There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Chapter 684: Chapter 585: Mischievous Child Chapter 684: Chapter 585: Mischievous Child Luo Kai drew a circle of burning flames around the two of them and then stood above the creature, holding his sword and making gestures towards the ground.

Next, he took out a bottle of blood and poured it onto the sword.

The ruby at the hilt of the sword glowed brightly, absorbing all the fresh red blood.

The Patterned Han Sword floated between his fingers, its tip gently touching the ground, emitting circles of flaming light, while the silvery-white blade spread out patterns of flame.

In the darkness, only here was there the light of fire.

“Point it out for me, the exact position of that monster,” Luo Kai said in a low voice, solemnly closing his eyes.

“Three centimeters to the left,” Xu Shuo said.

...

The long sword moved slightly.

“Forward.”

“…”

“Stop.”

“…”

After that, both sides temporarily fell silent.

Xu Shuo stared intently at the ground while Luo Kai did not disturb him.

Surrounding them were chaotic and tumultuous sounds, the movements of monsters hissing and lunging, but none of these affected the two.

Spiritual power stirred in the darkness, passing through the thick and stagnant dark matter, agitating the creature that crouched in the corner.

It was like a slowly woven net, continuously tightening its ropes, constraining its space to move, forcing it to relocate and hide elsewhere.

Suddenly.

Xu Shuo abruptly exclaimed, “Now!”

Just as his words fell, the Patterned Han Sword instantly plunged into the depths of the earth!

The burning flame passed through the barrier of the ground and the oppression of the dark matter as if piercing through emptiness, appearing out of thin air and instantly stabbing into the creature’s body!

“Yi ya—!”

A sharp and piercing sonic wave suddenly burst forth, like a spike driven into one’s brain, then viciously stirred around!

The sound was like whimpering and laughing combined, resembling the hysterical screams of a woman, yet as piercing as the sharp wails of a crying infant.

With its screeching, the movements of the surrounding monsters lunging in attack grew even more frenzied!

“Ka ka ka…”

The disorderly creatures broke through the circle of flames and rushed in, slamming hard against the barrier; the blood-engorged eyes of the monsters stuck to the barrier wildly twitched, making one dizzy with just a glance.

Luo Kai opened his eyes, frowning slightly as he held his head.

Extending his right hand forward, he once again grasped the Patterned Han Sword that suddenly reappeared, turning to look at the monster that was now so close.

The monster immediately split open its massive mouth, emitting a fierce and ferocious scream that sounded like tearing through the air.

“Below,” Xu Shuo suddenly said.

Luo Kai quickly diverted his gaze and leaped backward, and the spot where he had just been standing was punctured by a claw.

Ka ka ka…

The sound of cracking that had arisen was not from the barrier but the ground itself.

The huge claw pressed against the ground, propping up its left half of the body; then another arm burst out from the adjoining ground, and pieces of cement bricks shattered.

A creature with baby fat crawled out from underground, assuming an upright stance like a human, but one side of its body showed molten lava-like burn marks, as if it had been split in two and then clumsily stitched back together.

The baby fat was not just a metaphor either.

The creature barely managed to have a human face.

Two eyes, a nose, a mouth, a huge head with puffed cheeks exuding youthfulness, it was like an oversized infant.

Though it had the stature of a two-headed being, when standing upright it was as tall as a three-story building, its bulky body massive and strong, its muscled arms covered in writhing black muscles, and its two sharp claws long and slender, capable of piercing through any substance with ease!

Luo Kai was taken aback, “What is this, King Kong Barbie?”

The King Kong Barbie opened its mouth wide, drips of sticky black substance falling from it, and then it let out a piercing scream towards the two of them!

“Yi ya—!”

Bang!

Crash!

This time, the spiritual barrier truly shattered!

The creature’s sonic waves carried a fierce erosion, sweeping across the paths of the Mind Network and rushing towards that central existence!

Xu Shuo’s brain suddenly reeled, then he quickly regained his senses, holding a bloodstained axe in his hand.

