There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

```

About half a minute later, the entire Technology Building suddenly lit up with light again.

Still with no warning of change, the mechanical sphere at the center overhead continued to operate, rotating and emitting colorful lights, the simulated sky on the building's ceiling continued to work, the walls glowed slightly, and the room was bright and spacious.

At the same time, the sensation of being blocked from using superpowers descended again.

But before the lights came on, Yin Banqian, holding the unconscious Wei Ya, had already accurately located Cheng Can's position and squeezed within two meters of Arman.

Yin Banqian's invisibility was only effective for himself and could simultaneously hide objects he was holding, but it did not work on living beings.

Therefore, after he touched Wei Ya's body for more than a certain amount of time, he became visible again, naturally unable to walk around openly anymore.

"Has Pianning responded yet?" Yin Banqian asked caringly while holding the person.

There was a problem when Pianning previously appeared in this place—on the team panel, her distance from everyone else was still hundreds of kilometers away; otherwise, they would have noticed the issue earlier and wouldn't have waited for Pianning to surprise them.

So this meant that the Pianning might not be the real one.

The blackout in the Technology Building happened right after Pianning finished speaking and took action, which was why Yin Banqian acted decisively.

It must have been something Pianning did.

More importantly, Wei Ya was still not awake.

Her body showed no signs of injury, her expression was serene, and her breathing was smooth; she seemed to be just ordinarily asleep.

Yet up to now, she had not appeared in the chat room, whereas in the past, even when Wei Ya was using her abilities to traverse data, she still found time to tease them.

Cheng Can ruffled his hair, "She has responded, but Pianning also isn't clear about what's happening; she wants us to leave the press conference first."

Yin Banqian was stunned, "Abandon the mission?"

Previously at the press conference venue, just as the host was about to finish introducing the new product series and started talking about the surprise behind the scenes, they were just moments away from learning where the "Spatial Jump Skills" were.

But then this happened...

Now the ones who took action against them first were not Paradise Bird, but Long Group. Was it Long Xunyin, who was an ordinary person?

Could it be that they mistook the camp?!

Cheng Can said anxiously, "Let's leave this building first. I always feel there is something strange here; I didn't dare to directly walk through the walls when I came out." Fearful of getting stuck.

His ability could allow him to walk through walls with someone else, but when he pulled Arman out earlier, he chose to use the main entrance rather than risk it.

Actually, on careful consideration, after entering this building, he hadn't used his powers subconsciously!

Originally, he was worried that walking through walls might trigger the alarm systems in the Technology Building's mechanical walls, but even after all the devices malfunctioned, he didn't use his powers to take the shortcut.

Perhaps the thought of "not wanting to get stuck in the walls" had deeply rooted itself in his mind...

Cheng Can was somewhat guilty when he said this, worried a bit that his friends might scorn him for running away in the face of danger.

But Yin Banqian was not the kind of person to dwell on these things; after all, this was not their first or second time teaming up for a mission, and more often than not, they prioritized team member safety over the mission.

"Alright, let's leave first!"

Yin Banqian nodded his head and suddenly added, "Right, there's another person."

The junior who had been silent all along hadn't made a sound—hopefully, nothing had happened to them.

Looking at the team panel distance, they seemed to be in the lobby of the Technology Building, a few hundred meters away from them.

Cheng Can looked at the chat room and didn't see the junior online, so he pushed Arman over and said, "I'll go find him. You take Wei Ya and leave this place."

Yin Banqian didn't dawdle, "Okay!"

Arman, who had been confused throughout the whole process beside them, "?"

Having just joined a mysterious organization, only to participate in such a secretive and thrilling spy-like activity, really was exciting!

...

Xu Shuo quickly read through the messages in the chat room, then looked beside him—taking advantage of the darkness just now, Luo Kun had blocked his Mind Reading but ran off who knows where.

During the moment of darkness, he thought it might have been Luo Kun's surprise, but after all that, it turned out to be Pianning's doing.

And now, even though his Psychic Ability was blocked again, Xu Shuo had already finished scanning the entire building in that brief time.

The Technology Building was truly gigantic, with its exterior designed to resemble a huge spiral-shaped rocket, while the interior had a capped hollow space, spanning at least over six hundred floors in total.

The lower-level floors were mostly ordinary staff, and higher up, chiefly researchers and leadership. The building housed numerous laboratories and material storage rooms, connected by a vacuum channel for freight transport.

Interestingly, even when the suppressive devices were inactive, when Xu Shuo's Psychic Ability tried to probe into a certain laboratory, he was still blocked from the outside.

