【Welcome to Puppet Town!
You are Shu Shan'er, the owner of Yunshan Hotel in the small town. You are 24 years old this year.

The day before the incident was the town’s annual celebration, and it was also your birthday. 】

[A year ago, you ran away from home after being unhappy with your family for some reason.

On the way to play, you accidentally heard that Puppet Town can grant people's wishes.

So, you came here with six other young people who were tempted by this.

It's just that one year has passed, and the wishing puppet in the town seems to have disappeared out of thin air. You have not yet realized your wish. 】

[The dead young man’s name was Zuo Si, and he was one of the six young men.

Three days ago, he claimed to have found a way to make wishes in Puppet Town.And spread the word around the town. 】

[The morning after the carnival day in the town, Zuo Si was found dead by the river. 】

[Tip: The identity of the murderer is unknown, and every player is suspected. 】

[Duration of this copy: 72 hours (time starts from entering the copy)]

Shu Li read it carefully. Although the specific time was given this time, there was still very little information.

In particular, this time there was no motivation or timeline for taking action.

Shu Li complained silently in her heart. Perhaps she heard her words. After everyone had drawn their identities, the ethereal announcement sounded again.

[The difficulty of this copy has been upgraded, and the scoring items are [Exploration + Detective]. 】

[The percentage of exploration scenes determines how much information each player obtains about his or her own timeline.The higher the degree of exploration, the easier it is to help one hide or eliminate suspicion. 】

[You can accumulate points by finding key clues, and you can double the points by finding other people's key clues.There is no upper limit for this item, please actively explore it! 】

[The main task of the investigation item:

100. Find the real murderer of Zuo Si. ([-] points)

100. The wishing puppet has been trapped in the darkness for a long time, please help it escape! ([-] points)】

The white gauze in front of them rose up without any wind, wrapping each of the six players in layers until they lost consciousness.

Shu Li opened her eyes again and saw a luxuriously decorated classical wooden house in front of her.

The room was filled with a refreshing fragrance that I didn't know what it was, but it seemed to be very relaxing.

The mattress under me is very soft, and I can only say that I am a hotel owner, and my enjoyment is very high-end.

Shu Li turned over on the bed. There were still a few minutes before the dungeon officially started, so she simply opened her personal panel first.

The words "gleaming unlucky guy" above are shining with flowing light, and they seem to be worthy of the name.

There are a few people whose novice rewards are unlucky, and they are the shining ones...

However, in addition to this rubbish talent skill, Shuli's panel has two more buttons: Points Mall and Variety Show Housing.

There are all kinds of dazzling things in the mall. At a glance, you don’t know which one is most useful and how to use it.

The variety show housing on the other side is quite interesting.

The opening conditions above read: Provide 2000 points to start the move-in. In the later period, you must provide 1000 points for each period. After 36 periods, you can have permanent move-in rights.

Interestingly, it says that the points provided for the first time can be used on credit.It's hard not to make Shu Li think of Shu Luo, who owed 1000 points in the last dungeon and was about to be converted into an NPC.

Her fate is still fresh in Shu Li's mind. It's really hard to believe this kind of routine.

Sighing, Shu Li turned off the panel.

It is better to work hard, hard work is the only way to get rich.

The dungeon was officially opened. Shu Li rolled over from the bed and headed towards the river where Zuo Si's body was.

The layout of the town is strange.

Two horizontal streets face each other far away, sandwiching two vertical streets.

Shuli's hotel faces south and is located on the north side street.

When you go out of the hotel and turn right for a dozen meters, you will find the entrance and exit of the town.

The river in the town is on the southernmost Hengjie Street, about 200 meters away from the hotel.

Shu Li took a special look when she went out. There was a well in the hotel, so it was obviously inconvenient to use river water.

She was walking along the west vertical street on the right. She walked slowly along and saw nothing else except a very eye-catching flower shop.

There was already a small circle of people surrounding the river at the destination.

Shu Li stood outside the crowd and stood still while touching her chin.

There are more than six people here. Do friends in the small town like to watch the fun so much?
"...I sent him home yesterday..."

The intermittent whispering in her ear attracted Shuli's attention, and she quietly approached him.

"You didn't fool me, did you?"

"Tsk, I really saved him. He couldn't stand straight and wanted to go home. I carried him back." The speaker also pointed to the house not far away.

"Then how did this man die by the river now? Once this happens, drinking water will be a problem."

After hearing these two sentences, Shu Li leaned over and asked, "Boy, are you talking about lying on the ground?"

The man who claimed to have saved someone had a stern look on his face: "Hey, Boss Shu, I'm not lying. I really saved your friend."

"Hi!" Shu Li raised her hand and patted his shoulder, and said familiarly: "Brother, don't be nervous. Everyone has his or her own destiny. I can't blame you."

Hearing this, the man's expression softened a little, but he still didn't look good.

"Boss Shu, this friend of yours has always had a bad reputation. Could it be that he was harmed by others?"

The big brother's expression just said "I suspect it's you" written on his face.

"Brother, what are you talking about? The residents of our small town are famous for their simplicity, kindness and innocence. Why do you think so?"

Shu Li took a deep breath and raised her voice: "Brother, you didn't see anything, did you?"

The crowd's attention briefly moved over, and the man was stared at, feeling ashamed, shy and embarrassed, and waved his hands repeatedly to say no.

"Boss Shu, you are really unlucky. I heard that his previous debts have not been settled yet, and you lent him a lot in the past few days?"

The sound of "Boss Shu" attracted the particularly obvious gazes of the other five people. Shu Li laughed and walked forward: "As a businessman, you need to make good friends. He will be fine even if he doesn't pay back, but he can't do it with a human life. The equal sign is not.”

"No wonder Boss Shu's business is good. Look at his conduct."

"Okay, okay, everyone, don't join in the fun here."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with graying hair on his temples and an expression of gentleness in his brows.

He added: "Boss Shu, the rules of our town are not to bury people without ancestors. I also ask you to bury your friends outside the town, and keep them 800 meters apart."
