There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Xu Shuo quickly witnessed the process of a group of people going insane. Honestly, he hadn't expected the transition from a normal, kind-hearted person to madness and irrationality to be so swift. It had been about half an hour since the Daping Hao first encountered the black ship. And it took only five minutes from the appearance of the first victim on board the Daping Hao to the total psychological breakdown of everyone. In an instant, the sailors who had still been laughing and making light-hearted jokes with Xu earlier that day had all gone mad, plunging into the abyss of fear and insanity. Although Old Zhou seemed to have some semblance of reason left. But in fact, the only truly sane person left on the Daping Hao was Xu. After ensuring Xu's safety, Old Zhou didn't bother with the insane sailors on the ship. He crawled into the cargo hold at the bow and from the corner's access, descended into the Daping Hao's bilge. There, a small sampan awaited. Old Zhou quietly launched the sampan from the port side. The narrow boat hugged the Daping Hao, bobbing on the water's surface with the waves. Under the cover of night, it was very difficult to notice the small boat hidden beneath the bow unless one looked closely. But just as Old Zhou climbed back up using the Daping Hao's beams, the moment he flipped over the railing, he came face-to-face with a young sailor who was peering out at sea. The young sailor didn't know how long he had been standing there, but regardless, he must have seen the small boat that could be used for escape. That moment, a murderous glint flickered in Old Zhou's eyes. Meanwhile, after a brief pause, the young sailor spoke up, "Boss Zhou, is that boat prepared for Xu?" Old Zhou watched him darkly and didn't speak, his right hand quietly reaching for the machete at his waist. The young sailor seemed completely unaware of the danger before him and could only muster a bitter smile as he said, "Well, given the situation now, it's probably time. Boss Zhou, could you tell me the story about that boat?" Upon hearing this, Old Zhou looked slightly startled. He frowned and said, "You must have already heard from those helmsmen, what else is there for me to tell you?" "That's true." The young sailor nodded, then appeared somewhat melancholic as he said, "Actually, there's something..." Old Zhou watched him as if prepared to wait for him to finish. But as the words reached his lips, the young sailor suddenly became hesitant, scratching his head awkwardly as he said, "Actually, I've liked Xu since I was little..." "But with my family's situation, it was clear I could never be matched with her, so I thought I'd start by working under you, which led me to join the Daping Hao as a worker. "After all, Mr. Yu once said, 'Being near the water gets you first dibs on the moon,' heh heh." By the end, the young sailor's face had turned red. This revelation left Old Zhou flabbergasted! Then, instantly furious, he snatched the young man's ear: "You rascal! I always thought you were a straightforward, hard-working fellow with thick eyebrows and big eyes, fancying my Xu all along!" "Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch..." The young sailor inhaled sharply in pain. It was then that the stern of the ship erupted with a succession of dreadful screams, wildly different from those of the sailors who had been gutted and disemboweled earlier. The two men quickly looked out and saw blood spraying through the air, with two mad sailors wildly slashing around with large cleavers, causing utter chaos on the ship! The young sailor turned pale at the sight. He was truly young, having just gone to sea with Old Zhou, and indeed, he hadn't seen anything like this before! The next moment, he felt a chill beside him and turned his head to see Old Zhou also drawing a sickle-shaped sailor's knife from his waist. Old Zhou, emanating a murderous aura, grimly stared at the young sailor and said, "At this point, I can't be bothered with others, but I absolutely won't let anything happen to Xu here!" The young sailor remained silent and said softly, "I don't want anything to happen to Xu either." Old Zhou gave him a look, his face full of murderous intent, and turned to walk towards the stern. But halfway there, he suddenly turned back and glared at him: "Keep up!" ... Just as the sailors on board grabbed their weapons and went on a killing spree, the black ship had once again drawn near without notice. Now, only four or five meters away from the Daping Hao, a collision could happen at any moment, and at this distance, an ordinary person could easily leap across from the railing. In fact, the killing spree had started from there. Two sailors, with eyes shining, stared at the black ship within arm's reach. Muttering about gold and treasures, they suddenly realized that they were both coveting the same riches. And then they started fighting. And after that, the killing began. A sailor suddenly noticed Xu Shuo leaning against the railing, and with bloodshot eyes, he screamed and charged forward with a cleaver. This attack was sheer chaos, but Xu Shuo, expressionless, lifted his foot and kicked out. The blow struck the sailor squarely in the chest, sending him flying backward when suddenly a black tentacle shot out from the air, entwined the sailor, and instantly pierced through his torso. In an instant, his belly swelled up like a burst sac, and his insides gushed out onto the deck. Xu Shuo was briefly stunned, then sharply turned to look! He saw the decayed black ship, which seemed to have grown hair, with countless thin, black tentacles writhing all around—thick as a forest! But another sailor on the ship was oblivious to this, his eyes wide open in excitement, an unnatural flush on his face, as he radiated excitement, greed, and desire! This sailor quickly climbed onto the rail and threw himself towards the myriad tentacles on the opposite side! "Beauties! Beauties!" Whoosh— He leaped across and was instantly penetrated by countless tentacles, his flesh and blood torn apart midair, consumed down to the last drop. This scene left the other sailors, already in the throes of madness, utterly frozen. For apart from those two sailors who saw the black ship's glowing, jeweled exterior, the rest of the crew saw a sinister and bleak ghost ship! Now, the ghost ship had begun to feed. Old Zhou had just reached the central cabin, intending to secretly release Xu, but upon seeing this scene, he too became petrified. The young sailor was so frightened he dared not move. Suddenly, the flailing black tentacles moved again! They surged like a colossal wave of blackness, rushing in the same direction and violently crashing down onto the Daping Hao! "Bang!" The Daping Hao's bilge was pierced by countless tentacles, and sea water gushed into the gaping hole crazily, the entire ship shook violently, starting to tilt to the right! At that moment, Xu Shuo quickly darted aside. Because the tentacles were attacking him. They showed no hesitation, ignoring the other terrified prey on the ship, and pursued the young man with maniacal focus! After dodging the first attack, Xu Shuo didn't pause for even half a second, accessed the Player's Handbook in less than a second, and used the Character Card, immediately altering the aura around him. At that time, the tentacles that had pierced the ship and changed direction were already rushing at him again. But they halted three inches from the young man's body, unable to advance any further. Xu Shuo had directly used the Alpha Character Card. The Mind Network skillfully unfolded, encompassing the vast seascape, both ships, all the people, and every detail within sight into his mind! Suddenly, he looked towards the spot he had just been standing. Xu Shuo's expression didn't change, but his eyes flickered as if he had noticed something very interesting. The corner of his mouth turned up slightly. ...
