There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

However, since this area was reserved for the new team, it was usually empty except for Xu Xi, who had come to learn at the studio.

So when he turned his head, he was faced directly with Xu Xi, who was sitting two desks away, separated by four transparent panels.

The girl was staring intently at him with an expressionless face, her dark eyes devoid of any excess emotion, sizing up and getting to know this person in her own way.

This time, Los didn't shift his gaze away.

He pushed up his glasses and didn't evade.

It wasn't until Pei Sheng organized his complex feelings and came out that their eye contact was finally broken.

"Ahem... that..."

Still wary of him because of the strange heartbeat experience just now, Pei Sheng sat across the table uncomfortably and then pushed two contracts forward with his fingertips.

He sat askew with his leg propped up on the chair as if his entire being was resisting getting any closer to the other person.

Los looked at his reaction and, without saying anything, took the contracts and started to read them.

One was an employment contract, the other was a confidentiality agreement.

After casually flipping through the content, he signed his name, then took out copies of his information and other documents from his briefcase and handed them back.

Taking advantage of the interval, Pei Sheng sized him up and realized that the young man wearing glasses had returned to his ordinary and stiff feeling, not at all stunning, and he no longer felt the heartbeat of before. Read latest stories on My Virtual Library Empire

Seeing this, Pei Sheng couldn't help but find the thick black-framed glasses on his face utterly baffling; he couldn't imagine how a person's attractiveness could be sealed by glasses!

It was practically the fifth great Asian magic trick!

"So, you've seen our company's recruitment requirements when you came for the interview. Since we're a start-up team, there might be some difficulties at the beginning," Pei Sheng tried to find the right words to say, not daring to look his way.

"Yes, I've looked into it," Los said, nodding without changing his expression.

"Um... then... wait a second..."

As he spoke, Pei Sheng suddenly stood up, gathered the documents from the desk, and left quickly, as if he were fleeing.

Watching his hasty retreat, Los paused slightly, then couldn't help but reach out and touch his glasses, confirming they were still properly on his face.

He decided then, next time, to find glasses that absolutely couldn't be removed and wear them!

...

Xu Shuo was preparing materials needed for the upcoming meeting when he saw Pei Sheng rush in again, flustered, slam two contracts on his desk, and start to catch his breath.

"Phew, that scared me, glad I'm back to normal... By the way, where's my planner? Where is it?"

Xu Shuo frowned: "Give the contracts to HR; why are you giving them to me? Plus, your planner is in your own office. If you've lost it, I don't mind taking you to the rooftop tonight to refresh your memory."

Hearing these unabashedly threatening words, Pei Sheng felt as if he'd just been blown by the rooftop wind and immediately snapped back to his senses.

He ground his teeth, snorted, and turned to go to his own office to retrieve his things but was immediately called back by Xu Shuo.

"Wait."

"What now?" Pei Sheng looked at him, puzzled.

Xu Shuo slid back on his office chair to a blind spot in the glass's view, then with a profound look, gestured for him to come closer.

"What are you hiding for when your office has one-way glass?" Pei Sheng curiously walked over as he spoke.

"Find an opportunity later to take his glasses off again because I'm also quite curious to see just how good-looking he really is," Xu Shuo whispered.

Pei Sheng was immediately filled with question marks and then firmly shook his head: "I won't! If you want them off, you take them off yourself!"

"How could I, as a boss, just casually touch an employee's belongings?"

"And I'm not the boss now? I'm the head planner of the team now!"

"You are, you just did it a moment ago, didn't you?"

"..."

Pei Sheng held it in for a long time, but in the end, he still refused, "No way, that kid's charm is simply too lethal, I even started to question my own sexual orientation after seeing him! I never want to see him again in my life!"

He still felt his heart skipping a beat now, every time he saw that face, he couldn't help but conjure up pink bubbles involuntarily, which left him feeling restless.

Damn it, how the hell did that weird pink filter appear?!

Seeing him like this, Xu Shuo slightly raised his eyebrows.

He was genuinely curious now, what exactly did Pei Sheng see that made him react so intensely? According to him, the other person's appearance seemed to have not changed, but they had an inexplicable aura.

Seeing Xu Shuo frown, Pei Sheng leaned in closer and whispered, "Let me tell you, you have no idea what it's like to be enveloped in flames, it was just too incredible! I bet that guy turned into this just because he has too many suitors!"

"I'm still suffering from the aftereffects! Horrifying, really horrifying, tonight I've got to invite Little Sweet out for dinner!"

After saying that, without waiting for Xu Shuo to respond, Pei Sheng quickly ran off again, as if afraid that if he was too slow, he would be dragged to the rooftop.

Xu Shuo: "..."

He pondered as he spun his chair around, then suddenly noticed a small red dot appearing in the upper right corner of his field of vision.

Xu Shuo opened the Player's Handbook's messaging feature, his gaze shifting ever so slightly.

[Themis: I'm here!]

...

Pei Sheng had his own office, and as he carried out a thick stack of planning documents, he turned his head only to see Xu Shuo's figure hastily leaving the studio.

He was completely puzzled and took the opportunity to ask Xu Xi, who was sitting beside him, "Why is your brother going out again? He's always so secretive nowadays, it makes me wonder..."

He stopped mid-sentence when he saw the look Xu Xi was giving him.

The girl didn't speak, just stared straight at you.

"I really suspect he's pushing the project onto me just to slack off... cough..."

Pei Sheng touched his head, awkwardly shifted his uneasy gaze away, and walked over to his new employee, only to find the new employee also looking outside, their unfathomable eyes full of spirit.

Pei Sheng muttered to himself "to the rooftop, to the rooftop" in his heart, and finally calmed down.

...

...

The coffee shop near the creative park.

Xu Shuo, under what seemed like omnipresent surveillance, had arranged to meet with Shi in the open, not attempting to hide at all.

When they met, Shi looked left and right, curiously asking, "Did your friend come along too?"

Xu Shuo looked at him and smiled, "No, I came by myself."

"Oh," Shi nodded.

"Didn't you say your entry application was rejected before? How come you can suddenly come to this world now?" Xu Shuo added a few sugar cubes to his coffee in front of him and casually inquired.

"I also find it strange, but as long as I can come over, it's fine."

Shi didn't elaborate further but scratched his head and looked at Xu Shuo with anticipation, "So, where is my item?"

Xu Shuo: "..."

This guy didn't just specifically come over for the item, did he?

But since the Rule Object had not been used by him yet, they opened the mall's trade function, Xu Shuo put the item into the trade column, and sent it over.

After Shi received his item, he took a sip of coffee and continued, "Besides, where in your world did the Abyss appear again? It must be a serious event, otherwise, the Tower of Judgment wouldn't have sent me to investigate."

Xu Shuo paused, "No, besides the subway station incident I told you about last time, it's been pretty normal recently."

Shi was taken aback at these words, "Eh? But you have the aura of the Abyss on you, don't you?"
