There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Realizing this, Xu Shuo suddenly felt a bit less eager to know what the true function of those glasses with the map was.

No personal information about the character was provided by the Script Space this time—not even a bit!

No main tasks had been released either.

So, for the moment, Xu Shuo stuck to the character's prior arrangements and went to give a lesson to the students with the textbook, honestly and obediently.

As for whether he could teach, he had a teaching plan prepared in advance anyway, so he could just follow the teaching plan and read from it.

He had looked at the teaching plan when he searched the office earlier.

The class was "World History," a compulsory course for all departments.

He wasn't the only teacher for this class; professors from different departments taught the course too.

If a student accidentally missed this class, they could still make use of the time differences to sit in on other professors' lectures, after all, different teachers progressed through the material at different paces.

And what Professor Li had to discuss today was the history from two thousand five hundred years ago—a time when empires were not yet unified, humans were still under the ancient feudal system, and due to incessant wars and a lack of leadership, people lived in a state of confusion, consuming raw flesh and blood.

...It was truly preposterous.

Unlike the towering silver-gray skyscrapers, the History Department's buildings were quite inconspicuous within the whole school, leaning towards Huizhou architectural style, with the tallest building being no more than fifty meters.

But it took up a large expanse of land, and the teaching area was predominantly gardens, surrounded by several towering buildings, making it resemble a small valley.

The sports car stopped in front of one of the teaching buildings and as Xu Shuo got out, he saw it swing its tail and head toward the adjacent teaching area.

Xu Shuo opened the holographic map to check.

The nearby district was for Political Science.

By now, the campus paths were bustling with students hurrying along, especially some of the younger ones who quickened their pace even more upon seeing him.

Without additional settings from the player, the NPCs in the script would only act according to their previous character settings, such as—Professor Li might not have a very good temperament.

Is it because he often gets lost and arrives late, so in a fit of embarrassment and anger, he forbids other students from being late as well...

Xu Shuo inwardly ridiculed this thought as he used the map to locate the classroom for his lesson.

The vast classroom was several thousand square meters large, and even though the exterior of the teaching building had the retro charm of Huizhou architecture, once inside, it seemed no different from other buildings in this world.

The silver-gray walls shimmered with a cold luster, the tables and chairs made of an unknown material were brimming with a metallic sheen, and dark red lines spread across the floor, their purpose not immediately apparent.

Currently, there were not many students in the classroom; they hadn't filled the entire space of several thousand square meters yet.

Xu Shuo sat on the podium, checking the time and seeing there were still a few minutes left, he decided to covertly familiarize himself with the function of this podium first.

The teaching plan indicated that at a certain key point in the course, students should enter a simulation space to experience the atmosphere of the battlefield at that time. Xu Shuo pondered that this probably meant something akin to starting up the projector in a conventional class.

A few minutes later, more than half the students were seated in the classroom.

Not until the class bell rang did a melodious and beautiful sound echo throughout the school district—unhurried, steady, sweet, and appealing. It was completely different from the frantic rush of students on the campus paths.

Xu Shuo sat calmly on the podium, and the classroom, previously buzzing with noise, instantly fell silent at the sound of the bell.

After the bell stopped, the classroom doors automatically closed. Any student who hadn't clocked in was considered late or absent, with no need for the teacher to take attendance personally.

The lecture was about to start, and the students below were very tense.

But in truth, Xu Shuo was also nervous.

He hadn't even been to college, and here he was, about to teach university students as a professor.

"Today we will discuss the battle of the Kerch Strait, a battle that changed the ancient world order. Please pay attention to your textbooks," Xu Shuo said expressionlessly.

His voice wasn't loud, but after being amplified by the microphone, his clear, warm voice filled the entire classroom.

Rustling noises began filling the room as electronic screens rose from the desks, and the red lines on the floor glowed faintly.

Xu Shuo was indeed reciting the lesson plan prepared for his role, without any form of teaching interaction, so monotonous and unexciting that the students below had already started to nod off.

Wham!

Suddenly, he slammed the electronic tablet hard onto the table.

The students who had been dozing off in the classroom startled awake, feigning alertness and seriously turning their gaze towards the lectern.

"For today's lesson," Xu Shuo said in a gentle voice, "I want you to go back and write a debate paper about this war, outlining the advantages and disadvantages of both sides going to war."

"......" The students who had been dozing off.

No... What did you talk about?!

The faces of thousands of students looked at each other in bewilderment, then the red lights on several desks in the front row lit up, conspicuous.

Xu Shuo's expression remained unchanged as he randomly glanced at a nearby student, signaling him to speak up.

The student hesitated for a moment, then immediately stood up and said, "Professor Li, didn't your publicly released lesson plan include a simulation space experiment? Are we not doing that anymore?"

The professor's lesson plan was actually public...

Because Xu Shuo was not very familiar with the procedure of the simulation space, after some consideration, he decided to skip it and just dismiss the class after the lecture.

Now that the student had brought it up, he remained calm, "I noticed some issues with the lesson plan when I left, so we won't be doing the experiment today. We'll save it for the next class."

Hearing this, the student immediately showed disappointment.

Xu Shuo didn't care what he thought; right now, he was the professor, and how the class was arranged was entirely up to him. Class dismissed!

You should know to delay time, his speaking pace had already been very slow; otherwise, it wouldn't have been hypnotic.

When the entire lecture on the Kerch Strait campaign was over, just then, a pleasant bell rang outside.

The students averse to studying had already bolted out.

Xu Shuo, with his back to the students who were eager to learn, pretended to sort out his lesson plan, not glancing to the side and not planning to pay attention to those coming to him for help.

About ten minutes later, only a few students were left scattered around the spacious classroom.

At that moment, a girl with shoulder-length hair walked up to the podium and called out with a sweet voice, "Professor Li, I have a question."

Xu Shuo turned to look at her, a flicker in his eye.

"Is it about the lecture we just had?"

"It's not."

"What is it, then?"

"It's about the lecture you gave the day before yesterday, Professor Li. There's a small issue."

Xu Shuo, recalling the lesson plan records on his desk, asked, "The trade war in Crimea?"

The girl with short hair shook her head, "That's not it either."

"If you put it like that, I'm a bit unclear. Class is over now, and this classroom will be used for other courses soon. Let's go outside and talk about it," Xu Shuo said, his face showing helplessness.

"Okay, thank you," replied the short-haired girl obediently, nodding and walking out first with her electronic tablet.

Xu Shuo's gaze followed her retreating figure intently.

As she moved away, the distance indicator in the upper right corner of his field of vision, attached to the team panel, also changed values.
