The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

"THEN let me start first," Duan Yu said.  "The setting of this character is that of a godly doctor who travels around the world.  And by 'world' I mean the four kingdoms inside this door.  This town we're in is located at the Kingdom of Beitang.  At the west of this Kingdom is Wei.  That's where the godly doctor was before he traveled back here.  

"When he was at Wei, he discovered a somewhat alarming news.  Wei was planning to siege war against Beitang.  He's an arrogant jerk but he still considers Beitang as his home.  He doesn't want it to be ravaged by war, so he immediately planned to return.  On his way to the capital, he met the crown prince.  And thus ended up here.  That's most of the information I have."

Luo Yan almost frowned.  Why the heck was this guy's character introduction so comprehensive?  While he only got 'Shishi'– the proud number one courtesan of Yuexing Pavilion.  

"My role doesn't have much character introduction.  All the information on this character's profile is related to the crown prince," Shen Ji Yun then said next.  "The crown prince didn't come here to celebrate his Uncle's birthday but to investigate.  Countless assassination attempt this month led him here.  If it was normal, he wouldn't think any of it.  Because people had been trying to kill him since he was born.  But this past month, the assassination attempts just doubled.  Clearly, someone wanted him to die as quickly as possible.

"The investigation led straight to Prince Lin Rong.  The crown prince didn't want to believe that immediately.  Because all the breadcrumbs pointed straight to him.  It was too easy, too obvious.  So he decided to attend his uncle's birthday banquet.  To ask him personally.  He didn't tell it to the Emperor because he didn't want to cause a rift between the two brothers."

This time, Luo Yan did frown.  Even Shen Ji Yun had important information with him.  Wasn't this simply discrimination?  Maybe that King really does hate him.  That heartless bastard.  Then the two looked at him, their eyes telling him that it's your turn now to speak.

He sighed.  "I don't have any significant information currently attach to this identity.  Although, I witnessed something earlier before our performance in the banquet." That's probably the only information he could contribute.  "I saw the fiancé of now dead second young miss having a rendezvous with a maid.  They were passionately professing their love to each other."

"At one glance, it looked as if each information we have were unrelated to each other.  But if one looks closely, maybe we can see the link that connects them from one another," Duan Yu said.  "These three mysteries presented to us, I think they create a much bigger mystery.  What do you two think?"

Well, Luo Yan had to agree with Uriel.  These clues they had seemed to be all unrelated but the probability of them being connected to one another was very high.  It might not be as obvious just like Uriel said.  But the link was definitely there.  The fact that the three mystery prompt were all triggered during this banquet was evident enough.  

Although there's a chance that one mystery might not be related to the other two, something that happened tonight definitely led to it.  Like a cause and effect.  And yes, he's talking about the third mystery.  About what happened to the second young miss.  Because out of all the three, the first and second mystery definitely seemed connected to one another.  Being both assassination attempt and all.

"I also feel the same," he said, agreeing to what Uriel said.  "There's probably a bigger conspiracy going on here."

Shen Ji Yun turned to Uriel.  "You said that the poison that caused Prince Lin Rong to collapse was from Wei?"

Duan Yu nodded.  "Not just from Wei, it could only be found on Wei.  It's a colorless and odorless substance that is impossible to detect.  Unless you have the skills of a godly doctor, that is."

"Is that part of your current Temporary Skills?" Luo Yan asked.

Duan Yu nodded.  Then he noticed the sudden envious glare Noctis gave him.  He smiled.  "I have other useful skills, not just that one.  How about you, Noctis, what Temporary Skills did you get?"

Luo Yan was not stupid not to hear the taunt in those words.  So he smiled back.  "Why, Uriel, are you interested in seeing the skills of the number one courtesan in this town?  I have no problem with that.  But you have to pay for my services first.  Though I must warn you, I'm very, very, very expensive.  You might not even be able to afford a single dance."

Duan Yu wasn't able to retort fast enough.  Before he thought of something to say, Noctis already removed his attention from him.  He shook his head.  Well, if there's one thing that the guy was obviously good at, it's making smartass comeback.  

While the first thought that Shen Ji Yun had was; how many crystal coins should he give to the rabbit so he could see that beautiful dance once again?  Then he almost punched himself.  Just where did that thought come from?  Seriously, this past month, it felt like there's been a hole inside his brain making him produce all these weird thoughts.

So he just chose to go back straight to the topic at hand.  "What is the first thing that come to your mind when you're presented with these clues?"

"That the Wei Kingdom was the one responsible for the two assassination attempt.  That they were the ones responsible for the evidence the crown prince found which led him to attend the banquet.  They planned to use this event to get rid of the crown prince.  Some of the courtesans from Yuexing Pavilion probably have a connection to Wei.  They might be spies cultivated and placed in the pavilion, activated when needed.  With these, it could answer the first and second mystery," Luo Yan said which wasn't denied by the other two.

"And with the third mystery, we could say that the second young miss didn't hang herself but was killed by the fiancé and the maid," Duan Yu added.  "But would it be really that easy?"

"No," Shen Ji Yun answered straight.  "If it was, then there would be no need for us to investigate.  I doubt these mysteries would be solved with just the players combining the current information they have."

"So let's investigate," Luo Yan said.  "I'll go and talk with the other courtesans, find out who threw that dagger and poisoned the old prince.  A lot of our questions would be answer if we find her or them."

"I'll go with him.  Since I'm ordered by the crown prince to watch over his every move," Shen Ji Yun said.

Duan Yu had a feeling that even if the crown prince didn't give that order, YUN would still follow Noctis.  But he didn't voice that out and said, "Then I guess I'll go check the dead second young miss."

"It's 7:40 in the evening.  We still have four hours and 20 minutes to solve this," Shen Ji Yun said.  "Let's go."

And the three of them walked out of the room.
