Chapter 169 Trap
The surrounding players watched in horror as Jiang Zhou spouted nonsense, but no one responded to him.
When Jiang Zhou finally realized that everyone's eyes were subtly glancing at his calves, he obviously remembered what happened yesterday.
He instantly became furious and said, "She's just relying on the props someone gave her."
Several players who were unaware of their sibling relationship beforehand remained noncommittal.
They were all secretly wondering, regardless of whether it was the effect of the item or how the item came about, the fact was that the female player was very powerful now.
Is it necessary to dwell on the source of the items at this point?
Such intelligence... Several people hesitated. Did they really want to cooperate with such a volatile person?
Jiang Lingxue also noticed the expressions of the other players and knew that something was wrong.
Of course, she wasn't as naive and simple as Jiang Zhou, nor did she think that Jiang Liyue would still cooperate with them after things had turned out this way.
All she said was just to sow discord between Huo Heng and Jiang Liyue.
Before Jiang Liyue left yesterday, Huo Heng's attitude towards her was really strange.
Although Huo Heng explained at the time that he only felt that Jiang Liyue was capable and wanted to cooperate with her, Jiang Lingxue still held a grudge about it.
That's why she deliberately brought up the cooperation today, subtly implying through Jiang Zhou that Jiang Liyue is a selfish person and would never cooperate with them.
Who knew Jiang Zhou would be so stupid, expressing his emotions too obviously, which made the other players wary.
"Fool, if his skills weren't useful, she wouldn't call him Second Brother."
Seeing this, Jiang Lingxue had no choice but to temporarily abandon her previous plans and sincerely advised, "It's probably because we let our sister enter the dungeon before. She's a little angry with us now. Second brother, let's apologize to her properly after we leave the dungeon."
"I know you're just being stubborn. You were the closest to your sister back then, and you watched her grow up. You're just worried about her."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhou instinctively wanted to retort: "Who..."
But noticing Jiang Lingxue's suggestive look, he stopped himself from saying anything and sighed, "Okay, I'll talk to her properly after we leave the dungeon."
Seeing Jiang Lingxue's kind and persuasive manner, the other players around her had a better impression of her.
Jiang Zhou may be a bit stupid, but how come he's so lucky to have such a kind and capable younger sister?
However, Jiang Lingxue's kindness suited their wishes, since that's exactly what they wanted. She would only use her skills to save them when they were injured, right?
With each person preoccupied with their own thoughts, the group soon began discussing the mission again.
Finally, Huo Heng decided: "For today, let's continue looking for clues about Ino in the workshop."
It's only the first two days of the dungeon, so the danger level isn't too high yet, and they still have time to look for clues.
Huo Heng was the strongest among them.
Although it seems like Jiang Lingxue is always the one mediating relationships, she actually has to listen to Huo Heng. Therefore, before he makes a decision, the other players naturally have no objections.
Today, the players' task remains labor, and soon two prisoners from Area A will take them to the workshop.
There were fewer players today, but no one asked where the missing players had gone.
If someone disappears inside a dungeon, what other reason could it be besides death?
However, Jiang Zhou noticed that Zhu Jie and Lin Jing, who used to always argue with them, were not there, and he secretly gossiped about it with Jiang Lingxue.
"Those two women acted so arrogantly, I thought they were something special, but they died so young."
Jiang Lingxue also remembered those two people; they were the two who had been criticizing her from the very beginning, yet they had taken the initiative to please Jiang Liyue.
What's the use? Jiang Liyue is just a selfish woman.
Jiang Lingxue felt much better, but her face remained aloof. She frowned regretfully, "If they had stayed with us, they might not have been eliminated so early..."
"They deserved it." Jiang Zhou snorted smugly.
With that eyesore dead, at least something to please him has finally happened.
While the players were doing their work, Jiang Liyue also arrived at Area B.
Yesterday she found the warehouse and saw what was inside. Today, Jiang Liyue wants to continue looking for clues inside.
She didn't expect that as she crawled into the warehouse through the ventilation duct, before she even got down, she could hear people talking inside.
"Ugh, another huge pile of garbage has been brought in. I wonder what's inside. It stinks."
"Hey bro, can you call it trash if it doesn't stink? It's not bad that you can even reuse it." The two men were talking as they seemed to be dragging something along.
Jiang Liyue looked down through the ventilation duct and saw that the two people talking were clearly dressed as prison guards, and their tone was relaxed and teasing.
"That's true, it does generate revenue for our prison."
"Otherwise, how could we have such good treatment? It's a pity. Everything is great in prison, except it's so inconvenient to buy things," the slightly taller prison guard said with a hint of regret.
The short prison guard asked him with amusement, "Have you finished your cigarette again?"
"Yes."
The short prison guard lowered his voice and chuckled, "That's easy. Aren't they shipping out the goods they made these past two days? Just ask the driver to bring you some cigarettes back."
“That’s true.” The two said, tossing the contents of the box aside, and then walked away talking.
Their voices faded into the distance until the warehouse door closed.
After waiting a while, Jiang Liyue jumped down from the ventilation duct.
She first went to where the two prison guards had been and found that they had brought in two large boxes.
The box was completely unopened, but it emitted a faint, rotten, bloody odor.
Jiang Liyue was already very familiar with this scent after several instances.
It smells like a corpse.
Based on the conversation between the two prison guards, Jiang Liyue guessed that the prison guards in Block B were probably human.
They should have known that there was something unusual or abnormal about Prison 01, but they never investigated it.
Just like the prison guard who took Jiang Liyue to Area A before, he only knew that there was a group of terrifying beings in Area A, but he didn't know exactly what they were.
But since they live in Prison 01, they must know something is wrong, like this smelly box. They're only responsible for moving it, but they don't open it.
"Moreover, mentioning that a car would go out at night is actually giving the players a clue, right?" Jiang Liyue pondered to herself.
The transport trucks leaving the prison at night might be the key items for players to complete their escape mission.
If you can hide in the car, you can easily get out, right?
However, Jiang Liyue touched the collar around her neck that represented the identity of each prisoner.
The metallic feel of her hand brought her greater clarity of mind.
Yes, this is an A-level dungeon. Even an escape mission wouldn't be this simple.
The collar around a player's neck not only represents the player's identity, but also triggers an alarm if the player leaves the area, instantly killing any prisoner attempting to escape.
Therefore, before the player can get out, they must first remove the collar around their neck.
If players think that simply going outside is enough to complete the mission, then they're doomed.
One can imagine that players were full of anticipation, thinking they would be able to complete the quest and escape the dungeon.
The moment I stepped out of Prison 01, instead of receiving a notification that I had successfully escaped the instance, I was met with a death threat at my neck.
How can this not be considered a form of dark humor?
