Chapter 25: Red Shoes (Complete)

Chapter 25: Red Shoes (Complete)

◎[Two-in-one] This is the most beautiful trump card!◎

"...What do you mean?" As soon as he spoke, Chen Jian saw the two approaching him.

The handsome young man seemed harmless enough, but the taller one had a bit too much killing intent in his eyes...

He involuntarily stepped back uneasily, his remaining words unspoken, as the two who had approached him actually moved past, stopping behind Duan Dong.

Duan Dong still maintained his crouching posture, seemingly all his attention on Qiao Mingcheng, continuously questioning his motives.

Shi Youqing patted his shoulder.

Duan Dong turned around, puzzled: "Is something wrong?"

Shi Youqing asked: "During the last blackout, did you go out?"

"Huh?" The other appeared utterly baffled, "I'm not foolish enough to walk into death."

"I see, then do you think the murderer went out during the last blackout?"

"Well... Before the blackout, I did think the murderer would act, but now it seems Qiao Mingcheng might have seen Gao Fei outside and changed his plan. In the end, he was planning to use the chaos to vote you out... Luckily, your partner intervened in time."

He spoke with a calm and reasoned demeanor.

Shi Youqing nodded: "So, you’ve concluded Qiao Mingcheng is the murderer?"

Duan Dong seemed puzzled by his question: "What else? Voting for someone already confirmed as innocent by the announcement, he's either the murderer or a madman. Do you think he’s mad?"

Shi Youqing blinked slowly and asked him, "Then what about someone who killed during the blackout and also left their cubicle in the previous blackout, all the while keeping it a secret? What would their identity be?"

Duan Dong froze, his expression subtly changing, then stood up to face him directly: "I don't understand what you mean by this."

Shi Youqing’s eyebrows lifted slightly, and at that moment, Bo Huai, standing beside him, swiftly grabbed Duan Dong's hands hanging by his side and raised them high.

"Ouch! What the hell are you doing? Let go…"

Suddenly, Duan Dong's protests stopped abruptly.

—The hands Bo Huai raised were marked with faint purple micro particles on the inside of the fingers and backs. The staining wasn't extensive, making the color inconspicuous, but now held up high under the light, it was clearly visible.

"This... This might just be makeup I accidentally rubbed off Liu Yu’s face when I moved her body... You can't seriously be targeting me based on this, right? Don’t be ridiculous!"

"Whether it's makeup or not, anyone who's not afraid of dirt can try tasting a bit," Shi Youqing, observing his gradually changing expression, spoke at his usual pace, "It's acai berry powder Bo Huai brought. It’s harmless if ingested."

"I don’t get it."

"...Wait, how did your acai berry powder end up on his hands?"

"Why are you grabbing him... Isn’t Qiao Mingcheng the murderer?"

"Let him finish speaking first."

Shi Youqing explained, "After the last blackout, Bo Huai and I didn’t return to our cubicles immediately. You might remember, I said I came in late... That's when we used the acai berry powder to mark the doorknob outside Feng Bin’s cubicle—To clarify, Bo Huai also marked it during the round Yu Xiyong was exposed, but when the lights came back on and everyone was clear, we wiped it off unnoticed to prevent others from getting stained."

"During a blackout, staying in your cubicle means you can’t possibly touch something that was put on someone else’s door handle after the lights went off, right?"

"...So, you’re saying Duan Dong left his cubicle during the last blackout and did something to Feng Bin's door?"

"Exactly."

Feng Bin then walked to his own cubicle door, glanced at it, and remarked, "There are smudges on the acai berry powder."

Chang Fangxing quickly went over to inspect, and then checked other cubicle door handles, indeed finding that only Feng Bin's door handle had those purple powdery residues...

He asked Shi Youqing, "Why didn't you apply it to all the doors?"

"We were at the final stages. If the murderer were to act, they'd likely target the three of us with the lowest suspicion. The rest, being suspects themselves, would be kept around to muddy the waters. Bo Huai and I were together in our cubicles, not the best targets for the murderer. Feng Bin was across from us, next to an empty cubicle. If I were the murderer, I'd target him... It would be ideal to mark all doors, but that might have alerted the occupants — a trap known to the murderer is useless."

“……”

Xia Shitong, who had been mostly silent, went over and compared the powder on the door handle to that on Duan Dong's hands: "Shi Youqing is right, it's all acai berry powder."

