There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 449 - 389: Awoo!

"It has just suffered another attack and is unlikely to come out easily now. Just go straight in, I’ll cover you," Xu Shuo said, looking into the depths of the tracks. Your journey continues with novelbuddy

The darkness on the platform seemed to have become a bit shallower, where the air was previously dim and mottled, but the blue walls now covered with Dark Matter were already vaguely visible.

It was as if a layer of dull gauze had been lifted.

After two destructive strikes, the monster’s influence seemed to have been greatly reduced, and it was the right time to rush into the Abyss and deal with that cocoon.

However, though Luo Kai had been utterly convinced just a moment before, he was now showing slight doubts: "Um... can you still hold up?"

Xu Shuo gave him a light glance.

In the dark environment, the young man’s gaze was bright and piercing, its meaning ambiguous through the hazy black mist.

Luo Kai immediately felt a surge of spirit and withdrew his doubtful gaze, raising his sword and saying righteously, "Brother, I believe in you. I’m going in!"

He jumped down onto the platform without any hesitation, standing in the middle of the rail tracks.

Ahead, in the depths of the tracks, the wall of darkness that had been obstructing the view was churning violently, with faint sounds of countless monsters gnawing and growling coming through.

"Woo—" Suddenly, a whistle sounded from the darkness.

Luo Kai was on guard, but instead of the expected train coming through, a vortex with ripples appeared in the dark.

The noise of a train passing over the tracks started, but he didn’t see the shadow of a train.

It was as if those sounds were coming from a distant other space.

Luo Kai paused and glanced thoughtfully at the calm young man leaning against the wall on the platform, then immediately rushed into the vortex.

The next moment, he was assaulted by a sensation of suffocation, along with countless unintelligible whispers hammering into Luo Kai’s ears!

The pronunciation of those words was twisted and bizarre, gloomy and low, completely unintelligible and unanalyzable, like a mess of densely tangled lines interwoven.

They seemed to be roaring, yet also whispering and muttering incessantly, disturbing and unsettling the mind.

Luo Kai slapped his head. The voices were unrelated to his sense of hearing; they had squeezed directly into his brain.

Although his spiritual power at this stage wasn’t affected by these chaotic wills, constantly hearing them was truly annoying, inciting irritation.

"Thump! Thump!" Amidst these devilish whispers, there was also a clear sound similar to a heartbeat, echoing throughout the space.

Luo Kai frowned and looked ahead.

There was a huge cocoon enveloped in darkness, the surface of the black cocoon seemed sticky, still slowly dripping with an oil-like viscous substance that was steadily accumulating on the ground.

The shoes he was wearing were already stuck to the ground by this black substance.

The cocoon wasn’t transparent, but its surface occasionally protruded with the shapes of slender limbs, as if something inside was struggling to break free.

"I can’t hold on for much longer. If you don’t come out in two minutes, these two spaces might shift out of alignment," came the young man’s low voice in Luo Kai’s mind suddenly.

Luo Kai was taken aback.

Shift out of alignment?

Although his understanding of physics was rather weak, after listening to Xu Shuo’s incomprehensible explanation, he had roughly grasped that this monster’s cocoon and the outside world were in two different spaces.

The area had been controlled by the monster earlier and shifted out of alignment with the outside world, so he couldn’t see the cocoon when running onto the tracks.

Therefore, it logically followed that if this space shifted again, Luo Kai might not be able to run out of here and back to the outside world!

Luo Kai: "!!!"

"Why didn’t you say earlier that you could only hold on for two minutes! I even spent a few seconds studying it just now!"

"I’ve never tried this before either," Xu Shuo’s voice was innocent.

"..."

"Hurry up, I’ll hold on for you."

Xu Shuo continued to speak.

Luo Kai had no response, his expression solemn, the silver longsword inlaid with ruby held horizontally in front of him.

As the sharp blade sliced his palm, a rich red hue emanated from the sword, like the evening glow at dusk spreading through the pitch-black and viscous darkness.

The sword tip touched the ground, and the flames surged up suddenly, spreading along the dark matter with scorching brilliance!

...

On the subway platform of the third level underground.

The enormous spider lingered in front of the vortex, emitting piercing screeches as it wildly waved its slender limbs to attack the vortex, its massive body attempting to crash through.

It clearly made contact with the dark matter, yet it seemed barricaded by its own power, unable to break through even a bit.

After a moment of frenzy, the monster suddenly turned its head, its hollow green eyes glaring fiercely at the young man on the platform; it crouched down, its body tense, ready to spring into action.

Xu Shuo watched it, smiling slightly.

The creature suddenly lunged forward with astonishing leaping power and unparalleled speed, like a black bolt of lightning!

"Bang!"

Xu Shuo stepped back faster, disappearing into the darkness.

The lunging monster crashed heavily against the platform wall, confused and agitated as it flailed its limbs, frantically tearing at the wall to drag out the person who had just inexplicably merged into it.

The next moment, Xu Shuo appeared on the other side of that pillar, his back to the creature, covering his mouth and frowning.

The darkness of the Abyss was just too disgusting!

In previous scripts for "Dancer in the Dark" and "Abyss Sigh", Xu Shuo had also merged with the dark of the Abyss, but perhaps he was using Qiuzi’s identity, which is why he did not experience such strong nausea.

After all, Qiuzi was a Necrophage, not exactly normal.

But this time, he was using his own normal self, and at that instant, the stickiness engulfing his body and the chilling malice that penetrated to his bones made him shiver all over, goosebumps rushing from the soles of his feet to the apex of his head!

In any case, the disgusting sensation almost made Xu Shuo vomit on the spot!

A normal person really couldn’t withstand the stuff of the Abyss.

Even if one could mentally endure, their physiological instincts couldn’t accept it.

Rustle, rustle, rustle...

At that moment, there came a rustling noise from the side of the pillar; several jet-black limbs with barbs extended from all directions.

Xu Shuo turned his head to look and met with a pair of eyes filled with malice and madness.

After detecting that scent, the creature immediately stopped its flailing against the wall, its massive body moving around the pillar, the hollow eyes with a faint green glow looking down imposingly at the figure caged within the limbs.

It slowly lowered its body, its rigid limbs suddenly softening like vines, wrapping around the young man and tightly binding him to the pillar.

The sharp barbs embedded into flesh and blood, the dark matter seeping down from the barbs, Xu Shuo squinted his eyes slightly.

He felt that familiar nauseating, sticky sensation he had felt when he had submerged into the Abyss Darkness before.

It was said that this monster didn’t like to kill its prey too quickly, preferring to play with it first, like a cat that isn’t hungry wouldn’t immediately swallow a caught mouse.

But was the creature still in the mood to play when its lair was being destroyed?

Just a moment ago, it seemed to be in a complete frenzy.

The monster’s huge head was slowly approaching.

On close inspection, the darkness that made up the creature’s head appeared still to be flowing, and its mouth, spread into a triangle, was full of short, sharp teeth; inside the mouth was pitch-black darkness.

Xu Shuo did not believe that every monster liked to sniff before it fed.

He tilted his head and said with a deep look, "What, does it smell nice?"

The monster suddenly opened its mouth wide, and in a moment, the face expanded into a huge pitch-black void, then it howled and snapped down!
