Infinite Murder Mystery Game: The Beauty with a Delicate Palm

DM's actions served as a wake-up call to these overconfident newcomers. Wang Zhe was trembling like a leaf, not knowing what he was thinking.

His lips were pale, and the blood on his face had dried, yet he seemed to feel nothing.

"I...I called your names yesterday too."

"fine."

Su Mian had recovered. "This is the first time you've made a mistake."

She herself was one of them.

Su Mian lowered her eyes, secretly regretting how scared she had been just now.

Players who make a mistake for the first time will not be punished. For example, Zhou Yichen rudely talked back to the dean and only saw a terrible illusion.

As for why he wanted to scare her, Su Mian closed her eyes, furrowed her brows, and gently rubbed her temples with her fingertips.

It's just a weird sense of humor...

-

The first discussion ended unhappily. Yu Mao dragged the unconscious Zhou Yichen back to the dormitory. Su Mian had no clue what to do for the time being and decided to do the tasks in the script first.

"I'd like to collect your emotions, is that alright?"

The child put down his chopsticks and smiled at her.

"Can."

Su Mian was somewhat surprised; a black substance condensed in the jar in her hand.

It means "sad".

Is it that simple?

In order not to violate her character setting, Su Mian tries to find boys to do tasks with.

But she soon discovered that the children readily agreed to her requests, and all the emotions collected were always "sad".

……

"Migo, I don't have time to play with you anymore, today is an important day."

Su Mian raised an eyebrow and pulled the child back after finishing his meal.

"What important day is it?"

"Today is the 26th. On the 26th of every month, uncles and aunts come here to pick up a child."

Is today the 26th?

The date on Guan Xiaoxiao's jade pendant is also the 26th.

Su Mian took out the jade pendant from her pocket and waved it in front of the child.

Do you recognize this?

The child looked at it for a moment, then shook his head, looking somewhat impatient.

"Migo, you're so annoying! You wasted my time getting ready. I think you just don't want me to be picked up!"

Su Mian awkwardly touched her nose and put the jade pendant into her pocket.

"Qiu Ni! Hurry up, a very pretty auntie has come outside!"

As soon as the shout fell, all the children in the cafeteria were like firecrackers that had been lit. They dropped their bowls and chopsticks and rushed out, chattering excitedly.

Will she become my mother?

"I could swallow a hornet's nest whole! Auntie would love me!"

"Nonsense, if I punched my own head and smashed it, she would definitely choose me."

……

Su Mian put her hands in her pockets and slowly followed the crowd.

A black car was parked in front of the orphanage, and DM was chatting with a well-dressed couple in front of the gate.

All the children crowded at the window to look out, and apart from Su Mian, the other three also rushed over.

Fish Hat's eyes widened the moment she saw the couple, a hint of panic flashing in them.

Su Mian stared intently at the woman's neck, where there was a jade pendant exactly the same as the one in Su Mian's pocket.

Before long, the three of them started to walk inside. The children, who longed for a happy family, screamed excitedly, banged on the windows, and couldn't wait to get closer.

DM raised his arm, signaling everyone to be quiet. They quickly covered their mouths, but their eyes were wide open, trying to attract the couple's attention.

"My lady, I know I might have gone a bit too far last night. As compensation, I'll do whatever you say today, okay?"

The man led her inside, his waist and abdomen rounded, and he deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke.

The woman playfully slapped his face, but her expression carried a flirtatious and ambiguous air.

"When have you ever stopped listening to me? I..."

The woman paused in her speech.

A girl wearing overalls and with a side braid stopped them. The woman assumed she was also a child eager to be chosen, so she looked her up and down.

She is quite pretty, but with those thin eyebrows and light lips, she looks sickly and frail, as if she might collapse in the wind.

So she waved her hand, intending to go around, but Su Mian called her back.

"Madam Guan."

The woman paused, frowned, and turned back.

How did you know... my husband's surname is Guan?

Su Mian smiled faintly. Her face was already gentle, and her smile made her look even more harmless.

Let's talk in private.

After she finished speaking, Madam Guan chuckled, "You child, why do you talk like a little adult?"

Su Mian glanced at DM and tried to force a shy smile, but to be honest, all she could do was sneer.

DM tilted his head and saw her stiff smile, and inexplicably felt that she looked very silly.

"Isn't it a bit late to ask me now, Migo?"

"But if you didn't agree, you would have stopped me just now."

Su Mian put away her expression; her quirky and mischievous nature made Madam Guan glance at her a few more times.

That eloquent little mouth is actually quite endearing.

He looks sickly; he'll get better soon, won't he?

"Dean..."

Su Mian added another sentence, drawing out the last syllable, with a hint of coquettishness.

DM's knuckles twitched slightly, and he looked away. After a long pause, he spoke, "There's a lounge on the top floor. Let's talk there."

Having achieved her goal, Su Mian immediately composed herself and calmly followed behind the three.

"Ah! I should be as brave as Migo!"

The child behind the window secretly regretted his actions.

"Waaaaah, my new home!"

"Forget it, if you rushed in, the dean would have already ripped your head off!"

Why wasn't Komiko pulled back?

After that, the child who had been arguing back couldn't explain anymore and mumbled for a long time before finally shutting up.

Wang Zhe gazed at the figure disappearing at the end of the stairs, looking somewhat admiring. "Sigh, we can only rely on Migo to carry us."

"What are you thinking? Lin Xiaofan is still lying in the medical room, isn't that all thanks to her?!"

Fish Hat suddenly spoke, his sharp voice sounding somewhat abrupt.

Wang Zhe frowned, then pulled Wen Zirui away.

Stupid love-struck fool.

Only Yu Mao Mao remained at the window, glancing out of the corner of her eye at the two people who had walked away.

She quickly pulled out the script from her pocket and glanced at it, seemingly to confirm something.

-

"quack-"

Flocks of crows swept past the blinds, their dark shadows swirling and crashing against the windowpane.

Feathers and bloodstains were smeared all over the glass.

Su Mian held her breath, frowned, and looked away.

A crow crashing into a window and dying is a very ominous sign.

Disaster is approaching; danger is ringing at the door.

She pursed her lips slightly.

Su Mian's intuition told her that the so-called Sunshine Orphanage was actually hidden behind the sun, with the wronged souls of countless orphans shrouded in shadow.

"Kid, what exactly do you want to tell us?"

Madam Guan sipped her tea and noticed the girl's serious expression.

Su Mian snapped out of her daze and took out a jade pendant from her pocket. "I don't know if you recognize this."

Upon seeing the jade pendant, the woman's expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.

"Little one..."

A hint of regret flashed in her eyes. "What happened to her?"

"She's dead."