Hao Tianshuo finally understood: "Ah? So the murderer turned out to be Duan Dong?"

"Bullshit!" The typically gentle and gentlemanly man swore, "What does this prove?! Compared to Qiao Mingcheng, what kind of evidence is this? So what if I went out? Didn't you also go out to set the trap?" He started panting, "Yes, I did go out! But it was to take a risk at the last minute to see who the murderer was! I didn’t admit it earlier for fear of being suspected! Shi Youqing, what right do you have to accuse me based on this? I accept you’re not the murderer, but your words aren’t gospel!!!"

Shi Youqing just silently watched him.

Duan Dong, unable to bear his calm and composure, forcibly shook off Bo Huai's hands and retreated, yelling, "Qiao Mingcheng being the murderer is already a fact! I ask you, isn’t the act of voting for Shi Youqing evidence enough?"

Qiao Mingcheng on the floor seemed dazed, looking up at Shi Youqing.

Gao Fei’s gaze also rested on Shi Youqing, suddenly asking, "You haven’t finished explaining, what do you mean by killing during the blackout? Was Xing Ruyue killed by Duan Dong?!"

"…I don’t actually know how Xing Ruyue died," Shi Youqing spoke softly, "All I know is, Liu Yu’s death was likely at the hands of Duan Dong."

Chen Jian exclaimed, "…Wasn’t she a suicide?"

"I thought so too, but thanks to Gao Fei. During the last blackout, Gao Fei, holding Hao Tianshuo hostage, tried to get me to reach under the gap... As you saw, she had a piece of mirror, probably intending to kill me using the same method used on Liu Yu."

Gao Fei: "..."

Chen Jian still found it hard to believe: "Even if Duan Dong killed Liu Yu next door that way, slashing wrists isn’t instantly fatal. Liu Yu wouldn’t have died without calling for help!"

Shi Youqing nodded: "You're right, so Liu Yu’s death was after being attacked and then choosing to give up resistance for some reason."

"…Why? I don’t understand!!!"

"Do you remember when Liu Yu started acting strange, and what Duan Dong said when he found her body?"

"The time she acted off... you mean after Xing Ruyue was strangled? It's normal for her to be scared after seeing the body…" Chen Jian tried to recall, "As for what was said, wasn't it just about Duan Dong resembling someone she liked and promising to escape together? What's wrong with that?"

Shi Youqing just gave him a look and didn’t respond.

As Chen Jian was about to press further, Chang Fangxing nudged him from behind. Turning to snap back, he paused as if something dawned on him, his eyes widening slightly.

—That was the reason known but not to be spoken.

In this chapter, Xing Ruyue was the first person the murderer killed.

Liu Yu's compartment was always next to Duan Dong's. If Duan Dong had left during that round, Liu Yu was the most likely person to have heard or noticed something.

If that were true... then after Xing Ruyue's death, Duan Dong, with his unusual movements next door, would have been the prime suspect in Liu Yu's eyes!

But why wouldn't she say it?

For a player, voting out an NPC is part of the game's objective!

Just resembling someone she liked was too flimsy a reason…

It's easy to form attachments in dire situations, but not to the extent of foolishly covering for someone known to be an NPC...

Unless, in Liu Yu’s eyes, the NPC was the person she professed to like!

A player couldn't possibly know an NPC in the game chapter.

—What if the person she liked was a teammate who had previously died in the chapter?

Overwhelmed by his own thoughts, Chen Jian looked horrified at Duan Dong, whose expression was growing increasingly somber.

Shi Youqing circled around Qiao Mingcheng, his steps light and demeanor relaxed. Despite his frail figure, there was an instinctive allure about him:

"Qiao Mingcheng voting for me is indeed puzzling, but one thing is clear to me, the person who came out during the blackout to kill doesn’t matter if they’re mistakenly voted out and die."

Duan Dong clenched his fists, making a cracking sound: "Murder? What proof do you have that I murdered anyone? Where’s the evidence?!"

Shi Youqing, however, seemed uninterested in arguing, simply lowering his head to Qiao Mingcheng: "Next round, vote for Duan Dong. If that fails, wait a round and then vote for you. Either way, the murderer is between you two. There are enough turns; no matter who we vote for, our escape is just a matter of time."

