Chapter 972: Chapter 782 Unrestrained Capital_2

Xu Shuo paused: “So what?”

Pei Hong: “We’ll see.”

Without further words, the two exchanged a knowing glance and parted ways.

…

…

Driving to Heiyu District.

Xu Shuo finally had ti to open the flashing red dot in the upper-right corner of his interface and check the ssages in the Player’s Handbook.

Luo Kai bombarded him with countless ssages.

The first thing that caught his eye.

Was the last ssage:

[See, what a cute little girl. Without clothes, this is how she looks…]

Xu Shuo: “?”

What kind of pervert?

While waiting at a red light, Xu Shuo controlled his consciousness to scroll through the chat log—quickly skimming through Luo Kai’s ssages at lightning speed.

Xu Shuo paused, then clicked on the “Square” feature to check the forum.

But as soon as he clicked.

A system notification popped up: [Script Space is undergoing maintenance and upgrades.]

During this maintenance, scripts cannot be accessed, perford scripts cannot be viewed, other players’ personal spaces are inaccessible, and the Player Square is off-limits.

However, ssaging and item functions remained operational.

So that’s why Xu Shuo hadn’t noticed the maintenance earlier.

Seeing this.

Xu Shuo chose not to respond to Luo Kai but instead closed the Player’s Handbook and took his phone out to call Captain Zheng.

The call was quickly connected.

[“Mr. Xu, I’ve already received the information you provided.”]

“Where is Luo Kai now?”

[“Mr. Luo just entered the large discount mall at the Hetai Intersection on Peace Street, near your residence. It seems that the area has beco Another Dinsional Space.”]

“Then I’ll head to Peach Blossom Street first.”

[“Ah…”]

The person on the other side hesitated.

Xu Shuo mused, “What’s wrong?”

[“Mr. Luo has been inside for ten minutes without sending any updates. Our equipnt here can’t detect his status either.”]

Hearing this.

Xu Shuo had no choice but to open the Player’s Handbook again.

And send a ssage within the system.

After a while, there was still no reply.

Perhaps he was really busy.

So busy he didn’t even have ti to glance at the Player’s Handbook.

Xu Shuo furrowed his brows imdiately.

But the situation on Peach Blossom Street in Heiyu District remained unclear—after all, it was a 4th-level Abyss, and likely connected to so monster from a script.

Or maybe it was connected to him…

Wait, doesn’t it seem like nothing tonight has been unrelated to him?

The traffic light turned green.

Xu Shuo continued driving toward Heiyu District while pondering.

Although Luo Kai ntioned that the monster had so degree of independent thought.

The monster’s temperant remained unpredictable.

No one knew how long it could stay calm.

[“Mr. Xu?”]

The patient voice from the phone interrupted his thoughts.

Xu Shuo ca back to his senses and replied, “Got it. I’ll check out Peace Street first. By the way, Yangcheng Security Bureau has been developing for over a month now, and yet you’ve only found this few players?”

Captain Zheng sighed on the other end.

[“Mr. Xu, high-level Ability Users like you and Mr. Luo are rare. Most seem to have just recently entered that world.”]

“…Understood.”

Xu Shuo had more to say.

But ultimately held back.

After hanging up the call.

Xu Shuo glanced at the date displayed on his phone screen.

—After all, he himself had only started accessing Script Space not long ago.

But according to Hong Rao.

Because he often participated in scripts beyond his current stage, he earned disproportionately high experience points, leading to a faster upgrade pace.

For others at this stage.

Even with daily script runs, they should have barely reached Level 2.

While Xu Shuo was already Level 3.

However…

Xu Shuo remained skeptical about such logic.

Because wasn’t Luo Kun upgrading just as quickly?!

How hasn’t he dropped dead yet?

…

…

At the discount mall near Hetai Intersection on Peace Street.

Xu Shuo’s car pulled up to the intersection. Upon stepping out, he noticed the mall surrounded by police tape and a young man in white clothing standing near the cordon.

The young man was wearing a visor-style helt, staring intently in the direction of the mall.

“Mr. Xu!”

Captain Zheng hastily approached.

Xu Shuo glanced at the young man before turning to Captain Zheng: “Is there any spread?”

If the Abyss Darkness were continuously spreading outward, it would indicate unstable expansion. If there was no spread, the situation inside was likely relatively stable.

Fortunately, there was no spreading.

Unfortunately, anyone who entered would vanish instantly.

Captain Zheng initially planned for the Security Bureau’s action team to investigate the area and formulate a strategy, but whether it was personnel or instrunts, anything that entered the range instantly lost all connection.

Luo Kai also lost contact after entering.

Leaving them completely in the dark about the situation within.

“What is that?”

After hearing the updates, Xu Shuo asked curiously, pointing at the young man’s helt.

Captain Zheng explained it again, the sa way he had previously explained to Luo Kai.

As expected, Xu Shuo also grew intrigued.

Although he didn’t try it out on the spot like Luo Kai had.

He already knew the device could only see through superficial illusions but couldn’t probe deeper into that space. It wasn’t worth wasting ti on.

Xu Shuo directly activated his radar to check the Abyss level.

[Abyss Level: 4.]

Level 4…

No wonder Luo Kai had been inside for so long.

Xu Shuo’s eyes flickered as he recalled Hong Rao’s constant warnings.

—Thanks to her endless nagging, Xu Shuo instantly beca alert at the re ntion of a 4th-level Abyss.

But he couldn’t help but wonder.

Was a 4th-level Abyss really this terrifying?

Even his current spiritual power couldn’t resist?

Driven by curiosity, Xu Shuo took steps toward the police tape, stopping precisely one ter away from it.

Sothing seed to be ahead.

But from his perspective, it was rely half the street leading to the mall, illuminated by moonlight reflecting eerily on the surface.

“Mr. Xu, you…”

Captain Zheng was about to caution him to investigate carefully before entering, but before he could finish speaking, Xu Shuo suddenly stepped forward.

In the instant his foot touched the border.

The young man’s figure vanished on the spot.

And at the sa mont, the helted young man exclaid: “I saw it.”

Captain Zheng imdiately turned to him, his gaze lit up.

“What did you see?”

The young man seriously replied: “When he disappeared, red light appeared around him.”

Captain Zheng: “…”

He had thought the young man saw what lay inside.

Captain Zheng sighed helplessly.

Now all they could do was pin their hopes on those two inside.

…

…

On the rooftop of a building near Hetai Intersection.

Los sat at the edge of the rooftop, staring expressionlessly at the discount mall below. He made no attempt to hide, yet the drones circling in the sky ignored his presence entirely.

Seeing the young man’s resolute stride into the Abyss, Los sighed in resignation.

He knew why the man acted so recklessly.

Just as the Abyss threatened to expose players across the world.

That man kept forcing him to intervene more often.

Though he could intervene.

Keeping this pace over ti—would stifle emotional growth and trigger frequent actions from the Sixth Palace, ultimately alerting other main gods to anomalies in this world.

This would lead them directly to discovering that man’s existence.

Especially the Tower of Judgnt.

Los truly despised the Tower of Judgnt, loathed its Judgents, and detested its Orders.

Because Order was rely a rigid procedure.

Devoid of any emotion.

Procedures wouldn’t speak of the infinite possibilities borne from emotions; they would only rigidly enforce that anything erroneous shouldn’t exist.

Even Themis…

Ultimately, she would be no different.
