There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 686

Chapter 686: Chapter 587 The Water Here is Very Deep Chapter 686: Chapter 587 The Water Here is Very Deep Although he had been tricked,

he still had to finish what needed to be done.

Luo Kai cursed as he pried open the manhole cover and jumped down.

The stench below was unbearable, a mixture of odors so foul that Luo Kai didn’t even want to describe it—he just covered his nose and frowned as he took a look around.

He walked deeper, reaching the area where the scent of the Abyss was strongest.

Here flowed a black, viscous substance, the accumulated depth of which had already surpassed his ankles, spreading through the sewer in all directions.

Luo Kai reached out and touched the wall.

It seemed the Abyss Rift had originated here, and though it had since been patched up, it still seeped out an extremely potent malice.

...

Given time, it would likely give birth to another massive Abyss Creature.

His fingertips traced along the wall, a faint red light flickering.

Then the flames ignited, spreading along the dark substance; in the blink of an eye, the entire underground space was filled with scorching heat.

But these flames did not harm any other constructions, only burning the dark material.

Walking amid the flames, Luo Kai continued to search other areas.

Apart from this spot, there was another location where the presence of the Abyss was incredibly strong.

Based on the position of the ground, Luo Kai figured it was approximately near the budget mall.

Well, this place is empty.

He tapped the wall in front of him.

Though it felt solid to the touch, and seemed substantial, it was really just an extremely realistic illusion.

Then, Luo Kai also set fire in this place.

He watched the wall with anticipation, then retracted his gaze with disappointment—he couldn’t break through this illusion.

It made sense, after all, Judgement came from Script Space.

Following the sewers, Luo Kai continued his inspection in many places, finally confirming that the influence of the Abyss might have already spread through the drainage pipes, radiating throughout the entire Heiyu District!

That was equivalent to one-seventh of Yangcheng!

And it might even continue to affect other areas!

“It’s a big project, indeed.”

Luo Kai furrowed his brows deeply and lit a cigarette, inhaling deeply, “Who knows what kind of idiots are throwing stuff into the sewer, such a nuisance.”

The birthplace of the Abyss had its inevitable reasons.

The negative emotions produced by humans possess a powerful energy beyond their imagination.

An Abyss Creature born from these negative emotions is like a queen within its territory.

If the queen isn’t slain, it will continuously spawn new monsters, and the queen’s power mainly comes from the Abyss Rift.

As for how the Abyss Rift came to be…

who knows how it was torn open.

Nobody knows where exactly the Abyss comes from.

Maybe from outside this world?

After surveying the general area, Luo Kai turned to walk back.

As he approached the neighborhood near Peace Street, he could still see the darkness sticking to the walls and floor.

The flames had not managed to burn away all the darkness.

“Clang—”

Suddenly, a noise came from afar, magnified by the empty underground passage into an echoing sound.

Luo Kai’s gaze shot in that direction.

In the dark, a speck of starlight was barely discernible.

A white, distorted shadow frolicked in the air, shapeless like water, drifting aimlessly, yet occasionally it would coalesce into a fixed shape.

Upon noticing Luo Kai, the white shadow that had been wandering halted abruptly, then swiftly drifted back and vanished around a corner.

“Clang—”

It had also carelessly bumped into a metal railing.

Luo Kai paused, cigarette in hand, and walked forward.

Soon enough, he encountered a figure.

The white, shapeless flow hovered beside him, weaving in and out of his body like a vibrant living entity.

“Hello.”

The other party was the first to speak, “You must be Mr.

Luo that Captain Zheng mentioned.

My name is Jiang Feng, I came from Rong City, and am currently at level three.”

“Luo Kai, Capital Citizen.”

Luo Kai reported his identity, extinguishing the cigarette butt against the wall beside him.

“What about the other person?” the other party suddenly asked.

“Gone.”

The other party must have been referring to Xu Shuo, but that guy was best at passing the buck.

