There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Chapter 305 Framing Disaster

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

By now, Yin Banqian had already entered an official meeting, so he had no time to check his micro-end.

Besides, when he had appeared earlier, he had been searched and had to temporarily remove weaponry and technological items.

However, from the team panel, he could still see the status of his teammates.

That junior didn't stray far, in fact, he even got closer!

[Yin Banqian]2.2km.

At this moment, Xu Shuo leaned against the wall in a narrow alley, troubled by the Character Card in front of him.

He had just practiced his stealth technique.

But there were even more plainclothes officers outside than he had anticipated, and Xu Shuo's stealth skills weren't exactly top-notch, not to mention the various high-tech gadgets in this world that could be described as magical.

He guessed that the moment he was walking outside, there were already "eyes" surveilling from the skies.

In fact, Wei Ya had sent this scene to the chat room.

Tortoiseshell Cat: [There are at least a hundred people patrolling where you guys are settled, it's still too dangerous, move away further.]

Orange Cat: [Okay.]

Xu Shuo agreed promptly.

They had decided to wait five kilometers away because they were worried that Xu Shuo's long-distance Spatial Transfer would cause dizziness as a side effect if used too much; they wanted to take care of the junior in a way.

But now, the danger from the officials had already spread here, so naturally, they could no longer stay in the same place.

Xu Shuo hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not waste the Character Card. He unfolded his Mind Reading and carefully avoided the plainclothes officers outside, threading through the narrow alleys.

The towering buildings soared into the clouds, and even on the plazas at the mid-levels of the buildings, people still seemed insignificantly small.

The liquid crystal-like walls of the buildings provided illumination, sometimes flashing neon-like lights that painted this grim world in dazzling colors.

However, compared to the large shopping malls in the city center, the area with office buildings was relatively quiet, and there were no advertisements on the walls of the high-rises.

The gaps between the buildings were extremely narrow, sometimes ending in rail-guarded walkways that led to pitch-black depths below, resembling an Abyss that choose its victims.

But in reality, a hundred meters down, the lowest class of people lived there.

Those living in the upper levels carelessly dumped their garbage through these gaps, treating the area a hundred meters below as a landfill for waste disposal, while the lives of the people there were of no consequence to them.

The stairways that led to the upper districts were guarded; the lowly poor had no right to pass through that door.

But in fact, besides the plaza passages, the narrow gaps between these floors could also lead to the slums known as landfills.

Of course, one had to have the ability to survive the jump down, and to climb back up, one needed the capability to ascend.

…

Leaning against the railing, Xu Shuo looked down for a while, then suddenly, his gaze shifted slightly, and he turned to look towards the corner.

After a moment, a careless young man emerged from around the corner.

Upon seeing Xu Shuo, he paused momentarily, then quickly regained his composure and continued to walk past as if nothing happened.

But Xu Shuo kept his gaze fixed on him.

Perhaps it was the intensity of the stare that became too much to bear, the young man finally stopped and looked over resentfully, "Brat, what are you looking at!"

As he spoke, his right hand had already stealthily moved behind his back.

Xu Shuo watched him calmly, "Paradise Bird."

As the words fell, the man's eyes widened in shock, but before he could react, his body suddenly stiffened, and he collapsed to the ground, eyes void of expression.

His eyes remained wide open motionless, but his body was still breathing out of instinct, and his heart still beating.

This state was likely to last for a while.

Xu Shuo did not touch him, nor did he even take a step; he was simply curious to explore inside the man's mind.

The Mind Reading Technique could only grasp the thoughts that the person was having at the moment, but if he wanted to know their deeper memories, could psychic ability make it happen?

If Luo Kun could do it, why couldn't he?!

So it was definitely possible!

Xu Shuo's ability was like an X-ray, penetrating the man's body, prying open his brain, and then on the neural network, searching for the scattered memory bodies.

Watching someone else's memories must be in the first-person perspective, an experience that's kind of magical, like playing a holographic game.

Only, you can't control the character.

The human brain is like a precision supercomputer, capable of processing tens of thousands of pieces of information in an instant and categorizing them swiftly.

And what's more for a Psychic?

Xu Shuo needed only a moment to read the memory before he found the information he wanted.

When he came to, to his surprise, he didn't even feel dizzy.

Following that, he opened the chatroom.

Orange Cat: [I've found a Paradise Bird member and learned some of their plans through Mind Reading Technique.]

Angora Cat: [What?]

Orange Cat: [They intend to sabotage the negotiations between the New An Bureau and the government.]

Angora Cat: [Understood.]

New An Bureau Headquarters.

Pianning was stunned for a moment before regaining her composure, not bothering to investigate how the Paradise Bird knew about their meeting with the government, knowing only that she must clarify things with the officials quickly.

Otherwise, it might not lead to a complete fallout with the government, but it would give those people an excuse to make more demands.

The New An Bureau had convenient channels of communication with the government, so passing on this message wouldn't be difficult, but she seemed to be one step too slow.

Orange Cat: [Ah, I see Silverglow Tower has been bombed.]

Tortoiseshell Cat: [...]

That towering skyscraper, adorned at the top with a gigantic golden frame in the shape of a crescent moon, exuded a luxurious extravagance with its golden radiance, attracting all eyes.

It was a landmark of Huai'an District.

But just now, a shell had blasted through the clouds from afar, severing it with a boom!

Debris plummeted from the hundred-story building and shattered across the plaza, with golden fragments reflecting the wall's dim lights, dazzling and brilliant.

Following that, the building suffered several more bombardments until its surface shone, and a barrier blocked all subsequent attacks.

But after those initial strikes, its silvery exterior had become scorched and ragged, and mechanical tiles fell clattering from the high-rise, exposing the cables within.

Silverglow Tower was somewhat special; it received signals and also blocked them, serving as Huai'an Center's official conference building.

An attack on the official conference building was tantamount to a declaration of war.

And this incident today could very well be blamed on the New An Bureau. Find adventures on My Virtual Library Empire

Clouds began to gather in the sky, and the sudden gusts of wind whipped up the clouds into a swirling vortex, though not yet forming a tornado.

Xu Shuo glanced in that direction.

The agreed-upon signal with Yin Banqian was that as soon as the wind picked up, he would go to pick him up.

Although the current situation could also mean that he was engaged in a fight with Paradise Bird, since the signal had been set, it must be honored regardless of what happens.

That is a basic protocol for a special agent!

In Huai'an District, Xu Shuo didn't need a map; with just an estimate of the distance, he could lock onto the interior of Silverglow Tower using his Mind Transmission ability.

Just as he was preparing to teleport over, he suddenly felt another psychic power sweep across.

In an instant, he had located the source.

Xu Shuo abruptly looked up, his gaze seeming to penetrate the walls of the building, and made eye contact with a pair of excited green eyes not far away.

Luo Kun...

Idiot, scram!

Xu Shuo ignored him completely, shielding his senses from the other's psychic ability, and then vanished from the spot.

[Yin Banqian] 0.03km.
