Chapter 441: 440. Fraud game, who is the mole_1 Chapter 441: 440. Fraud game, who is the mole_1 Qin Tiantian had pulled an all-nighter and, unable to hold on, decided to end the stream in the morning.

Had she fallen asleep during the live broadcast, it would have meant the end of her career as a virtual anchor.

She didn’t get out of bed until the afternoon, feeling sealed to her bedding, with no desire to leave her nest.

If a nest were a form of pollution, then humanity must be beyond salvation by now.

Lazily watching live streams on her phone, she noticed that by now, basically all the players had shown their faces.

Psychobro, the French policewoman, the delivery guy, and that high school student detective were one group.

The chef, the painter, and the keyboard warrior were another.

The capitalist worker ousted from the factory, a call girl from the Red Dance Hall, and a thief from the slums, along with a washed-up third-rate actor formed another.

The assassin who had lots of flowers and plants in the yard, the returning Bounty Hunter, the Underground Doctor, and a college professor who in reality played an incessantly chattering Taoist in the game were a mixed bunch.

Four groups of players had already encountered each other, formed teams, and started investigating.

According to the nature of the murder mystery game, they should each be in different factions, with different goals.

The personal profiles in the murder mystery gave each person a confirmation of their own past experiences, relationships, and usually, a distinct objective.

If there were internal spies in the script, then they’d need to conceal themselves.

If it were a factional fight, different people would have different camps to contend with.

Then there were emotional, comedic, and adorable pet scripts, all with different goals.

From the players’ conversations, it seemed that Psychobro’s group was indeed investigating a case, specifically the death of Doctor Howes.

On the Gang’s side, it was about the death of a gang member.

The capitalist worker represented the slums, and although not closely related to the core of the case, they all knew Doctor Howes and were quite shocked by his death.

The assassins had the least focus on them, but their task was quite unique, to assassinate the Godfather, Corleone Cattaneo.

The live stream was currently showing their side.

“Why are others investigating a case, and we’re tasked with murder, doesn’t that seem a bit off?”

Hitman Brother, who was a doctor in reality and had saved many lives, never imagined the script would require him to kill.

As for the means of murder, AR glasses provided hints that one just needed to meet certain conditions, whether it be poisoning, shooting, or stabbing, without actually killing anyone.

“Where’s this Godfather character?”

The role of Bounty Hunter was played by a young lady who worked as a designer at an advertising agency, joining purely as a trend follower.

“Should we get in touch with the Gang first and then find a point of entry?”

The Underground Doctor was a college graduate keen to show off, especially in front of the advertising lady.

“I just inquired, and it seems the Gang is having a banquet in two days, on the evening before the last day. We could infiltrate as waiters, then seize the opportunity to make the assassination.”

The college professor playing the Taoist, surprisingly, was the most reliable one among them.

“Good idea, should we investigate beforehand?”

The Bounty Hunter asked.

“Wait a second, there’s a problem, um, it’s a bit meta, but the other players all know us, won’t we draw suspicion if we pretend to be waiters?”

The Underground Doctor cleared his throat and said.

“But they don’t know what our real purpose is, right? Shouldn’t we also pretend to be investigating to deceive them?”

Hitman Brother suggested.

“Indeed.”

The Underground Doctor nodded.

While their task didn’t quite mesh with the main storyline, it was certainly the simplest.

“I’ve been thinking, maybe we could disguise ourselves as dolls to blend in. I just saw a walking teddy bear on the street, and it seemed quite cute.”

The Bounty Hunter lady suddenly said.

Three people looked at her.

“What are you talking about…”

Hitman Brother felt that the younger generation was really too fanciful these days.

“We can have one person stay in the kitchen, two as waiters, and we could even disguise ourselves as gang members. I overheard the name of the restaurant just now from some people there; we can go and stake it out in advance,”

the Taoist said.

The four of them discussed the plan and hit the streets.

It seemed they were in another part of the town where no other Players could be seen.

Arriving at the restaurant’s back door, the Underground Doctor glanced at that Bounty Hunter missy.

“I’ll check out the situation.”

He said and slipped into the restaurant’s kitchen.

It really seemed like they were cooking, with aromas wafting through the air, making one salivate involuntarily.

The Underground Doctor’s reason for doing this wasn’t out of mere curiosity.

In fact, he had another mission.

Doctor Howes, who had died, was his good friend, so the Underground Doctor wanted to avenge Doctor Howes; his goal was to find the murderer and kill them.

The reason he had infiltrated this place alone was that the script had mentioned Doctor Howes had been to this restaurant before his death, and he wanted to find some clues.

As he sneaked into the kitchen, he noticed some movement near the cold storage; it seemed like the gang’s heavies were moving something. Avoiding them, the Underground Doctor made his way to the entrance of the cold storage.

Then, he saw it, inside the cold storage, a body lying there with the Glass Flower blossoming upon it.

Just as he was about to scream out loud, his mouth was suddenly covered.

Looking back, it was that Taoist.

“Young man, I know your task isn’t to kill the Godfather but is related to the deceased,”

the Taoist said with a smile, seemingly well into his character, becoming a bit eccentric.

“Don’t talk nonsense, my mission has nothing to do with that Doctor Howes,”

the Underground Doctor said anxiously, trying to defend himself.

“How do you know the dead person is Doctor Howes?”

A single sentence from the Taoist stumped the Underground Doctor.

“Don’t worry, our goals don’t conflict,”

the Taoist said soothingly.

“The deceased Doctor Howes, he had a book that I want. I need to find an opportunity to investigate his clinic; we can work together.”

Upon hearing the Taoist’s words, the Underground Doctor nodded slightly.

At that moment, outside the restaurant, the Bounty Hunter and the Assassin were also communicating.

“Actually, my target isn’t to kill the Godfather but someone close to him,”

the Bounty Hunter missy said hesitantly.

“Who is it?”

The Assassin didn’t mind; after all, he figured they were in this together like grasshoppers on the same string. Even if their goals were different, they did not conflict.

“The military adviser of the gang, named Stone,”

the Bounty Hunter missy answered.

At this moment, Qin Tiantian saw a stream of question marks floating across the live chat.

[Oh boy, this is like a real game of Werewolf, each with their own agenda.]

[I thought this group was furthest from the main storyline, but it turns out they might be the most fun.]

[Bounty Hunter missy and the flower-loving Assassin, I ship this CP.]

[I have a feeling that when these four meet up with the other Players, there’s bound to be some drama.]

[Jinxi North is in total chaos!]
