There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Chapter 503: You are the Gateway to All Truth (10,000 characters / Script Complete)_6



``` It's hard to imagine that even monsters, contaminated and rotted by the Darkness of the Abyss, filled with negative emotions, could feel fear. "What is this..." "This is..." "Let me out! Let me go now!" Yueshu yelled as if he had gone mad. He suddenly turned to look at Xu Shuo beside him, only to see the boy's eyes were also tightly closed. His eyebrows and eyes seemed to depict the orbit of stars in the cosmos. Suddenly realizing something, Yueshu's thoughts began to tremble violently, fearing this person in front of him! Afterward, it was as if the sky above the Qiming Orphanage had opened its eyes. The image in the universe traced by seven stars also slowly opened Its eyes. Those were eyes of emerald ice-green, cool, empty, yet they seemed to contain the truth of all things in the world, neither defiled nor pure, holy and bright. The beholder would unconsciously indulge in them. Unlike the fleeting glimpse of the last time, Its gaze suddenly fell on Yueshu. Just one look. Above the Qiming Orphanage, the gigantic Abyssal cyclops collapsed and dissipated! The pitch-black twisted Abyssal space was also washed clean by the cosmic river of stars. Countless bright stars twinkled, and the will of wisdom rapidly invaded every corner of decay and depravity. "The wisdom of the stars, listen to my command." In a daze, a faint ethereal chant seemed to arise within the cosmic river of stars. Yueshu's gaze became dull, his thoughts eroded by the stars made him subconsciously mutter the voice in his mind: "You are the gate to all truth." ... Thump. His body, no longer dominated by thought, collapsed to the ground. Yueshu, with a stupefied expression, looked up at the night sky. Nothing was left in those eyes except a void of emptiness. The space of the Qiming Orphanage announced its collapse. The building was instantly covered in traces of fiery burns, and the yard was filled with crisp grass and ash. Its outer appearance, which maintained a luster, dissipated, leaving only former broken tiles and walls, a mess of debris. On the grass in the yard, the doll the businesswoman in white had been holding was gone. What she was holding unconsciously was a four-year-old little girl. But at this moment, the body of the little girl was also slowly fading away. Emily looked around blankly, then lowered her head to see the woman who was still unconscious. She subconsciously reached out to touch her but found that she couldn't make contact at all. In a daze, Emily realized something. After staring blankly for a moment, she bowed her head and kissed the woman's cheek. "Mom, goodbye." As her voice fell, Emily disappeared, and a charred, broken doll fell to the ground. The director was staring blankly at the Qiming Building in front of him when he suddenly sensed something. He turned his head, but only saw Emily dissipating into starlight. Originally, a fire, ignited by madness, caused everyone in the Qiming Orphanage to perish. They had actually ceased to exist in this world long ago. What was left were just bodies propped up by monsters. Just like him at the moment. The director thought of this and looked forlornly at his own hand, although now this hand also did not seem to be part of his body. At that moment, he suddenly noticed that the person beside him flickered a few times. "How are you doing?" the director asked hastily. "I'm okay... rea..." Xu Shuo's form, maintained by spiritual power, flickered uncertainly. Hearing the voice, he subconsciously replied but abruptly covered his mouth halfway through his response. The word "truth" was forcefully swallowed back down. Xu Shuo closed his eyes and breathed deeply, calmly sorting through his thoughts. The chaos in his mind gradually receded, like calming a violent storm that had been whipped up. Earlier... The first time he opened his Mental Space, Xu Shuo made a point of plucking out the female journalist who was slacking off in the Qiming Building. Then he manipulated Emily to use her power, once again taking the opportunity to obscure Yueshu's vision and completely shift his attention onto himself. ``` Because only in this way did the female journalist have enough time to prepare. After all, that guy really had no power left, it was Xu Shuo guiding her spirit and using his own spiritual power to help her use her abilities. Previously, when facing Lina on the third floor, Xu Shuo was washed over by the "Seven Stars Conjunction," and the scene his mind "saw" was recorded by him. And the peculiar sensation brought by those emerald eyes was even more on his mind! There was no mistake, the feeling at that moment— was similar to the last time in the underground parking lot of the present world when he used the Alpha Character Card, connecting his spiritual power with the power of Themis! That sense of holiness, brightness, and immense greatness! Overwhelmed by such power, the Abyss Rift that had just shown up was instantly gone! So shouldn't he make use of it quickly?! Xu Shuo boldly reached out with his own spiritual power! In the end, the result of the game came as he expected, and the consequences he would suffer also appeared, which were the thoughts of "Stars Wisdom," "Gate of Truth" that had just filled his head. How strange. His will was not contaminated by the darkness of the Abyss but was nearly overtaken by that sensation, which really made one doubt. Which one of you is the real mental contamination?? "Hey, are you really okay?" The voice of the orphanage director sounded again. And this time, Xu Shuo heard it clearly. He opened his eyes, took a breath, and said, "It's fine. It seems everything has been resolved." Xu Shuo looked up at the sky; the giant eye was gone, and the summer night sky was sparsely dotted with stars, looking quite enjoyable. Only there was a crack inappropriately streaking across the sky. On the other side of the crack lay a dead silence filled with darkness. It did not seem like the darkness of the Abyss but more like the empty chaos of the universe. The game script had disappeared, and it seemed this Subspace was also about to vanish? Would he still have to wait until the game was over in about fifteen minutes? Xu Shuo looked thoughtfully at the orphanage director beside him. The director was also looking toward the crack in the sky following his gaze when he suddenly felt Xu Shuo's eyes on him and looked back down. "What's wrong?" "You might completely disappear," Xu Shuo said. Because the script was abnormal. Abnormality leads to collapse, and then, like all previous script worlds, it would be sealed off by the Script Space, and the result might be vanishing forever. On hearing this, the director just smiled and quipped, "Speaking of which, why does it seem like you've been particularly regretful since you met me?" Xu Shuo sighed, "I really do regret." However, he did not disclose the reason. "Haha, is that so? Well, if I disappear, I disappear," the director laughed casually, his carefree demeanor showing as he waved his hand and once again looked up at the crack in the sky with a tranquil, leisurely expression. Gone was his previous wild arrogance, and he now resembled the Investigator who wrote with a black pen, clearly recording every word and sentence. "Because this is also the fate of an SOA Investigator." ... ... ps: I missed updating for everyone one day before, so today I directly aimed for ten thousand words. My apologies! Also, thanks to the readers for their rewards~ ...
