There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

The colossal shadow that burst through the houses swelled like an overinflated balloon.

But the surface of this balloon was uneven, and from the faint shadows, it was clear that it was covered with more round parasitic entities, squirming in the dim light as if they were breathing.

The next moment, a shrill cry like that of a wailing baby pierced the night!

The sound was grating and chilling to the extreme, like a demon's screech or the agonized shouts of countless people of different ages and genders, which ultimately amalgamated into the infantile cries of a baby!

A sinister and cold aura began to spread.

Screams rose from the village, one after another; the crowd was only in disarray for a moment before dense gunfire followed.

However, in a short while, the gunshots tapered off, the people running in the faint light were not attacked, but they began to feel weak and pained.

In the bushes behind the electric grid.

The unlit cigarette Luo Kai held in his mouth slowly dropped to the ground as he stared dumbfounded at the scream-emitting creature nearby, half-convinced he had stumbled into the Script Space.

"Damn, this isn't following the supernatural route..."

Sometimes, it was actually nice to follow the supernatural route.

At least, there was no need to face an Abyss Creature that could erode one's mind.

As he was reflecting, Xu Shuo stood up and retreated in the opposite direction; by the time Luo Kai turned his head, he saw the young man standing thirty meters away, gazing at him from afar.

Luo Kai: "..."

He suddenly came to his senses and quickly looked toward the village, only to see the monstrous creature under the searchlights looking twisted and bizarre!

The monster was moving toward them!

In the darkness, something on the ground appeared to be wriggling, supporting the creature's three-to-four-meter-large body as it inched forward with the silence of an ordinary person's stroll.

The chaotic yet seemingly ordered cries of infants still echoed throughout the village.

One mustn't listen too closely, doing so would befuddle the mind.

Luo Kai didn't choose to retreat, after all, he had come here to investigate the affairs of the village and brought Xu Shuo just in case and for additional support.

But seeing Xu Shuo retreat and the monster approach, Luo Kai suddenly remembered something.

Back on the Green-skin Train, that guy seemed to attract the monster's attention...

Thinking about it, when he brought Xu Shuo aboard the train, it was also to use the other to attract the monster's attention.

But now that he thought about it...

Forget it, the monster had already been lured out.

Luo Kai took out his long sword with a ruby embedded at the hilt from his guidebook; the silver blade glinted in the darkness, and the ruby at the grip shined brilliantly.

After the sword appeared, the air seemed to become hotter.

"Tsk, Abyss Creatures showing up and still there are restrictions." Luo Kai's fingertips touched the blade, and then he pulled a wry smile.

The Script Space didn't fully unlock its props, to prevent disturbing the world's Order, the space generally only allowed powers equivalent to the nature of the world.

If the world was devoid of any supernatural elements, the powers of the Script Space wouldn't be unlocked at all.

If the world's rule changed slightly, common Defensive Items and medical props would be available, but weapons and Damage Props would only be selectively accessible.

For example, although Luo Kai could take out his Life-bound Sword, it couldn't utilize its Divine Power.

He couldn't draw on the energy in his blood for an attack.

This was a second-tier restriction.

As a result, he was half a player.

"Damn Script Space!"

Luo Kai cursed, then with a swift swing of his sword, he shattered the electric fence in front of him and dashed forward as fast as lightning!

...

Xu Shuo leaned against a tree trunk not far off, watching the scene unfold.

The transaction amount was the usual thousand points for their cooperation, he joined Luo Kai to investigate the incident site, and would provide assistance when necessary, with full payment upon completion.

Considering he wanted to check things out himself, Xu Shuo didn't haggle over the advance payment.

Of course, he wasn't responsible for stepping up in a fight.

After all, Luo Kai was a Level Four player, while he just leveled up to Level Two a few days ago, one couldn't expect him to be extraordinarily powerful, right?

Xu Shuo stood comfortably in the backline, and as Luo Kai charged at the monster attempting to attack, he also stepped towards the broken electric fence then circled around to the other side, keeping his distance from the creature as much as possible.

After passing the electric fence, the stench of rot became even more intense.

When the monster's scream reached his ears, it felt as though a cacophony was resounding in his mind, the darkness in front of his eyes appeared to be shaking and leaping, causing confusion and anxiety.

And as all five senses were affected by the monster, rational thought and consciousness began to blur, eventually leading to a loss of self until one was completely assimilated by the creature.

Xu Shuo calmly took a pill from his pocket and swallowed it.

This was a Defensive Item Hong Rao had got from Doctor Chu after being startled, which offered instant mental clarity and smooth thinking with just one pill.

He then surveyed the small village.

The armed forces that came to seal off the village numbered over a hundred, but only half were still standing firm, while the other half laid on the ground, their fates unknown, and oddly without any wounds on their bodies.

Moreover, this situation was rapidly spreading, almost like a one-sided collapse!
