There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Chapter 354 You Buy It on the Spot!



The only thing they knew was that an Abyss Rift had once been opened nearby, and it was a Rift that had been dealt with shortly after it appeared.

Regarding this issue, Xu Shuo and Luo Kai had gone to investigate the site once, and later Luo Kai had gone back alone to investigate it more thoroughly.

After confirming the Abyss was closed, the night Luo Kai was preparing to leave Yang City was when the village had its incident.

The first event influenced by the Abyss was the train that fell off the viaduct and the Little Ghost within it, but no one knew if anything else had been contaminated by the overflow of evil Qi.

This village was the closest location to the Abyss.

And just recently, a murder case had occurred.

Upon further consideration, if the world had indeed started transitioning from a regular script to a variant script, the chances of being affected were probably high.

It's just that Luo Kai had extracted the Script Space at the beginning, possibly just missing the transformation period or perhaps exactly during it.

His script collapsed quite unjustly!

"Big brother, where are you hiding? Come out and help!"

Sucker yelled with a full voice from a distance.

Xu Shuo came back to his senses slightly and looked toward the place obstructed by houses, where a bloated and distended dark shadow kept inching closer.

The monster's voice, like a laugh mixed with sobs, was a cacophony of numerous overlapping tones, noisy and messy, making people feel irritated upon hearing it.

An evil, chilly Qi wandered through the village, as if contained in some kind of sticky medium, terrible and nauseating, all the unknown sights instinctively made one shiver.

"You guys, are you a special organization that deals with this kind of thing?"

Suddenly, the nearby armed policeman asked with a very strange expression.

In his eyes, this young man appeared calm, mysteriously showing up inside their cordoned-off village, not surprised at all by the situation, and even had a corresponding method of dealing with it.

So, upon careful thought, do they often deal with such things?

Huaxia's mysterious Dragon Group?!

The situation seemed to suddenly become more fantastical…

However, Xu Shuo responded with a question: "Does our country really have such special organizations?"

Armed policeman: "..."

Boom!

In the interval of their brief exchange, a figure burst through the house in front, sending wood splinters flying as it shot directly towards them!

Xu Shuo quickly stepped aside.

Luo Kai, who had been flung forward, tumbled onto the ground and then rolled a couple of times, looking somewhat disheveled.

"What are you dodging…" Luo Kai got up, wobbling a bit.

"Ah, because you're all black and it's dark," Xu Shuo blinked. "I thought you were the monster."

"..."

He was dressed in a black hoodie, black trousers, and even his backpack was completely black, indeed blending into the surroundings at first glance.

But Luo Kai didn't think this guy couldn't recognize him.

With a somewhat speechless look at the young man, Luo Kai shifted his gaze back to the monster that was slithering their way.

Just now, it seemed the monster had absorbed enough Vitality to allow its body to swell even more, and at the moment it was estimated to be as tall as a two-story building.

Under the dim light, black dust fluttered in the air.

The floodlights set up around the village had been damaged quite a bit, and the remaining light illuminated the monster's current appearance.

Atop its swollen body, akin to a giant barrel, were heads of varying sizes pulsating as if with heartbeats, lacking facial features but emitting the sounds of infant wails mixed occasionally with joyous, playful laughter, chilling to the bone under the night sky.

It inched forward, leaving behind a trail of viscous black substance on the ground, emitting an unbearable stench.

This thing was slowly approaching, radiating a sense of horror!

Luo Kai frowned and said, "As for the current situation, it seems beyond my ability to resolve alone. Do you have any good ideas?"

"Does 'seems beyond my ability to resolve' mean 'it's solvable but inconvenient'? Do you have any methods?" Xu Shuo continued to press.

"…The monster just now absorbed quite a bit of energy. When a head explodes, it can create a strong shockwave with a radius of five meters, and the scattered remnants can be absorbed back, making it hard to deal with," Luo Kai said. "And I can't use my Blood Flame ability right now."

If he could trigger his own power, he could easily incinerate this thing.

But their current restrictions had not yet been lifted.

Upon hearing this, Xu Shuo opened his Player's Handbook and looked at the item column, asking, "How about Purification Talisman Paper?"

"Tried that, minimal effect."

"Sealing Item?"

"You have a Sealing Item that can be used?" Luo Kai's eyes brightened.

"You don't?" Xu Shou raised an eyebrow.

"I do, but I can't take it out. It seems my power exceeds the limit this world can handle," Luo Kai said, spreading his hands.

"Then why don't you go to the Script Space now and buy a regular one?" Xu Shuo countered.

"…" Luo Kai.

He truly hadn't thought of that.

But going into the Script Space in the middle of a fight means you don't want your body or life anymore, right?

The two stared at each other for a while before Luo Kai reluctantly conceded, "Alright, I'll go buy one now. In the meantime, keep an eye on the situation here and don't let me get eaten."

Xu Shuo nodded sincerely, "Mhm!"

But Luo Kai didn't trust him, so he turned to the dumbfounded armed police officer, who had been unable to get a word in, and took his hands, saying, "Brother, remember you must protect me at all costs! I am your only hope for survival!"

The armed police officer: "…Huh?"

Before he could process it, the man in front of him shut his eyes, and his body fell toward him, driven by gravity.

The armed police officer quickly caught the man who had lost consciousness without warning and stared, bewildered, at the young man beside him.

Xu Shuo waved his hand toward him, "Just watch over him, that's all."

While saying this, Xu Shuo stepped in the opposite direction.

As he moved, the monster that had been inching closer to them also changed direction, following him with cries of laughter and sobs.

It was indeed attracted to him...

Giving it a blank look, Xu Shuo caught its gaze, but the next moment, as if encouraged, the monster charged even more excitedly towards him!

Xu Shuo: "…"

This really felt like the time he just casually glanced outside the electric net, and then the monster erupted.

Got it, when encountering strange events in the future, the first thing to do is to blindfold oneself.

As long as there's no direct eye contact, you won't notice me!

If earlier the monster was just strolling, now it was barreling towards him with the speed of a child running excitedly.

After creating some distance, Xu Shuo stopped retreating and stood still, watching the monster come closer.

He unfolded a dark green staff, a slender stick over a meter long that looked entirely nonthreatening, but it was this fragile-looking weapon that effortlessly bashed in the heads of several Little Ghosts!

[Staff of the Baseless: Even though it's the tool of a mage who saw through illusion, it might become your handy weapon.]

Xu Shuo felt that the system's description hadn't misled at all.