"Don’t you dare!" Duan Dong spat bitterly, "I’ll definitely be deemed to have voted incorrectly. There’s no solid basis for this murder accusation! How can you gamble with my life? How can you—"

Shi Youqing continued, eyes still on Qiao Mingcheng: "Do you agree with my suggestion? If he’s wrong, you can't escape either."

Qiao Mingcheng gazed at him in a daze, then nodded vigorously: "I’m willing! I am willing!"

"...Delaying a round could kill another person, of course he’s willing!" Duan Dong glared at the others, his voice harsh, "Are you just going to let him do this? A wrong vote is irreversible!"

"It can be remedied," Shi Youqing took back the folding knife from Feng Bin, turning his head towards Duan Dong, "If it comes to it, you can wear the red shoes. I can’t guarantee to help you take them off if you’re wrongly voted out, but I can manage to amputate your legs immediately if needed."

"You..."

"If you’re right, and Qiao Mingcheng is the murderer, you just need to endure one round before leaving."

“……”

A long silence ensued.

Unexpectedly, Duan Dong burst into raucous laughter:

"Hahaha... Haha..."

"How ridiculous, to talk so casually about severing someone's legs!" His eyes were fiery with anger, "Gambling with someone's lifelong disability, could there be anything more ludicrous?"

He was so agitated his breathing was erratic, his voice turning shrill. He was about to continue when he saw the calm young man before him smiling.

Shi Youqing's smile was slight, his eyes slightly squinted, lips curled up. He turned towards the others with a shrug.

Gasps and applause erupted suddenly!

Before Duan Dong could grasp what was happening, the others surrounded Shi Youqing, celebrating and laughing as if in triumph...

"Ah, I thought we were really going to vote for him!" Hao Tianshuo gushed with adoration, "I always felt it wasn't convincing enough, I was kind of reluctant, but I didn’t expect your trap to be here!"

Xia Shitong joked with a laugh, "Shi Youqing, are you sure you’re not a professional scam artist?"

"Tsk, my Qingqing Bro is like a master of deceit!"

Chen Jian: "xxxxx!" (sound muted here)

Qiao Mingcheng on the floor was crying and laughing: "I... I really thought I was going to die... Thank goodness..."

Gao Fei suddenly grabbed the folding knife and charged towards Duan Dong, but was intercepted by Feng Bin: "We need to vote, don't act rashly."

Reluctantly, she gritted her teeth and stopped.

Feng Bin went over and ruffled Shi Youqing’s hair affectionately: "Well done."

The young man seemed a bit embarrassed, his ears turning pink as he took the thermos cup handed to him by Bo Huai and started to drink.

...What’s happening?

Duan Dong's face turned ashen: "What are you all doing? Why are you happy?"

As his words fell, all eyes uniformly shifted back to him.

This time, their looks were not of confusion, suspicion, or caution, but of a united front—blatant hostility!

Just as Shi Youqing had said, now was the time for reckoning.

The final NPC—the murderer—had been revealed.

In the game, disabilities acquired wouldn’t carry over to the real world. So even if Duan Dong disagreed with Shi Youqing's proposal, the reasons would only be distrust, not wanting to get hurt, or not accepting the arrangement, but never because of a lifelong disability.

This was information only players would know.

With a series of evidence and deductions leading towards Duan Dong, and as he fervently defended himself, Shi Youqing subtly used this gap in knowledge to bait the hook and catch the fish.

The acai berry powder on his hand, the conjecture about Liu Yu’s murder... those were merely the lures leading into deeper waters.

This was the most beautiful trump card!

"Speak up! What do you mean?" With a thud, Duan Dong violently punched the wooden door beside him, "...If you won’t talk, then listen to me. Next round, vote for Qiao Mingcheng! He’s the murderer! Stay away from him!"

But those gazes just steadily watched him.

"What’s gotten into you all?"

"Don’t look at me like that!!!"

"No... It shouldn’t be like this..."

"I really am not the murderer…"

"His accusations are baseless! All conjecture! I did go out last round, but I didn't do anything! Everything I said is true!"

"It’s Qiao Mingcheng!!!"

"Why are you still looking at me like that?!"

"It’s you! Shi Youqing! You’re the one spreading these false accusations!!!"

