There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game Chapter 417 - 364: Dividing the Forces into Two Groups

Darkness under the lamp? The puppet master is actually the killer?

Although this kind of thing sounds a bit fantastical, it’s not impossible for such a twist to occur. One should never underestimate the diversity of a Scripted Murder Ga!

Moreover, they also had the task of escaping the amusent park.

To complete this task, they might have to identify the killer among them and inform the mysterious person to be let go, find a secret passage out of the amusent park, or directly contact the mysterious person to facilitate their departure.

The possibilities were nurous!

In any case, the mysterious person who kidnapped them certainly had a reason to get in touch with them.

Even guessing boldly, the mysterious person could be one of the six of them!

Doesn’t that seem possible?

After all, that mysterious person claid to be watching them constantly, but they had yet to figure out in what form, which was why everyone had been cautious not to act rashly.

The group exchanged glances and then gestured with their fingers to communicate silently before leaving the security room filled with surveillance caras.

"But right now, we don’t know where that person is, or even who they are." As soon as they left, the male security guard raised this concern.

"Actually, it’s not that difficult. To monitor us in such a huge amusent park, he basically has only three thods," Xu Shuo said, "First is Vision Power surveillance, second is surveillance monitoring, and third is informational tool surveillance."

Everyone appeared thoughtful.

If it was Vision Power surveillance, stepping into a building would render them unseeable to the observer; if it was surveillance monitoring, they could avoid caras; and as for the final thod, informational tools, they had nothing on them but their clothes! Find exclusive stories on .Côm

But, in fact, there’s usually a fourth thod.

Magic Power surveillance!

However, the players examined their sealed abilities and items and roughly determined that this might be a genuine Scripted Murder Ga, and even if there were supernatural elents, they definitely wouldn’t exceed the limits of an ordinary person.

"But we might only have four hours left now."

The male security guard spoke up again, "The mysterious person said he would detonate a bomb in the amusent park at six o’clock. What if he isn’t even in the amusent park at all? Wouldn’t we be wasting ti searching aimlessly?"

"So we just ignore the kidnapper?" the female tourist raised an eyebrow.

"But we truly don’t have much ti," the ticket seller said softly and weakly.

"Actually, I think it’s worth trying to find the mysterious person. How about this, we split up into groups of three, with three people searching for the killer and three searching for the mysterious person. What do you think?" the male tourist proposed imdiately after.

"I agree with the plan to find the mysterious person and leave the amusent park. We are trapped here and whether or not we can get out is entirely up to the mysterious person’s word. If he reneges on his promise, we have no recourse," the Park Director said.

That was more or less four votes for the plan.

And since they were all trapped, even if there might be a killer among them, cooperating was still better than acting alone.

With cooperation, information could be fully shared, and groups of three ensured that no one could hide information.

The male security guard reluctantly agreed, "Okay then, three people search for clues to the killer and three search for clues to leave the amusent park through the mysterious person. How shall we divide the groups?"

Xu Shuo, who had been silent after raising the question, finally spoke up again, "Those looking for the killer should be the ones with the least suspicion against them; otherwise, it would be easy for the killer to take advantage and conceal incriminating information."

The female tourist nodded, "I agree!"

"In that case..."

The male security guard looked at the others and analyzed, "The Park Director has the highest suspicion, he definitely can’t be the one to search for the killer. It should be the ticket seller and you two tourists who were the last to enter. My analysis is correct, isn’t it?"

The female tourist had a question, "But you said you left your post at four-thirty. Although the surveillance shows you entering the ’Rapids Advance,’ who knows if you didn’t also leave through a side door of the facility to commit the murder?"

The ticket seller also had an issue, not sounding weak at all, "I only stayed there for five minutes before and after I entered, how could I possibly be the second most suspicious? In five minutes, you think I stabbed the victim thirty-six tis and took the ti to place the body amongst the props, then walked out without a drop of blood on my clothes?!"

Even if that was close to the victim’s ti of death, the logic still didn’t make sense!

As the pri suspect, the Park Director opened his mouth to find he couldn’t refute anything.

Since there was no surveillance footage outside the amusent park, naturally no one would believe whatever he said, and the murder weapon was found to be a fruit knife from his office.

So in the end, the Park Director kept an aggrieved silence.

They had just decided on dividing into groups for action, but now they were arguing over who should be in each group.

The male security guard also felt a headache coming on.

After all the back and forth, the truth was that everyone was a suspect, and the levels of suspicion were pretty much even.

However, the selection of personnel to look for the murderer did indeed need careful consideration.

"Hey, everybody, let’s be calm and not get too worked up,"

Xu Shuo stepped forward to diate: "We don’t have much ti, so let’s stop arguing. The most suitable people to go to the Haunted House to look for clues about the murderer are indeed , the security guard, and the tourist. The three of us must monitor each other!"

"..."

The two tourists needed to be split up, and both sides agreed that it was no problem, but the couple, no matter how the groups were arranged, absolutely could not end up together!

The Park Director, being the most suspected, was destined not to be part of the search for the murderer.

The ticket seller, though she looked a bit innocent, had entered the Haunted House around the sa ti the victim was killed, so she too had to bear with the inconvenience.

The sun still hung slightly to the west in the sky, but compared to when they had first woken up, it seed to have dipped a little lower.

They really didn’t have much ti left.

In the end, the group searching for the murderer said they were completely fine, and although the group tasked with searching for the person and finding the path felt aggrieved, they also expressed their desire to save ti and not argue any further.

...

In the town square, the six people, expressionless, stood together as if in a prolonged dispute, then finally split in half.

It looked like they parted on bad terms.

"Zzzt—"

The amusent park’s loudspeaker suddenly emitted a jarring electrical sound, and then that androgynous, slightly childish synthesized voice rang out again.

"Wow, you guys are still arguing at a ti like this? But you should indeed argue, as you really are a bunch of annoying murderers!"

Everyone halted in their tracks.

There were many loudspeakers installed throughout the amusent park, and the voice seed to co from all directions.

"Let tell you so good news first, there are three hours left until six o’clock – hahahaha…"

After finishing this sentence, that voice let out another burst of harsh, grating laughter, then disappeared amidst the busy tone.

The expressions of the six people in the square were indecipherable as they frowned, then exchanged glances.

As if by telepathy, one of the male tourists imdiately turned pale and pointed angrily at the other three, shouting, "Incompetents! It’s all your fault for wasting ti!"

The Park Director also followed soon after, shouting in rage, "I must be cursed with bad luck to be treated as a murderer! You people are the real murderers, I say!"

The female ticket seller could not bring herself to curse out loud, so she picked up a small stone from the ground and hurled it with all her might.

Faced with such treatnt, the expressions of the three on the opposite side darkened.

But they said nothing, exchanged a look, then turned and hurriedly left as if fleeing.

...

After walking a short distance, the female tourist tugged at the corner of her mouth: "I suspect they just spoke what was really on their minds."

Xu Shuo still spoke with a calm tone, trying to smooth things over: "We don’t need to take it too seriously. After all, they are considered the most suspicious, so they are bound to be filled with resentnt."

"It seems that the mysterious person can’t hear us, which ans that our conversations with each other are at least safe," said the male security guard, who was walking in front.

"Oh, so should we go to the Haunted House now?" asked the female tourist.

"Let’s go look for clues."
