You're cast as a villain, and you're supposed to teach the police how to solve cases?

Meng Yang was thinking to himself, but he seemed to be daydreaming again, which made Lu Fei feel a little helpless.

If movies were filmed like that, one movie could take ten years to make.

Hehe, I'm spacing out again.

[They must have found a complete idiot.]

I thought I was going to get back to the point after saying a few words, but then I started spacing out again.

[Hey production team, could you please give him some cue cards so he can read from them? It would make the show flow better; we can't watch it anymore.]

...

Zhang Cheng bit his lip tightly. He also wanted to hand out the cue cards, but the problem was that this was an immersive variety show.

They can't exactly send a man in black up and solemnly hand over a bunch of cue cards, that would be too jarring.

Meng Yang was indeed still in a daze, mainly because he finally remembered.

The net of heaven is merciless.

A variety show that simulates crime scenes.

He was both amused and exasperated; he had been worried for a long time, only to find out it was a live variety show.

The corpse in front of me was so realistic that it was really hard to tell the difference between real and fake at first glance.

Since they're all fake, that makes things easier.

This variety show really has a wild imagination; it actually tries to educate the public about the law by simulating crime.

My task seems to be to help my sister cover up the fact that she committed murder.

Alright, since you're here, then give it your all.

【Ding! 】

Just then, a clear mechanical voice suddenly rang in Meng Yang's mind.

[Perfect-Level Crime-Solving Training System Launched!]

Meng Yang's eyes suddenly lit up. Here it comes, the golden finger has arrived.

I knew it! How could a time-travel story be complete without a cheat code?

But why is the name of this system so strange? Crime-solving training? Who is it training?

Me?

[System loaded successfully, successfully bound to host, a newbie gift pack is given, which will open automatically.]

[Ding! Host has acquired the skill: Mastery of Human Anatomy.]

[Ding! Host has acquired the skill: Lockpicking.]

[Hint: The host needs to create obstacles in the cases as much as possible to help the police improve their crime-solving abilities. Each successful completion of a mission will earn corresponding rewards.]

[Mission for this mission: Prevent the police from convicting your sister within fifteen days.]

The sound ends here.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

This system is truly full of positive energy.

Setting up obstacles to help the police improve their crime-solving abilities, right? No problem.

In my previous life, I watched all the crime movies, read all the novels, and read all the comics. I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve, it's easy for me!

Holy crap! He still has the nerve to smile.

[This is clearly a blooper! Production team, come out here right now and replace him!]

[Change the actress, or we won't watch. It's an insult to my Lu Fei to act opposite her.]

[I can practically picture it: the moment the police show up, he bursts into laughter and says, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I just couldn't hold it in anymore. I'm the murderer, I'm the murderer!"]

[Negative review!]

[Can you fast forward? I really want to fast forward to see this huge XX.]

...

Lu Fei huddled in her chair. When she saw the smile on Meng Yang's lips, she almost couldn't hold back. She bit her lip hard to stop herself.

What kind of people are these?

I killed someone! Can't you be a little more serious?

Zhang Cheng covered his face, utterly speechless.

I was hoping to find an ordinary person to help out, but I didn't expect to see such a big idiot.

He actually burst out laughing; he'd completely lost face this episode.

The live stream has already garnered over 1 views.

Just then, Zhang Cheng's phone rang.

He looked and saw that it was the station director, Wang Bosong, calling.

Sure enough, what was bound to happen has happened.

"Zhang Cheng, what are you doing? Didn't you say you'd passed the audition for this amateur? How come you're laughing? Are you not planning to do this anymore?"

Wang Bosong's angry roar came from the other end of the phone.

Zhang Cheng moved the phone away a bit, looking helpless.

"Director, he did quite well when I trained him before. He was probably just nervous. He adapted quickly."

"I don't care about stage fright or anything, just get this episode over with! I don't want to see this disgusting show anymore!"

Beep beep beep---

A busy signal came from the other end of the phone.

Zhang Cheng pursed his lips. "Damn it, all you know how to do is curse. Back then, I suggested finding another Best Actor, but you complained about the price and insisted on finding an amateur to fill in for one episode."

Now it's all their fault when something goes wrong.

"Director, how about I go instead?" Liu Chi secretly raised his hand.

"Change my ass! You're so dazzling, so famous, who doesn't know you!"

Liu Chi shook his head smugly. This time, the director had finally told the truth.

...

After thinking it through, Meng Yang turned and closed the door, walked to Lu Fei's side, gently pulled her into his arms, and softly comforted her.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to protect you."

Lu Fei was taken aback by his calm and collected tone and expression. Was he really getting into character? He was even behaving himself. Well, I'll give it my best too.

Let go of my Lu Fei! Have you no shame?!

[Damn it, I was wondering why he suddenly stopped smiling; turns out he was trying to grope me.]

Get your deadly hands off me, or don't blame me for using my forty-meter-long sword.

...

"Brother, I'm scared. What if I get arrested and go to jail? I'm still so young." Lu Fei huddled in Meng Yang's arms, trembling.

"Don't worry, with me here, the police won't be able to catch you."

Meng Yang looked down at Lu Fei, flicked his hand, and unintentionally knocked the annoying miniature camera on his chest to the ground.

"What happened? Why is Meng Yang's live stream black?" Zhang Cheng asked, pointing at the screen.

"Director, Meng Yang accidentally knocked the camera down."

"Damn it! Didn't I tell him to be careful? Now that the cameras are gone, what are the viewers supposed to watch?" Zhang Cheng couldn't help but curse.

"Quickly check if we can get a replacement."

"Director, there's no way to fix it now, but Lu Fei's camera and fixed camera position are still usable, so it won't affect the live stream for the time being. Besides, there were hardly any people in Meng Yang's live stream to begin with."

That's true. Since there's no one around anyway, let's just wait a bit longer. Maybe it'll just end without needing any more updates.

...

"Little sister, I'm a bit confused right now, and I can't remember a lot of things. Could you tell me what we do?"

Meng Yang genuinely didn't know; the time he had traveled through time was still short, and his memories hadn't entered yet.

Lu Fei originally thought Meng Yang had already gotten into character, but she was speechless when he said that.

He doesn't remember any of the case background or the characters' backgrounds.

Lu Fei: "Brother, you deliver food. I'm still in school. After our parents died, we lived with our uncle."

After saying that, Lu Fei tilted her head, avoiding the camera, and gritted her teeth. Surely she should remember by now.

Come on, give him a card, okay? If not, give him mine. I'm too lazy to even yell at him.

[Sigh, just pretend you're watching Lu Fei, and ignore that part.]

I grabbed a magazine and blocked Meng Yang's view so I could only see Lu Fei.

[I'm looking for Japanese photobooks. I really just want to cover up Meng Yang; I don't intend to do anything else.]
