This script is adapted from the "Detective" storyline in *Funny Manga Day and Day*, any similarity is not coincidental.

...

After chatting for a few minutes, the two decided to run a team's normal difficulty script first, as a warm-up.

Next, Xiao Tan transferred the captain's authority to Brother Jue and went to the storage room to do some pre-script preparations.

Feng Bujue also took this time to put the [Echo Armor] into the warehouse before returning to the login space.

Once they were both ready, Brother Jue clicked on the touch screen and joined the queue.

[Feng Bujue, Level 49]

[Wang Tanzhi, Level 46]

[Please select the game mode your team wishes to join.]

[You have selected Team Survival Mode (Normal). Please confirm.]

[Confirmed. Random value for team size has been generated: Two players.]

[Your team has entered the queue.]

[Match complete. Coordinating neural connection, script generation in progress...]

[Loading, please wait.]

At this point in the system's voiceover, Brother Jue and Xiao Tan lost control of their bodies and entered a first-person perspective.

"Welcome to Thriller Paradise, hoo-hoo-hoo..." Two seconds later, a lewd male voice spoke the opening line, and after speaking, he giggled three times in a cutesy manner.

[Loading complete. You are currently in Team Survival Mode (Normal).]

[This mode provides a script introduction and has a chance of containing side hidden quests and a special worldview.]

[Script completion reward: Randomly draw a learnable skill card.]

[Script introduction will now play. The game will begin immediately after playback.]

"Hmm... looks like a textbook opening..." Feng Bujue muttered, "It all depends on the completion reward..."

The script had just started, and he was already thinking about what he could get after completing it. Obviously, for Brother Jue these days, a normal difficulty team script... was basically stress-free.

[Demons dwell in the courtyard.]

[The companions you can rely on all look like they're about to die.]

"Hey... what's going on..." Before the opening CG even appeared, two lines of lyrics sung in Japanese rang in his ears, and the melody and content of the song were strangely familiar, which made Feng Bujue have a bad feeling.

[Youth is dedicated to volleyball.]

[But!]

[Everyone looks like they're about to die!]

"I think I know what this song is..." Feng Bujue thought, "These painful and disturbing lyrics and music... isn't this the first season's OP of *Nichijou* (Nichijou is a manga by Keiichi Arawi that began serialization in the magazine Monthly Shōnen Ace in 2006, known for its absurdist humor and fast-paced storytelling)..."

[You and I...]

[Are not friends.]

[My friend is friends with you.]

[That's basically it~]

[So don't get carried away!]

"Did they even change the last line..." Brother Jue mumbled, "Well... of course, that's not the point, the point is... what the hell is this kind of opening..."

Before he could recover from the song just now, the opening CG officially started playing.

And this CG's art style... reminded him of another script (or rather, sandbox) he had completed before.

"Compared to *South Park*... this is grotesque in another sense..." Feng Bujue looked at the downright distorted art style in front of him and coldly retorted, "Compared to the original version of *One-Punch Man*... it's neck and neck..."

[A famous detective?] A headless and tail-less question kicked off the introduction.

[Hi~] The next second, a pink, anthropomorphic (with hands and feet, wearing clothes, but the palms and head still retained animal characteristics) rabbit appeared on the screen. She was wearing a green sleeveless top, a dark pink skirt, and yellow shoes, standing on a light green lawn and waving at the camera. Behind her was a backdrop like a child's drawing—houses, trees, and mountains that were obviously out of proportion to the characters... and a picture-like blue sky and white clouds.

[Rabbit Beauty-chan (the "chan" here is a nickname pronunciation added after a female name in Japanese, when addressing a man, "kun[ku]" or "san" is generally used. This script may be used multiple times, so it is noted here) of Class 1, Fourth Grade of Animal Elementary School, is a well-known detective. Once an incident occurs, she uses her proud reasoning skills to show off her skills. Whenever she encounters criminal behavior... she will report it to the police, regardless of whether it is true or false, close or distant, she is a cold-hearted guy.]

