After get off work, I started speedrunning through the other world

"Is there anything in the sky?" Norma looked at the man beside her, who had been looking up at the sky, and also looked up.

Except for the dusk on the horizon, there was nothing special.

"Looking for my stars." Ximu answered casually, staring at the sky. The setting of this world is that everyone has a corresponding star in the sky. People have to find their own stars to obtain the magical medium that interferes with the world.

And now he is looking up at the sky, waiting for the game system to refresh the corresponding stars, and then he can unlock the attribute of magic.

"If you want to find stars, it's better at night." Norma pulled the corner of his mouth, feeling that this man's brain circuit is really difficult to understand.

If you want to sense your own stars, you usually have to do it at night, through continuous attempts, and it takes about two or three years to locate them.

And it is basically impossible to find stars during the day, not to mention that the environment during the day is relatively noisy, and it is impossible to concentrate at all.

Of course, there are also great men in history who can easily find their own stars by looking at the sky casually during the day.

But those people have already been recorded in history books.

"Okay." Ximu retracted his gaze and quickened his pace, causing Norma, who was following behind him, to be stunned for a moment and subconsciously glance at the sky.

She seemed to see a star flickering vaguely, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if what she saw was just an illusion.

No... It is absolutely impossible to observe the stars during the day, at least for an ordinary person like her, it is absolutely impossible.

So it is really an illusion.

A moment later.

In front of the noble mansion.

"Are you the lady's friend?" The guard at the door had a look of distrust on his face. The man in front of him was holding an exaggerated sword, wearing a pair of blood-stained pants, and a helmet covering his face.

No matter how you look at it, he is a suspicious guy.

"If you don't believe me, you can go ask her." Ximu said to the guard without any guilt, "Just say I'm Akhtar, she will definitely let me in."

"...Okay, wait a minute." The guard listened to the calm and natural tone of the man in front of him, and felt a little uncertain. He thought it would be better to ask the lady.

He winked at his colleague beside him, turned around and walked into the mansion.

Ximu was not anxious or guilty, but instead spoke to the only guard left at the door as if he was playing a prank.

"Now it seems that only you... face me?"

"What do you want to do!" The guard panicked instantly and subconsciously wanted to draw the sword at his waist, but saw the strange man in front of him, laughing as if he had succeeded in a prank.

It was obvious that he was fooled by this man.

"Don't mind, I have no hostility towards you." Waving his hand, Ximu waited quietly, and Norma, who was beside him, was also quite surprised to see this scene.

This man actually has some connection with the nobles. Although he is only a small noble, it also shows that this man is at least not an ordinary person.

Soon after, the guard who went to report came back, followed by a young maid.

"Come in, Mr. Akhtar." The maid first looked at Ximu with a puzzled look, then walked into the mansion with this strange man with a gentle smile.

Ximu did not feel guilty about this, and followed very naturally. Norma behind him hesitated and followed closely.

In any case, she still had business to do with this man.

"The lady is inside, this... sir, please don't scare the lady." The maid said softly, and then bowed and retreated.

Ximu walked into the living room and sat calmly on the sofa. Opposite him was a beautiful woman with long brown hair. Whether it was her elegant sitting posture or her gentle smile, she perfectly met the definition of an elegant noble lady.

Unfortunately, she... no, it should be him.

But perhaps it was because of this that the beauty in front of him, named Anastasia, could be remembered in the game of Mysterious Door.

Not only because she can drop important equipment in the novice period, but also because of her pitiful life experience, and the fact that she is an elegant and gentle lady in both character and appearance, but the official setting forcibly identifies her as a male.

This has led to Anastasia's high popularity.

"I heard that this gentleman is my friend." Anastasia poured two cups of warm black tea and placed them near Ximu and Norma.

She smiled lightly with her lips covered, and her eyes curved into crescents.

"Sorry, I can't seem to remember when I met this gentleman."

"That's not important, where is your father?" Ximu asked directly, and in Anastasia's surprised eyes, he said:

"Did the old guy almost violate you before?"

The atmosphere fell silent.

Anastasia lowered her head, and her hand holding the teacup was trembling. It was obvious that she was hit on the heart. If this man hadn't come at the right time, he would probably be pressed on the bed and insulted by his father.

But why did this man know this information as if he had predicted it?

"After I leave, you still can't escape the fate of being insulted." Ximu said to the silent beauty with a nasty smile, "Tell me where he is, and I will help you solve all your worries, how about it?"

"... Sorry, I... can't quite understand what you said." Anastasia covered her forehead, not being able to accept the topic jumping so far.

In this regard, Ximu was very calm: "I accidentally obtained information about you through divination. I can't bear to see your miserable experience and want to help you change your destiny."

