There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

[Congratulations on completing Task One: Identify the person who buried the bomb.]

[Congratulations to the players for completing more than 50% of the main mission. The theater will end in one hour. Please prepare yourselves.]

Two system announcements echoed in Xu Shuo's mind, one of which resounded thunderously in the minds of all players!

Xu Shuo kicked the man aside, then walked over and sat down at the rectangular table.

There were five computers on the table. One displayed the surveillance footage of the low-rise building, another was showing the deceased's video photos, and the remaining three were showing the amusement park's surveillance images.

The mysterious person truly relied on just ordinary surveillance.

To be honest, before he came here, Xu Shuo had thought this person would be very formidable, and so, he had cautiously probed and made many preparations to counter.

As it turned out, this mysterious person was just an average, slightly unhinged, voyeuristic pervert.

Moreover, due to spending prolonged periods in dark environments and staying up nights, his physical condition had become really poor, not even withstanding the strength of a little girl's kick.

From the performance of various aspects just now, this was an ordinary person.

But the reason Xu Shuo had misjudged was that there was one very strange issue.

How did such a weak mysterious person manage to kidnap six people, clear the streets, blockade the amusement park, and plant a bomb?

The existence of Script World is dependent on the real world, so this event must have also occurred in the real world.

It wasn't a story that just appeared out of thin air.

Xu Shuo sat on the computer chair, curiously opened the computer with the victims' footage to take a look, and then noticed on the desktop a chat room icon just like the one in the security room.

After clicking into it, he saw two sets of chat logs.

One was the record for the security room, where the mysterious person was in a furious tirade, cursing out the other side; but because of the blocking program Xu Shuo had set up, these messages didn't get sent to the security room's computer.

The other set of chat logs seemed to be with another mysterious person.

The chat room system was very simple, with no registration or login function, and account nicknames were set by users themselves.

The chatting partner without a nickname, represented by an icon of a stick figure wearing a black top hat, sent only two messages:

[I have already handed over the explosion control to you.]

[Remember to take pictures.]

The conversation was from half an hour ago.

Xu Shuo scrolled up the chat history, but there wasn't any more exchange of messages above, and the man hadn't replied to the other side's messages either.

It appeared that this person was also part of the crime?

After thinking it through, Xu Shuo tore a piece of cloth from the body beside him and covered the computer's camera, then tentatively typed in the chat box:

[Someone has already run out of the amusement park, what should we do?]

After he sent this reply, the message at the top of the chat panel, [I have already handed over the explosion control to you], automatically disappeared—the chat panel seemed to only retain two messages at a time.

The next moment, the other side replied almost instantly:

[Worthless.]

[Can you send someone to help me deal with it?] Xu Shuo replied with good temper, as the insult wasn't aimed at him, after all.

[How did he get out?]

[I saw him come out of a sewer on the roadside with a telescope. He has already left the vicinity of the amusement park.]

[I remember all the manhole covers in the amusement park were sealed by our people.]

[Then you must have missed one.]

After this reply was sent, there was no further reply from the other side for a long while.

Perhaps they were reflecting on which manhole cover they had missed; perhaps…

[Who are you?]

Suddenly, such a message popped up from the other side.

Xu Shuo raised his eyebrows and a faint smile crossed his lips.

He didn't have much information to analyze how the man usually communicated with the other side, so when he started probing, he guessed that exposure would come quickly.

It's just that the other side's response was slower than he had anticipated.

Xu Shuo's fingers briskly sent out two characters.

[Guess~]

Then he uninstalled the chat software, and just as he was in the midst of uninstalling it, the computer screen suddenly went black and a string of data code popped up.

Xu Shuo stood up, looked at the CPU behind the monitor, and then grabbed the chair.

"Bang!"

Without waiting for the other side to take control of the computer, he directly smashed the CPU, and in an instant, smoke wafted and electrical sparks flew.

Well, it's not his own computer, so no heartache.

Xu Shuo put down the chair and glanced at the other computers nearby.

The four surveillance computers hadn't been taken over; it seemed that the other side wasn't too concerned with what was happening in the amusement park—maybe they were only responsible for providing the man with assistance in kidnapping and explosions.

It sounded like it might be an organization?

But what exactly they did was unknown.

Xu Shuo sat down in the computer chair, moved the wheels, and floated over to the three computers monitoring the amusement park, watching with interest.

At this moment, only three people were left moving in the amusement park.

A male security guard, a male tourist, and a ticket seller.

And now, the two men were having a physical altercation in the security room, while the gentle, frail female ticket seller shrunk at the door of the security room, appearing anxious and helpless.

...

...

The story starts with the male security guard picking up the computer chair.

As he swung it at the monitor, the male tourist and the ticket seller, because of something announced over the PA system, had just hurriedly arrived at the security room.

In that instant, without a moment's thought, purely on reflex, the male tourist rushed forward and saved the computer monitor that was about to be destroyed.

Afterwards, the three of them calmed down and considered many things in a short span of time.

Ticket Seller: Why did he smash the computer? It couldn't have been out of anger; there are a lot of important clues on the computer, including clues to finding the murderer and ways to contact the mysterious person! Could he be the murderer?!

Male Tourist: Why did he smash the computer? Other than needing to destroy the clues within, there's no other reason! Could he be the murderer?

Male Security Guard: Damn! Still a step too slow, I can't let them know the 5:30 clue, otherwise the already distrustful situation among them will become even more severe! Besides the computer monitor, the only thing left is...

All these thoughts flashed by in the blink of an eye, the male security guard's chair smashed down on an empty desk, but the next second, he violently swung the chair smashing into the nearby CPU!

"Bang!"

The fragile CPU suffered a fierce blow from an external force, and the connected computer monitor immediately turned to a blue screen!

However, as he smashed the CPU, the male tourist, because of his own thoughts, had subconsciously glanced at the computer screen in his hands and caught a glimpse of the blurry words "East gate will open".

Then the image turned blue in his line of sight.

The male tourist suddenly looked up at the male security guard, his gaze calm, his eyes full of complex emotions.

Realizing something from his expression, the male security guard also immediately felt the subtlety and gravity in the atmosphere between them.

"Um... can you guys calm down a bit?"

At this time, the ticket seller spoke up meekly.

The male tourist ignored her voice, squinting at the person across from him, "Why did you smash the computer, and, did you find any clues?"

The male security guard spoke guiltily, "I'm sorry, because I already guessed who the murderer is, I came to find the mysterious person to seek a way out, but I was enraged by what he said. He said he never planned to let us go, I just lost control of my emotions for a moment."

The male tourist scoffed, "But the screen I saw just now seemed to show something different."

"I'm not deceiving you, I have already found the murderer!" the male security guard stressed, bringing up the issue of the murderer again.@@novelbin@@

"But I only want to know how to leave the amusement park," said the male tourist, expressionless as he stared at him.

Why did he smash the computer?

Just now, the computer display was of the chat room system, with the words [East gate will open] on it; he didn't think he read it wrong.

Thus, there was only one reason—the security guard didn't want them to know this piece of news!

Why?

Either the number of people allowed to leave was limited, or the security guard didn't intend for everyone to survive. Regardless of the reason, the security guard could no longer be trusted!

He had even become an enemy!
