There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 694 - 595: Lethal Beauty

Chapter 694: Chapter 595: Lethal Beauty

About half a month later, Peace Street finally announced a complete lift of the lockdown.

During this time, more than one rain fell in Heiyu District, causing the entire Yang City to be shrouded in dark clouds and drizzly for half a month.

Xu Xi stayed at home obediently during this period.

She didn’t go anywhere, just studied first-year knowledge at home and petted the cat on the side.

One day, a black cat suddenly appeared in her home.

After trying it out and finding the touch quite nice, Xu Xi got familiar with the cat, and occasionally the two would gather in front of the computer to learn new knowledge together, and they did so quite seriously.

...

Half a month later, Peace Street was unsealed.

The trapped people dashed out as if they were in jubilation, and Xu Xi also continued her internship at the studio.

It is worth mentioning

that during this half-month, the world was exceptionally peaceful, with not a single abyssal event occurring.

Xu Shuo originally thought that an Abyss would appear in his home soon, but after patiently waiting at home for half a month, nothing happened, and it felt as if that last effort from the Abyss Rift was the Abyss’s final act of defiance.

But since there wasn’t anything urgent in the short term, he also stopped self-isolating at home.

There was still no news from Hong Rao, but the two scripts prepared for him had already been hanging on the page for a long time.

Xu Shuo’s rest time in Script Space was now refreshed to thousands of hours.

Script Space really only goes crazy harvesting leeks in the early stage.

In the later stage, it acts indifferent.

Probably in the very later stages, it will act dying but not dead.

Why is this so?

Xu Shuo thought about it and, through what Los explained about Emotional Faith Power, he believed—

After playing through dozens of scripts, those older players are probably starting to become immune to the surprises in the Script World.

——Wow! This monster is so scary!

To earn some performance points, I’ll pretend to be a little scared.

——Wow! This story is so touching, boo hoo!

To earn some performance points, I’ll pretend to be a little moved.

Unless it’s death, they’re probably quite calm.

Therefore, unless it’s someone who sympathizes very easily, facing these situations you can basically become immune.

As for people’s Emotional Faith Power,

it definitely requires real emotions to be useful.

If you can’t produce new Faith Power, then why pay so much attention to you?

To hell with it!

Oh! Actually, they can be kept for going to the Abyss Battlefield.

Xu Shuo decided to finish the two scripts prepared by Hong Rao and then quickly advance to level three, but during the level three assessment, he did not plan to run around on his own.

Although he felt somewhat that, given Los’s subtle attitude toward him, he probably wouldn’t be allowed to die directly in a script.

But to entrust his life to an unknown person.

Forget that.

Let him survive for a while longer.

“You go to the company by yourself today. I’m planning to rest at home,” Xu Shuo said while cooking breakfast in the morning.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xi paused, “Then I also…”

She hadn’t finished speaking when Xu Shuo gave her a firm, questioning look, so Xu Xi could only swallow the rest of her words and looked a bit unhappy with her eyes downcast.

The black cat was slurping noodles nearby and went over, raising its paw to pat the back of her hand.

Go to the company with peace of mind, sister!

Xu Xi felt somewhat comforted, pinched the black cat’s little paw, and after finishing breakfast, she packed up her things and went to the company by bus on her own.

After Xu Xi left, the bride looked at Xu Shuo quizzically: “Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow?”

As Xu Shuo washed the dishes, he said indifferently, “When I enter a script, my consciousness is separated. It would be troublesome if the Abyss suddenly appeared at that time. But with Los there at the company, things should be manageable if anything happens.”

Compared to his own home,

the studio was obviously much safer.

Moreover, Pei Sheng recently recruited a new employee who could be described as a talent.

It is said to be Los’s sister.

Xu Shuo made a point of taking a look for this reason.

The girl wore twin braids and big glasses that looked exactly alike; although she had some freckles on her face, she was still quite cute. She just seemed extremely shy and timid, like a country girl who had just entered the city.

Having one Los had already added an insurance policy to the studio.

Two Los… well, with people like Los, that’s like welding the gate shut with double insurance!

Xu Shuo was indeed very relieved.

He locked the doors and windows, then went back to his room and comfortably lay on his bed to enter the Script Space.

The Player’s Handbook fluttered through its pages.

[Entering the game.]

[Your mentor “Hong Rao” has selected the script “Lethal Beauty” for this game. Would you like to enter?]

[Confirm.]

…

…

In another part of the Script Space.

A young man was rolling and howling on the sofa.

“Why! Why hasn’t he accepted my friend request yet! He didn’t even reply to my greeting!”

Qi, who was aesthetic and noble looking, but expressionless, was sitting next to him wiping his sword. Hearing this he simply said indifferently, “Aside from those players who take the idol route, who checks for greetings every day?”

And with the kind of greeting you sent.

It’s already good that he hasn’t blocked you.

“Damn, so he has already blocked me!”

Qi had just thought of this when an incredulous gasp came from the young man.

Qi: “…”

The young man originally wanted to look at Xu Shuo’s “Performed Scripts” to see if he had been playing any new scripts recently, but the interface was blank. That’s when he realized he had been blocked.

Qi continued, “Given the circumstances, there’s no need to wait for his response, just get into the script and earn that level-up experience.”

The young man felt wronged, “Why did he block me? Isn’t it good to play scripts together?”

Qi comforted, “Don’t worry about it, in a few days when the master returns, he will arrange your third-level assessment.”

The young man, “Did I do something wrong?”

Qi, “Just enter the script first, I’ll watch over you here.”

The young man, “I’m just a bit too straightforward when I speak.”

Qi, “Don’t waste time.”

The young man, “And I performed pretty well in the script, why wouldn’t he want to add me?”

Clang!

Qi’s sword unsheathed, its smooth mirror-like surface reflecting the ceiling lights, a flash of chill passing by!

The young man skillfully flipped to the last page of the Player’s Handbook and quickly entered the game, lying straight and stiff on the sofa.

Qi, expressionless, retracted the sword resting on the young man’s neck and continued wiping it with a brocade cloth.

No need for further words throughout the process.

…

[You have entered the theater.]

[The performance of “Lethal Beauty” is about to start, please prepare, players.]

[The beauty of this world, half is the natural craftsmanship of ghosts and gods, and half comes from the miracles created by living beings.]

[Under the gorgeous and luxuriant lights, this beauty also harbors ulterior motives.]

[She had no intention of harming anyone, for her brain didn’t allow her to have such thoughts—even as people went mad over her beauty, and died because of it.]

[The ugly ones are those who exploit beauty.]

A preface to the script flashed through the mind.

The young man opened his eyes and found himself in a lively bar.

Surrounding him was the deafening music, the people screaming and partying to their limits, and not far from the stage stood a woman of unparalleled beauty, dancing with a fiery grace.

She had an enchanting and delicate face, her long, lustrous golden hair sparkling under the multicolored lights, her beauty was unearthly.

In that instant.

Even the young man couldn’t help but stare intently.
