The three of them said nothing more and sat quietly. After a while, Shekh got sleepy again and went back to B703 to sleep.
An hour and a half later, Lin Xian returned with the news.
Lin Xian gave an OK sign: "Three died, fewer than I expected."
“Three? Shouldn’t it be four?” Shi Jinzhe asked.
“There were three last night: Teacher Yu and his teammates, and Song Mingyan. The one named Xiaozheng didn’t die.” Lin Xian waved her hand to show them. “But she looked terrible, and two of her fingers were broken. When I came back, I found that her teammates had changed again. There should be another female player dying soon.”
Shekh was slightly surprised: "There are still people who dare to be her teammates?"
It's been four days already. Even the slowest person should know that you can't easily change teammates in this round, especially if your teammates haven't died, because you'll definitely be attacked tonight.
Xiao Zheng has already lost two opportunities to change teammates after teaming up with Gu Ping and Song Mingyan respectively. If she changes teammates again today and the teammates are still not satisfactory, is she planning to leave the next three days to fate?
“Yes.” Lin Xian pressed her nose bridge and rubbed it a couple of times to refresh herself. “Gao Fei said that Xiao Zheng wanted to team up with her teammates yesterday. She failed the first time in the elevator, and then came again in the middle of the night. She had already broken up with Song Mingyan when she came, but she still failed. In the end, she could only settle for second best and find a guy to team up with in the shortest time possible… I don’t know how she did it.”
In fact, Gao Fei put it very bluntly: she had a body changed, and it was a body that was not as good as Song Mingyan's.
At least Song Mingyan's face is pleasing to the eye, while the third one, in his forties, looks like her father with his arms around her and his head leaning back.
"That guy's name is Yan Taixu. I heard he was his former teammate. Although he doesn't have much experience in this game, he's stubborn and hard to fool, so Xiaozheng... well, he took the bait."
“She…” As an adult, Liang Fengzhi quickly understood Lin Xian’s veiled implication, “What is she after?”
Each of his three teammates was worse than the last, and in the end, it was all for naught.
A man who's willing to risk his life for a quick thrill is both stupid and wicked. Would she have been out of her mind to have such a teammate?
Liang Fengzhi couldn't understand it. Logically speaking, Xiao Zheng was able to find Gu Ping at the beginning, so she must have some ability. She was definitely not someone who was completely unable to protect herself.
If Gu Ping was purely lustful... Liang Fengzhi thought about it. The dead Princess Cut was actually prettier. Crabs aren't cheap, and Gu Ping was willing to buy them for Xiao Zheng, which means she must have made Gu Ping realize his value. How could the dungeon keep getting worse and worse?
"She must have had some powerful props, but now that she's run out of props, she can only rely on this."
I've come to deeply appreciate how powerful a strong item can be in a dungeon.
Just like in the bomb instance, because of Shekh's contribution, he was ranked first in points by a wide margin, so when Qi Yuping came to find him in the end, she spoke to him very politely.
Shekh had no restrictions on his use and helped him smoothly transition until he retrieved his skill card, giving him ample time to grow, which prevented outsiders from discovering that he was actually penniless and had nothing.
Shi Jinzhe said, "If Xiaozheng has a life-saving item, she will have the ability to continuously change teammates. Moreover, this item must be a powerful life-saving item for two people or a team, which can protect two people at the same time so that people will be willing to team up with her."
However, such a prop must have usage restrictions. Assuming it's a two-person prop, that means at least two uses. I'm not sure if one person can accumulate two uses, but Gu Ping and Song Mingyan, who was abandoned in the middle of the night, will definitely go to find her. She's not dead, so it should be possible to use it this way.
After listening for a while, Sheh said, "Anyone who is removed from the team after 40 minutes will die. Song Mingyan was abandoned in the middle of the night and couldn't wait for dawn for 40 minutes. So Xiaozheng's two chances to save her life were given to Gu Ping and Song Mingyan. The third time, she can only find such a teammate, which means she can only use them twice at a time."
Liang Fengzhi: "But I have a question. Yan Taixu, won't his abandoned teammates also go after him? If all three of them are looking for him at the same time, and two of the targets are Xiao Zheng, won't he be angry with Xiao Zheng?"
Lin Xian responded, "I secretly observed her on my way back, and it's quite strange that I didn't see Yan Taixu giving her the cold shoulder."
Shekh: "What time did she go to see Gao Fei last night?"
"I didn't ask that." Lin Xian stood up and walked out. "I'll go ask now. Please wait a few minutes."
They didn't give anyone time to try and stop them; they just disappeared like the wind.
"..."
It's clear he really wants the gold leaf.
About ten minutes later, he ran back. "Gao Fei said she didn't see... there was a monster attacking her at that time, and she didn't care about the woman."
"Attack her?" Shi Jinzhe realized something was wrong. "Didn't she not disband the team?"
"Yes, but she was attacked last night."
"You're in your room, you didn't go out?"
"No, and like Sister Liang, she was attacked in the bathroom. No one outside heard anything, which is very strange."
"It was Xiao Zheng who attacked Sister Liang and Gao Fei."
Lin Xian and Liang Fengzhi looked toward Shi Jinzhe in the direction of the sound. "I think I understand what the effect of her prop is. It's something like a substitute death. To ensure the substitute death is successful, they were separated by the prop's effect, just to prevent the cries for help from being noticed."
"Is she crazy? What did I do to her?!" Liang Fengzhi's pent-up frustration from the previous night suddenly exploded. "Entering this lousy game is painful enough, why is she making things difficult for me! I haven't bothered her at all!"
Shi Jinzhe said calmly, "Calm down. You'll see more lunatics in the future. This is nothing. There were plenty of them in the original world. It's not surprising."
Cheng Youan is exactly that kind of person. Who knows, you might get resented by someone just because of a single word or action.
His extremely unclear self-will is above all else; the whole world has to make way for him, and he has no way to reason with anyone.
Liang Fengzhi gasped for breath, and as he exhaled, his shoulders slumped downwards as if weighed down by a thousand pounds.
"Two hours ago I was afraid of becoming a psychopath, but now I want to kill people... I'm doomed."
"Let's not wait until tonight," Shekh yawned. "I'm taking you to kill someone now."
Otherwise, it will be too late. By the time Gao Fei realizes what's going on, she will probably take action anyway.
This troublemaker deserves half the credit for the increased death toll. Although these dead players haven't attacked anyone else yet, there are still three days left, and nobody can say for sure what will happen next.
We can't let this little zither cause any more trouble during the day. We'll kill her first. If she turns into a monster and comes looking for us tonight, we'll kill her again.
She told Liang Fengzhi, "With this kind of person, you have to strike first, otherwise you won't be able to get it."
"…ah?"
Sister Liang once again raised a bewildered question.
Her mind was once again shaken.
That's like scrambling for cabbages at the market...
“Come with me.” Shekh turned and went out, then called to Lin Xian, “You show me the way.”
Lin Xian ran over excitedly, saying, "Coming, coming!"
Shi Jin fell to the very back of the line, thinking, "You're really kind to people who like snakes..."
In comparison, it's clear how many detours he took, all because he was afraid of snakes and lived in constant fear.
If Sheikh's first impression was of him carefully tending to a snake, then...
"Don't think about it,"
Shekh's voice came from ahead, "I can't love you to death, I'll only kill you."
"Just let me fantasize a little, okay..."
