Infinite Murder Mystery Game: The Beauty with a Delicate Palm

The time it took to return to the main world seemed to be longer than the previous two times. Su Mian had already spent the entire winter vacation, celebrating the New Year with her parents in her hometown.

Of course, nothing suspicious or like a horror movie plot unfolded during the grave-sweeping.

It's spring again.

People were gradually arriving at school with their suitcases, complaining about how quickly the winter break had gone by.

The old man helped Su Mian drag her luggage, while the mother and daughter linked arms behind them. Qin Zheng adjusted her old-fashioned glasses and kept looking around, seemingly speaking casually.

"Mianmian, you're already a sophomore, there are so many handsome guys at this school, why don't you try dating?"

"Oh dear, don't interfere with the child. People can talk about it whether they want to or not. It's none of your business."

Su Huaishan's voice came from the front, and Qin Zheng perked up as soon as she heard it.

"Oh, I'm being nosy. It seems like I'm the one taking care of Mianmian more, Su Daniu."

"Su Daniu" is Qin Zheng's nickname for him because he snores as loudly as a cow when he sleeps. Su Huaishan is too lazy to care and just drags his luggage downstairs to the dormitory building.

"They didn't even wait for us, honestly."

Su Mian was used to it and didn't react much to the two arguing, but Qin Zheng's eyes were glued to the male students.

"If you don't look away soon, Da Niu will get jealous."

Su Mian said softly, and Qin Zheng glared at her.

"Eat well at school, and be sure to tell me if you're feeling unwell."

Su Mian responded half-heartedly. Seeing that there was nothing else to say, the couple said goodbye and then took a taxi to the nearby airport.

They loved to travel the world, but Su Mian was the complete opposite. She was plagued by illnesses all year round, and when she went to other places, all kinds of symptoms of acclimatization would come out. Since then, Su Mian has stayed obediently in her comfort zone.

I had just dragged my luggage to the door when I suddenly heard Qiao Yinuo and a strange girl's voices coming from inside.

"You're... a new student who changed majors, right?"

"Yes! It's nice to meet you!"

The girl's voice was sweet, and Su Mian found it increasingly familiar the more she listened.

She stopped her luggage, raised her hand to knock on the door, but suddenly stopped abruptly.

"You...keep snakes?"

Qiao Yinuo's slightly shocked voice came from inside the door.

"Oh, yes, you're afraid of snakes?"

"No, no, I'm not afraid, but... another roommate of mine is."

Upon hearing this, the other girl became anxious.

"What should I do? I... maybe I should take it out, but I'm a little reluctant to do that."

The door opened with a "snap," and Su Mian outside and she inside looked at each other, holding a transparent reptile terrarium in her arms.

Inside, a small, off-white snake flicked its tongue and slowly wriggled. The moment the door opened, the entire space fell silent.

Su Mian was already covered in goosebumps, but she didn't move her feet or make any outbursts. Her slightly reddened eyes shifted from the box to the girl's face.

The moment she saw Su Mian, her smile gradually faded.

Then she took a step back, seemingly not intending to move the terrarium outside, and placed it on her desk as if nothing had happened.

"I still can't bear to part with it, but it won't bother you."

She turned around, suppressing a strong sense of disgust and deliberate expression, and spoke with a sweet smile.

"So please bear with it, classmate."

Qiao Yinuo glanced at Su Mian, then at Tian Nuan, and inexplicably felt that the atmosphere was a bit off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

But Su Mian's fear of snakes wasn't just something she made up.

During my freshman year, there was a sudden earthquake, and everyone was evacuated to the playground.

A bamboo viper crawled out of the grass at the edge of the playground, startling several girls who were nearby, who screamed in fright.

Only Su Mian stood there, and Qiao Yinuo thought she wasn't afraid of snakes.

But bamboo viper is poisonous, so she thought about it and went over to pull Su Mian away. As soon as she touched the girl, she found that she was limp and collapsed on top of her.

Qiao Yinuo was startled and found that Su Mian's forehead and palms were covered in sweat, and his eyes were misty, as if he had been so frightened that he hadn't reacted.

After a few seconds of shock, Qiao Yinuo quickly notified her counselor to take her to the school clinic. Fortunately, there was nothing seriously wrong, and the matter was over.

Seeing this scene again now, she was terrified. Her body involuntarily leaned towards Su Mian, fearing that she might suddenly faint.

Fortunately, Su Mian seemed fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief and began packing her things.

The atmosphere immediately changed after the two met, and neither of them spoke.

Su Mian walked straight to the desk and sat down. Instantly, she broke out in a cold sweat, and tears welled up in her eyes. It took her a while to calm down before her brain began to work again.

She knew very well why the girl's attitude changed drastically after seeing her, and she even caught a glimpse of hatred in her eyes.

The two had met before, during the second instance; she was the culprit in that game, Su Tang.

Su Tang, or rather Tian Nuan, committed suicide using the rules and was reborn, but her points were cleared at the same time, so she naturally hated Su Mian.

But it all happened too coincidentally. Tian Nuan was actually in the same university as him and they were even assigned to the same dormitory, which was exactly the same as the character in the game.

She bet her days ahead wouldn't be any easier, especially since she was keeping that disgusting snake.

The thought of these sleepless nights made me irritable, my fingers unconsciously clenched slightly, and my breathing changed from nasal breathing to mouth breathing.

The psychological problems seem to have gotten worse. Even though I felt much better after clearing the third dungeon, I'm now starting to manifest in my body.

She attributed everything to the snake she had just seen, shook her head to clear her mind, and decided to see Dr. Ma tomorrow.

-

"Su Mian, haven't I told you not to always anticipate how things will develop?"

"I know you love playing murder mystery games, and you can't break this habit."

Dr. Ma sighed, folded up the computer, and put it in the drawer.

"But the more you anticipate how things will develop, the more easily you become irritable. For example, you once told me that when you see someone staring at you, regardless of whether that gaze is malicious or not, you will unconsciously dislike that person."

"It's because you're imagining in your mind whether he'll come up to you and start a conversation the next second, which causes a lot of trouble."

Su Mian rested her cheek on her hand, her expression indifferent. "I don't think this is an illness. Anyone would imagine it."

"Of course I know."

Dr. Ma shook his head and stepped forward.

"But you can take the initiative. Like in the situation just now, you can openly show your disgust to make him stay away from you, or you can directly ask him what's wrong. You can't keep your emotions bottled up inside, feeling annoyed by yourself but not wanting others to notice your strangeness."

Su Mian stared at Dr. Ma, whose face was filled with worry, and remained silent for a long time before slowly lowering her eyes.
