A7 C195 - Who is the Killer?

It was late at night, and the small convenience store on the street corner had closed long ago. Occasionally, a cold wind blew through, rustling countless fallen leaves. The streetlight cast a dim and faint glow, illuminating the crowded and narrow residential buildings. Old electrical poles were entangled and piled up in the air, resembling a black serpent winding through the endless darkness.

He Man and the others stared at the game rules that appeared on the screen, exchanging glances without uttering a word.

What was this? Were they supposed to solve a murder case?

But the game only provided a silhouette image with no information about age, gender, or height. How were they supposed to find the killer?

When Wang Dabiao got frustrated, he had a habit of running his fingers through his hair. However, when he raised his hand to do so, he only touched his bald head and became even more annoyed. He frowned and looked at Shen Zuixing, asking in an irritated tone, "Hey, haven't you already passed the rookie level? You should know who the killer is, right?"

His attitude was aggressive, even more so than the street thugs. Shen Zuixing placed his hands in his pockets, leaning against a large tree by the roadside, squinting his eyes. Although he spoke with a smile, there was an underlying sense of danger in his tone, "I suggest you keep your mouth shut."

Wang Dabiao was taken aback. "Why?"

Shen Zuixing's wrist moved slightly, and a folding knife slid out silently from his sleeve. He skillfully performed a threatening flourish with the knife, and pointedly said, "Because I don't like talking to ugly freaks. It's easy to ruin my mood. When my mood sours, I don't know what I might do."

He had a brilliant smile, but his eyes made him look like a deranged lunatic.

Seeing this, Wang Dabiao swallowed hard, feeling a mix of anger and frustration. He couldn't bring himself to say anything at that moment. It was Jiang Weimian who finally spoke up, "The tasks in the rookie level are randomly assigned. It's rare for them to repeat, so the task he did last time should be different from this one."

Shen Zuixing gave him a playful look and lowered his voice, "Tsk, you're smart, Jiang Weimian. Maybe you and I can try being long-term team...mates."

The last word was drawn out in a suggestive and seductive manner, making it sound like he wasn't saying "teammates" but something much more lewd and ambiguous. 

(TL: It could also means “Shooting Buddy”, you know, shoot hehehe XD)

Jiang Weimian had a pair of eyes that are darker than white, coupled with his cold and unfriendly appearance. When he half-closed his eyes, he appeared even more unwelcoming to strangers. He stared at Shen Zuixing's approaching face, emotionless as he said, "I suggest you keep your distance."

Shen Zuixing raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

Jiang Weimian moved his finger joints with an unsettling sound, "Because when I'm in a bad mood, I tend to hit people."

In reality, Jiang Weimian was extremely tired, but he couldn't sleep. He had just tried to recall the plot of the rookie level, but his mind drew a complete blank. He couldn't come up with any answers, and his mood worsened.

Shen Zuixing, full of curiosity, stood up straight, "You're quite interesting."

He Man and the others were all newcomers who had no idea how to play the game, so they had to rely on Shen Zuixing and Jiang Weimian. They watched as Shen Zuixing and Jiang Weimian exchanged banter, and nobody spoke for a while.