Duan Dong lunged forward to grab Shi Youqing, but before he could touch him, he was suddenly kicked to the ground with a swift kick.

"Ugh..."

Bo Huai retracted his leg, his movement as swift as catching the wind, so fast that several people didn't even see it clearly.

"We can’t let him move freely anymore!" Feng Bin promptly went over to pin Duan Dong’s arms.

Hao Tianshuo hastily handed over the carrying ties still around his neck: "Quick, tie him up! If he gets desperate, it could get ugly..."

Gao Fei also helped, her actions ruthless, and after securing him, she landed several fierce punches on Duan Dong: "You deserve it!"

"I... I’m not..." Duan Dong, dazed and still shaking his head in denial, protested, "You're all being deceived by him... you've been fooled... why are you doing this to me? Why?!"

No one paid attention to his words.

After tying him up, everyone else began to await the blackout with focus.

It seemed like everything had already ended.

……

There, Qiao Mingcheng finally staggered over to Shi Youqing: "I'm sorry..."

Shi Youqing spoke softly: "After it's over, you need to tell me why you voted for me."

Tears still glistened in the other's eyes: "Yes, I will!"

As soon as the blackout occurred, Duan Dong, securely tied up, was confined in the cubicle next to Bo Huai, while the others returned to their cubicles and locked their doors.

With one hour left to vote and no more pressure, everyone began a genuine, relaxed conversation.

Hao Tianshuo: "Qingqing Bro, last round I was held hostage by Gao Fei for a while, but a lot of what I said was true! The landline number is real too! Remember to call me after we get out, I really will treat your illness!"

Shi Youqing: "...Thank you, but my illness can't be cured."

Hao Tianshuo: "Huh?"

Bo Huai, who hadn’t spoken much, said: "It can be treated."

Hao Tianshuo: "Ah?"

Feng Bin: "What he means is, treating your illness isn’t your concern."

Hao Tianshuo chuckled: "This caregiver is questionable! Qingqing Bro, aren’t you gay? Be careful, I don’t think he’s a good person!"

Shi Youqing: "Ah? I'm not gay, I was lying to you."

Hao Tianshuo: "???"

Bo Huai: "..."

Shi Youqing continued: "And Bo Huai is a good person, don’t talk about him like that."

Bo Huai: "..."

Hao Tianshuo: "...Well, okay. Friend-zoned, I guess."

Chen Jian chuckled: "Stop pretending, I think you both seem pretty gay."

Hao Tianshuo: "Who are you calling? I'm homophobic!"

“……”

After some banter here, Duan Dong, who was still trying to seize an opportunity, seemed to finally accept reality and fell silent.

A moment later, Chang Fangxing asked him: "Did you really kill Liu Yu?"

Duan Dong remained silent.

Chang Fangxing said: "Don't hold out hope. That you are the murderer, all of us are very clear about it. The voting outcome won’t change."

"...Because of that player?" Duan Dong spoke in a hoarse voice.

The crowd falls silent again.

Players are restricted by rules against revealing their identities, but NPCs are not bound by such limitations.

"So that's it..." Duan Dong chuckled lightly, "From the first two who died and Liu Yu before her death... they all mentioned 'player'. I guessed something then, though it seemed unlikely. I tried to act like all of you... but still, I lost..."

Shi Youqing interrupted him: "Did you kill Liu Yu?"

"What if I did?" His tone casual, as if discussing the weather, "That woman was too gullible. A few sweet words and she was blindly devoted to me... The round I killed Xing Ruyue, I was very careful, but still made a little noise on my way back..."

"I suspected then that she had heard something, but after the lights came back on and she said nothing, I thought I was overthinking..."

"Guess what? She actually whispered to me!"

"She said, 'I know you’re not the murderer, but you can't go on like this. As long as we find the real murderer, the other related persons don’t need to be voted out, stop killing'... Damn it! I felt like my blood turned cold!!!"

"That woman had to die!"

"Luckily, she seemed to have really fallen for me... I asked her to reach her hand through, and she didn’t hesitate..."

"I didn't break her wrist. I just wanted to lead her to say the word 'player'... Didn’t the first two die that way?"

"She realized it?" Duan Dong’s smile deepened, "She said she didn’t want to die so disgracefully, she gave me a piece of mirror she had always kept on her."

