Astral Flower-Chapter 532: Invitation
<A long distance away, somewhere far away>
"So, she was also interrogated, huh?" The person watching the entire Green Planet was looking at the screen in front of him, not feeling surprised in the slightest bit. Since those two annoying people were technically related to her, there was no surprise for them to ask her some questions.
Glue leaned back on the chair. "Good acting."
Even he would be fooled by Nan Hua’s acting. She was controlling her body’s every reaction, making sure it suited her current situation and let those who were watching her could only come to the conclusion that she had built.
It was very good.
She was really smart and manipulative.
No wonder that she was able to stand at the top in the Section 13.
"Oh well, let the others make their move for now. Anyway, those people will come soon and there will be a lot of mess." Glue chuckled and then closed his eyes to rest.
The connection with Nan Hua’s chip was closed once more.
He had no interest to follow the life of that young agent who was famous in the organization because of her deeds and so on.
...
<Nan Hua’s side>
Nan Hua’s eyes flickered slightly as she walked and see Long Qian Xing again.
He looked in her direction and then asked with a smile, "Do you still want that spar?"
"Ok."
With that, the two of them went to the arena with Long Shi Yu and Tian Lou following the two of them from behind. The two of them looked at each other with look full of confusion.
"Is it time for spar?"
"How should I know?"
The two of them were full of confusion and could only followed Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing to the arena.
The spar proceeded as usual as if nothing happened.
But after they were done with several times, Long Qian Xing asked Nan Hua to play with them all at night.
"Play?" Nan Hua asked.
"There’s a new escape game in the Virtual World. I’m sure Tian Lin would be asking you to play together and tonight should be a good time," Long Qian Xing replied.
Escape game?
Nan Hua had heard about this type of game where they had to solve a certain type of puzzle in order to be able to escape the place. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
"What’s the theme?"
"Murder."
Nan Hua: "..."
She had the faint feeling that the people from Green Planet was truly bringing up the past cases to these games. She looked at the introduction and the process before nodding in understanding.
In short, they would be put in a room where there were only 5 people inside. 1 person died and the other four were the suspects.
But the problem was, the person who died was in a closed room.
It should have been impossible for either one of them to do it because they were all located in various different areas and the person in question was located in the second floor.
In a rainy day and locked room, the other four should have no chance to come in.
Among the four people, one was the chef who claimed that he stayed in the kitchen all the time. Another one was the cleaning staff who said that he was cleaning the living room downstairs. The other one was a young child who said that he was sleeping and the last one was a teenager who said that his father didn’t let him come in and was playing on his own.
It was one family.
A father with his two children who were all staying at home.
And yet, the father was killed and the suspicion was naturally placed on the two staffs who were staying in the mansion. None of the people inside the mansion had any alibi.
"So, the purpose of this game is for us to try reaching the locked room from outside and then back to the place they claimed to be?" Nan Hua asked.
"Yes. Isn’t it interesting?" Long Qian Xing asked.
Well, it would have been interesting if not for the fact that Nan Hua was in the mansion that day.
This was her second mission after her nearly disastrous first mission. The mission was relatively easy because she only needed to stay in the mansion for one day, finish the kill and then leave with the ’mother’ who will pick her children.
It was a short mission as a ’break’ after doing an extremely difficult mission.
To be honest, back then Nan Hua felt that if she did this mission first before her real first mission, she would have been better.
But the organization trained her to do the highest ranked mission and the most difficult ones. These relatively ’easy’ missions were the break that they earned for the sake of ’resting.’
Well, the organization had their own standard for what could be called as ’rest.’
If ordinary people were told to rest like this, it was estimated that they would end up complaining because resting would be impossible.
"Is there no other escape game?" Nan Hua didn’t want to relive her past missions again. Not to mention, this was another unsolved case because there was no evidence either one of the four people in the mansion did it.
She left no evidence, so the case remained open.
But it was said that for the two staffs, they had difficulties finding job because of the suspicion on them for a period of time. Later on, things got better as the case was forgotten.
It was just that no murderer was found in the end.
Neither children looked suspicious and even if they were suspicious of them, no one ever mentioned it.
Because the two children were young.
And the law would never punish them heavily even if they were the one who did it. One of them was only 9 years old and the other one was only 13 years old.
