There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Dragon Boat Festival, going to work is difficult. Radiant Game Studio actually had quite a few people around, with staff from various departments remaining, and Pei Sheng's team was even fully present. In these past few days, his project team had finally recruited enough people, and the new equipment had already arrived, so at this moment they were working vigorously—and no one knew how Pei Sheng did it, but their team's morale seemed exceptionally high. Xu Shuo's office was cleverly positioned; from this angle, through the one-way glass wall, one could see most parts of the studio except for the private rooms. So now, he was resting his chin in his hands. Facing the nearby Pei Sheng project team, he stared at Los, whose hands flew rapidly over the keyboard as he worked at his computer. Since Luo Kai had asked him again today about the death of that giant octopus, Xu Shuo had also picked up this question and began pondering it again. At that time, he seemed to have sensed another power. This power had killed the giant octopus with a single blow, and even holding the Alpha Character Card, he hadn't been able to detect any trace. Now, thinking about it carefully, Xu Shuo had reason to suspect that this mysterious person working as a programmer in his own studio had done it—there was no evidence, just his unfounded speculation. After all, as far as he knew, in Yangcheng, this person was the only one who could observe the invisible state of Themis, so the other's strength was certainly not to be underestimated and might not even be weaker than Themis. Moreover, this person had been given a 'good person' card by Themis's simple Judgement. Xu Shuo was contemplating this when, he suddenly noticed that Themis had sent him a message. Shi: [I'm here!] Xu Shuo: "emmm..." That's why I say, Dragon Boat Festival makes it difficult to go to work. ... The usual place. Shi sat there, sunlight streaming through the glass windows and spilling onto the booth, casting a dazzling glow on his radiant golden hair, which, in a moment of distraction, seemed even brighter than the sunlight itself. "Did any Abyss incursions happen in this world while I was away?" The moment Shi saw Xu Shuo, he went straight to the point. Xu Shuo sat down in the seat opposite, smiling, "Actually, it was just once, but it happened on the second day after you left this world; that's when the problem arose." Shi sighed with relief upon hearing this: "That's a relief. If there isn't a trend of frequent incursions, then it means that this world probably hasn't caught the attention of the Abyss Behemoth yet, or else the spatial barrier would collapse in a very short time." "Abyss Behemoth?" Xu Shuo paused. "It means the Abyss Darkness envelops this world on a large scale. After all, you know, that sticky darkness always forms various odd things, and when the density of darkness is high enough, it forms something super big!" Shi pondered and continued, "Something big enough to cover this whole planet?" Xu Shuo: "... Now that's really big." In comparison, the octopus in the sea, which was only about the size of a mountain, really wasn't worth mentioning. Thinking of this, Xu Shuo recounted to Shi the events that had occurred in "The Ship from the Nautical Legend", including the part where he used the Alpha Character Card to implant suggestions in Xu's mind without concealing anything. After all, Shi had known he possessed this card for a while, and the Mind Network had already been demonstrated before him. Xu Shuo suddenly felt like he was laid bare in front of this person, but fortunately, he hadn't used the other special Character Cards and special skills. Upon hearing this, Shi was startled: "Time discrepancy? Can I go see the scene of the incident?" Xu Shuo raised an eyebrow: "It's possible, but..." But because there were two scenes of the incident. And about the second, current-world incident scene, he hadn't asked Luo Kai for details, so he directly dialed the phone of Luo Kai, who had just left that morning. "Themis wants to see you." Luo Kai: ? Luo Kai: ?! Luo Kai: !!! ... Off the coast of Xinnan district. The three sat on a rented boat, setting out to sea using the traditional sailing techniques. Xu Shuo noticed that Luo Kai, the rascal, had surprisingly dressed in a relatively decent outfit. His wild, naturally curly black hair was tucked under a hat, and even the stubble that had freely grown on his chin was shaved off, instantly transforming him from a "vagabond out of a trash heap" into a "young lad who wanders the world". So, it turns out, this guy was not much older than Xu Shuo after all. At that moment, Luo Kai was standing at the stern, looking ahead reverently at the figure in front of him. Shi stood at the bow, seriously surveying the surroundings. When his face was expressionless, he exuded a formidable sense of authority that seemed untouchable, his handsome features and golden hair, more radiant than the sun, gave him an awe-inspiring holiness. As long as one didn't converse with him for more than ten sentences, that aura would probably maintain itself in one's heart. "Did you call him over specially to check on things because of Sister Xu?" Luo Kai asked softly, looking sideways at Xu Shuo. "No," answered Xu Shuo, sounding indifferent. He had only mentioned the Abyss to Themis; it was he who had volunteered to come. Although Xu Shuo said that. However, when he turned to look at Luo Kai, he saw a complex look on the latter's face, showing a mix of being moved, pensive, relieved, and finally a knowing expression, after which Luo Kai let out a deep sigh. Xu Shuo: "..." What had this guy imagined now? Luo Kai continued in a low voice, "So, he came here to deal with this situation after all, didn't he?" Xu Shuo nodded. And then the expression on Luo Kai's face became even more certain. He folded his arms and mused, "You know, this world is always filled with all sorts of nuisances; after all, no person is perfect, nor is the world, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth saving anymore." Luo Kai seemed to be attempting to offer some words of encouragement. But no matter what he said, Xu Shuo remained unmoved, his gaze fixed on Shi's figure. Seeing this, Luo Kai paused before changing the subject, "Speaking of which, it must be almost time for university decisions to be announced, right? Has Xi decided on her college yet?" Xu Shuo looked at him strangely. After three seconds of eye contact, Luo Kai realized, "Cough, it's just a cuter way to address her." Xu Shuo withdrew his gaze, "She's staying in Yangcheng; chances are she'll get into Normal University." As the Normal University Affiliated High School is a practice school of Yangcheng Normal University, once they learned Xu Xi intended to stay in Yangcheng, the university quickly sent a guidance counselor to negotiate with her in the hope of convincing her to continue her studies there. Since Xu Shuo had relinquished the choice of which university to attend to Xu Xi, he had not been involved in any further negotiations. In fact, if one is to choose a local university, most residents of Yangcheng would prefer Normal University, as it's a landmark institution in the city. Luo Kai thought carefully, but not being from Yangcheng nor understanding the prestige of Yangcheng Normal University, he didn't quite grasp its significance. But he knew how to act. So he immediately expressed heartfelt praise, "Normal University is great! Little Sister Xi is really amazing. She'll definitely be a valuable asset to society after her studies!" Xu Shuo paid him no mind, still fixing his gaze on Shi's silhouette, squinting slightly. Because as they conversed, Shi had already begun to glow, unnoticed. A mysterious aura emanated from him, similar to what Xu Shuo had sensed in the underground garage—the aura was divine, bright, grand, and boundless, like an endless universe and the vast ocean of stars. In Xu Shuo's mind, the violin suddenly played a joyous tune. The next moment, seemingly sensing the activity behind him, Shi quickly turned his head to look over. Those were a pair of bright golden eyes, as if belonging to a deity. ...