"It's here... it really came..." Feng Bujue's soul of retorting instantly awakened, "When I heard the theme song, I was wondering what kind of setting it would be... it turned out to be Animal Elementary School... I can already foresee how painful this script will be, maybe it's the legendary 'ball-busting' level..."

Putting aside what the hell 'ball-busting level' is in Feng Bujue's mouth, the narration continued.

[Today is the first day of the new semester.]

[The first thing Teacher Panda announced after stepping onto the podium was that a transfer student would be transferring into Class 1, Fourth Grade.]

Along with the voiceover, the CG screen also switched to the classroom. It was a very ordinary-looking elementary school classroom, filled with anthropomorphic animals, all students like cats, dogs, pigs, and elephants, and it didn't look out of place...

"Ah... the transfer student is Penguin Helper from Antarctic Elementary School, right..." Feng Bujue mumbled while looking at the screen.

Based on his memory of that anime, Brother Jue directly said the plot.

But... he miscalculated.

[There are two transfer students this time.]

"Huh?" Feng Bujue was stunned, "Two people? Wait... could it be..."

[They are, respectively, Furuhata Ninzaburou and Imaizumi Shuntaro.]

"God..." Feng Bujue didn't believe in God, he just said the Lord's name as an exclamation.

As the narration said this, an anthropomorphic cat and an anthropomorphic falcon walked into the classroom one after the other.

["Students, these are Cat Saburo and Falcon Taro, who transferred from Beast Elementary School. Please get along well with them in the future," Teacher Panda said.]

"Why hasn't this script even started yet... I want to rage quit..." Due to too many things to complain about, Feng Bujue's balls were already starting to ache faintly (although he had not yet regained control of his body at this moment, so there was no pain at all).

["I am Cat Saburo, my specialty is reasoning, and I was called a famous detective at my previous school."]

["I am Falcon Taro, I am also a member of the Detective Club, and I am Cat Saburo's partner."]

[The two transfer students gave very energetic self-introductions, and all the students in the class cast curious glances at them.]

[However, at this moment, in the last row of the classroom, a sharp gaze had locked onto them, and the owner of that gaze was Rabbit Beauty.]

["He... they said detectives! This is bad! Rabbit Beauty-chan!" Bear Kichi, who was sitting in the seat to the right of Rabbit Beauty, widened his eyes and said in a low voice to Rabbit Beauty, "Rivals have appeared! And this time there are two of them! This is even worse than when Penguin Helper transferred here!"]

"I'll go... are you still in school..." When the camera moved to Bear Kichi, Feng Bujue was shocked, "Are the laws in your universe a little too lax... I'm impressed that you can get out after being arrested so many times..."

(Note: In the related stories of the "Detective Rabbit Beauty Arc", the culprits of all the incidents are Bear Kichi. Bear Kichi's criminal behavior is extremely obvious, and he almost always confesses without being beaten each time. The ending of each story is basically Bear Kichi being arrested.)

["How interesting," Rabbit Beauty smiled, "I really want to see their reasoning ability."]

At this point in the voiceover, the opening CG stopped, and Feng Bujue and Wang Tanzhi regained their ability to move in an instant. However, the game characters they controlled were not [Feng Bujue] and [Wang Tanzhi], but "Cat Saburo" and "Falcon Taro".

[Main quest triggered.]

This time the main quest came decisively, and it refreshed as soon as the opening finished. Brother Jue immediately opened the quest bar and took a look, and then... he was completely shocked.

[Complete this script in thirty-three chapters.]

"What... the... f*ck?" These words were Feng Bujue's first reaction from the bottom of his heart.

And at this time, the system voice actually sounded in his and Xiao Tan's ears again:

[The pressure of full attendance, the exhaustion of drafts.

The turning point of life, the distortion of inspiration.

On this day, the legendary detective sealed in the darkness awakens again...

He and his assistant will write a new legend.]