"To think such people exist! Of course, I granted her wish... but considering our acquaintance, I at least didn’t let her die as painfully as Xing Ruyue."

"You’re a scumbag! A monster! A beast!!!" Hao Tianshuo cursed vehemently, changing his profanities.

"I won’t let you die easily," Gao Fei stated, word by word.

"Don’t let him provoke us," Chang Fangxing reminded promptly, "He’s trying to infuriate us. If we go over and hit him now, he might use it to counter-attack. His fate can’t be changed, he surely wants to take as many with him as he can. Remember our objective and ignore him."

Xia Shitong also said, "Gao Fei, the dead can't be brought back, don't act recklessly."

After a while, she responded with a muffled affirmation.

Time quickly passed, and when the lights came back on, everyone was silent but made the same action—they voted for Duan Dong.

An announcement sounds:

"Wow! Incredible job, congratulations on successfully finding the murderer. Duan Dong is the one who killed Yu Jiayue! The exit is now open, and you can leave through the top pipes in the cubicles!"

As the broadcast ended, the floating interface in front of Shi Youqing changed.

[White World Chapter: The Red Shoes in the Restroom]

[Game Progress: 100%]

[Chapter Background Story: View?]

He clicked "View."

Immediately, a series of images flashed before his eyes like a carousel.

At the annual meeting, Zhu Chenghai glared at a spirited young girl not far away.

Someone nearby said, “Heard Yu Jiayue just landed another big deal. That position you’ve been eyeing, looks like it’ll go to the young lady now…”

Gritting his teeth, he muttered, "Just a young girl, what skills could she have? Look at that face, you can guess how she got those deals…"

The scene shifted, showing months later, the girl besieged by rumors, resigning despite clearing her name, unable to bear the stares.

Life seemed to settle down after joining a new company.

A sudden confession from her director caught her off-guard; she pushed through the teasing colleagues and publicly rejected him…

The scenes sped up, shifting to a month later.

At a dinner, the girl was pressured to drink by a client, the director turning a blind eye but sneakily capturing a blurry image of her thigh being touched…

A photo led to rampant rumors and speculative exposes... The married boss, who kept a mistress, chose silence when his wife confronted him about Yu Jiayue, causing the wife to storm into the office and insult the girl, regardless of her explanations…

The girl called the police, but on that day, her neighbor Ren Tianyu, who spied on her, leaked her address online…

Waiting for justice, she resigned to go hiking and clear her mind.

It was her birthday, wearing the red sports shoes her mother had sent.

It was also on this day that her obsessive ex-boyfriend Duan Dong, following the leaked address, found her.

They argued on the mountain, and ultimately, it was the girl lying in a pool of blood…

Her body was moved to a nearby abandoned public restroom, and only after dark, when no one was around, did Duan Dong move the body again…

A blood-stained sports shoe was left behind in the restroom cubicle.

The scenes began to flicker.

The discovery of the body caused a local stir, online exposes began to reverse and clarify…

One day, Yu Xiyong, who accidentally found the red shoe with the murderer’s fingerprints, thought of extorting the murderer for money due to several debt collection calls…

Soon after, the two made contact and agreed to exchange the money and the shoe at a certain location…

The flashback abruptly ended.

…………

Shi Youqing clenched his fists, looking towards Duan Dong’s cubicle.

Unlike previous eliminations, the broadcast didn’t ask to choose between punishment or elimination.

When that door opened, the room fell into sudden silence.

Duan Dong was dead.

His body was nearly pierced into a sieve by a mechanism behind him, bleeding from every orifice, his chest, where the heart was, almost a hollow round hole…

The electronic screen, previously filled with the voting page, lit up again, and this time, the figure on it turned around.

Soft gasps came from the others.

...On the screen was a girl’s face, identical to Yu Jiayue from the system's images!

She said: "The game is cleared. I am Yu Jiamei, the victim’s twin sister. After our parents divorced, I lived with our mother, and my sister with our father. Since my sister went underground, it’s only right for father to go down and continue looking after her." She smiled eerily, then stood up and waved, "Goodbye to you all!"

The electronic screen then faded to black.

The system's voice promptly echoed in their ears: "The exit is now open. You have thirty minutes before the exit closes. Please, players, leave as quickly as possible, leave as quickly as possible—"

Chang Fangxing and a few others were swift, already returning to their cubicles to climb through the pipes.

