There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

It was just to stop the New An Bureau and the officials from collaborating, there was no need for Paradise Bird to go to such lengths.

After all, there was still some time before the "Spatial Jump Skills" were unveiled, and to place themselves in a passive situation at this time seemed too strange.

Could it be that Paradise Bird's target was really him yesterday?

They didn't catch him yesterday, so they came again today?

Yin Banqian was utterly puzzled.

He stared at the young man in front of him, attempting to probe for something, "What exactly do you want, ambushing us yesterday and coming again today?"

Luo Kun stood on a chaotic piece of ground, his shoes grinding over spreading bloodstains, the smile at the corner of his mouth unchanged.

Psychic Ability allowed him to outline the figure in the air in his mind, and it seemed like he found the other's eyes, his dangerous green pupils staring intently, his smile inscrutable, "How sad, am I not welcome? I specifically came to see you."

"Ha, who would like you Paradise Bird maniacs," Yin Banqian sneered, "But to think you can deal with me with your current power is wildly imaginative!"

"Is that so? I was just curious about the person he had come looking for—"

Bang!

Luo Kun hadn't finished speaking when the floor he was standing on suddenly shattered, and he fell down unexpectedly!

At the same time, Yin Banqian suddenly felt a heavy blow to his brain, his thoughts suddenly became hazy and confused, and an irresistible force plunged him into darkness in an instant!

The howling wind in the sky stopped abruptly, and the state of absolute invisibility was thus broken.

Immediately after, a force caught the falling Yin Banqian, but just as he was about to float out of the conference room, a wall formed by converging debris swiftly blocked between them.

Xu Shuo looked down below.

This building hadn't completely collapsed, but the interior structure was twisting and changing, and the other soldiers previously in the building were trapped inside.

The person controlling all this stood far below inside the building, smiling eerily and maniacally.

"Doctor Chu, I knew you would come here~"

As he spoke, mechanical fragments in the conference room began to float, disassembling and recombining, countless dense and sharp objects aimed at Yin Banqian floating in mid-air, leaving him no escape.

Xu Shuo's expression was calm, "Try it."

Luo Kun laughed, he had always been one to try if he said he would, so in the next moment those fragments shot out!

Then, before they neared Yin Banqian, the fragments suddenly changed direction, surging towards Luo Kun below!

Not a single fragment was spared!

Whoosh—

Several pieces of the building's mechanical debris hovered mid-air, trembling, neither rising nor falling, in a state of balance.

It seemed as though two forces were controlling them, each vying against the other, powerful Energy Blasts spreading out, to the extent that the building began trembling.

Excitement filled Luo Kun's eyes, an unnatural flush appearing on his face as if he was incredibly thrilled by the confrontation, relying on his own willpower to withstand the force of the other party!

At last, unable to withstand the onslaught of these two energies, the fragments abruptly turned into dust!

Invisible shockwaves spread, and Luo Kun below took two steps back, while the walls and floors of the room he was in shattered inch by inch.

"Bang!"

The floors above and below the three hundredth floor trembled, no longer able to hold on, the supporting walls of the building cracked, and then the entire upper half of the building began to collapse!

The towering building that stood tall, reaching into the clouds, its top floor fell from the heights, once majestic and imposing, it now bore cracks and teetered on the brink of collapsing remaining bottom half.

Xu Shuo grasped Yin Banqian's body, the rumbling upper structure crashing down had no effect on him, telekinesis formed a perfect vacuum around him.

Looking down, Luo Kun had just overused his spiritual power, so he seemed a bit rushed in the face of the suddenly collapsing building.

But he still managed to dodge the falling debris with ease, the young man standing on a piece of rubble, looking up intently at Xu Shuo in mid-air, those green eyes still remarkably intense.

Xu Shuo watched him quietly.

Honestly, there had been something strange ever since they met.

—Chen Chu wasn't a player-controlled Character Card.

Luo Kun, who had been mixing in the Script Space for so long, couldn't be unaware of the rules, so why did the other party think he was the player from before?

Luo Kun's emotions were very certain on this matter.

But obviously, asking directly probably wouldn't get any answers, and he would be challenged to a fight first, and this guy might even spout a bunch of seemingly right but actually wrong words.

The reason Xu Shuo hadn't left right away was because he also had something to say to him.

