There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

```

The scene fell silent for two seconds.

Then, perhaps Xu Shuo's speechless emotion was too overt, Shi felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Sorry, I'm still not very skilled at controlling my abilities, so there's usually quite a ruckus."

Xu Shuo took the opportunity to ask, "How do you usually remove an Abyss Rift?"

"Well, since the emergence of an Abyss Rift means that the nearby space has already been distorted, to pull out the rift, you need to clean up the entire space, in short..."

Shi tried to think of the vocabulary to explain, "You can imagine it like a cup of boiled water into which a drop of ink is dripped, and then the whole cup of water is muddled by the ink, while I need to clean out that drop of ink, leaving behind the clear water."

Xu Shuo understood, he said expressionlessly, "But because you're not very good at controlling your powers, you simply poured out the whole cup and then fetched a new cup of water?"

Shi scratched his head, "Eh heh..."

"But really, doing this won't affect the world itself?" Xu Shuo said.

"It's like a doctor performing surgery, the impact won't be that big!" Shi hastened to wave his hands and add, "Because of the world's own recovery power, as long as I create an Illusory Realm to maintain the natural order, after some time the world will recover on its own!"

"Oh..." Xu Shuo got it again.

Brain: I am sick.

Doctor: You're cured, take a walk.

Body: No, I'm not cured!

Doctor: (Hypnosis) No, you are cured!

Brain: I am cured!

Body: Then... what about me??

This is probably what doctors often say, don't think about it too much, think happy thoughts and the sickness will naturally go away.

So the last time he and Luo Kai went to investigate Yuhua Dam, the lush and seemingly vibrant vegetation was this guy's Illusory Realm to deceive the world, right?

But the densely populated city center certainly can't be compared to the desolate suburbs, the pit created last time at Yuhua Dam was at least several hundred meters huge!

Xu Shuo calculated this distance in his head.

First off, this budget shopping mall was definitely not going to exist anymore, then there was this underground parking garage that would also be destroyed alongside it, next to the mall was the vegetable market of this city village, and not far from there was the Peace Road Subway Station, as well as several surrounding roads.

His living place was definitely not going to be affected, but his quality of life was definitely going to be impacted.

If he thought about even farther places, troubles could probably multiply...

"So what does your Illusory Realm look like?" Xu Shuo suddenly asked.

"Um..."

Shi turned his head to look around, then affirmed, "I have already memorized this place, and I'll just create an Illusory Realm just like it for everyone to live in later!"

Recalling the completely different vegetation environment at Yuhua Dam compared to before, Xu Shuo did not believe this person could recreate the same Illusory Realm.

He thought for a moment, sighed, and said, "Why don't you explain to me in detail, what are the exact steps to remove an Abyss Rift?"

Upon hearing this, Shi tilted his head, "Sure!"

...

A few hundred meters away from the underground parking garage.

In this direction, there were official personnel monitoring Xu Shuo, and even further back, there was Los with a telescope observing.

After discovering that Themis's Sensory Ability was extremely strong, Los was cautious not to get close to that area this time and specially stayed hidden behind the monitoring personnel to disrupt their judgment.

He held the telescope, his gaze piercing through the walls to focus on the two people sitting in the underground parking garage passage.

Upon discovering the two seeming to be chatting on the stairs, Los gripped the telescope tighter, his brows furrowed as he observed.

They were actually in contact already?

Being so close, would Judgment discover anything?

However, from what he had heard from Themis earlier, it seemed that the latter had been in contact with that person for a while but had not discovered anything yet.

The camera swept over the two men, Los did not keep watching, then he moved his gaze to the corner underneath the wall.

There, a narrow crack was seeping darkness continuously, the darkness spreading like life itself, clinging onto the walls, the floor, and the surrounding vehicles, eroding and contaminating them.

And the two were sitting on the stairs next to the darkness, pointing at the Abyss Rift and talking.

From the young man's posture, he seemed quite relaxed, propping his chin up and listening to the blond man's earnest chatter.

Los: "..."

What on earth are they chatting about in front of the Abyss?

```

And why get so close to the Abyss?

Don't you have any sense of concealment in your heart?!

Suddenly, the youth who had been facing the camera with the back of his head turned sharply to look over, his eyes seemingly directed at the void, focusless, yet they were precisely aimed toward the direction from which he was being watched!

Los immediately put down the telescope and averted his gaze.

After taking this guilty action, he then remembered that even if the other party had a feeling, they couldn't possibly detect his presence.

So there was really no need to hide.

Thus, Los once again picked up the telescope.

...

...

"What's wrong?"

Shi was explaining to Xu Shuo how to clear the Abyss Rifts when he suddenly noticed the latter's attention had drifted as if to look at something.

He also glanced in that direction, then said, "Oh, are you concerned about that group monitoring you?"

Xu Shuo frowned slightly but did not speak.

Those were people lurking from the officials, but the strange feeling of being watched just now did not seem to come from ordinary people.

At least, ordinary people couldn't directly peer through walls to stare at him, right? Whenever Xu Shuo was in a car or inside a building, the sense of being under official surveillance would diminish.

This meant that they probably hadn't gone mad enough to start using cameras to keep track of his every move.

If it had come to that, Xu Shuo wouldn't have left Yuhua Dam so easily tonight.

So that feeling just now was probably not from an official source.

And the moment he turned his head, that sensation of being watched promptly disappeared—an attempt to cover it up that revealed the observer was indeed watching him.

"It's nothing."

But hearing Shi's question, Xu Shuo turned back and shook his head.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the feeling of being watched that had disappeared returned. Xu Shuo looked up and felt that it still hadn't gone away.

Good grief, so they think I can't stop them and have opted for a bold-faced observation, huh?!

Xu Shuo couldn't help but laugh and turned to Shi, saying, "Can you completely shield the space we're in right now, making it undetectable by any external force?"

"Of course, I always do that first when clearing the Abyss, to avoid accidentally affecting normal space."

As Shi spoke, there was no sign of any preparatory motion, only a golden light flickering in his eyes. Subsequently, an invisible wave spread outwards from him as the center.

In that instant, this space was enveloped in absolute silence.

The dim underground parking lot became quiet, even the sounds of machinery ceased, and the faint infrasounds in the air dissipated.

Shi, with his holy and majestic golden pupils, turned to him and said solemnly, "Don't waste time anymore. If the Abyss Rift continues to expand, it will catalyze monsters in the vicinity, and its unseen influence is extremely vast."

Xu Shuo glanced at the suddenly serious Judgement, and opened the Player's Handbook to use a Character Card.

[Alpha Character Card: When you transform into Alpha, the unparalleled Director grants you abilities close to those of a Divine Spirit. From now on, you can do whatever you want, as long as your spiritual power is sufficient to support your wanton actions.]

The youth's appearance didn't change much, only looking much younger than before.

Seeing this, Shi's eyes moved slightly: "Character Card? It's actually one that doesn't exist within the scenario of the script. Indeed, you're very strange."

Xu Shuo suddenly paused.

Being able to directly see the ability he had used, and even those not within the players' scope, wasn't this guy's setting a bit too bugged?

So now… before we deal with the Abyss, shall we fight first?

...

Hundreds of meters away, in a room upstairs.

Los, suddenly unable to see anything: "..."

Judgement has actually deployed the Judgment Domain!!

What are they going to do in there?!

He remembered that person only had the strength of a Level 2 player with just about Level 3 capabilities, not even high-rank!

If it's about resolving the Abyss, is it necessary?
