There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 376 - 330 He’s Already Invincible

The thick scent of blood spread in this corner.

Seeing the situation here, the crowd that was running for their lives nearby dared not approach any longer and instead fled even more quickly.

Luo Kun seemed to want to say something, but because his vocal cords had been severed and his throat punctured, he couldn’t say anything at all. He could only make meaningless broken sounds, which sounded exceptionally eerie.

Eventually, after struggling in vain for a while, he gradually stopped moving.

Xu Shuo watched the whole process expressionlessly, his eyes cold, staring at the dying boy like a machine, until the other’s life slowly faded away without any reaction.

"That... Xu Shuo?"

A probing voice suddenly came from behind.

Xu Shuo, still pressing down on Luo Kun, calmly turned to look and saw Cheng Can looking at him with a strange expression.

The blood that had splattered out just now covered him. The young man’s chin was still dripping with beads of blood, and half his face was splashed with blood, the vivid crimson stark against his pale skin.

But those pitch-black pupils held no emotion, empty and void to the point of chill desolation—as if under their gaze, you had nowhere to hide!

Cheng Can suddenly felt a familiar heart-pounding sensation.

In that instant, it seemed as if all the blood in his body had chilled, and a chilling cold enveloped him!

This person was very dangerous!

He felt an urge to flee the scene quickly, and his feet unconsciously took a half step backward.

But in the next moment, the youth’s cold face softened in his eyes, becoming quite tender and gentle, without a trace of aggression, and the emotions surging toward him seemed to be filled with gratitude.

"Senior, thank you for protecting me just now!" Xu Shuo said sincerely, looking at him.

"Ah? Oh…" Cheng Can blinked and came back to his senses.

The fear he had felt just now seemed more like a misperception due to his over-taut nerves.

Bai Mufei, that madman, had contributed a pool of blood, now lying dead on the ground, and his junior, who had just awakened and killed someone in seconds, was disdainfully wiping the blood that had sprayed onto his face.

It seemed nothing was amiss.

Cheng Can came back to his senses and said somewhat awkwardly, looking at the corpse: "Speaking of which, you’re really something. I traded blows with him and still couldn’t kill him."

Xu Shuo chuckled warmly, "Actually, it was because senior had worn him down quite a bit that I had the chance for a successful sneak attack. And if it were me fighting him one-on-one, I wouldn’t have been able to hold out against him for so long. Senior is truly impressive!"

Hearing the flattery from his junior, Cheng Can thought it over and felt indeed he was quite capable, and felt somewhat proud.

He struggled to suppress the corners of his mouth from turning up and asked about the previous incident, "What happened to you just now? How come you suddenly leaned there and fell asleep?"

"I’m not too clear myself. I just suddenly felt a bit drowsy and lost consciousness before I knew it." Xu Shuo frowned as he spoke, "When I came to, I found that you, Senior, were in battle, so I wanted to find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack quietly. Fortunately, it was successful."

He said this and let out a sigh of relief.

Cheng Can looked at him, not doubting the truth of these words, but was somewhat puzzled as to who was ambushing them.

Only a psychic could make someone lose consciousness silently.

Wait… Cheng Can suddenly looked at the corpse of Bai Mufei on the ground. This person had also just appeared when he found Xu Shuo, and even suggested to hand him over—could it actually have been his doing?

It seemed possible.

After all, this guy had deceived his junior before, claiming that they wanted to cooperate with the New An Bureau against their leader.

Right, they seemed to have a partnership?

Could it be an attempt to lull them with an excuse?

Lucky for him, he was astute enough never to believe a single punctuation mark of what this lunatic said!

Then, Xu Shuo asked with puzzlement, "By the way, where are Senior Yin and the others? Before I passed out, it seemed like the electronic system of this building had some malfunction, and I didn’t get a chance to look for you guys."

"They should have already left."

Cheng Can replied and recounted in detail everything that had just happened to him.

Xu Shuo nodded thoughtfully, a serious expression on his face, "Since that’s the case, let’s first meet up with the other New An Bureau members who sneaked into the press conference. It’ll be a bit safer that way."

