There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Chapter 681: Chapter 582: This Defense Line Seems to Be Fake Chapter 681: Chapter 582: This Defense Line Seems to Be Fake Xu Xi searched all over Xu Shuo’s body for a long time and couldn’t find any wounds, only then did she completely relax her mind.

When Captain Zheng went out to contact headquarters, Luo Kai looked at Xu Shuo’s status under the Character Card, his expression somewhat peculiar.

“I say, the place where we’re standing right now, it doesn’t seem like we’ve entered the range defined by the system as the Abyss yet, so your abilities shouldn’t be nullified, right?” Luo Kai said.

It was precisely because of the system’s range determination that Luo Kai didn’t suggest evacuating the entire population of Heiyu District right away.

After all, that would be too exaggerated.

And too likely to cause panic.

...

The influence of the Abyss had only just begun to appear in this world; both the ordinary civilians who knew nothing and the official forces with brief exposure needed time to digest these abnormal changes.

No change happens overnight.

The longer they could delay, the better.

Upon hearing this, Xu Shuo directly shifted the blame, “Just now, I ran into someone related to the Script Space, maybe he did something.”

Xu Shuo didn’t know the actual reason, but probably hadn’t blamed the wrong party, right?

In any case, when in doubt, just blame it on the bug-ridden Script Space; what does it have to do with players without rights?

“Oh~~”

Luo Kai’s tone was heavily meaningful as he drew out the sound.

This guy really does have a mysterious backer.

So, Luo Kai seized the opportunity and said, “Since you mentioned he seems quite powerful, can that person help us solve the situation here?”

Xu Shuo shook his head, “He’s already run off.”

Luo Kai, “Run…

run off?”

“Oh not run off, he’s already left.”

“…”

You think just by switching the word and saying it again, you can pretend like nothing happened?

Never mind Judgement being unreliable!

Why are the people around this guy unreliable too?!

Luo Kai lit a cigarette with a stomachache and smoked it.

This world is really on the brink of disaster!

“Brother…”

It was after they finished this segment of the conversation.

Only then did Xu Xi tug on Xu Shuo’s clothes and ask softly, “Is everything you deal with always like what just happened?”

Xu Shuo patted her hair reassuringly, “Yes and no.

Actually, it’s not as dangerous as you think, because if I can’t beat it, I will run, just like now.”

Luo Kai by the side, “…”

This guy is boasting about running away as if it’s something to be proud of.

Xu Xi, hearing this, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

She knew she definitely couldn’t stop her brother from doing these things, so the only thing she could do was to make him feel a bit more concerned.

He must understand that he cannot fall anywhere outside of their home.

Call it selfish if you will.

This was the bottom line Xu Xi could live with inside her heart.

She actually didn’t mind her brother taking risks to save lives unrelated to them, nor did she mind him engaging in dangerous activities.

What she cared about was that Xu Shuo might pay with his life.

You can seek death, but you can’t die.

After all, courting death within one’s abilities was probably also a way of seeking breakthroughs.

Xu Xi gripped his clothes tightly and sat in the chair with a slight bow of her head.

Always expressionless, her face did not reveal any excess emotion.

Luo Kai, with a cigarette in his mouth, sat nearby, supporting his head with his hand as he observed the girl.

This pair of siblings was indeed quite odd.

But compared to the outwardly gentle but actually indifferent youth, Xu Xi just appeared to be a bit cold on the outside, but in reality, this girl was very easy to talk to and communicate with.

Suddenly, a figure walked in front of his line of sight, completely blocking Luo Kai’s view of Xu Xi.

He looked up and found himself making eye contact with a face just as expressionless as the youth’s.

Luo Kai’s mouth twitched and he mumbled through the cigarette, “I remember you said that your sister isn’t a player, right?”

Xu Shuo raised an eyebrow, “And then?”

Luo Kai nodded towards the window, “But her spirituality seems stronger than that of ordinary people.

You better prepare some protective amulets for her, or she’ll be easily affected by the Abyss.”

The girl seemed to have seen the giant claw phantom as well.

And the first one to suggest evacuating this area was Xu Xi.

If she’s not a player, then she must be part of that gifted group of people in the real world who for some reasons were not chosen by the Script Space.

Script Space’s choice of players is also quite metaphysical.

Upon hearing this, Xu Shuo looked towards Xu Xi.

The little white flower necklace had been tucked into her sportswear by Xu Xi when she saw the official armed forces approaching, so Luo Kai didn’t see it.

In fact, there was no need for his reminder; Xu Shuo had always been preparing protective props for Xu Xi.

But every time she went out for a morning or evening run,

the girl didn’t bring the prop from “Within the Cube”.

Although that thing really was a bit too big…

Facing Xu Shuo’s slightly furrowed brows, Xu Xi seemed to realize something, and she said quietly while looking down, “I’ll bring a bag the next time I go out.”

Luo Kai suddenly said, “If you don’t have any convenient protective props, I have some here.

Do you want to buy?”

This guy seemed to suddenly expose his purpose.

Xu Shuo asked, “What kind?”

Luo Kai, with great enthusiasm, rummaged through his backpack, “Although I can only offer some low-level, non-attack props, there are protective, resistance, and alarm types…”

Xu Shuo asked, “And the unit of transaction?”

“Points.”

“Forget it.”

“…They’re very cheap, take a look first.”

“Why wouldn’t I buy from my own mentor instead?”

“Really super cheap!

Not even in the double digits!”

“Let me see.”

“…”

Xu Xi obediently sat on the side, watching them haggle expertly, and then a bunch of glowing objects were laid out on the table.

Feeling the energy within that radiance, Xu Xi blinked.

…

…

Elsewhere at this time.

Though Los seemed to have run off, he hadn’t actually fled.

He had just stealthily entered the Tall Tower’s defenses, adeptly deploying the world’s spatial barriers, preparing to check on the Abyss’s erosion.

Then he discovered…

These defenses seemed to be a sham.

“This Judgement’s a fake, isn’t it?”

Even Los was shocked.

Had this guy learned nothing in the Tower of Judgment?

Why couldn’t the defenses he crafted detect even the basic erosion of the Abyss, unless…

Oh, it had to do with that being.

Then there was no issue.

It wasn’t that Themis couldn’t create defenses, quite the contrary, the defenses he left behind in other worlds were flawless.

It’s just this world might be a bit special.

Judgement couldn’t actively affect this world.

This was a bit of a problem.

But leaving the defenses unrepaired wasn’t an option either.

Los sighed with tiredness in his heart, his spirit immersed outside of space, reaching the place where the torrents of time and space existed, connecting with the Sixth Palace.

…

The Sixth Palace.

The long, straight-haired girl playing chess paused.

She looked up and said, “I need to make a trip; my brother wants me to get an authority from the First Palace.”

The red-haired woman opposite, mid-chew on a chess piece, hesitated, “What on earth is Los doing?

Why has he suddenly got mixed up with the First Palace again?

People there are not easy to deal with.”

The girl explained, “His world is facing an Abyss invasion.

That world is controlled by the First Palace.

The defenses left by Judgement are virtually useless; they can’t connect with that world to provide protection, so he asked me to go to the First Palace to get supervisory authority.”

The red-haired woman’s eyes lit up, “Now that’s interesting.

Why would the First Palace be directly in control of that world?

What exactly is inside it?”

It seemed like everyone was paying attention to that world.

The girl shook her head, “Not quite sure, my brother is still waiting, I should go now.”

“I’ll come with you!”

The red-haired woman casually grabbed a few more chess pieces and eagerly followed after.
