There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 685

Chapter 685: Chapter 586: Xu Shuo: There’s No Need Chapter 685: Chapter 586: Xu Shuo: There’s No Need Luo Kai’s weathered old face.

In the backdrop of the blazing firelight, it unusually revealed a hint of the defiance and pride belonging to the young, his messy black hair flying in the flames, tinted with a layer of fiery red.

The surrounding thick darkness was illuminated, the cold and chaos swept away by the fireworks, tinged with a wild and burning breath!

Proud and spirited!

Luo Kai neatly sheathed his sword, lifted his chin with his face pale from excessive blood loss, and said, “I’m handsome, right?”

Xu Shuo glanced at him, silent.

Handsome, for about three seconds.

But really unnecessary.

...

Totally unnecessary.

And the monster hadn’t been completely dealt with, either.

Xu Shuo took out a disposable fruit knife, infused it with the power of “Radiance,” and threw it downward, nailing it firmly into the ground.

“Eeeek!”

From the darkness, a tender voice cried out in anger, the Abyss Darkness attempting to grow within the burning flames, both devouring each other.

Luo Kai suddenly turned his head to look.

His long sword parted the spreading darkness, revealing on the barely cleaned ground, a small monster crouched on a sewer cover, trying to pry out the fruit knife nailed through its arm.

But the knife, imbued with the power of light, was not only eroding the darkness on its body but also prevented it from being touched or pulled out.

This creature, though still two heads tall.

Compared to the bloated and massive King Kong Barbie it initially appeared as, now it was just an ugly little lump less than half a meter big.

Its body charred black, oozing a sticky black substance from beneath, with a split mouth full of fine, sharp teeth, eyes blood-red filled with various chaotic and negative emotions, like a vortex, causing dizziness on sight.

Xu Shuo landed on the ground from the air, his gaze quietly sizing up the monster.

The monster glared at him fiercely, even as it kept trying to struggle and escape, its attention never left him, its actions even containing a wild excitement!

“Is this its true form?”

As Luo Kai spoke, he stepped forward a few paces.

The Patterned Han Sword floated beside him, helping him poke the creature’s body with its tip.

“Hiss—”

The monster suddenly turned its head, baring its teeth viciously in threat, ferocious to the core!

Luo Kai immediately raised his hand to grab the sword: “This thing can’t be left alive, it’s triggered too much Abyss Darkness!”

It was just these few seconds of delay that allowed the darkness, which had just been scorched by flames, to creep back towards them at a slow pace.

He was worried that delay might bring change.

It was certainly not because he was annoyed that the thing had dared to hiss at him!

Luo Kai put on a fierce expression, but the person next to him still showed little reaction, just fixated on the struggling creature on the ground, making him involuntarily look over with puzzlement.

“What are you waiting for?” Luo Kai asked.

“Nothing at all,” replied Xu Shuo, his tone nonchalant.

“Then what are you watching?”

“I’m watching how it struggles.”

Luo Kai: “…” What is wrong with this guy?

Xu Shuo was not speaking nonsense.

He was indeed observing how the monster struggled.

The enchanted fruit knife couldn’t possibly keep it pinned down permanently, in fact, it was Xu Shuo who was suppressing the monster’s actions with his spiritual power, just as he had forced the creature into a trap earlier.

In the view of the Mind Network, this creature was not in the guise of a child.

It was merely an indescribable mass, a glob of darkness that constantly twisted and writhed.

And Xu Shuo was using his psychic ability to compress this indescribable mass into a shape he could understand, but the darkness was always changing, so he also needed to continuously adjust his spiritual power to control it.

The result was…

the thing remained an indefinable indescribable mass.

Moreover, the continuous attempts to communicate with the power of darkness seemed to also have caused some confusion in his thinking.

Xu Shuo felt he was contemplating something, but if he tried to recall carefully, it seemed that he hadn’t thought about anything at all.

Yet his mind felt very muddled, as if countless things were intertwining, hazy and uncertain.

Clearly incomprehensible.

But he felt his thoughts were clear.

He even knew what he was suffering, like an observer watching himself fall into an incomprehensible vortex.

