Chapter 175 Plastic Sibling Relationship
The alarm sounded throughout Zone A.
This is the highest level of alarm, indicating that the warden's territory has been invaded.
Mo Xi, who had just escorted the prisoner to the interrogation room and was about to rest, suddenly changed her expression: "No, is this ever going to end? Why are there so many alarms today!"
If she catches him, she'll tear him to pieces. That despicable guy who made her work overtime.
But now is not the time to think about that. Mo Xi, with a grim expression, summoned the other prison guards.
Today she is in charge of security in Area A. First, the prisoners rioted and triggered the alarm, and now someone has triggered the alarm in the warden's territory.
If she's held accountable, she'll die!
Mo Xi led the prison guards upstairs at top speed. Her long hair was disheveled and flowed behind her. Her face turned blue with anger, and her eyes were fierce.
She was completely different from the friendly and cute Mo Xi in front of Jiang Liyue.
She is now truly terrifying and bizarre.
On the way, she ran into Shu Feng, who had also heard the alarm and rushed over.
Shu Feng was somewhat incredulous: "Who's so bold as to run into an adult's office?"
Ever since the prison riot and subsequent brutal crackdown by the warden, the prisoners have become like quails.
Even if one or two troublemakers show up every day, they never dare to directly challenge Xie Shiyuan's bottom line on his territory.
So where did today's warriors come from?
"I don't know, maybe it's one of those idiots who just went to prison." Mo Xi's voice was furious. "Whoever it is, they all have to die."
This was the first time Shu Feng had seen his good partner like this. He unconsciously took a step back and reassured him, "Hiss, calm down, calm down. The master should be with Miss Jiang right now. Miss Jiang's cell is downstairs from the master. Maybe the master will deal with that audacious guy soon."
Shu Feng's words did not comfort Mo Xi; instead, they made her even angrier.
Her long black hair floated up, and her eyes turned red: "So, in other words, Miss Jiang also saw my mistake at work?"
Wouldn't Miss Jiang think she was incompetent at her job, lose trust in her, and stop calling her Sister Mo Xi?
Ah, she won't allow it! This time, she's really going to make those who cause trouble die!
Jiang Lingxue froze when the alarm sounded.
"What should I do?" She never expected that her casual touch on the painting on the wall would have such consequences.
Huo Heng glanced at the flashing red dot in the room and the alarm sounding throughout Zone A, his expression not looking too good.
He glanced at the open bookshelf and the space behind it, and decisively said, "Let's go in first."
Going out now might just lead you into the clutches of those eerie creatures who come rushing in after hearing the alarm, and the room hidden behind the bookshelf might hold crucial clues.
Since things have come to this point, why not go in and take a look?
Huo Heng went in first, followed by Jiang Lingxue and Jiang Zhou.
After they stepped inside, the bookshelves closed again, and the inside was pitch black.
Huo Heng turned on the lights, and the three of them discovered that the hidden room was actually a row of shelves, with all sorts of antiques and precious jewelry casually piled on them.
Jiang Lingxue gasped, "Is this the boss's treasure trove?"
"It should be. Let's see if there are any relevant clues." Huo Heng's expression was calm as he began searching the shelves.
Seeing this, Jiang Lingxue followed suit.
Jiang Zhou was like a headless fly, pacing back and forth in place: "What should we do now? The alarms are still going off outside. Are we just going to stay here and wait to be caught like turtles in a jar?"
"Now that things have come to this, finding clues is the most important thing," Jiang Lingxue advised, noticing his anxiety.
But Jiang Zhou was clearly not so calm. He frowned and said, "We can look for clues anytime, but now is a matter of life and death!"
[They started arguing! Aren't these two siblings?]
[Pfft, what a fake sibling relationship! I thought Jiang Zhou would treat his real sister better than Yueyue.]
To put it bluntly, it's just selfishness.
I've watched too many live streams; it's not just siblings, even fathers and sons can kill each other.
