Infinite Murder Mystery Game: The Beauty with a Delicate Palm

As she spoke, she glanced at his expression, carefully pulled her hat out from the gap, and darted inside to escape, her two rabbit ears twitching slightly.

That's terrifying! How can it be so scary even after becoming an NPC?

……

Forty lowered his eyes, silently memorized the three syllables, and disappeared into the darkness.

Pip, who witnessed everything from the corner, was terrified, but he dared not think too deeply about it.

He silently told himself, mind your own business, mind your own business...

And so I rushed back to my room.

-

The next morning, Su Mian received a painting delivered by Forti's servant.

In the center of the image is a huge black king chess piece, and the surrounding lines can barely be made to resemble the corridor of the guest rooms on the second floor of the castle.

Su Mian stared at the painting for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so she simply put it aside.

In the lobby on the first floor, Pip was speaking loudly, and beside Luna and Willow, there was an unfamiliar figure standing nearby.

It's the new hunter player, Felix.

"I saw a giant set of kings in the hallway last night! Do you think... it could be the dead coming back...?"

Willow shuddered. "No, that can't be. It's probably just to scare us."

As Su Mian came down from the second floor, everyone's eyes fell on her, including the newcomer Felix.

He was much more striking in appearance than the previous player who played Felix, with a head of very eye-catching pink hair that hung softly over his forehead, making his skin appear fair and radiant.

With delicate features, long and thick eyelashes, and a look of innocent yet focused intimacy when he looks at people, he perfectly embodies the "young and handsome" idol look that is currently most popular.

He was dressed in hunter attire; the leather vest and joggers were supposed to accentuate his rugged features, but on him, they somehow managed to give off a fashionable stage outfit vibe.

He even wore a thin silver bracelet on his wrist, which swayed gently with his movements.

"Good morning, Ms. Elizabeth. I'm Felix, the new teacher. Nice to meet you."

Elizabeth...teacher?

What is this title?

[As for how to address the mentor, Mianmian, you're an earthling and you don't know as much as I do. He looks like a trainee.]

Su Mian's eyes twitched, and she nodded without saying anything.

Willow couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "...Are we in a horror game? Not backstage at a talent show, are we?"

Only Luna looked extremely surprised upon seeing this person, standing next to Pip, wanting to get closer but not daring to.

"You...you wouldn't be the one who debuted solo last year..."

Felix shushed her, smiled, and nodded. "It's best if everyone just keeps it to themselves. Don't say it out loud, or it will go against your image, sister."

The word "sister" made Luna overjoyed, and her eyes filled with tears as she spoke incoherently.

"My daughter loves you so much! She's been to your concert three times, and every time she got a front-row seat. Her room is full of your albums and posters..."

Pip coughed loudly, trying to bring the atmosphere back to the level of a fan meeting.

"Gentlemen, shouldn't we first focus on the murder case at hand and... the strange chess game that appeared last night?"

Luna covered her mouth and apologized repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes..."

Pip: "I'm sure everyone has collected a lot of clue cards by now, so how about we reintroduce ourselves?"

After saying that, he looked at Su Mian questioningly. Su Mian nodded. Although she didn't know why he was asking her, she knew that his idea was correct.

Luna: "I'll go first. I'm a farmer. My husband is dead, and it's just me and my daughter. My daughter loves those red dancing shoes, so I'm attending the ball entirely for her sake."

Pip: "I am the Tooth Fairy. People exchange their teeth for wishes with me. Before the old king died, he exchanged all his teeth for one wish, but unfortunately, he died before the wish could be fulfilled."

"I am an elf, and I have no desire for the red dancing shoes, but I am naturally curious and naive, so I came to the ball just to join in the fun."

Willow: "I'm a cannery owner, and I'm here at the ball to get the red dancing shoes so my cannery's business can boom."

When it was Felix's turn, he first bowed before speaking, "My name is Felix, I am a hunter from Twilight Forest, and I found the red dancing shoes in the forest."

"What?!?!"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Even Su Mian's eyes widened slightly, then she looked at him with suspicion, "Since you found it, why didn't you keep it for yourself? Why did you hand it over to the king? And why did you come to the ball?"

Felix blinked, flashed a standard business smile, and his eyes sparkled.

"Ms. Elizabeth, your questions are very insightful, but I haven't collected enough clue cards yet, so I can't answer them."

Su Mian was speechless, feeling like an entertainment reporter holding a microphone. "You should just call me Your Highness."

"Yes, Your Highness, teacher."

"..."

After the morning discussion, Su Mian sorted through the clues and decided to go to Twilight Forest.

Based on the current situation, everyone vying for the red dancing shoes has a motive to kill.

Felix is ​​the strangest, and there are the most suspicious things about him, so Su Mian chose him for this card draw.

[Drawing clue cards...]

While hunting, Felix unexpectedly discovered a pair of red dancing shoes, and the owner of the shoes appeared to be a short person.

People of short stature...

She herself, Luna, Willow, and Melissa, also known as Tian Nuan, all seem to be of short stature.

Su Mian put away the cards and knocked on Felix's door.

"Ms. Elizabeth, is there something you need?"

"Could you take me to your residence? In exchange, I'll tell you my leads."

The door opened, and Felix appeared to have just finished tidying his striking pink hair, the ends of which were still slightly damp, and he smelled of sweet perfume.

"Of course, Your Highness."

He readily agreed, saying, "It's an honor to be able to go out alone with the teacher."

……

The process went more smoothly than Su Mian had imagined, but the journey by carriage to Twilight Forest was more arduous than Su Mian had anticipated.

The carriage space wasn't cramped, but Felix's presence was too strong.

He didn't make a fuss; he just sat opposite me, his gaze mostly fixed on Su Mian's face.

Suddenly, he leaned forward slightly, lowered his voice, and spoke in a volume that only the two of them could hear.

"Elizabeth's makeup... is very meticulous. She deliberately deepened the eyebrows and even added some acne scars to the cheeks... Is it to cover up her already beautiful features?"

Su Mian felt a chill run down her spine, but her face remained completely still, not even her eyelashes trembled, and she only gave him a cold profile.
