There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

The pianist's fingers trembled ever so slightly, the nervous fear still churning within him.

Taking advantage of the moment when the butler and lawyer in the living room had attracted the monster's attention, he carefully ascended the sticky black staircase.

His teammates were beyond saving, although he had considered taking the opportunity to kill everyone, he feared that within the next minute, he'd also be killed by the dancer.

This might be a major boss causing a script mutation!

The fiery red dancer leaned against the railing at that moment, crouching just like Xu Shuo had been earlier, watching the situation in the living room with interest.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, the dancer sharply turned her head!
Experience tales at empire

The pianist, who had just stepped onto the last stair, froze in place. His neck jerked awkwardly as he turned his head to meet the dancer's pitch-black eyes with his blood-red ones.

Cold sweat nearly soaked his back; he wasn't sure if his abilities would work on the dancer, and he dared not move at that moment.

The dancer fixed her gaze on him, her dark eyes seeming to swirl, unwittingly causing dizziness, and even fear, while a sense of inevitable breakdown crept steadily over his mind.

The thread of sanity in his consciousness was also stretched to its limit, as if the slightest touch would break it instantly.

But the pianist still glared at her defiantly, continuously gathering his spiritual power.

"You..."

Suddenly, the dancer began to speak with a smile, but in the blink of an eye, her eyes burst forth with extreme excitement and madness—"Sister!"

Sister? Sister?

The taut mind of the pianist suddenly went blank, and the next moment, the person he was staring at changed.

The face that suddenly confronted the pianist widened his eyes; the pale girl, looking as white as a corpse, grabbed his neck and began dragging him as she turned to run!

Xu Shuo pulled the pianist and dashed into the piano room, a fierce wind blasting behind them, hitting a black barrier in an instant!

Bang!

The whole building seemed to shake as the black tentacle wall Xu Shuo had put up crumbled, with the dancer's fiery red dress flitting through the cracks.

"Hahaha—Sister, you've finally decided to come out, haven't you? Come with me! Let me devour you!" The dancer's twisted, crazed laughter came from the other side.

Xu Shuo commanded the darkness in the piano room, raising several more tentacles to reinforce the defense. Although they quickly collapsed, they held out for the moment.

The pianist was thrown to the ground, coughing violently and retching, having been choked by the sudden tight grip on his neck, nearly suffocating to death.

Xu Shuo turned to look at him and said with a faint smile, "I saved you, aren't you moved?"

The pianist: "..."

He shakily lifted his head to look up. The girl wasn't tall, but her legs seemed to take up most of her height, perhaps due to the optical illusion created by her raised waistline from wearing a short skirt.

Anyway, this didn't seem like the blind girl.

Even though both appeared fragile and vulnerable.

Xu Shuo glanced at the remaining time on her Character Card and continued, "We don't have much time left. I'd advise you to treasure it."

Ending the game by eliminating all players was indeed the best method, but it seemed like the lawyer and butler downstairs could still hold on for a while.

The state of the writer, controlled by the dancer, was even more bizarre, stuck between existence and non-existence, leaving Xu Shuo uncertain of her ability to completely end her opponent under the dancer's watchful eyes.

Moreover, the duration of the Character Card was nearly up.

Despite the chaos, the pianist had ventured into the second floor, taken over by the Dark Abyss, because there had to be something he wanted.

It was either to save his own life or find a way to end the game.

At those words, the dazed pianist suddenly snapped back to attention, glanced at the red dress thrashing violently on the other side of the black tentacles, and quickly scrambled up to rush toward the grand piano in the center of the room.

Xu Shuo raised an eyebrow; oh wow, it appeared she had inadvertently stumbled into his destination?

The rooms closest to the spiral staircase were the blind girl's room and the piano room, but since the dancer had already tampered with the blind girl's room, Xu Shuo had chosen to take refuge in the piano room temporarily.

"Bang!"

Then, the tentacles blocking the door shattered and exploded in a burst of red light, the dancer's violently twisted face plainly visible from the other side!

The darkness clinging to the piano room was nearly all drawn away by Xu Shuo, weakening the strength of the tentacles. Moreover, it seemed this world was dominated by the dancer, making the resistance he could muster negligible.

"Sister, you don't smell as good in this form, but it's okay, I don't mind." The dancer gaped with a fierce grin, extending her long tongue to lick her lips.

Qiuzi's original form was that of a Necrophage, not tasty at all, and even emitted the smell of rotting Flesh and Blood when not concealed.

The fact that the dancer could stomach Xu Shuo was impressive!

Oh, it seemed she wasn't exactly normal either.

The red high heels stepped on the floor, walking silently into the piano room, the dancer reached out with a smile.

"Ding dong~"

Suddenly, a crisp piano note rang out.

The approaching dancer's body abruptly stiffened.

The pianist tested the note, making sure the piano hadn't been contaminated with strange, bizarre sounds. Taking a deep breath, he began to play rapidly.

He played a jazz variation of "Für Elise" because the original melody was too soft for this atmosphere. Afraid he'd play the wrong notes in other pieces, he stuck with this well-known piano tune that he could perform almost effortlessly, even in its variations!

The pianist's fingers forcefully pressed the keys, his passionate and exuberant emotions bursting forth, the vibrating piano sounds erupting from his fingertips, the leaping notes carrying a vivid and cheerful melody, rotating in this dark world infested with ghosts and demons!