Then Xu Shuo stopped those chaotic thoughts.

It was like pressing the stop button on a playing ghost video, and then, as the countdown of the stop button ticked down, moving the cursor to the top right corner and clicking close.

Ah, relief.

Just then, a fiercely hot red light suddenly burst into view.

“Hiss!”

Luo Kai’s sword landed on the monster’s head, and as it let out a sharp, piercing howl, a fiery red breath exploded, subjecting it to the searing heat of flames.

As the creature thrashed in agony, Luo Kai pulled out a blank card and with a “snap,” flung it onto the monster.

A holy light bloomed, absorbing both the monster and the surrounding darkness into the card, but before it was completely sucked in, the monster struggled madly in Xu Shuo’s direction, seemingly filled with reluctance.

Whoosh!

In the end, the creature was completely sealed within the card.

But the environment remained pitch black, and the originally blank card now turned dark, oozing a black substance downwards.

Luo Kai beckoned the card into his hand.

On its surface, shapes twisted and wriggled as if something was chaotically scurrying around inside, the darkness sticking to his fingers.

“I’ll take this to the Script Space for purification first,” Luo Kai said, pinching the corner of the card with evident distaste and giving it a shake.

Xu Shuo nodded, “Seventy-thirty.”

Luo Kai immediately came to a halt.

He hesitated, “I…

seventy?”

Xu Shuo looked at him with an inscrutable gaze.

Luo Kai: “…”

The two stood in the pitch-black alley, silently staring at each other for a long while, and the atmosphere suddenly became very stagnant.

After a long pause, Luo Kai’s voice went up an octave with irritation, “I used to think you were not too excessive!

But now how can you be so excessive, you even dare to mention seventy-thirty!”

Xu Shuo’s expression was calm, “I did the scouting, and it was I who found someone to close the Abyss Rift…

This little monster was also found by me, and I subdued it.

Aside from those derivative Abyss creatures, you just came in to give it an extra stab.”

Luo Kai: “…”

Luo Kai: “…”

At first hearing! it seemed to be the case?

But something didn’t feel right to Luo Kai.

The man seemed completely relaxed the whole time, just standing there ordinarily, and when the monster attacked, he didn’t even bother to move; he even had the leisure to observe the creature’s struggle as it fell.

A total slacker.

And yet, he had apparently already done so much?

Then he came in.

Just to dish out one heavy blow?

After giving it careful thought for a long time, Luo Kai realized that this was indeed the case!

So what was that whole act just now for?

For that cool three seconds?!

At this moment, Luo Kai finally understood the meaning behind the look that Xu Shuo gave him when he had arrogantly asked, “Am I cool?”

——It was completely unnecessary.

Luo Kai: “#@#ï¿¥%*…”

…

A third-tier Abyss creature.

Xu Shuo this time received seventy thousand points.

“Even with the Abyss Rift, this domain still isn’t considered upgraded?” Xu Shuo frowned as he looked at the number of points.

The Script Space was being too stingy.

Not only did it calculate points with such precision, but within the Abyss Domain, it also strictly controlled the level of access, as if afraid that giving players even one extra level would end their world.

“Creatures are creatures, the Abyss is the Abyss.”

Luo Kai, smoking and looking haggard, squatted down and said, “The concentration of Abyss Darkness in this area might already be at the fourth tier, but the creatures it nourishes are still only third-tier, and the domain they unfold is also only third-tier.

Moreover, after the rift is closed, without further sustenance, the creatures cannot advance to fourth tier in a short time.”

So after all calculations.

It’s just a third-tier Abyss.

Script Space: That’s it, nothing more.

The Script Space was dead cheap.

Having surveyed the surroundings, Xu Shuo then turned to leave, “I’m off, you deal with the rest.”

While smoking, Luo Kai cocked his head and suddenly said, “Wait a second, I think it was also me who forced that monster out earlier, and now I’m the one covering our retreat here, so why do I only get thirty percent?

Hard labor doesn’t count as a contribution, huh?”

Xu Shuo walked away quickly.

Luo Kai: “You…!”

…
