Everyone Else Escapes, I Solve the Case

To extend her life, Xin Zhi enters an escape game to earn points.

[Welcome to the large-scale escape game, Blessing of the Dead.]

[This instance is titled “The Gardener and the Flowers.” Please check this game's objective.]

Other players' objectives: survive until the story ends / survive for three days / obtain an item.

Xin Zhi's objective: find the killer in the story.

Xin Zhi: ?

Standing in a fairytale world with a pair of giant shears in hand, Xin Zhi gazes at the flowers in the garden and falls into deep thought.

Reality and illusion intertwine in each instance,

The dead tell of their grievances,

The true culprit is written on the page,

And those bound by obsession finally find release.

I really wanted to use “Just Like the Human World,” the title that came to mind from the start, because the cases in each instance tend to focus on human nature.

Starting with the Gardener instance may not be the best choice. The case is rather heavy and complex, but its type of crime is connected to the protagonist's background, so I insisted on putting it first.
