Background Narration:

'Taoism has five prisons, which are divided into: the Ice Prison, the Fire Pit Prison, the Heart-Cutting Prison, the Intestine Pumping Prison, and the Tongue Pulling Prison. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ’

'Whoever commits the sin of greed and injustice will go to the cold and ice.' ’

Whoever commits the sin of ** will go to the pit of fire. ’

Whoever commits perfidy will be sent to prison. ’

'Whoever commits the sin of unfilial piety shall be put to prison of the heart.' ’

'Those who do not worship demons and gods will be put in the prison of plucking out their tongues. ’

……

After this introductory text, the dark picture gradually brightened.

In front of him was a study room of twenty or thirty square meters, and the role played by the night owl was sitting on a hard-backed wooden chair in front of a mahogany desk.

On the desk in front of him are inkstones, brushes, telephones, lit lamps and other daily objects, and in the corner of the table is a medical diagnosis from XX Hospital, and there is an unsigned will next to the diagnosis.

Behind the desk is a long row of bookshelves stuffed with books, and about three or four meters to the left of the desk is a window, from which you can see that it is dark outside.

Underneath the window are two old-fashioned armchairs topped with towel blankets and a newspaper tossed on a small coffee table in the middle of the chairs.

Directly opposite the desk is an old-fashioned square TV, now in the shape of a snowflake, with a VCR in the lattice of the TV cabinet below.

A little further past the TV, on the wall to the right of the desk, there was a door to the outside, and next to the door there was a standing coat rack with a white coat and a work card that could be hung on the chest.

The décor and layout of the room in general is what it was like in the eighties and nineties of the last century.

"That's the script!"

Night Stalker had already discerned the theme and specifics of the script mode from the opening narration, and the long-lost feeling of knowing the game had returned to him.

"If it's the first time you're playing this scripted scene, it's a bit difficult."

He first chose to cut out the character panel and looked at it, and found that he was transformed into an old man named 'Zhou Chenming' by the system.

Name: Chenming Zhou.

Age: 62 years old.

Occupation: Professor of Biomedicine, the main developer of Xinyi Pharmaceutical Company's No. 1 drug.

The character panel is just a very simple information introduction, and there is not even a description of the killer's attributes and exclusive abilities.

This is actually a special setting in the script mode, removing the form of digital simulation of most games, so that players feel closer to reality to play, and the difficulty of this kind of gameplay is generally more than a little bit higher than that of ordinary script mode.

The Night Stalker checked the slaughter list again.

There are 4 black avatars on the list, indicating that there are a total of 4 people who need to be executed in this game, but their identities are currently unknown, which requires the killer to solve the identities of these 4 people himself.

……

After closing the system interface, the night owl looked at the hospital diagnosis report and the will on the desk in front of him.

On the cover of the diagnosis report, the name column reads 'Zhou Chenming', and when it is opened, the medical page inside reads 'Advanced Liver Cancer'.

The night owl reached out and picked up the diagnosis report, and a systematic explanatory text appeared in front of him.

-- The cancer in your body has spread, and you only have 3 days left to carry out your 'special plan'.

Then, a countdown appears in the upper right corner of the Night Stalker's vision, and the total amount of the countdown time is set at about three days.

"I forgot that this medical certificate is for the countdown, I should check the rest of the room before I look at this."

The night owl shook his head slightly, put down the diagnosis and picked up the will next to him.

Again, the system prompts:

-- Putting all your inheritance in the name of your adopted son is something you decided many years ago, and you know what the consequences and conflicts will be, but that's exactly what you want to see......

"Since there is this will, it can be confirmed that one of the survivors plays the identity."

Night Stalkers who have played this scene and are familiar with the scene strategy know that there are actually many clues related to the identities of the 4 unknown victims in the room of this spawn point, which tests whether the killer player can find clues and the ability to reason through these collected clues.

Then the night owl got up from his chair, walked to the sofa chair by the window, and picked up the newspaper on the coffee table.

The headline on the front page of the newspaper was large and eye-catching: "The CEO of Xinyi Group Discharges Medical Waste in Violation of Regulations to Pollution Exceeding the Standard".

"Tsk, the second target has also appeared."

The night owl flipped through the pages of the newspaper, and a report about a homicide appeared on the sub-page, with the headline of the report - "Mistress Identified as Dead in Fire, No Fire at the Scene of the Crime"

After a cursory glance at the text on the report, there was a paragraph of text that caught the attention of the night owl.

‘…… Regarding the relevant inquiries from the media, Inspector Ge Guangming, who is in charge of the case, said...... The allegation that some people killed victims is pure rumour, and it is hoped that the public will not be deceived by some religious people with other intentions...... The claim is suspected of alluding to the ...... of local religious organizations'

"Then this 'non-believer in ghosts and gods' can also be determined."

Putting down the newspaper, the night owl went back to tinkering with the old TV set that was turned on but had a snowflake-shaped screen, and after he pushed the videotape stuck on the VCR below, the snowflake screen on the TV disappeared, and the image of the person appeared on the screen.

The footage is fast-forwarded, and the characters on the screen are walking like flies, their hands are phantoms, and it is a silent silent film.

The video screen is gloomy, and a cold man dressed as a Taoist priest appears, holding a rice bowl-shaped container in his hand, and in the container are some sesame seeds-like insects, the reason why these things can be judged to be insects is because in the fast-forward playback state, you can clearly see these sesame seeds slowly wriggling.

The priest first poured water into the rice bowl, then stirred it with a stirring rod for a while, and the sesame worms disappeared as if dissolved into the water, and then the priest fed the water that had stirred the worms to a volunteer, who poured the mixed liquid down, and the priest lit a candle in front of the volunteer.

After a while, the volunteer suddenly rolled on the ground with convulsions, white steam began to emit from his body, and there were burning marks on his bare skin, and finally the Taoist priest reappeared, pouring a basin of cold water on the convulsive volunteer, and the volunteer stopped convulsing and lay on the ground without knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Next, the Taoist priest tested the sesame worm in a different way, grinding the worm into a powder and using it on the volunteers by inhalation, but this time, the step of lighting the candle was moved by the Taoist priest to the use of sesame worm dust.

"The mysterious cause of the mistress's death is now very obvious."

Because the burn marks on the volunteers' bodies in the footage are the same as the mistress burned to death printed in the newspaper, it is easy to link the two events.

The conclusion is obvious, the person who killed this mistress is the 'Zhou Chenming' played by the current night owl, and this Zhou Chenming also has a very special 'poison'.

"So, this 'poison' must be hidden in this room, right?"

The night owl's eyes lifted from the television and began to patrol the twenty or thirty square meters of room in which he was located.
