Infinite Murder Mystery Game: The Beauty with a Delicate Palm
Chapter 108 The Ball
The next second, the lights suddenly went out, and only the bright moonlight could be seen shining through the dome skylight.
With only a pitiful glimmer of light, the detectives identified each other and helped one another up.
Classical music, mixed with the piercing sound of a water harp, approached from afar, like the weeping and sighing of ghosts, blending into the crowd and instantly putting everyone on edge.
Luna: "Luckily there's moonlight, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to see anything at all."
Su Mian: "It's not moonlight."
Her words drew everyone's attention. The players followed her gaze and saw that the moonlight seemed to be near and far. Upon closer inspection, it appeared that it was not in the sky, but rather attached to the dome.
"It's a nightingale."
The white outline is made up of millions of white feathers, and the black part is not the concave surface of the crescent moon, but... an eye that is turning.
Pip: "Ugh... this is really making my sanity drop like crazy."
Su Mian glanced at his long neck and said, "If you looked at yourself more, you wouldn't be like this."
Pip: "..."
The music suddenly became urgent, the nightingale's feathers quickly folded together, and two tufts of glowing feathers fell from the sky.
"Find your dance partner and start dancing."
"Find your dance partner and start dancing."
The sound of dawn came from the stairs. People around held hands, the ladies lifted their skirts, and the men bowed. To this eerie music, they tiptoed and twirled, the ladies' skirts blooming like flowers.
"So...we're just going to dance like this?"
Pippa pulled up the bewildered Willow, and the two awkwardly tried to imitate the NPC's movements. Tian Nuan, disdaining to dance with the players, casually picked a handsome prince.
Felix was pushed aside by the crowd. He touched his hair, too embarrassed to invite anyone else, and could only stand there awkwardly.
Su Mian stared at the sky as the two feathers slowly fell, as if it were some kind of time limit.
What happens when a feather falls to the ground?
In a flash, she understood immediately.
"It's a game."
"A game where players need to group up based on the number of feathers they have."
Su Mian murmured to herself, then turned to look at Luna. Luna understood immediately and took her hand.
Upon hearing this, Felix panicked and looked around, only to find it was too late.
Everyone around had found a dance partner, and the feathers had already landed on the chandelier. The nightingale's eyes looked over, as if choosing a human she liked.
Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters above the ground.
Su Mian took Luna's calloused hand in hers, feeling a vague unease. Her sixth sense told her that something was wrong.
However, the two feathers and the situation of all the NPCs present confirm this, and the first round will pass smoothly soon. So what is wrong?
Luna suddenly clutched her stomach, her expression pained. "Your Highness, please slow down."
After saying that, Su Mian immediately widened her eyes and pushed her away.
Seven meters, six meters.
With a look of horror on Luna's face, Su Mian shouted at Felix, "Hey hunter! Come here!"
Upon hearing this, Felix immediately ran over, his fear fueling his strength as he pushed through the crowd to the center of the bath, where he weakly steadied himself to sleep.
Upon seeing that "incredibly ugly" face, he suppressed the urge to vomit and swayed his body haphazardly to the music.
It's okay, it's okay, just stay alive.
He told himself this silently.
Five meters, four meters, three meters.
The feather fell to the ground. Luna stared at Su Mian in disbelief, her lips trembling, unable to believe that the player she trusted would abandon her.
The lights came on in an instant, and there were only two people standing alone in the room, a girl in a corner holding a teddy bear.
She looked too young, and no one wanted to dance with her. The other was Luna, a pitiful pregnant woman.
"Your Highness Elizabeth, you..."
Before Luna could finish speaking, a girl screamed from afar. Mao Shi stood in front of the girl with his back to the crowd.
She lowered her head, twisted it, and heard a "crack." The girl stopped screaming and fell into the crowd. The smell of blood spread, and fear engulfed the area.
"What a pity... one of them died this round."
Mao Shi wiped his front teeth, turned around with a grin, and the other players immediately held their breath.
Willow remembered that at the beginning of the film, Mao Shi said that his front teeth could bite through a human skull, and he immediately knew what had happened.
He gasped for breath in fright, his thumb trembling as he pinched his philtrum.
Su Mian: "You and your child are two separate people."
Felix couldn't wait to get far away from his sleeping place.
Luna was overjoyed to find that she was still alive and heard Su Mian's explanation. She rushed over and shook Su Mian's hand.
"Your Highness, Your Highness! You're amazing! You saved my life, I don't know how to thank you enough..."
Su Mian shook her head. "I'm just saving myself."
While everyone was still recovering, the lights went out again, the music started, and the second round of the game began. The few who had accidentally stumbled upon the game in the first round also looked up at the sky.
Willow: "There are three feathers!"
"Quick! Quick! Let's all jump together!"
After saying that, Pipla took Felix and Summons in his arms, and Willow, afraid of being left alone, joined them, making it four people in total.
With an unequal number of people, Felix didn't even glance at Su Mian and directly took Willow's hand.
Su Mian's hand paused in mid-air for a moment, then she turned her head and was pulled by Luna.
"Me, my child, and you, that makes three."
Meanwhile, Tian Nuan had already found suitable candidates. As the queen, no one dared to disobey her. As for those who were left out, things wouldn't be so easy.
The music stopped, followed by a few more screams. After wiping her mouth with satisfaction, Luna spat at Felix.
It's obvious he disliked Elizabeth's appearance, but she saved him in the first round, and he treated her like this.
Luna is also a single mother in real life, so she was quite surprised by the identity she was given this time. She didn't help Su Mian for no reason.
A woman's intuition is always very accurate. On the first day she saw Su Mian confronting DM, she knew from his calm and collected demeanor that he was the powerful figure she needed to rely on.
As expected, the girl saved her life, and in return, she would help the girl.
Su Mian didn't have much of an emotional reaction; she just found it hilarious, since she could easily torture him to death by using her own persona.
I never expected Felix to be such a fool. Of all people to offend, I had to offend her.
In the third round, five feathers fell, and not counting Tian Nuan, they had to remove one person.
Su Mian and Luna were three people. The three of them wanted to call Luna over, but Luna refused to go and just clung to Su Mian's arm.
She used the same force she'd use to grab vegetables at the market, refusing to let go no matter how much she was pulled or dragged, and then she yelled.
"Leave that stinking hunter here! Come over here with us."
There was no time to lose. Sweating profusely, Willow's will to survive reached its peak, and he rushed forward without thinking.
Seeing that he was leaving too, Pip abandoned Felix in an instant.
