Infinite Murder Mystery Game: The Beauty with a Delicate Palm
Chapter 117 A Shocking Game on the Chessboard
Forty picked up the card and examined it. It looked familiar, but he couldn't quite place it. A sharp pain shot through his head.
["Bewitching Spell": When this card is used, the designated person will experience an overwhelming surge of lust for you, becoming completely obedient to your every command.]
"If you're confident you can make her fall in love with you, you don't need this. After all, a fool like her who clings to men can be easily won over with a few tricks."
"What is this?"
When Tian Nuan saw him ask using lip reading, she frowned and said, "Don't ask so many questions. You don't need to know. You just need to know how to use it."
"I can take back the contract of servitude at any time. Your life is in my hands. You'd better finish the task quickly. Every day I look at her makes me feel nauseous."
Tian Nuan tidied her hair, smiled at him, and felt much better after a major problem was solved. Without looking at the expression on the person behind her, she walked straight out of the room.

"Elizabeth... can we trust what that little dwarf says?"
Several people crouched down and sneaked into the corridor out of sight of the guests. At the far end of the corridor was the castle's toilet.
The candlelight was dim, and the platinum-colored carved walls stretched to the ceiling, with a huge oval mirror embedded in the washbasin.
The windowsill was obscured by off-white curtains, making it difficult to see clearly.
Willow grabbed the back of Pip's suit jacket, Felix followed closely behind Su Mian, and even pushed Luna aside.
Su Mian held up an oil lamp and made a shushing gesture. The dwarfs told them that strange noises would come from the castle's toilets every night.
Sometimes it's a man, sometimes a woman, sometimes a child—it's all very strange.
However, each dwarf hears a different voice, so they cannot determine who is correct. Therefore, they must come at midnight to find out.
She stepped into the entryway, the curtains on the windowsill fluttering in the wind. Su Mian held up an oil lamp to observe, but found nothing unusual.
Felix stepped forward and pushed open the doors of each toilet, the clanging sounds echoing in the empty rooms.
He scratched his head. "It seems... there's nothing there."
Suddenly, Luna exclaimed in surprise, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound as she drew back the curtain.
Behind the curtains was not a windowsill at all, but a whole uneven white cement wall, as if something was about to burst out from behind the wall.
Just then, the clock struck twelve.
𪠽–
𪠽–
𪠽–
"Holy shit!"
Willow shouted and climbed onto the sink with a kick. The stone tiles under his feet suddenly changed color, and the red and white checkered pattern gradually disappeared from the outside to the inside, turning into black and white tiles.
At first glance, it looks like a giant chessboard.
"Waaaaah..."
"Ugh..."
"Hahahahaha"
Suddenly, various sounds rang out from behind everyone—children, men, women—some laughing, some crying, and some screaming.
Pip's face turned ashen, and he stood frozen in place, not daring to look back or move an inch.
Only Su Mian and Felix looked back, and even though they had prepared themselves mentally, their vision was still severely impacted.
The wall behind the drawn curtains, with its uneven surfaces, transformed into a series of deathly pale faces.
It was as if the cement sculpture had suddenly come to life, smiling at them and crying at them.
Most of the screams were silent, but they all opened their mouths wide, as if they wanted to say something, and the changes in their expressions caused the walls to distort.
Each head stretched forward, dripping molten cement onto the ground.
"What are you waiting for? Run!!!"
Willow caught a glimpse of the wall out of the corner of his eye, and a chill ran down his spine.
The physical reaction triggered by fear made his scalp tingle, his limbs go weak, and he even felt nauseous. Seeing Elizabeth still staring blankly at him, he crawled from the sink to the door.
Su Mian snapped out of her daze, and Felix quickly pressed her for an answer, "What did you find?"
"The king's face is in this."
Before she could even point out the exact location to Felix, Luna grabbed their hands, her forehead beaded with sweat.
"Didn't you notice the ground changing color?! Run! It'll be too late!"
As he was about to pull the two of them up, Pip slammed the door shut.
Willow: "What are you doing?!"
Pip's face turned pale, and his legs trembled. "That, that king's chess piece, is outside."
With just one sentence, everyone held their breath. A dark figure could be vaguely seen in the glass of the door, standing still and staring at them.
Willow gasped and shrank back, accidentally touching the faucet switch, which suddenly made a strange sound.
Gudu –
Gudu –
What was that sound?
Su Mian frowned and looked behind Willow. Willow was so frightened that he jumped off the sink and leaned against the toilet door.
The faucet trembled, and the sound was like swallowing or vomiting.
With a screeching sound, several long, black and white cylindrical objects poured out of the faucet, gushing out continuously and instantly filling the entire sink, overflowing in less than half a minute.
There was a bunch of chess pieces, all kinds: pawns, rooks, knights, queens, bishops, but no king.
"Thump—"
"Thump—"
The king's chess piece started banging on the door. Pip covered his mouth and hid behind Luna, "What do we do? What do we do now?!"
Su Mian glanced at the chess pieces in the pool and the black and white squares on the floor.
"We need to set up a formation."
Willow: "Now?! He's coming in—"
Luna gritted her teeth, "Stop talking nonsense! Throw the chess piece over here!!!"
As he spoke, Willow casually grabbed a handful of chess pieces and tossed them to the group. Su Mian caught them, arranged all the usable pieces, and threw the rest aside.
Once the first two rows of chess pieces were set up on the board, the commotion outside the door ceased, and two rows of black pieces appeared on the opposite side of the player's floor.
The banging outside the door stopped completely.
The black and white squares stretched out beneath my feet, and light illuminated each square one by one, activating the chessboard.
"It's starting," Su Mian said.
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, the black piece on the opposite side made the first move.
Without any probing, Black advanced its pawns along the entire line, with the two central pawns moving in parallel. The knight on the queenside then leaped out, blocking the diagonal, and the black rook slid along the baseline, sealing off the passage.
This is a very standard offensive move, with a fast pace. If the player is calm enough and spends some time studying it, they will definitely win.
But the wailing and howling behind them rose and fell, growing louder and louder, disturbing their peace of mind.
The situation on the white side appeared chaotic.
"Go first and take control of the center!" Willow shouted anxiously when he saw that they were not making a move.
"No, the enemy's pawns are pushing too fast, the knight will be crushed," Luna retorted. "We should defend with the rook first." No one knew how a housewife could play chess.
Pip stood on the outermost side against the wall, clutching a chess piece in his hand, his face pale, unable to utter a single word.
