There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 746 - 638 You’re Not Even Willing to Fight for It

Chapter 746 -638 You’re Not Even Willing to Fight for It

Xu Shuo stealthily buried the item and, on the other side, Luo Kai had also used four ten-yuan notes to purchase roller coaster tickets.

Luckily, it was in small change, so the ticket seller did not notice whether the money was real or fake and handed him two tickets after taking the cash.

At this time, the previously noisy group of men and women had quieted down, bought some ice cream at the convenience store nearby, and after eating, became a cheerful family again.

——Here they come!

After buying the tickets, Luo Kai didn’t go on the ride immediately but said he was waiting for someone under the urging of the staff, ostensibly the person resting on the bench, but in reality, he was waiting for this group of people.

He quickly shot a look towards Xu Shuo; although it was hard to make out any detail in the gaze from such a distance, Xu Shuo could sense the almost explosive excitement in the man.

...

First off, let’s make it clear, he didn’t use the Mind Reading Technique.

Xu Shuo rose to his feet and sauntered towards the roller coaster ride.

When the two of them entered the ride, the six people had already taken over the first three rows of seats, so Xu Shuo and his companion naturally took the row behind them to observe.

However, the victim was sitting in the first row, and they were sitting in the fourth row, possibly obstructing their view.

But this obstruction was non-existent to both Xu Shuo and Luo Kai.

Given that the amusement park wasn’t very crowded that day, aside from the six people, there were surprisingly only two other outsiders on this roller coaster ride.

In other words, at the scene of the actual accident, there were only this group of acquaintances present, with no third-party witnesses.

Luo Kai’s gaze flickered upon seeing this and glanced at Xu Shuo sitting beside him.

Nonetheless, he appeared relaxed and obediently fastened his safety lock, looking forward and waiting for the roller coaster to start.

With a slight shake, the roller coaster slowly pulled away, starting off slowly on a smooth track, before beginning its climb upwards.

At the roller coaster’s highest point, a girl let out a nervous shriek, followed by the comforting voice of the boy beside her.

The roller coaster had two-seater cars; the first two rows were occupied by two girls, two boys sat in the second row, and the third row housed a couple.

In the couple, the girl elicited babying from the boy by acting scared, then they started flirting with each other, thoroughly immersed in their romance, giving the two single dogs in the fourth row a full meal of dog food.

“Burp.”

Luo Kai even let out a timely belch.

Just then, the roller coaster, having stopped at the highest point for about three or four seconds, roared and suddenly shot off!

In that moment, various screams sounded from the roller coaster; apart from the girls’ shrieks, there were unexpected yells from the boys as well. After a quick and thrilling rush, the ride slowed down again, entering the second loop.

The reason why roller coasters, those screaming machines, are so popular is because during the thrill, you can enjoy the pleasure brought about by the intense changes in hormones.

After the screams, the stress released, the brain becomes clear, and a cheerful mood blooms.

Thus, after several thrilling moments, the young people started laughing and joking among themselves, and even the girl who had been sulking in the first row was caught up in their mood, joining in the banter.

But her speaking up seemed to act as a pause button; the chatty young people quieted down again, their expressions unclear.

Because the girl was sitting in the front row, she didn’t have such a direct feeling.

And with the second loop of the roller coaster climbing to its peak again, everyone braced themselves for another rush, so the sudden silence seemed excusable.

The fourth row was always quiet.

So quiet that one could forget there were passengers behind them, though being outsiders, their presence was nearly invisible.

Luo Kai had perked up a bit, observing the activity in front.

The next moment, the roller coaster rushed off again!

Again, screams rang out, only this time, compared to the joyous excitement of the first, everyone’s shouts seemed somewhat distracted.

And just at that moment.

The buckle at the waist of the girl in the first row, which hadn’t been secure from the start, finally snapped open!

The girl, realizing her body had loosened, stiffened in horror, her eyes widening. But before she could react, the roller coaster took a sharp turn, and a tremendous force flung her out!

In the nick of time, the girl thrown from her seat desperately grabbed the handrail in front of her, half her body dangling outside.

In an instant, what was once exciting screams transformed into cries of fear.

The people in the back noticed the situation in the front row and started to cry out in panic, but among these voices, there was a hint of indifference.

“Save me——”

The victim’s last cry was a plea for help to her seatmate, yet the roller coaster, blazingly fast, gave her no chance for survival.

A few seconds after she was flung out, at an upwards inverted bend, she could no longer hold on with her hands and fell from the roller coaster, screaming.

Her body slammed onto the track with a heavy thud, then tumbled into the shrubs below, broken and sprawled on the ground, her bloodshot eyes fixed on the fleeting roller coaster.

Whoosh——

The track made a trembling noise as the last loop ended, and the roller coaster returned to the starting point.

But the people on the ride seemed not to have regained their senses yet, sitting pale-faced in their seats, their bodies still trembling with aftershock.

