There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

In the amusement park paths, two figures swiftly left the security room and headed deeper into the park.

The female tourist followed closely behind the young man, her high heels clicking hastily and her mind somewhat hazy, not bothering to conceal the sound of her footsteps.

She was curious about where the young man wanted to go.

After they left the security room, they specifically avoided surveillance cameras as they moved inside the park, but occasionally Xu Shuo would deliberately appear under a camera, although most of the time they walked along paths hidden from surveillance.

The last time they appeared under surveillance was when they nonchalantly crossed Central Square and walked into a small grove behind some decorative structure.

For aesthetics, the park's greenery was mostly evergreen trees and low cypress, lush and green all year round.

The female tourist glanced at the location of Central Square as she followed behind.

The grove covered a wide area, serving as a green barrier between the east and west districts of the park, and after walking through, they saw the "Rapids Advance" attraction in the west.

"Rapids Advance" sounded like an exciting amusement device, but in reality, it was just a shooting game set in a dimly-lit indoor environment with dazzling lighting effects and swiftly flowing water, simulating a yacht water gun space battle.

The gameplay was simply to squirt at targets in the middle with a water gun...

Super boring, only fun for little kids!

The female tourist passed behind the structure, subconsciously checking for a door, and indeed, as expected, she noticed a back door almost blending into the wall.

Like most amusement park attractions, they often had two entrances and exits.

Just like the back door of the Haunted House that also faced the small grove.

"But... weren't you afraid he would just detonate the bomb when you provoked him like that?" Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

Perhaps the silent journey was too oppressive or the current situation too grave, but upon seeing the ominous Haunted House, the female tourist couldn't help but speak up.

All the way, she remembered what had just happened, and upon further thought, a cold sweat broke out on her back.

Fortunately, the mysterious man was somewhat paranoid, capturing six people and confining them in the amusement park to torment them, otherwise if he had opted to detonate the bomb in a moment of irrationality...

This game might have ended with the whole group wiped out.

After all, this was a serious game, and the players' supernatural abilities had been sealed. They could only use their own mundane skills.

Who could rush out of the amusement park in an instant if there was an explosion?@@novelbin@@

The female tourist thought about it and felt that even if she risked running towards the door under high-voltage danger, she would likely end up severely injured by the blast and then finished off by the mysterious person outside.

Although nothing had actually happened, looking back, it had been too perilous!

Xu Shuo heard her and glanced at her with a slight smile, "Actually, after I finished my provocative words, I thought about that too, felt very anxious, and was even ready to act when the broadcast said 'what a pity.' But then, he didn't make that choice."

The female tourist: "..." I don't trust you at all.

When the broadcast began, you were still leisurely leaning at the door listening; neither your facial expression nor body language showed any sign of wanting to run!

Could it be that you had already guessed the mysterious man wouldn't detonate the bomb directly?

He was being incredibly bold...

The female tourist looked at the dimming sky and couldn't help but continue to ask, "But now we only have half an hour left, are you really sure you've found a way out of the amusement park?"

The other group of three had even checked under the manhole covers, and they couldn't find a way out after searching for over an hour.

And the young man had spent most of the time with her; the only time they were apart was for a little over half an hour after leaving the Haunted House—could it be that he had found a way out just in that short time?

If that was the case, why not slip away quietly? Why provoke...

Her thoughts analyzed this far and then halted. Rationality told her it was best not to continue, or else the tall figure ahead might notice and silence her.

Because she didn't think she could keep calm upon discovering the truth.

Even if some people had great acting skills, some instinctual and subconscious movements couldn't be controlled, revealing their true thoughts unknowingly.

Besides, her acting wasn't good at all!

So the female tourist chose to stop her wild speculations.

Focusing on escaping the amusement park…

Focusing on staying alive…

As the female tourist self-hypnotized, her fingers clenched unconsciously in front of her stomach, gripping her hands tightly.

Xu Shuo suddenly stopped moving ahead, turned to look at her, his expression still gentle, with an honest and naive air that seemed out of place on his large frame.

The female tourist stopped in fright.

They maintained a distance of two meters.

Xu Shuo tilted his head and asked, "Where do you think we would need a flashlight?"

"Huh?"

The female tourist paused, confused. Hadn't she just been asking about how to leave the amusement park? So why had the topic suddenly shifted?

Oh, it's a change of subject. No problem, then.

She smoothed her hair back from her forehead, feigning nonchalance as she said, "Definitely a very dark place."

Xu Shuo continued, "Where do you think is the darkest place?"

"A place without electric lights?" the female tourist answered immediately.

"Indeed," the young man said with a slight smile.

However, the female tourist still felt clueless.

In her mind, the darkest places were those the sunlight couldn't reach, but there were street lights at night, so by that logic, the darkest place would be where there were no electric lights!

What kind of place wouldn't have electric lights?

Wait, are there even any places without lights now?

An underdeveloped mountain village?

The female tourist's thoughts unwittingly strayed. She watched the young man resume walking and subconsciously followed, yet her mind was still pondering the question.

So why exactly had he asked that question?!

Was it really just a diversion?

Did he, in fact, not want to leave with her?

In reality, because the female tourist felt that following this guy might give her a chance to get ahead, she decided to follow him despite the pressure when she saw him leave the security room.

After testing the waters, the man neither expelled her nor assaulted her in a secluded corner, so she took it as an agreement of cooperation between them.

Hmm… A one-sided partnership?

Lost in her thoughts, they had already arrived at the back door of the Haunted House.

The back door faced a small grove. All they needed to do was cross the bushes to get below the building.

Xu Shuo pushed through the bushes, snapping a half-meter-high branch with his foot, and strode over, brutally making a path.

Past the bushes, Xu Shuo bent down to pick up something from the grass and muddy ground.

The female tourist behind him hesitated.

She carefully lifted her long skirt and followed, stepping over, but the high heels made it difficult to find footing, and her woolen skirt kept catching on the protruding thorns, making her look somewhat disheveled.

By the time she finally made it over, she saw the young man had already opened the back door of the Haunted House, with a key still in the lock.

Female tourist: "..."

No, she really couldn't hold back her wild thoughts!

Are you the culprit or not?!
