There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Chapter 503: You are the Gateway to All Truth (10,000 characters / Script Complete) _3



Just like Yueshu, who had acquired the dark power of the Abyss, the consequence was likely a complete loss of sanity, degenerating into a chaotic and twisted monster. The reason he had made this discovery was that, while probing Yueshu's self-consciousness just now, Xu Shuo had incidentally glimpsed into the minds of everyone present. Alpha was endowed with immense computing power, so Xu Shuo, who was temporarily in this state, was also granted this ability. That was why he could control Emily to release the power of rules just before. The Director Character Card, indeed an eternal god! It was just that his own spiritual power was far from being as strong as the Director's, which was a bit regrettable. Otherwise, Yueshu would have been killed by him long ago. "Alright." The Headmaster observed Xu Shuo's expression, and seeing that he might have truly realized his own situation, temporarily gave up on persuading him. He once again plucked the cat from his head, held it in his hand to torment while he said, "If you're not leaving, then should we move the others first?" Several other people had only lost consciousness and were currently in a half-dead state; if dragged out in time, perhaps they could still be saved. Upon hearing this, Xu Shuo looked at the two people lying not far away, his gaze deep, "No, just leave them be for now." Who knows, they might suddenly be of some use? The Headmaster read his intention and remained silent. So both of them fell into a gloomy silence. It seemed they were both silently waiting for Yueshu to wander back. But in fact, Xu Shuo was not idle at all. Taking advantage of the time left with the Alpha Character Card, he was reconstructing the Mental Space with spiritual power, preparing to face the raging fury of Yueshu later on. After the Mind Network expanded out, every single movement of everything in the orphanage was under his watch. At this moment, the Headmaster suddenly asked, "What is the world outside like?" "I don't know," Xu Shuo replied instantly. "...Alright." The Headmaster looked up at the sky, changing the topic, "I must have died many times over by now, right?" Xu Shuo paused, "I don't know, perhaps." Up till now, having not triggered the Headmaster's Character Card, Xu Shuo was deeply distressed, because he had a vague suspicion that this card might never get a chance. As for this NPC awakening, who knows if there was a chance. The situation was entirely beyond his expectations. Who could have guessed that the Headmaster's self-consciousness actually existed and that, even after his shell had been occupied by a player, he could still boldly pop out! So if Xu Shuo had really chosen the wrong character, then in the original script, the Headmaster would definitely have appeared as an NPC. Given his status, and his attitude towards Yueshu, the probability of the Headmaster helping players escape was high. Therefore, saying he has died many times could indeed be possible. Thinking this way, the Subspace extracted somehow also seems a miraculous place. Because as an NPC here, one does not die. So if Xu Shuo didn't have an overall mission, and if this script were still normal, he would absolutely go along with the Headmaster's suggestion! As for the mess left behind, whoever wants to clean it up can go ahead! Alas, there are no ifs. Xu Shuo looked up at the sky; that gigantic jaundiced eye was still staring at him, but compared to before, the eye now seemed somewhat distorted. He knew Yueshu was preparing for an ambush. And, with the power he currently possessed, being able to withstand the other's assault was entirely dependent on the control and mobilization of spiritual power by the Alpha Character Card; even his spiritual power couldn't be consumed continuously. But at this moment, Xu Shuo was inexplicably excited. His heart rate accelerated slightly, fixated on that gigantic eye, the dark pupil's light swirling, reflecting the jaundiced vertical pupils in his eyes. Suddenly, the distorted sky's colossal eye boiled over again, with countless snakes seeming to climb and writhe within it, entangling and twisting together. Its gaze was tightly locked on the person below! Xu Shuo's pupils contracted, and in the image constructed by the Mind Network, a pillar of pitch-black waterfall descended like a torrent from the heavens, enwrapping endless shrieking and raging evil spirits toward the ground where he stood! This was Yueshu's silent yet tangible fury! "Move out of the way!" The Headmaster's voice rang out beside him. But Xu Shuo did not budge; the Mental Space that he had readied enclosed from all sides, the air filled with invisible fluctuations, specks of light formed a barrier overhead, just in the nick of time. "Boom!" The pitch-black colossal column struck the barrier violently, engulfing them in an instant! The thick black mist from the fall rolled down along the barrier, covering all images detected by the Mind Network. The jaundiced pupils started appearing in all directions – above the head and beneath the feet, dense eyes filled every corner of thought, causing goosebumps and shivers with their relentless gaze! Xu Shuo's Sea of Consciousness felt as if it were struck by a heavy hammer, strange whispers echoing in his ears, as if narrating something, yet a detailed listen revealed a jumble of noise that couldn't be understood. His brain became occupied by indescribable thoughts, standing amid countless eyes, enduring a gaze akin to squaring under thousands of watchful eyes. "Mr. Headmaster, you are underestimating me too much." Laughter echoed from all around, hoarse and clamorous. The dazed Xu Shuo suddenly laughed as well. "Actually, I've underestimated myself too." ... In the silent orphanage outside. Monsters from the dark waterfall emerged from the void, emitting piercing sounds, mocking or roaring. Agile and swift, they promptly lunged toward every corner of the orphanage!
