There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 680

Chapter 680: Chapter 581: Level 4 Abyss Creature Chapter 680: Chapter 581: Level 4 Abyss Creature The gold and red particles diffused, shining like the sun in this dark domain.

The crazed monsters lunged at them, but the moment they collided with the light, they instantly turned to dust.

After the huge tendrils carrying the momentum of destruction dissipated, Los released his arms, and Xu Shuo’s suppressed power was restored.

His Mind Network spread out once more, yet he was completely unable to read the thoughts of the person before him, not even able to accurately detect the other’s existence.

It was as if they were not even in the same dimension.

However, considering this person was likely on the same level as Themis and even possessed sufficient strength to compete with the existence from the Star Guild,

It was no surprise that they had the power to almost crush him.

Los pushed up his glasses and, without touching on Xu Shuo’s earlier question, simply said, “The level of the monsters from the Abyss Rift doesn’t match the system’s assessment, but this might also be due to the fact that it cannot truly manifest in this world.”

Xu Shuo retracted his gaze that had been studying the man and looked down.

...

He frowned slightly.

“It’s clear to see, my perception was completely obscured just now.

In my spiritual power sensing, it was an injury that existed in this world.”

In the past, Xu Shuo had even secretly complained that the contamination from the Abyss was useless against him, not even coming close to the influence of the “God of Knowledge and Wisdom.”

But now that he thought about it,

It wasn’t truly useless.

It was just that the levels of the Abyss were too low.

Los went on to say, “The most terrifying aspect of the Abyss is Mental Contamination itself, it directly assaults one’s sanity, presenting anything that you find repellent, fearful, disgusting, or hateful, and makes it impossible for you to distinguish reality.

Sometimes, what you think is right, may not necessarily be so, like when you just now thought you could escape using Dark Stealth.”

At this point, Xu Shuo crossed his arms and said in a low voice, “No, I never thought Dark Stealth was the right move just now.”

Los hesitated for a moment: “…”

Xu Shuo continued, “If you hadn’t suddenly appeared and interrupted me, I wouldn’t have considered using Dark Stealth.”

Los asked, “Then you…”

“Stars.”

Xu Shuo said lazily, “In a way, the nature of these two things is similar, both having the form of corruption that affects the mind and spirit, so they do seem quite fitting to clash.”

——The Fifth Palace would probably come and smash your head in if they found out you’re equating them with the Abyss!

Los secretly snickered to himself but remained expressionless on the surface.

He even nodded in agreement, “The wisdom of the Stars does have a resisting effect.

However, I recall you’re not a member of the Star Guild, are you?”

As his voice trailed off, there was silence for a long while.

When Los looked up, he saw a young man with a smile that was not quite a smile on his face.

Under the reflection of the gold and red particles, that face seemed especially gentle and harmless, yet the gaze was piercing and sharp.

Los’s heart skipped a beat, and indeed, he received the other’s retort shortly after.

“Didn’t you know?”

“Know what?” Los asked calmly.

“I thought you would be well aware,” Xu Shuo said while leaning his hand against his chin and sizing up Los, “after all, Themis said you…”

He trailed off, leaving his words vague.

Los’s heart raced up and down until the name “Themis” was mentioned, and he was suddenly enlightened and regained his composure.

Although the Judgement seemed naive and easily deceived,

It was precisely because he was the Judgement.

He would definitely not reveal things that should not be said!

Xu Shuo said, “You’re said to be from the Sixth Palace, this should have some relevance to the Script Space, right?

And last time when I shared with Themis you were also nearby, so how could you possibly not know I’ve already received the mark of the Star Guild?”

Los: “…” Damn!

Did that silly* Judgement really spill everything?!

Los averted his gaze, “No, I truly didn’t know, and I’m also unaware of any sharing you’re referring to…”

Xu Shuo raised an eyebrow: “Oh really?”

His attempt to cover up was all too obvious.

Suddenly, Los also felt silly for acting this way and decisively changed the subject, “Let’s get you out of here first, there’s a big Abyss Rift around here, and that lurking Abyss Demon is still watching you.”

