There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

```

The Prophet's punch-in location is actually no good?

Clearly, in Professor Li's memory, his most extraordinary behavior, besides picking at his neural chip, was to peep at Aurora from time to time.

This shows that Aurora must hold a significant position, or perhaps there is some relationship between them.

Xu Shuo pondered in his heart and carefully reviewed the Memory Palace once more.

His life history was mostly unexceptional, and Professor Li truly enjoyed teaching. Every day, he would monitor the New An Bureau's movements, prepare his lessons diligently, and interact with students on the school network to solve their doubts.

Xu Shuo: "..." Does he have to try making a lesson plan himself?

It's not impossible, but it seems very unreliable.

There must be something else he hasn't discovered.

Xu Shuo thought of the word that had earlier stirred the Prophet's emotions—Paradise Bird.

In theory, the power of the head of the New An Bureau should be nearly invincible in this world, yet he still allows the existence of an organization like the Paradise Bird, which opposes him, and often gets troubled by it.

Perhaps it's because he doesn't want to strike against his own kind, but if one were to expand their thinking, could there be some unspeakable secrets?

Like the head of the New An Bureau having a dual personality?

Xu Shuo pondered and rejected the idea.

There were no gaps in Professor Li's memory, nor were there any secret encounters with the members of Paradise Bird.

However, the possibility of some connection between the Paradise Bird and the New An Bureau is there, otherwise the Prophet wouldn't have had that reaction earlier.

Since that's the case, the next punch-in location is tentatively set as the Paradise Bird headquarters.

It just so happens that Epsilon has already found their base, and Pianning is planning another visit to their base, likely in the next two days.

He should have a chance to be there in person, right? After all, if something unexpected occurs, he's supposed to be the one to pick them up.

As Xu Shuo thought about these things, he walked around the Trigonal Tower and returned to the large laboratory.

Yin Banqian had not woken up.

Researchers stood around him in a circle, and their expressions didn't seem troubled, suggesting that the examination results were not worrying?

"How is he?" Xu Shuo asked with concern.

"Ah, it's nothing serious, he just needs to sleep it off," one researcher turned and said, "It's just that the director's Soul Imprint was disturbed, probably something happened at that moment, so the director took action."

"..." Xu Shuo.

Xu Shuo was at a loss for words for a moment.

It seemed that these researchers were even able to perceive that, and it looked like he had to thoroughly sort through Professor Li's Memory Palace once he got back tonight.

Suddenly, one researcher looked him over and said, "Jieta, don't you want to get checked out too?"

Xu Shuo shook his head: "No need, I'm fine."

"Then what exactly happened at the scene? How did the director also show up?" the other party continued to ask.

"I'm not entirely sure, I only know that the Ability User with Molecular Manipulation showed up. I didn't see their fight. By the time I arrived at the scene, all I found was Delta unconscious," said Xu Shuo, expressing the right amount of confusion.

"Bai Mufei?" the other person nodded thoughtfully.

"Since Delta is alright, I'll take him away now," Xu Shuo said.

"No problem, it's fine for him to sleep here," the researcher casually waved his hand.

Xu Shuo looked around at the complex mechanical devices, the white-coated figures moving about, the culture tanks brimming with nutritive fluids and human bodies, and finally at the experimental table filled with surgical instruments.

He felt that Yin Banqian might well think he had entered some sort of research facility when he awoke.

Moreover, before he lost consciousness, he had been confronting a member of the Paradise Bird, and that New Human was a Psychic.

```

Perhaps after he regains consciousness, a storm will arise outside.

This scene was strangely enjoyable to witness.

Xu Shuo didn't refuse the researcher's kindness, thanked him, and then left the lab, heading toward the main control room based on his earlier impression.

However, the place where he had previously exited was now just a wall.

Since only the deputy director could enter the main control room, there actually wasn't a passageway; Xu Shuo knocked on the wall.

After a while, a door opened up in the wall.

Upon entering, Xu Shuo saw Pianning had just finished a virtual meeting with officials, frowning deeply. She glanced at him as he came in, which made her expression even stranger.

Xu Shuo, full of apologies: "Sorry, I seem to have walked into the wrong place just now."

Upon hearing this, Pianning waved her hand wearily.

It was all because this kid had been too well-behaved before, which had led her to lower her guard; thankfully, this time's problem wasn't too serious.

If the Prophet didn't care about something as big as the New An Bureau's deputy director being replaced, then finding out that a regular member had been swapped seemed like nothing noteworthy at this point.

Pianning shook her head helplessly, "Be more careful next time, luckily it didn't lead to any consequences."

Xu Shuo replied somewhat sheepishly, then added, "Also, those people said Senior Yin is fine. It's just that his soul imprint in his mind was disturbed, leading him to temporarily fall into unconsciousness."

"I know," Pianning nodded.

They had immediately shared the results with her after conducting the check-up. Although Pianning was talking to the officials, she was also quite concerned about her friend's condition.

Besides, if psychics could really break through the imprints in their minds and directly interfere with consciousness, then the upcoming battles would undoubtedly be much more difficult.

Fortunately, it was the New An Bureau's director who had done it…

Although it didn't sound particularly reassuring either.

Pianning didn't ask Xu Shuo about the situation on-site because she had also heard what he said in the lab earlier.

She was now waiting for an explanation from the New An Bureau's director: whether this incident truly was an accident or... a show of force towards them? Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire

Xu Shuo sat quietly on the side, waiting.

He was also contemplating a question—how exactly should he explain the situation to everyone?

Hmm… Just make something up.

After all, Yin Banqian himself didn't know what happened.

The main control room fell into a temporary silence. Xu Shuo was waiting for Yin Banqian to wake up, and then he would escort him out of the base, while Pianning dealt with other matters concerning the New An Bureau.

Due to the Silverglow Tower incident, the officials were pressuring the New An Bureau.

But actually, Pianning herself didn't feel a strong sense of belonging to the New An Bureau, so she sarcastically retorted based on the incident with the Inspection Team attacking Cheng Can, and the relationship between both parties became extremely stiff, with neither side willing to give in.

Pianning was truly fed up with the faces of the officials and the financiers. She had originally considered cooperating with them on the Long Group affair, but after this incident,

She felt it might be better to go solo.

Of course, if she could simultaneously sabotage the officials and financiers, that would be even better!

The outcome of the negotiations wasn't something that could be settled immediately. The two sides parted on bad terms this time, but negotiations could continue next time!

As Pianning was flipping through the New An Bureau's documents and pondering, she suddenly felt that strange feeling of being watched again, followed by a voice of indeterminate age and gender echoing in her mind.

She immediately looked toward the young man sitting beside her, but the latter was engrossed in playing a Micro-end game, seemingly oblivious to it.

Instead, because Pianning had turned around abruptly, he curiously glanced at her.

Pianning waved her hand to indicate it was nothing, then turned her head back with an inscrutable expression, her sea-blue eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

How rare, the New An Bureau's director actually came to explain...
