Chapter 2029
【Silent One】 was just below the Belindell Big Ben, 【Detective】 was patrolling in the square, and 【Foreign Traveler】 was at the entrance of the club on the periphery of the square, almost out of the selectable range. "Her" puppet was wearing men's clothing, but the people sitting and standing at the table all thought this was a disguise.
"The criminal who broke into the club and murdered the local noble is the target of the three this afternoon. No one knows why they are so persistent about that criminal, but they are all determined to capture the criminal and gain honor. Clatter~ Fate jumps with the falling of the dice, as if people who have woken up from a long dream decide to do something at this time."
The three at the table then picked up their dice.
"Investigating the criminal must start from the crime scene. Roll two dice to form a number for 'City Anecdote' judgment. If the number is higher than 80, it is judged as knowing the location of the crime scene; if it fails, it needs to be re-investigated. 【Social Credit】 can provide additional bonuses for the dice. Higher points can obtain additional information."
The woman from the 【Light-Worshipper Seminar】 first tossed two dice:
"Points 41, 【Silent One】 social credit is 25, total 66."
It seems that he also just arrived locally, but the time should be half a month, otherwise, as a foreign Ringed Shushi, social credit would not be so high.
"No symbol can play a role in the current judgment, but activate the character's special talent - 【Silence】, at the cost of being unable to use 【Rhetoric】 and 【Persuasion】 in future rounds, any judgment in the current round obtains an additional 50-point bonus. The number of uses affects the number of times 【Rhetoric】 and 【Persuasion】 abilities cannot be used. Total points 116."
"What?"
The people of the Dawn Church and the witch looked up at her together, and the witch even asked:
"Where did you find a person with such a special talent? If I'm not mistaken, is he actually practicing silent cultivation in reality?"
The tall man behind the woman answered for her:
"Since Mr. Light-Chaser let us perform the mission, he is naturally prepared. It's just a First-Ring Ringed Shushi with a special talent, which is not worth being surprised about."
"This ability is very tricky, but can you really bear the cost?"
Mr. O'Connor, the Nine-Ring, tossed the dice:
"Points 10, 【Detective】's local credit is 51."
He frowned slightly:
"Although I can't see the specific content of the 【Occupation】 column, I want to use the special bonus of the 【Police】 occupation."
His brow relaxed immediately, and he smiled as he looked at the parchment:
"Sure enough, just like the hidden basic values, other hidden content is not unusable. When guessing the entry name correctly and using it, the entry will become clear."
This was said to "Lady Amethyst," but the problem was that the witch didn't know anything about "Miss Charlotte":
"Her occupation must at least include actor, right?"
"Occupation 【Moon Bay Police Department Police】 provides a 20-point bonus in this judgment. In addition, the symbol 【Loyal Police Badge】 can provide an additional 15-point bonus when performing activities related to investigation, so the total points are 96."
The Great Witch of Fate pondered while twisting the dice, and then tossed the dice in her hand—
Clatter~
"Points 53, 【Foreign Traveler】's local credit is... 9 points. Symbol Luo De deck, divination card Empress, provide a total of 10-point bonus. Currently total 72 points."
Although the number she threw was the largest among the three, the problem was that the time Xia De had been active locally was probably not enough for two days. Being able to have 9 points was because he knew the business partner of Princess Trade. The identities of Gray Glove agent and MI6 did not add local credit.
The man and woman from the 【Light-Worshipper Seminar】 both showed smiles at the corners of their mouths, while Mr. O'Connor and the two behind him were a bit worried.
"I want to use..."
She glanced at the four special abilities, and after confirming that none of them could provide additional points for this judgment, she reached out to her divination card deck again.
And a few minutes ago, Xia De, who was at the entrance of the club on the edge of the square, hesitating whether to take another stroll or turn into a cat to enter now, suddenly stopped his steps and blinked suspiciously:
"What is this feeling? Why is it so familiar?"
He turned to look at the square behind him, and then suddenly realized:
"This isn't..."
【Yes, Dice Story Collection.】
"She" smiled gently:
【You have been chosen by the Dice Story Collection again. Having experienced one game and achieved victory, the relic - Dice Story Collection, has provided you with additional permissions for entering the story again. This is the power of the winner.】
A large amount of information flowed into Xia De's mind, which was the full content of the game rules. Last time, only players like Iluna could know these:
"What's wrong with Moon Bay? The Unknowable-level 【Hope Diamond】, the Angel-level 【Unique Existence】 and 【Dice Story Collection】, are there so many high-danger relics in this city? Tobesk didn't have such things."
"She" smiled gently and continued to whisper in Xia De's ear:
【In this game, you can know the content and results of every judgment required by the three parties of players.】
"That's convenient, but are these the only additional permissions? We won once, and only got this? Last time we won, Iluna got the 【Sage's Glow Stone】, but I didn't get anything."
