Chapter 61 Getting You Is the Most Important
Zhen Jinli glared at Si Yao and was about to push him away when suddenly footsteps were heard outside.
It turned out that the group of people who had previously gone to explore the castle had come to the village.
Zhen Jinli waved Si Yao's hand away and said, "I can find a way to pass the level without your clues."
Si Yao remained noncommittal and said with his hands spread out, "Then I'll just wait and see."
Zhen Jinli turned around and thought about it, then turned to look at Si Yao unwillingly.
"Now that you've found the clue, don't you want to use it to save more people and get more points?"
Si Yao chuckled disdainfully: "What do I need so many points for? Getting Sister Xiaoli is the most important thing to me."
Zhen Jinli was almost vomiting blood because of Si Yao's words.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell Brother Su and let everyone know that you got the clue to pass the level, but you refuse to share it?"
Si Yao smiled sinisterly, then spoke slowly.
"Then just tell me. No one can prove that I know the clues to pass the level anyway."
Si Yao was right. Even if Zhen Jinli told others that Si Yao clearly had the clue to pass the level but refused to tell it, it would be useless.
As long as he insists that he has no clues at all and pretends to be innocent, it will become a Rashomon that no one can figure out.
"Si Yao, why have you become like this now?" Zhen Jinli looked at him with a sad face.
"The Si Yao I met in Gordon City was at least a good kid who cared about others and cared about their feelings."
Si Yao raised his eyes and looked at Zhen Jinli, saying word by word: "Sister Xiaoli, people always change."
As for Si Yao's current changes, Zhen Jinli could only understand that he became arrogant after having a big bug like "Siren's Song" in his hands.
If they appear in front of everyone now, each with their own opinion, it is hard to say whether everyone will eventually believe Si Yao, who has the ability to bewitch people, or Zhen Jinli, who has a high prestige among players.
Considering that Si Yao was once used as a human target in Gordon City and was the target of joint attack by other players, although Zhen Jinli can understand Si Yao's current dark and world-weary nature, she cannot agree with his change.
In fact, Zhen Jinli was not sure whether Si Yao really had the clue to pass the level. Before getting the real answer, Si Yao only had a "Schrödinger" understanding.
The two of them were in a stalemate until the end, and Zhen Jinli had to use her time ability again to move Si Yao away from the door and then leave the house.
She didn't have time to waste with Si Yao. The most urgent thing was to exchange information about the game with the group of players who had returned from the castle.
The difficulty of this platinum-level game has obviously increased a lot, so she has to be extremely alert to deal with it.
When Si Yao came to his senses, he found that Zhen Jinli had disappeared from his sight.
He turned to look at Zhen Jinli, who had already walked out of the house and was communicating with other players, and a trace of resentment flashed across his face.
Just wait, she will come back to him sooner or later.
***
After communicating with Ji Yingxue and her group, Zhen Jinli found that the current situation was not optimistic.
This world is indeed a world where magic exists. The thorns will automatically grow back after being cut off.
But they are not sure whether this is the world of "Sleeping Beauty".
At least after the male player kissed the princess, the princess did not wake up, and the NPCs in the castle and the NPCs in this country did not wake up either.
Zhen Jinli can now only place his hopes on the foggy forest. After all, the only area they have not explored yet is that forest.
I hope to find a magician like a witch in that forest who can give them some clues to pass the level.
Ji Yingxue and the others had just run over from the ancient castle and were now very tired. After deciding with Zhen Jinli and the others to explore the Misty Forest early tomorrow morning, they hurriedly found a few empty rooms in the nearby houses to rest.
When Zhen Jinli saw that the alarm clock had set, she thought about going back to wake up Su Yan to see if she could wake him up.
"Brother Su, Brother Su, wake up quickly." Zhen Jinli shook Su Yan's shoulder and said.
Su Yan was awakened from his sleep. He opened his sleepy eyes and his voice became a little deeper and hoarse.
"Xiao Li?"
It seems that I can wake up.
Zhen Jinli breathed a sigh of relief, and then told Su Yan everything about what happened when she met Ji Yingxue and the others returning from the castle.
"Let's go explore the Misty Forest together tomorrow. We should be able to find some new clues."
Zhen Jinli didn't dare tell Su Yan about Si Yao's threat to her. Firstly, it might be that Si Yao was bluffing, and secondly, as long as Si Yao himself didn't admit it, she would have no evidence.
When he lay down to rest again, Zhen Jinli sighed silently and thought to himself, I hope I can really find some useful clues tomorrow.
"Xiao Li." Su Yan called her softly.
Zhen Jinli withdrew his thoughts, turned to look at Su Yan and asked, "What's wrong?"
Su Yan raised his hand to help her tidy up her hair and said, "Is there something on your mind?"
"Oh," Zhen Jinli relaxed his solemn expression and put on a relaxed look.
"I'm just a little worried about tomorrow's trip. After all, there may be unknown dangers in the forest."
Si Yao once asked other players to take pictures of the foggy forest, and she always felt a little concerned about it.
Su Yan patted her head and said in a soothing tone: "Don't think too much. With your luck, we will definitely be able to turn danger into safety this time."
After being reminded by Su Yan, Zhen Jinli remembered that she was the one who had the Goddess of Luck card, and she would be fine tomorrow.
"Yeah." Zhen Jinli nodded, closed her eyes and fell into a dream.
Zhen Jinli slept very uneasily this time. In her dream, there seemed to be some monster whose shape could not be seen attacking her. She was so scared that she screamed and woke up from her sleep.
There was a loud noise outside. It was already past five in the morning, and Su Yan beside him was gone.
Zhen Jinli touched the bedding beside her and found it was still warm. It seemed that Brother Su had just left not long ago.
She put on her coat and went out of the house to find a large group of players gathered together, seemingly trying to wake up a few of them.
"Jiuyi, wake up!" Su Yan anxiously slapped the silent face and called out urgently.
"Wake up! Jiuyi!"
Zhen Jinli's heart suddenly sank, she quickly walked to Su Yan and the unconscious Shen Ji, and asked anxiously.
"What's going on? Why can't Jiuyi be woken up?"
A male player nearby explained, "When I got up to go to the bathroom this morning, I happened to see through the window that a few players on night watch were shrouded in a thick fog."
"I noticed something was amiss, so I used my wind ability to disperse the dense fog. Then I realized they were all unconscious, like NPCs, and couldn't be woken."