After finishing his sentence, without giving Xu Shuo a chance to respond, Los grabbed him, and a light encompassed them both, withdrawing and releasing in turn.

The noisy chaos of darkness vanished in an instant.

Whoosh!

By the time Xu Shuo came to his senses,

the scene before him had already changed, yet it was still the familiar urban village, and not far away was the bustling, budget-friendly marketplace.

However, Los was nowhere to be found.

The kid sure ran fast.

Of course, it wouldn’t count as a real escape unless he resigned right after.

Xu Shuo surveyed his surroundings.

The medium for the Mind Network was still there, and he could see everything clearly.

He quickly located Xu Xi’s position.

The next moment,

Xu Shuo appeared indoors.

…

…

“If there really is such a large creature underneath the ground, it’s not just Peace Street that would have to evacuate, but probably the entire Heiyu District,”

Luo Kai’s hand trembled as he lit a cigarette.

Standing beside him, Captain Zheng was somewhat surprised and said, “Is it that exaggerated?”

Luo Kai sighed, exhaled a puff of smoke, and shook his head, “What the Safety Bureau has seen until now is really just child’s play.

This is not a third-level Abyss.

If I’m not mistaken, there must be an Abyss Rift in that alley, and the level of the Abyss will continue to rise as the fissure widens.”

If the level goes any higher.

That would be a fourth-level Abyss!

Luo Kai remembered the darkness he faced during his level four assessment and felt a tinge of despair, even more so than realizing the defense line was useless—ah no, perhaps the useless defense line was still a bit more despairing.

Sitting beside him, Xu Xi caught a whiff of the drifting smoke, slightly frowned, and moved her chair a little closer to the window.

After a moment of silence, Captain Zheng recalled some intelligence provided by other players from the real world and said, “Should I start evacuating the civilians now?”

“No need for that just yet,”

Luo Kai said with the cigarette in his mouth, “Don’t create panic too soon.

That rift should still be in the spreading phase.

Let me go in and take a look first.”

Grateful, Captain Zheng nodded to him, “Mr.

Luo, thank you for the trouble.”

Just then, Xu Xi, who had been listening quietly, suddenly looked up, her eyes sparkling with surprise.

At the same moment, Luo Kai, feeling something, turned to look in her direction.

Xu Shuo’s figure appeared silently next to Xu Xi, actively waving the secondhand smoke away.

“Brother!”

Xu Xi immediately flung herself into his arms.

Then, gripping his shirt stained crimson with blood, she began checking while worriedly asking, “Are you hurt?

Is it serious?”

Xu Shuo spread his arms to let her inspect, while turning his head to say to Luo Kai, “Your guess was accurate, there is indeed an Abyss Rift there.

However, I don’t recommend you go in alone.

That thing is far more powerful than the creature we encountered at sea.”

Luo Kai was startled, “The kind that you’re completely uncertain about?”

Xu Shuo nodded.

Luo Kai readily agreed, “Alright then, I won’t go in myself!”

Captain Zheng beside him: “…”

He hesitated before speaking: “So! what! now?”

Luo Kai looked at him and said, “The Safety Bureau should have gathered quite a few players in this world.

Just send out a recruitment message, but don’t bother with players below level three.”

Captain Zheng nodded helplessly, “Alright, I’ll request assistance from headquarters right away.”

When even the most mysterious players backstage admit they’re unsure about facing the creature, the Yangcheng Safety Bureau really doesn’t dare to directly send soldiers to their deaths.

They can only pass on the message here to headquarters and let them make a decision.

After sending the message, Captain Zheng looked at Xu Shuo and tentatively asked, “Besides that, I want to ask, is there really nothing that the tower at Yuhua Dam can do?”

Ever since that tower was built,

no one at the Safety Bureau had seen it have any effect.

Xu Shuo thought for a moment then said, “You could think of it as a vitamin tablet.

Although eating it for several years might not show any apparent effect, it seems to have some effect.”

Captain Zheng: “…” What an apt metaphor.

Luo Kai took a melancholic drag on his cigarette beside them— but now, that bottle of vitamins is expired.
