There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

He gripped the staff firmly, and when the monster reached a distance that seemed appropriate, he didn't back off but instead charged straight ahead!

The dark green staff refracted a dull light under the dim glow as the young man rushed towards the monster and leapt fiercely. The swelling body magnified in his eyes, and its head, devoid of features, madly turned in his direction!

Xu Shuo held the staff with a backhand grip and, as he fell, he sliced down fiercely!

Hissss—!

The metal tip tore through the monster's seemingly soft body, ripping a huge gash that immediately spilled black viscous fluid all over the ground, accompanied by a piercing scream from the monster that almost burst his eardrums!

Amidst the dense and chaotic screeches, a powerful shockwave came rushing at him!

The moment Xu Shuo landed, he instantly dodged to the side and hid behind a wall, followed by a thunderous "boom"!

It was like the noise Luo Kai made when he smashed through a house charging over.

The strong impact caused the roof of Xu Shuo's hiding place to fly off, the walls to burst, and even the ground slightly shook, stirring up dust and fine particles in the dim light.

After the house was shattered into pieces, the young man's figure was revealed once again.

The monster, nearly torn apart, wailed as a stream of pitch-black viscous substance continuously flowed from its belly, and its parasitic heads moved wildly and screamed, the sound growing increasingly angry.

Its size began to shrink, but soon, the spilt viscous fluid started flowing back, rushing to reassemble.

In no time, the monster regained its height of four or five meters.

And it seemed to have suffered no damage at all.

No wonder Luo Kai said it was tough to fight...

It's also thanks to him that he wrestled with the monster for so long before, probably realizing it was futile later on, he simply let himself be blown away.

To be honest, in the present world, Xu Shuo didn't have many means of attack.

Fighting those ordinary Little Ghosts would be okay, but dealing with such a massive beast with extremely strong regenerative abilities...

He really couldn't think of any strategy for a while.

He could bring out all the game items he had acquired, but currently, as a mage who could only play with X-ray Vision, the tiny Fin Needle wouldn't even make a splash if he threw it.

Sealing Item... better save it, since Luo Kai is already on his way.

The enraged monster let out a sharp scream and its bloated, massive body rushed directly at Xu Shuo, looking like a black meat mountain collapsing from afar!

A huge shadow loomed overhead, and Xu Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly, though his expression remained calm.

The next moment, a figure hidden on the side darted out, sweeping past Xu Shuo like lightning, and pulled him away from the shadow's reach.

Thump!

The bloated monster fell forward, not with as tremendous a force as expected. After its tumorous, bloated body hit the ground, it even quivered a bit, seeming rather bouncy.

If Xu Shuo had still been standing there, he probably would have been smothered completely.

"You do have quite the nerve," said Luo Kai as he set Xu Shuo down, pulling at the corner of his mouth.

"You seem to be enjoying the view," replied Xu Shuo lightly.

Going to the Script Space to buy equipment shouldn't take that long, even if he wanted to choose carefully. During the time he was distracting the monster, Luo Kai should have made his selection already.

So while Xu Shuo was attempting to attack the monster, Luo Kai was actually hiding nearby, sneakily watching.

Perhaps he wanted to test Xu Shuo's strength.

Xu Shuo actually wanted to test his own strength too, so he didn't call him out.

In the end, he concluded that he was still a weakling.

If only the Character Card could be used in the real world... that would be great.

"Here, this is for you. You know how to use it, right?"

With the monster in front of them, Luo Kai did not dwell on the matter any longer. He quickly pulled out a small bottle and stuffed it into Xu Shuo's hand.

The bottle was less than ten centimeters tall, silver-white in color, and shaped like a long-necked bottle. It looked extraordinarily cute because of its petite size.

Of course, Xu Shuo knew how to use it.

It was a Level 2 Seal Item, the Inch Bottle, priced at 30,000 Performance Points. Quite a rip-off.

Hong Rao gave him a few.

