Chapter 328: Poaching Success! Fushiguro Shier Looks...
Fushiguro Shiro looked at the female sorcerer in front of him, his expression difficult to discern.
The thoughts expressed by this person...are they actually true?
"I say, you're incredible!" the player repeated, his eyes still filled with envy. "If that's the case, then wouldn't you be invincible in the sex world?!"
Is this the real-life version of sacrificing one's other talents and choosing one path to stick to?
So extreme, so powerful!
Although I don’t know whether Fushiguro Jiro or Skarlu has better physical fitness, this kind of mercenary who works for money and obviously acts alone... is very suitable for issuing recruitment invitations!
The player touched his chin, and was ready to poach the players.
"Hmph, as a sorcerer, you simply don't understand what having no cursed energy means in a world full of it." Hearing the sincere praise from the female sorcerer, Fushiguro Shiro, who recalled his own shameful past, was not moved. Instead, he twitched the corners of his mouth and sneered.
"I don't know about anything else, but someone like you definitely represents strength." The player gave a thumbs-up and continued, "And... you have a secret that you're not even aware of, right?"
It's a body without any cursed power, but it's wrapped in something that seems to be there and not there, but has a strong presence in the eyes of the players... Interesting.
This thing's state is somewhat similar to Yuni's when the player and Yuni first met, but this one looks weaker and more ethereal, and its size is also different.
"Really? This kind of thing... I don't care!" Fushiguro Shige, who had experienced many changes and had already been exiled, shook his head to get rid of unnecessary distracting thoughts, and then his body moved like a ghost, suddenly attacking the female sorcerer with strange methods.
"Don't be so anxious, Mr. Shen'er. Actually, we can really sit down and have a good chat."
The player who had been quietly filling up his health bar while chatting took a few steps back. "I really think your Heaven and Curse Binding is very powerful. And... you seem to be highly immune to cursed energy."
"I suppose you feel the same way about cursed spirits?"
"Black or white, a cat that can catch mice is a powerful cat. With the right spell tools, slaying cursed spirits would be a piece of cake for you, wouldn't it?" The player blinked and offered a sincere invitation, "Would you like to join me? The pay is quite good."
"You still have the mind to challenge me while we're fighting, sorcerer?" Fushiguro Shier casually swung his nunchaku. The chain connecting the short staff flashed in front of him, reflecting the sinister smile on his face. "Then you can give it a try. If you have the ability to kill me here..."
It's not that he can't accept this woman's invitation.
The sharp sound of metal collision exploded in the ears of the two men. The player's eyes were sharp, and the golden sword firmly stuck to the chain of the nunchaku. Then he swung it hard and picked up the nunchaku and flew out. The black-haired man also reacted quickly and flexibly. He took advantage of the force and moved forward. While retreating, he also grasped the weapon again.
The moment he landed, Fushiguro Shigeru used the force to kick off and flew towards the player again like an arrow.
"Kenshin - The First Style of Protection: Sword and Shield!" The player, who had gained a lot of combat experience in the previous battle, chose to use the sword and shield to block Fushiguro Shiro's full-strength attack. He used the Breathing of the Sun - Form Four: Illusion of the Sun to confuse the magician killer's illusion, and after standing still, he launched an active attack.
"Breathing of the Sun - Eighth Form: Flying Wheel Kagerou!"
The black-haired girl let out a low cry, and the tip of the golden sword in her hand swayed like the fire of the sun, looking very dazzling.
Did he suddenly change his weapon... It seems like he did something similar just now.
Fushiguro Shiro's expression remained unchanged, but his mind was racing like an abacus.
After all, just now, he saw this female sorcerer with space-related spells change weapons several times in a row: long sword, short knife, pistol, etc.
This time, the golden sword should be replaced with a short blade.
After reaching the conclusion, he quickly came up with a solution and implemented it.
but……
Puff——
It was the sound of a long sword passing through □□!
The sorcerer did not change his weapon, but used the special nature of his moves to make him mistakenly believe that the golden sword had been replaced with a short blade, resulting in a misjudgment!
Fushiguro Shinobu acted decisively and retreated several steps to prevent the sorcerer from taking advantage of the opportunity to stir up his flesh and blood and make his wounds worse.
But she didn't seem to have this idea. She just watched him retreat quietly, then opened her mouth to invite him again.
"Really? Mr. Shen'er, if you choose to accept my invitation, I will also compensate you for your losses - I will pay double the fee for this order."
If players don’t choose to poach such a powerful NPC without a stable boss, it would be a waste of this God-given opportunity!
