There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 745 - 637: Xu Shuo / Luo Kai: Eating Melon_2
Chapter 745 -637: Xu Shuo / Luo Kai: Eating Melon_2
Luo Kai tugged at the corner of his mouth speechlessly but didn’t say anything more.
He still clung to the conjecture in his heart.
Once these Abyssal Darkness encountered certain people, they would rush forward as if they had lost their minds, though those monsters themselves were mindless.
Take this roller coaster monster for instance; it hadn’t even fully developed and its body wasn’t even completely assembled before it eagerly sought them out, only to end up destroyed by Luo Kai’s sword.
The flames fueled by his blood weren’t so easily shaken off, and in an instant, one hand dissipated into smoke and clouds.
Luo Kai sheathed his sword and this time, instead of continuing to explore, he simply stood still and looked around.
...
He was waiting for the Abyss to come to him.
Xu Shuo didn’t make a move either, seemingly just there to glean some points, and even took out his phone to reply to messages.
Just then, there was a rustling noise in the darkness.
Luo Kai suddenly turned in that direction, his sword shining like a rainbow, the hot breath spreading in the cold and sticky darkness like the sun breaking through ice, and shot out!
The flames raged fiercely, clearing a patch of ground ahead, with a twisted monster impaled on the tip of the sword.
The surrounding storm grew wilder, and suddenly Xu Shuo stopped playing with his phone and looked thoughtfully at the indescribable creature that was fixedly staring at him.
The monster looked human, but its limbs were twisted beyond recognition, and those murky, blood-red eyes became even more ferocious in the firelight, with deep resentments and hatred flowing through the darkness, making the storm howl like the roar of a beast.
“Wait…”
No sooner had Xu Shuo’s voice fallen than there was a sudden boom by their ears!
…
After the familiar roar subsided.
The scene before them had changed; there were no oppressive dark storms or twisted and malicious monsters, but rather an amusement park under a sky of blue and clouds of white, with mild winds and a gentle sun.
Luo Kai was stunned for a moment, then frowned after coming to his senses, “Could this be a play script?”
Xu Shuo surveyed the surroundings, “I don’t know, didn’t you scan with the radar when you came?”
“I treated it as a normal Abyss invasion incident, I never thought it would be an extractable script,” said Luo Kai.
“That’s really not very diligent.”
“…”
Luo Kai was at a loss for words again.
Although Xu Shuo also had the director occupation, it didn’t stop him, as an amateur, from criticizing the professional’s irresponsibility.
Luo Kai then activated his Director’s Compass, and sure enough, there was a small light spot on it, exactly where he was.
It really was a script.
“Yo, the progress bar is already halfway,” Luo Kai said, raising his eyebrows in surprise.

Of course, the reason for the quickly advancing progress might also be that they had nearly killed the script’s boss by mistake.
This script was clearly a Mutant Script!
The place the two of them were in should be the former Mingzhu Fun World, but a few years ago, it wasn’t the largest amusement park in Yangcheng; it was just an ordinary park called Mingzhu Park.
Coincidentally, after an incident at Mingzhu Park, it was Joy World that had acquired and refurbished it.
Luo Kai looked around, guessing that the amusement park should also be on a weekday at this time, since although there were visitors, the numbers were not large.
“Who died a few years ago?” Xu Shuo asked at this point.
He hadn’t looked at the accident information carefully, because he never thought it would be a script, naturally, he didn’t care about the reasons for the past incident.
Thinking it over, Luo Kai said, “It was a woman. On the second lap on the roller coaster, she might have been flung out due to the impact at the turn, as her safety belt came undone.”
“What did she look like?” Xu Shuo asked again.
“…You’re putting me on the spot again.”
“Tsk.”
Of course, Luo Kai remembered what the woman looked like, but if he had to describe her, it would not go beyond the description of “two eyes, one nose, one mouth.”
So they could only wander near the roller coaster, hoping to come across the victim.
Although Mingzhu Park was not as luxurious as Joy World, it had all the necessary amusement facilities; the thrill zone included roller coasters, pirate ships, and sky chairs, among other exciting rides.
And where the rest area originally was, now too was still a rest area, albeit a bit more modest, with no food stands nearby.
Luo Kai started blocking people at the entrance of the roller coaster, while Xu Shuo simply sat down on the relaxation chair in the rest area.