Always first to grab the rewards, but also first in line when it came to cleaning up the mess—the very first to run away.

As the two got closer, the appearance of the person opposite became clearer.

He was a young man in his twenties, filled with vigor and vitality in his expression and attitude; in fact, most of the players selected by Script Space were young people like him.

Jiang Feng also sized him up inconspicuously while saying, “I heard that there was a tough creature here and traces of an Abyss Rift, so I hurried over.

But looking at the situation now, it seems like you’ve dealt with it already?”

“Uh!”

While lighting a new cigarette, Luo Kai nodded, “There indeed was a creature, but it has just been dealt with, and there was, in fact, an Abyss Rift, but that too has been temporarily resolved for now.

Only these traces of Abyss Qi spreading along the sewage system are a bit tricky to deal with.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng’s mouth twitched.

So, he’s come all this way just to scavenge some leftovers and incidentally help with the aftermath?

What a colossal misunderstanding!

Jiang Feng’s face had already begun to look off.

Luo Kai seemed to also feel a little awkward, coughing while taking a drag and saying, “Mainly because the incident happened all of a sudden, I didn’t expect it, and Captain Zheng got a bit anxious.

But I’m troubled by your long trip here, for which I’ll make sure Yangcheng Security Bureau compensates you.”

Just pass the buck to Yangcheng Security Bureau then.

And by bringing this up, he was also hinting that cash from the real world could still be provided, but points from Script Space were off the table.

Jiang Feng’s face became increasingly strange, with a white fluid coursing between his fingers.

He then suddenly asked, “But how did you deal with the Abyss Rift?

I heard that Mr.

Luo, you’re a level four player, so you might have had the strength, but I haven’t heard much about the other one.”

He had inquired about the two of them on the plane, knowing little about the other person, but heard that their level wasn’t high, hence, most of the official communication was handled by Luo Kai.

As for Luo Kai’s identity, he was very clear about it, after all, the first player to actively engage with the official forces of the real world was this man.

Of course, this might also be attributed to his Luo Family status, which gave Luo Kai the courage to reveal his super-powered individual identity so boldly in front of the official apparatus without fearing getting thrown into Little Black.

As for other players, some were attracted by the Security Bureau’s generous remuneration, or they wanted to contribute to the security of the real world and came forward voluntarily.

Others were betrayed and forced to expose themselves.

Most players were still cautiously watching.

Jiang Feng was one who came forward voluntarily.

His eagerness was mainly because the level four Judgement was approaching quickly, and he wanted to utilize the power of the officials to earn more points in the real world to upgrade his strength.

And then!

His first mission turned out to be a wild goose chase.

These two people didn’t even leave a drop of soup for him.

Jiang Feng wanted to get furious, but one was not someone he could afford to provoke, and the other had an unclear identity.

He felt a bit unwilling to let it go.

He had to understand the full extent of his grievance!

It was the Abyss Rift that brought him running over.

Such a large Abyss Rift, even if the first creature was dealt with, wouldn’t it continue to spawn a second one?

Where would ordinary people find the power to seal an Abyss Rift!

Upon hearing this, Luo Kai smiled.

“You’re aware of the defense line that was set up in our world not long ago, aren’t you?” he asked in return.

“Yes,” Jiang Feng nodded, puzzled.

“Then do you know that it was Judgement from Script Space who set up the defense line?” Luo Kai added.

“Judge! ment?” the color of Jiang Feng’s face showed his hesitation.

Luo Kai stepped forward, draping an arm over his shoulder, the smoke from the cigarette curling around them both in the dark, making the atmosphere slightly oppressive.

He said in a low voice, “The waters of the Script Space are actually deeper than you think.

You might want to wait until you reach level four before you try to tackle it.”

If it weren’t for knowing about Judgement’s existence.

He, as a level four player, would’ve actually wanted to show off in front of Xu Shuo too.
