There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Chapter 311 Fate Varies from Person to Person

After discussing matters in the main control room, Xu Shuo took Yin Banqian to Cheng Can's current location.

The distances between safe houses varied; after being attacked, Cheng Can took the Inspection Team on a detour and then he quietly returned to a nearby safe house to hide.

"The other place is over a hundred kilometers away. Can you hold up?" Cheng Can asked the two with a stern face.

"Hey, cool it, man, we're just trusting in your abilities!" Yin Banqian said with a laugh, slinging an arm around his shoulders to give a reassuring pat.

Cheng Can snorted with a laugh.

Is that it? Did he look that easy to appease?!

His losses were significant!

Indeed, Cheng Can knew that given the urgency of the situation at the time, people probably didn't have time to take care of him.

He sulked for a while, then turned to Xu Shuo.

Xu Shuo nodded, "Don't worry, I'm adapting pretty well right now. It's completely doable just to get you guys over there."

Now even his juniors were more useful than he was...

The thought made Cheng Can even more morose. He opened the micro-end map and pointed out the location of the next safe house.

As a member of an organization known to all year round, Sigma had safe houses scattered all over Huai'an District – from low-rank Black Alley slums to high society elites, he had strongholds everywhere!

Cheng Can spent some time organizing his character card intelligence, and this time, he chose a high-end villa district located in the upper-class area.

Let them enjoy a taste of nobility too!

Xu Shuo moved the two over there.

The villa was situated in a small community within a high-altitude plaza, a two-story house complete with a small front yard, tastefully decorated but not overly lavish.

It looked like an ordinary villa.

"You don't have a game nutrition pod here either," Yin Banqian commented after looking around.

"..." Cheng Can.

Staying in his house, eating his nutrition supplements, using his game account, and still finding fault?!

Good, there was a fitness room in the villa – time to settle old grudges and new grievances together!

After delivering the two, and sensing the hostility spreading through the air, Xu Shuo decisively waved goodbye.

...

Xu Shuo returned to the teacher's office and first reviewed his previous lesson plans.

Professor Li's curriculum was very rich, and the lesson plans Wei Ya had made for him had been intentionally simplified to match the style of Professor Li's previous coursework.

So, Xu Shuo opened a new textbook and followed Professor Li's previous procedures to start crafting a plan.

It wasn't that he couldn't do it; he just didn't want to do it himself.

Xu Shuo had strong imitation skills, and by the time the sunset over Academy Island painted the sky, he had already created a lesson plan.

It was based on the text "Solar Eclipse Cataclysm" which he had previously studied. Since the course content was rich, it was relatively convenient to work with, as a lot of material could be taken from past video lectures by teachers, without needing to rack his brain for additions.

As a result, when a brand-new lesson plan was ready, he thought it over and uploaded it to the school network, scheduling the lecture for two days later.

It was scheduled for the day after that professor who said they would teach this text had their turn. That way, he would avoid overlapping with them.

After Xu Shuo uploaded the lesson plan and waited half the day without hearing the Character Card activation sound, he wondered whether it would only work after the lecture, or maybe this action wouldn't trigger it at all.

But there was no harm in trying.

As night fell and the neon lights outside lit up, he packed his things and left the office.

By the time he reached the bottom of the dormitory building, the teachers' forum was already buzzing.

"You lied!! You promised you wouldn't teach!"

"..."

Xu Shuo apologized and then made up an excuse on the spot. In the end, because his lecture time did not conflict, and he even postponed it by a day, the matter was glossed over.

Afterward, Wei Ya sent a [?] message.

Looking for guidance humbly, Xu Shuo replied: [I appreciate the hard work from my seniors before, I just suddenly remembered this thing related to Professor Li himself, so I wanted to try and see if it would trigger something. Do any of the seniors have thoughts on this?]

His words were discreet, but after some thought, everyone understood the implication.

Tortoiseshell Cat: [Leave it to fate.]

Siamese Cat: [Go with the flow.]

Maine Coon: [Go with the flow.]

Angora Cat: [Indeed, go with the flow.]

Xu Shuo: "..."

It shouldn't be like this, right? As the saying goes, people need to have dreams, maybe striving a little will lead to success?

Then, seeming to feel that such a response would be disgraceful to the junior who sought advice, Pianning thought for a while and added another line.

Angora Cat: [Let me put it this way, the four of us have experienced at least thirty missions, but so far, only Can has ever triggered it, not to mention that it's really hard to come across this thing at the low ranks.]

Siamese Cat: [Proud.jpg]

Angora Cat: [So basically, it's a matter of chance and not something to seek after deliberately. Relax, don't worry about it too much.]

Orange Cat: [Okay.]

Xu Shuo silently closed the chat room.

The buddies with different experiences wouldn't understand his tangled feelings!

Although Xu Shuo couldn't trigger the Character Card in every script, usually, in such long-lasting worlds, there was generally a chance.

Moreover, he really wanted Professor Li's card!

He was going to investigate the Paradise Bird Organization in the next couple of days, and he could try then.

After all, there was no harm in trying.

Looking forward to the exciting future, Xu Shuo closed his eyes and went to sleep with hope in his heart.

...

The next day.

Pianning informed everyone of some news that wasn't clearly good or bad.

She betrayed the location of Paradise Bird's base to the authorities.

And yesterday, the authorities directly destroyed Silverglow Tower in Huai'an District, so the officials' next actions were somewhat predictable.

They could just take this opportunity to infiltrate Paradise Bird.

After being troubled by Paradise Bird for so long, it was finally time for retaliation!

Xu Shuo pondered slightly, "Does the Prophet know about this?"

However, Pianning had also considered the issue Xu Shuo was thinking about before, and the Prophet's response was still the same as before: she would not interfere with any of their actions.

That included them getting rid of Paradise Bird.

Xu Shuo frowned slightly, this was a bit odd, so what exactly was the Prophet's and the head of the New An Bureau's feelings towards Paradise Bird?

After all, while there had always been friction between the New An Bureau and Paradise Bird, such blatantly open warfare where both sides wanted to annihilate each other seemed to be unprecedented.

And yet, in this situation, the Prophet showed no sign.

Did she 'see' something again?

But not being stopped was always good.

Since both parties were worried about delays causing problems, the New An Bureau and the authorities scheduled the operation for early this morning, planning to strike directly at the Paradise Bird's stronghold!

Xu Shuo looked at the schedule and couldn't help feeling worried.

If the operation was tonight, it would surely go on late, but he had his own lesson plan to teach tomorrow morning, and it was his first time seriously planning to give a lesson.

But now with such tight timing, if he didn't sleep well tonight, would he still be able to teach well tomorrow?

Would he still trigger the Character Card?!

Of course, maybe triggering the Character Card while teaching was never going to happen.

But...

Xu Shuo rubbed his forehead, "..."

He felt that he had been a bit anxious lately, perhaps because of Luo Kun's appearance, and the other party's unkillable state, which gave him a certain sense of urgency.

Just like in the hospital, having to kill someone over and over again, it really irritated him.
