There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

```

About Luo Kun's resurrection ability, Xu Shuo actually only had some guesses.

Killing until later, it took Luo Kun more than half an hour just to piece his shattered body back together. Xu Shuo yawned as he waited, only to see him finally patch himself up.

Then the killing continued.

The thick scent of blood wafted through the dark environment.

Xu Shuo stared at the bodies on the ground, his eyes extremely bright, his whole being so excited that it seemed almost abnormal.

Game over countdown: five minutes.

By now, Luo Kun had already been lying there for twenty minutes.

The resurrection times indeed were getting longer each time, so if Luo Kun hadn't resurrected before the end of the game, would it count as him being already dead?

As he was thinking this, the boy whose throat had been slit suddenly opened his eyes and then quickly retreated into the distance without stopping.

But before he could flee thirty meters, the attack from behind had already caught up with him; the fruit knife, which appeared from who knows where, was already stained red, and then it was plunged into his body once more, causing blood to spurt out.

The bright red liquid splashed on the man's face, and in the darkness, only a pair of shining eyes could be seen, with chillingly joyful laughter in the gaze.

When facing the threat of death, the full-body shiver and fear could cause an adrenaline surge that, at its peak, could even create a sense of dependence and excited anticipation!

This is, an emotion known as thrill!

Luo Kun died again.

Xu Shuo calmly wiped the blood off his face and squatted next to him to perform surgery.

The human brain is the most important part; the nerves must be cut and the brain marrow completely destroyed, followed by the cervical vertebrae. Next is the organ for blood transfusion, the heart, which can be cut out directly by severing the vessels.

This time, resurrection should take a long while, right?

The darkness was utterly silent, with only the heavy, pungent scent of blood still spreading.

Time flowed leisurely onward, and even though there was no clock, it seemed as if somewhere the ticking sound could be heard.

The moving second hand, like an evil ghost coming for souls, heavily trampled the ground. Its clear footsteps landed on the beating heart, oppressing and intimidating the tightly wound nerves.

It had already come to one's side.

[This theater's "Free Night" has ended, and you will soon leave this world. Please prepare, players.]

Oh, it was the system notification.

...

...

A blank Script Space.

The youth lying on the lacquer sofa suddenly opened his eyes, terrible dark red seeping into the depths of those pitch-black pupils. But soon enough, that hint of red was suppressed.

"Ha...haha, Doctor Chu…"

Luo Kun gasped for air, like a person choking in their dying moments. He raised his hand to cover his eyes, his smile twisted and gruesome to an extreme degree.

He had been killed over a dozen more times!

That agony, penetrating deep into the skin, into the marrow, into the soul, was all too familiar!

Luo Kun's body trembled uncontrollably, unclear whether it was fear or overly excited agitation, his consciousness more active than ever.

He wanted to kill that person, wanted to hear the other's wails and pleas for mercy, and even more, he wanted to let his blood flow to every part of the ground!

Such a person must be thrilling to kill!

Furthermore, once his innate abilities grew stronger, he could also kill that person dozens of times!

The youth curled up on the sofa, trembling, unable to contain the fervor boiling up from his chest, and it took a long while for him to calm his agitated emotions.

Remembering something, Luo Kun quickly opened the Player's Handbook and flipped to the script he was involved in.

"Free Night" in production.

Too slow...it's just too slow!

"Yo, out already? That was pretty fast."

When Xu Shuo opened his eyes, he saw Hong Rao sitting next to him, cracking sunflower seeds and watching a movie, but now she carefully put away the seeds and replaced them with some nice-looking pastries on the table.

Xu Shuo was still a bit disoriented, thus he gazed into the void as he slowly gathered his thoughts.

Then he noticed that the movie Hong Rao was watching featured him in some scenes, though they were all just ordinary level-one scripts.

"Have you been here the whole time?" Xu Shuo suddenly asked.

"Mm-hmm." Hong Rao nodded.

After players enter the Script World, players visiting someone else's Script Space can choose to leave or stay on their own, but if they leave, they need to get permission from the host to come back next time.

While players are in the real world, the time difference with the Script World can be as short as a few seconds or as long as a few minutes.

But if they stay in the Script Space, the time difference with the Script World is one-to-one, and the time difference with the real world is also one-to-one.

So for Hong Rao, she had been cracking sunflower seeds here for ten days, and her body had also slept for ten days in the real world.

Xu Shuo suddenly became curious about her occupation.

Drinking her floral tea, Hong Rao said, "After all, it was your first time teaming up with my young partner on a mission. I had to stay and keep an eye on things, right? So, how did it go, did you win?"

"Won," Xu Shuo nodded.

"Was it difficult to win? I remember this time the team leader was that girl Pianning, her strategic vision is quite decent." Hong Rao asked with interest.

"Pretty easy," Xu Shuo nodded again.

Hong Rao raised an eyebrow, then heard him continue, "I just slept through to the grand finale, no idea how I won."

Hong Rao: "..."

They said it's an easy win when you tag along, but you really "slept your way to victory"?'

Thus, Xu Shuo gave Hong Rao a brief rundown of what happened in the script from the perspective of an extra.

Once out of the Script World, the memory of the walkthrough Xu Shuo had seen before returned to him. He remembered that Professor Li's character was indeed a playable character, truly existing, not a BUG.

So, this time, he actually hadn't landed in the wrong body.

That was pretty intriguing.

Xu Shuo asked curiously, "Has anyone ever got Professor Li's Character Card?"

"Professor Li's Character Card?" Hong Rao took a sip of tea and smiled, "You've asked a good question there. Our guild once researched Professor Li's Character Card but found that it had a paradox BUG, leading to no player being able to acquire his card."

"What?" Xu Shuo was startled.

"You know that in 'Free Night's' scripts, New Humans have this thing called spiritual power, which allows them to unleash superpowers, and players automatically inherit the character's superpowers when they enter the role," she explained.

"Yeah, I know." Xu Shuo nodded.

Hong Rao continued, "Then we found that, Professor Li's character has an ability called 'Memory Storage,' but the memories he stores are not available to players. To access those memories,players rely on their own spiritual power to explore."

Xu Shuo thoughtfully said, "So, you mean players can inherit his Mind Reading Technique and Teleportation, but can't inherit the Memory Storage ability?"

"Right, and here's the thing!"

Hong Rao helplessly spread her hands, "With the spiritual power of a second-stage player, it's utterly impossible to unlock Professor Li's Memory Palace! A fourth-stage player's spiritual power might just be enough, but they can't enter a level-two script!"

"So?"

"So there's no way to get that Character Card."

"Accessing the memory grants the Character Card?" Xu Shuo doubtedly asked, then how come it took him such a struggle to trigger the Character Card?

"Shuo, what are you thinking?"

Hong Rao stretched out her hand, gently stroked Xu Shuo's head with affection, and said, "No second-level player can open his Memory Palace, so no one has done the subsequent experiments. You don't need to worry about his card anymore."

Xu Shuo: "..."
