There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game Chapter 617

Chapter 617: Chapter 535 Shi: Hang in there, I’ll be right back!

Chapter 617: Chapter 535 Shi: Hang in there, I’ll be right back!

The first ti soone seriously referred to him as disgusting, Shi felt slightly disoriented.

And while Los remained cold and serious as he issued his warning, he took the opportunity to retreat before the judge recovered their senses to continue the negotiations.

Shi wanted to say sothing but hesitated.

He glanced at Los’s retreating figure, then toward the direction of the apartnt, his expression troubled.

The Tower of Judgnt and the Sixth Palace both belong to the Script Space, but their relationship isn’t exactly hierarchical, nor do they intersect in any direct way.

...

In fact, so special Subspaces can bypass the Tower of Judgent and be directly managed by the Sixth Palace, and only after the Sixth Palace delegates authority can the “Judges” intervene.

Of course, all duties related to the order of the real world outside of the Subspaces belonged to the Tower of Judgnt.

That was the reason why Shi had so firmly counterargued just now.

But regarding how to handle those players and creatures living in the world, the Tower of Judgnt wasn’t the sole decision-maker because they were more like pure enforcers of Order.

Now that the Sixth Palace had set its target and strictly ordered the Tower of Judgnt not to interfere, Shi really couldn’t find a reason to refute it.

So what exactly did the Sixth Palace want with that person?

Shi was debating whether to be genial or not when he received the ssage from the opposite party first.

Xu Shuo: [Is the situation resolved?]

Shi suddenly rembered that he had left abruptly without a chance to say goodbye.

Shi: [Sorry, I wasn’t able to tell you earlier.

I sensed other forces interfering with my detection nearby, so I tracked down the source, but now the problem is sowhat resolved, or not resolved at all.]

Xu Shuo: [Who is it?]

Shi contemplated the chat panel for a while.

Shi: [Do you know about the Sixth Palace?]

Xu Shuo: [Go into detail.]

Xu Shuo: [Or you could co over and tell face to face?]

Shi hesitated upon reading this ssage, then raised his head to survey the silent surroundings, as if cautiously observing if there would be any eavesdroppers hidden in the shadows.

After all, if the person’s spiritual power was enough to interfere with his detection, their strength was at least on par with his own.

If they were to conceal their presence and secretly observe him from nearby, he might not be able to detect them at all.

With this thought, Shi tentatively took a small step towards the direction of the apartnt.

Then, another small step.

And one more.

The next mont, his silhouette abruptly vanished!

In a high-rise building not far from this location,

Los impassively watched the judge head toward the apartnt after turning around, and he pushed up his black-frad glasses on the bridge of his nose.

A warning was a warning, and prevention was a different matter.

He wouldn’t actually prevent the judge’s actions.

Doing so would only alarm him and might lead the Tower of Judgnt to pay closer attention to what the Sixth Palace was doing.

The current situation was just right.

Themis had received the first warning, violated the second, and to avoid further conflict with the Sixth Palace, he wouldn’t dare to breach the third warning—continuing to investigate that person.

This was his true intention!

It was apparent that Xu Shuo also seed to enjoy extracting information from this judge.

Even though he could stop the judge, he couldn’t prevent Xu Shuo from approaching on his own…

So he had to settle for the next best thing.

Los let out a heavy sigh and was about to pack up and rest when he suddenly received another ssage from a teammate.

: [Damn it!

Look at this guy!]

: [Is there sothing wrong with him?]

: [His skill column is completely off, right?

And aren’t these Character Cards a bit too much?

Is he really just a level two newbie??]

: [Boss, could he be our target?]

Los silently looked at Xu Shuo’s player panel.

It was as if a glaring flaw had slapped him in the face, rendering him speechless.

The fellow was more than just problematic on his own; it seed everything he touched might eventually turn into a BUG, right?

He suddenly rembered sothing an employee who was debugging a program had said this morning: “What’s the use of celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival?

We are only fit to spend it with BUGs.”

Destroy it all.

