There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Chapter 784: Chapter 669: The Person Has Been Fooled Cripple

Teaching magic isn’t that difficult.

Xu Shuo asked her to close her eyes, then imprinted the magic mark into her body.

Soon, the girl’s entire body shone with golden light, and a Sun Crown symbol briefly flickered on her forehead before disappearing.

“It feels so warm…”

Sola couldn’t help but comment.

Xu Shuo indifferently said, “Feel this magic energy and try to make it flow through your body.”

After he did what he wanted, although his attitude did not make a direct 180-degree turn, there seemed to be some subtle changes.

In any case, when Sola opened her eyes, she keenly felt that the youth in front of her had become somewhat aloof.

Although his appearance was very cool, the tone of his voice and his smile gave a warm and gentle impression, giving off a very approachable vibe at first glance.

But now…

There was an indescribable feeling of ruthless abandonment.

Isn’t this the kind of behavior where someone tosses you aside after they’ve used you?

Can’t you at least pretend a little?

This made Sola tense up inwardly.

Xu Shuo glanced at her, then looked down and said in a low voice, “This magic consumes some energy, and the magic I used at the inn just now was also not a small expenditure. You practice on your own for now, I’m going to go rest for a bit.”

After saying this, he got up and headed towards the bedroom, his expression looking somewhat fatigued.

Sola also quickly stood up, seemingly relieved, and said hurriedly, “Then you rest first.”

Not until the youth’s figure disappeared behind the room door did Sola slowly relax her tense nerves, sitting back down on the stool with the fireplace’s light casting shadows on her somber face.

A little while later, Sola raised her hand, light twinkling in her palm.

A dim full moon symbol appeared, barely visible.

But it was nowhere near as clear and bright as the one the youth had shown, it was incredibly faint, and its light seemed ready to vanish at any moment.

Sola frowned, feeling the magic energy in the air and trying to control it, but still could not produce a magic mark as brilliant as the other.

Furthermore, as she employed the magic, her body gradually heated up, like the warmth of soaking in a hot spring.

Yet as the magic energy intensified, her body became hotter.

In the end, it began to burn.

The heat radiating from inside her made her feel a sting in her skin and bones, forcing her to stop using the magic, after which her body quickly returned to coldness.

The physique of the Elf Clan is cool; whether it’s the dead of winter or the height of summer, their bodies always carry a jade-like chill.

Therefore, they are quite resistant to cold.

As a result, Sola wasn’t sure if the heat she just experienced was caused by a curse triggered by the magic, or if the magic itself had issues.

Sitting alone in the quiet room, she watched the gentle dance of the flames in the fireplace, feeling her mind growing troubled again.

…

In the adjoining bedroom.

After entering the room, Xu Shuo closed the door with calm but swift movements. He turned to look at the window and met the gaze of a pair of dark red eyes not far away.

As he looked over, Luo Kun opened his hand and waved, bearing a strange smile with a hint of wickedness.

Xu Shuo, expressionless, shifted his gaze to Zuo Fang standing next to him.

Zuo Fang spread his hands in a gesture of helplessness.

Then, with his right hand shaped like a blade, he made a ferocious slash across his neck and pointed at the young man squatting by the lantern with a vivid threat.

Luo Kun seemed to sense his murderous intent and disdainfully glanced sideways at him.

The two of them had been following close behind, already outside the safe house when Xu Shuo was tricking the girl.

After a moment’s consideration, Xu Shuo spoke to his Chief Knight via thought transmission: “I haven’t obtained much useful information from her, but instead of just killing the goose for the golden eggs, I have thought of another good method.”

Outside, Zuo Fang looked surprised.

However, what surprised him seemed not to be the content of Xu Shuo’s words, but the fact that Xu Shuo could communicate with him directly via thought.

After all, although there was magic in this world, it hadn’t reached the point of being able to send secret messages telepathically.

And if it involved using the player’s own spiritual power, he should have been aware of it.

But Zuo Fang was only momentarily stunned before reacting. He figured that it might be an ability of the Pope of Light to the Order of the Sun Knights, and Xu Shuo had discovered how to use it at some point.

As for how he discovered it…

There could be many ways.

For the moment, he didn’t consider the Character Card.

After all, he didn’t have one.

With that thought, Zuo Fang also tried to speak in his mind: “What do you plan to do with her? Also, has her player identity been confirmed?”

Xu Shuo: “Not completely confirmed, but I estimate the result is not far off, since she is an offshoot of the Elf Clan and humans.”

Zuo Fang: “If we’re not planning to deal with her here, are we going to take her to The North with us?”

Xu Shuo: “Take her along, and along the way, let her try to control the Magical Beast Horde. If she can manage it, we’ll keep her; if not, then we’ll decide.”

Zuo Fang: “Oh…”

When the topic turned to that special horde of Magical Beasts, Zuo Fang finally understood the reason Xu Shuo kept her around.

Their trip to The North was primarily for the Elf Clan, as well as to settle the Magical Beasts issue before the faction wars commenced.
