There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 713 - 612: The Pinnacle of Human Aesthetics

Chapter 713: Chapter 612: The Pinnacle of Human Aesthetics

The bar owner seemed to want to make one last struggle.

He glanced at Jenny, who seemed to be able to get out from under the refrigerator, clenched his teeth, and had an unyielding look of defiance.

However, Xu Shuo raised his firearm at this moment.

“Forget it, I don’t have that much time to waste. If you won’t tell, I’ll just leave.”

“I’ll say it!”

The bar owner immediately folded.

...

He didn’t dare gamble on whether this person was just bluffing since, after all, in the office before, this man had shot people several times without warning, and natural thinking couldn’t be assumed to apply to him.

If it were true, his life would indeed be forfeit right here.

Whereas going to the Abyss Battlefield or entering the punishment game would still give him some chance to fight and stay alive.

The bar owner sighed, “First, let Jenny go.”

Xu Shuo looked at him, but no movement was made. His foot still firmly stepped on the refrigerator, pressing down on the increasingly struggling Jenny.

And, his firearm’s muzzle didn’t move away either.

Mr. Lei raised an eyebrow and said at that time, “Boss, I advise you to be sensible. In actuality, even if you didn’t want to reveal Jenny’s identity, we were almost done investigating. We’ve found the code of this woman, she’s just an android or a biotech human or something like that.”

Xu Shuo also faintly picked up the conversation, “I must say, you are really stupid, actually leaving Jenny’s information in your computer, or did you actually not discover it yourself?”

Hearing this, the bar owner’s face twitched, his blood pumping even more furiously in agitation.

Because he really hadn’t noticed…

In that moment, like accepting some fact, the bar owner’s spirit suddenly became extremely weary, his shoulders and posture sagging.

He said in a low voice, “Behind Jenny’s brain, there’s a nanomachine device, just press it.”

Xu Shuo needed to keep the refrigerator steady.

Seeing this, Mr. Lei walked over and knelt down to feel Jenny’s head. He felt around while tutting and shaking his head, which looked quite lecherous.

He felt for a long time, and just when Xu Shuo began to suspect that Mr. Lei might be intentionally copping a feel, Mr. Lei eventually found the grain-sized bump and pressed it.

Jenny, who had been struggling, suddenly stopped, a nearly imperceptible stream of data light flickered in her pupils, followed by her entire body closing her eyes and falling into slumber.

“Then hold it down for ten seconds to enter mechanical mode,” the bar owner added.

“You seem to know quite a lot, huh?”

Mr. Lei said seemingly offhandedly, locating the switch again, he pressed it and counted silently to ten, his attention tightly focused on Jenny before him.

At such a close position, if this woman made any slight move, he would be the first to receive it.

The bar owner didn’t speak.

The character information did contain a full set of “Instructions for using Jenny,” but Jenny was designed as a “social function type” android, not one specifically made for combat.

She was made to please humans.

Even if Jenny knew some combat skills, that was only because the bar owner wanted to prevent her from being dragged off by rowdy customers into an alley for unsavory activities, so he had Jenny learn by watching videos.

But combat learned on her own consisted only of rigid moves without finesse, and definitely no personal fighting style.

So when Jenny fought just now, the reason she contorted her body in all sorts of ways was that what she had learned only told her to punch forward at that moment, without instructing her there was no need to twist herself into a pretzel to do so.

Jenny: Just get the punch out.

Such a Jenny really couldn’t beat the two men before her, so the bar owner hadn’t actually made any sneaky moves.

After ten seconds.

Jenny’s eyes opened once more, and they had become lifeless and hollow.

Mr. Lei quickly moved away from her, warily on alert, but seeing Jenny’s current state, she didn’t seem to have entered a berserk mode.

“Mechanical mode engaged.”

Jenny’s voice became devoid of any emotion, and after she said this to herself, her head rotated a full 360 degrees in a terrifying fashion, scanning all three people present.

Finally, her gaze settled on the bar owner as if she had locked onto him.

“Please input instructions.”

Jenny said expressionlessly.

Seeing this, Xu Shuo jumped down from the fridge, no longer applying pressure.

But Jenny did not attempt to escape on her own either.

She simply disregarded the fridge pressing down on her as if it were invisible.

Mr. Lei clicked his tongue in amazement, “She really is an android, huh? So, she can’t be commanded when in her social butterfly mode? I think she’s more interesting like that.”

The bar owner tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, “Social butterfly… no, in human-like mode she only acts on previously set instructions; new settings can’t be uploaded.”

As he spoke, the bar owner also instructed Jenny, “Jenny, play back all the footage of your interactions with humans this month.”

Jenny, looking straightforward, said, “Acknowledged, searching historical records.”

“Wait, just show the footage related to these few individuals.”

Xu Shuo spoke up at that moment, pulling up the files of the five deceased from the terminal, along with a bartender’s information.

Otherwise, even if there was only a month’s worth of footage, watching a month’s worth of videos would be impossible—Jenny, who frequented entertainment venues daily, had encountered a vast number of humans, and he didn’t have that much time on his hands.

Seeing this, the bar owner accordingly issued the command.

About two minutes into her search, Jenny finally organized the footage related to those individuals and started playing it in six virtual windows.

Her eyes, like laser beams, projected six screens into the air, and all the footage was recorded from her first-person perspective.

And so…

The three of them watched the five sycophants’ road to death.

Enthralled by Jenny’s beauty, they courted her with drinks, gifts, luxury items, and jewelry, giving even when they had no money, offering everything they owned without a thought.

Their sycophancy knew no bounds, and it seemed as though they licked their way to a certain level of favor, like reaching a goal in a courtship game.

Then, Jenny would become intimate with them.

Five or six days of intimacy later, the sycophants perished.

Meanwhile, Jenny would start looking for her next target, continuing to accept their offerings and handing all the money and gifts to the bar owner, who became obscenely wealthy in the Midtown District in just half a month.

Mr. Lei spoke in a somber tone, “This is indeed a profitable scheme. But where did you find such a beautiful money-making machine? I remember you were almost bankrupt at the time, weren’t you?”

Because he was on the verge of bankruptcy, the bar owner let Jenny out to fish for wealthy clients, attracting patrons, using other people’s money to fill his own pockets.

This process seemed logically sound.

But how could the nearly bankrupt bar owner afford to buy an android with Jenny’s stunning beauty?

Could there be another conspiracy?

However—

The bar owner’s tone became even subtler as he said, “No, in fact, I simply made a desperate move, cashing out my assets to buy an experimental blank-slate android, the most basic human model that could be customized by the client. So, everything else about Jenny, I set up myself.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Lei’s expression paused.

Then, with a strange look in his eyes, he sized up the bar owner and then turned his attention back to Jenny’s beauty.

If this were true… then the boss’s aesthetic sense must be at the peak of humanity, otherwise, how could he have crafted such a beautifully stunning woman of the century?!