…

…

At seven o’clock in the evening.

Xu Xi had finished the zongzi and was studying computer-related books in her room, while Xu Shuo was washing the dishes in the kitchen.

At that mont, Shi appeared suddenly like a thief with a guilty conscience.

He sat at the dining table, cautiously releasing his spiritual power to scout the surroundings.

He finally confird that no one from the Sixth Palace had followed him.

He hadn’t expected the other party to trust him so much.

This discovery made Shi feel sowhat guilty, although upon reflection, he couldn’t quite pinpoint why he should feel this way.

After all, he had never agreed to give any warning from the beginning.

When Xu Shuo turned around after finishing the dishes, he saw Shi sitting there with a serious expression, looking quite imposing, who had appeared without notice.

“Is it so kind of troubleso matter?” Xu Shuo asked.

“Ah, not really troubleso, it’s just that there might be so conflicts between us regarding the allocation of work,” Shi explained diplomatically.

“Are the Sixth Palace and the Tower of Judgnt almost the sa in the Script Space?” Xu Shuo raised an eyebrow.

He rembered hearing words like “Fourth Palace” and “Fifth Palace” from Themis before, and if he connected the dots, there might also be a “First, Second, Third, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth Palace,” which wouldn’t be surprising either.

As for the Judgent, Xu Shuo first heard about it from Hong Rao.

It was said to be so beings specifically responsible for maintaining the order of the Script Space.

Hong Rao appeared to hold such beings in great awe since they seed to control the existence or extinction qualifications of the Script Space and the Script Worlds.

In fact, judging by the thods used by Themis, the Judgents might indeed have this capability.

But apart from the existence of the “Tower of Judgnt” in the Script Space, it seed that there were other forces that could be ntioned in the sa breath?

Xu Shuo really wanted to know what those “Palaces” did.

“Actually, they’re like us, maintaining the order of various worlds.”

After confirming that Los wasn’t nearby, Shi started to disclose so information with a little more ease, “You can think of them as branches of the police, with different types managing different scopes, it’s just that we Judgents oversee a slightly broader area.”

Xu Shuo asked, “So what exactly do these places do?”

Shi was a bit embarrassed, “Details about the Script Space are not to be disclosed.”

Xu Shuo: Then what’s the use of you?

He had called Shi back because he thought it would be easier to extract information face-to-face than online—at least face-to-face there could be ambiguous verbal enticents.

However, although Shi was naive in character, he held very tightly to principle matters.

He couldn’t uncover any deeper information.

Xu Shuo suddenly felt like an unscrupulous man, coldly stating without expression, “I see, it’s getting late, I’m preparing to rest.”

The implication was clear: You can leave now.

Shi scratched his head, “Also, there’s one more thing I need to tell you.

The defense line I set up might have so problems, so it’s probably not very effective against the Abyss erosion right now.

I need to go back to the Tower of Judgnt and ask soone about it.”

Xu Shuo: “…What?”

If the “defense line” didn’t work, wouldn’t that be like erecting a shining beacon in the darkness, except the beacon lacked the strength to repel invaders?!

This guy was too unreliable for soone who served as a Judge?!

Seemingly perceiving Xu Shuo’s shock, Shi sheepishly took out a square silver cube.

It was the familiar Rule Item— “Within the Cube.”

This object could unfold to perfectly shield against two energy impacts of any magnitude.

During their first encounter, Shi had left it with Xu Shuo as collateral, which he later redeed for two million.

Ti had passed, and now it had returned.

Shi said, “Because of your constitution, most of the Abyss erosion will likely occur around you.

You take this to shield yourself for a few days.

As soon as I find out the cause, I’ll co right back to reform the defense line!”

This was the real reason Shi had co to find him tonight.

As for the person from the Sixth Palace, Shi strangely didn’t much feel like talking to them anymore.

Looking at the cube, Xu Shuo suddenly asked, “So if I don’t use it up, are you going to take it back later?”

Shi was stunned, “No.”

Xu Shuo happily put the object away.

It was just for a few days after all.
