"If you find it boring, you can sit on the couch over there."
"When I’m about to leave, I’ll co find you."
"But don’t leave early, otherwise... the promise won’t be fulfilled."
Yang Xintian pointed out a spot for him. Then, arm in arm with Xiang Zixuan, she left, laughing and talking.
Sun Dasheng found it a bit amusing. Did that girl really think ’that thing’ was enough to get a hold on ?
However, he had no intention of leaving, as he found the place quite interesting. In the past, he had been so focused on work that he never had ti for these kinds of role-playing gas.
He went to the front desk and bought a ticket for three hundred yuan. Many people were here to play, and before long, a brand-new murder mystery group was assembled. He flipped through the script he was given; it was a historical detective story. The content seed well-written, with no obvious plot holes on the surface. The story progressed logically and coherently.
A staff mber first led the group to the props room to change into costus and makeup. Then, they were brought to the ga area. After a bit of ti to familiarize themselves with their roles, the murder mystery officially began.
Sun Dasheng drew the murderer card.
The objective of this ga was to use the available clues to identify the ’murderer’. If the side of justice succeeded, they would win. Conversely, if the murderer managed to escape, they would be victorious.
"Wait a mont!"
Not long after they started, two uninvited guests arrived: a man and a woman. The man was dashing and suave, while the woman was as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal. Both were dressed in historical costus, apparently having just finished another ga.
"Excuse , sir, how can I help you? This ga has already started. If you’re looking for soone or have other business, please wait until this session is over," a staff mber said, politely trying to turn them away.
The young man ignored the employee and addressed the players directly. "Is anyone willing to give up their role? We need one male and one female character, preferably a constable or a master detective."
His words were imdiately t with a wave of scorn. Everyone here obviously loved playing murder mystery gas, so why would anyone give up their spot?
"If you want to start a new ga, go wait at the front desk. Don’t cause trouble here and ruin our fun."
"Exactly! Show so basic manners. Can’t you see our ga has already started?"
The young man seed unfazed by the jeers and spoke again. "I’m willing to offer one thousand yuan to anyone willing to give up their role."
Who would have thought his words would stir up a hornet’s nest? Although the ticket was only three hundred yuan, and a compensation of three tis that amount seed high, it all depended on the location. In a place like Dahu City, what could one thousand yuan really buy you? True enjoynt is priceless. No one was willing to give up their role for a thousand yuan.
Seeing that the crowd remained unmoved, he held up two fingers. "Two thousand."
This ti, soone in the crowd responded. "Stop adding a thousand at a ti. If you’re that desperate for our spots, just na your price. Offer three thousand. For ten tis the original price, I’m sure soone will be interested."
And what do you know? The Jiaqian Jushi had arrived, albeit a bit late. The "soone" he’d ntioned was likely himself.
Sure enough, when the young man nodded and said, "Three thousand a ticket, I need two," the man who had spoken imdiately offered up his script. He even took off his costu and placed it neatly in front of the newcor. After receiving the money, he bead and said, "Thanks, boss."
If only I could run into more of these rich fools, he was probably thinking.
Soon after, a woman also agreed to give up her role for three thousand yuan.
Sun Dasheng had remained silent throughout this farce, his gaze fixed on the woman in the historical costu. She was the sa woman he had t once before, the one who was with Xiao Shao.
That was right—the young man in front of him was Xiao Shao.
The two of them gave him a strange impression. They didn’t seem like a couple. Although they stood together, they maintained a clear distance. They appeared to be acquainted, yet he could see a sense of remoteness on the woman’s face.
How strange!
Pushing the thought aside, he refocused his attention on his script.
"Bai Feifei, I got the script you like," Xiao Shao boasted, trying to take credit. So, the reason he had paid such a high price to cut in line was to please the woman beside him.
"Thank you," the woman replied calmly, offering nothing more. Her expression was neutral, showing neither joy nor sadness as she focused on reading the script in her hands.
They weren’t given much ti, as so of the other guests were growing impatient.
The murder mystery ga restarted.
The script was high-quality, and everyone was having a great ti. Unfortunately, even by the end, the group still hadn’t managed to find the ’murderer’.
Only when the ga master announced that the murderer had won did everyone’s gaze turn to the ’murderer’ standing in their midst.
It was Sun Dasheng—the very person who had been the most active in trying to solve the case and had provided the most useful clues.
"How could he be the murderer?!"
Even after the reveal, everyone was still in disbelief. Any of them being the murderer would have been more believable. One after another, they ca over to add him on WeChat, telling him how well he played and that they should play together again soti.
Sun Dasheng cheerfully added them. He had two WeChat accounts anyway: one for close friends and family, and the other for everyone else.
Finally, a woman with a graceful, slender figure walked up to him.
"You’re very good at these gas. Can I add you as a friend? My na is Bai Feifei."
Sun Dasheng looked up and saw the costud beauty from before. Standing beside her was her devoted escort, though his expression was anything but pleased.
Sun Dasheng paid no mind to the man’s sour face and simply smiled. "Sure. I’m Sun Dasheng."
