Zhang Kui snorted and laughed arrogantly: "Idiots are idiots. One of those three people is Bai Liu. This guy's panel attributes are very poor. His movement speed is not as fast as you under my control. He can't search the carriage faster than you."

"Mu Sicheng's movement speed is fast, but his intelligence is not as high as Bai Liu's. He can't compare to me who has both intelligence and puppet players like you when it comes to finding things. Unless these two people join forces, I will definitely be the fastest player in searching carriages."

"But these two will definitely not cooperate." Zhang Kui's smile turned malicious, and he casually kicked one of the three puppets in front of him. The puppet fell down in response to the kick, lowered its head, and knelt in front of Zhang Kui with a clang.

Zhang Kui nonchalantly stepped on the back of the kneeling puppet, lowered his head, approached the puppet and said with a smile, "Hey, Mu Sicheng's former good friend, Liu Huai, you said so, right?"

The puppet player named Liu Huai said nothing, but his limbs were trembling slightly.

"I brought you here specially when I knew that Mu Sicheng was in this game." Zhang Kui laughed, "Mu Sicheng didn't expect that you would become my puppet player, did he?"

"At first, he almost became my puppet because of your betrayal, but in the end, Mu Sicheng was able to remain calm even when his stamina dropped to 18. He killed four of my puppets with his rage and escaped. So many of my puppet players died, so I had to use you as a scapegoat."

"But being my puppet is a good treat, I'm sure you're happy too. If you see Mu Sicheng later, remember to behave well and confuse his mind, understand? If you let him run away again, you won't be waiting for such a good job as being my puppet."

As Zhang Kui spoke, he patted Liu Huai's face with his hand. Cold sweat kept dripping from Liu Huan's puppet face, and he dared not say a word.

Zhang Kui seemed to find it boring as well and quickly withdrew his hand: "Mu Sicheng will never cooperate with anyone, let alone someone like Bai Liu who is obviously scheming. Even if Bai Liu wants to cooperate with him, Mu Sicheng will certainly pretend to obey him but secretly disobey him. These two people can't search the carriage faster than me, whether alone or in cooperation. We should be the players who progress the fastest in finding things in the game, but we still haven't found it. There are only two possibilities-"

He raised two fingers and explained: "The first possibility is that the broken mirror fragments that this crappy game says to collect are not in the train at all."

"There is another possibility..." Zhang Kui narrowed his eyes meaningfully, "There are seven players in this game. Mu Sicheng, Bai Liu, the three of you and I take up six spots. There is only one spot left. If the last player to enter is able to find all the mirror fragments before us, then it is possible."

Although Li Gou was terrified, he still looked up and asked in confusion: "But Master, we have already searched half of the car, and we are all at full speed, but we still don't see any broken lenses. It's impossible that all the lenses are in the other half of the car and were just quickly collected by the last player who came in, right?"

"How is it impossible?" Zhang Kui gritted his teeth when he mentioned this person's name. "If the person who comes in last is Du Sanying, then it's possible that all the broken mirror fragments are piled in front of him waiting for him to pick up!"

——————

Bai Liu glanced at Du Sanying behind him with his peripheral vision. Du Sanying checked the seats in the carriage one by one with a bit of annoyance. He did not find any broken lenses, but he had already walked through two carriages with Bai Liu and the others.

"This shouldn't be the case..." Du Sanying muttered to himself. He really felt it was very strange. "How come we didn't find any broken mirror fragments?"

He had always been successful in this kind of collecting missions before, but this time he came up empty-handed after searching for so long.

Du Sanying pushed his glasses, clicked on the game manager to check that his luck value was still 100%, and fell into deep confusion.

...How could that be? Finding things with a 100% luck value is always great...

Moreover, Du Sanying had a strong premonition that he would be able to successfully pass the level by following Bai Liu. Although this would be accompanied by a creepy and uncomfortable feeling, Du Sanying never doubted his intuition. His intuition told him that he would be able to successfully pass the level by following Bai Liu, and so he would definitely be able to do so.