[Tsk tsk tsk, I don't want to see this kind of arguing. Live streamer, I beg you, turn the camera back! I want to see Yueyue and Xie Gou kissing.]
The preceding part was too direct.
"Well... I want to see what Yueyue and Xie Gou do, the things they love to do."
【？】
Even though they were separated by bookshelves, they could still hear the repeated alarms outside.
The piercing sound was like a knife hanging over their heads, ready to strike at any moment.
Huo Heng frowned slightly, displeased. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't make a sound. The NPCs might not discover the secret room. As long as the boss isn't here, we're all safe."
As they were talking, they heard a series of chaotic footsteps outside. The three of them immediately turned off the lights and hid in a corner of the secret room, carefully listening to the sounds outside.
Before infiltrating Area A, Huo Heng provided all three of them with items that could temporarily conceal their human presence.
Therefore, as long as they are not actually found by the supernatural beings, they cannot detect their existence solely by smell.
This is also why they were able to successfully infiltrate Area A.
Otherwise, given their human aura, even if they used a feint, they would be like three large pieces of meat, making it difficult for them to go undetected.
As Huo Heng had guessed, Mo Xi arrived at Xie Shiyuan's office with her entourage. Seeing the empty and ransacked place, her expression turned even uglier.
"They're not here." Shu Feng looked around. "They probably ran away beforehand."
“I already had people guarding this building. There’s no way they could have escaped. Even if they’re not on this floor, they’re on another floor.” Mo Xi snorted coldly. “I’d like to see where this rat can hide.”
"Then why don't we go and ask the adults for permission first?"
"No need." Mo Xi didn't want Jiang Liyue to know about her work mistake, so she quickly shook her head. "Since the master didn't say anything, he must be with Miss Jiang and doesn't want to be disturbed. We can handle this kind of small matter."
Shu Feng recalled that the cell on the ninth floor belonging to Jiang Liyue, which he had seen earlier, was indeed still locked. He accepted Mo Xi's idea and remained silent.
As soon as he finished speaking, the footsteps outside faded into the distance.
However, the expressions of Huo Heng and the other two inside the secret room were noticeably more serious.
Because they all heard that the prison guards had blocked off the building.
They could indeed hide here temporarily, but if they couldn't find anyone for a long time, they consulted the warden, who couldn't possibly be unaware of this secret room.
In other words, they might have to face the dungeon boss head-on.
"We must get out," Huo Heng decided immediately.
"Going out is just suicide!" Jiang Zhou accused. "If it weren't for accidentally touching something and triggering the alarm..."
Jiang Lingxue knew he was also uncomfortable blaming her: "We're going to encounter things while we're looking for them. If it wasn't me, it would be you. That's the difficulty of the dungeon. Otherwise, why would we be in Area A?"
What bothered her even more was that she had treated Jiang Zhou so many times before.
But at times like this, Jiang Zhou doesn't remember the good things he did for Jiang Zhou in the past, and instead blames himself.
This isn't even a matter of life and death yet; it's far too selfish and heartless.
At this moment, Jiang Lingxue seemed to have forgotten that Jiang Zhou had been just as selfish when he kicked his sister, with whom he had lived for nearly twenty years, out of the house.
Selfish people are like that; they only think about themselves at all times, and they have no feelings for others.
Jiang Zhou seemed completely oblivious to the fact that he had said anything wrong, and he wanted to continue criticizing, "You could have been more careful..."
Before he could finish speaking, Huo Heng glared at him coldly: "Alright, now is not the time to talk about this, and besides, Ling Xue is right."
"Brother Huo." Jiang Lingxue looked at him with emotion and threw herself into his arms.
Huo Heng sensed her dependence and his protective instincts kicked in. He gently reassured her, "Don't worry, we'll get out safely."
Jiang Zhou looked embarrassed after being interrupted.
Looking at the couple's affectionate appearance beside them, a chill ran through me for a moment.
