Live Escape: Chased by a Neurotic Boss, Crying for Affection

Jiang Liyue, on the day she became a shadow queen, was pulled into an infinite-loop novel and turned into the fake heiress who starved to death because she refused to enter the game. Good news: she...

Chapter 170 How Do I Look?

How can I remove the neck ring?

Jiang Liyue glanced at Xie Shiyuan's face; he had fastened her collar himself.

However, players shouldn't need to find him to remove the neck ring, otherwise this dungeon wouldn't be very interesting.

There's no need to live anymore, everyone just needs to wait to die.

She guessed that there must be inmates in the cell who were skilled in mechanics, or that she could steal the key to remove the neck brace from the prison guards' office.

Jiang Liyue quickly analyzed the solution.

However, she did not intend to leave Prison No. 01 on her own initiative.

So she only analyzed it in her mind and continued to look for clues in the warehouse without taking any action.

She had only taken two steps when she met two pairs of eyes that were looking at her warily.

When those two pairs of eyes met hers, they lit up with surprise: "It's you, Boss!"

That's right, the two are Zhu Jie and Lin Jing.

Jiang Liyue didn't expect to see the two of them here, especially since they looked disheveled, huddled together in a corner, and looked extremely embarrassed.

If Jiang Liyue hadn't been wandering around the warehouse, we might not have seen the two of them.

She raised an eyebrow curiously: "What are you doing here?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Jie has a lot of grievances to share.

Even though what happened yesterday afternoon lowered other players' trust in Jiang Lingxue, she still has healing skills.

Therefore, many players still flock to Jiang Lingxue to curry favor with her.

Because they offended Jiang Lingxue, Zhu Jie and Lin Jing naturally became targets.

The dungeon is already fraught with danger, not to mention the added threat of being deliberately targeted by other players.

"This morning in the cafeteria, someone deliberately led us into a group of prisoners." Zhu Jie's eyes filled with anger as she recalled the incident.

She still remembers how scary it was; she almost got beaten up!

Zhu Jie was already angry, but what was even more outrageous was that they were taken advantage of and pushed into those tightly closed cells in Section B.

"Boss, you don't know, those cells aren't filled with people, they're filled with monsters! They're not like ordinary prisoners who just beat us up, they really eat people."

Jiang Liyue recalled the prying eyes she felt from the cells as she walked through the dark corridor of Area B when she first entered the instance.

The inside is full of strange things, which explains it.

Actually, there are also strange prisoners in Zone B, but those prisoners have never been released.

"Luckily, that person didn't expect my initial skill to be teleportation. I ran away with Lin Jing, and he himself was eaten by the monster." Zhu Jie said this with a sense of satisfaction.

She was completely unaware that she had already told Jiang Liyue about her skills.

Lin Jing stood by helplessly, but ultimately didn't offer any advice.

After all, judging from Jiang Liyue's strength as she observed it, if she wanted to kill the two of them, she could just tear them apart with her bare hands.

There's absolutely no need for any schemes or tricks.

Zhu Jie then recounted their experiences.

Jiang Liyue quickly realized why the two of them were there; they had actually been teleported there by Zhu Jie's teleportation skill.

"Boss, you have no idea how terrible my skill is. It can't select a teleportation location; it teleports randomly instead," Zhu Jie complained.

Lin Jing: ...Now it's all over. Not only have the initial skills been exposed, but the flaws of the skills have also been revealed.

What an idiot.

“So I usually don’t dare to use skills recklessly. What if they teleport me into a pile of monsters? Wouldn’t I be committing suicide?” Zhu Jie said, patting her chest as if she had breathed a sigh of relief. “Luckily, I was teleported here.”

That's why the two of them missed today's work and instead overheard the conversation between two prison guards in the warehouse.

I was planning to wait until the prison guards left before coming out, but I heard footsteps again not long after.

The two cautiously hid in a corner, and then they ran into Jiang Liyue.

After recounting her harrowing morning, Zhu Jie finally realized, "Boss, what are you doing here?"

"We're here to look for clues," Jiang Liyue said honestly. "You can also take a look inside. This should contain the skin and hair of prisoners who died in prison, which were also the raw materials you used to make the dolls yesterday."

This information could be found by simply looking through the warehouse, and Jiang Liyue didn't mind telling them.

"Hiss." Zhu Jie gasped, thinking that all the materials she had handled yesterday came from here.

No wonder there was a strange, lingering smell in the warehouse; they were surrounded by corpses.

Zhu Jie's face turned pale, and even Lin Jing's expression was not good.

"It's alright, they're just corpses, they probably won't come back to life," Jiang Liyue comforted her.

Yi Yi, perched on her shoulder, chimed in, "They're all smelly things, none of them are as cute as Yi Yi~"

Zhu Jie and Lin Jing: ...You're good at comforting people.

However, the two then noticed Jiang Liyue's attire; the delicate dress and sparkling jewelry were merely accessories on her.

If Jiang Liyue was on vacation, then the two of them were probably fleeing a disaster.

However, the two only sighed inwardly at the differences between people, without any jealousy. Instead, they took the initiative to bring up the conversation with the prison guard earlier, as if asking for advice: "Boss, do you think we can go out with the car?"

“It is possible, but have you forgotten about the neck rings?” Jiang Liyue reminded them, and then shared her speculation with them.

Lin Jing's eyes lit up: "One of my cellmates is good at making machines. She has a lot of tools, and she'll help out as long as she has money. We just need to save up some money..."

"That's great, thank you so much for reminding me, sir." Zhu Jie was extremely touched, and then asked her enthusiastically, "Sir, would you like to come with us?"

Jiang Liyue shook her head: "No need."

If she were to try to run away, wouldn't that just provoke someone again?

Never mind.

Xie, who was being thought of by Jiang Liyue, was in a good mood as he sat in front of his office and straightened his military cap.

He glanced indifferently at his subordinates who stood respectfully to his side: "How do I look today?"

Shu Feng: Huh?

How should he answer this?
