"I've been infected..."

When drowsiness came over her just now, her first thought was to sleep, and she had no other thoughts. Later... she seemed to have really fallen asleep, but she clearly remembered that she fell asleep in Wen Zuo's arms. Where was she now?

She frowned and carefully took out a few lighting prop cards and threw them out. Out of the corner of her eye, something seemed to flash by. Mo Shuwan's expression hardened, and she suddenly took out her silver bow. However, before she could figure out how to check, another person suddenly appeared beside her.

She is Luo Baokun's teammate, Qu Dan.

Although she recognized the person, Mo Shuwan didn't immediately wake him up, just in case there was an imposter. Instead, she checked his arm first, and after seeing the wound, she thought for a moment and then tied him up before reaching out to wake him up.

Qu Dan woke up groggily and was still a little confused when he saw Mo Shuwan squatting in front of him. "You're not..." He stopped abruptly, looked down at the rope binding him, and fell silent, pursing his lips.

He was mistaking the Mo Shuwan in front of him for a fake.

"Do you remember how we got here?"

Qu Dan frowned at Mo Shuwan, not answering the question. He turned to look around and noticed several lighting prop cards lying on the ground. He couldn't help but turn back to Mo Shuwan again, "Are you really?"

“Of course I’m real. The problem now is, I don’t know if you’re real.” After saying that, Mo Shuwan said, “You need to tell me how you got here so I can judge whether you’re real or not. Otherwise, I’m afraid I can’t untie your rope.”

Although you've left the game world full of traps, there's no guarantee you won't encounter the same tricks in this world. Better safe than sorry.

Qu Dan was silent for a moment before saying, "We found it strange that you suddenly fell asleep. While we were discussing why you fell asleep, I had the same reaction as you. I fell asleep without any resistance or suspicion, and when I woke up, I was here."

As Qu Dan spoke, Mo Shuwan kept looking into his eyes. Feeling that he wasn't lying, she frowned and untied the rope binding her hands. "My situation is similar."

Where are we now?

Mo Shuwan shook her head. "I was just about to check the surroundings when you arrived." She paused, then suddenly thought of the contract she had signed with Zheng Shanhe. The power of the contract prevented them from attacking Zheng Shanhe, as well as the other two teams. What would happen if Qu Dan were harmed now?

Once the thought popped into her mind, she couldn't shake it off. Mo Shuwan squinted at Qu Dan, who had already stood up, and suddenly said, "I have a way that should allow us to quickly identify each other."

"What method?"

"Stretch out your hand."

Qu Dan hesitated for a moment before extending his hand, and then rolled up his sleeves at Mo Shuwan's instruction. He heard Mo Shuwan say, "After we sign the contract, we can't attack each other. Now I will cut the back of your hand. If I have a problem, you should be the real one. Of course, if you don't believe me, you can cut the back of my hand instead."

"No need, you can begin."

Qu Dan's straightforwardness made Mo Shuwan raise an eyebrow. Without further hesitation, she directly used the dagger to slash across the back of Qu Dan's hand. As soon as the blade touched the skin, she felt a sharp pain on the back of her own hand. When she looked down, she found that the wound that should have been on Qu Dan's hand was now on the back of her own hand.

Qu Dan looked at Mo Shuwan's hand with some surprise, "How could this be?"

"There are no other adverse reactions, it just shows the wound on its body... It's not bad." Mo Shuwan put away the dagger with relief, no longer having to rack her brains to guess whether the people around her were real or fake, which made her feel relaxed. "There's a problem here. When I threw out the lighting prop card just now, I saw something flash by. Be careful."

"Understood, thank you."

The two were not very familiar with each other, and after exchanging information, they did not speak again. They both focused their attention on the strange place full of pale blue icicles. They did not dare to walk around casually, for fear of touching some trap.

Strictly speaking, the pale blue icicles around her weren't anything special, but for some reason, Mo Shuwan felt uneasy. She frowned and stood in front of the icicle closest to her, silently examining it for a long time but couldn't see anything strange about it.

"Someone's here."

The girl who came in this time was Zou Zhiqing's teammate. She was a very quiet girl and rarely spoke unless necessary. When she appeared, Qu Dan had already walked over with a knife. He made a cut on the back of the girl's hand and only woke her up when he saw the wound on his own hand.

After the girl came in, Mo Shuwan temporarily gave up observing the ice pillar and waited for the others to come in. After two more people came in, they waited for a full half hour but no one else came. Apart from Mo Shuwan, the other four people were from two different teams and at least had familiar teammates by their side.

Mo Shuwan, all alone, smiled and said in a low voice, "It seems that only a few of us were sent here. Cell phones are not working here, which means we can't contact our other teammates. So we have two options: either find a way back here or go and check the surrounding area."

"Let's find a way back here."

"I think we should go and check the surrounding area first. Now that we're here, we should at least figure out why, otherwise we'll fall for it again next time."