As the exit appeared and rules were lifted, Shi Youqing was about to look for Qiao Mingcheng when Gao Fei approached him first.

"Xing Ruyue told me before she died that you looked familiar. I grew up with her, and I know everyone she knew. The only time we were separated was when she entered a chapter alone... but in that chapter, she was the only survivor."

"So, I thought you were an NPC, but you didn't have any flaws. I couldn't persuade other players to vote against you, so I had to..."

She paused, her voice trailing off with an apology.

After Gao Fei left, Shi Youqing glanced at Bo Huai beside him, expecting at least a question. However, Bo Huai seemed unsurprised by the revelations, focused entirely on packing his backpack...

Qiao Mingcheng, who had just finished viewing the chapter's background story, suddenly jolted and hurriedly approached, calling out, "Shi... Shi Youqing!"

Shi Youqing asked, "You've seen me before?"

Qiao Mingcheng appeared dumbfounded: "...How did you know?"

It was merely a guess.

He couldn't understand why Qiao Mingcheng would vote against him if Duan Dong was the murderer.

It was only after Gao Fei's words that he belatedly recalled something – after his severe illness, he frequently experienced nightmares.

In the first chapter, he told Feng Bin he often had horror dreams like this scenario, but without the system, and always woke up regardless of life or death... He never considered those could be real.

If those were real, his reckless behavior in the dreams meant he might meet those players again.

Gao Fei and others associating him with an NPC in this chapter seemed plausible now...

"I don't even know how to explain," Qiao Mingcheng cautiously studied his face, "At first, I just found you familiar... but the longer I spent with you, the more your appearance seemed to overlap with that player who died in the dark world in my memory... But I couldn't say it out loud; revealing a player's identity would be dangerous..."

"I'm really sorry, I wasn't targeting you. I genuinely thought you were an NPC... I thought you were in cahoots with the person in the broadcast, deceiving us. I was too scared then..."

Shi Youqing was taken aback, focusing on something else: "Are you saying, players who die in a chapter can become NPCs?"

"I don't know, I just felt that someone already dead shouldn't be a player... But I was too nervous and forgot that identical people exist in this world... Sorry, I almost caused you harm."

The glimmer of hope in Shi Youqing’s eyes extinguished.

Qiao Mingcheng didn’t waste any more time, bowing quickly before hurrying back to his cubicle to climb his own pipe.

Feng Bin approached from the opposite side, patting Shi Youqing's shoulder and said, “As we progress, we'll encounter more players, and veteran players have more comprehensive information. Most here haven't been through many chapters and may not be fully aware of certain things. As for the clues about your mother... we'll definitely find them.”

Shi Youqing hummed in acknowledgment, about to turn away when something came to mind, “I remember you mentioning that players who don’t die but can’t leave might become NPCs... Do they undergo major personality changes when they become NPCs?”

“I don’t think so,” Feng Bin replied, “Their actions might be manipulated, like issuing tasks to players, but their personality and habits likely remain unchanged. Otherwise, they’re just an empty shell, no different from being dead, right?”

“Oh…”

“I know what you’re thinking,” Feng Bin's tone became serious, “Liu Yu clearly mistook Duan Dong for her departed companion. I’m not sure if deceased players become NPCs, but I believe what makes us human is our distinct souls, not just our physical bodies. The companion she was willing to protect with her life would never be such a scoundrel!”

“I’m sure if she had lived to see the end, she wouldn’t have acknowledged Duan Dong as the person she liked.”

“Alright, let's go.”

Shi Youqing nodded.

Feng Bin turned back to his cubicle.

Pushing the door open and about to step onto the toilet, Shi Youqing was suddenly lifted from behind by Bo Huai who appeared unexpectedly!

Caught off guard with a shout, Shi Youqing was lifted into the faintly glowing pipe and gently set down.

“Thank you…” He couldn’t turn his head to see, murmuring softly.

Bo Huai’s hands slowly left his waist.

Before him, a chessboard appeared.

Seven white chess pieces in total.

Listening to the murmurs in the surrounding pipes, it seemed that other players had their own exits with white chess pieces too, but in varying numbers.

Mostly one to four pieces.

His had the most.

Shi Youqing’s brows lifted slightly, clutching the white chess pieces in his palm, and began crawling towards the light…
