There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

After lunch, a group of people gathered again to watch the surveillance.

In the interview room, the bespectacled young man's hands flew like lightning, his keystrokes so fast that afterimages seemed to appear!

Pei Sheng was amazed, "Although he already mentioned that he had prepared templates and programs in advance, I still think the speed at which he's assembling the program is freaking awesome!"

"Indeed, after all, to complete a complete small game program within ten minutes, hand speed is secondary, what's more important is his flexible thinking keeping up. By the way, did he write it in one go?" Li Ziwen asked.

"In one go, I was watching closely, and he didn't make any mistakes halfway through!" Pei Sheng said confidently.

"Apart from typing fast, did you evaluate his comprehensive abilities?" Li Ziwen asked again.

"Stop it, he almost got the better of me with his questions, this guy really knows his stuff!"

"That's pretty normal," Li Ziwen nodded profoundly.

"...Huh?" Pei Sheng.

"Let me see his information." After staring at the person for a while, Xu Shuo suddenly spoke to a puzzled Pei Sheng.

Pei Sheng scrambled out of the room and returned briskly with a resume in his arms.

The person's resume was three pages long, one page for basic information, and the next two pages were all about self-introduction and summary of abilities and qualities.

The candidate was an outstanding graduate from this year's High Mountain University, who had interned at a listed company in the capital during his junior year, with experience leading a team to independently complete a project, but later resigned and returned to his hometown to continue his studies after his credit was stolen.

After graduating this year, he submitted his resume again, choosing their company.

In addition to work experience, he also had various academic and social practice experiences, all with excellent results.

It had to be said that such a resume was indeed very impressive.

But Xu Shuo frowned, "With such great abilities, why would he come to us?"

"I asked that too, he said he doesn't want to strive in distant cities anymore because Yangcheng is his hometown," Pei Sheng said, scratching his head.

"There are quite a few good companies in Yangcheng that fit his field."

"I asked that too, he said it's the closest to home."

"And why doesn't he consider going to graduate school?"

"I asked that too, he said graduate school would waste years he could be making money, and it's too wasteful for someone as outstanding as him to pursue further studies instead of earning money."

"..." Xu Shuo. Quite in agreement.

"Wait a minute, if he wants to make money, wouldn't it be better to go to some big company and be part of the management?"

"I've asked it all! He said because our Radiance is still a small workshop, once he helps Radiance rise, he's sure to land a position as a chief planner, which has much less competition than big companies!"

"..." Li Ziwen. Great minds think alike.

Anyway, this doesn't seem like someone who's here to freeload; listen to his ambition of leading a small workshop to wealth and reaching the pinnacle!

Xu Shuo looked at the man's information, his family indeed lived in Heiyu District, just across an overpass and an industrial creative park from the studio.

The new location of Radiance Studio was right next to the overpass, not inside the creative park, mainly because rent was too expensive.

He closed the resume and said, "So, did you tell him when to start work?"

"Tomorrow, I told him to come tomorrow morning at eight to report and sign the contract," Pei Sheng said gleefully.

Such a good employee, of course, he secured him on the spot!

What's this about waiting for notification?

That's not how you do it with exceptional talent!

Xu Shuo nodded without saying anything more. Before leaving, he handed back the resume and encouraged, "Not a bad start, keep it up."

Upon hearing this, Pei Sheng's joy immediately vanished, his face drooping with melancholy.

Not doing well... meant potentially jumping off a building!

...

After lunch and the discussion about the talent was over, Xu Shuo drove off to take Xu Xi, who seemed to have caught a cold, back home to rest, and along the way, he also laid down on the sofa at home for a while.

Then he directly entered Script Space.

Almost the moment Xu Shuo opened his eyes in the space, Hong Rao's visit request was submitted, so fast that it caught one off guard.

Clicking 'agree,' a Light Gate appeared beside him.

