There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Chapter 689: Chapter 590 Maybe Hit Someone Chapter 689: Chapter 590 Maybe Hit Someone The rain came in fits and starts over several days.

The blockade of Peace Street also lasted for several days.

Although Xu Shuo had a special exemption, he still followed the crowd and stayed home in self-isolation, not going to the company for work.

After the first day of total control, perhaps due to the pressure of public opinion, or perhaps because too much resentment easily bred negative energy that nurtured the Abyss—people who had been centrally managed were all sent back home.

However, those people still could not leave the blockade area of Peace Street.

The officials were responsible for delivering the supplies that residents needed.

So, for these past few days, the people of Peace Street were practically living as free-loading worms without freedom, spending their days eating, drinking, going online, and then crying out for the blockade to be lifted soon.

...

Xu Shuo had also been cooped up at home for several days.

He rubbed his eyebrows as he looked at the computer screen in front of him.

For some reason, he always felt that his mood was particularly restless today, as if there was a constant irritation prompting him to go out and stir up trouble.

Could it be that he had been cooped up too long?

Should he go to the studio then?

Additionally, through a phone call with Pei Sheng, @@novelbin@@

Xu Shuo confirmed—Los dared to go to the company for work the next day!

How could he not break the pot to ask to the end?!

Should he continue to inquire then?

Inquire!

…

…

Heiyu District.

In an apartment not far from Radiance Studio,

Los had a day off today.

He rubbed his eyebrows with some irritation.

Under the black hair that hid his brows and eyes, the heavy frame of his glasses covered most of his facial value, but one could still discern his considerably troubled expression.

And opposite him,

two girls were sitting.

One of them, a girl with black hair down to her waist, was sitting docile on the sofa, looking apologetically remorseful.

Whereas the other girl, a tall woman with big red wavy hair, seemed quite interested as she looked around his place; if she hadn’t been stopped, she probably would have run outside to tease the humans of this world by now.

Last time, these two had said they would come over.

But at the time, Los had refused their request.

This time, however, because he had asked his sister to help him get global permissions from the First Palace, the number and location of this world had also been disclosed to them.

Therefore, even if he refused, it would be useless.

These two could come over on their own.

Los said with an expressionless face, “I told you both to guard the Sixth Palace properly; I would handle things here.

Why did you come to this world without authorization?”

As he spoke, Los directly turned his head to look at his sister.

Luofu blinked and obediently said, “We were worried that you might encounter trouble here, so we thought of coming over.

Maybe we could be of some help.”

Los tilted his head, “Are you sure it’s not because you came to add trouble?

The spatial barriers of this world are already so fragile, and you are still acting recklessly.

Is it because you want to provoke the First Palace to step in?”

“Why are you taking it out on Fu’er!”

Angela stood in front of Luofu, arms crossed, and said indignantly, “We haven’t been misusing our powers in this world.

Besides, even if we hadn’t come, it looks like this world wouldn’t last much longer anyway!

You have no idea how hard it was for us to get here with all those Abyss Demons outside!

My hair got messy from fighting them off to sort out your problems, and now you’re scolding us?!”

“Did I ask you to come?” Los replied, his face cold.

“I…

huh!

I just came!” Angela’s resolve deflated, knowing she was at fault.

“Leave immediately,” Los said, brooking no argument.

In response to his words, Angela simply sat down on the sofa, propped up her chin, crossed her legs, and displayed an unabashed defiance.

Unable to help it, Luofu tugged at her sleeve and whispered, “Maybe we should just go.”

Angela blatantly ignored her.

Smiling suddenly, she looked at Los and said, “Don’t think I don’t know, you’re hiding someone in this world.

That’s why you don’t want us meddling.

And that person has disrupted quite a bit of subspace.

Sounds pretty special~”

Los’ expression didn’t change as he glanced at her, “How did you know?”

“I didn’t know at first,”

Angela said leisurely, “But he has disrupted quite a bit of the Sixth Palace’s Faith Power sources.

Just so happens, the Faith Power source of [Sequence 29856133] disappeared a while back, and Mo Nuo even personally went to repair the subspace.

I followed up with an investigation and found out it was indeed this person who caused it.

How interesting~”

Los listened silently, raising his hand to push up the glasses on his nose.

Once Angela stopped talking,

He spoke coldly, “Anything else?”

As his words fell, no one else made a sound.

Throughout, Los’s expression remained exceptionally calm, his emotionless face betraying not a trace of feeling.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned very tense, and Luofu, who had been resting her hand to the side, tugged at Angela’s sleeve again, signaling her to quickly restrain herself and admit her mistake.

After a long while,

Angela knew it was wise to read the room.

She softened her tone and posture, speaking evenly, “Los, The only thing I don’t understand is, we of the Sixth Palace should be an indivisible whole.

I just don’t get what’s so important that you’ve kept it a secret from all of us.”

She tried to reason with him and appeal to his emotions, “If you have any troubles, you can tell us.

Whatever it is you need to do, we will help and support you because we would never betray you.

Why can’t you trust us a bit more?”

Los remained silent, waiting for her to finish.

He was still expressionless, his face impassive.

Then he said bluntly and without courtesy, “Don’t talk nonsense.

It’s not that I’m hiding it from everyone, it’s just you.”

Angela: “…”

Los sneered, “Out of the twelve, you are the most troublesome, always craving chaos!

If you knew today, by tomorrow the world would be gone.

I would trust a stranger before trusting you!”

“Brother…”

Hearing this, even the obedient Luofu couldn’t help but rebuke him, “Although it’s true, saying it so directly really hurts Sister Angela’s feelings, doesn’t it?”

Angela: “???”

Little Fu’er, your words hurt even more.

Los demanded that they leave again, “I don’t care what you want to do, get out of this world immediately!”

Seeing that Los appeared to be truly getting angry, Angela gritted her teeth and suddenly dashed toward the room’s window, flipping out of it and jumping down!

Luofu’s eyes widened: “Sister Angela?!”

This was the thirteenth floor!

Although that wasn’t the main point…

Angela’s act must have been based on the knowledge that Los wouldn’t dare to use his powers recklessly in this world, so she took the chance to escape, right?

After all, if Los used his powers to stop her, Angela would certainly use her own in response, leading to total chaos.

This world couldn’t possibly stand up to their reckless use of power.

Luofu timidly looked at her brother and, sure enough, his face was completely shrouded in shadow, as if a terrible storm was brewing!

“I’m sorry!”

Luofu immediately apologized, “I shouldn’t have let Sister Angela come with me earlier.”

Los said nothing.

He watched Angela’s departing figure for a while, then turned his gaze elsewhere, his eyes seeming to pierce through the void and land on the place he had been watching all along.

Then,

His expression broke into a sneer and he “tch”ed.

Los turned and also jumped out of the window, stepping on several external air conditioning units all the way down to the apartment’s garden.

In the room,

Luofu sat obediently by herself.

She blinked, thinking that since her brother was busy with other things for now, she might as well stay in this world and wait.

…

On the highway,

After jumping out of the window, Angela landed steadily on the ground.

Immediately, she looked up at the thirteenth floor window to see if Los was using his powers to continue the pursuit.

Sure enough, he wasn’t.

Angela smiled smugly.

However, to guard against Los tracking her down, she quickly got to her feet and ran off toward the other side of the world, planning to make her move from there.

But just as she dashed out of the apartment and was sprinting across the lawn by the roadside, a massive force suddenly struck from the side—

“Bang!”

A swiftly moving shadow was flung out!

Xu Shuo quickly hit the brakes.

He looked slightly startled.

Just now, it seemed he’d hit something?
