There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 690

Chapter 690: Chapter 591 The Power of the Mind Chapter 690: Chapter 591 The Power of the Mind Feeling like he had been cooped up at home for too long and possibly getting a bit restless, Xu Shuo decided to head to his work studio for some work and fresh air after lunch.

But a mere kilometer from the company, just around the bend in the road,

how could he possibly get into a car accident?

Xu Shuo had been driving for so long.

This was the first time he had hit a person.

It wouldn’t be accurate to call the sensation “fresh.”

After all, it seems quite disrespectful to say that about the person he hit.

Although he couldn’t understand why that person suddenly darted out from the grassy median, and even less so why he didn’t react in time, the fact remained that he had indeed sent the person flying.

And the collision was no small impact — the driver-side airbag had deployed.

...

If he hadn’t been sure that his car was still driving in the third lane, he would have thought he’d carelessly hit a curb while turning.

Xu Shuo unlocked the door with his left hand and got out of the car.

Within sight, a woman in a black dress with brightly dyed red hair was lying about five to six meters away.

Somewhat oddly,

despite the loud collision and the fact that the person had been sent flying, he didn’t see or smell any blood at the scene.

Xu Shuo squinted his eyes, and just as he planned to go over to check,

suddenly, a person burst out from the front side!

This time, Xu Shuo clearly saw the figure run out from a nearby apartment, then skillfully jump over the roadside grassy area and stand before him with some haste.

Even though there was a pedestrian exit right next to the grassy area.

But they chose not to take the beaten path.

And the person who ran out

was the new employee, Los.

“I’m sorry…”

Los quickly stepped in front of Xu Shuo, pushed up his glasses, and said with his head lowered, “She’s my friend; she just ran out suddenly.”

Xu Shuo paused for a moment.

He caught two key phrases.

— A friend from the Sixth Palace?

Of course, the more significant point was that it seemed like the friend of the person he hit was the first to apologize!

Thus, Xu Shuo probed without changing his expression, “She ran into my car.”

Los pursed his lips, “I’m sorry, if your car was damaged, I can…”

He said while turning his head to look at Xu Shuo’s car.

What he saw was the silver-gray sedan, with its front completely crumpled inward, the license plate hanging off, and the headlights and radiator grille smashed to bits.

This wasn’t like hitting a human.

It was like running into a tank.

Los continued with an unbearable look, “I can compensate in full.”

The unattended victim: “…”

Having said that,

Xu Shuo was now certain that the person wouldn’t be in any trouble.

After all, the normal reaction should be to first check if their friend was dead or not, rather than acting indifferent to the friend lying on the ground after seeing a car damaged like that.

So, he wasn’t in a hurry to handle the car accident now, and with a keen interest, he looked at Los standing before him and suddenly asked, “Are you off today?”

Los was stunned and then nodded, “Yes.”

Xu Shuo tilted his head, “That’s quite the coincidence.

I was going to the company today specifically to ask you something.

It looks like if I’d gone straight there, I probably would have missed you.”

Los: “…” Got into a car accident and you’re still feeling lucky, huh?

Curse you, Angela!

She indeed had brought trouble the moment she arrived!

As Los complained inwardly, he instinctively looked at the woman who had been hit not far away, only to find no trace of her on the ground.

She had already quietly gotten up and slipped away while Los was focused on Xu Shuo.

After they descended into this world, they were essentially in a sealed state to avoid easily causing chaos in this fragile Level Zero world.

However, they could still use some minor abilities unrelated to Supernatural Power.

Surviving a car crash wasn’t a supernaturally event; it was a matter of physical constitution!

And for instance, the victim slipping away unnoticed right under their noses also didn’t count as a supernatural event!

“Your friend is quite extraordinarily gifted,” Xu Shuo remarked while looking at the now-empty spot.

If he told the traffic police that his car was damaged from hitting a person, they probably wouldn’t believe him.

