NOVPUBChapter 586: Chapter 506: Must Not Startle the Snake in the Grass Chapter 586: Chapter 506: Must Not Startle the Snake in the Grass The female journalist was infuriated for a while, but then she began to notice more and more things that were amiss.
She immediately transformed into the famous detective from the script, scrutinizing the strategies on the forum, her own notebook, and the experiences that she remembered with a rigorous mindset.
As a result, after a while, the journalist realized something terrifying—the guy, could he have possessed the wrong character?
She found such a reality too bizarre to comprehend!
But Cerys did bear a striking resemblance to the dean.
Once inside the Script World, a player’s appearance would combine with the original appearance of the character, and the resulting look would be the final appearance of the player performing the role.
But if it was said that Cerys just happened to have the same face as the dean, she felt…
...
Felt that it might not be impossible.
With this thought in mind, the journalist figured the script must have been completed by now, so she hurriedly opened her “Performed Scripts” to take a closer look at that face.
But when she pulled up the system interface, she only saw three big characters written on it—Removed.
The female journalist was immediately stunned.
She looked down.
In the script list, “The Beautiful Legend of Prague” was also in removed status, which could only be seen by the players themselves who had performed the script.
Once a script was removed, it could no longer be entered or viewed, and only a bare script title sat there, proving its past existence.
Even the director themselves couldn’t watch it again.
After all, this meant that the Subspace had disappeared.
In fact, the removal of scripts was not particularly unusual among the high-end player community in Script Space, as the higher-level players who encountered more things understood the reasons behind it.
They would not find it particularly special.
At most, they would complain about how powerful the Abyss was.
Officially, the reason for script removal given by Script Space was likely because an NPC character had Awakened, and the script was sealed to respect the NPC’s personality.
But in truth, those who knew understood that it was likely the Abyss’s doing.
Not bursting the bubble was simply a matter of respecting the newcomers’ fragile hearts.
After coming out from “The Beautiful Legend of Prague,” the journalist recalled the actions of Steward Armand Ray and temporarily concluded that it was the erosion from the Abyss that caused the script to disappear.
But…
Now she had encountered this situation twice in a row, and each time the script just happened to have a character that looked similar; that was very strange!
At this moment, the journalist thought of many, many things.
The faces of Cerys and the dean intertwined in her mind, replaying like a virus, their voices and smiles frantically flashing and overlapping.
Suddenly, she had a flash of insight.
Apart from the fake social worker who disguised herself to deceive her…
The person afterward looked like the disguised blind girl, like the disguised white coat, and even like the dean who wasn’t in disguise!
Upon further reflection, if that person truly had the ability to shapeshift and disguise, there was no need to make the subsequent three individuals look similar, as it would be easy to be recognized.
Unless that was an uncontrollable element!
After pondering for a short while, the idea of “Character Card” subconsciously popped into her mind.
But, did the person have so many Character Cards?
The female journalist suddenly clenched her small comforter.
The deeper she delved into her thoughts, the more terrified she felt.
How could a level three player possibly have so many Character Cards when she hadn’t triggered a single one to this day!
It couldn’t be said that she was incredibly unlucky; rather, ninety percent of players were more or less in the same boat.
Otherwise, how could the status of Character Cards be on par with Resurrection Cards, coveted by countless people, with a plethora of forum strategies despite the extremely low chance of obtaining one?
So, she didn’t believe it!
There must be some other method being used!
But then she remembered the times when her consciousness was blurry, as if her thoughts were guided by some force, leading her to unleash a powerful move.
After the script ended, she thought it over and felt that it seemed like a Mind Control ability.
Just thinking about it is terrifying!
To be honest, the female journalist was feeling very anxious now.
She had encountered such peculiar situations twice in a row.
She worried she might be targeted.
Because maybe it was just a bug that the other party ran into the wrong character, but to own so many terrifying methods already in the third stage, could it be that there’s a major team behind that person?
It’s said that some big shots insanely use “soul fruit” to wash attributes and start from scratch specifically to conquer quality scripts, all for the purpose of obtaining the advanced rewards within those scripts, which can lead to a specially frightening level of power in the end!
If that really were the case, she had been involved with that person in two scripts, and the likelihood of being noticed was very high!
After all, it shouldn’t be difficult for those high-rank player teams to find a player in the Script Space.
And the fact that the person not only wasn’t corrected and punished for running into the wrong script character, but also possessed all sorts of spine-chilling methods, sounded too much like a tall tale!
When she further considered the frequent occurrences of script withdrawals lately, she couldn’t help but conjure up many conspiracy theories in an instant.
The female journalist shivered.
She looked at the notebook on the bed, now hesitating whether she should destroy the evidence.
If someone questioned her later, she would simply express that she knew nothing!
My “real record notes” are gone, so I don’t have any brains left, sob…
Why did I have to dig so deep to analyze these things, sob…
I hope nobody notices me, sob…
Wait a minute!
Concerning the possibility of being unfairly targeted, the journalist’s thoughts were particularly clear at the moment; she felt she needed to find someone to help with this strange situation!
Of course, she had to be careful not to alarm anyone.
First, she would tentatively inquire in the guild…
…
…
Within the blank space of Script Space.
Xu Shuo lay leisurely on a red couch, after collecting his rewards for this round, he opened the chat box with Hong Rao to check again.
The other party still hadn’t replied.
It was quite unusual for Hong Rao to have left him hanging for so long, Xu Shuo thought with a sense of novelty.
But this also indirectly proved that the other party was probably facing some trouble that left no time to care for him; otherwise, Little Flying Messages would have flown to him as soon as they noticed he had strayed into another script.
Seeing this, Xu Shuo slightly conveyed his concern for his mentor, sending over a greeting message.
Hope the mentor is safe and sound.jpg.
Since he was off work and didn’t have to go to his job today, Xu Shuo was in no hurry to leave the Script Space.
Remembering something, he opened the forum to start a search.
[What is the Star Guild?]
In an instant, a list of threads densely packed followed, with the top-trending high-rewarded posts, indicating that this information wasn’t something to be wary of.
Xu Shuo clicked through the posts one by one to check.
In the end, he found nothing particularly surprising.
The Star Guild was just a guild established by players in the Script Space, and the bar to join wasn’t high, welcoming all levels.
Players only needed to believe in the legendary “God of Knowledge and Wisdom” associated with truth and obtain the god’s brand in the initiation rite to become one of its members.
Moreover, new members were guaranteed a special skill upon joining, hence all members of the Star Guild were good at explosive techniques!
As their leader said well—truth only exists within the range of an explosion!
And because they worship the God of Wisdom, the people of the Star Guild were recognized as intelligent, which was evident in both script performance and guild practice bouts.
But Xu Shuo thought…
Some people might have cheated their way through.
