There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game Chapter 591

Chapter 591: Chapter 511: Ghost Ship Chapter 591: Chapter 511: Ghost Ship On the other side.

Xu Shuo probably knew that soone was digging into his identity, but he didn’t know how far they had gotten.

He pondered for a mont, feeling that he, for the ti being, seed to lack a way to respond.

Indeed, pride cos before a fall.

Since Hong Rao had co over and chatted for quite a while, Xu Shuo, judging by the ti, thought it was probably about right, and thus he got up and left the Script Space.

Approaching five in the afternoon, the sky outside was still clear and bright.

Upon opening his eyes, Xu Shuo acutely sensed that his ho was too quiet, eerily still apart from his own breathing.

...

He got out of bed, opened the door to check, and sure enough, Xu Xi was nowhere to be seen.

She must have gone out to play, right?

Xu Shuo went back to his bed to pick up his phone, and indeed, there was a text ssage Xu Xi left before she went out.

ï¼»Lily’s asked to hang out in Heiyu District.ï¼½

The ssage was sent at half-past one in the afternoon.

He was probably just getting back to his room to nap when she went out.

But with final exams over and the weekend here, it’s understandable that girls would want to et up and stroll around.

Xu Shuo expressed his understanding.

He asked if she would be back for dinner.

She replied promptly.

Xu Xi: ï¼»I’ll be back late, save so dinner.ï¼½

Xu Shuo: ï¼»Okay.ï¼½

Seeing this, the two girls would likely be out late, so he didn’t need to cook dinner too soon.

After thinking it over, Xu Shuo turned and lay back down on the bed.

The reason he left the Script Space on schedule was mainly that he felt sleeping for too long might arouse suspicion, but now the person who might be suspicious wasn’t here.

So there was nothing to fear!

Xu Shuo excitedly settled himself back in, but before he could re-enter the Script Space, the phone suddenly rang.

But who would call at this hour?

Li Ziwen should be able to handle the studio’s affairs at the mont, and Xu Shuo didn’t seem to have any collaborations with any bosses planned recently.

Of course, if this call was about an investnt, even better!

However, Xu Shuo’s hopeful mood evaporated as soon as he saw the caller’s na.

It was Luo Kai.

Thinking about it closely, before entering the Script Space, he had explained the situation about the underground car park at Hetai Intersection to him just that morning.

So, unsurprisingly, it should be about that matter.

“Hello?” Xu Shuo answered the call, expressionless.

“…Why does your voice sound so frightening,” Luo Kai choked out from the other end.

Xu Shuo hadn’t drunk water nor spoken for three hours; his voice was indeed a bit deep and hoarse, further strained by his deliberately suppressed tone.

He asked indifferently, “What’s up?”

Luo Kai, regaining his composure, continued, “I know you don’t like dealing with this kind of thing, but just now, another area in Sun City has experienced a problem similar to Abyss erosion.”

Xu Shuo frowned, “Which area?”

Luo Kai: “Xinnan District.”

Xinnan District is located at the southernmost tip of Sun City, bordering Sanjiang, with several ports and docks serving as Sun City’s only sea outlets.

And this ti, the issue that occurred—

Fishern encountered a ghost ship on the river.

Within less than an hour, fishern on that boat died from strange symptoms—rotting all over and encased in a black cocoon by so dark substance.

After the fishern reported to authorities, the governnt quickly took over the case and urgently contacted Luo Kai, who was still in Sun City.

After hearing about it, Luo Kai first went to the scene to have a look himself.

However, the strange thing was that the stinking, black substance was indeed sothing that could be produced by the Abyss, but he did not detect any Abyss Domain nearby, and therefore the radar in the Player’s Handbook was not granted permission to activate.

With the situation being so eerie, he definitely wouldn’t stir the pot alone.

So he promptly contacted Xu Shuo.

Xu Shuo, after listening, frowned, “…”

Honestly.

Are there too many Abyss Creatures in Sun City these days?

More importantly, that tall tower defense line set up by Themis seed pretty much like a re display.

