There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Chapter 382 Boom



The male security guard and the male tourist had been wary of each other from the start, and this simmering tension reached its peak when the system notification sounded!

The script would end in an hour!

But, they didn't have an hour!

Because there were only ten minutes left until half-past five, the deadline set by the mysterious person, and at that moment, the entire amusement park would be engulfed in explosions, their characters' mere flesh and blood would never withstand such destructive damage!

No one took the matter of the explosion as a joke!

Nor was anyone willing to gamble with their own lives!

So, under the clueless gaze of the ticket seller, the male tourist suddenly threw away the computer monitor, with sharp brass knuckles, unknown when, tucked between his fingers, and charged directly at the opposing security guard!

The security guard was no slower, heaving the cumbersome computer chair forward, smashing it down on the tourist as he charged over!

The two clashed in the cramped security room, their brutal and vicious aura causing the ticket seller at the door to shiver.

She called out weakly, but the two men with bloodshot eyes paid her no heed.

The male tourist was convinced the security guard would harm him, plus the looming death threat of less than ten minutes, as well as the message "The east gate will be opened." The security's choice to destroy this information meant that the two of them had to fight to the death!

The security guard's thoughts were nearly identical to those of his opponent. Since the other man had seen the recent records from the chat room, he would certainly fight for the chance to leave the amusement park.

If that was the case, then he couldn't let him live!

The few furnishings in the security room shattered in an instant. When the computer chair came crashing down, the male tourist swiftly raised his shoulder and elbow to shield himself, then spun around quickly and continued his attack on the security guard, moving as fast as lightning, the cold light from his brass knuckles almost piercing the throat so close at hand!

But the security guard's reaction was also swift, his right hand pressed down, grabbing the tourist's wrist, his immense pull forcing the tourist's body off balance.

In the blink of an eye, the ticket seller saw the tourist pinned to the ground, and then the struggle between the two continued.

She stood at the door, blinking at the chaotic scene before her.

Then she quietly turned away and left the security room.

Where had the other three gone?

The ticket seller walked briskly across the spacious Central Square, heading straight for the west area, without seeing any of the three people again along the way.

The vast amusement park was so quiet it seemed she was the only one left.

At that moment, the ticket seller felt a forlorn sense of desolation.

She had originally come to share info and investigate clues with everyone, but before she knew it, three teammates had mysteriously disappeared, and two others were fighting a life-and-death battle. This team was really tough to manage!

The ticket seller opened her own task list to check.

[Task one: Find out who murdered the victim.]

[Task two: Successfully escape the amusement park.]

Both tasks were still incomplete, and there were less than ten minutes till the end of the game, which left her in a very passive position.

The ticket seller frowned in thought; she had initially suspected the murderer was the victim's boyfriend—the mascot promoter.

Because as revealed in her character script:

["I'm so scared what my boyfriend would do if he found out. He can be so terrifying. If he didn't always threaten me and even think of laying his hands on me, why would I ever think of leaving him?" While listening to the woman's incessant complaints, she thought disdainfully: Is that your excuse for having a backup boyfriend?]

[The two women would chat when bored, and she knew this woman was cheating with the Park Director while stringing along her current boyfriend.]

["Ah, if only her boyfriend fancied me. He may have a bad temper, but at least he's handsome." She had thought this more than once.]

The ticket seller's character script was just gossip between two girls and wishful thinking.

Among other things, the victim repeatedly complained to her about how terrifying her boyfriend became when angry, seemingly trying to justify her infidelity.

But such talk would inevitably leave the listener with misgivings, and sometimes they would indeed begin to doubt that person's character.

The ticket seller believed there was no pointless information in the script.

So, this detail could very well be true!

Imagine for a moment—a quick-tempered promoter finds out his girlfriend cheated and, in a fit of rage, kills her. Doesn't such a script sound entirely plausible?

But now…

The ticket seller considered the mysteriously missing amusement park Park Director and the computer-smashing male security guard; she felt as if she were being pulled by three different threads, her mind muddled, completely unsure of who to choose!

At that moment, she arrived at the main gate of the amusement park's west zone, staring intently at the iron gate wrapped in electrified wire, deep in thought.

After a while, the ticket seller looked up at the sky again.

Dusk was settling, time ticking away by the minute.

"Forget it, there's still an hour left anyway."

Finding the killer was no longer the most pressing matter.

The ticket seller muttered to herself, then walked toward the main gate of the amusement park. She broke off a branch from a flower bed and tossed it experimentally toward the gate.

Crack!

The branch landed on the wired fence, instantly sparking electricity, and the strong current even set the branch on fire, turning it to ash.

The ticket seller's face changed color.

The electrical current at the entrance was even stronger than other places!

Is this high-voltage electricity?

This must be a hundred thousand volts!

The ticket seller took a deep breath, turned around, and walked to the nearby roller coaster. She broke into the ticket booth, started the ride, and watched as the roller coaster completed a cycle.

The west zone was the amusement park's "Scream Area," where all the thrilling rides were concentrated, but the closest attraction to the main gate was the roller coaster.@@novelbin@@

When the roller coaster reached a turn at a high point, that highest spot was less than ten meters from the amusement park's perimeter wall.

With the help of a high jump, she had a chance to leap directly outside the wall!

This was the most reliable method she had found for herself when she was a member of the suspect group looking for clues to leave the amusement park!

After gauging the distance, the ticket seller set the roller coaster's timed braking system and then resolutely got into the car.

Not far away, a surveillance camera was capturing this scene in its entirety.

Xu Shuo watched, resting his chin on his hand, and smiled a little in surprise.

Didn't expect this little girl to have such courage, daring to try jumping from dozens of meters high, she was truly pulling out all the stops to survive.

Meanwhile, in the security room, two battered individuals had finished fighting. Since time was running short and they realized a quick victory was unattainable, the security chief proposed a compromise.

By now, virtually all the game players had given up on the idea of continuing the search for the murderer.

The explosion was supposed to happen at six, giving them plenty of time to theorize about the killer, but the mysterious person's sudden change of plan had thrown everyone off.

Now, they were faced with a life-or-death crisis!

Xu Shuo glanced at the time on the bottom left corner of his computer.

5:23 PM.

And now, the west zone's roller coaster had started moving.

The male security guard stood in front of the eastern gate of the amusement park, seemingly saying something to a male visitor. Then, attracted by the sound of the starting roller coaster, they both turned their heads to look at the tracks in the sky.

Through the branches and green leaves, the roller coaster's tracks were faintly visible.

Sitting right in the middle of the roller coaster car was a person.

At this moment, Xu Shuo curiously turned his attention to the keyboard in front of him, contemplating the Enter key for a while.

When he had come in earlier, the man had one hand on this computer's keyboard. However, after being provoked by him, the man had voluntarily left the computer to deliver weapons to him.

Now, Xu Shuo stretched out a finger.

He pressed down gently.

5:24 PM.

"Boom—!"