"She" continued to smile gently and did not answer:
【The one controlling you this time is that witch, and the event is to investigate the criminal who murdered Freeman Hawthorne. Judgment is in progress - whether the crime location is known.】
A series of throws by the witch and Xia De's own 【Social Credit】 value were automatically known by Xia De. While pondering, he continued to walk, and at this time he had walked back to the square from the entrance of the club:
"But isn't the one who murdered Freeman Hawthorne at the Parsifal Club on Friday me? If I report myself, wouldn't the investigation be completed?"
Of course, this was not allowed. The story originally should not have used the "case" committed by Xia De as his investigation target, but just like he was judged as an "ordinary person," it was clear that the relic had made a wrong judgment on Xia De again in the event selection.
He had already understood the special rules this time and wanted to help Miss Belindell, but the Great Witch of Fate found a solution herself.
On the clock tower terrace, new divination cards were drawn by the witch. She glanced at the card face representing "luck," and then picked up the parchment scroll again:
"Use special ability - Luck..."
The parchment scroll did not show any hidden content. The witch glanced at the hourglass counting down, and tried to say:
"Special ability - Inhuman luck, special luck, cursed luck, blessed luck, mortal luck... Yes, it's this one!"
New content was displayed in front of her eyes. This was a special ability that Iluna had not used back then to maintain Xia De's "ordinary person status." For Iluna back then, her distress was just picking out the entries that could be spoken out.
【Mortal Luck: Not the luckiest mortal in history, but at least possesses the blessing of the luckiest mortal in history - Schluch Riddle, who will always remember the life game they participated in together with ■. Every three actions once: In the case of encountering a judgment failure, roll a ten-sided die again. If the points are greater than 5, the total points increase by 2.0 times the value of the points; if the points are less than or equal to 5, the total points increase by the value of (basic luck) divided by (double the points).】
Activating the effect required reading out the entry, and when "Lady Amethyst" said this complex judgment content, the other two parties participating in the game looked at her with surprise.
The witch was actually more curious, and even wanted to take "Miss Charlotte" as her follower. She was also very curious about who "Schluch Riddle" was, but she still tossed the dice first. In her view, it was still 8 points short, so rolling a number above "5" would definitely pass, while "5" or below would depend on the basic luck value of that "Miss Charlotte."
And the bouncing dice finally showed a result even better than she thought:
"1 point?!"
Looking at the parchment again:
"The basic luck of 【Foreign Traveler】 is 98 points, so the total points are 72+49=121 points."
"Where did you find a person with 98 points of luck?"
The woman from the 【Light-Worshipper Seminar】 couldn't help but ask her, and even stated the reason for her suspicion:
"Basic luck, even Ringed Shushi cannot influence it at will. Whether it is an ordinary person or a Ringed Shushi, as long as they are still a mortal, luck can never exceed 100 in a normal state, and even 100 itself is impossible to appear. 98 points is already theoretically the highest luck. Where did you find this person?"
The witch pretended not to care:
"This is a girl under me, of course she is amazing."
She already had more thoughts about that "Miss Charlotte" in her heart. Of course, those thoughts would have to wait until the game was over:
"The points are enough, but I want higher points."
Glancing at the hourglass and confirming that there was still time, she continued to say:
"Use occupation characteristics, occupation - actor, killer, agent, none of them are right... MI6 or Gray Glove? Oh, guessed right - hmm?"
She widened her eyes, looking at the "MI6 Ace" and "Gray Glove Ace" that appeared at the same time, feeling that Vanessa was playing a very new game. And the figure of "Miss Charlotte," who was originally beautiful and had the talent of fate, became even more blurred and charming.
The witch hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether she should read it out, so she drew another card, confirmed the answer, and said:
"Occupation - MI6 agent, Gray Glove agent. The former can add an additional 35-point bonus to this 'City Anecdote' investigation, and the latter can add an additional 25-point bonus to this 'City Anecdote' investigation... Wait, why does Gray Glove add less than the Northern agent? Forget it, it doesn't matter, final points 121+60=181 points."
The woman in the black dress and the Church crowd did not express their views on this, but the former had already frowned:
"Lady Amethyst is indeed as powerful as the rumors say. No one would have thought of this person."
"【Silent One】, 【Detective】 and 【Foreign Traveler】 have already known in advance that the location of the 'Freeman Hawthorne' assault case is the 'Parsifal Club'. Because the total points exceed 100, 【Silent One】 obtained additional information '1. The criminal is male'; because the total points exceeded 150, 【Foreign Traveler】 obtained additional information '1. The criminal is male, 2. The criminal is under 30 years old'."
