Chapter 190: Instance 8

Zheng Zizhou clenched his fists, really wanting to give her two punches, but it was useless to say more now. They helped Su Mian up, but Ma Youhui suddenly lunged at Su Mian again, stabbing a needle into her neck.

Qiao Yinuo's pupils constricted. "What are you doing?!"

"Hmph... don't you want to enter the instance? I'll let you stay in the instance for the rest of your life!"

Su Mian's eyes went black, the whole world spun. She tilted her head and fell down. Huang Baien recognized that needle, it was clearly for regressors, forcing them to enter nightmares, and in the end, only death awaited them.

Seeing Ma Youhui pick up the needle to stab here, Huang Baien took two steps back.

"Run, don't get stabbed–"

As soon as the words fell, the closed door was blown shut by a gust of wind. Ma Youhui rushed toward the weakest Qiao Yinuo. At the critical moment, the closed door made a violent roar.

Following the floor trembling, the wooden door fell to the ground. That person kicked Ma Youhui straight in the abdomen, and Ma Youhui flew out.

Before she could react, the man was as fast as a residual image, and a butterfly dagger was inserted into her abdomen, and black smoke immediately emerged.

Ma Youhui screamed, her voice tearing through the eardrums, unpleasant to the extreme. Her skin turned black, her eyes turned red, and finally turned into black smoke and flew away.

Only then did the few realize that Ma Youhui wasn't a human at all, but no one knew what it was.

The few were still in shock and looked forward. The dagger in the man's hand was still dripping blood. The three saw him turn around and retreated together, but this person didn't look at them at all.

He just walked slowly to the corner, knelt on one knee, and picked up the unconscious girl, his arms tightening, her hair hanging down along his arm.

"Long time no see."

【Welcome back to Infinite Script Murder, the name of this instance is "The Terminal Station"】

【You are the murderer this round.】

【The system allows players to play freely within a controllable range and on the existing basis. In addition, clues can be hidden but cannot be destroyed.】

【Now recording the script for the player.】

A sentence was missing. Su Mian keenly perceived something. This instance was definitely not right. After all, she still remembered the needle Ma Youhui stabbed her with before she fainted.

"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."

This sentence was gone. Why?

But Su Mian didn't have time to think, the script information had already been transmitted.

【Your name is Su Mian, just graduated from university. The monitor organized a graduation trip, saying they wanted to go see the sea together.】

Real name???

Su Mian frowned, her brain a mess.

【There are eight people in this trip, the remaining seven are: the monitor, Wang Yan, your best friend and roommate, literary committee member Ruan Ruan, league branch secretary Zhou Yunfeng, sports committee member Jiang Hong, and three classmates, Lv Meng, Ye Shuheng, and Wei Xiaowei.】

【You all hate the monitor very much. She never sends messages on time, always lagging behind other classes. If there are any important competitions and opportunities, she will also embezzle them first, and then send the remaining places to the class.】

【Asking for leave is even more difficult. You remember once you had your period and asked her for leave but didn't succeed, resulting in being sent to the hospital in pain, and even later... she snatched your recommendation for graduate school.】

【So... you are prepared to kill her during this trip.】

Su Mian's heart jumped. No wonder there was no advance entry. It turned out that this time she had to kill a player.

【Task 1: Kill Wang Yan on the fourth day on the train, hide the murderer's identity, and survive until the end of the game.】

【Task 2: Pacify the ghosts making trouble in each carriage (Note! Every player has a hidden task, failure to complete will result in death on the spot!)】

【Task 3: After entering the train, please try your best to go to the voting place at the front of the train, otherwise, players who fail to reach the front of the train on the voting day will also die.】

【Warm reminder: There is a murder weapon in the suitcase, please do not open the suitcase in front of the players】

Every task was inseparable from the word death, and the

Su Mian sighed and opened her eyes.

She discovered she was dragging a suitcase, wearing a straw hat, a pair of suspender bell-bottoms, and flip-flops on her feet, looking exceptionally relaxed.

Su Mian looked up and found that all the surrounding players were dragging suitcases.

A hand hooked into her arm; it was likely her roommate, Ruan Ruan.

Su Mian calmly transferred her ID card from her bag to her hand and gripped it tightly.

"Su Mian! We get to go see the ocean! I've never seen the ocean in my life. Even though the train ride is going to take a long time, I'm still really looking forward to it. Are you looking forward to it?"

Su Mian nodded without speaking, searching for the class monitor's location.

The class monitor was walking at the very front, her phone held in her hand the entire time as she spoke to someone on the screen.

She sent a message every now and then, and occasionally one could hear mentions of experiments, mentors, and the like; it was likely about graduate school matters.

At the thought of this, a surge of anger inexplicably rose in Su Mian's heart; she knew it was the character setting at work.

The sun was scorching, making people sweat profusely, yet there wasn't a single person on the street. The group walked to the bus stop, and the sports committee member, Jiang Hong, helped them load their luggage one by one.

"That's so much boyfriend energy, classmate Jiang Hong."

Ruan Ruan teased. Jiang Hong scratched his head, his face full of shyness. Su Mian walked past him and said thank you.

A scent of green apples drifted by. He immediately turned his head, his gaze unable to pull away, but when Su Mian looked at him, he turned his head away at once.

So pretty.

Like a high school girl, not a college girl.

Jiang Hong thought.

There was no one in the bus driver's seat, but once everyone was on board, it started automatically. Su Mian sat by the window, wearing headphones and listening to music.

Pure music, the kind without lyrics.

Su Mian liked listening to it very much; it was very helpful for sleep.

Ruan Ruan sat next to her, her eyes constantly darting around, exuding a sense of relaxation as if she were truly going on a trip with her college classmates.

The league branch secretary, Zhou Yunfeng, and Wei Xiaowei seemed to be a couple in the instance, sitting together.

Just as the group fell into an awkward silence, the system's prompt sounded.

【This instance has no DM. Please complete your self-introductions before getting off the bus.】

"I'll go first."

The class monitor pushed up her glasses and finally put down her phone. She first gave everyone a slight smile. "Sorry, I've been busy with experiment project matters just now."

Zhou Yunfeng: "It's okay, Class Monitor. Being able to get into graduate school at this university is something those of us just drifting through life have envied our whole lives; it's normal to be busy."

"Yeah, unlike us mere mortals who don't even know where to work after graduation."

Ruan Ruan immediately followed up on Zhou Yunfeng's words, smiling very sweetly. The people around them also nodded, agreeing with the two's statements.

On the surface, they were admiring and adoring Wang Yan's ability, but in reality, they were considering their own subsequent interests; everyone was very calculating.

Upon hearing these words, Wang Yan didn't show much expression, but an air of superiority radiated from her entire being.