“Twenty seconds to deal with this thing!”

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Xu Shuo whispered.

Clutching his head in pain and furrowing his brows, Luo Kai’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Twenty seconds?

Are you serious?”

No sooner had his shock dissipated than he saw the young man’s aura take on a hint of danger, as he instantly flashed above the monster’s head, the light concentrating on the blade of the axe!

Chi—

The axe hacked fiercely onto the giant head of the baby monster, leaving a scorching trail in the darkness but failing to completely cleave through the head.

The monster let out a painful shriek; its blood-red eyes glaring fixedly at Xu Shuo while darkness roiled violently around it.

However, it couldn’t even twitch, standing frozen in place, neither dodging nor attacking!

[Special Skill ‘Brat Buster’ (Level One): When a target under the age of ten becomes angry with you, this skill can be activated, rendering the target immobile for 20 seconds.

After that, you can enjoy a good beating of the brat!

(Skill can be upgraded)]

Although Xu Shuo had only tentatively activated this skill, surprisingly, the Abyss Creature was deemed to be under ten years old.

Whether it referred to its actual age or its abyssal age was unknown.

In any case, Xu Shuo immediately activated the ‘Hunt Moment’ skill.

This was not a one-time skill; once the initial target was locked on, it could not switch to a second target for ten minutes.

Since it was about beating up the brat.

He may as well go all out with the dean’s skills!

The dumbfounded Luo Kai, realizing what was happening as he observed the monster’s impotent rage, sliced his own palm with his sword and charged forward!

But just as he leaped into the air, an ugly creature slammed into him head-on!

Alas, it was the very creature that had been eyeing him menacingly.

Luo Kai wielded his sword to slash the creature, landed on the ground, and then saw more monsters crossing through the ring of fire he’d left behind, their bodies aflame as they frenziedly lunged at him!

Looking towards Xu Shuo, he saw his figure flickering in and out of existence in mid-air; those creatures couldn’t catch even a glimpse of his shadow!

Xu Shuo’s axe continued to chop at the giant baby monster’s head, deepening the golden-burnt wound, the monster’s struggles growing more vigorous as ear-splitting sonic blasts overlapped wave upon wave!

“Yiyah—!”

It wasn’t just the Giant Baby Monster that was driven into a frenzy.

It was also those snarling little creatures, driven by its influence, becoming increasingly insane with anger and pain!

Facing the mad onslaught of countless monsters, Luo Kai continuously swung his sword, slashed, dodged, and then unavoidably, his sword-wielding arm was fiercely bitten by one of the monsters!

Luo Kai’s expression hardened; he grabbed the creature’s head with his left hand, and heat began to emanate!

Bam!

He crushed the creature’s head with his bare hands, turning it into flames, and then Luo Kai looked at the black contamination marks left on his arm and suddenly felt a little disheartened.

“Tsk…”

“Tsk-tsk…”

Why should that guy show off for twenty seconds

While I have to struggle so much in the same time?

Luo Kai stood sword in hand, his cut palm manipulating the Ruby on the hilt, which began to rotate wildly; intense flames rose from his body without any wind, and the sea of fire spread in an instant!

Boom—

The wind howled, fueling the flames!

The surrounding creatures immediately turned to ash!

Xu Shuo’s figure became static in mid-air, and as the flames from Luo Kai surged towards him, he was completely enveloped and instantly felt as if placed in a dry desert.

The twenty-second countdown—

But with a few seconds still on the clock, the Giant Baby Monster already broke free from the skill’s restraint, angrily swinging its massive arms!

Then in the next moment, it shattered into pieces within the flames.

Fire clashed with the thick darkness, crackling as it turned into lava-like substance, spreading in all directions along the Giant Baby Monster’s body.

It wailed pitifully as it struggled, thrashing against and hitting its surroundings, but unable to stop the rapid spread of the flames.

The twenty seconds were up.

And the monster was completely consumed by the fire.
