There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game Chapter 612

Chapter 612: Chapter 530 Judgent: I’m Here!

Chapter 612: Chapter 530 Judgent: I’m Here!

Luo Kai said with a grave expression, “In order to investigate this matter, I even went out to sea to make sure there were no Abyss Creatures lurking nearby before I could set my mind at ease.

After all, if there’s an overlap in the tilines, then…

I don’t even want to think about what might happen.”

In short, Luo Kai let out a heavy sigh of frustration.

In a dazed mont, he sohow felt that his current state of mind was eerily in sync with Xu’s—Who am I?

Where am I?

...

What am I supposed to do?

What have I experienced?

Which parts are dreams?

What’s reality?

Which parts…

Luo Kai’s mind wandered.

Seeing his state, Xu Shuo cut into his thoughts, offering comfort, “At least we’ve identified these problems if you look at the bright side.”

Luo Kai suddenly snapped back to reality, giving Xu Shuo a strange look, “Just tell the truth, did you take care of that monster?”

Xu Shuo shook his head honestly, “It wasn’t .

That Great Sea Monster died as soon as it appeared, it didn’t last even ten seconds.

Does that sound like sothing I could do?”

“…” Luo Kai fell into deep thought.

He looked at Xu Shuo, suspicion plainly written all over his face.

Then it occurred to him that since his suspicions had gone this far, there was no point for the other man to continue hiding his true capabilities.

Plus, the level indicated on the other party’s Player’s Handbook clearly said “Level Two”.

Script Space wouldn’t be helping him cheat, would it?

So…

could it be that there’s actually a high-level player staying in this world, specifically to protect this guy?

Luo Kai’s mind fluttered.

He swallowed down his soda and asked in a lowered voice, “Have you finished discussing your cooperation terms with the authorities?”

Xu Shuo looked up at him and nodded.

Luo Kai continued, “Did they later press you about that…

What’s his na again…

(Opens Player’s Handbook to check the na) that Themis?”

“Aren’t you expecting it?” said Xu Shuo.

“So, did you tell them everything?”

“You’ve already told them all that could be said, haven’t you?” Xu Shuo shrugged, “So, Captain Zheng stopped halfway through and said there was no need to go on.”

“…” Luo Kai.

“Is there anything else?”

“What are your terms for cooperating with the authorities?”

Stroking his chin, Xu Shuo said with slight satisfaction, “Limited cooperation with Yangcheng Branch only, a monthly salary of five hundred thousand, and commissions of over a million.”

Imdiately, Luo Kai clutched his heart in agony and gritted his teeth, “That’s outrageous!

They didn’t offer a monthly salary!”

Xu Shuo was indifferent, “Aren’t you cooperating with the Safety Bureau headquarters?”

“What else could it be?

My family has so connections with the authorities; even if I didn’t want to, I wouldn’t be able to stay out of these matters,” Luo Kai said with a twist of his mouth.

“At what player level can one travel between worlds?” Xu Shuo suddenly asked.

“Ah?

Usually, after passing the Level Four assessnt, one can apply,” said Luo Kai.

Luo Kai didn’t believe that he was unaware of this, and with an inscrutable look, he said, “Of course, there are so special players who aren’t subject to this restriction.

They can use the Script Space connections to apply for privileges, such as mbership in guilds, a ntor, or having a high-level player as a friend.”

Xu Shuo nodded, “Are you a mber of any Script guild now?”

“I’ve never been part of one.

Why, are you inviting ?

Which guild are you with?” Luo Kai crossed his legs casually, showing interest.

“No, I was just asking out of curiosity,” Xu Shuo shook his head.

Luo Kai twisted his mouth.

Honestly, if the guild Xu Shuo was with invited him, Luo Kai really entertained the thought of going over to investigate.

After all, it was a rare opportunity to et a player in the real world, especially one who had so connection with the Script Space’s most mysterious ‘Judgent’.

This really sparked his curiosity.

Judgent was a very special existence.

They usually appeared to maintain the Order of the script, world, and space.

This ant that Judgent might be directly linked to the unfathomable existence of Script Space, so for a long ti, players in Script Space treated ‘Judgent’ like an antivirus program.

If it weren’t for the sudden appearance of “Themis”, Luo Kai, too, would have continued to look at Judgent that way.