He released his spiritual power and covered the entire amusement park, also spotting the approximate activity range of this script.
Alpha analyzed the information very quickly.
He almost instantly locked onto a group of somewhat odd individuals.
They were several young adults, three men and three women, probably a group that had come to play at the amusement park.
Among them, one couple was acting intimately, clearly identifiable as lovers.
Of the other two men and women, one pair also showed budding intimacy, probably in that gray area between friends and lovers, while the other pair showed no such signs and appeared to be just ordinary friends.
Xu Shuo’s attention was on one of the women, who wore a gloomy expression, sticking out like a sore thumb in this jovial group.
The girl whose relationship status was yet to be defined noticed her mood and affectionately grasped her arm, speaking to her, yet the woman’s expression was extremely irritable.
From the snippets of conversation between the six people, Xu Shuo managed to piece together a bit of their story.
The six were students from the same university and the same club, and as they would soon be going their separate ways after graduation, they arranged a time to gather.
Moreover, the relationships among these six people were secretly quite complex, it was not the simple dynamic of lovers and friends.
It could be said that their circle was really messy.
Hmm, it was quite the dramatic setup.
As Xu Shuo was discreetly enjoying the drama, Luo Kai, who had been leaning against the roller coaster fence, suddenly came over and curiously asked, “Did you find something?”
Xu Shuo turned his head toward him: “Hmm?”
What, was my gossip-loving expression that obvious?
Luo Kai immediately said, “You seem to be relishing some juicy gossip.”
Although his expression remained unchanged, still calm with a subtle warmth, his eyes lit up imperceptibly.
It was only because of their experience with each other that Luo Kai could tell from the subtle cues that this guy was quietly enjoying the show.
Xu Shuo paused before saying, “There’s a group of people coming this way; take a look and see if our target is among them.
Luo Kai turned to look and waited a good while before spotting several young adults chatting and laughing as they approached at the end of the path. His gaze then suddenly sharpened, settling on the sullen-faced woman on the edge of the group.
Xu Shuo noticed his reaction.
“That woman?”
“Yeah,” Luo Kai nodded.
Although the woman had a heavy aura and was clearly not in a good mood, throwing tantrums within the jovial atmosphere of the young people, she seemed more like someone who would commit a crime.
But in some detective series, typically such a person would be the first to die.
Luo Kai went on to say, “If this were a script, then the accident might not be a simple mishap.”
But as he spoke, Luo Kai seemed to recall something and added, “Of course, it could also be a story driven by personal emotions, so there might not be a real culprit.”
Even though emotional dramas may involve incidents, the cause of death could indeed be an accident, or perhaps suicide; ultimately everything exists to serve the storyline, and hunting for a culprit takes a backseat.
But after closely observing the young people, Luo Kai felt it was unlikely they would develop any moving emotional scenes amongst them.
As the two discussed, the group had already reached the scream zone and started purchasing tickets at the roller coaster ticket booth.
Mingzhu Park was not a unified amusement park—you had to buy individual tickets for different rides.
And during the process of buying tickets, the six people seemed to have another disagreement.
First, the prospective victim shook off her friends’ hands and walked away to sulk on her own, prompting everyone to pause their fun and run over to console her. Amid the comforting, they somehow started arguing with the couple, and the scene quickly descended into chaos.
Luo Kai remarked, “She’s so willful, if she doesn’t die, who will?”
Xu Shuo nodded with an air of gravity.
While it seemed that the argument could go on for a while longer, Luo Kai listened in and began to fumble with his wallet from his pocket.
“Which generation of currency is this era using?” he asked, furrowing his brow at his wallet.
“The fourth generation, I think.”
“Sheesh, can I use this fifth-generation money then?”
“You could try?”
If they were going to progress through the script, they definitely needed to follow the group onto the roller coaster, but you had to buy individual tickets for the rides at this amusement park.
Xu Shuo actually didn’t feel like spending money on a ticket.
He could directly ask the operator to let them through, but he was also quite amused by Luo Kai’s dilemma.
As Luo Kai decided to give it a try,
Xu Shuo looked back at the grass bed behind the leisure chair, thought for a moment, opened the Player’s Handbook, and purchased a mini drift bottle from the value store.
It was a toy, not a prop.
But it had a long shelf life.