The day it was set up, the underground garage cracked open an Abyss; the next day, a creepy ghost ship appeared on the river.

One might worry that by tomorrow, the whole Sun City would turn into sheer chaos.

Such frequency had never happened before!

With this in mind, Xu Shuo had reasons to suspect that those creatures were attracted by the defense line!

But since the incidents kept occurring on Sun City’s side, all too close to his own den, Xu Shuo, even if he didn’t want to expose himself in front of the real-world Abyss, had no choice but to go take a look.

“I’ll head over now.”

He sighed, resigned to getting up again.

Luo Kai also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“I’ve sent you the address.”

After hanging up the phone.

Xu Shuo glanced at the address, got up to wash and change clothes, and before leaving, he looked at the kitchen and decided to send a ssage to Xu Xi.

[I have sothing to deal with and will probably not make it back in ti for dinner.

You should eat out and co back after that.]

It took a while for the other side to reply.

[Okay.]

[Be careful on the road.]

[Co back early.]

…

…

anwhile, in Heiyu District.

Radiant Ga Studio.

In the new office area set aside for the new project, project director Pei Sheng was busy recruiting talented staff, while the sole employee, Los, sat in front of the computer, concentrating on programming artificial intelligence.

Because both people and equipnt were not yet in place, the project hadn’t officially started.

But before that, Los planned to create so simple ga data first.

His earlier judgnt was off; it was extrely difficult to create an imrsive holographic ga with the technology of this world.

Forcing a technological advancent could also potentially cause chaos in the world order.

So, having no choice, Los had to settle for the next best thing.

At least the results had to be good enough to please the big boss, so as not to end up jumping off a building with the director, right?

Los was absorbed in saving his boss’s life, but at that mont, his typing suddenly paused, and then he thoughtfully looked up in a certain direction.

—Didn’t he say he was resting at ho today?

So why was that person moving again, and with such a targeted intention towards—Abyss Darkness.

He really had no clue about his own talent for attracting monsters.

Of course, it wasn’t too polite for him to criticize that person.

Los’s mind was turbulent with thoughts; then, saving the data, he stood up prepared to leave his post.

But just as he stood up, he hesitated.

Beneath the thick, black glasses, a hint of golden-red flickered across his deep black eyes.

Los received a ssage from between the cracks in space and ti.

Then he decisively declined the request for help from those two won.

Don’t think he didn’t know what they were up to.

His sister might genuinely want to help, but Angela would surely be coming to cause trouble!

After cutting off contact with the Sixth Palace, Los turned and left his post and began to walk out, but halfway there, he encountered the nonchalant project director.

The director looked over as well.

Los stopped in his tracks and politely greeted him.

Pei Sheng curiously asked, “I was just about to find you for sothing.

Where are you off to?”

Los replied calmly, “Restroom.”

Pei Sheng nodded, “Oh, then hurry along.”

There were no restrooms inside the studio, but there were public restrooms on each floor of the office building.

Watching Los leave with his head down, Pei Sheng’s inquisitive gaze suddenly froze, and he looked puzzled.

Because he noticed that this guy’s glasses were shaped like semi-circles!

Ordinary glasses usually have a right-angle bend at the part where they rest on the ears, but this person’s glasses had sharp angles!

The entire stem was practically hooked over the ear!

With glasses like that, if one were to suddenly remove them, they would probably get caught behind the ear.

Pei Sheng: “…” Was that really necessary?

It was just that last ti he had carelessly taken your glasses, was there really a need to switch to such non-mainstream arms afterward?

Pei Sheng silently tugged at the corner of his mouth and, upon entering the studio, saw Li Ziwen interacting with the staff not far away.

He raised his hand to greet him.

But the next mont, Pei Sheng’s gaze suddenly stiffened.

It was as if pink bubbles were floating in the air, the atmosphere around him turned ambiguous and heated, and similarly, Li Ziwen’s profiled half-face seed particularly captivating.

His heart shafully began to pound violently!

Pei Sheng: “???”

…
