章 15: Disappeared Head
編集者: Henyee Translations
In the quiet room.
Quiet April.
Chris succeeded in finding the mission target in the bedroom but not completely.
Because April's head was gone.
Just as Chris noticed April, the system notification sounded.
"Congratulations on completing the mission [Find the absentee April]."
"Congratulations on triggering the hidden mission, [Vanishing Head]."
"Please find April's head in 72 hours. If the mission fails, you will be wanted by the Mage Guild."
"Reward: Job Skill Book x1."
"The mission reward changes according to the completion level of the mission."
Mission Guidance: The peace in the apartment has been shattered. There are only players and a corpse in the room. Who is the murderer?
When Chris heard the system prompt, he only said one word. "Tsk!"
"Autumn Bean Pouch! Are you kidding me? He's just looking for someone. He didn't kill anyone, right?"
"Why did an ordinary mission become a hidden mission?"
Chris couldn't figure it out.
What the hell was this damn game doing?
"Are all hidden missions cabbage?"
"So casual?"
Of course, what troubled Chris was not the mission itself.
It was the punishment for failing the mission.
Even though completing the mission would reward him with a Job Skill Book.
However, if he failed, he would be wanted by the Mage Guild.
And if he was caught by the Mage Guild, he would be locked in a small black room.
Because it was a game, there were not many punishments in Godslaughter.
There were only a few punishments, such as the small black room.
As for the employees who attacked the Mage Guild, they had no chance of coming out once they were captured.
He would stay in the dark room until the game ended.
Such a situation could basically be offline.
However, the account could not be deleted in God Slayer.
This was very painful. It was a pain that could not be resisted.
[Mage Guild] belonged to the noble unit of Ogrema and was independent of the Empire.
In the early stages of the game, no one had been able to go against Ogrema.
Not even the middle stage!
After all, the size of the dynasty was there.
Of course, he could not go against the Mage Guild.
After all, there were many Mages here, many powerful Mages.
What could Chris do?
He had a way.
He still had three options.
However, the first option was directly eliminated by him.
After all, he could not defeat the Mage Guild.
The second option was to run!
He escaped before the Mage Guild wanted him dead.
He had 72 hours to run.
However, in his previous life, he had never heard of anyone who could escape from the wanted posters of the [Mage Guild].
Because they were Mages, Mages with strange skills.
'Maybe if you run today, your legs will take you to the Mage Guild tomorrow to turn yourself in.'
Therefore, unless it was a last resort, Chris did not want to see the skills of those Mages.
Then there was only one way for him to go.
He started to wander around the two sides of the house.
The house was very clean, which meant that April had been a neat person when she was alive.
Moreover, the treasures were not lost.
This meant that the killer was not after money.
Then the truth would be even more confusing. Chris had a headache.
Before entering this game, he was just an ordinary office worker.
How would he know how to solve a case?
And without any technical support.
At least give him the skill [Time Backtrack].
Perhaps he could see the scene when the murderer committed the crime.
Unfortunately, this wish was destined to not be realized.
The system did not give him anything.
At this moment, he really wanted to ask, "Huasheng, what do you think?"
Unfortunately, there was no Hua Sheng here, and no one could answer him.
There was only one dead person here.
Perhaps he could really ask the dead.
However, this dead person definitely wouldn't speak.
Because he was a headless mage.
Helpless, Chris could only search the house more carefully.
There was not much time left for him.
…
Soon.
Chris found something unusual in the house.
A footprint made of blood.
A button in his hand.
And the wounds on April and his cut neck.
Chris stood there for a long time before squatting down to pick up the button.
The button was black, as black as night.
There were even golden imprints on it.
It was obvious that the owner of the button was not short of money.
The footprints were red and blood red, although they were incomplete.
However, the footprint was not big, so the owner of the footprint was a woman.
Because men rarely had such small feet.
"Gario, come and take a look!"
"There's a huge hole in the door to April's house!"
"Hmm? I don't think April did this."
"After all, destroying the apartment will cost you your salary."
"Gario! What do you mean? It's obvious that I didn't break this door!"
"Claire, I didn't say that you did it. Why are you flustered?"
…
Chris immediately turned around when he heard the voice.
He saw the two people at the door arguing over who broke the door.
Fortunately, the two of them did not walk in to take a look.
Perhaps no one in this apartment would have thought that there was a headless mage lying in the room.
After all, this was a mage employee's apartment.
Who would dare to kill here?
Chris didn't dare, and so did most people.
He was provoking the Mage Guild.
…
Chris took advantage of their argument to open the bedroom window and jump out.
If he jumped down, he could revive at the city revival point even if he was killed.
If those two people saw him.
He probably only had a few hours left.
However, Chris did not die from the fall.
It was not because of his high HP.
Instead, he jumped into the trash.
Maybe that was why April hadn't opened her bedroom window on a hot summer day.
Chris looked up and saw a tube on the wall that snaked all the way to the roof.
Presumably, those homeless children could climb up the pipe.
This was probably where the murderer climbed up.
If he had come in through the front door, the grandpa would have told him.
Chris only looked at it for a moment before turning around and leaving.
It was not good to stay in such a dangerous place. If he did not walk faster, he would attract trouble.
However, the old man at the entrance of the apartment already knew that he had been there.
Perhaps that was why he had 72 hours of mission time.
Now he wanted to find the owner of the button and footprint as much as possible within 72 hours.
Of course, there was also April's head and the knife that had cut her head to prove her innocence.
However, Ogrema was so big. Where should he go to this female killer?
But even though he couldn't find the killer, it seemed like he could find someone else.