However, Xu Shuo had not used them yet.

Luo Kai once again took out his long sword and quickly said, "As soon as I disperse this thing, remember to use the bottle quickly, don't wait for it to coalesce again!"

Xu Shuo nodded, "Okay."

As his voice fell, Xu Shuo stepped back, while Luo Kai, sword in hand, charged towards the monster that had already risen!

When the monster dealt with Xu Shuo, it had seemed to lunge with a desire to embrace, but now, faced with Luo Kai, its screech was furious and annoyed!

A head twisted and vibrated, then, as Luo Kai approached, it suddenly burst!

Boom!

An invisible impact carrying a rotten stench hit them full in the face; Luo Kai, firm as Tiezhu, steadied himself, then leaped up from where he stood, incredibly fast!

The long sword in his hand flickered with a red glow, and Luo Kai jumped onto the top of the monster's body, his feet sinking into the other's viscous flesh as if mired in swamp.

The monster screamed, its voice a chaotic overlap, its bulging head pulsating beneath his feet—

But just before the head was about to burst, the sword's red glow had become as dense as blood, and Luo Kai forcefully plunged it into the creature's body!

"Rumble!"

The monster's swelling head, together with the red glow that had penetrated its body, exploded all at once!

Black viscous matter intertwined with blood-red, the massive monster's body instantly torn asunder, splattering into a disgusting slime puddle on the ground, while Luo Kai's whereabouts were momentarily unknown.

At this time, Xu Shuo, standing not far away, threw out the Inch Bottle.

His spiritual power swirled around the body of the bottle, then, as if pulling something into motion, the little bottle abruptly lit up and automatically popped the wooden stopper from its mouth.

The flowing black matter on the ground uncontrollably began to be sucked into the bottle—the Inch Bottle, less than ten centimeters tall, swiftly filled with the entire four to five meters tall monster!

Once the black viscous substance on the ground had been completely absorbed, under the feeble light of the searchlight, the black fog floating around the village also surged towards the mouth of the bottle and was entirely absorbed in the end!

The village seemed to brighten up visually, but the sky still lacked a moon.

The sated bottle capped itself with the wooden stopper, and the previously silver-white bottle turned into an unsightly Little Black Bottle.

And it was emitting an awful stench.@@novelbin@@

The surface even seemed to ooze liquid.

Xu Shuo did not want to touch it, but it flew over to him.

Having no choice, Xu Shuo, with a look of disgust, pinched the neck of the bottle with his gloved hand and approached the black, slippery thing on the ground nearby.

Luo Kai had just been blasted away by the monster and was covered in black matter, but fortunately, the Inch Bottle absorbed it quickly.

"Ah... It stinks to death!" Luo Kai spat out several times.

Although he had faced an explosion head-on, he seemed to be in good condition.

Seeing Xu Shuo walking toward him, Luo Kai naturally extended his hand to receive his spoils of war, only to be handed a Little Black Bottle coated in slime.

This immediately darkened his expression.

"Damn Script Space! They won't let you take out a Level Three Seal Item, and a Level Two Seal Item is barely permissible! This is killing me!"

Luo Kai hurriedly stored the bottle inside the Player's Handbook, cursing as he wiped the Dark Matter from his hands.

The Inch Bottle is activated by the player's Spiritual Consciousness. Normally, after sealing an Abyss Creature, it would slowly digest it, but if the bottle itself is affected by darkness, it means it has been overloaded.

This creature nearly reached Level Three.

"Watch my body for me, I need to deal with that thing first!" Luo Kai said urgently, after wiping his hands.

The Player's Handbook is connected to the player's consciousness; if a not completely sealed monster remains in his consciousness for too long, it can easily affect the person's thinking and sanity.

But if it's taken to the Script Space, it could be dispelled with the push of a button!

"Okay, go ahead!"

Xu Shuo sincerely nodded his head, then watched as Luo Kai's body freely fell to the ground.
