Chapter 782 JAMES PAYTON



Chapter 782 JAMES PAYTON

THE train car they were in was suddenly filled with bright light. It was so blinding that Luo Yan was forced to close his eyes. He felt his hand gripped tightly and knew that it was Shen Ji Yun. He was about to pinch his hand back when he felt the other’s touch suddenly disappeared.

Luo Yan felt a bit panicked. He knew Shen Ji Yun wouldn’t voluntarily release his hand in this kind of situation. Unless he was forced to do so. Luo Yan stretched out his hand to where Shen Ji Yun was supposed to be sitting and there was nothing there but empty air.

As he expected, the other truly disappeared. This could only mean one thing. That they would all be most likely separated in this dungeon raid. Damn, what a pain. This would just make things much harder.

Then, he felt the brightness slowly subsiding. When he felt like he could open his eyes, he did. He was a bit startled when he saw the interior of the train car changing. Pixels were appearing as the interior changed from the front to the back. Truly, like a scene from a game.

Once the change was done, the design of the interior had now become more antique. The car also turned to a dining cart. But not only that, there were ‘people’ in it – talking and eating, wearing clothes that could be seen in the 1920s or 1930s.

Luo Yan knew these people were NPCs. Probably the type that was only given a certain role. Unlike NPCs like Eclipse and Dusk that could move freely on their own and had independent thinking.

He quickly glanced around, looking for his team mates. But just as expected, they were all not here. He wasn’t sure if they would be in the other train cars. To make certain of that, he stood up and was about to walk to another train car when a virtual screen suddenly appeared in front of him.

The appearance of this screen forced Luo Yan to sit back on his seat. Reading what’s written on it made Luo Yan’s expression darker and darker.

[To our dear passenger in Fantasia Train, please take note of the following rules.

1. In this world that you traveled, you will be given a specific role. You must act out this role to perfection.

2. If someone managed to find out who you are, may it be an indigenous person of this world or your team mate, you will be immediately punished. The punishment, instant death.

3. Your team will be given a task and is expected to solve it within the given time frame. Do take note that a day in this world is an hour in Arcadia. If you didn’t manage to solve it within that given time, this will be considered as a fail.

4. Avoid being killed at all cost. Your team mates won’t be notified of your death and you will still stay in this world as a soul, spectating everything. You can only leave once all of you are dead or your team mates fulfilled the task given to your team.

5. And lastly, all your skills and stats will be negligible in this world, as well as items from your Items Tab. But you can use the all the talents of the role you are playing.

Good luck, dear passenger. We hope to see you again at the Thousand World Terminal!]

Before Luo Yan could fully register everything he had read. A notification suddenly appeared in front of him.

[The memory of the indigenous person you’re occupying will be shown to you in 3...2...1...]

Then a series of images flashed in his mind, almost like a movie being fast forward at 2x the speed. It probably didn’t even last five minutes but he felt like he just witnessed the life of this NPC he’s possessing and now knew everything there was to know about him.

After it was over, Luo Yan had to take deep breaths just so he could process everything properly. He closed his eyes and tried his best to remember everything about the NPC he would now play.

His name was James Payton – 28-years-old and a famous detective living in London. He was the third son of a ducal house. He probably could live his life in comfort with the generous allowance given to him by his father, but he chose to make a living instead by being a detective. And he made quite a name for himself.

Because of his upbringing, he was a stickler for etiquette and manners which was probably fueled by his mild OCD. He’s a great fencer and was also very good with the gun. With his dashing looks and impeccable manner, he was given the moniker, ‘Gentleman Detective’.

Right now, he was travelling by train to Andover because of a letter he received. James Payton was a very curious man. It’s because of this curiosity that he thrived in his chosen profession. The letter only said that a very interesting case was waiting for him at Magnolia Manor. So, he must go there at once.

He was feeling a bit bored these days. So, he decided to take up the sender of the letter to their offer. And thus, here he was.

Luo Yan opened his eyes. That was all the important details that he needed to remember for this role. A very curious gentleman with a mild case of OCD who’s also good at fencing and shooting. That’s basically the bulk of this NPC’s personality.

He turned to the window to see his reflection. It was vague but he could at least tell that he had blond hair that was perfectly swept back and a pair of blue eyes. He was also wearing a black suit. And even though he was sitting, he could still tell that he was quite tall.

James Payton, huh? Well, at least he didn’t need to play a woman’s role in this world just like he did in that instance during the king of Arcadia’s birthday.

He closed his eyes once again and took a deep breath. When he opened them, the expression on his face had already changed. From here on out, he’s not Luo Yan but James Payton.
