Chapter 162 I Miss You So Much...

Jiang Lingxue noticed the expression on Huo Heng's face when he looked at Jiang Liyue, and her heart skipped a beat.

She quickly went up to him and called out, "Brother Huo."

Huo Heng then looked at her, and seeing her unusually uneasy expression, his heart softened, and his voice became gentler: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Lingxue shook her head, only pursing her lips and stubbornly looking at him: "You, do you think my sister is better? She grew up in the Jiang family, I'm just an orphan, it's normal that I can't compare to her..."

“Don’t talk about yourself like that.” Huo Heng frowned. “I only talked to her because I thought she had a lot of personality and might be a good teammate.”

It was just a passing interest; what he truly loved most was a kind and dependent girl like Ling Xue.

"That's good." Jiang Lingxue's eyes showed trust, but her heart was slightly cold.

The others around felt much more relaxed after Jiang Liyue left.

They were terrified that if they made a sound and offended her, she would break their legs.

That's such a rip-off!

Therefore, having healing skills is still a good thing, and their gazes toward Jiang Lingxue were filled with eagerness.

Although they vaguely felt that Jiang Lingxue was talking strangely after what had just happened, so what?

In dungeons, aren't we all just using each other?

Because many players shared this view, Jiang Lingxue's desired increase in favorability didn't materialize much, leaving her secretly resentful.

Even his usually calm expression showed a subtle, almost imperceptible distortion.

Meanwhile, Zhu Jie, pulling Lin Jing along, caught up with Jiang Liyue at a jog: "Boss, do you still remember me?"

"The same cell yesterday." Jiang Liyue smiled. "My memory isn't that bad."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jie scratched her head sheepishly and smiled awkwardly.

Jiang Liyue was in a hurry to get back to dinner and didn't bother with pleasantries: "Is there something you need?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to say that you were so cool just now!" Zhu Jie said with admiration. "Your kicking motion was so cool, I almost died watching it."

"Thank you," Jiang Liyue said with a smile.

Her beautiful smiling face, paired with the pale-faced, vacant-eyed doll on her shoulder, created a somewhat eerie scene.

Zhu Jie swallowed hard before continuing, "By the way, boss, I have something else to remind you. You might not know this because you haven't been to our workshop, but this doll you're wearing might be a monster. We've had players in our workshop get eaten by similar dolls, so..."

"Yi Yi will never eat her master!" Yi Yi glared at Zhu Jie with her big, dark eyes.

Startled by the sudden child's voice and malicious gaze, Zhu Jie took a large step back: "This, this..."

Zhu Jie noticed the doll on Jiang Liyue's shoulder when Jiang Liyue appeared.

Because the doll remained motionless, she assumed that Jiang Liyue didn't understand what the doll was and was just using it as a decoration on her shoulder.

Who knew this doll would call Jiang Liyue "Master"?!

"Thanks for reminding me." Jiang Liyue's eyes crinkled into a smile. "But she's my toy, and she's very obedient."

Upon hearing this, Yi Yi proudly raised her chin.

Hehehe, the owner praised Yi Yi for being very well-behaved.

Indeed, my master is the most beautiful and kindest master in the world!

"Is there anything else?" Jiang Liyue asked, looking at the two stunned people.

Zhu Jie shook her head: "It's alright, boss."

Jiang Liyue smiled and nodded at them, then turned and left.

Zhu Jie stared intently at her retreating figure, exclaiming in shock, "Is this the difference between the big boss and us? We're being chased to the brink of death by the monsters, while the big boss has picked her up as a pet?"

"Otherwise, why would he be a big shot?" Lin Jing sighed, her eyes filled with envy.

However, the gap in strength cannot be bridged immediately, so they can only be envious.

Having absolute power in a dungeon is such a wonderful thing.

Waaaaah, why aren't they the big shots? TT

Jiang Liyue was really hungry.

Especially since he wasted some time there with the male and female protagonists, and incidentally broke a few of his legs.

All she can think about now is roasted chicken legs, fried chicken legs... crunchy and delicious!

Fortunately, after returning to Area A, before she could even find the canteen, a prison guard brought her a meal.

She glanced at them; they were all her favorite dishes, but they didn't seem to be made by anyone.

What a jerk! He's already in her bed and he doesn't even know to prepare food for her. Points deducted!

After taking a bite of a rib.

...Well, the taste was still pretty good. At least that jerk remembered what she liked to eat, so I'll leave the points for now.

After lunch, Jiang Liyue decided to go out to look for clues again. She went to Area B as usual, and the female ghost fan opened the door for her when she saw her.

She wasn't afraid of running into the male and female leads anyway; at worst, she'd just break a few more legs.

It's just a little troublesome.

Fortunately, Jiang Liyue was lucky this time and did not encounter anyone else. She then wandered around the workshop area.

With Yi Yi's help, they finally found the warehouse where the raw materials were stored.

After crawling through the ventilation ducts into the warehouse, the scene inside was somewhat disgusting.

The so-called raw materials are all skeletons and human skin that have been skinned and deboned and put into freezers.

In addition to these, there are things like hair.

No wonder the temperature inside the warehouse is so low.

As for human flesh, it has naturally become food for the prisoners in Area A.

Their hair, skin, and skeleton became materials for making toys and clothes.

[It's even genuine leather! I want one too, can you sell it to me?]

Give me a dozen lifelike dolls!

Hehe, I just bought a genuine leather coat a couple of days ago. It smells amazing, and even ordinary food tastes better when I wear it.

I'm so jealous, I didn't manage to get one!

First of all, I'm a penniless wretch...

While searching through these materials, Jiang Liyue surprisingly found the prisoner she had injured when she first entered the dungeon, as well as Tuk's skin.

Are they all dead?

It wasn't too surprising, since Prison No. 01 didn't seem like they would treat them properly.

Jiang Liyue continued searching in the warehouse, but still couldn't find the part that belonged to Noyi.

The warehouse was huge, and by the time she finished searching, it was already quite late.

Xie Shiyuan had said that they had to be back in Area A before six o'clock. Seeing that it was almost time, she took Yi Yi back to her cell in Area A.

Okay, the cell door was closed, and she was back in jail.

She didn't feel Xie Shiyuan's familiar, burning gaze all afternoon.

What did he go to do?

Jiang Liyue rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought, when she suddenly felt a familiar sensation.

She curled the corners of her lips into a smile and looked towards the door: "Warden."

Xie Shiyuan, reeking of blood, stood in front of Jiang Liyue's cell door.

Separated by a door, his dark gaze seemed to pierce through her.

Yueyue, I miss you so much...
