There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Golden fireworks burst forth in the sky.

Xu Shuo looked up at the sky, the corners of his mouth curving into a slight smile.

Just as District Thirteen was unwilling to cooperate with Green Mist or Ninth District, the Radiant Corps had never considered cooperating with District Thirteen either.

The negotiations, which were nothing short of serious, were merely meant to make the military of District Thirteen wholeheartedly block the invasion of the alien forces.

The generals of District Thirteen might have anticipated this, but now they really had no choice—the Parliament, blinded by profit, was unable to see past grabbing gold, and the social seasons held throughout the year had allowed countless spies and secret agents to take up residence here.

The seemingly impregnable District Thirteen was, in fact, riddled with infiltration.

The Empire would never allow such a security threat to exist on its borders.

The Radiant Corps had long made preparations for this. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for a single spy to silently infiltrate a heavily guarded military district and successfully steal the map of the troop deployments.

If that contact person hadn't betrayed them, the entire plan would have been flawless, and District Thirteen wouldn't even be able to trace the spy's affiliations.

However, the situation tonight was bound to be beyond many people's expectations.

Nobody knew why today was such a special day, or why the Five-star Hotel was such a feng shui treasure, that so many people had chosen this time and place to act.

After enjoying the fireworks for a moment and heaving a sigh, Xu Shuo refocused his attention on the ruins not far away.

The daring Male Waiter had just thrown a grenade at those two people, and of course, no one was killed, but he had successfully taken most of the hatred value off Manager Zhang.

As the beginning of all the upheavals this evening, the spy who had infiltrated the military district, if there was one person the Capital Commandant most wanted to kill, it was definitely him!

Continue your adventure at empire

So when the Capital Commandant looked over with a gloomy expression, the deep black hostility and murderous intent in his eyes caused him to shiver, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head, chilling him from the apex of his head down to his tailbone!

Not to mention, Manager Zhang was also eyeing him with ill intent nearby.

The Male Waiter instinctively tensed up to the extreme at that moment, feeling his scalp tingle and his hair stand on end!

What the hell kind of people are these?

How can they not be killed by a grenade!

Are these two human tanks?!

Manager Zhang was a mess, his arm had been dislocated just now, but he had since forcefully put it back into place, and the blood sprayed in battle was enough for an adult's worth.

Yet, he still stood firmly there, like a dreadful death god emerging from a sea of blood, his clothes so soaked they could probably wring out a basin of blood.

The Capital Commandant's dark blue military coat had been discarded, leaving only a black shirt that was convenient for fighting. He now sported a fist-sized bloody dent on his waist, but his expression remained cold and indifferent, and his eyes, devoid of any superfluous emotion, were chilling to the bone.

Aside from looking a bit battered, it seemed as if neither of the two men had sustained any serious injuries.

In fact, the Male Waiter had secretly observed for a while before the attack, and during the fight, it was Capital Commandant who had the upper hand.

Manager Zhang's attacks were ferocious and violent, yet pounding on the Capital Commandant for such a long time had only produced a bloody dent. Those punches, capable of shattering stone walls, couldn't penetrate the Capital Commandant's body, demonstrating just how formidable his physical strength was!

This guy's going to need a cannon to be brought down, huh?

That's what the Male Waiter thought as he threw the grenade.

The Capital Commandant almost instantly noticed the sneak attack, seizing Manager Zhang by the arm and flinging him out!

However, Manager Zhang, who was about to become a human shield, also managed to twist his body in the blink of an eye, forcibly reversing his restrained arm, just in time to dodge the grenade head-on!

Then—"Boom!"

Both were blown away, and now both were eyeing the Male Waiter with gloom.

After an awkward silence, the Male Waiter suddenly picked up a rifle from the ground and started firing at the Capital Commandant, shouting, "Old Zhang! I'll help you!"

The Capital Commandant's eyes flashed with intensity, and his figure moved like lightning, like a black panther that had firmly latched onto its prey, suddenly charging forward!

This frightened the male waiter into hastily discarding his rifle, retreating rapidly with equal speed. With a strange twist of his body, his feet skidding across the floor, he narrowly dodged the Capital Commandant's attack and then rushed straight towards Manager Zhang's location!

He wasn't foolish enough to stay and confront the Capital Commandant alone, thereby creating an opportunity for Manager Zhang to escape.

His intention was to join forces with Manager Zhang to take on the Capital Commandant!

If one person couldn't defeat him or escape, then maybe two people stood a chance, right?Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Damn it! If it weren't for that guy setting a trap, his actual plan was to wait for the main forces of the Radiant Corps to arrive, and then they could all find a way to gang up on the Capital Commandant!

...

However, if the Capital Commandant was still alive before the Radiant Corps entered the Ninth District, the army that had been commanded to action would be tricky to deal with.

Xu Shuo sat leisurely nearby, resting his chin on his hand, watching the battle unfold.

Chaos had already been ignited in the urban area, and now the Capital Commandant's movements were tied up here, he was to be slain right here!

—This was the original plan.

But what was somewhat unexpected now was that the weapon thrown by Manager Zhang seemed extraordinary.

The tiny dust continued to spread around, and this substance appeared to have a terrifying contagion. Initially, only the soldiers nearby had lost their ability to act, but soon even more soldiers on the other side were affected.

Some soldiers tried to check on their comrades' condition, but in a short while, they too were infected.

The soldiers on the outer perimeter reacted and, before the contagion spread to them, quickly retreated to seek help.

The army was in distress, but the three people fighting amidst the dust in the center seemed unaffected so far—likely thanks to their robust physiques, or perhaps some items.

But being affected was probably just a matter of time, which is why Manager Zhang kept luring the Capital Commandant to stay and fight in that area.

Even as they fought fiercely, they never strayed too far from the spreading dust.

Xu Shuo sniffed and a few fine dust particles entered through his respiratory tract, instantly bringing an indescribable feeling of nausea to his throat!

He quickly took out some acupuncture needles and jabbed himself several times.

It turned out to be a bioweapon.

This must be a weapon prepared by the North. Judging from the reluctant expression on Manager Zhang's face when he used it, it probably had purposes beyond this particular application.

It was likely meant for the entire Ninth District.

Luckily, this turn of events prevented him from doing so in time.

Otherwise, not to mention the military district currently resisting the invasion of the alien race, even after the Radiant Corps entered the Ninth District, they would likely fall victim to this thing's treachery, truly an unforeseeable defense.

Watching Manager Zhang at the center of the battlefield, a cold light flashed in Xu Shuo's eyes.

He lifted his hand and boldly made a gesture.

In the night, a soldier of the military district not far away who was slacking off noticed the signal, and after a moment of hesitation, he hurried over.

"Doctor Kong, this place is dangerous, please leave quickly as well," he said cautiously.

"Code name 'Yao'. And bring me a sniper rifle," Xu Shuo said, tilting his head slightly even as his gaze remained fixed on the battlefield.

"..." The soldier understood.

This master had hidden his abilities well!

And now he was watching the chaos openly!