"Are you an astrologer?" Anastasia suddenly realized and had a seemingly reasonable explanation for why this man appeared so timely.

In this world, destiny is the starry sky, each person corresponds to a star, and the trajectory of the stars is the destiny of a person's life.

When people die, stars fall.

Those who have the ability to interpret the trajectory of the stars are what people call astrologers. They can not only understand the destiny of the times, but also predict everyone's life.

Just before she was about to be humiliated by her adoptive father, she appeared at the right moment to interrupt his evil behavior.

It's hard to explain for someone who's not an astrologer.

"By the way, I'll tell you some information. The person who poisoned your parents is your current adoptive father." Xi Mu added.

Lie, this is undoubtedly a lie, it is just a common saying among speedrunners. In fact, the person who killed Anastasia's parents was not Anastasia's current adoptive father.

However, Anastasia had already doubted her adoptive father, but now he just confirmed Anastasia's guess.

By the way, it also made the other party clear about his determination to kill his adoptive father.

"What's the price...?" Anastasia didn't believe that the astrologer in front of her came to help just because of her tragic experience.

Nowadays it is difficult for her to completely trust others.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your body." Ximu assured, and then stated his demand, "I'm only interested in your money."

He was not a gay man. Even though Anastasia was beautiful, there were so many beauties in the game world that they did not deserve to be treated differently by him.

Not to mention that he just wants to level up as quickly as possible and speed through the game.

"..." Anastasia thought for a while, showing a struggling look, and then heard the astrologer's persuasion in a cold tone.

"You are really weak for still hesitating under such circumstances." Ximu picked up the tea cup on the table and drank it in one gulp:

"The souls of your parents are crying."

"Stop talking, I know what to do." Taking a deep breath, Anastasia's eyes became firm.

The astrologer was right, in order to avenge his parents, and also to avoid being harmed by his adoptive father.

You must make a decisive choice.

"Then tell me where your adoptive father is. Forget it, just take me to see him." Ximu smiled, stood up and walked out of the living room.

Anastasia, with hatred in her heart, followed Ximu's footsteps and took the astrologer to find her adoptive father.

However, this scene was very... confusing to Norma. She followed the two of them cautiously, as if she hadn't recovered yet.

After all, she was just here for business, so why was she involved in the feud between the nobles now?

And that man was actually an astrologer, so he really called me here just for business and not for any other reason.

Confused thoughts abound.

…

…

study.

A fat middle-aged man sat at the table, with his hands crossed and looking at the man in front of him wearing only a pair of underpants and a helmet, with an expression of uncontrollable disgust and contempt.

Why would someone like this become Anastasia's friend?

"Untouchable, I allow you to say three sentences." His tone was full of condescension, as if allowing this untouchable to say three sentences was already a gift.

In response to this, Ximu was not angry at all. He took off his helmet and handed it to Norma next to him. He rubbed his hands and showed a flattering smile.

"I am full of admiration for Miss Anastasia." He took a deep breath and took a step closer.

"I hope to get your permission to let Miss Anastasia marry me."

"Hahahahaha... Untouchable, you have such good taste, but you are also very stupid." The fat man laughed loudly. This untouchable actually thought Anastasia was a woman and was deeply fascinated by her.

"Do you know her hidden true face?" He looked at his adopted daughter with playful eyes. He began to look forward to how desperate and disbelieving this pariah would look after knowing Anastasia's true gender.

It will definitely be a pleasing picture.

However.

"Of course I know." The pen placed on the table had been held by Ximu at some point. It was like a piercing spear, piercing the obese man's neck, so fast that no one could react.

The pen was drawn out and blood gushes out like a fountain.

What happened?

The obese man didn't react for a moment. He only felt a chill on his neck and felt warm liquid spurting out.

Then, his mouth was covered by the pariah in front of him. He saw this pariah speaking softly to him with a dangerous smile.

"Don't shout...don't shout, stay quiet." As he said this, the hand covering his mouth became harder and harder, so that he could not recite any spells and could only feel the passage of life.

The gushing blood dyed the ground red and flowed on the ground to form a pool of blood. The obese man who kept trying to struggle gradually became unable to stop his movements.

This is the disadvantage of a magician who specializes in spells. As long as his throat is pierced and his mouth is blocked, he is almost like a lamb to be slaughtered.

Xi Mu withdrew his hand and looked at Norma aside: "Clean up the blood stains on the scene and pack the body in a box for us to take out later."

"Okay." Norma shuddered and nodded in agreement. She knew very well how to clean up the blood and pack the bodies.

After all, she used to do this in the duel arena.

Now she finally understood why Ximu called her here. It turned out that he wanted her to clean up the murder scene.
