There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Chapter 286 Actually, You Can Spit It Out

Early the next morning, the sky over Huai'an Industrial University was adorned with the colors of dawn, with the light from the artificial sun illuminating the campus.

On their first day in the future world, several players spent their time gathering information on their own.

Xu Shuo didn't sleep all night and didn't return to the teachers' dormitory. Instead, he immersed himself in understanding this world through the net in his office.

When it was time for him to teach, he picked up his teaching materials and headed to the history department's teaching building.

The side effects had passed, and Xu Shuo could now find his way around.

And since he had learned how to run the simulations, he was able to satisfy the studious students by showing them how ancient civilizations with less advanced technology waged war.

However, his lectures were still hypnotic.

The hypnotized students began to wonder why they had chosen this professor's course in the first place.

Xu Shuo didn't care about them. After the lecture, he quickly returned to his office.

In the chat room, Wei Ya sent an address.

Due to yesterday's accident, and to quickly gather with the last teammate to start the mission, they had to return to the New An Bureau headquarters together today.

But relying on Professor Li alone was definitely not enough to teleport each of them back to headquarter, so the three of them needed to assemble at a certain place first and then get teleported together.

Although the number of people was still somewhat large, and the distance a bit long, it was better than having him find each person and teleport them individually.

After looking at the location, Xu Shuo didn't take action immediately. He opened his electronic tablet and started playing a game.

When the distance of the teammates in the upper right corner were all quite similar, he put down the tablet, closed his eyes, and visualized the place in his mind.

He needed to know the scene of the destination and the approximate distance to perform Fixed-point Teleportation.

The next moment, the buzzing of a lively crowd filled his ears.

...

As soon as Xu Shuo opened his eyes, he squinted slightly because of the dazzling brilliance, observing the scene before him from a corner.

Fluorescent blue and purple lines outlined the contours of the hall, and the ceiling above the stage released a multitude of colors, illuminating the shadowy figures dancing wildly below.

Huge drum sets emitted deafening sounds, and explosive rock music echoed throughout the brilliantly lit nightclub, where cheers and music wove together in ear-splitting melodies, the place brimming with the hormones of unbridled revelry!

Xu Shuo pressed on his ears, glanced at the distance in the upper right corner, and turned to head towards the private rooms.

In the dark environment filled with flashes of light, a sultry woman pressed herself against him. Her right-hand transformed into a silver mechanical arm tried to touch him but was blocked by Xu Shuo's expressionlessly raised hand.

The woman gave him a flirtatious smile, her soft body insistently pressing closer, only to end up hitting the wall directly due to the young man's effortless sidestep.

"Tch~"

Realizing there was no play, the woman shot him a disgruntled glance before quickly disappearing into the dancing crowd.

This minor incident didn't delay him at all, and Xu Shuo found room 606, pushing the door to enter.

Behind the flimsy steel door, the deafening cheers from outside were blocked, and the soundproofing here was quite good.

Three people had already been waiting in the private room for a while.

"Can you really teleport the four of us 200 kilometers away?" Yin Banqian asked, somewhat worried, recalling the other's performance from the day before.

"Why aren't you disguised?" Wei Ya asked at the same time.

Thrown at him one after the other, Xu Shuo paused, looking down at himself.

This time, he had come out without using his Character Card, just changing into a loose hoodie and hiding his head beneath the hood.

If he had to put it into words, he really didn't know how to disguise himself...

So Xu Shuo simply bypassed the question and looked at Yin Banqian, "There shouldn't be a problem, the consumption is actually not much different from what I used yesterday after dividing the distance up into sections. Besides, since it's the New An Bureau headquarters, even if there's an issue, we will get immediate control."

Yin Banqian nodded thoughtfully.

Cheng Can then asked, "So how are you going to take us? Like in the game, hand in hand?"

"Something like that, anything I'm in contact with can be teleported," Xu Shuo said as he took out a passive stylus.

He had casually brought it from the workroom a moment ago.

With the conversation shifting to the main topic, Wei Ya didn't linger on his half-hearted disguise and handed Xu Shuo a Micro-end.

Xu Shuo looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Don't worry, this Micro-end was phased out over a decade ago, so it doesn't need to connect to neurons," Wei Ya said. "I just noticed that you've been without instant communication tools since you left school, which is really inconvenient."

"Okay, thanks," Xu Shuo finally accepted it.

The outdated Micro-end lacked a network signal function and all applications were unusable; typically, it was useless apart from being looked at.

But Wei Ya had installed a chat room inside it, and amazingly, it could communicate with them.

After all, it was only to be used for temporary communication.

Indeed, many hackers used old Micro-ends for this purpose because their inability to connect to the internet ensured a high degree of safety.

Xu Shuo wore the Micro-end on his wrist, which displayed the time, looking just like an ordinary watch.

People in this world also wore various brand-name watches, but not for telling time.

The one thing humanity had passed down well was luxury goods.

"Let's depart now!"

Wei Ya looked at everyone with a serious expression, and they all nodded their heads.

Thus, in the dimly lit bar's private room, three people formed a circle around Xu Shuo in the middle.

To prevent any teleportation errors, the three had decided not to hold hands but to be more meticulous; each one touched a part of Xu Shuo to meet the condition of being "something taken along by him."

Xu Shuo: "..."

He actually thought there was no need to be so meticulous.

But evidently, protesting at such a time wouldn't yield any results.

With three people clinging to him, Xu Shuo closed his eyes in resignation.

The New An Bureau's headquarters' address was an abandoned ordnance factory, desolate and deserted. However, in reality, the New An Bureau was indeed located at that spot, only floating above the clouds and mist.

That place was probably in the stratosphere.

Stay updated through empire

The view above the clouds emerged in Xu Shuo's mind, and as his vision shifted here, his brain suddenly experienced an intense feeling of compression and dizziness!

The ring-shaped structure before him appeared with slight double vision, Xu Shuo felt confused for a moment and then immediately focused intently. An array of scenes flashed before his eyes, with countless pieces of information overwhelming his brain!

The next moment, all four of them thudded onto the ground.

The white, smooth floor, made of some unknown material, even reflected their blurry silhouettes.

After Xu Shuo came to his senses, he quickly covered his mouth, eyes shut tight and brow furrowed, his already pale skin turning even more translucent and fragile.

Then, a voice came from beside him: "I think you'd feel better if you just let it out!"

Xu Shuo: "..."

Xu Shuo ignored him.

A while later, as the throbbing pain in his brain subsided and the dizziness and nausea lessened, he finally opened his eyes and saw Cheng Can squatting in front of him with a serious look on his face.

Yin Banqian asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

After all, this was a newbie who had just advanced to level two; before entering the game, they had all been reminded to take good care of the juniors.

But under the current circumstances, it was unforeseen that the junior's Character Card position would be quite so unexpected, leaving them unable to offer care for now.

Xu Shuo waved his hand and stood up, still a bit unsteady. Cheng Can, beside him, reached out to support him.

They had successfully entered the New An Bureau headquarters.

It was a pure white corridor, with light emanating from an unknown source, radiant and clear, the floor and walls seeming to emit a soft glow.

As the four of them observed their surroundings, a figure appeared before them without warning.

It was a graceful woman with red curls, whose stunning exterior contrasted with her calm and indifferent expression.

"Pianning!" Wei Ya's eyes lit up.
