Infinite Murder Mystery Game: The Beauty with a Delicate Palm

Adrian's hand froze as he shuffled the cards. He was taken aback for a moment, then smiled with relief.

"Actually, I feel more admiration than anything else. I always felt... that we were not on the same path."

Adele nodded knowingly and didn't ask any more questions. Later that night, everyone got sleepy and gradually returned to their rooms.

As soon as the sun rose in the early morning, the two of them rushed to the Vibens Merchant Guild.

All sorts of things are traded here. A few sailors are sitting in a corner. Two of them exchange a glance and walk over.

"The tickets are sold out, and there won't be any more."

The man in the lead wiped the fishhook without even lifting his eyelids.

Adrian: "Is it a ticket to Taren?"

Upon hearing this, the man immediately looked up, his eyes filled with wariness and apprehension. The sailor beside him also stood up.

Why are you asking this?

Adele quickly stepped in front of him, flashing a smile.

"I'm sorry, my husband is a bit forgetful."

"Actually, we've already bought the tickets, but he's so forgetful he forgot when the ship departed. We'll ask him when we get back."

Adrian quickly pulled out a few Tarun notes from his sleeve and handed them to his boss.

Upon seeing the currency, the man immediately sat down again.

"Tomorrow at noon."

"What?!?!"

Adrian blurted out in surprise without thinking, and Adele was startled and quickly covered his mouth, then smiled apologetically at the sailors.

"Haha, I knew he was forgetful. Thanks everyone."

With that, he pulled Adrian away.

"Tomorrow at noon... it will be difficult for us to even return to the city-state to inform them of the news, let alone bring the members of the Noble Council here. How can we sign the agreement without bringing them here? Besides, tomorrow is also the day of the start of war..."

Adrian scratched his head and spoke incoherently, sounding somewhat impatient.

"Calm down, calm down."

Adele grasped his hand, her eyes filled with determination. "Adrian, we believe in Evelyn. She'll definitely be there with the council tomorrow. Trust her, okay?"

Just like Evelyn believed in her back then, when she was the only player who wasn't quarantined.

She felt both relieved and nervous. When Evelyn found her, she became somewhat anxious and insecure.

She didn't think she, as a new player, could create much value for the team, but Evelyn told her that at that time.

"Don't be nervous, Adele. You just need to keep an eye on the players in the city-state."

"I trust you."

Adrian nodded, calming down. He took a deep breath. "Then we'll do everything in our power to find Sera and the truce agreement she has."

-

When Su Mian arrived in the city-state, her body was completely unable to support her.

Four hours.

She traveled for four hours straight, the rain coming and going, sometimes heavy, sometimes light, but Su Mian was so cold she had lost all feeling.

The bumpy road and the uncomfortable horseback riding made her tailbone and inner thighs feel like they were being torn apart, but she couldn't care less.

The maid who served Su Mian was horrified to see her like this, and threatened that the priest would kill her. She paced anxiously around the dying Su Mian.

She found Philip still in the church.

"Go and gather all the players in the city-state."

Philip nodded; he was extremely efficient.

Before Su Mian had even rested for a few minutes, the group of players had already gathered at the church for morning prayers. Apart from Adrian and Adele, there were only five people left.

Duncan: "So...Serra is the killer?!"

Su Mian stood at the prayer table wrapped in a blanket, speaking with a heavy nasal tone.

"Cecily's father learned of her intention to stop the war and sent Sera to accompany her."

"The dome of the Anvil Fortress has been tampered with, making those unnatural stones look like the shadows of dead infants."

"The boulder that crashed down on Cecily may have resonated with the tampered rock due to the inherent frequency generated by the sounding of the horn, which led to this tragedy."

"With the death of the saintess, the rumors were completely confirmed, and the matter of Taren's poisoning will eventually be buried by history."

Everyone present took a deep breath, completely stunned. Bruce stared wide-eyed and murmured to himself.

"Even though... even though it's just a script, I think she's amazing."

"If we can stop this war, we will be even greater."

Su Mian stepped forward, her gaze firm and fearless. Her words placed them on a larger scale and at a higher level, instantly igniting everyone's passion.

"Ephing, what should we do?"

"Persuade the governor to go to the dock to sign the truce agreement. It would be best to set off before tomorrow, because once the war starts, there will be no more opportunities."

"But... wasn't the truce agreement taken away?"

Bruce asked in confusion, and Su Mian nodded. "So I have to hurry to the docks to find a ship to Wibbens and Taren. Sera is there, and it will take some time to bring the governor there, so only you can go."

Board the ship, find Sera, retrieve the truce agreement, and have the governor sign it, officially ending the war.

Every step must be flawless, and every step requires the players' full cooperation. All we can do now is trust each other.

Even though Duncan, who doesn't particularly like sleeping in, became serious at this moment, Bruce looked worried.

"Ephing, can you hold on?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Mian coughed violently twice. The maid quickly stepped forward and patted her back. A tear slid down the girl's face. She covered her mouth, and the blood on her palm was shocking.

Bruce stepped forward, but Su Mian waved his hand, his expression indifferent. It was precisely this overly calm demeanor that inexplicably aroused a protective instinct in people.

And this girl, who seemed to need protection, became the backbone of the team.

"Remember, you absolutely must bring the governor here. Don't worry about whether we can get a truce agreement. You have no choice but to trust him."

trust.

In this game world where everyone is suspicious of each other, this word seems so foolish and ridiculous, but at this moment, it has become the only way for all players to survive.

Su Mian turned to look at Duncan, who had once hated her. At this moment, his eyes held nothing but awe.

"If all else fails, just threaten me with force," she teased expressionlessly. "That's what you're best at."

Duncan awkwardly scratched his head, but ultimately all his words boiled down to one word: "Okay."

He watched Su Mian leave, and when he looked at that weak and petite figure, he couldn't take his eyes off her for a moment.

At that moment, when he thought of Adrian, whom he had once despised, he suddenly understood everything.

A chubby little hand was stretched out in front of him and waved.

Stop being a fangirl and get moving!

Duncan, exasperated, elbowed Bruce. "Who's swooning over you, you little dwarf?!"
