``` Entering the world of the Scripted Murder Game isn't scary. Playing the role of the murderer is still doable. Playing the role of the victim is fine. Playing the role of a girl is manageable. Even if you have to deal with dark, strange monsters, and accidentally get tainted by them, it's no big deal. Shuo looked at the script in his hand and felt that he could still play the part! … But after adding a bunch of teammates with mental issues, he felt that he couldn't go on acting. This script is a bit off too! Shuo, "Can we not have a murderer, a victim, a girl, or psychos, and just have a normal person?" … —————— 【Non-traditional Scripted Murder Mystery Game】 【Attention: The plot will gradually shift from normal to bizarre, focusing on tasks. Each Scripted Murder Game script is original, not fan-made. Non-original scripts will be indicated.】 【Ensemble cast, with undercovers, role-playing, disguises, no female lead.】 ```
After finishing the afternoon's work, Xu Shuo took a moment to open the news.
The incident from last night had already been reported, but it hadn't caused much of a sensation; perhaps it was because the authorities were deliberately suppressing it on the trending searches, resulting in limited dissemination.
Thinking of what Pei Sheng had said at noon, Xu Shuo sent a greeting message to Xu Xi, though at this time she was probably still studying.
Just as Xu Shuo was contemplating this, a "ding dong" sounded in response to his message.
He raised an eyebrow, glanced at the reply, and then drafted a text saying, "You're still playing with your phone during self-study?" and sent it back.
After a while, as expected, there was no further reply.
…
In the Normal University Affiliated High School's study room.
Xu Xi looked at the preachy text message with a face void of expression and somewhat speechlessly stuffed her phone back into her pocket.
