The Player’s System - Chapter 265

Unfinished Script

Junan and others moved around in order to find haunted scripts. “We are misguided perhaps.” Clark stood in front of the signboard, the direction of the pointer was blurry. “It is mere direction however there are two sides in front, if we go the first one, we will appear at the back side of the same section. Going second direction would lead in the merged section that is part of similar section in the right side. It is confusing.” He moved his shoulder joint in order to relax his arm.

“We are all confused and knew that it is because of the haunted script. The question is where we can get it?” Orin huffed. Inside his head he anticipated about the weapon ability or the profession ability. He was quite happy that he would get some ability in this level. Well the abilities of the professions and the abilities of the weapons already belonged to them however in this level the special and strong abilities would be divided by the developers.

He was fascinating about getting ability of the mace yet this task was dragging long. Jake sighed, it was time to ask task panel. He wished that task panel should not show reluctance.

As he voiced in his head, the clue appeared.

[Haunted Object is called Unfinished Wish]

[The straight direction: take two left then one right the sixth glass box has it]

[Warning: Destroying this haunted object would not complete the task]

[Precaution: The Host should finish the Unfinished Wish]

[Precaution: The script could fake out other scripts and misguide. It could mislead players and throw in the Hypnosis of words. Beware the words could destroy and the words could heal]

Jake read the clue. It was fairly explained. It was time to lead others and see the unfinished wish. Jake heard Clark. He added, “This is true. I have been marking some directions during our struggle. There are three directions that we missed because of the signboards. I didn’t speak about it earlier because I wanted to confirm this suspicion. The script perhaps has the power to misguide players. Let’s reach those directions and see what it unfolds.” He gestured them to follow toward where the task panel pointed location.

They nodded. Taking two left then one right, they reached in the merged section. “See we were not able to reach here earlier because we were following signboards.” Clark clasped. He was proud at the genius young player.

Jake walked and took a look at each script untill he reached in front of the sixth. It was as described by the task panel, an unfinished script however he was unable to decide whether it was wish or some coded riddle.

The king wrote his wish in the coded words so that his loyals could kill the queen and revenge. No one could directly blame and kill the queen because she was in power in the whole empire.

The coded words would have given necessary pointers as to how the loyals could get rid of her. But the king’s wish remained unfinished. So the loyals remained clueless.

Junan also came in front of the glass box. Albert walked near the same box after taking look on the others. He felt some instinct. “Out of all scripts placed in this script hall, this script is giving an aura. I am sure this one is haunted object in this hall.” Albert spoke confident.

Others hurriedly reached near after listening Albert. Since they found the haunted object now they could destroy and complete the task.

Junan got surprised and happy at the same time. He wanted the haunted object and destroy it. Now that it was in front of him, he brought the sword high to break the box.

“Stop, do not destroy.” Jake hastily yelled. Junan stopped his sword in the middle air. He looked at the expressions of Jake Lin. “According to book of detection we do not need to destroy the script. The clue didn’t mention it.” He hurriedly added.

Orin nodded, “The clue didn’t relate that we need to destroy however what else we are supposed to do?” He waved his mace.

Ahram remembered the words, “It was as, the words could destroy and the words could heal. I am not sure about the interpretation. Perhaps Albert could help.” Ahram gestured toward sane person in the team.

They looked at Albert hoping that he could solve it. Albert thought for a while, “It is not that the unfinished script is waiting for the words of destruction or is it?” He looked at the team head for confirmation. They fell in deliberation.

Jake didn’t receive any notification about how he should solve the unfinished script. He was clueless however the idea stuck his head, “How about we speak the unfinished words in order to complete this sentence?” He suggested.

It was all idea but it could solve the script if the words met the wish of the king. It would also make the script disappear as the wish would be fulfilled eventually.

“I agree with Jake Lin.” Sashi commented. Her intuition had the same idea brewing in her head just that she was little late to say it out loud.

They agreed to it. Now they glanced the script as if it was long lost dream. Orin glanced it longer earnestly. Clark caught this sight, “This script is not your ex.” He laughed as it was habit. He liked to joke around when it was tense situation however Junan usually disliked.

Orin turned his head, “I wish I had ex.” He also laughed which made Clark shocked, “I see you are learning from I.” He winked. Initially Orin disliked how Clark added comments like flash talk nonetheless he liked how this flash talk helped them more than once. He thought to learn it and use when it needed.

They took few moments to deliberate perfect sentence in order to complete script.

“The flower of the east….” The unfinished sentence was strange and carried lot of confusion.
