Chapter 935: Chapter 763: The Problematic Person

Xu Shuo was now pondering, isn’t holding a grudge also a manifestation of emotions?

However, he seemed to have already struggled with this issue before; the Sixth Palace said he had no emotions, so he wasn’t easily corrupted by the Abyss.

Thinking about it this way…

Doesn’t seem like a bad trait?

After all, compared to the Abyss’ corruption.

The influence of the Sixth Palace is at least controllable.

But before, he originally planned to have Angela act as a Script Space bodyguard for Xu Xi, but after considering the passivity of the Sixth Palace.

In the past couple of days, Xu Shuo closely monitored Xu Xi’s status.

The messenger, of course, was the bride.

The two not only had a Soul Contract, allowing them to sense each other’s feelings within a certain distance, but the bride could also perform spatial transmission through Prague Castle.

A few days before the start of the semester, Angela’s sensible behavior made Xu Shuo somewhat satisfied, feeling that she didn’t seem like a reckless person.

So, he placed the bride by Xu Xi’s side.

Then placed Angela by Xu Xi’s side.

This way, surveillance and protection were both achieved, a perfect solution!

Xu Shuo relaxed, ignoring the inquisitive looks from Los, and focused on his work.

…

A week after the start of the semester at Yangcheng Normal University.

The world remained calm.

From the bride’s report, Angela hadn’t performed any unusual actions either, nor had anything abnormal occurred on campus.

Xu Xi’s university life was temporarily calm and peaceful.

However, today.

Xu Shuo was approached by Luo Kai.

Luo Kai: [The usual place.]

The usual place?

That would naturally be the cafe near the studio.

Xu Shuo thought about it; it had been some time since the Mingzhu Fun World incident.

Although the matter was resolved relatively satisfactorily, there might still be some follow-ups with such Abyss-related issues.

So this time, he didn’t refuse to come out.

Since he wasn’t busy, he figured he would see what Luo Kai was up to again.

…

Black Star Cafe.

The usual place, the usual spot.

Xu Shuo ordered a latte, while Luo Kai ordered a glass of water.

In the past, Luo Kai would order the same coffee to pretend, but he didn’t pretend anymore because this cafe, often used by Xu Shuo to meet various people, had changed ownership.

So he simply stopped putting on a front.

After all, the coffee here truly tasted awful.

“Have you been staying in Yangcheng this whole time?”

Xu Shuo was the first to speak, sizing up the person he hadn’t seen on the surface for half a month but actually for “a month.”

In this half-month, Luo Kai had grown stubbled and looked haggard, even more so than before.

After Xu Shuo asked, Luo Kai took a sip of water, didn’t speak.

He pulled his black hiking bag in front of him, took out a thick folder from it, and handed it over.

Then Luo Kai said, “I’ve almost been bound to Yangcheng. But during this time, I ran to a few other cities and finally collected another Mutant Script, a level two one.”

Xu Shuo listened and opened the file to take a look.

Inside were various case records, all with extremely detailed descriptions of the modus operandi, even noting the angle of a wristwatch’s minute hand worn by a poisoner.

Luo Kai continued, “This document contains all the scripts I’ve collected this year, with data from investigations conducted by Safety Bureau personnel at the scenes again.”

Xu Shuo flipped through the documents, “Why are you investigating these?”

“Flip to the back,” Luo Kai said.

“The back?”

Xu Shuo flipped a few pages and first saw the record of the “Mingzhu Fun World” incident.

He paused, then continued flipping.

After the Mingzhu Fun World incident, Luo Kai collected scripts from other places, besides a Mutant Script, he also collected three other normal scripts.

The reason for Luo Kai’s haggard appearance.

Was entirely because he had been tirelessly running around everywhere during this half month.

Xu Shuo said no more and continued to browse through the data.

The normal scripts didn’t seem special.

But the Mutant Script.

Was found by Luo Kai in Rong City.

Previously, when Peace Street was sealed off due to an Abyss incident, Yangcheng Security Bureau invited a script player from Rong City to help, and Luo Kai exchanged contact information with that player.

According to the player, Rong City had experienced several Abyss pollutions.

Luo Kai let the player guide him through several places until he finally obtained a Mutant Script near an area of Abyss pollution.

“I learned from you, when extracting new scripts, I always psychologically suggested one of the people involved,” Luo Kai said.

“Wait, my method?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Shuo paused slightly.

Luo Kai rolled his eyes at him, “Bro, after all, I’m a self-made level four script player. Whether it’s Xu or that cop who revealed the amusement park murder truth ten years later, they can’t be just flukes. When you showed me that glass bottle, that’s what you wanted to convey, right?”

Xu Shuo smiled, looked back down at the script documents.

Unfortunately.

Luo Kai’s attempt didn’t succeed.

He couldn’t leave “future” information for those script characters in the Subspace of the “past.”

Not only did the normal script attempt fail.

But the attempt with the Mutant Script also failed.

The newly extracted Mutant Script involved elements of ghosts, but it was just a typical level two Mutant Script, not even at the intensity of an assessment script.

Since the real world began experiencing strange deviations, Luo Kai had faced the Abyss a few times in reality.

So predicting that the script boss wasn’t strong and considering the distance to Rong City, Xu Shuo likely wouldn’t want to travel—Luo Kai went on his own instead.

Moreover.

He wanted to probe what the issue was himself.

Was it the world that had changed?

Or was it simply that that guy had an issue?

The last probe found…

“I think the issue is with you.” Luo Kai sincerely stated.

“Is that so.” Xu Shuo chuckled quietly, without looking up.

“Look at the scripts from the first half of this year.”

Luo Kai quickly flipped through the document in his hand.

“Then look at the scripts after meeting you.”

Next, he flipped to the middle of the data.

“Then look at the scripts I extracted myself afterward.”

He flipped to the final section of the data.

The last Mutant Script.

The extraction was very smooth.

There weren’t any abnormal Abyss changes.

Luo Kai stared at the young man sitting opposite, “Before I met you, the script extractions were normal. It seems like all the changes occurred after I met you on that high-speed train trip. What do you think?”

Xu Shuo smiled, closing the stack of documents.

Relaxing into the sofa, he chuckled lightly, “So, what are you planning by bringing this up with me here now?”

Whenever the young man appeared so relaxed.

Luo Kai knew.

Things probably wouldn’t be too relaxed.

He sighed slowly, then pulled out a small device from his backpack, activated it, and placed it on the table, unleashing some interference signal as its outer components unfolded.

Then Luo Kai continued, “Since the moment that big shot appeared around you, I thought you were a bit extraordinary.”
