[Curse Return] How can a sorcerer not be crazy?

Huailiang raised his eyebrows.

'Save the unlucky life and become a lucky one'?

From the perspective of universal values, her current life is not unlucky at all, it can even be considered astonishingly lucky.

After all, he had gone from being a starving commoner in an orphanage to a guide with awakened spiritual power, and had obtained the qualification to live in the royal capital.

They can even enjoy a high-quality life that ordinary people can't even dream of, and enter the White Tower to study various cultural courses such as mental power manipulation and development.

It was like a leap into the upper class.

However, all this went against Huailiang's expectations.

The most distant future she had planned for herself was to escape from the orphanage and work in a machinery manufacturing shop to learn a skill to support herself.

It would be best if I could own a shop of my own and survive as long as possible in the long future.

Instead of being like it is now, which appears to be a sea of ​​flowers but is actually a mess.

She had no awareness of making a glorious sacrifice as a soldier for the so-called "country".

After all, what she had seen in the past two years was the upper class people just sitting there doing nothing... The current king of the empire was not worthy of her loyalty.

However, every year, the sentinels or guides selected from outside to enter the royal capital are all implanted with subcutaneous positioning trackers on the day they enter the White Tower.

They are said to be the most "precious" existence in the empire. Even if they die on the battlefield in the future, subsequent countries will not give up on finding their bodies and bringing them back for burial.

In fact, it's like putting a leash on a dog, or perhaps more accurately, an electric shock collar?

Or maybe it’s a little “gadget” with explosive capabilities.

This is also the reason why she has never taken any action that crosses the line despite her resentment.

If you look at it from her own perspective, she is indeed an unlucky old woman.

"Then let's see how to become so-called 'lucky'."

It only took a second to load, so I guess this little game doesn't take up much memory.

Huai Liang didn't want to be discovered that he had sneaked out of the banquet, so he didn't let the projection screen show that he was floating in the air.

Instead, they play with the touch screen, just like the old-fashioned display screens they saw the housekeepers using in orphanages in poor areas.

The first thing that caught her eye was a wooden house.

On the black-tiled roof stood several stone sculptures of animals that she had never seen before, which were largely obscured by a layer of white snow.

The overall style is somewhat similar to the houses in their Chinese communities, but there are some differences.

For example, a series of white grid-like 'walls' that look like upright sails?

There is also a long corridor built under the eaves connecting to the outside of the "wall", with a futon casually thrown on it.

Outside the corridor is a secluded courtyard with the ground paved with large areas of white gravel.

Dozens of winding bluestone slabs connect the corridor under the eaves to the courtyard gate not far away.

Perhaps because it is approaching winter, there are not many plants in the courtyard, giving it the appearance of a dry landscape, which is a bit bleak.

Well, the game's graphics are very good, very delicate, and the details are also exquisite. It doesn't look like an image automatically synthesized by an algorithm.

Just as Huailiang was wondering if this kind of weird building was an imaginary world designed by the game developers themselves -

The lattice "wall" was pulled open from the inside out with a "swish".

It turns out it’s not a wall, but a door.

A little man in a brown short-sleeved shirt walked out of the door.

He had a scimitar-like device on his waist, put on a pair of... gray cloth shoes that were washed to a pale color at the front of the corridor, and walked out of the courtyard gate.

Hmm? Could this person be the so-called 'domineering killer'?

Although the character's painting style is not that delicate, it is just a rough human-like block of color.

But it's not hard to see that this guy seems to be doing a bit badly.

There is a large mosaic at the head position.

Huailiang followed the other party's route and dragged the screen's perspective, but was unexpectedly blocked by a wooden door that looked dilapidated at first glance.

She tried to shift her focus in three other directions, but found that the scope of activities covered by her current authority was limited to this slightly dilapidated courtyard.

Other 'maps' have not yet met the conditions for opening.

Huailiang was not discouraged, but began to explore with great interest.

She tried to zoom in, and found a hole in the roof.

Couldn't see any items to pick up, and couldn't open the package belonging to the 'game operator'.

It seems that this is not an RPG game of killing monsters and collecting items.

But it is more like an alternative development version...Otome game?

Click on the front door of the house, and the image on the screen instantly changes to the interior of the house.

The inside of the house looked even more shabby than the outside. There was a white mattress and a thin quilt on the beige rattan woven 'floor'.

A low table with a broken leg was placed on its feet with a piece of cardboard on it. On it were a pumpkin-shaped pot-bellied teapot and two fist-sized teacups.

On the outside of the wall next to the window coffin, there is a large wooden cabinet about two meters long and three meters high, which serves as the two halves of the space for storing clothes and other sundries.

Apart from that, there is nothing else.

Huai Liang thought about it. In such cold weather, there was not even a brazier for heating in the room, let alone any electrical appliances. It was like the empire hundreds of years ago, maintaining a purely "primitive" life.

She tried to pull the only tall cupboard, but found it was locked and couldn't be opened, so she had to give up in disappointment.

Huailiang was just poking and clicking here and there out of boredom, but failed to trigger any key prompts.

It seems that we can only proceed to the next step of the game by waiting for the little man to come back.

With a dull "rustle" sound, the little man in the coarse cloth scarf had actually returned.

He was carrying a heavy roll of firewood on his shoulders, which almost bent his waist. He put the firewood in the left corner of the house with a grunt.

In just a short while, his hair was soaked by the melted snow outside and was dripping with water.

He exhaled and rubbed his fingers that were frozen stiff and red. When he raised his hand, his pale arm was covered with crisscrossing purple scars.

Huailiang took a quick look and felt that the wound was caused by a whip, but he was not too sure.

So she zoomed in on the screen again, trying to see the other person's situation clearly.

[Do you want to unlock the killer's appearance? Yes, deduct 10 diamonds; No, the number of diamonds you currently hold is: 0]

[Please go to the mall in the lower left corner to recharge]

Huai Liang raised his eyebrows again. The way this rubbish game was played was too ugly.

Even if it is an 'otome' game, it can't be so stingy as to not even show the appearance of the target, and require players to pay first, right?