Hong Rao stepped over from behind the door, looking at the still bare and white space and slightly raised her eyebrows.

"You could actually decorate this place, you know, buy some houses and furniture with your Deduction Points, it's pretty cheap," Hong Rao couldn't help saying.

"Are there any bonus effects?" Xu Shuo asked.

"emmm... Improved mood?"

"..."

"By the way, after the Abyss appears in the real world, what initial effects will it have on the people living there?" Xu Shuo proactively shifted the awkward topic for her.

"In the beginning, it actually doesn't cause any anomalies, because the world itself has the power of Purification. Only when more and more Abyss breaches occur and the world can no longer purify them does it start to affect people's way of thinking," Hong Rao replied quickly, as if nothing awkward had happened just a moment ago.

"The first thing affected is the way of thinking?"

"Right, what about it?"

Hong Rao seemed to have a realization: "You mentioned last time that the Abyss appeared in your world as well, how is it now?"

"About level three Abyss, I would say. Since the system released that emergency button, no major incidents have been triggered for now," Xu Shuo explained.

"I remember your world was a pure matter world before?" Hong Rao asked, a bit surprised.

"Yes."

"It started with a level three Abyss?"

"Not exactly, at first, there was no Abyss force formed at all. It took a few days for a level two Abyss to appear, and then a couple of days later, a level three Abyss emerged." Xu Shuo was recounting the order in which "Green-skin Train" occurred.

Although that train Little Ghost had started to show the initial signs of the Abyss, it couldn't affect the real world at that time; next were the incidents in the remote mountain village, followed by the subway station event.

Hong Rao frowned: "It seems the growth of Abyssal power is even more severe than I thought. The rate of corruption has become so fast."

"Does Script Space manage worlds that have been corrupted?" Xu Shuo asked further.

"Someone from above will be sent to deal with it. I told you before, in Script Space there's 'Judgement,' they are actually specialized in handling these types of problems. Basically, wherever there's an Abyss, they'll be there."

Xu Shuo: "I see."

So, this problem can't be solved at all.

That's because the player suspected to be 'Judgement' was said to have had dozens of entry applications rejected already. Just the other day, before entering the script, Themis was still apologetically sorry about it.

It was evident that his world also had some unique characteristics.

One could only hope it wouldn't collapse like the script did.

Xu Shuo's gaze wandered, planning to buy some low-level body-enhancing items to take with him when he left later.

"Alright, let's get to the point, Shuo. You went off on your own again and caused another script to crash, didn't you!" Hong Rao rebuked with a fierce look, her dark purple eyes staring at him intensely.

"Right, I also wanted to ask you, what exactly is the Night Witch?"

Without any fear and maintaining a calm expression, Xu Shuo brought up another topic: "I read a post yesterday that said the Night Witch extracted from Subspace has no Spirituality but retains Self-Consciousness due to its uniqueness. So, what exactly is she?"

Hong Rao paused abruptly: "Which post?"

Xu Shuo opened the forum, scrolled through his favorites, and stopped at the seventh floor of comments filled with rants and trash talk.

Hong Rao: "..."

Yet, despite the trash talk in the latter half of that floor, the first half did discuss quite a lot of useful information earnestly.

Xu Shuo was concerned about this for a reason. Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire

Mainly, it was because of that violin.

He needed to understand the exact physical state of the Night Witch to merge his life essence into a 'heart' that could be placed outside, and that would allow him to transform into an Evil Spirit relying solely on Magic Power upon the death of his body.

Xu Shuo did not want his physique to morph drastically the second he bound the violin.

Moreover, he didn't even know how to manipulate his own life essence.

This problem might be akin to having a real Immortal Cultivation manual right in front of him, and even knowing what to do to become a True Immortal.

But before that, he had asked his Cultivation Master a soul-searching question: "Where exactly are the Extraordinary Meridians?"

Master: "?"

Qi Introduction won't really rush towards the apex of the head, will it?