Bai Liu looked away after seeing Du Sanying checking the luck value on the panel. He turned around and said to Mu Sicheng very firmly, "There are no broken mirror fragments in the carriage."

Mu Sicheng had given up trying to figure out Bai Liu's reasoning process on his own. He asked directly, "Why?"

"If there were broken lenses in the train, it's impossible that Du Sanying, who has 100% luck, would not have noticed them all along," said Bai Liu.

Mu Sicheng raised his eyebrows: "Have you forgotten that there is a puppeteer in this game? Although Du Sanying is really good at finding things, there are four people on the puppeteer's side. The puppeteers move very quickly under his control. It is very likely that he will find the broken mirror fragments in these carriages before us."

"Unlikely." Bai Liu shook his head. "First, you said that Du Sanying's luck value is an advantage in this kind of game. Second, if the puppeteer has found the broken mirror and determined the key to pass the game, he would most likely attack us by now. We have walked through so many carriages without encountering them. I think they are deliberately avoiding us to avoid conflict. This doesn't seem like they have found it."

Mu Sicheng crossed his arms and looked away, laughing sarcastically: "You smart people can understand each other. You all like to play this game."

"I don't like his way of doing things." Bai Liu understood Mu Sicheng's sarcasm and clarified for himself lightly, "If I need someone to cooperate with me, I will make him cooperate with me willingly."

"Just like the cooperation between you and me, right?" Mu Sicheng gave a fake smile. "Bai Liu, this verbal agreement between you and me is not very solid without any basis."

"It's a monetary transaction." Bai Liu emphasized, and he smiled slightly, "You gave me one point, Mu Sicheng."

Mu Sicheng laughed mockingly and didn't bother Bai Liu about this matter any more. "If there are no broken mirrors on the train as you said, where are they? Outside the train? In the subway station? Should we wait until we get off the train and look for them in the subway station?"

Bai Liu stroked his chin and thought for a while: "Actually, I think the possibility of the broken mirror being in the subway station is also very small."

"Not on the train, not outside the train, the map is only this big." Mu Sicheng spread his hands, "Then where else do you think it could be?"

Bai Liu did not answer because the train had arrived at the station. The female announcer's voice interrupted Bai Liu's slightly opened lips as she heard the train arrive at the station: "The train has arrived at [Mirror City Museum]. Passengers who need to get off at this station, please get off in an orderly manner. Passengers who need to get on at this station, please get on in an orderly manner..."

The door of the train slowly opened. Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying saw what was outside the train and their faces changed instantly. Bai Liu, on the other hand, had expected this and maintained a calm expression.

On the platform outside the train door were various charred corpses. Some of these corpses had their eyeballs burnt off, while others had their limbs shrunken and their teeth exposed.

The weird thing is that these corpses all maintain the appearance of normal people. One of the corpses is looking down at his watch, even though the watch on his wrist has been burned so badly that no traces can be seen.

These charred passengers were densely packed in the subway station. As the door opened, they all raised their heads and looked at Bai Liu and his companions in the car with their dark eyes. Du Sanying couldn't help but swallow his saliva and leaned back against the window.

The subway station was in a mess, with blackened charcoal marks everywhere from the raging fire. The smell of burnt human flesh was so strong that it made one's throat itch.

Du Sanying leaned weakly behind Bai Liu and asked in a low voice: "Bai, Bai Liu, do you think this will also be a cutscene? Will they, will they attack people?"

"I probably won't design two similar cutscenes in the opening of a game," Bai Liu said. "It's too boring and a waste of time."

Du Sanying became increasingly weak, his hair stood on end, and the premonition of danger made him want to escape all the time.

But once he left Bai Liu, the misfortune that he might die would haunt Du Sanying again. Du Sanying felt that he couldn't stay or leave, so he could only ask with tears in his eyes, "Bai Liu, what would you plan?"

"If it were me..." Bai Liu quickly searched for props in his system interface while speaking. After finding the props he wanted, Bai Liu continued, "I would probably design a very dangerous train chase to add excitement to the opening of the game."

Mu Sicheng understood what Bai Liu meant. He looked at the charred corpse outside the car door and snorted darkly.

This is going to be a chase.