```

When Xu Shuo wanted to continue breaking through, that feeling of blockage and stagnation appeared again, but he didn't want to give up.

He had an intuition that whatever was inside might be related to the mission!

There was an inexplicable urgency within him, urging him to find out what was inside!

So Xu Shuo simply exited the chat room.

After the building's lights were restored, the clueless crowd continued with their sightseeing, completely unaware of what had just happened. Explore more stories at My Virtual Library Empire

Until, the vast mechanical walls suddenly descended at the open doors of the building that soared dozens of meters high!

Bang!

The thick wall fell, tightly sealing the entrance to the Technology Building.

At the same time, all the windows of the over six-hundred-story building were sealed by mechanical walls, making the entire building airtight!

Cheng Can had run only a few meters toward the juniors when he froze at the sight of the descending walls.

His instinct was to leave this dangerous place immediately, but then he remembered he was searching for his juniors. In that moment of hesitation, the doors were sealed.

Cheng Can glanced at the team panel's distance; even he could barely sense Arman's presence after it had diminished, not knowing whether Yin Banqian and the others had taken the chance to escape.

The crowd trapped in the building was equally confused and soon erupted into chaos!

What was Long Group up to?!

Shutting down all mechanical devices and locking the building, was there some kind of surprise that required such an elaborate production to set the mood?

But many had a sharp feeling that something had happened.

Halting all mechanical devices was strange enough, considering that the Technology Building was the focus of Long Group. Wouldn't a sudden power outage damage the experiments?

And now with the building locked down, it feared that... someone had been discovered messing around.

For a time, everyone was anxious, and Long Group had yet to give any explanation!

...

Meanwhile, at the conference venue.

Long Xunyin sat expressionless, emanating a cold and imposing demeanor as she stared across at the empty chair with a frighteningly sinister look in her eyes.

The secretary stood at the door shivering, head bowed, daring not to breathe too loudly.

Just a moment ago, Director Long had been all smiles and exuberance, engaging in lively conversation with the Morales Family's young mistress, her abrupt demeanor forcing the other's face to drastically change. Yet Director Long's eyes twinkled with mockery.

Ultimately, the Morales Family's young mistress acted swiftly, her form disappearing from the chair in the next moment.

Following that, the building's machinery had malfunctioned for half a minute.

To this day, the secretary still felt a tightness in his breath and a chill through his body when he remembered Director Long's expression at that time.

Even though the building quickly returned to normal operation, Long Xunyin's expression remained ugly, and she immediately activated the Technology Building's highest-level security system.

"Damn Omega!"

Long Xunyin angrily kicked the chair across from her, sending it crashing against the wall and then falling to pieces on the floor.

Omega? The secretary was curious but still dared not lift his head.

Having served Director Long for decades, he knew all too well how capricious and difficult she was to please.

Such unpredictability made for the most challenging company.

If it weren't for the very generous salary, and since he hadn't really faced any substantial difficulties, he would have left long ago—the secretary thought to himself, silently complaining as he watched the woman smashing things around him.

After venting her anger for a while, Long Xunyin suddenly looked up at the electronic screen in the air, her face contorting into a smile.

That data trap she had meticulously crafted still held the Little Mouse that had scurried in, and they hadn't left yet. It was truly amusing—how could she let them go so easily?

As long as there was one hostage from the New An Bureau still with her...

Even if there was only one person, Alpha would surely come looking!

They would, without a doubt!

And if all else failed, there was still the Spatial Jump Skills!

Long Xunyin contemplated the future, holding her cheeks and smiling happily, her laugh sinister and chilling, making the secretary wish he didn't exist!
