My consciousness seemed to be rising slowly from the deep sea, and there was a vague sound of water in my ears, or the echo of dripping of some kind of viscous liquid.
Lin Wan opened her eyes and saw darkness.
No, not completely dark. In the upper right corner of the field of vision, there is a line of text that exudes a faint green light, like the display on an old computer screen:
[Identity loading...]
[NPC File: Xiaolian]
[Status: Maid who was mute due to poison/Blood Ancient Mansion Copy-Initial Death Node]
[Countdown to plot kill: 02:59:47]
There is also a decreasing blood-red time bar below the text.
Lin Wan tried to sit up, but felt a dull pain in the back of her head. She reached out to touch it, and what she touched with her fingertips was the cold and damp stone floor, as well as her long, messy hair. The memory stuck into my mind like broken glass - she should be dead. In the real world, while tracking down the serial killer "The Collector" who specializes in hunting profilers, she falls into a trap. The murderer chuckled in her ear and said, "Officer Lin, if you like analyzing people's hearts so much, you should stay at the crime scene forever."
Then there was a gunshot, a searing pain in his chest, and his vision was engulfed in blood.