Ignoring the bearded old man's whispered shouts, the player who had knocked him unconscious with a rock took out a card and fiddled with it seemingly casually. "If you refuse me again this time, I might as well expand my domain."
"I'm sure you're familiar with this concept of domain, Mr. Shier. I've mastered it before my peers, but I haven't used it yet."
Seeing the black-haired man's expression change slightly, the player recalled Sophia, who had been assisting and interfering nearby, and dispelled the golden flames around him as a gesture of sincerity. Then he explained, "My domain is not only filled with chaotic and complex spatial rifts, but also randomly spawns various abyssal black holes. It's definitely something you don't want to see."
After being intimidated, the player then used inducements to reveal the generous treatment he had received - although from the current perspective, this was just an unfinished golden pie, it did not prevent the player from using it to deceive others.
Finally, the player made a summary.
"...I don't mean to threaten you with this, nor do I want to restrict your freedom, Mr. Shen'er. If you are willing to join, we can even adopt a more flexible employment contract."
"Besides, I just feel that some of the practices in the magic world are so outdated that even a budding magician like me can't stand it, so I want to make a small change."
The player moved his fingers, making a gesture. Looking at the black-haired man who was still defiant, but whose ears moved unconsciously, he smiled and said, "It's the early stages of our business, and we're in urgent need of talent. We can talk it over easily, and the salary will be good. Don't miss this opportunity, it won't come back again—"
"What do you think of the conditions I offer?" Just like when they first met, after saying what he wanted to say, the player took out a large box of effective props that could be used to capture NPCs - small coins!
"...Interesting, a student from Jujutsu High School wants to overturn the world of Jujutsu?" Fushiguro Shiori slowly raised his head and laughed, "This is truly unexpected!"
The threat from the domain wasn't as devastating as he'd imagined for a body bound by Heaven and Curse. Even if he couldn't win, he still had the ability to escape. The offer, while good, wasn't essential for a top-tier assassin like him. However, his final words perfectly matched his penchant for disrupting the world of curses...
This female sorcerer named Aurora, what she said was really enough to move people's hearts.
If she wanted to have her own say in the feudal and decadent world of magic, she would certainly turn the entire world of magic upside down. However, she invited herself, who was disliked by her family and expelled from the world of magic, to join her organization... Why not?
Fushiguro Shier wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and laughed, "In view of the reward and your madness, I accept your invitation, Miss——"
[Fushiguro Shiori joins your organization (temporary)]
【Mission Completed】
[Task rewards have been distributed to players' backpacks]
Yay! The persistent player invitation was successful! But...
The player, who hadn't expected to be recognized, looked a little surprised. "Eh? Mr. Shen'er, did you recognize me as the one who paid the next commission?"
Fushiguro Shiji, who just subconsciously used the common name, said: "Huh?"
"You're surprised, and rightly so. After all, I wasn't like this when we first met."
The player changed into the same appearance as when he first met Fushiguro Shier, turned around gracefully, and said to the black-haired man with some surprise, "I didn't expect your reconnaissance ability to be quite good, Mr. Shier. This is really a pleasant surprise-"
Recognizing this person as the wealthy and easy-to-cheat tycoon he had seen at the racetrack not long ago, Fushiguro Shigeki said, "Ha!"
"Then consider this time's reward as one that I have already paid in advance!" The player looked at Fushiguro Shino who was staring unconsciously and teased with a smile.
"What?" Fushiguro Shier reacted quickly: "That won't work."
"Hehe, I was just kidding!"
"Of course I won't go back on my word!" Looking at the shocked NPC, the player laughed and put the box of reward in the NPC's hand, and also put the card on the box.
"We are about to establish a friendly cooperative relationship. To show my sincerity, I will also tell you the secret that I just mentioned during the battle."
The girl with long black hair lowered her eyes, her bright and clear eyes hidden under her long and fine eyelashes, but it could not hide the dazzling color emitted by her golden eyes.
She stretched out her hand and slowly lowered it over the black card.
"Card, use——"
[Hyper-realistic handcuffs: can allow a virtual character to have a body and exist in real life for one hour.
Note: If you want the avatar to play with you, you must not remove the handcuffs, otherwise the avatar will return to its original appearance.
In an instant, as the black-haired girl finished speaking, the black card placed on the cash box turned into a pair of handcuffs and slowly rose up. The moment it touched the black-haired man's skin, it emitted a dazzling light.
After the dazzling golden light passed, the so-called secret of Fushiguro Shigeki was revealed to him without reservation.
"Who are you……?"
The black-haired man, who always wore a meaningless mask on his face, had his pupils dilated for the first time, his expression changed unpredictably, and he couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise and horror.
"Huili?!!!"
