There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Regardless, Xu was still handed over to Xu Shuo. He, with the completely bewildered girl in tow, turned and walked towards the port side of the ship, then pointed at the sampan hidden in the shadow of the midship, saying calmly, "Go. Old Zhou told you to leave on this boat by yourself." Xu: "???" Shouldn't he first explain to her what exactly was happening at this stage? Xu Shuo, seeing that Xu was still looking dumbfounded, directly picked her up and threw her towards the small boat. "Thud!" Xu landed on the sampan, looked up anxiously, and asked, "Wait! What about Grandpa? And you guys?!" "You just need to take care of yourself," Xu Shuo said as he started to untie the mooring rope. "Wait!" At this moment, the equally perplexed young sailor came to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward to push Xu Shuo aside, and then took a metal compass out of his pocket. He caressed the compass as if it were a treasure, then tossed it down and looked at Xu with deep affection, saying, "Xu, you need to leave quickly. Once Boss Zhou has taken care of the situation here, we will set out to catch up with you." Xu caught the compass, confused, and asked, "Then why can't you all leave with me now?" The young sailor opened his mouth but was at a loss for what to say. That was because he also realized, Xu seemed completely unaffected by the eerie black ship next to the Daping Hao, which meant Xu might not have been ensnared by the Ghost Ship's magic. And it also meant that perhaps only Xu could leave this sea. In fact, when the chaos started, the young sailor had the thought of "taking the opportunity to kill Old Zhou and then escaping with Xu." But the moment he saw Xu, he unhesitatingly discarded this foolish idea. Because if he were on the boat, perhaps Xu wouldn't be able to leave this place either. He truly wished the girl well. Thinking this, the young sailor suddenly drew the cutlass at his waist and forcefully cut the rope that connected the sampan with the Daping Hao. With the rope gone, the sampan drifted aimlessly like a water hyacinth, bobbing on the rolling waves as it floated out to sea. Looking at the dazed Xu, the young sailor smiled and said, "Xu, just follow the direction of the compass needle and keep going straight on this path. Don't forget, Boss Zhou's Leading Star Technique is very powerful; there will be no issues finding you later." Xu's expression turned mournful as if she realized something, the mist in her eyes gathering into teardrops and sliding down her cheeks. She choked up and asked, "Are you lying to me?" The young sailor smiled, "No." "Then can I wait here for you?" Xu asked again. "No!" the young sailor immediately shook his head. "Why, is it because you are lying to me?" Xu held back her tears as she looked at him. "Because you can't do anything, and we don't need you here. You staying would only cause us trouble!" the young sailor said through clenched teeth. "…" Xu. The young sailor thought for a moment, then added a bit embarrassingly, "Besides, I just told Boss Zhou that I intend to marry you, and he agreed. So don't worry, I wouldn't miss such a wonderful opportunity." These words made Xu stare in shock, forgetting even to cry, a hint of blush creeping onto her pale cheeks. It wasn't until the sampan drifted far away that Xu suddenly snapped to her senses. She quickly stood up and shouted at the Daping Hao, "I'll just keep going straight, not changing course; you must come after me!" The young sailor replied, "We will!" "I… I will follow the direction of the Water Compass's needle; you definitely mustn't go the wrong way!" Xu shouted again loudly. The young sailor waved at her. The sea seemed to be pushing her boat forward, and in the blink of an eye, the distance between the sampan and the Daping Hao widened by several meters, leaving Xu only able to see a few vague silhouettes on the ship. The young sailor stood at the ship's railing, still waving at her. Under the night sky, his faintly visible face seemed to carry a tender smile. She couldn't hold it in; her tears fell in torrents. Xu then turned to look for Old Zhou, but only the raised ship's rail blocked her view, allowing her only to see the cutlass waving high in the air. It was as if a curtain of night had been drawn down, blocking the view towards which she was trying to look, and when she tried to peer through the mists, it seemed as though a shadow play was performing hazy silhouettes on the other side. In her daze, the boundless sea seemed to have left only this sampan behind. And she was alone, adrift. Xu bent down, hugging the Compass tightly and couldn't help but cry out loud. Her teary eyes blurred her vision, and she could no longer see the Daping Hao. Darkness engulfed her from all sides; the sea's surface and night sky merged, revealing that the stars above were not as bright as she had thought. Dead silence surrounded her, dazed; she curled up in a corner, sobbing. It was then that she thought she heard a sound. Xu was startled, but it was as if a drowning person had found a lifeline, and she quickly suppressed her sobs to listen carefully. The voice seemed to be coming from inside her head. A soft, deep voice incessantly narrated something, gently murmuring in her mind, without pause, like a broken record repeating the same phrase, as if intent on deeply engraving the words into the recesses of her consciousness. Listening quietly to these words, Xu's turbulent emotions gradually calmed down. As she listened, she repeated them softly to herself. Because subconsciously, she felt that she had to remember these words. And she had to survive and leave this place. ... ... Aboard the Daping Hao. The three people watched the small boat drift away. Once it was out of sight, the young sailor, having composed his emotions, took a deep breath, raised his large cleaver, and charging at the other sailors on the deck with a ferocious yell, he revealed underlying apprehension! By now, Luo Kai's complex emotions had also settled. He lit a cigarette and sighed, "The story has branched off into a subplot; we might need one of us to go to Xu's side and progress that part of the plot." Xu Shuo appeared contemplative upon hearing this. "Then does the Daping Hao have its own storyline to follow as well?" Luo Kai nodded. "It's tough to make a choice when a side plot appears because there might be essential details to be incorporated into the main storyline here as well." "How do you extract the script when you're alone then?" Xu Shuo couldn't help but ask. "I repeat the extraction several times. If the story ends but the progress bar isn't complete, I enter the script again until all plotlines are completed," Luo Kai explained. "So you can exit at any time?" "Yes." "..." After they finished speaking, they fell silent again. They were now faced with two choices: either Luo Kai or Xu Shuo would proceed with Xu's storyline. And the one who stayed might have to deal with the huge creature lurking beneath the ship. However, the plot presented another fact—clearly, Xu's side was the main storyline, so it would be better for Luo Kai, as the director, to go there. Since, compared to a thriller narrative, the investigative aspect in an emotional script is secondary; the overall storyline is what's important. If Luo Kai stayed behind and this wasn't the primary plot, he would probably have to re-enter the story if the script extraction wasn't complete. Luo Kai thought for a moment and was just about to speak when Xu Shuo interrupted him: "I'll stay; you go to Xu." "Huh?" Luo Kai was startled. "Why?" "Quick resolution," Xu Shuo said flatly. "...Alright." Luo Kai did not doubt this person's abilities. After all, in his imagination, there must be a powerful team backing him up. "After finishing the plot over there, I'll rush back as soon as I can. I think we'll probably have to defeat this BOSS for a proper ending. If you can't hold on, just quit our team directly, and you'll be ejected from the story," Luo Kai said. Xu Shuo nodded. "I understand." But just as Luo Kai was stepping on the gunwale, ready to jump and catch up with Xu, Xu Shuo suddenly thought of something. He quickly asked, "Will it still cost money then?" Luo Kai stumbled in response. "Yes!" ...
