Su Mu smiled slightly, ignoring Su Qing's shyness. He put the mithril medal into his pocket and said gently to everyone, "Everyone, see you at the finish line."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked towards the passage step by step, leaning on his snake-patterned wooden cane, like an elegant gentleman. Under the gaze of everyone, his tall and slender figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Watching him leave, everyone had a feeling as if they were in a dream. It was clearly a fierce life-and-death contest just now, but with the arrival of Su Mu, the situation on the field changed again and again, and finally ended with one person's death.
Although he was on the screen for less than ten minutes, he left an indelible impression on everyone.
Everyone was silent for a long time, then slowly dispersed to look for the next mithril medal.
They had no intention of robbing a mysterious and powerful person like Su Mu.
Su Qing also left, cursing as she left.
"What a self-righteous man! Hateful! Hateful! He's acting on his own before I even agree to join!"
In the darkness, Su Mu walked silently. He planned to get away from Su Qing, then find an empty corner to enter a sleepwalking state and pass the level directly.
His goal had been achieved, so there was no need to waste time in the cave.
Because he was not sure whether the Red King's clone had mastered some means of detection, he had to stay away from the opponent for the sake of caution.
After crossing several forks in the road, Su Mu stopped. There was no one around, but he could feel a vague prying gaze.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and then he changed direction, taking one fork in the road after another. The intricate terrain in the cave could almost throw off most of the pursuit, but even so, he could still feel that vague sense of being watched, and it was getting closer and closer.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from behind him, breaking the silence.
Su Mu turned his head and heard a surprised voice in the darkness.
"Mr. Su! Great! I didn't expect to meet you here. What a coincidence."
Lan He's figure slowly walked out of the darkness. He looked a little disheveled at this moment, with blood staining his body, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle. The only thing that remained unchanged was the shy smile on his face. When Lan He smiled, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he looked honest and adorable.
"Yes, what a coincidence." Su Mu smiled gently, as if he had met an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Is it just you? What about the others?"
"When we were attacked by ghosts just now, everyone fled in all directions. I also got separated from the others in the panic. Thank God I met you, Mr. Su, here. Otherwise, I really don’t know how I would get out of the cave by myself." Lan He said with lingering fear.
"By the way, Mr. Su, have you found the Mithril Plate?"
“Found it.”
Lan He said in surprise: "That's great, Mr. Su, congratulations, as long as you find the exit again, you can pass the customs smoothly."
At this point, he paused, his expression becoming gloomy: "Unlike me, I was only concerned with escaping along the way, and I didn't even see what the Mithril Plate looked like."
"You want it? I'll give it to you." Su Mu flipped his palm, and a small and exquisite mithril plate engraved with mysterious runes appeared in his hand.
Lan He looked at the mithril medal, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hid it. He smiled and said, "Mr. Su, don't joke with me. Besides, this is the mithril medal you got with great difficulty. How can I..."
Before he could finish his words, he was stunned because Su Mu had thrown the mithril plate in his hand to him. He reached out to catch it in a daze, somewhat incredulous.
"Mr. Su...Mr. Su, what are you doing..."
Su Mu raised a mysterious smile and said in an inexplicable tone: "You went to great lengths to track me, isn't it just for this?"
Lan He's expression changed. "Mr. Su, what are you talking about? I...tracked you?"
"Oh? Do you want to continue acting? Then give me the Mithril Plate."
As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Lan He's face slowly disappeared, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his whole temperament instantly became gloomy, as if he had become a different person.
"Mr. Su has good eyesight and is very tactful. Since you have already handed over the mithril medal, I don't have to spend any more effort. As long as you lead me out of the cave, I will let you go. I can even invite you to join my team."
"You look much better now. At least it's better than your fake smile." Su Mu commented calmly.
"Stop talking nonsense and lead the way."
"I'm curious, why do you think I know the exit?"
Lan He smiled grimly: "I am very good at judging people and never make mistakes. You are the calmest among all the nightmare apostles who entered together. You didn't hesitate at all when faced with the fork in the road. You said you didn't know the exit, but I don't believe it."
Su Mu was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that this was the reason why Lan He followed him so persistently from the beginning, but when he thought about it carefully, it made sense.
Others were very cautious when entering the cave, and hesitated when facing a fork in the road, for fear of taking the wrong path. Naturally, my performance stood out.
However, he really didn't know where the exit was. The reason why he was so confident when choosing the fork in the road was because he could cheat and didn't care whether the road was correct or not. Anyway, he could walk out of the cave by walking sideways after sleepwalking. However, he didn't expect that Lan He would misunderstand him.
"Mr. Lan, although I often lie, I want to tell you the truth today. I really don't know where to leave." Su Mu told the truth, which he rarely told in his life.
However, Lan He didn't believe it at all.
"It seems that Mr. Su has not figured out the situation yet." Lan He sighed helplessly: "In fact, I personally hate taking action, but there are always some conceited people in this world who cannot see themselves clearly, so I can only reluctantly help you see the reality.
It can be seen that Mr. Su is very confident in his own strength, so even though he knew that I was tracking you, he was bold enough to give me the mithril medal, because in your eyes, I pose no threat to you.
only......."
Lan He suddenly laughed grimly, his eyes suddenly became as dark as ink, with no white in his eyes, and a trace of sickness appeared on his face: "Mr. Su, you don't really think that when I shook hands with you in the car, it was just a simple handshake, right?
The seeds of the curse have already invaded your soul. After so much time, it has already taken root and sprouted. I only need to move my mind, and boom! Endless negative emotions will burst your soul."
"That's probably why you rushed to hand them the flashlight earlier."
"Yes, those idiots didn't notice it until they died, unlike Mr. Su who has such a keen eye."
"Oh?" Su Mu's eyes moved slightly: "They don't have Mithril Plates, why did you kill them?"
"Of course it's to collect their resentment before they die. The resentment before people die is the most delicious. Hiss." Lan He licked his lips morbidly, as if he was savoring the taste.
