There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Chapter 495: Nowhere to Hide



The female journalist really couldn't hold on much longer, but she also didn't dare show any weakness. Because her last attack must have subdued the monster, otherwise, when facing Lina's injury, it would not have been just impotent fury, it should have charged at her and dealt with her directly! So the female journalist must now maintain her momentum! However, after making eye contact with Yueshu below, whose expression was already twisted, his face suddenly broke into a hideous smile, "Could it be that I thought too much?" The female journalist's heart skipped a beat! In an instant, the little boy in suspenders and dress pants appeared in front of her! At that moment, the female journalist quickly retreated, slicing through the darkness that assailed her with her palm acting as a blade, and then, leaping backward, she jumped down from the rooftop parapet and landed on the rooftop. Yueshu stood atop the parapet, black mist emanating from his body, his expression ferocious and terrifying, looking like a little demon. The female journalist confronted him with an ugly expression on her face. ... At the same time as Yueshu acted, the female office worker extended her arm, projecting a translucent arc of light, and leapt high to chop at the chains binding Old Wang. Clang— Several chains were severed, and Old Wang broke free from his restraints. The female office worker then glanced over at the tied-up head of the orphanage, only to see him lazily lean back and then his body disappeared into the pitch-black chains; when he reappeared, he was already standing on the ground nearby. All in all, he looked rather at ease. The female office worker's mouth twitched slightly with a "..." So you thought being tied up was fun? Old Wang, on the other hand, had an expression that said 'as expected,' and was not surprised at the head of the orphanage's effortless performance. Just then, the two of them suddenly felt a chilling sensation that made their hair stand on end! Whirling around, they saw the female social worker standing up, head hanging low and arms dangling, moving in a very eerie manner. Old Wang stepped forward and activated his shield, squinting as he called out, "Hey, are you alright?" The female social worker abruptly lifted her head, her pupils a deep blood-red, and even her original pale complexion was covered in bloody veins, looking like a harbinger of demonic transformation. "She might have been contaminated already, be careful." Watching her appearance, the female office worker frowned and said, then turned her head to ask the one beside her, "Do you have any..." She was about to ask if the head of the orphanage had any way to save her. But when she turned her head, the young man was already nowhere to be seen. That probably meant they would just have to kill her directly. ... ... "Bang!" Qiming Building rooftop. Xu Shuo tossed the cat he was carrying; the cat slammed into the attack and instinctively opened its mouth to swallow the mass of darkness. In a flash, the atmosphere on the rooftop quieted. The female journalist, nearly swallowed herself, staggered back a few steps, bracing against the rooftop parapet as she gasped for air, her vision blurred by cold sweat. Only when she saw the figure in the white coat did she finally breathe a sigh of relief. Luckily this nutjob kept his word. "Head of the orphanage, sir?" Seeing the person who suddenly appeared here, Yueshu squinted his eyes, then looked indifferently at the commotion before him. Xu Shuo smiled at him, then he opened his white coat. Instinctively reaching for the fruit knife, Xu Shuo felt in his pocket only to find it empty. He then remembered his weapon had just been taken by his opponent. Compared to a cane, Xu Shuo felt more comfortable with a fruit knife or other short blades. So he simply stretched out his hand as a signal, "My knife?" "This one?" Yueshu's originally distorted and angry expression had gradually returned to normal, his body surrounded by countless writhing dark tentacles, which at this moment were entwined around a fruit knife probing forward. Yueshu laughed and said, "I can't believe I'm unable to use it, is this the special rule you've obtained here?" "Give it to me," Xu Shuo said, spreading his hands. "Mr. Director, I'm not that stupid," Yueshu replied with a sinister smile. Then, the dark tentacle suddenly tightened and twisted the black-handled silver-bladed fruit knife into a twisted mess! In the crisp sound of a clink, the fruit knife broke into pieces. However, the fragments turned into points of light and vanished in the air. Xu Shuo still looked at him with a faint smile, and under Yueshu's provocative gaze, he lowered his arm, opened the right flap of his white coat, and pulled out an identical fruit knife from his trouser pocket. "Thanks," he said, tossing the fruit knife in the air and catching it with an evident smile. "..." Yueshu's expression paused. Although the [One-Click Kill] rule of the fruit knife is independent, it is actually a skill that comes with Doctor Chu's character card, and it is bound to the card. In other words, destruction means reload. After all, rules don't just disappear. Xu Shuo grasped the fruit knife and stepped back, quickly blending into the shadow at his feet, and in the next moment, he instantaneously appeared behind Yueshu! [One-Click Kill MISS!] Although the kill always misses Yueshu, Xu Shuo still casually used the skill while attacking with the fruit knife—after all, it was just a thought away, no reason not to use it. Who knows, perhaps someday it would be like in a game, luck would strike and clip the edge of a BOSS. "Mr. Director, it seems you have forgotten what my existence signifies," Yueshu stated. Unfazed by the surprise attack from behind, Yueshu's expression didn't change in the slightest, nor did his gaze shift, but the dark tentacles extending from his body were already flailing wildly! Xu Shuo swiftly dodged the oncoming tentacles and when he hit another from the back, his whole body merged into it, subsequently appearing in front of Yueshu. The two were face-to-face at close range, and the fruit knife was already slashing towards his throat! Yueshu's pupils constricted, and the huge solitary eye in the sky changed with them, as if that amber pupil encompassed and observed all things. Following that, Xu Shuo's body stiffened. The fruit knife was against the soft neck of the boy, but it couldn't continue to cut through his skin. Because Yueshu is SOA-09, he represents the entire Qiming Orphanage. The entire subspace is actually within Yueshu's rule, which is why Xu Shuo had said that from the moment those people entered the orphanage, they were within the Rule Space. Because Yueshu controls this place. And his rule is Order. "Mr. Director, all your actions are transparent in my eyes," Yueshu proclaimed. The solitary eye in the sky watched everything below. "So why continue this futile resistance?" Yueshu asked, looking at him with a faint smile. Xu Shuo furrowed his brows tightly, not speaking but staring intently at the fruit knife. His hand holding the fruit knife trembled slightly, and then, with an extremely slow motion, the blade managed to carve out a thin line of blood on the boy's neck. Bright red blood beads oozed out from the skin, rolling down the smooth blade until they touched the hand holding the knife handle. Seeing that vivid red, Xu Shuo's brows relaxed slightly, and he showed a look of satisfaction. Then he tilted his head slightly and asked, "What did you just say?" Yueshu: "..." Yueshu looked at the young man before him with a complex expression. It seemed... that suddenly the Director, whose thoughts were once abnormal, had come back. So he unexplainably felt the other's rationality become clearer—was he mistaken after all? ...
