There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 444 - 386 Long-legged Spider_3

Don’t you all feel that the blackness below the elevator is surging?

It really is surging!

It seems like it’s starting to climb up the elevator!

Quick, take a look!

"Deal!"

In the end, Luo Kai clenched his teeth and accepted the price of three thousand points.

He snatched the bottle angrily, and in the end, couldn’t help but complain, "I suspect you were planning to sell it for three thousand points from the beginning. You did that just to raise the price, didn’t you?"

Xu Shuo’s expression was impermanent, "No, if I could have sold it for three thousand five, I definitely wouldn’t have lowered the price."

Luo Kai: "?" Something seemed off?

However, the two did not dwell on this issue any longer. Luo Kai ended the transaction quickly because he had already sensed the movements of the Abyss.

The darkness that had been lying dormant on the third sublevel was now unnaturally surging. Some black substances were creeping up along the escalator.

But for some reason, it could only stay in the middle of the elevator, surging like waves against that line repeatedly without ever being able to cross it, creating the visual impression that it was spreading.

"Oh? Did we disturb it?" Luo Kai raised an eyebrow and commented as he looked at the activity below.

Xu Shuo didn’t say anything and blinked at what lay beneath.

Immediately, the surging darkness intensified, and at a glance, the third sublevel appeared to be overtaken by the turbulent black water.

Xu Shuo: "..."

He seemed to feel something.

Could it be? That Abyss title couldn’t really be effective in real life too, could it?

Was he really going to have to live with a blindfold from now on?

Luo Kai stared down, took out his sword inlaid with a ruby, then pulled out a geometric object from his Player’s Handbook, and threw it straight into the darkness below.

Pff~

The object fell freely into the darkness and then vanished completely.

After a moment, a flash of red burst out from the darkness.

Like a thunderbolt suddenly illuminating the dark clouds, the red mist was engulfed in an instant by the darkness, but in that moment, both of them saw the vague shadow within it.

The creature’s slender body was bent and twisted with numerous thin limbs with barbs extending all around it, its overall shape resembling that of a large spider.

"That girl’s description was pretty accurate; it does look like a long-legged spider," Luo Kai said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Mm, you go down first," Xu Shuo said.

The smile on Luo Kai’s face disappeared immediately, and he tugged at the corner of his mouth in resignation before stepping down the elevator with his sword.

As he neared the darkness, he suddenly charged into it!

He quickly vanished without a trace.

Xu Shuo looked on, then turned and headed for the ordinary stairwell across from the escalator, beginning his descent from there.

The armed forces stationed on the second sublevel exchanged glances, reported the situation here through their headsets, and then a few of them, guns in hand, moved to cover the several passageways leading to the third sublevel.

Shao Dandan was still huddled on the lounge chair, her eyes fixed unwaveringly on the surging darkness not far away, her fingers unconsciously caressing the old copper mirror she held close.

Her home was in Huangmu District; though she was currently extremely fearful of the Abyss.

But there were things she simply had to do.

...

...

Entering the darkness was like stepping into some sort of thick, oppressive, enclosed space, with even a light breath filled with the heavy stench of decay.

Luo Kai’s initial guess was that the mutated Abyss Creature used to be a man who committed suicide by laying on the train tracks last year due to immense life pressures.

The man was just an ordinary office worker; on the day of his suicide, he had just been fired and, in a moment of impulsiveness, jumped in front of the last night train, ending his life in a particularly gruesome manner.

After transforming into a monster, it took pleasure in tormenting people and possessed the ability to materialize subway trains, allowing it to repeat time within its domain at will.

It’s that last ability that’s particularly troublesome.

According to Shao Dandan’s own account, after being dragged onto the tracks and being severely injured by a train collision, she found herself standing back on the platform in a daze. Before she could react, she was pushed back onto the tracks by the monster and crushed by the train once again.

On the third time, Shao Dandan was more cautious. Upon returning to the platform, she immediately rushed to the escalator, but the creature moved extremely fast!

She was soon dragged back onto the tracks, mercilessly crushed by the train that burst out of the darkness!

This ordeal repeated several times until Shao Dandan’s mental state was nearly shattered!

The last time she returned to the platform and caught her breath, she noticed a light suddenly appear above the escalator; her survival instincts urged her to dash toward it without a second thought!

This time, she managed to escape.

After waking up in the hospital, Shao Dandan recalled the horrific experiences of the previous night and felt that the monster was enjoying the process of torturing her.

If it were a low-rank monster acting on instinct, it probably would have started devouring her the moment it caught her.

And this incident practically drained Shao Dandan’s family’s resources.

To fight off the creature’s erosion, she had used everything she had at her disposal, frantically flipping through the Player’s Handbook in pursuit of survival, guided only by instinct.

But she was only a Level Two player!

Level Three players needed to weigh their options before taking on a Level Three Abyss, and a Level Two player thrown into the mix was like serving up a delicacy on a platter!

Xu Shuo always felt like Luo Kai wanted to send himself in to be slaughtered.

Luckily, Luo Kai was quite self-aware and went in first to draw the monster’s attention.

As Xu Shuo slowly made his way down the stairs, he casually opened his Player’s Handbook to check his available abilities—fortuitously, as a Level Two player, everything in the Player’s Handbook was accessible to him.

Huh, is this what they call low-level player privileges?

And now, in this situation, the most suitable combat plan was to directly activate his Character Card!

He had already tested it during the "Green-skin Train" incident: outside of scripted performances, activating a Character Card had no time limit!

Activate! He had to choose the strongest one!
