There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 452 - 392: An Effective Way to Capture Xu Shuo Get√

In the subway station.

Luo Kai followed the train tracks, walking all the way to the next stop after Gangwan North Station, clearing everything that needed to be cleared, yet he didn’t encounter the Abyss Rift.

The range of radiation from the Abyss Domain was actually only about a hundred meters, and Luo Kai had gone to the next station just to be on the safe side. Your next journey awaits at novelbuddy

Afterward, he turned around and walked back, intending to take a trip to the other side as well.

Just at that moment, a red dot popped up in the upper right corner of his vision.

It was a message from Script Space.

When Luo Kai opened the Player’s Handbook and saw that the message was from Xu Shuo, his first reaction was to think that some emergency had occurred again at Gangwan North platform, until he unfolded the list of messages.

[There’s nothing much here so I’m heading back first, also, don’t forget to transfer the other half of the reward to my account, fifty-fifty.]

Luo Kai: "..." He was at a loss for what facial expression to make for a moment.

Didn’t he say he wasn’t short on cash recently?

So how could he still remember the other half of the reward??

Suddenly, Luo Kai felt that if he ever needed to ask that guy for help again, there was no need for any basic probing, directly showing him the money would be more effective than any amount of talk!

He had seen through this guy’s true nature!

As Luo Kai grumbled internally, he was indeed met with the absence of a certain person’s presence when he returned to Gangwan North Station.

He then made a round trip to the station before Gangwan North and finally left the platform on the third underground level.

...

The official armed forces were guarding the second underground level.

Although they had noticed that the darkness below the stairwell entrance was not as dense, they were uncertain of the specific situation and thus, no one attempted to go down to investigate.

With time passing, the atmosphere here grew more and more solemn; everyone’s grip tightened on their rifles, intently staring down the stairs.

It wasn’t until they saw Luo Kai’s silhouette, with a cigarette hanging from his lips, appearing in the stairwell that they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Shao Dandan was huddled on the rest chair, her gaze fixed on the stairway entrance as if she could bore holes through it.

If those two people had failed to seal the entity, she would likely have had to take their place, even though the memory of being slaughtered still filled her with overwhelming fear.

But fortunately, the unkempt uncle came out unscathed, looking as world-weary as he did when he entered.

This meant that his strength was very possibly above that of the Level Three monster!

A Level Four player, ah!

Alright, Yang City is secured!

Shao Dandan let out a complete sigh of relief and put away her broken, nearly disintegrated copper mirror.

It was her only high-level item, capable of absorbing the essence of objects it reflected and converting it into energy for the item’s upgrade, but the downside was that the item would suffer damage each time it was used.

So, although it grew stronger with each upgrade, it also had fewer and fewer uses.

The external condition of the copper mirror had visibly deteriorated from a fine product of the boutique city to the production of a waste station.

Shao Dandan sighed with melancholy, her gaze falling upon the decrepit uncle who came up the stairs, then suddenly she paused.

Eh? Wasn’t there one person missing?

Suddenly, Shao Dandan’s heart skipped a beat!

In just this short span of time, she had already imagined countless possible story endings, even coming up with names for Xu Xi’s future children!

"Mr. Luo, what about the other person who went down with you?" At that moment, the leading officer asked the question that was on her mind.

"Oh, he left earlier."

As Luo Kai said this, he lit another cigarette, pondering the question in his mind—these people hadn’t seen Xu Shuo ascend, could it be that the guy had deliberately left in an unconventional manner?

Truly as cautious as to be hair-raising!

It’s really not that bad.

Luo Kai then looked towards Shao Dandan, who was sitting not far away, her gaze just now had been incredibly fervent.

This was the second player Luo Kai had encountered in Yang City.

In the past, traveling all over the world, encountering a player was as rare as winning the lottery; yet now, in just a short month, he had already run into two.

The feng shui of Yang City must be pretty good!

"Shall we add each other as friends? Our world is undergoing changes right now, and situations like this may become more common in the future," Luo Kai walked over and said to her.

Shao Dandan was stunned for a moment before she nodded vigorously: "Of course!"

She was somewhat secretly delighted: a sucker coming to her on his own shouldn’t be refused—if she encountered any problems in the future, she could just call him over to fight the monsters!

After adding her as a friend and seeing her level, Luo Kai instantly felt a tinge of melancholy.

He sighed silently to himself: Another low-rank player, probably joined Script Space in the last two months. I was thinking about calling her if something came up, but it seems that plan won’t work.

Guess I should use money to entice the other person. At least that one seems more reliable.

He could potentially be more reliable...

In the evening, dusk brought another peak period of traffic congestion.

Although the issue at Gangwan North station had been resolved, there were obviously many loose ends to be tied up, and it was unlikely to reopen anytime soon.

After leaving the subway station, Xu Shuo slept in the car for a while, then timed his trip to pick up Xu Xi from work.

"Did the work discussion go smoothly?"

Xu Xi sat in the passenger seat, gazing at the young man who appeared somewhat exhausted, and asked without changing her expression.

Xu Shuo, who was checking the map for routes without traffic jams, responded without looking up: "Not bad, the trip out gave us a new plan. The new project is a simpler one. If you’re interested, you can get involved too."

"Eh?" Xu Xi blinked in surprise.

Does this mean she could help out at the studio?

Xu Xi still kept her expressionless face, but there was a flicker of nervousness in her heart. She tentatively asked, "Does that mean I can learn by observing on the side?"

Xu Shuo nodded: "For the new project, I plan to create a card strategy game aimed at teenagers, targeting not just boys but also girls. You’ve played a lot of games, so if you have any suggestions, you can mention them later."

Xu Xi straight away sat up straight, pondering carefully: "A game targeting both genders will need to consider quite a few elements."

"What else?" Xu Shuo encouraged gently.

"Also, to attract players, it shouldn’t conflict with the saturated gaming market of today, right?" Xu Xi was like a student answering questions.

"Pretty much, now you can think about how to do that."

"Hmm..."

Xu Xi truly fell into deep thought.

She kept filtering through the games she had played in her mind, trying to extract useful experiences—due to her brother’s work, she often got to play various kinds of games.

Everyone knew that Xu Xi, the top scholar from the Teachers’ College, was a study prodigy, but nobody was aware that the study prodigy played more games than the worst students!

This was the first time her brother had asked her to be involved in a studio project, and Xu Xi was exceptionally serious!

She absolutely couldn’t let her brother down!

Xu Shuo, who’d deftly changed the topic without her noticing, didn’t disturb her thoughts any further. He yawned quietly and drove along less congested routes to leisurely slip back home.

Even though he had taken a nap in the afternoon, the overexertion of ’spiritual power’ earlier left Xu Shuo still feeling quite exhausted.

It was the mind that was awake, not the brain.
