ate to their heart's content.
The Game Space also did not provide time limits or warnings.
Although they didn't know why, Ling Yi and the others didn't really care.
As beta testers, they already knew that a newbie was controlling everything behind the scenes in this Game Space.
I bet they're frantically tweaking the data and Correction bugs right now!
" Game Space, I want to draw a new script!" After eating and drinking his fill, Ling Yi shouted into the air.
[Please wait ten minutes, the murder mystery game scene is being upgraded and updated!]
This was happening again; Ling Yi was already used to it.
Conan and his two companions didn't react either.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and the game notification finally sounded again.
[The player who won the previous murder mystery game, please draw the script.]
Ling Yi's eyes lit up as he looked at the nine-square grid projection screen that appeared in front of him.
Wow, that's impressive! This time there are special effects.
Ling Yi randomly selected one of the squares.
The next moment, the nine-square grid flipped, and a script with a dark blue cesium cover appeared in front of everyone.
The nine-square grid projection also disappeared.
[Congratulations to the player who won the murder mystery script: Kill the Person in the Mirror (DM3)!]
[Number of players required: 5, please wait...]
As soon as the game notification sound ended, a figure appeared out of thin air in the room.
Upon seeing this person, Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh.
It's the same old friend, Qin Feng!
Qin Feng couldn't help but flash a handsome smile when he saw Ling Yi and the others.
"I knew it, you guys were the ones in the murder mystery game room," Qin Feng laughed.
"You seem to have stopped stuttering!" Lü Shouyi said.
"Didn't I get an Intelligence Pill from opening a treasure chest last time? The Intelligence Pill not only increases intelligence, but it also cured my stutter," Qin Feng explained.
Of the four people present, Qin Feng had never met Huang Rong before. However, given Huang Rong's classic image, Qin Feng naturally recognized her identity and the world she came from at a glance.
There's really no need to introduce it.
"This is Qin Feng. Like Conan, he's a detective, and they're both very smart," Lü Shouyi introduced to Huang Rong beside him.
Huang Rong simply nodded, without saying anything more.
" Qin Feng, you're not a beta tester, are you? Did you manage to get 100 points?" Conan asked.
"Yeah, I played a game of 'Who Is the Undercover' earlier, and I got lucky!"
"Blank card?"
"Yes, a blank card!"
The group suddenly realized that they had all played the game of Who Is the Undercover. Only by receiving a blank card and not choosing a faction could Qin Feng score more than 100 points in one go.
"Awesome!" Lü Shouyi gave a thumbs up.
[Player count met, Murder Mystery Script: Kill the Person in the Mirror (DM3) officially begins!]
[Randomizing identity!]
[Player 230922, your identity is Jiang Yunhai, a fan of writer Li Feng. We are currently transmitting script information for Jiang Yunhai to you...]
[Generating scene in progress...]
[ Teleport countdown: 10, 9... 3, 2, 1!]
brush!
The scene before everyone's eyes changed.
When Ling Yi came to his senses, he found himself in a room filled with mirrors.
Not only were the walls covered with mirrors, but the floor, the ceiling, and even the windows were also covered with mirrors.
The mirrors are all roughly the same size, about half a meter high and twenty centimeters wide.
There is a gap of about ten centimeters between the mirrors.
In the very center of the room, there is a desk and a chair.
On the desk was a half-empty cup of coffee, next to a pen, with a stack of papers underneath.
Ling Yi glanced at it and saw that it read, " Kill the Person in the Mirror - The Finale!"
This script is different from the last one.
This time, a teaser storyline was provided.
" Kill the Person in the Mirror " is a horror-mystery novel by the renowned author Li Feng.
It has been serialized for over a year and enjoys immense popularity online, with over ten million fans.
Although this novel is extremely excellent, it wasn't as popular as it is now, just six months ago.
The reason it became so popular was because two urban Legend about Person in the Mirror occurred within the next six months.
And coincidentally, both of these urban Legend bear striking similarities to parts of the novel's plot.
This is what made the novel so popular that it didn't deserve such widespread fame.
Three days ago, Li Feng posted a preview of the novel's completion on his Xinbo.
And three fans were randomly selected to visit his home.
Jiang Yunhai was one of the Luck fans.
Besides Jiang Yunhai, there are also Zheng Yang and Li Yunqi.
Because a preliminary storyline was given, everyone's identities were revealed.
The room where Ling Yi was was the same room where Li Feng usually wrote, which shows that Li Feng put a lot of effort into writing this novel.
After all, being in a room full of mirrors and seeing your own reflection everywhere is really unpleasant.
Ling Yi was already finding Kung Fu Hustle to keep up after just a short while.
Grabbing the stack of manuscripts from the table, Ling Yi walked straight out of the room.
Apart from the mirrored room, there is an extremely luxuriously decorated living room.
At this moment, only Lü Shouyi and Huang Rong were in the living room.
Qin Feng and Conan were nowhere to be found.
At this moment, both Lü Shouyi and Huang Rong had changed their clothes, and not only their clothes, but also their hairstyles.
Lü Shouyi dressed in a black suit, and his hair, which had been short, had grown long, covering half of his face, making him look somewhat gloomy.
As for Huang Rong, she caught Ling Yi's eye.
He wore a white T-shirt, white slim-fit jeans, and brown knee-high boots.
She looks increasingly charming and adorable.
His hairstyle was the same, but he now wore glasses.
She went directly from Jianghu young Heroine to a high school School Belle.
Lü Shouyi's identity is Li Feng's apprentice and assistant, while Huang Rong Huang Rong's identity is Li Feng's daughter, Li Xiaoxiao!
Huang Rong seemed quite uncomfortable with her current outfit, frequently tugging at her jeans or pushing up her glasses.
At that moment, Conan and Qin Feng walked out of the bathroom together.
Qin Feng said with a grave expression, "Mr. Li Feng is dead. He died in the bathroom..."
