Chapter 1 Kochikoti Island
The content of this volume is adapted from the film "Dial M for Murder" directed by Hitchcock and the short story "Second-rate Detective and Cat" written by Santianliangjue (that is, me).
If there are any similarities... well, I guess you can't tell what the similarities are without me saying it.

"Hehehe... Welcome to the horror paradise..."
This was originally an opening line that players are very familiar with, but at this moment, Feng Bujue felt a strong sense of uneasiness when he heard this sentence.
Because the voice and tone of the speaker, as well as the signature "hehehe" weird laugh, all announced that the script in front of him is a devil's trap...
[Loading has been completed, and you are currently playing the single-player survival mode (nightmare). ]
[This mode provides a brief introduction to the script, and there is a chance that side/hidden tasks and special world views will appear. ]
[Script clearance reward: you can get double the basic experience bonus when you settle the reward. ]
[The script introduction is about to be played, and the game will start immediately after the playback is completed. 】
The opening CG starts immediately. The first thing that comes into Jue's eyes is the blue sky and white clouds. Then, he sees a cruise ship.
【You are a famous detective with a strange personality. 】
"Hey, hey... this word is a bit familiar." Jue, who had already sensed something unusual, dug out similar lines from his memory the moment he heard the narration, "Could the next sentence be 'one in October'..."
【One afternoon in October, you decided to go out and take a long trip. 】
As a result, the narration said the second sentence before he finished his inner complaints.
"Really, you didn't even change the words..." Feng Bujue immediately read it again, "But looking at this CG picture, the third sentence should be changed..."
He guessed correctly. After all, this is on the sea, and the next development will never become a plot of "the detective driving a rented cheap car and breaking down in the wilderness".
【You came to a small town by the sea and wandered aimlessly. 】
【That night, in the town bar, you chatted with a gentleman who loved smoking a pipe and soon became friends. 】
【People who go with the flow usually have good luck. The gentleman happened to be a captain. His "Bulldog" was staying in the port and would set off early tomorrow morning. 】
【The captain invited you on board and promised to take you to his destination for free - a small island not far from the coast of Wales. 】
【During the period, the captain will also arrange food and accommodation for you. Although the conditions are only slightly better than those of sailors, at least there is a separate room. 】
【In the end, at your insistence, the captain still symbolically charged you some fees and happily drank a glass with you. 】
【The next day, your island trip began. 】
The narration ended here, and the CG screen instantly switched to a scene at a dock.
The next second, Feng Bujue gained the ability to move.
He looked around and found that he was not far from the dock; behind him was the "Bulldog" cruise ship, and in front of him was a large billboard with a very exaggerated font on it - "Welcome to Kcochctih Island", and below the large characters, there was a small line of characters - "Here is the best tuna in Western Europe".
After confirming the location, he began to look for clues about "time".
Judging from the island's buildings, public facilities, and the clothes and handheld electronic products of passers-by, this script is obviously in the 21st century, but it is not easy to judge the specific era. After all, this is an "island town", and it is not strange that the overall living standard is ten or eight years behind that of first-tier metropolises.
[Important tips: Any items brought in from outside the script cannot be used in this script; the luggage column is locked; the skill column is locked; before leaving the script, your clothing will be temporarily changed to the style of the plot character, and your physical fitness will also be corrected to the level of real life. 】
Just as Brother Jue was making a preliminary observation of the environment, another familiar reminder sounded in his ears.
Almost at the same time as the system voice sounded, Feng Bujue looked down again. His clothes had changed into a very ordinary set of casual clothes, the kind of clothes that he would not feel out of place wearing in the real world.
He then touched his pocket and found a mobile phone, a charger that matched the mobile phone, a wallet, and a passport.
Brother Jue first picked up the mobile phone and found that it was a popular smart phone in the 21st century. Although he didn't know the password, he successfully unlocked the screen with his fingerprint.
It took about a minute for him to confirm that there was only one useful information in this mobile phone, that is, the user name of the owner was "fengbujue". In other aspects, this mobile phone was no different from when it first appeared.
Then, Brother Jue looked through the wallet again. There were several US dollars and British pounds of varying denominations in it. If calculated according to the exchange rate in the 20th century, the total value was about 2,000 RMB. Apart from the cash, the only things left in the wallet were two credit cards, and no other random cards.
As for the passport… the system had already blurred it, and the words on it were all indistinguishable to Feng Bujue, even from a data perspective. So he knew nothing about the nationality, age, passport validity period, and other information of the character he was playing.
Overall, the things he had on him were pitiful, and the sum total of them didn't have much intelligence value.
Of course, Brother Jue didn't mind this, because at this time... he already basically knew the urinary nature of this script.
"If nothing else happens...the main mission of this book should be..." Just as Feng was muttering to himself unconsciously.
The system voice suddenly sounded as if to answer his words: [The main mission has been triggered]
Brother Jue heard the sound, opened the game menu, and looked at the taskbar.
[Use thirty-three chapters to complete the script. ] This line of text, and a sub-task below it - [Check into the Alfred Hotel] appeared in Brother Jue's sight.
"Alas..." Feng Bujue sighed after reading those two lines, then looked up at the sky and said, "What is supposed to come... will come after all..."