"I was thinking the same thing," Cheng Can said. "They’ve already caused chaos over there."

```

Apart from the mission operatives, both the New An Bureau and the Paradise Bird had members who took the chance to infiltrate the press conference. When the Technology Building was locked down, there were probably still many people who had not managed to leave.

A few explosions had just occurred, which were likely intentionally set off by various parties.

Besides, there were many high-ranking officials and nobles present at the conference. They had arrived with guards to a lesser or greater extent, and those guards were now all part of the chaos.

Now that Xu Shuo was safe, Cheng Can finally had time to look for others to meet up with.

"Senior, you go scout out for some news first. I want to wash my face," Xu Shuo said earnestly, pointing towards the nearby restroom.

"Okay, we can’t use electronic signals to communicate right now, so I won’t go too far," Cheng Can agreed with a nod.

After speaking, he moved towards the dense crowd, completely not realizing he seemed to have been given orders, with his guard up all around him.

Only when Cheng Can’s figure blended into the crowd did Xu Shuo look away, glancing at Luo Kun’s body on the ground indifferently and then walking into the restroom.

Xu Shuo took off his suit, which was stained with blood, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the trash can nearby, then turned on the tap to wash the blood off his face and hair.

The cool water stimulating his pores finally made his previously pounding heart gradually calm down, and his agitated emotions returned to tranquility.

Xu Shuo had indeed woken up a long time ago.

It was even before the fight between Cheng Can and Luo Kun.

But at that time, he probably hadn’t fully regained his senses, and he took a moment to recover.

Xu Shuo had a very long dream where, in the perspective of the New An Bureau’s director, he had lived for over a thousand years. That process might have been very short in the outside world, but inside his consciousness, time felt excruciatingly long.

So much so that when Xu Shuo woke up, his thoughts had still not returned, and he even had the terrifying question, "Who am I?" for a moment.

Upon activating the Character Card, a player would obtain all of a character’s information, but the New An Bureau director’s information was really too much.

It was the first time he had lost consciousness while receiving information, which to be honest, was too dangerous.

Having known that Professor Li might be the New An Bureau director, he should have prepared for this possibility earlier. Otherwise, if he encountered a Character Card with a particularly strong personal character, he could be easily influenced if he wasn’t careful.

For example, Chen Chu was quite dangerous.

Xu Shuo silently reflected on himself and looked up at the person in the mirror.

This mirror had previously been disintegrated and shattered by Luo Kun, but after the two came to an agreement, he had Luo Kun fix the mirror on the pretext of not startling the snake.

The mirror with extraordinarily high clarity not only reflected Xu Shuo’s current appearance but also captured the image of a young man who suddenly shifted into view behind him.

"Click..."

The next second, the mirror shattered again, transforming into several sharp pyramids that flew towards Luo Kun, who had just reappeared behind Xu Shuo!

Luo Kun, having just been resurrected, hadn’t even had a chance to speak when his eyes widened in slight surprise at the sight.

The pyramids charging at him disintegrated into fine sand, but in a flash, they re-formed into pyramids, their charge unaltered in speed!

With his abilities suppressed by the building, disintegrating into sand was already Luo Kun’s limit, so the pyramids, like bullets, successfully riddled him with holes!

Xu Shuo turned to look at him, his black eyes cold and calm, yet with an explorative emotion hidden within.

He stared at Luo Kun curiously, as if observing an interesting test subject.

The strength of the New An Bureau’s director lay not only in his psychic abilities but also in his ability to replicate other people’s superpowers—except for "Precognition."

Those energy traces Xu Shuo had once detected were actually the reactions of superpowers used by the New Humans, which he could completely mimic by learning the energy patterns.

But the physical strength of Professor Li’s body could not support the power wielded by the New An Bureau director, and so using those superpowers inevitably led to side effects.

In fact, ever since resurrecting in Professor Li’s body, even that young man had started showing signs of strain.

Perhaps two hundred years later, this body would also age and die, but the most suitable one for him was still his original body.

However, his original body was still in Long Xunyin’s possession.

For the moment, Xu Shuo had no intention of helping the New An Bureau director retrieve his original body because Professor Li’s body was completely adequate for use. After all, it didn’t matter if it got damaged.

He had now obtained the coveted Character Card, so, invincible in the field!
