There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Chapter 96: Chapter 93: Collaborate Again (Please Subscribe First!)

The sky had become pitch black at some point.

As the blood-red tornado soared into the sky, the sun was already obscured by darkness, and a thick malice drifted towards the distance, as if something was empowering it. The flesh and blood monster continued to grow, several fanged maws stretching out from within the flesh.

If left unchecked, it would only become stronger.

Surviving an hour wouldn't be easy; it would be better to find a way to deal with this thing directly.

The priest had definitely come prepared.

Watching the writhing, putrid blood draw ever closer to the girl who hadn't moved an inch, the priest irritably sheathed the Holy Sword and gritted his teeth, "Then let's cooperate!"

Xu Shuo smiled in satisfaction and quickly stepped away from beneath the flesh monster.

The creature moved exceedingly slowly, so slowly that it seemed as if time itself had stopped. Anything it touched would be entirely assimilated. The dark, viscous matter on the ground was tainted with blood, and the ruins and altar were covered in a scarlet hue.

Lying on the ground, Xuena could no longer hear any noise, but she felt an increasing difficulty in breathing and couldn't help reaching out a finger to fiddle with the linen cloth covering her.

"Don't move!" the priest snapped at her.

Even if Xuena wasn't the ideal sacrifice, she had already been sufficiently contaminated in the Blood Pool, now serving as a sort of demi-extension of the monster.

The linen cloth was a holy object of the church and had a sealing effect.

But as the legacy had been passed down, even the Holy Sword needed cleansing before it could be used. The linen cloth could at best prevent the fusion between the monster and the sacrifice; it couldn't directly seal the monster.

In a very foul mood, the priest opened the white package and took out a golden box, a crucifix, and a short gun.

He had brought these things just in case, never intending nor wishing to use them, as doing so would mean they were in a dire situation!

At that moment, Officer Zhang came over, "You church folks really have a lot of stuff."

"Help me take her away," the priest said, his mood too sour to chide this ally's inaction, without even turning to point at Xuena lying on the ground.

The flesh monster continued to swell within the ruins, its countless blood vines suddenly shooting out and anchoring into the ground. Enduring the heavy stench of blood and decay, they dared not touch the blood flowing on the ground.

Officer Zhang shrugged his shoulders, wrapped the linen cloth tighter, and then carried Xuena towards the forest.

"What exactly is happening now, can't I come out yet?" Inside the linen cloth, Xuena breathed hastily and asked somewhat irritably.

"If you come out, you'll die. Why not give it a try?" Officer Zhang said.

"..."

Xuena stayed silent, her nostrils, stomach, and even her brain filled with an unbearable stench of decay. It was already a restraint of her bodily instincts not to vomit.

In the ruins, the priest handed the rusty short gun to Xu Shuo, "Use this to nail it in that thing's head."

Xu Shuo poked at it with a finger, feeling no danger before taking it, then raised an eyebrow, "Which head?"

The priest looked up.

The massive body of the flesh monster twisted and coiled, silently producing another fanged maw, its plethora of blood vines turning the place into a cage-like entrapment.

They divided the tasks between them in the gaps between the vines, the thick blood dripping from the monster above, meandering towards the girl's location.

After silently pondering for a while, he said, "Nail it into the middle part of its body."

Xu Shuo nodded, "What about you?"

The priest took a deep breath, "I pray!"

...

In the woods, Officer Zhang placed Xuena, wrapped in linen, among the branches and then turned to look at the situation near the ruins.

Against a backdrop of crimson, dark viscous matter rose again with the girl's petite and graceful figure standing atop, her pale and translucent skin filled with a fragile brokenness.

It seemed that no matter when, she would unconsciously attract attention, unfailingly emanating a seductive aura that stirred the desires of the heart.

Just as the man who peeked at her every night, or Lanruo who would stop at nothing to become the lead actress, Xuena knew that despite the risk of death, she couldn't help but take the gamble... Everyone revealed their inner darkness because of her.

After staring for a while, Officer Zhang suddenly realized, could this also be a tactic?

At that moment, the Flesh and Blood monster opened its gaping mouth, fangs dripping with blood, as several enormous jaws bit down wildly at the shadowy figure!

The girl skillfully dodged with leaps, fluttering like a butterfly through flowers, her dark shape flickering in and out of sight amidst the blood-red, as mesmerizing as when she danced ballet. In this turbid, putrid filth, she was like the purest elf.

Officer Zhang: "..."

Once she snapped out of it, she forcefully slapped herself.

Then, with a clear head, she smacked her swollen cheek and started running towards the ruins.

The priest stood at the edge of the ruins, making strange hand signals, engrossed in his prayer, the white holy robe still impeccably clean even at that time.

"Hey, is there anything I need to do?" asked Officer Zhang as she approached.

The countdown to the end of the game had only passed by five minutes, and she couldn't guarantee that she would still be mentally stable if she actually stayed the full hour.

The erosion of consciousness by the Flesh and Blood monster was imperceptible, otherwise how could she think such a jumble of thoughts during battle? She felt like she was going crazy!

The priest didn't speak, continuing his relentless prayer, only opening his eyes to signal towards a gold box and a cross placed beside him.

It was described as a box, but it was more like a cabinet with double doors, albeit small and cute.

The box was already opened, empty on the inside, old on the outside but new on the inside.

Officer Zhang idly fiddled with it for a while, then asked, "And then what?"

Still focused on his prayers, the priest paid her no further attention. Cold sweat poured down his forehead, and his lips even turned a little pale as if he was struggling greatly.

Officer Zhang looked up to see Qiuzi weaving through countless writhing tentacles, seemingly trying to get close to a certain spot.

After contemplating, she set down the golden box, took out the silver dagger, and leapt into action!

A set of fanged jaws came at her head-on, and Officer Zhang calmly raised her silver dagger to strike. Blood instantly splashed on her hand, corroding the flesh like sulfuric acid. Your next chapter awaits on m v|l--NovelBin.net

At the same time, a heap of gibberish thoughts crashed into her mind!

But in the blink of an eye, the monster's mouth turned to ash.

After shaking off the random thoughts in her head, Officer Zhang slightly furrowed her brow, realizing that the creature's erosive power was quite strong.

Xu Shuo noticed the commotion and smiled faintly, then turned and swiftly made his way towards her, followed by countless blood-colored tentacles and sharp-toothed mouths!

Officer Zhang's mouth twitched.

This girl, she was really using her to her death!
