Chapter 959: Chapter 775: Seems to Be Looking for Someone

Peach Blossom Street, Heiyu District.

Luo Kai was originally heading to Dongshan District to rescue those bigwigs, but just as he entered the area, Captain Zheng called him again.

The other side told him that someone else had gone to Dongshan District.

And now the situation in Heiyu District was also becoming urgent.

“Who? Who dares to steal my job?”

Luo Kai instantly showed some dissatisfaction.

He was already on his way, first being called to Dongshan District, and now he was being asked to head back?

He wasn’t that easygoing, okay!

Captain Zheng immediately responded a bit awkwardly: “It’s probably not about stealing your job. As far as I know, Mr. Xu has a friend who seems to live in Shengcheng Garden in Dongshan District. He probably already got word about what’s happening over there.”

“Xu… Xu Shuo?”

Luo Kai froze for a moment upon hearing this.

He didn’t speak right away, only wondering what could possibly be going on in Shengcheng Garden to make Xu Shuo willing to rush over in the dead of night without resting.

But since it wasn’t some higher-up trying to mess with him, Luo Kai’s annoyance subsided somewhat.

He asked Captain Zheng for details about the Heiyu District situation.

——Four-Level Abyss.

This was definitely not something ordinary people could handle.

So, Luo Kai immediately turned his car around and headed toward Heiyu District, driving at breakneck speed. Thankfully, there weren’t many cars on the road late at night.

…

Half an hour later.

He arrived at Peach Blossom Street in Heiyu District.

The entire area, including the urban village hit by Abyss contamination in Peach Blossom Street, was completely cordoned off like usual.

Even though the incident happened late at night, the large-scale operation still attracted the attention of some nosy onlookers, resulting in a crowd gathering outside the cordon.

Luo Kai’s car drove straight through unimpeded.

“Mr. Luo, you’re finally here!”

The team leader in charge immediately greeted him.

As Luo Kai stepped out of the car, already pulling out a cigarette, he glanced at the man: “Oh, it’s you.”

The team leader was a bit surprised: “Mr. Luo, you remember me?”

“A little. After all, surviving your first close encounter with the Abyss as an ordinary person is quite interesting.” Luo Kai lit a Ruby cigarette and said.

“Uh…”

“What’s the situation on-site?” Luo Kai asked as he walked toward the archway.

“Officer Shao ordered us not to approach the area. She’s currently guarding the contamination source with another Special Ability User. So far, there haven’t been any signs of infiltration.”

“Another one?”

“Her name is Ji Xiaoxia. She lives at No. 7, Lane 3, Peach Blossom North Street. Right now, she works as the second-floor receptionist at the ‘Radiance: Mystery City’ Script Murder Game store on Xinshi Street, Heiyu District. She was on her way home after her shift around 11:30 PM when she noticed something unusual in the alley.”

“… Mystery City?”

Luo Kai seemed to vaguely recall the name of that shop.

As the two exchanged words, they entered the archway and approached two people squatting on the ground nearby.

Suddenly.

A cheerful and lively song started playing from that direction.

——”Good luck come, wishing you good luck come!”

——”Good luck brings joy and love!”

——”Good luck come, let’s welcome good luck come!”

Luo Kai: “…”

The cigarette between Luo Kai’s lips almost fell out.

He stared at the team leader beside him with an incredulous expression: “What are they doing?”

The team leader replied awkwardly, “Officer Shao believes this song can ward off evil, so they’ve been playing it non-stop while guarding the area.”

“…”

Luo Kai silently chewed on his cigarette.

After watching for a while, he walked over toward them.

As he approached, the two women seemed to notice and turned their gazes toward him.

“It’s you, alright, but where’s the other guy?”

Shao Dandan spoke as she looked at him, then peeked curiously past him, seemingly searching for the familiar figure who was pretty much always by his side.

You couldn’t blame Shao Dandan for speculating like that.

After all, every time she’d seen Luo Kai handle an Abyss incident.

Xu Shuo was usually with him.

The two of them seemed almost inseparable.

“Not here.”

Luo Kai replied without much care, glancing at her briefly before shifting his attention to the young woman standing next to her. After studying the girl for a moment, his gaze landed on the phone she was holding.

Ji Xiaoxia noticed his look and awkwardly turned off the music.

In an instant, silence fell upon the area.

Only then did Luo Kai finally direct his gaze toward the alleyway.

There was nothing visible in the alley.

No twisted or eerie threats—just an impenetrable abyssal blackness, thick and bottomless, staining the gap between two buildings like the Abyss itself.

After observing for a moment, Luo Kai activated the detector.

[Current ID: EA1029392178.]

[ID Level: Level 1.]

[Abyss Level: Level 4.]

[Detected abnormal conditions exceeding ID level within the player’s vicinity. Switching to emergency mode. Unlocking maximum Player Authority Level 3.]

In the past, this world had undergone a level upgrade.

But it was merely a useless one-level boost.

Which was why Xu Shuo had even suspected that Themis got scammed by the First Palace to return here.

“A Level 4 Abyss, strong enough to potentially spawn an Abyss Demon with severe contamination. You’ve been guarding here for quite a while now, and you haven’t encountered anything?” Luo Kai asked the two women.

“I haven’t encountered anything, but it seems like she’s been affected.” Shao Dandan said, looking toward the person next to her.

“A little girl.”

Ji Xiaoxia hesitated and said, “And I think I’ve seen that little girl before. She looks eerily similar to a monster I’ve encountered in a script, but I’m not sure if it’s really her.”

Luo Kai froze: “A monster from a script? Wait a minute, what do you mean by a monster from a script? What’s your current level?”

“I’m a Level 2 late-stage player right now, just one script away from qualifying for a Level 3 assessment mission.” Ji Xiaoxia replied truthfully.
