There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 661

Chapter 661: Chapter 566: The Bride: What?

He’s a Man?!_2 Chapter 661: Chapter 566: The Bride: What?

He’s a Man?!_2 The scholar furrowed her brows, and suddenly, mechanical armor extended from her sleeve, enveloping her entire hand before she threw a heavy punch at the monster!

Boom!

The monster was sent flying, crashing into the ruins behind it before shaking its head and clambering up again.

“It can’t be killed?”

“You’re using physical force to fight an Abyss Creature, who taught you that?”

As he spoke, the village chief pulled out a silver pistol and squeezed the trigger at the monster!

Silver bullets poured out, and the monster hit by them screamed in pain, disintegrating into ashes like a burning piece of paper.

...

“Let’s get out of here, quick!”

The scholar didn’t dwell on the village chief’s sarcasm, but glanced over at the back of the ruins to evaluate where more monsters were gathering before breaking into a run.

Her direction, North Mountain!

Miss Wang followed closely behind; all she wanted now was to survive with the main group.

At this moment, to be alone was to court death!

The village chief, who was at the rear, cursed as he fired his gun: “Who taught you to have an old man in his seventies cover the retreat!”

More and more monsters emerged on the streets, their hideous faces illuminated by the flickering flames in the darkness, charging wildly from all directions, propelled by the most primal instincts to pounce and kill!

Mechanical devices extended again from the trouser legs of the scholar, encompassing her entire foot.

With a quick spin, she kicked the monster that charged right in front of her, sending it flying!

Although it was impossible to completely wipe out these monsters, she could at least repel them.

The village chief, running behind, would shoot them down, saving himself the trouble of aiming at moving targets.

At this moment, the scholar glanced at Miss Wang, who was nearly inseparable at her side.

“If you can’t prove yourself useful,” she whispered, “you might get sacrificed later.

I see the village chief’s patience running thin.”

Miss Wang’s expression changed slightly.

Indeed.

But it wasn’t just the village chief, was it?

Upon hearing that her task was the main objective, not only the village chief, but also the scholar, showed subtle changes in their eyes.

However, the scholar wasn’t confident enough to take down the village chief alone, so she chose to help him complete the task, heading to the graveyards fraught with danger.

Similarly, the scholar also couldn’t possibly cooperate with Miss Wang to kill the village chief.

Because as the main objective, surrounded by the Abyss, she was marked for death.

The scholar, wanting to survive, would surely choose to eliminate her!

At that moment, they were all enemies!

But this was clearly the most foolish way to end things.

If they wished to avoid civil strife.

The best course of action would be for them to go to the graveyard to complete the village chief’s task, and then find Wang Tiezhu to help him trigger the countdown to the game’s end.

Only then would the words “defend to the last” not just mean “die.”

But even so…

Miss Wang’s situation was still very dangerous.

Because the countdown to the end of a Second Level Script is a full hour!

If they didn’t want to hold on for an hour, they could simply kill Miss Wang!

With the player’s death, the task would fail, and the system would automatically eliminate that main quest, allowing the survivors to complete the “finish all tasks” objective to end the game!

So it seemed, no matter how she thought about it, death was the likely outcome.

Miss Wang bit her lip.

She had miscalculated.

She shouldn’t have been deceived by the seemingly friendly behavior of these two people and then hint that she was the main objective.

She was essentially throwing herself into the fire…

In the world of a Scripted Murder Game, evidently, there was not a single player one could easily ally with!

In the face of life and death, no player would sacrifice themselves for a stranger!

Now the scholar’s warning gave Miss Wang a slim chance to live, so long as she could demonstrate enough usefulness, enough for all players to last until the game ended.

Then perhaps they would be willing to let her live.

Miss Wang sighed.

She had been wondering why her task was so simple, so simple it was terrifying.

[Main Quest: Survive.]

Now she understood.

This was not a simple task at all.

She needed to guard against the bride’s murderous intent, guard against the Abyss, and guard against all the players in the script!

As the last legitimate young master of the Wang Family, burdened with a heritage of deep sins, his predicament was indeed severe.

Otherwise, how could it be so hard to survive?!

