There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 688

Chapter 688: Chapter 589: The Changes in This World Chapter 688: Chapter 589: The Changes in This World It absolutely couldn’t be a crush!

In fact, Xu Shuo couldn’t recall anything about the girl’s face except that she had a nice figure and presence.

He had no impression of her face whatsoever!

Even at that time, it seemed like he hadn’t paid any attention to her looks at all!

So it definitely couldn’t be a crush!

It wasn’t so much that he was smitten, rather, it was the delayed BUFF left by Los after he had released his control over the spiritual power through the Alpha Character Card.

That guy seemed to easily provoke people’s desires.

...

So that wasn’t a psychological “heartbeat”, just a physiological “heartbeat” for a moment.

How novel.

Xu Shuo found his own reaction quite novel.

He didn’t think of himself as frigid, just that his interest in girls required stricter conditions.

He couldn’t quite put his finger on what those were, but if fate had it, he would meet someone eventually.

But it definitely wouldn’t be a chance encounter as baffling as this one!

He had seen plenty of women with that sort of presence before.

How could he suddenly become interested in this one?

Thinking it over, it all came back to Los.

In any case, Xu Shuo wouldn’t acknowledge it.

“So you’re saying it’s not a crush?

You took several glances at her and even observed that sister’s thighs.

You’ve never been this impolite before,”

Xu Xi said with an expressionless face, her tone calm.

Xu Shuo wiped his mouth with a napkin and said helplessly, “Don’t focus on these weird things.”

Xu Xi said, “You’re twenty-four this year.”

Xu Shuo: “You’re only eighteen this year.”

Xu Xi: “My criteria for courtship have long been set.

If someone’s academic ranking is above mine, I’m willing to consider dating them.

It’s just that no one in my grade has managed that, so the condition still counts in university.”

Xu Shuo: “Don’t misuse words.

And relationships shouldn’t be based solely on external achievements; personality matters too.

Eat your noodles.”

Xu Xi seemed pensive as she picked up and ate a meatball from her bowl, but her eyes remained fixed on the young man opposite her.

By the end of supper.

Xu Xi was barely convinced.

Her brother didn’t seem to have any intention of finding a girlfriend after all.

The reaction earlier was probably because that sister had hit his aesthetic sweet spot.

Tall figure, professional air, efficient.

Keywords get!

…

Unfortunately, those keywords didn’t seem to have anything to do with Lily.

After washing the dishes, Xu Xi nestled on the couch playing with her phone, which had several caring texts from Yang Lili.

The news of Peace Street being sealed off quickly spread through Yangcheng news.

The official reason for the lockdown was the discovery of a highly contagious virus, necessitating health checks and collective management of everyone in the area.

Until then, no one was allowed to leave.

Xu Xi: [I’m fine and not infected, the officials let me go home after a check-up, but I might not be able to leave Peace Street for a while.]

Yang Lili: [That’s good, I was scared to death.

The news made it look like a big deal, and even special forces went there.]

Xu Xi: [That’s probably not the special forces.]

Yang Lili: [But they had guns!!]

Seeing this, Xu Xi exited the chat.

She searched online for information about the “Safety Bureau for the Pollution Source Prevention and Control Support,” and after finding the official website was publicly accessible, she reassuredly shared the link.

Xu Xi: [See if they have this logo.]

Yang Lili: [It seems like they do, I saw this logo in a video someone uploaded, but the video was taken down quickly.]

Yang Lili: [But what is this department?

I don’t quite understand.??]

Xu Xi: [It’s an organization specializing in infectious diseases, I guess.]

Yang Lili: [Yikes.gif]

Yang Lili: [Infectious diseases are terrifying, Xi and Xu Shuo, be careful at home!]

Xu Xi: [Okay.jpg]

Aside from Xu Xi exchanging updates with friends,

Xu Shuo had received several phone calls.

This situation was different from the Ghost Ship incident.

Such extensive and rigorous blockades simply couldn’t be kept secret.

Unlike the secluded riverside of Xinnan District, Heiyu District was located right in the heart of Yangcheng, and at the peak hour for office workers to head home, they found they couldn’t return.

Chaos had already broken out all over Yangcheng.

Online, the situation was even more tumultuous.

It was said that someone had sneaked into Peace Street to record a video, but after being caught, they never reappeared, and their family was taken away as well.

There were also rumors stating that the infectious disease was fatal and incurable, which was why the officials had taken such drastic measures.

In no time, the internet was abuzz with rumors.

Panic, fueled by speculation and intimidation, spread invisibly, and then netizens quickly found that their internet was restricted.

Search for topics—

The network was jammed.

Post comments—

The network was jammed.

Create private groups to discuss secretly.

In less than three minutes, the whole group was shut down.

Netizens: “…”

They wouldn’t let them discuss!

But that only made them more determined to discuss!

Set up ladders, climb out, and discuss!

After Xu Xi browsed on her phone for a while, she saw Xu Shuo finishing his calls, his arms cradling his laptop, coming out to deal with work.

“Brother, can’t we announce this incident to the public at all?” Xu Xi asked curiously.

“Someday it will be announced, but not now, because people need time to adapt.

If we suddenly tell the public that our world has been invaded by monsters, the entire social order would be thrown into chaos,” Xu Shuo said without looking back.

“But I feel…”

Xu Xi looked towards the balcony, “It looks like they can’t hide it for much longer.”

The sky had completely darkened.

Night had fallen, with no bright moonlight or the soothing breeze of summer, just a coolness in the air.

Suddenly,

the sound of rain began to patter outside.

Without any warning, nor the prelude of thunder and lightning, and devoid of misty haze enveloping the sky,

a sudden downpour descended upon the street, and if someone were to turn on the water tap at home, they would find that the water supply was cut off.

Xu Xi rose from the couch, walked to the balcony, and looked up at the rain falling from the sky.

She stretched out her hand.

Raindrops pitter-pattered onto her palm, dancing with tiny, gleaming particles, emitting a fresh and comforting essence.

The rain seemed to make the air especially fresh.

“This isn’t ordinary rain.”

Xu Shuo appeared behind her at some point, leaning lazily against the balcony railing, letting the raindrops burst upon him, a thin mist forming upon his hair.

The massive machinery of the officials still had some strength left.

The measures Captain Zheng had spoken of took the form of localized rainfall over the entire district, with the Purification power contained within the water scattering across every inch of the land and buildings.

Then merging underground, into the sewers, into every facet of life that was vitally connected to the people, silently nourishing everything.

Xu Shuo smiled, “Pretty clever.”

He turned and went back inside to continue working on his computer.

Xu Xi remained on the balcony, her head tilted slightly upwards, her dark and serene eyes gazing at the sky.

This world had really changed so much.
