There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game
Chapter 500 Retrospection
Yueshu appeared at the end of the third-floor corridor.
The location of the archives room and room 301 were at opposite ends of this hallway.
While the director was talking to the enormous cyclops in the sky, the cyclops's eye was also watching him, and subsequently, Yueshu naturally locked onto their positions.
Because Xu Shuo was a rather unique spiritual being, his initial attention was on Xu Shuo, but not until the cat bit the director next to him did his focus shift.
Then, he started sizing up the two identical individuals.
"What are you looking at! Looking for a beating, brat!"
The director, who was in the process of pulling off the cat, suddenly turned his head and stared fiercely.
Yueshu, yelled at, flinched involuntarily and then, by conditioned reflex, deemed him to be that hot-tempered Director No. 2. If that were the case, the quiet energy body next to him was most likely the Investigator who had just entered Qiming Orphanage.
When he first entered Qiming Orphanage, the Investigator indeed had a good personality, and he even often tried to ingratiate himself with the children to understand this place.
However, as he spent more and more time in the orphanage, his act of ingratiating himself with the children gradually became beating them up whenever they disobeyed!
Yueshu had been watching the change in the man.
And these days, it was clear the director was lucid less and less often, meaning he would soon be assimilated by the orphanage.
Although it took a full three months to change this individual, put another way, being able to assimilate such a strong being was also precisely a reason for Yueshu to take pride.
And now, just as he was about to succeed, with the intrusion of those unexpected people—the director seemed to have become even more lucid.
This was truly an irritating development.
"Director sir, no matter what you become, my thoughts remain the same," Yueshu, after weighing his options, ignored the irritable Director No. 2 and chose to speak with Xu Shuo, who seemed capable of thought, "You have one last chance to change this world with me, or become my nourishment."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shuo looked towards the director and said, "He's giving me a chance to rebel."
The director didn't respond; he was still focusing intently on Yueshu, his smile gradually turning fierce and haughty. Then, he extended his right hand to the side.
All of a sudden, the first floor of Qiming Building erupted with a series of clanging sounds, and then, a blood-stained axe, breaking through the seal and the obstruction of the door, traced a path through the air, crashing into the director's hand.
Bang!
Holding the axe, the director swung it to test its feel, then smirked in satisfaction.
He looked up sideways at the opposite side: "You brat, even daring to covet my man, seems like the beatings you got before just weren't enough!"
As the sound of his voice faded, a fierce light flashed in the eyes of the youth, and in the next instant, his figure darted forward like lightning!
He suddenly appeared beside Yueshu, locking eyes with those amber-hued eyes at close range, madness, violence, and extreme excitement meeting in midair!
...
"Boom—!"
The dining hall on the first floor.
The female office worker and Old Wang were sitting together, questioning their existence.
Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside. Through the dining hall's large windows, they could see black flames shooting down from the upper floor, rolling and boiling in the front yard.
The female office worker wiped her face and said, "It seems like they're fighting outside again. What do we do now?"
Old Wang, languid in spirit, replied, "What else can we do? I don't have the strength to break through space again. Since the director said the effect of getting lost would dissipate after a while, we can only wait."
"But we haven't completed our mission yet!" the female office worker cried out in frustration.
She had already obtained the doll, and the system had even prompted that the mission was complete. Suddenly, there was a bewildering instance of Time Retrospection.
Great!
The mission reset to incomplete!
The female office worker was baffled when she saw the result!
Worse yet, the game-over countdown that had been triggered earlier wasn't rolled back, so now they only had twenty minutes left!
"How about…" Old Wang, glancing her way, suggested, "You try calling for Emily again like you did before?"
The female office worker had shared with him how she completed the mission.
But at that time, she was alone in the illusion, so calling out 'Mama' was completely pressure-free.
Now with Old Wang watching beside her…
This made it so that the female office worker struggled to get the words out, finding the phrase "Mama loves you" particularly hard to say.
"Mission for the soul!" Old Wang encouraged.
Mission for the soul!
That was their slogan!
The female office worker bit her lip and finally belted out with full force, "Emily! Mama loves you ahhh!!!"
"Boom!"
Accompanying her lion's roar shout, the wall on the dining hall side facing the corridor crashed open!
Both shocked, they turned to see, amidst the rubble, a blood-stained axe standing.
Then, a figure emerged from the black flames and picked up the axe that had shattered the orphanage's structure. And lastly, he even looked up at the two of them.
As their eyes met, the boy provocatively arched an eyebrow at them.
His expression was extremely arrogant, clashing with his clean and handsome look!
The female office worker, Old Wang: "..."
The two silently appraised the somewhat familiar-looking stranger.
The director whistled, "What are you still looking at? Come out and have fun!"
Both: "..."
As he spoke, the director suddenly glanced towards the dining hall window and tossed the axe in his hand in its direction.
With a crash, the invincible meal-serving window, as tested by Old Wang, shattered instantly, the rich scent of food filling the dining hall dissipated in a moment.
