~7 min read 1,293 words

Ma Youhui sighed, her eyes under the lenses scanning all the arbitration gods, as if looking at dead things.

Who knows what these gods look like in her eyes?

"Falling leaves return to roots..."

"Si She, the instance where you were born is just happening, giving you two choices."

"Organize the last game of your DM career, retire in your birthplace, and you will become an ordinary pet snake, living your life carefree."

"Second... well, there is no second. If you don't agree, then erase."

Si She's fists were clenched, but he remained silent. Zi Shi saw that the situation was wrong and immediately stood up to accompany him with a smile.

"God... this, is this too cruel? Si She, this kid didn't make any big mistakes..."

Ma Youhui raised her hand to interrupt him.

"You don't need to speak for him."

"The catastrophe has begun, all variables have become more dangerous, not to mention this kind of person who tries to destroy the rules."

Zi Shi lowered his head and looked at Si She deeply, but in the end, he didn't speak.

【Welcome detective to Infinite Script Murder, congratulations on upgrading from intermediate detective to senior detective.】

【Instance Name: "Mountain Village Bride"】

Su Mian opened her eyes, and 4399 went online quietly, and was caught by her.

"Why have you been so quiet recently?"

4399 wailed, 【I don't know what happened recently, more and more people are entering the instance, there are not enough people, let me go and temporarily act as an enlightenment system for those newcomers.】

【The appeals from the Script Eye side have also been endless recently. Although most of them are just compensation for points, it's not a thing to have so many every day...】

"Are there more appeals?"

Su Mian was confused, "Are there more bugs in the game? Why are there so many complaints."

4399 shook its head, 【No, most of those people came to complain that the end of the world is coming, and they still have to play games here, saying something about infection and viruses, I don't understand, anyway, just give them points...】

Su Mian frowned more and more as she listened, vaguely feeling that something was wrong. End of the world? What end of the world?

She hadn't figured it out yet, and the system's prompt sound rang again, which was to transmit the script information.

【You are the murderer of this game.】

【The murderer player will enter the game earlier than ordinary players to familiarize themselves with the crime scene and character relationships, so as to avoid exposing their identity due to mistakes in the game.】

Su Mian was already able to be calm after hearing this, for no other reason, with points in hand, even if she was really voted out, it didn't matter, she could also commit suicide and resurrect.

She observed the surrounding environment.

The cement floor of the hall was swept clean, and a red plaid coarse cloth was pressed in the middle of the eight-immortal table. She was sitting on the edge of the kang, holding scissors, cutting the "Double Happiness" character.

【Your name is Li Meili, a child who grew up in Ya Shan Village. Your mother sells tofu, and your father polishes shoes. On the other side of the mountain is another village called Xiang Shan Village.】

【A scholar came out of Xiang Shan Village, named Mao Rongjun, who went out to fight in the past few years, and after making a career, he returned home in glory. His mother and your mother often get together to play cards.】

【Calculating this way, the cards fell, the scene dispersed, and this marriage was settled.】

No one cares whether you are willing to marry a stranger. They only know that you are of age and should get married.

It happened that the one she married was a boy with excellent conditions. All the relatives around came to congratulate, and even the groom's family came.

Mao Rongjun's mother planned to stay here for a few days, and by the way, discuss the wedding.

【They are outside the door, but your "Double Happiness" character hasn't been cut yet. Cut it before going out to find them...】

Su Mian unfolded the messy things she cut, which was clearly a symmetrical "Mourning" character. Su Mian raised her eyebrows, a bit interested in how it was cut, and she understood it even more in her heart.

No wonder she was reminded to cut it again. If this was taken out to show that group of people, it would scare the groom's family away.

She looked around, threw the paper-cutting into the trash can, and was a bit dazed. No one told her how to cut the "Double Happiness" character.

There was a knock on the door.

"Girl, is the paper-cutting done? Auntie Feng is waiting to see it."

It was Li Meili's mother who spoke. Seeing that no one answered in the room, she chatted with the in-law while knocking on the door.

"Oh, I tell you, Meili has no other advantages, but her hands are very skillful. This paper-cutting will be sent to your son later, as a token of love!"

"Oh, you are also trendy, even a token of love. Xiao Mao will come back the day after tomorrow, I'm not in a hurry, I'll stay at your house for a few days first."

This really had to be cut. Su Mian originally thought it would be fine to go out empty-handed. Anyway, her skin was thick enough.

Now it's good, Li Meili's mother directly blocked her retreat. Su Mian sighed and got up to observe the room.

By reason, it shouldn't be just letting her cut a "Double Happiness" character. There might be other information in this room. That side had no movement, and Su Mian began to observe the room carpet-style.

There were a few hairy peaches on the eight-immortal table, and a red cloth was pressed under the plate. The red cloth was embroidered with mandarin ducks, but there was only one, and the other seemed to have been removed.

Su Mian observed for a while, turned to pull the wardrobe door, and the moment she pulled it open, the things inside rushed out, and Su Mian's heart jumped.

The first thing that rolled out was a portrait of the deceased. The old man's face was smiling at the ceiling, wearing a cotton-padded jacket, with both hands in front of his knees.

Secondly, there were suona, erhu, wooden fish, etc., basically confirming that they were musical instruments used only when people died.

The wardrobe was piled with a large amount of white cloth, which looked like a funeral was being held some time ago.

Why did it stop suddenly?

Su Mian guessed that it was because someone died in Li Meili's family on the eve of the big wedding day. They didn't want the groom's family to feel unlucky, so they stopped the funeral.

Just after analyzing, the system's prompt sound rang.

【Ding-dong–Murder motive updated】

【A week ago, your grandfather was celebrating his 80th birthday. After three rounds of drinking, grandfather suddenly raised his glass and toasted to an empty seat, saying: "You are here too."】

【Everyone at the table was stunned. That seat was left empty for the grandmother who had passed away for many years. That night, grandfather slept very early, as if he was drunk. The next day, only two empty wine glasses were left in the room, one dry and one wet.】

The people in the village were terrified, saying that Li Meili's grandmother had returned and taken grandfather

Mother hurriedly arranged the funeral, but you didn't believe in these things. You went into Grandfather's room and found those two wine cups.
