There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

While the four of them were quietly discussing, Xu Shuo pinched the back of the cat's neck, then leaned in curiously and asked, "Have you finished discussing?" The sudden sound of his low, smooth voice resonated in their ears, startling the female reporter into a reflexive shiver, causing her to lose grip on the marble she held in anticipation. The other three were no better off, turning their heads to face him, hearts racing with fear. Then they looked at the black cat in his hand. The cat, neck pinched, was capable of a spine-chilling 180-degree head rotation, and at that moment, it was fiercely trying to gnaw at the back of his hand with its teeth. Its sharp fangs pierced the skin, and as blood began to flow, the cat lapped it up greedily. The sight made everyone's scalp tingle! "This... this cat..." The female reporter, who had just picked up the marble, couldn't help but speak up when she lifted her head and saw this. Xu Shuo smiled and said, "Don't worry, it has already lost its wit by now." He lifted the cat to eye level, looking into its blood-red pupils, and continued, "Moreover, Yueshu cannot control or command this cat, so you don't need to worry about that." The female reporter was silent. She stood by for a while and realized the cat was completely ignoring her, the one who had broken the rules. Just moments ago, when the cat sprang from the void, it showed no interest in the others, pursuing her relentlessly even when blocked by Xu Shuo. But now, it showed no reaction at all. With this realization, the female reporter asked, somewhat shocked, "Can it be free from the rules?" Xu Shuo's smile was enigmatic as he replied, "Who knows." He watched the cat, which continued to nonchalantly lick the blood while flicking its ears, head still twisted 180 degrees, and took advantage of its bowed position to suddenly pull it up by the head, then flung the cat away. Thump! The cat hit the wall, fell down, shook its head as it got back up, and once again obstinately dashed towards Xu Shuo. It was clear that it had lost both its wit and adherence to any rules. Of course, it was also possible that Xu Shuo was now within the cat's rules, and possibly a higher priority than the others, given that he too had locked eyes with the cat. But when confronted with the cat's attempt to devour him, Xu Shuo was not like the female reporter, bound by the rules and unable to escape, only waiting to be devoured. So strictly speaking, this was an unexpected situation. Possibly like the "Abyss Caretaker." Ever since entering this narrative, those children had been avoiding and fearing him, leading Xu Shuo to believe this title shouldn't be effective against rule-bound monsters like Yueshu. Turns out, maybe it just wasn't attractive enough? The cat pounced again! Xu Shuo caught its head in his hand! Then the cat displayed its miraculous ability to stretch, its head flowing like liquid through his grasp, opening its mouth to bite! Splat! The others looked at the spectacle and relaxed their gazes slightly. It seemed the cat was indeed no immediate worry. And at that moment, golden glows of a barrier began to flicker in all corners of the office, and then, like shattered glass, cracks spread rapidly across the barrier. "Get ready!" Old Wang yelled out loud. The next moment, the barrier shattered with a loud crash! At the same time, the office door burst open, and countless monsters swarmed in! But the primary resistance for those present was not the monsters from outside, but rather the black mist that had been coiled around the office. They swirled like a tornado, howling as they charged towards the people in the center of the room, carrying the shrieks of fierce ghosts, the roars of demons, and countless chaotic whispers that crashed into their minds! The female reporter faced a smaller onslaught, not only because she was standing in the middle of the group. More importantly, she was, after all, a member of the Stars guild; otherwise, she wouldn't have regained her senses after so many instances of cerebral contamination. This was the splendid benefit of believing in the Stars! The female reporter immediately threw out nine marbles, her gaze firm and solemn. The nine marbles, each emitting a different color, floated in an orbit around her, their brilliant lights intertwining like nebulae, connecting to each other like stars in the sky. Once the other three realized what was happening, they immediately prepared to defend. Old Wang's translucent shield unfolded to a diameter of about three meters, massive and impervious in front of him, and then, with a loud shout, he charged out! "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Countless monsters slammed into his shield, disintegrating into pools of black sludge. Old Wang, like a fierce and formidable missile, cleared a path of monsters in the corridor upon exiting the office, and any that managed to cling onto the shield were soon pierced by the sudden bursts of light from the shield! The female social worker's eyes took on a hint of blood red as she scanned the void around her, trying to locate enemies hidden in the shadows. However, aside from those irrational, twisted monsters, the rule-bound monsters from the orphanage—the children—had vanished without a trace. Even the staff members from the orphanage were nowhere to be found. How strange... When they had first taken refuge in the office, those staff members had all come out and were clawing at the door, screaming. "Those dogs are gone too," the female office worker said in a hushed voice. "Click..." Suddenly, a crisp sound echoed by their ears. The social worker turned to look and saw that the office walls, including the ceiling, floor, and even desks, chairs, and objects, were all cracking as well!
