Chapter 942: Chapter 767: Those Who Were Not Chosen

Because the Star Guild mark in Luo Kai’s consciousness reacted, he had no doubt about the authenticity of this object. The ordinary person in front of him had actually replicated an identical Star Guild artifact!

As for why the watch’s design was so ornate.

It was mainly because the Star Guild’s style was incredibly flamboyant.

This watch was a perfectly scaled-down replica of the large compass in the research institute, even down to the exact same engravings.

But…

This young man seemed like he had just arrived in Yang City today?

So, in other words, he created this replica entirely by studying those research materials beforehand?

Luo Kai couldn’t help but size up the other person again.

Then he squinted slightly and asked, “What’s your name? I mean the one that’s socially recognized and widely accepted.”

His sudden seriousness confused the people around him. After all, Captain Zheng had already introduced this person earlier, but this time, the inquiry seemed somewhat different.

Dr. Chu, still in his usual unhurried manner, responded, “Chu Xuechuan.”

With the second-level spiritual power Luo Kai could manage, he could barely confirm that the person wasn’t lying. So, he opened the Player’s Handbook and started searching.

Entered the name. Entered the facial impression.

[None].

This person really wasn’t a Script Space player.

Luo Kai rubbed his chin.

Suddenly, he found it puzzling.

If even such a rare talent wasn’t a player, how exactly did Script Space choose its players?

Based on looks?

…

…

Radiant Game Studio.

After Xu Shuo returned, he first went to look for Los.

Although he was now willing to share some personal information with Luo Kai and offer him a degree of trust, there was still some information that, even with trust, wasn’t suitable to disclose.

For instance, matters related to the Tower of Judgment, Judgement, or the Sixth Palace.

These issues weren’t his personal information.

So, sharing them wasn’t really his place.

Even though Los seemed easy to push around, and Themis seemed easy to handle too, neither were things he could flaunt recklessly.

So this was—

Rational withholding of information!

…

At the new department’s workstation.

Los, who had returned first, was diligently immersed in work. When he noticed someone approaching, he quickly turned around and saw Xu Shuo walking over.

Xu Shuo didn’t speak, simply raised his hand and pointed outside before walking out.

Before leaving the new department, he glanced at a girl sitting in the nearby intern workstation who was sneakily watching them.

When he glanced back.

The eavesdropping girl quickly averted her gaze.

Xu Shuo barely gave her another glance.

Having been signaled, Los remained seated briefly, a resigned expression on his face, but ultimately stood up and followed him out.

At the same moment.

Pei Sheng in the department office was watching them leave one after the other, eyes sharp and intent.

Xu Shuo arrived at his own office.

Los entered and thoughtfully closed the door behind him.

He silently disrupted the room’s surveillance devices.

“I’ve always been very curious. You seem to have quite a hang-up about Themis and the Tower of Judgment. Does this mean that even the Authority Holders in Script Space aren’t on the same page?” Xu Shuo looked at him as he spoke.

But Los was somewhat surprised.

He had assumed Xu Shuo was going to ask about using the “Frontline” powers.

Yet he didn’t expect it to be this question instead.

It took him a moment to respond.

Pushing his glasses, Los replied, “It’s just… just like your studio, I guess. Different departments handle different tasks, collaborating in division… The Finance Department has always disliked our new projects department…”

Hearing this analogy, Xu Shuo raised his eyebrow slightly.

But the Finance Department’s dislike of the new projects department.

Was because the new projects were genuinely money-burning.

So, reversing the logic, could it mean that the Sixth Palace was genuinely troublemaking and therefore at odds with the Tower of Judgment, which maintained Script Space order?

Although judging from Themis’ reaction.

It seemed more like Los had a problem with Themis.

When Themis first arrived, they even spoke kind words to Los—though they couldn’t resist tattling later on, of course.

But overall, the Sixth Palace seemed more hostile.

The reason Xu Shuo cared about this.

Was that the Sixth Palace was targeting him now, and his relationship with them was ambiguous. As for how the Tower of Judgment viewed his identity, he wasn’t sure whether they’d lump him together with the Sixth Palace.

Although the explanation Los gave.

Was that he often broke the Subspaces managed by the Sixth Palace and used his traits in Script Worlds to attract the Abyss and deal with it, which led them to pay extra attention to him.

But based on Los’ recent behavior.

Xu Shuo felt that was likely just a surface-level excuse.

The real reason likely involved other motives.

However, this motive was evidently not something easily asked. Plus, Los had already agreed to explain more when he reached the fourth level.

So Xu Shuo wasn’t in a rush to force the issue now.

What he wanted at this moment.

Was an attitude.

“I’ve already agreed to connect Luo Kai with Judgement, so Themis’ attitude is very important to me. But clearly, your relationship with them doesn’t seem great.” Xu Shuo tapped his finger lightly on the desk.

“About that… you don’t have to worry about me. Our relationship isn’t actually that tense…” Los said quietly, lowering his head.

“If you say so, then I’ll stop worrying.”

“…”

“What do you think about the people from the Tower of Judgment?”
