“Aren’t you going to do something? Officer.”

Lou Jia really couldn't stand it anymore, turning his head to ask the onlookers, the police, for assistance. But what he got was—all the police officers silently put up police tape, enclosing the entire area within a 20-meter radius of the building.

Just work, no talking.

At this time, Ming Mei, who had just driven her car inside the police line, was also notified that she could not leave, otherwise she would be regarded as an accomplice of the suspect.

Ming Mei: 0.0!!!

She was just an innocent bento seller who had just barged in!

Is that what you NPCs are for in this game?

Immediately afterward, Ming Mei witnessed Lou Jia, who was already dumbfounded not far away, having his hands tightly grasped by a police officer who looked like the head of the group, with a sincere face saying, "Everything, I'll leave it to you, Mr. Lou!"

After speaking, he left behind two junior police officers, and everyone else retreated.

The speed of that retreat made it seem like the case was already over!

Players:??

After those police officers retreated, everyone else's gaze fell on the remaining two NPCs, their eyes filled with a hint of condemnation.

What's wrong with you NPCs?!

Even if you're playing a police officer in a game, don't be so perfunctory!

But the remaining two NPCs gave everyone an honest smile, making everyone speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

They didn't seem to be very intelligent.

So, the intelligence of NPCs is also divided into high and low?

…

"So, we can't leave until the case is over?"

Listening to the words coming from the mouths of these two NPCs, who had already been labeled as not very intelligent, everyone was speechless.

"Didn't you say it was a survival game? How does this seem like playing a detective murder mystery game?" Li Yuan, who had been detached from the group all along, suddenly spoke up, expressing the sense of disharmony that everyone had felt from the beginning.

"That's right, this game seems to have only killed one person, and it was an NPC?"

Lu Xiaoyao thought, and then rushed to the corpse that had been directly hit by a falling object, carefully examining the face. After confirming that it wasn't a real player, she said her guess, "This doesn't seem like the style of a survival game. Simply catching the murderer is enough? No, I think there must be more to it than that."

Ming Mei saw Lu Xiaoyao suddenly acting smart and many people were praising her for becoming clever. Ming Mei also felt that Lu Xiaoyao's remarks were good.

However, Lu Xiaoyao's cleverness never lasts more than three seconds, so next she said, "Could it be that this game not only requires us to find the murderer, but also to kill them?"

Speaking in front of the police officers, Lu Xiaoyao's words naturally attracted the attention of the two NPCs present.

"The suspect will naturally be punished by the law once caught."

No one knew how many settings these two police officers had, but some of the things they said sounded quite convincing.

However, when the players recalled the scene of a large group of people retreating just now, everyone still looked at the two NPCs in front of them with a lack of confidence.

So, facing the serious gazes of the two NPCs, everyone replied in unison with a very heartfelt but perfunctory sentence: "Oh~"

Two police officers: Okay, do as you please~

"Okay, regardless of whether the game planner's brain is broken, they're being lazy, or whatever, let's just clear this game first."

Lou Jia clapped his hands, bringing everyone's attention back once again.

At this time, the comments in Lu Xiaoyao's live broadcast room were already in chaos:

[As a player who has played this new game, I can responsibly tell everyone that this game—hehehe, has a lot of traps! And people will continue to die.]

[As expected of Yan Gou! The games are really getting worse and worse. I still remember that New Year's holiday game vividly!]

[Can I say that I spent money to buy bento boxes and still didn't clear that game?]

[+1.]

For a time, the comments suddenly started complaining about the mountain god game that was released during the New Year. After the game, Ming Mei also browsed the forums and saw a lot of complaints about this game.

Some players did discover the hidden route of the mountain god, but the NPC in their game who was a combination of the mountain god and the mysterious merchant was much more brutal than Ming Mei.

Except for when selling bento boxes, they were normal, they didn't provide any information that would help the players advance the plot, and they often did the opposite, leading the players around in circles.

In this way, it was amazing that some players could last until the end, and then finally died at the hands of the mountain god when they discovered the mountain god's plotline.

Ming Mei also specifically looked for several players who had played out the mountain god's plotline. Without exception, the one she played was the least thoroughly corrupted, and finally killed the evil spirit after crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. The other players basically met the evil spirit who completely colluded with evil.

At that time, Mei Shi only felt a little proud.

That kind of independence above all the villains, and a little bit of class!

Well, Ming Mei was very satisfied.

[Heh! What is an expensive bento box? In this game, are there real or fake bento boxes? Let me tell you, if you buy the wrong bento box, you will really die, die, die! Important things three times!]

[Ah? Tell me more about the details, could it be that there is rat poison in the fake bento box?]

[No, no, no, tell a horror story—the real bento box looks more like the fake one.]

[!!!]

Ming Mei:???

Where was she worse than the fake bento seller?

Ming Mei expressed great dissatisfaction with the comments on the screen. When she looked up, she heard Lu Xiaoyao once again saying that sentence: "You look like someone I know~"

But this time, the person she was talking to was not herself, but the fake bento seller NPC.

At some point, the fake bento seller NPC had appeared in front of Lu Xiaoyao with his car.

"Really? In that case, I'll give you an 80% discount on the maocai (a type of Sichuanese stew) bento box. How about it, beauty?" The fake bento NPC smiled gently and said to Lu Xiaoyao, "I don't usually give discounts to anyone~ Beauty, would you like one?"

Heh~

Ming Mei coldly watched the interaction between the one person and one NPC not far away, disdainful.

Lu Xiaoyao never randomly agrees to buy bento boxes, never, never!

"Okay, okay!"

Ming Mei: o.o?!

Ming Mei felt like she was hallucinating. She not only heard Lu Xiaoyao agree to buy a bento box, but she also heard a crisp and loud slap sound!

The slap in the face came unexpectedly!

[Holy crap! What day is it today? My baby actually agreed to buy a bento box?!]

[Oh my god, throw flowers, throw flowers! Oh my god! My baby is promising!]

In addition to these joyful comments, there were also some sober remarks that had already seen through the essence of time—[Hurry up and run! Baby! Don't buy it!!!]

[It's Ming Ming Bento Box, not the Riyue Riyue (Sun Moon) Bento Box!!!]

[Run! Otherwise, you will become unhappy!!]

Unfortunately, only Ming Mei and the viewers in the live broadcast room could see these comments. Lu Xiaoyao had been attracted by a strange system prompt sound in her background.

[Ding—Congratulations to the player for discovering the secret bento box, please enjoy it to the fullest~ You can get a piece of information after eating it~]
