There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game Chapter 931: 760 Spell Collection2

Chapter 931: Chapter 760 Spell Collection_2

“It’s personal.”

Xu Shuo watched her silently.

Hong Rao sighed and explained, “Here’s the thing, most people in the Star Guild are Magicians. When they cast spells, if no one with combat abilities is standing in front of them, it’s easy for them to be interrupted. Our Miracle Guild is allied with them; if they need ‘guards,’ they co to Miracle Guild to recruit. Likewise, the recruits can also ask the Star Guild for help with a task in return.”

The Star Guild’s combat tactics…

Hearing this, Xu Shuo thought of the female reporter in the script “To My Lovely Angel.”

Although the Star Guild’s ultimate ability is overwhelmingly powerful once unleashed, the long casting ti and vulnerability to interruptions are truly debilitating.

So, as rumored, Star Guild mbers often sacrifice their teammates during dungeon runs.

Teammate: What? Star Guild people? As long as I can hold out, this is definitely a one-wave clear!

Teammate: Why haven’t you finished casting yet??

Teammate: I can’t hold on anymore! Ah!

Star Guild: Casting Complete!

But the teammate has already croaked.

There are simply too many drawbacks…

Because their ultimate ability is genuinely hopeful, yet their long casting ti is genuinely despair-inducing.

No wonder they need to specifically recruit guards.

This is why the Star Guild has allied with more than one guild—after all, not all players have free ti constantly, so such alliances are always in high demand.

Hong Rao continued, “Guilds in the Script Space have fixed Abyss Battlefields. Every once in a while, they need to complete corresponding missions, so I’ve actually registered quite a few quotas in the Star Guild. Simply letting you go in to study the spell collection for a day isn’t that big of a deal.”

Xu Shuo nodded, “I know, but either way, thank you. If there’s anything else…”

“Just survive the fourth-level assessnt!”

Before Xu Shuo could finish speaking, Hong Rao responded bluntly without hesitation.

Because, for her, the most important thing at the mont is to successfully graduate a student—nothing else matters more.

Xu Shuo paused upon hearing this, but did not say anything further.

Why was Hong Rao so insistent on the fourth-level assessnt?

He didn’t ask any more questions.

Once the two had finished discussing the matter of “the Baseless One,” the edited script was already online. Hong Rao imdiately clicked play and enlarged the screen in mid-air to start watching.

Xu Shuo wasn’t very interested in watching, only glancing at his scenes to check if he had done anything inappropriate.

And at this mont—

Zuo Fang suddenly sent a chat ssage.

Zuo Fang: [Bro, let ask you sothing. Are you entangled with that lunatic in so ambiguous way?]

Xu Shuo: [?]

Xu Shuo: [He ca to you?]

Zuo Fang: [Yeah, he even threatened , saying if I dared block him he’d co to my door. Plus, he forced to copy your script list and send it to him.]

Xu Shuo: [And then?]

Zuo Fang: [Obviously, I refused! Do you think I’m that disloyal?]

Xu Shuo: [And then?]

Zuo Fang: [Hehe, as repaynt for not selling you out, can we call it even on those 3,000 points?]

Xu Shuo: [Oh, you reminded —transfer the points over right now.]

Zuo Fang: […]

Xu Shuo: [If you dare back out, see if I won’t co find you.]

Zuo Fang: [???]

The chat interface suddenly went silent.

Just as Xu Shuo frowned, thinking the other side wanted to default, he prepared another threat—when the chat refreshed again.

The other party decisively transferred the points.

System: [You’ve received a transfer. Please check promptly.]

System: [You’ve confird receipt.]

Zuo Fang: [You’re ruthless! Watch out—I’ll copy your scripts and send them to him now. I’ll even leak your identity to him!]

Zuo Fang: [Hah!]

After saying his threats, Zuo Fang disappeared.

He didn’t bother negotiating further, likely knowing the person on the other side wasn’t easily fooled. So, he didn’t say a word, even pulling a reverse block after transferring the points, smugly severing ties with Xu Shuo.

Xu Shuo: [He wants to see my script list, probably just to deduce the abilities I gained through performing roles. (Yellow exclamation mark)]

Xu Shuo: [?(Yellow exclamation mark)]

Good grief.

It’s rare to be blocked by soone else.

