Infinite Murder Mystery Game: The Beauty with a Delicate Palm

"Long ago," he began, his voice exceptionally clear in the night breeze, "there lived a girl in a tall tower."

Su Mian turned her head to look at him; the starlight outlined a gentle contour of his profile.

"The tower had no door or stairs, only a small window, and outside the window there was nothing but darkness."

"But Tari has everything: food, a warm bed, and familiar people in unfamiliar surroundings."

"She tried to leave, but she couldn't find an exit. The walls were too smooth to climb, and the windows were too small to even stick her arm out."

"She cried and screamed, pounding her fists on the wall until her hands bled."

"Then she woke up the next day with her hands perfectly fine and the walls smooth as new. She began to realize something was wrong and started to feel like she was dreaming, a strange nightmare."

Cain withdrew his hand and turned to look at Sussip.

"Later, she stopped struggling. She began to think that maybe this wasn't so bad. At least it was safe here, at least it wasn't cold, at least..."

He paused, then pulled his cloak up to cover the girl's upper body.

"At least, someone will come and tell her stories."

A night breeze blew by, and Su Mian struggled to keep her eyes open.

Gravity slowly closed her eyes, and she fell asleep.

The cloak she wore was as warm as a blanket, and a hand was gently patting her back.

Goodnight, sleep well.

*

I slept soundly through the night, and when I woke up in the morning, I found myself lying in the third hard-seat carriage.

Cain carried her in when the carriage opened in the morning, but she had no idea when he left.

Su Mian already knew the whole truth last night, and now she needs to verify one thing.

She got up and went to Zhou Yunfeng's room. She opened his suitcase and, sure enough, found a knife hidden at the bottom of the pile of clothes.

She then went to Ye Shuheng and Jiang Hong's room, where Ye Shuheng had also hidden a knife in his suitcase.

Therefore, the system's warning to Su Mian not to let others look through her suitcase is not just a warning for her, but for everyone.

Ye Shuheng may have intended to frame Jiang Hong for the murderer's ID card, which is why he searched through Jiang Hong's suitcase in the dark.

Unexpectedly, he actually pulled out a knife and placed it conspicuously on top, so that when people misunderstood him, he would come out and explain on their behalf.

Ruan Ruan used her mission to easily kill Lü Meng, killing two birds with one stone.

Every player in this instance is extremely cunning, and the one who surprised Su Mian the most was Wang Yan.

She plays the role of a "fool," making everyone dislike her while simultaneously making them feel that she has no real ability, thus instinctively lowering their guard against her.

On the day of the carriage test, Su Mian belatedly realized that the first person to smear holy water on her forehead was Wang Yan.

Using her keen sense of smell, she didn't even make a sound, but precisely located her forehead and spread the plague to her.

Su Mian was shocked. She had indeed underestimated them, grouping these people together and thinking too superficially about the situation.

But there's no point in saying more, after all, now it's her final battle with Wang Yan.

When Su Mian looked up, she saw Wang Yan standing at the connecting point between the carriages, hands in her pockets, looking at her.

Wang Yan smiled at her.

"I haven't felt this way in a long time; I've met my match."

Wang Yan approached Su Mian step by step, "It's a pity that if you had realized it later, now it would only be me and Ruan Ruan left."

She searched from the twelfth carriage forward one by one last night, but couldn't find it. She even looked at the top storage compartment.

I don't know how this player managed to escape unscathed, but today, it's time to put an end to it all.

When Ruan Ruan finished washing up and came out, she saw this scene and stood in the front carriage, not knowing where to go.

What's going on? What conflict did these two have?

But it's a good thing for her. Anyway, she's the murderer. As long as no one suspects her, she can just vote for one of them and she'll win.

She even sat down silently, her gaze shifting between the two, pondering who deserved to be eliminated.

"The medication has worn off, and there's nothing I can do now. How about..."

She pulled out a knife. "Hand-to-hand combat?"

Su Mian frowned.

She knew her chances of winning in a hand-to-hand fight were slim, but she couldn't refuse. Just as she was about to take the knife she had just taken from Zhou Yunfeng's suitcase, the train announcement came on again.

"Attention passengers, attention passengers—"

"Please complete the test in the hard-seat carriage to unlock the dining car and sleeper car. You can go to the front of the train to vote on the fifth day."

[Next stop, Benmu No.1 Middle School]

The carriage went dark again. Su Mian felt the person lunging forward, so she took a step back and dodged to the side.

An ordinary person's speed is easily dodged by Su Mian, thanks to someone's... treatment.

Hearing the commotion, Ruan Ruan, who had just been watching the show, was now completely panicked.

"Stop fighting, the assessment has begun!"

Wang Yan attacked Su Mian like a madwoman, determined to kill her with a knife.

Su Mian, having been in a weak position for so long, became physically exhausted from trying to dodge too many times.

Suddenly, a deluge of exam papers flew down from above, a blinding white expanse that obscured their view. Su Mian took a moment to catch her breath before looking up at the monitor.

Benmu No. 1 Middle School, unsurprisingly, is the fourth instance of my sleepless night experience.

The light was too dim to see what was written on the test paper. She threw the test paper aside, and Wang Yan also lost her way, looking around blankly.

Welcome to Benmu No.1 Middle School Knowledge Q&A.

[Rules: Three people take turns answering; incorrect answers will increase the rate at which the water level rises]

[First candidate, please prepare to answer the question.]

"What water level???"

Ruan Ruan was hiding behind a chair when suddenly the car window shattered. Startled, she screamed and ducked to the side.

Every window shattered, shards of glass littered the ground, and a torrent of water poured in from the car windows, staining the bright red carpet dark.

The water glasses and electronic devices on the table were all swept into the water, turning the carriage into a scene of disaster in an instant.

Most importantly, players can't see the water and can only judge the depth by touch, which is precisely what makes people more panicked than seeing it.

At first, it only covered the sole of the shoe, but soon it reached the ankle, so fast that it caught people off guard.

"First question, Chinese language."

A mechanical sound rang out.

"Please recite the sentences in 'Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng' that describe the passage of time."

"It's September, the beginning of autumn," Ruan Ruan said quickly, afraid she wouldn't know the answer to the next question.

"Correct answer."

"The second question is in math."

"Given the function f(x)=x²-4x+3, find its minimum value."

"Negative one!"

The water reached her calves, and Wang Yan, no longer caring about her sleep, quickly stepped onto the seat.

"Correct answer."
