In order to prevent the director from deliberately “tormenting” them during the recording process, it was better to behave before the recording began.

Moreover, Jiang Xuyan didn’t want to start at a different starting line from his companions.

Wei Zhengrong retracted his gaze. This time, he didn’t make use of this opportunity to ask Jiang Xuyan to do a punishment mission.

He picked up the loudspeaker.

“In the last episode, the keyword is ‘scripted kill’.”

The so-called “scripted kill” was where the player chose a character and read the corresponding script of the character. After collecting clues, they would find the real murderer hidden among everyone.

It was similar to Werewolf Kill, but the process was not as fixed as the Werewolf Kill.

The seven of them exchanged glances and could tell that something was wrong from their companions’ eyes.

If it was a scripted kill, then their beautiful wish to band together would have been shattered.

“I will first announce the rules of the game. Please remember them carefully.”

At this moment, Wei Zhengrong would unconsciously speak faster.

The seven of them had been dealing with this director for a long time, so they naturally knew his habits. Thus, the communication between them ended.

“First, after entering the school gate, you must remember the character card you drew and play the role well. If you are judged to have acted out of character, you will be locked in a small black room.”

“Second, please solve the mystery of this school as soon as possible and successfully escape. However, some of you have other mission objectives.”

“Third, in certain situations, the battle royale mode may be triggered.”

After Wei Zhengrong finished reading, other than Song Qingyou and Yu Muhuai, the other five didn’t look too good.

Fortunately, the director did not continue reading. He kept them in suspense for a while before changing his tone.

“No, just these three rules. Do you have any other questions before the character selection?”

“What’s a small black room?” Shu Ling frowned and raised her hand.

Wei Zhengrong smiled mysteriously. “It’s a punishment. You won’t be able to come out until you finish the work. You will know the specific task when the time comes.”

“This episode is very important. The progress bar for solving the school’s mystery will determine the severity of your rewards and punishments.”

“Can’t you tell us the contents of the mystery?” Yu Muhuai asked. “Don’t ordinary scripted kills have a segment to introduce the background of the plot?”

“After the characters are selected, you will know the background.” Wei Zheng Rong didn’t show any mercy. “As for the rest, please act according to the situation.”

Tang Zinian raised his hand. “Well, the battle royale mode, shouldn’t it be… we will be chased, right?”

“Yes.”

Jiang Xuyan interrupted, “Then what if Qingyou beats up all the people chasing us…”

“That depends on the character that Qingyou draws, and whether it has a high combat setting.”

In everyone’s opinion, the program team obviously wouldn’t cause trouble for themselves, so Song Qingyou’s martial strength was most likely going to be sealed.

At the thought of this, the few of them lost the mood to ask questions.

“Looks like everyone has no more questions. Come, let’s pick the characters.”

Wei Zhengrong asked his assistant to bring out a box of cardboard.

The cardboard was A4 in size and was relatively thick. On the back of the cardboard was the name and logo of the All-Class Challenge.

It started with Xu Xingzhou, who was standing at the side, then Song Qingyou and Zhao Yingnan… All the way until Shu Ling, everyone took out a card.

Wei Zhengrong didn’t give them too much time to react. He directly went to the next step.

“After confirming the roles, everyone step forward and introduce themselves.”

Xu Xingzhou took the initiative to take the lead.

“I’m a new teaching assistant. I mainly assist in teaching folklore in the Chinese Department. I’m currently a postgraduate student at this vocational university-”

Everyone turned their heads to look at the school signboard. The white paper was blown by the wind.

“Isn’t this a middle school?” Jiang Xuyan complained again.

“Ahem.” Wei Zhengrong looked at him kindly.

“Sorry, Xingzhou. Please continue.” Jiang Xuyan was instantly terrified.

Xu Xingzhou paused for a moment before continuing, “The reason why I have the intention to stay in school to teach is because 1 have a crush on… Song Qingyou.”

“Wow-”

The few of them immediately exploded.

Zhao Yingnan was still peeking at Song Qingyou, looking like she wanted to see some gossip.

Shu Ling was confused. “The character card wouldn’t write ‘crush on Qingyou’ but only the character name, right?”

Xu Xingzhou quickly added: “1 just saw Qingyou’s character. The character I have a crush on happens to be her. The above is my character setting.”

Yu Muhuai was deep in thought. “The character doesn’t have a personality. Does it mean that we can freely express ourselves?”

“Isn’t that better?” Tang Zinian asked. “You don’t have to worry about being taken away by the program team.”

As the two spoke, Song Qingyou was the second to step forward.

“I’m the counselor of the Chinese department’s Class 1, the former campus beauty of a vocational university, and also the club instructor of the Mystery Club. My family background is very, very good, and my mother is the board member of this university. 1 have the intention to inherit the school.”

There was a small bracket behind the school belle on the character card, with the word “school belle” written on it, which meant that no matter who was drawn to this role, they could play it.

Jiang Xuyan sighed. “It’s the setting of a rich young lady. It feels good.”

“Is there a limit to one’s martial strength?” Tang Zinian asked with concern.

Song Qingyou generously flipped the card over and showed it to the group.

There was a line of remarks at the bottom, “This character is multi-talented, but their martial arts level is only average.”

“All, this-” Jiang Xuyan pouted. “Our plan was ruined by Director Wei.”

Song Qingyou raised her eyebrows. The character card only stated the average level, and the program team didn’t say what the average level was.

However, since she was the one who provided the script, it was better not to use violence to break through…

“The production team is a little cunning.” Zhao Yingnan was also quite disappointed.

Then she held her character card and stepped forward in Song Qingyou’s place. “I’m the new campus belle of the vocational university, and I’m also a student of the Chinese department’s Class 1.”

“I will neither accept nor reject a boy who likes me.”

“Because the president of the Mystery Club looked down upon me and attracted my attention, I joined the Mystery Club.”

After Zhao Yingnan finished her introduction, it was Jiang Xuyan’s turn.

“I’m one of the people that Yingnan doesn’t accept or reject. In order to pursue the school belle, 1 also joined the Mystery Club.”

Tang Zinian couldn’t wait to continue, “I’m also one of Sister Yingnan’s spare tires. When I saw my suitors from the same class join the Mystery Club, I joined too.”

The word “spare tire” perfectly described the words “neither accept nor reject”. The three of them looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.

Yu Muhuai continued, “I’m the president of the Mystery Club. That’s the only sentence on the character card. I think we might have to wait until we enter the school to know the specific character settings.”

Shu Ling nodded in agreement, and was the last to say, “Because I’m obsessed with supernatural events, I’m very interested in the mysteries of the school. 1 happened to hear that the Mystery Club had investigated these mysteries. When I had relevant information, I took the initiative to join the Mystery Club and became a member..”
