02. What, no one scolds me in this chapter of Mususu Biography
The screen faltered for a moment and returned to the chandelier. However, ten figures were seen lying in front of the long table below, their lives and deaths unknown.
Immediately after the screen dimmed, the copy officially started.
…
Saury rubbed his aching head and raised his head. He didn't know what the copy had done to him, which made his brain throb with pain.
"The quality of the newcomers this time is good."
A low voice sounded from the side. The saury followed the sound, and the person speaking was the young man at the top of the long table, who was also the figure who appeared at the end of the cutscene.
There is no name on his head.
Saury's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly glanced at the other people who were frowning, groaning, rubbing their heads, and standing up.
Not just myself, everyone has no name above their head. The status bar disappears.
Is the identity of the player hidden... Could it be that there are NPCs inside?
He put his doubts on the young man who seemed unaffected. After thinking for a while, he asked him: "Are you also participating in the game? Do you know anything?"
Mu Su smiled softly, pointed his finger to his head, and shook the pipe in his mouth as he spoke: "If you think about it carefully, it should have implanted all this in your mind."
The task appeared at this time very cooperatively.
[Loading task...]

[The identity of the ghost in this copy will not appear in the taskbar]
When others understood the system tasks, Saury had already read it and asked Musu again: "Can you tell us who you are?"
The pendulum of the ancient clock behind Mu Su swayed from side to side. Two bright silver armors without a trace of dust stood in the middle of the hall. The scenery outside the window seemed to be the setting sun, and through the window you could peek at a corner of the afterglow of the sky.
The dark red plush carpet with expensive fabric is mysterious and noble, making people involuntarily think that they are in a noble castle.
Mu Su took out the pipe in his mouth and his voice slowly swayed through the hall.
"I am the leader of this game, you can call me Mr. Sherlock."
What is this guy doing?
Transparent Bridge looked up and said nothing. Anyway, the other players didn't know that they were on the same team as him.
Kallen was much more understanding. After she understood that Mu Su started to get sick, she resisted the urge to get up and move closer. She held up her small and delicate chin and blinked her bright eyes.
"How about we introduce each other first. My name is Fox Fox, a resident of Mercury." A gorgeous woman with long brown hair and lipstick suddenly spoke.
Several people understood her intention instantly.
When the status bar and name are hidden, and there are NPCs among them, this seems to be the most covert way to test each other's identities.
"I'm from the Milky Way Federation, Saury." The saury wearing gold-rimmed glasses answered immediately.
"The sun ring, the mouse that everyone loves."
"Mars, Transparent Bridge."
The rest of them expressed their identities in similar ways. Even Kallen, who was ignorant and didn't quite understand, followed suit.
After speaking out of sequence, Mu Su was the only one left speechless.
Not only him, but also a middle-aged man with a hooked nose and a gloomy face next to his left said the word "Earth" and an ordinary name: Warren.
"You guys... do you want to say that you are a group of aliens? It certainly doesn't sound like the name of a normal person." In the crowd's sight, Mu Su crossed his arms and hummed softly: "London, England, Sherlock."
Are two of the eight players NPCs...
After getting this clue, Saury then asked: "Then, Mr. Leader, what is your purpose of bringing us here and forcing us to participate in this game?"
"Is that you?" The hook-nosed man suddenly stood up, and the chair behind him moved and fell over.
He looked so surly that he punched Mu Su!
Kallen stood up nervously, and the transparent bridge watched what happened. The other players were happy to see the two NPCs fighting among themselves. It seemed to them that the smaller the number of people, the better it would be for them to catch the ghost.
"Calm down."
The leader's voice sounded softly. The hook-nosed man's fist froze in mid-air as everyone watched.
A pipe stood in front of his fist.
"I think you have made some mistake." Mu Su took away his pipe, looked around and said, "Like you, I was caught here by some kind of existence."
"You call yourself the leader." The young man in striped dress stood up, his name was the same as before.
How to get an ID is really important in some games.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm sitting in the main seat." Mu Su leaned back in the chair. "I don't think you are stupid enough to think that the ghost will expose himself so easily, right?"
The hook-nosed man hesitantly picked up the chair and sat down.
"Who knows." Sardine shrugged.
The red-lipped woman named Fox Fox suddenly said: "What he said is true..."
When everyone looked at her, she added: "He is just like us."
The players understood each other tacitly. She obviously meant that she was a fellow player.
Saury narrowed his eyes slightly: "How do you know? It doesn't look like..."
"People in the live broadcast room told me that he is... uh..." Fox paused. She couldn't find an adjective to use that would be euphemistic and she could say it without angering Mu Su.
She is a live broadcast host. The number of viewers remains in the hundreds and early 1,000s. Just now, an audience member told her about Mu Su's origin, identity, and deeds.
For example, on an all-ages program, you talk about shit and piss and make dirty jokes.
"He has some mental illness..." Transparent Bridge sighed, and finally stood up to speak. "Kalian and I are his teammates."
Seeing that it was finally her turn, Kallen stood up with a chuckle, walked around several figures and stood next to Mu Su obediently.
"I need to correct this mistress." Mu Su said seriously: "I am mentally ill. Thank you."
The transparent bridge bites the silver teeth, but it can't be retorted.
Who told Mu Su to lie to him that he was a man? Now he can only reap the consequences of what he sows.
"What are you talking about?"
Before all the players could react to this shocking change, the hook-nosed man spoke coldly, his eyes as vicious as poisonous snakes.
"You guys are in the same group..."
He stood up suddenly, faced everyone cautiously and backed towards the door.
Squeak——
The sound of the heavy door being pulled echoed clearly. The hook-nosed man quickly stepped behind the door, and the sound of hurried footsteps gradually disappeared in the distance.
The players looked at each other and felt that his behavior was really sudden. Before they could react, a shrill scream suddenly came out!
Everyone present felt as if their hearts were being held tightly by a big hand, beating hard several times.