Looking at the interface with yellow exclamation marks, Xu Shuo raised his brows and didn’t dwell too much on it—he simply reciprocated the gesture and blocked the other party too.

As for Luo Kun’s matter…

He wasn’t too concerned.

Using a player’s perford scripts to deduce their possible abilities is indeed one thod, and it’s generally hard to avoid.

However…

Most of Xu Shuo’s practical abilities aren’t from openly perford script roles.

Instead, they’re from abilities gained in scripts that were taken down.

Therefore, even if his list was examined, it wouldn’t matter much—it might even confuse the enemy, providing misleading intel with no harm done.

So, go ahead and look! Feel free!

Although he didn’t entirely expect Luo Kun to go after Zuo Fang post-performance, it’s probably because that guy figured out their team-up relationship from the script content.

But rest assured—it wasn’t him who got exposed.

Hmm… Which ans Zuo Fang ended up selling himself out!

And he still wants his 3,000 points back?

He’s lucky if he doesn’t lose more!

About those 3,000 points—

They were earned from selling a Special Artifact.

That artifact, of course, was the life-saving item Xu Shuo retrieved from the White-robed Bishop. After inspecting it, he figured it wasn’t useful to him, and passed it on to Zuo Fang.

Then, he set a low price of 3,000 points.

Zuo Fang: Thanks a lot.

…

…

Elsewhere in Script Space…

The ntor was seriously reading their script nearby.

Zuo Fang quietly got up, grabbed the couch pillow, and furiously pounded it. He even kicked the couch twice in frustration.

Sikong Weiyan glanced at him, “As a Swordsman supposed to cultivate their mind and composure, such agitation is disgraceful.”

Zuo Fang imdiately collapsed lifelessly on the couch.

“Teacher, do you think that madman will really co after for revenge? I just searched ‘Player Square’—his behavior is genuinely terrifying…”

“Don’t worry.”

“But you’re not helping at all…”

“He now knows what not to ss with.”

“Did you just call ‘a thing’…?”

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a sharp flash nailed the space beside the couch’s headrest, the slender sword’s tail trembling slightly—just like Zuo Fang’s trembling little heart.

Sikong Weiyan stared him down, “As a Swordsman supposed to cultivate their mind and composure, such impatience is disgraceful.”

Zuo Fang hesitantly propped up his floundering body, sat upright on the couch, and quietly joined his ntor in watching the ongoing two-army battle script.

But as he watched…

His mind began wandering again.

He opened the Player’s Handbook and released soone from the Little Black Room he’d just put them into, ssaging them to chat.

Zuo Fang: [Hey, which script are you planning to go for next? (Yellow exclamation mark)]

Zuo Fang: […(Yellow exclamation mark)]

Well, now he’s ended up losing both ways.

…

…

Make good use of the block feature.

The world can actually be peaceful.

anwhile, Xu Shuo and Hong Rao happily finished the script and briefly reviewed and discussed it in a peaceful atmosphere.

Although, there was one thing Hong Rao found puzzling.

For instance, why was this script edited so haphazardly? Based on the details, it seed like there should’ve been plenty of key scenes that weren’t shown.

This situation was almost as if sothing was being intentionally hidden.

Hong Rao thought of that person with chronic paranoia.

That person had ntioned such discrepancies to her—back then, she thought it was just them overthinking things.

But now it seems like they weren’t entirely overthinking.

Still, Hong Rao didn’t bring up this issue here.

She smiled and discussed the script with Xu Shuo.

Then she lightly encouraged him, chatted briefly about dungeon-strategy plans for the future, agreed on their next visit to the Star Guild, and left Xu Shuo’s personal space.

…

Hong Rao’s personal space was a small building.

When she returned, she went to a room on the top floor and looked at one of the walls.

The wall was covered with screenshots of Xu Shuo’s scripts and ability information—compiled from before and after she took him on as her student. These details were constantly updated.

After all, understanding her student’s abilities and tailoring growth strategies is critically important for a ntor who often loses students.

But Xu Shuo’s overly cautious nature made it difficult for her to gather information through direct communication—she could only investigate on her own.

This ti…

Hong Rao pondered for a mont.

Then she stuck a new note onto the wall, drawing a line that connected the young man’s photo to the text inside the note, before marking it with a question mark.

—”Judgent.”