To think that Judgent could possess self-consciousness?

It sounded even more intriguing.

Unfortunately, other than their contact during the last ‘Defense Line’ incident, Luo Kai hadn’t had any more encounters with Themis, who seed awfully aloof.

Ah, how he wished he could cling to the thick legs of a gaming big shot too.

…

The two then chatted about so matters regarding the existence of the Safety Bureau and then went their separate ways.

Allowing himself a half-day off for Dragon Boat Festival was the limit for Xu Shuo, since many chose to go ho for rest, making Xu Shuo’s work in the coming days increasingly busy.

After the man had left, Luo Kai also put away the painting on the table.

At this mont, the Safety Bureau gave him a call:

“Mr.

Luo, we’ve found the wreckage of that ship.”

After hanging up the phone, Luo Kai had an indecipherable look in his eyes.

In the past three days, although the black ship had not appeared again, the officials still diligently searched day and night in the waters near Qiong City and Yangcheng.

Fortunately, through Luo Kai’s repeated travels between the Script Space and the real world, they had narrowed down the location to a rough range, preventing the search from being a hopeless endeavor like finding a needle in the ocean.

But what he had not expected was this.

The Daping Hao was indeed on the ocean floor.

Luo Kai suddenly rembered his recent conversation with Xu Shuo.

Did the other person suddenly ask him “At what level can one traverse worlds” out of genuine ignorance and casual curiosity?

If one were to think deeper,

It seed like a signal, an attitude.

Luo Kai turned his head to look at the bustling street outside, suddenly let out a wistful sigh, and then guzzled down a big gulp of soda as if it were fine wine.

After spending so ti together, Luo Kai had also noticed that the guy’s emotional fluctuations were actually quite limited.

Although he always wore a pleasing smile, seed gentle and courteous on the surface, and occasionally showed discontent and annoyance,

In reality, he hardly ever let his true emotions burst forth.

It was as if he was performing.

He could portray contentedness, anticipation, even sincerity in his displeasure – perhaps deceiving even his subconscious into believing that this was how he truly felt at the mont.

But in truth, he felt nothing at all internally!

Not a single emotion, all just an act!

In comparison, his seemingly indifferent and emotionless sister, Xu Xi, actually exhibited more intense emotional swings.

The personalities of the two siblings were indeed the opposite; one was warm on the outside but cold on the inside, the other cold on the outside but warm inside.

But if asked whom he preferred to be around, Luo Kai felt it was Xu Xi who was easier to get along with.

After all, from the investigations, at least she appeared to just be a bit aloof on the surface, but was in fact quite willing to help others.

Unlike that person who said “Hmm hmm” with his mouth but “Heh heh” in his heart.

And it wasn’t just him who noticed; perhaps the Safety Bureau had realized this, too, which is why they wanted to sanction that “culprit” from the past to help them gain a sense of social acceptance.

Because his indifference wasn’t only manifested in his emotions or behaviors.

It was a silent kind of indifference, indifferent to the existence or demise of the world.

“Burp—”

Luo Kai finished off half a bottle of soda in one gulp.

Then he belched a long, fruity burp and felt surprisingly as if he might be a bit tipsy.

He wasn’t like that person.

He actually quite liked this world.

This was also why Luo Kai would commit himself wholeheartedly to the Safety Bureau’s work; although he styled himself a Wanderer, he still had plenty of friends and family in this world.

Hold on a mont…

At this thought, Luo Kai suddenly paused.

He couldn’t really be tipsy from the soda and starting to overthink, could he?

After all—the guy’s sister never seed like a player, she was destined to stay in this world!

So could that guy really leave?

Luo Kai tilted his head and furrowed his brows in thought for a while.

And at last, he was certain.

Yeah, he was definitely overthinking it.

Even if that person could feel nothing for the entire world, it was impossible for him to feel nothing for his own blood sister!

…

…

Themis, who had been missing for a long ti, finally replied to his ssages.

Shi: [Sorry, I’ve been studying in the Tower of Judgnt these past few days, so I didn’t have ti to read ssages.]

Shi: [Maybe the defenses in that world are still not tight enough.

I’ll find ti to go over and reinforce them.

If there are still issues, Script Space might arrange for another Judgent to stay there permanently, so you don’t need to worry.]

Shi: [I’m coming over now!]
