There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Chapter 503: You are the Gateway to All Truth (10,000 characters / Script Complete)



Among these children, Emily was the only one who had ever seen the old headmaster. From the moment she could remember, she had been abandoned by her birth mother. At that time, Emily thought it was because she had done something wrong, which was why her mother didn't want her anymore. She had heard that bad children would be thrown away. But the old headmaster who brought her back to the orphanage always told her that her mother hadn't abandoned her, she just couldn't find Emily for the time being. Four-year-old Emily believed him. She felt if she was well-behaved and waited patiently, her mother would find her one day. However, the old headmaster passed away, the Qiming Orphanage went through changes and was no longer the same, until the orphanage caught fire and completely vanished. She had been waiting in confusion for three years, but she never saw her mother again. Yet Emily always remembered what the old headmaster had said. "Emily is not a bad child..." The doll murmured, lifting its head to look at the giant eye in the sky with a voice that was crisp and pure, unique to children. It shouted loudly, "Grandpa headmaster said that everyone living in Qiming Orphanage is a lost angel. We aren't abandoned, we just haven't found our true home yet. Brother Yueshu, you said before..." "Shut up!" Emily's words weren't finished when they were interrupted by a roar that nearly shattered the heavens. The giant eye fixed its gaze firmly on her, and the sounds from all directions seemed to be closing in: "Emily, come join us, let's create a new world that belongs to us!" "In that world, your mother is waiting for you!" "..." The doll's button eyes stared blankly at the sky, as if it suddenly lost consciousness and became an ordinary cloth doll. Seeing this, Director Zheng thought to himself that this was not good: "This brat is a bit clever, even capable of inciting rebellion! It might be better to let me—" "I don't want to face three monsters later," Xu Shuo cut off his words. "..." Director Zheng was suddenly lost for words. He looked at Xu Shuo with an inscrutable expression and somewhat uncomfortably yanked off the cat that was biting his own left hand, but it wasn't long before the cat jumped back and continued to bite. Xu Shuo's concentration remained on the doll. In his expanded Mind Network, the world was a dense chaos, each person was entwined with different amounts of dark Qi, and every person was also a different strange shape. The cat was a blood-red eye; its body carved into the ground of the orphanage, but it was closed tight now. The body of Yueshu was just an indescribable mass, with the real entity being the giant eye in the sky. Like the gaze of a deity, from the moment it opened its eye, the orphanage within its sight was under its control. As for the other children in the orphanage. They were nothing. Their existence depended on Yueshu, their power came from Yueshu, even their thoughts originated from Yueshu's mind. The world was like a dream made by Yueshu. And Emily was a singularity within the dream. She possessed true, individual thoughts and obsessions, which had been instilled in her a very long time ago by the old headmaster. In the Mind Network, Yueshu's thoughts were eroding Emily's mind like a virus, an indescribable existence and feeling, twisting, spinning, blurry and chaotic. The orphanage scene was distorted, the image of midsummer was gradually receding, and what followed was profound darkness and solitude. Emily stood lost and disoriented in the darkness. At that moment, Xu Shuo's figure suddenly appeared beside Emily. The little girl, who was in a daze, turned her head, and her listless eyes gradually brightened. She happily spread her arms and ran towards him. "Grandpa headmaster! Mom really came to pick me up!" Xu Shuo crouched down and embraced the little girl, who appeared to be only four years old, as she threw herself into his arms. But in the next moment, Yueshu's figure suddenly appeared opposite, speaking in an ominous tone, "Emily, look carefully, that's not the person you know, don't be deceived by them!" Emily froze, lifting her head to look at the ethereal figure of Director Zheng, her expression one of confusion. Xu Shuo raised his hand to touch Emily's head, then turned to look at Yueshu across from him, and said with a light chuckle, "Yueshu, your ideal is actually to create a world like the one Director Zheng had depicted, isn't it?" Yueshu furrowed his brows and remained silent. Xu Shuo kept talking, "There's nothing in the orphanage that can be hidden from you, and you've long gone through the records stored in the archives. In your heart, you admire the kind of Director Zheng who protected the children. "At first, you thought that your inadequate parents couldn't give you the proper upbringing, so you destroyed your own family for the sake of a suitable growing environment for your sister Lina. "Eventually, you ended up here, believing in Director Zheng's ideals." "Unfortunately, you were too late." "You never met him, you could only understand him from records and snippets of conversation from the children." "Faced with the decaying Qiming Orphanage, you felt it failed Director Zheng, and it also failed your expectations." "So when that group of cultists infiltrated the orphanage, you intentionally lured them to Lily, then through their hands, you awakened the Abyss Darkness." "You thought that once you had powerful magic, you could create a world of your own." "However, you didn't expect that the orphanage would be isolated from then on." Xu Shuo smiled and continued to speak to Yueshu, whose expression was fluctuating: "But you weren't initially worried or concerned about such things."
