There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

[During a certain period, child abduction cases became frequent in a certain place, and the public security launched a special investigation team to look into the case, only to find out on their way that a fugitive serial killer was on the loose.]

[In order to chase the criminal, an intern police officer rashly disguised himself and followed the suspect on the G123 train.]

[What he didn't know was that there was more on this train than just a serial killer.]

[Perhaps every one of them had secrets.]

The above is the prologue to the plot.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

However, the name of this script sounds quite familiar.

Even this scene looks strikingly familiar.

The train is slight shaking as it moves, the carriage windows can be opened, rumbling sounds come from the tracks, and the outside scenery is a succession of rolling hills.

The sky is high and clear, with the sun shining brilliantly.

The carriage is a mix of people flow, with things carelessly piled up on the ground, appearing quite crowded.

Here we have couples with children, young students who appear to be in their late teens, well-dressed office workers in suits and shoes, elderly farmers with families in tow...

A familiar scene indeed.

Xu Shuo came back to his senses, his gaze landing on the opposite side.

He sat in the middle of the carriage, in a four-seater row, with a young woman seated by the window next to him, and across from him, a woman with two children.

Across the aisle from him was a six-seater where four young people, three men and one woman, were playing cards.

Sitting in the outer seat next to the aisle were a man and a woman, both casually observing the train, their eyes casually darting away as if they were just amusing themselves with a casual glance.

Xu Shuo calmly looked across, standing next to his seat was a girl with short hair down to her shoulders and a round face, also staring at him.

Then, the little girl slightly curved her mouth into a smile.

The plot had already begun.

The woman was still talking, "Oh, sometimes I envy you young people. You can leave your child with the grandparents when you go out, unlike me who have to bring them along and suffer."

She was talking to her seatmate.

Xu Shuo looked over at her, a gentle smile on his face as he replied, "Actually, having the child close by is quite good, so we can take care of them more easily. My love and I were worried about the child getting tired on the train, which is why we didn't bring them."

While speaking, Xu Shuo naturally wrapped his arm around the shoulder of the woman sitting next to him.

His seatmate woman: "???"

Fortunately, the young woman's surprise was only a fleeting expression in her eyes, and she caught on quickly, leaning naturally towards Xu Shuo and smiling tenderly.

At first glance, they looked like a loving couple.

In fact, the middle-aged man and the young woman were indeed pretending to be a couple, as for how much trickery was involved—Xu Shuo knew, but the other person might not have a clue.

Look at how real her acting is.

Knowing the truth, she would probably end up in tears.

Xu Shuo had not expected that he would actually enter this script for assessment, after all, it was said that the chance for a player from this world to enter a script of this world was even lower than the drop rate of Character Cards.

He had even been involved in extracting this script!

Normally, he should not have been able to come here.

Xu Shuo remembered the moment he entered the script, feeling a strange throbbing and tearing sensation in his brain, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

At this moment, the little girl opposite him offered him a Sweet Candy, her eyes pleading.

Xu Shuo didn't take it, but maintained his character's smile, "No need, uncle here has lots."

As he spoke, Xu Shuo reached into his suit pocket and pulled out a handful of Sweet Candy, stunning the little girl across from him.

Laughable, as the director, would I not know the plot?

The candy in your hand was given by me, alright!

Several people in the right-hand seats cast occasional, probing glances.

Among them, there was a police officer in disguise chasing the murderer, a bystander who had seen the little girl being abducted but chose to remain silent, and a thief who had once touched the murderer's luggage.

Xu Shuo, his expression unchanged, said, "My son and my love both like these candies, so uncle has a lot on him, don't worry, you don't need to give any back to uncle."

The little girl's hand shrank back in grievance.

Xu Shuo unwrapped a candy and fed it to the woman nestling in his arms.

The young woman who was forced to eat candy: "..."

What else could she do? Naturally, she cheerfully ate it and even had to say a thank-you and a kiss to her husband.

This person took control of the situation in less than ten seconds, either he's an NPC, or he's a big shot with an extremely impressive ability to control the scene!

Without a doubt, it should be the former.

After Xu Shuo fed her, he also ate one himself, then noticed the little girl opposite him staring at him with a grievance-filled face.

After a thought, he unwrapped another and fed it to her.

The little girl's eyes brightened as she came over, eating the candy with a satisfied expression on her face.

The woman sitting opposite scolded upon seeing this, "This damn child is nothing but trouble, always knowing only to eat, and even daring to shamelessly ask others for things!"

The little girl paid her no attention.

Xu Shuo smoothed things over with a smile: "It's fine, it's fine, I still have a lot here."

The woman just made a polite comment, then started to chat about household matters, as the journey was long and chatting seemed the only way to pass the time.

The young woman also tried to join in the conversation, and shortly after, the neighbor joined the chat as well.

It was just like what Xu Shuo had seen at the beginning.

...

This is a story about child trafficking and a serial killer.

The little girl actually isn't the woman's child; she was kidnapped by the woman and sold, eventually ending up in the hands of a middle-aged man.

The latter, however, was a serial killer with sadistic tendencies, who cut up the little girl he bought and packed her into a suitcase, then threatened the young woman to pose as husband and wife to board train No. G123.

As for how he threatened her, Xu Shuo didn't inquire deeper, Luo Kai hadn't elaborated, and he couldn't be bothered to ask.

But it's not a big issue.

Anyway, all he needed to know was who the police were.

Xu Shuo's task [Identify the pursuing police officer (submission type)].

I've never seen such an easy task.

According to Luo Kai, this script is considered a factional one, with the murderer and human trafficker playing against the other players. It's all about which faction can complete their tasks more swiftly, thereby eliminating the other faction, so in total there are only three tasks.

The human trafficker isn't a player character, and Xu Shuo's current identity is that of the middle-aged man whose throat had been slit by his own hand in the Illusory Realm, who is also the murderer—a solo faction.

The system has quite a wicked sense of humor.

The carriage is bustling with noise, and the train continues on its journey. After passing mountains and plains, a wide river comes into view outside.

The other four players don't know that they actually have only half an hour to complete their tasks. After half an hour, this train will be entering the endless Abyss.

But for now, these four are still carefully gathering information, not yet taking any action.

Xu Shuo, in fact, could eliminate the four in an instant.

But he didn't end the game that quickly.

After sitting for a while, Xu Shuo mentioned he needed to go to the restroom and stood up to walk towards the end of the carriage.

The little girl, who was eating candy without a seat nearby, saw this, blinked, said nothing, and immediately turned and scampered after him.

The end of the carriage, where the connections were, was full of the smell of smoke, the white fog swirling in the green carriage before slowly drifting out the window.

Xu Shuo turned on the water to wash his hands and, looking down, saw the little girl with shoulder-length hair standing beside him.

"Did you bring me over here?" Xu Shuo asked indifferently.

The little girl tilted her head innocently.

Xu Shuo shook the water off his hands and crouched down to look her in the eye, lightly pinching the girl's soft cheek, then moved his finger down to gently trace the child's even more delicate and fragile neck.

He spoke softly with a smile, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll break your neck later and then throw you into the fire to roast."

The little girl: "!!!"