After a sigh, Miss Wang’s eyes filled with determination as she opened her own Player’s Handbook.

Come out, Character Card!

…

…

While those three players were engaged in a battle royale game throughout the alleyways.

On the wall of a certain courtyard.

Two people who both favored high ground stood there.

Xu Shuo looked on with interest at the flashing lights in the distance and clicked his tongue in wonder, “I was wondering why he hasn’t made a move throughout the whole thing, so he was hiding this trick up his sleeve.

It’s just cross-dressing, what’s there to be afraid of?”

Miss Wang transformed into the Holy Light Girl, and with the appearance of her Character Card, the cross-dressing shifted from disguise to true form!

Truthfully, she was the second person Xu Shuo had encountered who had a Character Card at such a low stage.

The first person was Cheng Can.

Cheng Can’s luck was ridiculously good.

In a mental hospital, he could encounter a noble person to help him escape; in the hotel, he could somehow miraculously survive a fight with the Capital Commandant; even facing Luo Kun on Free Night, he could hold his own.

So it wasn’t a surprise to Xu Shuo that this person had a chance to obtain a Character Card.

Maybe Character Cards were specifically meant for these children of destiny.

Unlike him who had honestly worked through the bride’s substory for so long and still hadn’t triggered Wang Tiezhu’s Character Card.

Truly, his luck wasn’t very good.

Curious, the bride looked towards that direction and asked, “What’s that?

I never knew this child could transform.”

Xu Shuo said, “Just think of it as if she’s like me, having undergone certain changes for some reason, so it’s not strange for her to transform into a girl.”

The bride paused, “What do you mean?

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

Isn’t she a girl?”

Xu Shuo also paused, “Don’t you know who he is?

Then how do you usually discern the direct bloodline of the Wang Family?”

“Back when I was still controlling those Osmanthus Trees, the entire Osmanthus Village was under my control, and I could faintly sense their differences.

But later I lost control of the Osmanthus Trees, and my control over Osmanthus Village wasn’t as refined as before,” the bride said.

In short, her power had declined due to the Abyss’s erosion.

She used to be the unequaled ruler over Osmanthus Village, but now she contends with the Abyss for Osmanthus Village, temporarily at a stalemate.

At this moment, the bride seemed to recall something.

She spoke in a lowered voice, “So you mean to say, that girl is actually a boy, right?”

Before Xu Shuo could say anything, the bride mumbled to herself, “No wonder I was drawn to her last night, I thought I recognized the wrong person and felt too embarrassed to do anything.”

Xu Shuo: “…”

You can actually feel embarrassed?

After talking to herself, the bride’s emotional turmoil started boiling again, seeming to brew a towering rage!

“The Wang Family!

Very well, they actually dare to deceive me like this!”

“Wait a second…”

Xu Shuo interrupted her fury, “This isn’t the time for settling scores, let’s first take your body out of here, I worry that it could become tainted by the darkness if we wait too long.”

What’s more important.

That Miss Wang who activated her Character Card seems quite useful; she could be kept around to help deal with the Abyss.

The bride was very emotional.

Her emotions always fluctuated violently and effortlessly with various matters, truly showing the erratic nature of a fierce ghost.

Or rather, that was the uncontrollable side of her as a Resentful Spirit.

After all, she was an Evil Ghost born from the emotion of hatred.

The bride glared at Xu Shuo, “My body doesn’t need to be worried about at all, so, are you speaking for him?

Do you want to save him?!”

Her extreme hatred for the Wang Family was only compounded by the recent revelation that she’d been deceived like a fool for over a decade, and this amalgamation of old grudges and new didn’t allow her to calm down so quickly.

Seeing her reaction, Xu Shuo sighed and said, “Fine, go kill him then, I’m heading to North Mountain.”

Having said that, Xu Shuo ran directly towards North Mountain.

Whenever a monster lunged at him, it was instantly smitten into pieces by a swing of his staff, exploding into brilliant points of light that scattered away.

Beneath the Radiance, all darkness had nowhere to hide!

Back at the spot, the furious bride watched his departing figure, then glanced at Miss Wang nearby, seemingly struggling and restraining something within her.

After a long while, she snorted coldly and still floated off, chasing after the young man.