Filing for insurance, and they don’t pay out.

Xu Shuo suddenly frowned, not knowing why, but the feeling of irritability in his heart seemed to be becoming more and more apparent, always making him want to do something to vent.

He’s never been like this for no reason before.

Xu Shuo’s temperament is still very good.

When he went out to discuss cooperation, even if the other party proposed conditions that were excessively outrageous, he would not get angry easily.

He could always just switch to another company, after all.

But if he were to go into a cooperation meeting now with his current state of mind,

he might just pick up the ashtray next to him and smash it across!

What the hell!

Before switching to another company, he’d have to let out some steam first!

Los, who was next to him, seemed to want to say something, but Xu Shuo had already turned around and sat back in the car, opened the glove compartment, took out a fruit knife, and directly slashed the airbag.

Then, he turned to look at Los, who was still foolishly standing by the roadside.

“Get in the car.”

Los was startled for a moment, and after a slight hesitation, he walked over to the passenger side, opened the door, and sat down.

He sat up straight in his seat, slightly tilting his head and pushing up his glasses, the fine hair hanging in front of his forehead almost completely covering his eyebrows and eyes.

In his current state,

there’s hardly any hint of the overwhelming presence he had faced Angela with earlier.

…

The battered car was back on the road.

Xu Shuo didn’t continue to the company; instead, he took a detour to a nearby car dealership under the same brand and handed them the car for repairs.

The staff member, seeing the condition of the front of the car, was somewhat surprised: “You must have hit something, didn’t you buy insurance?”

Xu Shuo: “I did it myself.”

Staff member: “Oh…”

Filing insurance requires on-site evidence to compensate, but with no evidence of a hit person, bloodstains, or damage to the road curb at the scene, it would take a long time to get the payment.

It’s just a waste of time reporting it.

And if they actually started to investigate, it wouldn’t stand up to scrutiny; after all, he couldn’t just say he hit a superhero, right?

The maintenance check would take two days.

So, now Xu Shuo was without a vehicle.

Walking on the road, he asked Los, who was keeping pace beside him with a faint expression: “Don’t you want to say something?”

Los said pensively, “If you find it inconvenient to travel, I can compensate you for a new car right now.”

Xu Shuo had reason to believe the guy was trying to dodge the important questions.

He didn’t speak, just glanced sideways at the bustling street, with the unremarkable sunlight casting a shadow beneath his eyelashes, making his expression seem somewhat gloomy.

Peace Street was as quiet as if deserted.

But other parts of the city were still bustling with activity, noisy with the hustle and bustle of traffic.

After walking for quite a while,

Los finally spoke again: “Actually…

if you already know about the existence of the Sixth Palace, then you should also know that we have long been aware of your performance in the Script Space and know about some of your special qualities.”

Xu Shuo looked at a street food stall not far away and casually said, “Then what?”

“If there’s a problem, the Tower of Judgment in the Script Space will handle it, but if it doesn’t, it means your special quality isn’t that special,” Los said.

“Hmm, and then?”

“…”

He was determined to get to the bottom of this, huh?

Los looked helpless.

He continued, “The Sixth Palace controls the twelve Space Towers and is one of the orders maintaining the entire operation of the Script Space.

The faith power source from our Space Towers was involved in those scripts you disrupted.

So I came over to see if there’s anything special about you.”

Xu Shuo turned his head to look at him: “Faith Power?”

“Every being has faith power.

In the thousands and millions of worlds, every creature can possess different emotions, thoughts, ideologies, consciousness…”

Los pushed up his glasses and said, “All these can exist as a form of faith power, or you might say…”

“The power of the mind?”

Xu Shuo took over his words.

Los nodded: “Right.”

These things are ethereal and seem almost impossible to exist because they are all born from the minds of living beings, integrated into life, and are related to every bit of everyday existence.

People tend to unconsciously overlook the things that they produce and change every day that impact their lives.

Those are their emotions.
