There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game Chapter 170

Chapter 170: Chapter 164: Crimson Dusk Chapter 170: Chapter 164: Crimson Dusk The next morning.

Xu Shuo arrived at work on ti, and the studio held a brief eting to understand the progress of the project.

Then ca the issue of hiring new people.

The construction of the physical ga store was progressing vigorously.

These days, renovations could be completed quickly.

Once they obtained the business license, they could start business directly.

Therefore, in addition to hiring for the studio, they also needed to recruit staff for the store.

...

During his business trip, Li Ziwen, who was responsible for secretarial tasks, had already interviewed several candidates, and now placed a stack of docunts on the desk.

“So many?” Xu Shuo’s brow twitched.

“No, the docunts below are my planned offline operation sches,” Li Ziwen said, pushing up his glasses.

Still a lot…

Xu Shuo looked over the resus of the interviewees one by one.

Most of those applying for positions in the studio were young people or recent graduates, as their studio was really small.

Recent graduates saw this place as a platform for gaining experience, while seasoned engineers weren’t willing to join.

There was no helping it, such was the plight of a small studio.

Xu Shuo seriously picked out a few potential employees, and then started reviewing the operational plans devised by Li Ziwen.

Short video platforms were trending now, and several of his sches included online marketing.

“Doesn’t that an we also need to hire an anchor?” Xu Shuo zoned out for a mont, calculating the wages of this group of people.

“…” Li Ziwen glanced at him: “Actually, you could do it yourself.”

“No, the anchor should be a good-looking girl.”

“Pei Sheng in drag?”

“…”

Although Li Ziwen verbally suggested Pei Sheng, the look in his eyes was sowhat ambiguous.

They settled on the online operation thods, but as for whether Pei Sheng would really do drag, that was put aside for the ti being.

First, they would casually produce a few videos to upload and see the response.

At noon, after having a fast food lunch, Xu Shuo entered the script.

…

…

Crimson Dusk, a story about a scumbag killed on a rooftop with a firewood cutter.

Dressed in the sa school uniform as Xu Xi, Xu Shuo sat in the classroom and finished reading his character’s information.

Unexpectedly, the scripted world created by Script Space was an exact replica of reality, including the set design and the teacher-student relationships.

The only difference was their activities were limited to the comprehensive building of this high school.

The scene of the incident.

But his mory wasn’t blurred at all?

Xu Shuo looked thoughtfully at the sunset outside the window.

The victim was already dead, and it was now the evening of the day of the incident.

As a character closely related to the victim, he would soon be interrogated by teachers and the police.

Well, he was the murderer again…

Before the interrogation plot started, Xu Shuo left the classroom for a while, then returned before the police arrived, sitting quietly in his seat with an innocent expression.

It wasn’t long before a teacher ca in with a police officer and two other students.

Xu Shuo glanced at them; the two students looked nervous, the teacher was slightly calr perhaps due to a more mature appearance, but the young female police officer was composed, exuding a subtle sense of solemnity and authority.

Like a real police officer.

Perhaps because she was addressing students, the female police officer’s voice was gentle: “This male student said that in the afternoon, he saw you leave the study room with Hao Cheng.”

But there was still a hint of sharpness in her tone.

Xu Shuo frowned tily, turned his head to look at the nervous female classmate, and said with certainty, “It was she who asked to call Cheng out, saying she had sothing to say, but she was too embarrassed to ask him herself.”

In an instant, all four pairs of eyes converged on the female classmate.

She gaped, flustered, hastily shaking her head in denial, “No, I didn’t ask her to find Hao Cheng!”

At this mont, the male classmate spoke up, “Wait a second, I rember you and Hao Cheng were boyfriend and girlfriend, right…”

Xu Shuo snorted, “We broke up amicably last week, and afterward, these two seed to hit it off.

When I went to et him, he even thought you were going to confess to him.”

Xu Shuo said while looking at the girl.

“I…!” Her face flushed, she tugged uncomfortably at the hem of her school uniform, her right hand subconsciously moving towards her pocket.

“Is there sothing in your pocket?” the policewoman’s eyes sharpened.

“No…

I didn’t…

I an, I wanted to confess!

But I didn’t ask her to call Hao Cheng out.

I was…

planning to do it during dinner!” the female classmate exclaid in desperation.

She took the love letter out of her pocket, an item that never had the chance to be delivered since the male protagonist had already jumped off the building.

“What are you talking about!” Xu Shuo made an incredulous expression, “It was clearly you who asked to invite Hao Cheng out, saying you wanted to give him a surprise.

Why are you denying it now?

Could it be that Hao Cheng didn’t jump by himself, but you pushed him?”

“I…

I didn’t!

I didn’t invite him!” the female classmate panicked.

“Then where were you at the ti?”

“I was on the rooftop…”

“…”

The scene fell into silence in an instant.

This kid obviously just entered the Script Space and was completely clueless about the Scripted Murder Ga, still not having adjusted her mindset.

Xu Shuo guessed that they probably only reached the second script.

This also proved indirectly that the story in this script was really simple!

Although it seed a bit unethical to bully a true newbie, Xu Shuo still wanted to speed up the ga’s progress.

The way to escape being pegged as the murderer was to turn others into the murderer!

It was a stale and ordinary love triangle.

The male protagonist had been dating Girl A for three years.

Their relationship seed affectionate but was actually superficial.

Tiring of his current girlfriend, the boy’s attention shifted to Girl B, and he began developing a vague and ambiguous relationship.

Once he had nearly won Girl B over, the male protagonist proposed a breakup.

Girl A, unable to persuade him to stay, tearfully agreed to part ways amicably.

But in reality, Girl A was still secretly watching her ex-boyfriend, wanting to know why he broke up so suddenly.

Yet, she discovered that the man had, at so unknown ti, started flirting with a classmate of theirs!

Girl A was furious, feeling played by a jerk!

Since Girl B seed unaware, Girl A didn’t confront her, only planning to fra her as the murderer instead.

So this evening, Girl A had arranged to et Girl B and staggered the ti to get her ex-boyfriend to the rooftop, planning to have a showdown.

Her intention was to forgive and reunite, but it seed a mishap occurred during the negotiation, leading Girl A angrily to choose Plan B!

She picked up a rock hidden in her uniform, knocked her ex unconscious, and then threw him off the rooftop.

Alongside him, she also threw down his textbooks, trying to create the illusion that he committed suicide due to the imnse pressure of the college entrance exams.

As she finished everything and hid in a corner, the unsuspecting Girl B happened to walk onto the rooftop.

Then Girl A quickly left before the other girl noticed her.

A clumsy disguise, but it did serve to muddle the facts.

However, evidence was inadvertently left at the scene.

Unfortunately for her, Xu Shuo had heard the gossip from Pei Sheng the night before.