"The product launch event of Long Group in a week."

"What?" Luo Kun narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I don't feel like wasting my time running around with you every day, next week, I'll settle things with you properly," Xu Shuo said.

Xu Shuo said indifferently and then disappeared with Yin Banqian in an instant.

Luo Kun's psychic ability rapidly released, but there was no trace of them within a ten-kilometer radius; their tracks had vanished thoroughly.

His expression twisted into a fierce grimace as he stared coldly at the spot where the young man had just stood. Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire

Then he raised his hand and clenched his palm abruptly!

"Boom!"

The entire Silverglow Tower shattered and collapsed in a roar!

Luo Kun clenched his fist tightly, his not-so-slender nails digging fiercely into his palm, piercing the skin, and making threads of crimson blood seep out from between his fingers.

But after a short while, a strange smile appeared on the boy's face, his green eyes shining radiantly beneath his black, broken hair.

...

...

Fifty kilometers away.

Between towering high-rises, under the middle layer's plaza, in the darkest bottom-level alley.

Xu Shuo, having taken Yin Banqian far from that area, finally stopped to rest for a while, and also to check on the status of the other companions.

In his haste, Xu Shuo had triggered the mark in Yin Banqian's mind, blocking his consciousness.

To be honest, Xu Shuo was truly a bit annoyed by Luo Kun's relentless and vengeful stance.

He could understand why Luo Kun would want to kill Doctor Chen Chu since the doctor had killed him so many times before, and now, having escaped the time loop, he naturally wanted revenge after losing his source of amusement.

But Xu Shuo was not Doctor Chen Chu.

And according to Hong Rao—only NPCs who have died in reality can awaken in Script Space, so if a madman like Luo Kun could die, then Chen Chu might already be dead, right?

Even if he's not dead, Luo Kun, having awakened, was as good as resurrected in reality and could just go directly to seek revenge against Chen Chu.

Why bother with him, an innocent player?

Could it be that Luo Kun decided to take out his inability to beat Doctor Chu on him, an innocent bystander?

Being targeted by such a madman was genuinely troublesome.

I will kill you sooner or later!

The reason Xu Shuo set the time for next week's conference was partly because Paradise Bird certainly also had this task and it didn't matter, and partly because he still needed time to adapt to Professor Li's ability.

An even better outcome would be if he could directly trigger the Character Card during this time.

Otherwise, he felt a bit like he was letting down the identity of Professor Li.

The director of the New An Bureau was now contending with Luo Kun, a little brat, and was having to struggle a bit; his psychic ability was still unable to kill his opponent in one strike, which really shouldn't be the case!

Xu Shuo pondered to himself and opened the Micro-end chat room.

Orange Cat: [I've brought out Senior Yin, but his condition is very strange, it seems he has been attacked by psychic ability, and he is now in a coma. I think it's better to bring him back to headquarters for treatment.]

Tortoiseshell Cat: [?!!]

Tortoiseshell Cat: [How is that possible?]

Angora Cat: [I got it, hurry and bring Banqian back.]

Orange Cat: [Okay.]

Siamese Cat: [Wait! What about me? What about me?]

Angora Cat: [Be careful about your location when you come.]

Then a picture of the main control room was sent over.

No one paid attention to Cheng Can, who was still evading pursuit by the Inspection Team, because as long as the New An Bureau finished negotiations with the officials, even if he was captured, at least his life would not be a concern.

After receiving an assurance from Pianning, Xu Shuo closed his eyes and locked onto the City in the Sky hundreds of kilometers away in his mind.

The next moment, he and Yin Banqian appeared in the main control room.

The red-haired woman sat in front of a bank of computer screens, facing away from him. She did not turn around when she sensed their arrival, but instead furrowed her brows as she looked at the virtual image in front of her.

Pianning was still negotiating with the officials. Xu Shuo, appearing in a corner, looked at her but did not speak; instead, he sent a message in the chat room.

Right after that, a door opened beside him, accompanied by a familiar, large virtual arrow appearing to point the way.

It was very much like the helpful arrow signs the system provided when Xu Shuo first entered the Script Space.

With Pianning currently preoccupied, Xu Shuo had to take Yin Banqian to seek medical personnel in the base himself.

He turned and left with a calm expression.
