There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 727 - 622: Keeping Promises (End of Script)
Chapter 727: Chapter 622: Keeping Promises (End of Script)
Over the next several hours,
those two attempted numerous escape methods.
However, no matter how many times they tried, they were either caught by the well-prepared Police Inspectorate or recaptured by Xu Shuo and Mr. Lei.
So it went until the break of dawn.
Mr. Lei grew tired of playing.
The two of them also grew tired of escaping.
...
In their final escape attempt, those two were ruthless, using several bombs right where they were held captive, and with thunderous explosions, the sequence commenced.
Half of the Fragrant Residence Bar was obliterated.
Thus, the group stayed in the relatively intact other half of the bar hall, silently facing the smoky ruins.
Fortunately, everyone retreated in time without continuing the chase, or there would likely have been casualties, though injuries were certain.
“Had enough fun?”
Mr. Lei said, his face lined with frustration.
Xu Shuo clicked his tongue in response.
After playing another Character Card, Xu Shuo knocked out and recaptured the two who had scattered during their escape; then he used Mysterious Medicine on them, only waking them up in time for the trial.
Indeed, the game was nearly up for him; if it continued, he would almost run out of cards as these two had too many tactics.

Consequently, when the bartender and Miss Champagne opened their eyes,
they were faced with a fully seated courtroom.
Bartender: “…”
Miss Champagne: “…”
The man behind this was indeed just toying with them, possessing the absolute power to control the situation but always feigning incompetence, making them believe there was still a chance to escape!
Detestable!
In the courtroom, Miss Champagne had already given up, adopting an attitude of resigning herself to her fate.
Without any argument, she directly admitted that the unlucky victim in the “White Horse Champagne Incident” was killed by her, motivated by hatred stemming from love after being abandoned by Mr. Lei, and in a vengeful fury, she killed the wrong person.
At this point, indeed, there wasn’t much left to perform; just to wait for the game to end.
But the bartender still wanted to argue his case.
However, the revelation that Jenny was an android completely stunned him; he had not anticipated this fact at all!
From the android’s video records, along with the details from the glass provided by the bartender himself, the evidence of his murder of five people was compiled logically, of course, the most convincing piece of evidence was the lipstick, which had survived the explosion and heat unscathed.
The bar owner also testified in court.
Yet, he spent the entire time distracted, and had it not been for his need for deduction points, he might have given up on acting the moment Jenny’s true nature was revealed.
All in all, this case came to a satisfactory close.
Mr. Lei, witnessing this drama unfold, couldn’t help but exclaim, “Do you really have to be so cruel, playing with these three poor souls back-to-back; aren’t you afraid they’ll seek revenge once they’re out?”
Xu Shuo tilted his head, “Just block them.”
Moreover, they were only level two players.
Whether they could even survive in the Script World until later was questionable; if they did, and they leveled up, Xu Shuo would level up too, likely staying ahead of them.
More importantly, in the Script World, where countless players are encountered, the chances of meeting them again were uncertain.
As time goes on, new players replace old ones; who remembers their embarrassing newbie phase?
In fact, players just pass each other by.
“Then do you think we are fated to meet?” Mr. Lei asked with a sly smile, pointing at himself.
“No,” Xu Shuo dismissed without glancing his way.
“Without fate, we wouldn’t have met,” Mr. Lei said smugly.
“Won’t happen again.”
“Wait, you promised to remove me from the list…”
Seeing Xu Shuo so heartless, Mr. Lei suddenly worried that the man might go back on his word.
After all, once they left the Script World, unless it was by accident or true destiny, the chances of their meeting were indeed slim, and even slimmer for a main mission where they weren’t antagonists, an even more rare occurrence.
After this script, Mr. Lei genuinely didn’t want a mission where he’d be up against this person; it was simply too harsh!
A failed mission was one thing, but to be played with was another!
How on earth did this guy grow so powerful?
Xu Shuo no longer responded, only giving him a meaningful, unclear smile.
“I will honor the promise.”

[The script is now concluded.]
[Entering script settlement interface shortly.]
[Mission One: Capture the mastermind behind the “Jenny Incident.” (Completed)]
[Mission Two: Find the person attempting to murder oneself. (Completed)]
[Mission Three: Prevent the discovery of Jenny being an android. (Failed)]
[Mission Four: Avoid being arrested as the murderer. (Failed)]
[Mission Five: Kill the eldest young master of the Lei Family. (Failed)]
Two independent missions, one opposing mission, one overall mission, classic 211 pattern.
And, as expected, three out of the five main missions failed.
The bar owner with the overall mission was the first player to fall. The final countdown to end the game was triggered when Xu Shuo and Mr. Lei each submitted their missions.
Then the court session ended in the last hour.
…
In the Script Space.
The moment the young man opened his eyes, he pushed the settlement panel to the side and eagerly sought out a certain chat interface.
“How did it go with the script completion?”
Qi, who was guarding him, asked with concern upon seeing him awaken, but he didn’t get a response.
Thinking he was busy with the script settlement, Qi didn’t speak again to avoid disturbing him.
The young man stared at the chat interface and tried sending a message.
However, the interface still showed that they weren’t friends, and upon checking the other person’s profile, he saw they were still blocked.
This immediately made him frown.
But soon he relaxed again, figuring the other person was probably still wrapping up the script settlement, and besides, given that guy’s character, he probably wouldn’t unblock him right away either.
The young man waited patiently for quite a while.
After he looked through the script settlement and casually browsed some forums, he felt that enough time had passed, so he opened his friend list again with hopeful anticipation.
Hey!
The friend request was accepted!
He immediately sent an emoji over.
Zuo Fang: [Hey! Buddy.jpg]
Xu Shuo: [1]
Looking at the reply from the other side, the young man clicked his tongue and shook his head, cool and distinctive, with strength, he liked that!
Zuo Fang: [Let’s do a mission together next time, we can also team up for a level three assessment, it’ll be safer!] Yellow exclamation mark.
Zuo Fang: […]
Zuo Fang: [You damned horse]
In the Script Space, the smile on the young man’s face suddenly froze.
Then, with a sardonic smile, he got up, grabbed the pillow from the sofa under Qi’s puzzled gaze—smack!
He violently threw the pillow to the floor!
The bastard had actually unblocked him only to block him again!
Honor the promise?
He seriously honored the promise!
Treating him like a monkey!
“Aaaaah—!”
Zuo Fang picked up the pillow again and began to furiously beat the sofa with it, his face twisted with rage as if he were attacking some deeply hated foe.
Qi, standing to the side: “…”
Did the kid lose in the main mission?
