Chapter 293: The Murder Incident on the Eighteenth Floor
🕑 Added 2025-07-11 04:10:56 +0000 UTC"Finally, we're on the eighteenth floor. So tired, we can rest now."
After passing through the opening to the eighteenth floor, Tiona stretched luxuriously, saying comfortably.
"Tiona, you didn't even lift a finger. Lili is the one who's tired."
Hearing this, Tione immediately retorted.
"Uh, hehe."
"Alright, it looks late on the eighteenth floor too. Let's find an inn to rest. My treat today."
Just then, Finn said with a smile, shaking his head.
"Oh yeah!"
These words immediately made everyone's eyes light up. Inns on the eighteenth floor weren't cheap; they usually slept in tents.
"Captain Blake, would you like to join us?"
Then, Finn looked at Blake, who seemed lost in thought, and asked.
"Mm, then I'll trouble Captain Finn."
Hearing this, Blake nodded.
"You're welcome."
Finn smiled and nodded, leading the way through the forest path towards the town.
However, when they arrived at the town, the usually bustling adventurer town appeared unusually deserted, with hardly any passersby.
This also made Finn and the others' eyes narrow.
Only Blake slightly narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected that despite all the butterfly effects he caused, this plot development still happened.
Just then, a burly man with a black eye patch walked out of a house, his face full of worry.
"Bors, what happened?"
Seeing the man, Finn's eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly.
"Loki Familia and the Conqueror, why are you here at this time...?"
Hearing this voice, the adventurer known as Bors looked over, saying helplessly.
"Actually, there's been a murder in this inn."
Then, he began to explain.
This also made the Loki Familia members' expressions change slightly.
"Let me take you to see it first. It's truly tragic."
Seeing the solemn expressions of the Loki Familia and Blake's calm demeanor, Bors's eyes flickered slightly. He shook his head and led the way.
Soon after, they arrived at a room. On the ground lay a male corpse, dressed only in underwear, with its face peeled off, lying in a pool of blood.
"Last night, a man in full armor and a woman wearing a hood came to this inn, and then a murder occurred. Since their faces couldn't be seen, we don't know who the killer or the victim is. It's utterly dreadful."
Seeing Finn and the others' grim expressions, Bors quickly explained.
"So I specially got this, an unlock potion. If we check their ability values, we should be able to find out which Familia they belonged to."
Then, Bors took out a bottle of red potion and said.
"Using such a drug is very disrespectful to the deceased."
Hearing this, Riveria said with a solemn expression.
"At a time like this, who cares about that?"
In response, Bors angrily said this before dripping the potion onto the corpse.
In an instant, pictographic patterns emerged.
"High Elf Lady, you should be able to read Elvish script, right?"
Then, he said to Riveria.
"...Mm."
Hearing this, Riveria frowned slightly, then nodded. Since things had come to this, there was no point in saying more.
"Affiliation: Ganesha Familia, name: Hashana, Doria, Level Four."
"How is that possible! A Level Four? was killed without any resistance?!"
No sooner had these words fallen than Bors immediately exclaimed in disbelief.
"Could it be...!"
Then, he looked at the Loki Familia and Blake, his expression uncertain.
At this scene, only these people could have done it.
"I think we had time to be here yesterday?"
However, before he could question them, Blake suddenly spoke, cutting him off.
"Uh... sorry..."
Hearing this, Bors immediately gave an awkward laugh. Yesterday was the grand Familia Myth War Game; everyone except for a few people like them went to watch.
"However, since she killed this man, it means she was purposefully looking for someone or something in this town. She shouldn't have left yet."
Just then, Blake suddenly spoke, and the content of his words made everyone's eyes light up.
"Right! Quickly gather all the adventurers in town! And be fast!"
The next moment, Bors anxiously said to the Dog-person youth sitting on the bed.
In response, the youth immediately ran out.
In a short while, under the twilight sky, adventurers, amidst a cacophony of voices, were all gathered in a spacious area.
"The killer in town is among you, so now it's inspection time! Everyone, strip!"
"Oohhhhhh!"
"Ahhh!!!"
Standing in front, Bors excitedly waved his hand, showing no sign that he was trying to find a criminal. This made a group of male adventurers cheer excitedly, while female adventurers covered themselves and screamed.
This scene, while making Blake feel incredibly strange, also made him somewhat admire Bors. In such a critical moment, he still had the mind to take advantage of a group of girls. He was practically a veteran pervert from another world.
However, Blake quite approved. Anyway, his own girls weren't among them, and occasionally getting such benefits from random passersby was quite nice. Yes, he had to admit, well done.
"What nonsense are you talking about? The women's side will be checked by us."
However, the next moment, Riveria frowned and spoke, making all the women breathe a sigh of relief. The men were all disappointed, with continuous boos.
"Hm?"
Just then, Ais seemed to have discovered something. Her golden eyes flickered slightly, and she left Riveria's side. Lefiya, who had been watching Ais, also quickly followed.
"Although Ais now completely outmatches that guy, I'll still go and see."
Blake raised an eyebrow, then followed as well.
The passerby benefits were gone, which was a shame, but it was nothing unexpected.
Compared to that, Blake wanted to see Ais beat that red-haired woman.
In his previous life, watching his adorable disciple Ais get abused on his computer made Blake's heart ache for a long time.
