Infinite Murder Mystery Game: The Beauty with a Delicate Palm

They maintained an eerie distance, unable to get close, only their panting breaths blending together, particularly chilling in the howling wind.

At the end of the line, a particularly tall "living dead" suddenly staggered.

It appeared to have suffered a severe head injury before its death, with half of its skull caved in and blackish-yellow pus oozing from its rotting ears.

The sound waves from the copper bell penetrated its damaged ear canal, but only caused a sharp ringing in its ears.

The inability to hear the bell meant it had broken free of control. A bewildered glint of ferocity flashed in its murky eyes, which was then swallowed up by instinct.

"Ho—!"

Its stiff legs burst forth with astonishing power, like a wild beast out of control, smashing past several staggering companions and charging straight toward its resting place.

Su Mian's pupils contracted slightly, and she quickened her pace, forcing herself to calm down, observe the movement of the undead, and then dodge.

However, she slipped and was about to fall into the field when a pair of hands suddenly caught her, took the bell from their hands, and Su Mian's body spun in the air.

The undead lunged forward, and at the critical moment, an arrow precisely pierced the left eye socket of the surging monster.

Su Mian turned around in surprise.

Not far to her side and behind a haystack, Tiffany was kneeling on the ground, the bowstring of an old-fashioned longbow still vibrating in her hand—the bow and arrow she had switched to in her haste.

Tiffany was pale, her eyes fixed on this direction. She must have mentally prepared herself for this moment before firing the arrow; if it had been slightly off-target, it might have hit its mark…

She dared not think too much about it and followed the main group closely. When she saw that Su Mian had been caught by Si Shi, she breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Further back, Qiao Yinuo brought out a huge, super-bright LED light from somewhere. She gritted her teeth, sweat pouring down her face, and struggled to turn the light head towards Su Mian's path.

The blindingly bright beam of light, like a sharp sword, suddenly cleaved through the dim field, illuminating the winding path in front of Su Mian.

"Li Meili!!! Keep going, we're behind you!!!"

Her arms were trembling from holding the bell up, but she dared not let go for a moment. Tiffany kept her eyes fixed on the undead who might break free of the bell's control at any moment, and she dared not relax her guard for a moment.

After checking on Su Mian to make sure she wasn't injured, he continued carrying her forward.

"Your friend is awesome."

He shook the bell, and the undead immediately followed. Su Mian sniffed, feeling a little cold, and hugged Si Shi tightly.

The safest place right now is actually a sleeping place.

In fact, Su Mian used to hate taking responsibility, any responsibility. Taking responsibility meant accepting all kinds of evaluations from the outside world, which made her anxious.

But when it came to actually discussing who should be the bait, she stepped forward without a second thought.

Because of her abilities, she became this person with a heavy responsibility.

Having experienced so much, she transformed from a misanthropic little girl into a leader who was naturally obligated to take on everything, and she began to enjoy leading others to victory.

We've forgotten the glory that comes from solving problems, and there are so many other people around us who deserve it.

Family, loved ones, and partners.

"Sorry, I had some things to take care of, so I'm a little late."

Su Mian opened her mouth and suddenly felt a cool sensation on the tip of her nose.

It's raining.

She spoke, looking up at the sky, where large raindrops began to fall, quickly forming a curtain of rain. Su Mian raised a huge red veil and placed it over their heads.

I only needed red to attract monsters, so I didn't wear a red veil, but I did just that, and it's actually come in handy now.

"You guys go back quickly, it's raining!"

Su Mian turned around and called out to those behind her.

Qiao Yinuo's face was soaked through by the rain, and it was impossible to tell the difference between sweat and rain. She shook her head violently.

"No! It's too dark for you to see the road."

Tiffany was unusually stubborn and unwilling to leave. "I... I bought these items with points, I don't want to waste them."

She smiled, just like Tiffany before, always with a gentle demeanor regardless of her mood.

So Su Mian pursed her lips, silently noted it down, and stopped worrying about it.

It must be said that Si Shi's arm strength was truly amazing. He carried her on the mountain path with one hand and could still ring a bell with the other. He walked on the mountain path for nearly half an hour without ever frowning.

She held the veil with both hands, the red edges and gold tassels of the veil gently brushing against the man's face, as if creating a small world that belonged only to the two of them. Su Mian smiled and her eyes curved.

"I'd really like to see what it looks like when your veil is lifted."

Without warning, Si Shi raised an eyebrow and looked back at her.

"Do you want to see, or do you want to lift the lid?"

Su Mian blinked but didn't reply, though the slightly red tips of her ears betrayed her true thoughts.

At the hour of Si (9-11 AM), they raised their hands and shook the bell again. At a time like this, probably only these two could be so relaxed.

At 9:00 AM, he had no intention of disturbing her sleep; he simply looked at her with burning eyes, those deep, unfathomable eyes that usually held a smile. But at this moment, they were incredibly serious.

"sure."

Looking ahead at 9:00 AM, I thought, "Mianmian doesn't really like to make demands of me. If she does, of course I'll fulfill them unconditionally."

He didn't find anything strange about what she had just said. Maybe the girl just had a sudden whim, or maybe she liked him and wanted to do this. He would grant her wish, because she was his and he was hers.

Su Mian couldn't stand his gentle demeanor; she always found herself unable to resist. She tried to change the subject.

"Where did these living dead come from?"

Si Shi shook his head. "I don't know. They are relatively low-level anomalies. I dealt with one a while ago. I don't know why so many have appeared again today."

Su Mian suddenly grasped the key point in Si Shi's words, and she repeated, "A while ago?"

"A while ago... how long ago?"

She brought it up casually, then paused at 9:00 AM and replied, "Last week."

Upon hearing his reply, Su Mian's hand, hidden in her sleeve, tightened abruptly. Her throat tightened, and she tried her best to control her expression.

"Oh……"

Su Mian nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

As they got closer to the main hall of Yashan Village, Su Mian's head began to spin a little, and her earlier cries when she looked at the red wedding dress grew louder.

But mostly it was murmurs and urging, which I couldn't hear clearly in my sleep. I just felt a sudden fog in my head and a throbbing ring in my ears.

A clap of thunder startled her, and she landed on the ground, her body swaying.

The hour of Si (9-11 AM) has passed.

The bell fell back into her hand, and she turned around abruptly.

Besides the monster imprisoned by her bell, Tiffany and Qiao Yinuo were also gone. Apart from the sounds of the wind, rain, and the monster's roar, the place was eerily quiet.

The world became somewhat blurry. She shook the bell and felt a thread gently pulling her forward.

Many shadows appeared around me, like ghosts or something else.
