There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

After those delicate, pale fingers tightly gripped his throat, the male waiter finally snapped back to reality.

He grimaced and said, "You can't do this. My dealer is still inside the hotel. If I go so far to deliver this item for you, what will happen to my own mission?"

Xu Shuo replied indifferently, "Don't worry, he shouldn't be dead yet. He won the fight just now."

The male waiter was startled, "What do you mean?"

...

Earlier, when Xu Shuo went to gather information and looked for this person, he arrived at the third floor of the hotel and naturally noticed the fight on the right side of the corridor.

It wasn't very loud, but it was quite brutal.

Manager Zhang seemed to be trying to take something from the other person, and that person was desperately protecting it. The fight between them was fierce!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

If not for being busy with a mission, Xu Shuo would have even wanted to sit down and enjoy the show.

In the end, as the person on the opposite side faced a miserable defeat and was on the brink of death, he seemed to murmur something, his breath too weak to be heard clearly.

Manager Zhang spat out shattered organs, and then turned back. Xu Shuo did hear clearly what he said next, "I don't care whether you win or lose, anyone who hinders me from completing my task must die!"

Ah, this.

It sounded like they were on the same side after all.

...

"In any case, just help me deliver this item, and when you return, I will definitely find that dealer for you," Xu Shuo said.

"Cough, then why don't you go yourself?" the male waiter looked at him suspiciously.

"I still have things to do in the hotel, so will you go or not!"

"Alright, alright, I agree. Bro, please let go of me…"

Feeling the grip on his neck tighten and breathing uncomfortably, the male waiter quickly caved in. When the grip did not relax, he had a sudden inspiration and added, "I absolutely won't spill your secret about cross-dressing!"

Xu Shuo: "..."

Xu Shuo regretfully loosened his grip.

This guy's thought process was different from others. When people saw Qiuzi, they all thought they were siblings, but he was the only one filled with thoughts of cross-dressing.

He didn't even consider how his tall stature of 1.85 meters could ever cross-dress as 1.65 meters!

Xu Shuo coldly shoved the item into his hands, "If you don't deliver the item there, don't even think about seeing your dealer again."

Under the male waiter's horrified gaze, the girl sneered sinisterly, "Because I will kill him!"

In the chilly rain of the night, the girl with pale, ashen skin wore a bizarre smile on her face, her voice hoarse and deep, as ethereal as a demon's whisper.

It wasn't clear whether he was threatened or not, but the male waiter was certainly frightened.

Now that he had calmed down and took a closer look, he felt that the girl's body was strange, her breath barely perceptible, eerily still and silent as if she were a corpse.

The male waiter muttered to himself internally, but dared not say anything outwardly.

After taking the cleaning rag, he tucked it into his pocket, then pulled out a piece of paper he had copied from behind the restroom door.

Since the other party had also mentioned destroying it, he tore up the paper in front of the girl, dug open the earth in the flowerpot, and buried the shredded paper scraps into it.

"Is that good enough?"

"Mhm, go ahead."

The male waiter left, feeling utterly miserable.

Before leaving, he also picked up a rifle from the ground.

The two bombs that exploded out of nowhere had turned the only quiet backyard into chaos. The powerful bombs had left the ground littered with limbs and flesh, and even the soldiers who were still alive had lost their ability to move.

But just as the male waiter stepped out the back door, he saw two squads of soldiers rushing in from both ends of the street to provide support.

He cursed his bad luck and quickly slipped into the narrow alley ahead.

After watching his own courier leave successfully, Xu Shuo withdrew his gaze and looked up at the hotel floors above.

Suddenly, a beam of searchlight from the distance illuminated the wall.

In a room on the third floor, the curtains trembled slightly, likely because the person spying had quickly dropped the curtains after noticing the light. From the location of that room, it was directly on the right side of the corridor.

Unfortunately, he was one step too late.

The postman had just left the area.

Xu Shuo gave a slight smile, turned around, and was about to leave when, in an instant, his head sharply turned to the side.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out from the back gate.

The bullet, fired from a gun, passed through the bonsai in the center of the pond, skimmed over the branches and leaves of the grass bed, whizzed past the temple of the girl, and finally lodged into the trunk of a tree behind her.

The kinetic energy of the bullet even caused her body to feel a slight burning sensation.

Xu Shuo looked at the Capital Commandant at the doorway with some surprise, not expecting that the other had actually noticed something amiss here. Despite the searchlight shining over, the corners of the courtyard were still very dim.

"I knew those useless idiots were blind," the Capital Commandant said expressionlessly.

The entire backyard was patrolled back and forth, and that corner was frequently passed through, but even so, not a single soldier had realized something was wrong!

Contained within the Capital Commandant's flat tone was suppressed rage!

Perhaps it would not have been enough to drive him insane if only the hotel's backyard were not properly guarded, but those snipers outside were just as blind!

He had just been unable to bear it any longer and had dispatched people to check the situation, and well!

It turns out it had already been taken care of!

Several squads of soldiers called from the perimeter burst into the hotel's backyard, numerous gun barrels aimed at the vague figure in the corner, and in the darkness, only her graceful figure could be seen.

This seemed to be a woman.

No matter what, she was not going anywhere!

Xu Shuo stood sideways in the grass bed, his head slightly lowered, his face towards the corner of the wall, with no movement whatsoever, appearing to have surrendered.

But in reality, Xu Shuo was staring at the shadow behind the tree, pondering whether the darkness was sufficient for him to leave?

After all, Qiuzi really wasn't a combat-oriented character, especially in the "normal" world where Qiuzi, unable to use Dark Power, was just an ordinary dancer flitting through shadows.

While he was pondering, the heavy footsteps behind him were getting closer.

The next moment, Xu Shuo swiftly turned towards the big tree behind him, and at the same time, there was the sound of gunfire and bullets whistling through the air.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three bullets, grazing Xu Shuo's body, buried into the ground and the tree. The soldiers, initially approaching cautiously, quickened their pace and rushed over, but when they readied themselves and looked behind the tree, they found nothing.

Everyone was stunned, their gazes turned to the top of the wall.

This corner connected the hotel to the four-meter-high backyard wall and formed an angle. If she had climbed over the wall and run away, they would have seen her figure!

But in actuality, even with the illumination from the searchlights, they found nothing.

The Capital Commandant walked over from behind, silently looking at the empty space behind the tree, whose shadow made the area even darker than elsewhere.

The surrounding soldiers were as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to make a sound.

...

The lounge in the hotel lobby.

The dark room was filled with a thick scent of blood. Due to the indiscriminate attack by those two during the power outage, the lobby was in complete disarray, so for the time being, no one had come to search the area.

Xu Shuo's figure emerged from the corner, then quickly deactivated the Character Card's ability.

The next moment, he spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, his right hand pressing tightly against the bullet wound that had pierced his left shoulder.

This was an injury previously sustained by Doctor Kong's body.

"Character Card, it really is quite powerful," Xu Shuo said with a strange laugh in the darkness.

Worthy of being compared to the Resurrection Card, this rare type of item truly lived up to its name.
