Chapter 107

Because of the limited time, Mu Chen and Mingmei didn't go into great detail.

By the time they exited the game, Mingmei had only summarized: apart from Lu Xiaoyao and Lou Jia, whose actors were truly just passersby, the identities of the other three were abnormal.

There was even a dead man’s identity mixed in to confuse people.

As for Charlie, Mu Chen told her that he had found him earlier when he excused himself to go to the restroom. As the Arbiter, a near-bug existence in the game, he naturally had ways to manipulate a character.

He also took back the rehearsal standing chart from him, taking the opportunity to trick Lu Xiaoyao.

Mingmei confirmed this when she left the game and was about to browse the StarNet when she naturally heard Lu Xiaoyao's "wail" next door because she hadn't closed her balcony window—

Lu Xiaoyao was truly wronged this time!

Mingmei couldn't resist her curiosity and watched Lu Xiaoyao's live stream. She saw her streaming while pulling out tissues, saying how miserable this round had been.

She only got four academic points from the system assessment after exiting the game, less than half of the full score for clearing the game. Plus, she was cheated out of two academic points in the game, which made her tears flow non-stop just thinking about it.

"Wuwuwu, Mingming (clearly) Lou Jia and I were just one step away from knowing the truth... How could this be? How could this be?"

Lu Xiaoyao was devastated when she suddenly heard the game ending prompt after she and Lou Jia's meeting time ended and she returned to her cell!

What she couldn't accept was that as the game was about to end, she couldn't control her body and watched herself hang herself in the cell.

Lu Xiaoyao: !!!!

The game could be played like this?

After exiting the game, she sent a message to Lou Jia, but he said that he had died in an accident after leaving the police station.

Lu Xiaoyao: …

This game left a deep shadow on the two players who played passersby roles.

While crying, Lu Xiaoyao accused the game planners of having a weak sense of law, despising the police, and treating human lives as worthless, with all sorts of outrageous things happening in the game.

"The dog planners' world settings are too detached from reality! How can real cases rely on detectives and players when there are police around? And the character settings, except for me, none of them are normal, okay?

Wuwuwu, this game is too heartbreaking!"

[I think, kid, you can watch other people's game explanations on the forum. Being a noob doesn't mean you can shirk responsibility.]

[You and Lou Jia are still a billion miles away from knowing the truth.]

[The game you're talking about is like a different game from the one others are playing...]

[Mingming (clearly) at the end, you and the detective both realized that the world around you was strange, how can you still say it's the planners' fault?]

[Is there a possibility that the game itself is abnormal?]

…

After being "educated" by the barrage of comments, Lu Xiaoyao seemed to be persuaded in the end?

It seemed that she really was a noob, and she should go take a look.

"Oh, that's great, there are explanations like this, so I don't have to search one by one."

Mingmei became even more energetic when she saw that Lu Xiaoyao was going to watch other people's game analysis.

Very good, she wouldn't sleep tonight.

As a result, her boyfriend's plan to take up Mingmei's pre-sleep time under the pretext of helping her analyze the game also failed because Mingmei was watching the live stream, orz.

The video call was hung up in three seconds. Mu Chen only heard his girlfriend say, "I'm watching a live stream, I'll rest later," and then the video call was hung up before he could even open his mouth.

Mu Chen: …

He didn't even have the chance to ask what little enchantress had stolen his girlfriend's heart!?

"Ha? Li Que isn't Li Que? He came back from the future? How absurd is that?"

"What the hell? Cha Sheng is a reborn person? Bullshit?"

"This, this dead person transmigrated into a book? He squeezed out the male lead's position and then suddenly disappeared?"

"Ah, is the big shot playing a real big shot?"

While watching the players who had played the same game many times piece together the game's world view, plot, and character settings, Lu Xiaoyao's face was now wrinkled into a bun.

Too outrageous, right?

Lu Xiaoyao took her StarNet device and contacted all the players in the game in front of the audience, wanting to confirm their true identities.

Although she didn't get in touch with Mu Chen and Charlie, Li Yuan, who she did contact, confirmed that his identity was indeed from the future.

"Don't lie to me, ah?"

"I'm not."

Late at night, Li Yuan was taking out the books for his lecture tomorrow, worrying about the obscure content. It took a lot of his attention to answer Lu Xiaoyao, so who would have the mind to play with her?

"Then what evidence do you have in the game to prove it? Apart from the report about an unnamed male corpse found half a month ago proving that Li Que is already dead?"

"If you noticed Secretary Mu's computer's itinerary for the dead, it recorded that he had been to a place not far from where the unnamed male corpse was found a month ago.

Moreover, Secretary Mu's records targeting Li Que were exactly a month ago.

Also, you previously suspected me of changing my living habits in the game, and it's the same.

The younger Li Que didn't really like to be clean, but as he became more and more successful like in the original book and stood at the highest point, many of his habits had quietly changed... So this is the fact that my character is inconsistent."

After listening to Li Yuan's long string of explanations, Lu Xiaoyao stopped talking completely.

It still sounded outrageous!

Hanging up the communication, Lu Xiaoyao now honestly watched the game analysis.

Mingmei watched the small details that were discovered by the players, which truly caused a qualitative change due to quantitative accumulation.

Because Lu Xiaoyao and the others were tricked by the fake fan NPC into really thinking that the game was very ordinary, they didn't pay attention to many details.

For example, they ignored a death-from-overwork schedule beside the dead man's itinerary, which showed Secretary Mu's extraordinary 24 hours filled with work;

Also, if the case didn't end so quickly, Cha Sheng's phone would ring in the evening.

At this time, players would ask Cha Sheng to put his phone on speaker, and they would hear a series of praises for Cha Sheng from the other end of the phone—

Praising him for being so perceptive and never failing to bet on horses in a month.

The other party would say that Cha Sheng never came to the scene and entrusted him to buy tickets and bet, sometimes without even knowing what horse was in each column in a horse race, directly reporting the number to let the other party buy it.

However, if they asked carefully, they would find that Cha Sheng didn't always bet on horses, just occasionally, but every time he occasionally bet, he would win big.

In fact, this little thing was also some memory brought by his rebirth;

There were many more like this...

Every little detail deviated these people's character settings from normal people. Only when you realized that the person standing in front of you might not be a normal person did the sense of reality in the world in front of you begin to peel away...

Lu Xiaoyao shared all these game details in front of everyone in the live broadcast room, and it made her scalp tingle.

Someone even shared a small Easter egg about the planner.

The dead man, Shu Chuan, if you read his name backwards, it sounds the same as chuanshu (transmigration).

The male lead, Li Que, has an idiom on Hua Lan Star called "jiu zhan que chao (cuckoo occupying magpie's nest)," which is unexpectedly fitting for Li Que.

Naturally, Lu Xiaoyao didn't fall asleep that night.

And Mingmei, who was watching the live stream, also didn't fall asleep.

So, the next day, when Mu Chen saw Mingmei appear in the classroom with dark circles under her eyes, his face, which was piled with a gentle smile, had already lost control of the anger towards the "little enchantress" who had "seduced" his girlfriend last night!
