There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

"Hehe~"

The Little Ghost arrogantly tilted its head back.

This fellow was also good at pretending.

When it first entered the Script Space, because it was far from the Abyss, it wasn't confident it could capture Xu Shuo and thus suppressed its desire to devour, acting like a good child sticking close to him.

It wasn't until the train drew closer and closer to the Abyss that it began to let loose, eventually unable to restrain itself and darkening ahead of time.

Now, the Abyss had entered the carriage!

It no longer needed to pretend to be weak and small!

"Boom!"

Suddenly, it seemed as if a massive object had fallen onto the roof, causing the car walls, eroded by darkness, to cave in with a large dent.

The darkness approached, and an extremely cold and gloomy breath spread from the rear of carriage number twelve.

This was the breath of the Abyss!

The other three people in the carriage held their breath, a fear they couldn't suppress rising from deep within, and their mental resolve was on the verge of collapse!

The Little Ghost, which had been smug just moments ago, abruptly looked up at the roof with a trace of anger on its face.

It commanded the dark creatures to release Xu Shuo; the sticky substance dispersed, swiftly clinging to the four corners of the compartment, and more darkness braced against the dented roof.

"Boom!"

Another loud noise came from the roof.

The next moment, the entire thirteenth carriage shook violently, and the body of the train leaned down a bit further as the thing outside, unable to break through the carriage, started to shake it furiously.

Suddenly, a ferocious black monster appeared at the window, its huge crimson eyes scanning the situation within the carriage.

The entire window was not as big as that eye, which could only be fully perceived through several nearby windows pieced together.

The crimson glow emanating from the eye fell into the dark carriage, casting eerie images.

The three players were crouching under their seats, looking at each other, silent as chickens.

They didn't dare to directly look into that eye.

Even as the darkness of the Abyss crawled up from under their feet, they didn't dare to make a purifying move, only enduring the erosion in their minds.

They didn't even dare to let their heartbeats be heard.

So naturally, the gaze of that eye landed on the girl standing in the center of the carriage, majestic and dignified.

The color crimson gradually took on a cruel and greedy hue.

But in the next moment, the Little Ghost in the carriage angrily stepped in front of Xu Shuo, showing its sharp teeth toward the red eye, making a silent threat.

The red-eyed monster was unmoved, roaring furiously, the "bang bang bang" sound of it striking the carriage incessantly!

But no matter how hard it tried, it could not penetrate the rickety train; the most damage it could inflict was a dent in the roof and shattered glass in the windows.

However, its body was too large, not even its claws could squeeze through the window, it could only rage impotently outside.

The three players hiding under the seats, seeing this, breathed a sigh of relief and, without worrying about being noticed by the Little Ghost in the carriage, quickly took out their various purification items.

The first to be contaminated, the young man, showed minimal erosion. Taking a Paladin's stance, the spreading darkness only reached his ankles.

But the calves of the other two had already turned black.

The female white-collar worker was in a dire state; she could no longer sustain the Protective Shield, and darkness roamed freely around the three of them.

"Two more minutes, just hang in there," the Male Salesman looked at her and said.

"..."

The female white-collar worker didn't speak but simply clutched her mouth tightly.

The Abyss erodes the spirit, and even though they could keep their outward appearance normal, the chaos in their brains could only be endured by willpower alone.

Given the abilities the female white-collar had shown before, she should be on the combat side.

With this thought, the Male Salesman raised his head again, looking toward the girl who brazenly stood in the center of the carriage, still arrogantly beckoning to the monster outside as if worrying that the current problem wasn't big enough.

The darkness climbing onto her just made her aura even more sinister.

Moreover, the other side could control the Dark Power here.

Generally speaking, the Script Space does not produce Character Cards on the dark side, because players simply cannot withstand this kind of mental erosion, let alone the Abyss which is the enemy that Script Space is meant to counter.

So what exactly could this person's identity be?

As he stared spellbound at the girl, Xu Shuo suddenly turned his head to look in his direction, startling the Male Salesman into quickly averted his gaze.

Although being watched by the girl did not cause mental erosion, there was an unsettling feeling about it.

Xu Shuo withdrew his gaze from over there.

He knew there were people hiding there; he just couldn't see them.

Now he was more interested in the monster outside—because this train, no matter what kind of setting it had been augmented with, even if the Little Ghost was weak as could be, to this train it was the dominator.

This train could only be destroyed by it.

So no matter how powerful the monster outside might be, it could only cause some superficial commotion, it couldn't even get in.

It was apparent that the monster wanted to eat him, too.

Xu Shuo clicked his tongue and said, "Why don't you go outside and fight that monster first? Otherwise, who should I let eat me?"

The Little Ghost gave him a glare and licked its lips.

"Clang!"

The entire train suddenly shook violently, now tilting at ninety degrees, as if they were little figures trapped in a box being wildly shaken by something outside!

Xu Shuo's body was fixed inside the carriage by Dark Matter, unshaken no matter how it was rattled, only feeling a bit dizzy in the head.