The girl sitting in the first row covered her mouth, letting out muffled, terrified sobs, finally bringing them back to reality.

The staff, faces stricken with fear, rushed over, manually unfastened the buckles for these people, then helped the frightened young passengers out of the carriage.

The two people in the fourth row were forgotten.

The non-distinct presence of the duo untied their clasp themselves, and Luo Kai walked onto the platform, gazing at the bushes not far away.

Though there were grass and trees beneath the roller coaster, they had been trimmed and did not grow tall, which allowed a clear view of the still figure lying on the ground.

Finally, from behind came the exhausted cries of a girl, followed by a boy’s angry cursing and blaming the staff.

But Luo Kai and his companion stood aside, calmly watching the drama unfold, not fitting into this world.

“See anything?” Luo Kai asked.

“You’re the director, you’re asking me?” Xu Shuo leaned on the railing, smiling at him.

“Can’t you not snub me like that, just trying to liven up the atmosphere with some conversation,” Luo Kai said unwillingly.

Of course, he had figured out the group’s modus operandi, but talking to himself about it seemed stupid, yet saying nothing felt too dull, so he had initiated the talk for some interaction.

But this guy, truly without any sense of fun.

Xu Shuo couldn’t be bothered to play quick-witted exchanges with him, simply tilting his head and asking, “How far along is the progress bar?”

Luo Kai opened the interface and checked, “Eighty percent.”

This case actually wasn’t hard to speculate.

That they hadn’t discovered the truth back then and chalked it up to an accident was entirely because there had been no third-party witness on the roller coaster, and cameras of that era hadn’t captured the actions of the passengers either.

Now, with the two players seated in the back, although their view was obstructed and they couldn’t see much, Luo Kai didn’t need to see to sense certain issues.

This was a collaborative murder!

But if it followed the pattern of a Scripted Murder Game, it meant out of the five murderers, one would be the one to deliver the fatal blow.

“The police are here.”

Xu Shuo, who had been observing the body while leaning on the railing, suddenly looked up toward the entrance of the amusement park.

The ground staff had quickly called for an ambulance and the police as soon as they noticed a guest had fallen, but while the ambulance hadn’t arrived yet, the nearby police station was already on the scene.

Luo Kai stepped forward and said, “According to the information, this case didn’t have any twists; the police deemed it an accident after a cursory investigation, with the amusement park paying for the accident compensation, and those five went unscrutinized, their statements taken and the case closed.”

And because of this incident, Mingzhu Park became shunned and avoided by visitors, gradually declining until finally bought out and redeveloped by Joy World.

Xu Shuo was non-committal, “Normal, the evidence was hidden by the five and their sole witness; finding it would be easy, Poluo took more than ninety minutes just to seek out twelve people.”

Luo Kai, “…?”

Keeping up with this person’s train of thought was tough!

He was stuck for a moment before realizing Xu Shuo had jumped to discussing a film.

This movie—a remake—had been released last year.

No, that’s not right, off-topic!

Luo Kai belatedly gave it some thought and then forcibly redirected his own train of thought, looking at the progress bar and saying, “We should be able to end once the police have finished investigating the scene.”

Of course, by ‘end’, he meant concluding the storyline before starting the battle.

After the battle, what pattern the script would ultimately take was still up to Script Space to decide.

The director’s only responsibility was extraction, not writing.

…

The scene was chaotic. Because of the incident at the roller coaster, both staff and visitors from all over Mingzhu Park had come to watch.

Through the teary storytelling of two girls, the police understood their relationships and then got to know the rough course of events.

As for Xu Shuo and Luo Kai, they were directly overlooked; the police never approached them for questioning, as if they had never been on the roller coaster at all.

Of course, Luo Kai wouldn’t foolishly step forward either.

As that could affect the progress of the script extraction.

But as Xu Shuo continued to stare at the corpse, he suddenly said, “Can we communicate with the police?”

Luo Kai, not catching on right away, responded, “Huh?”

Xu Shuo turned to look at him, his expression seemingly carrying a trace of seriousness, “I mean, can we disclose what we know as evidence to the police and apprehend these individuals?”

Luo Kai paused, then scratching his head, “You want to say, naturally you can, but what you change here won’t affect reality, after all, the ‘grandmother paradox’ is something you brought up yourself.”

Moreover, Luo Kai himself had considered changing the trajectory while extracting a script before.

But it only served to hinder the extraction progress, with no other effect.

Xu Shuo, seemingly thoughtful, nodded, “Hmm, makes sense; then let’s not say anything.”

Luo Kai, “???”

That’s it? You’re not even going to try?

This person turned face faster than flipping a book.

What Luo Kai failed to notice was that, while Xu Shuo was speaking to him, a certain police officer’s expression momentarily revealed a startle, his eyes showing confusion, but quickly returned to normal.
