Shi Jinzhe asked Teacher Yu, "Did you reorganize more than once?"
Teacher Yu looked troubled, but Shi Jinzhe understood immediately upon taking a look.
The girl with bandages wrapped around her neck inside the house was Xiao Yin's third teammate. The first female teammate who broke down the door was dead, the second teammate was probably Gu Ping, and the third was Xiao Yin.
Since Teacher Yu didn't say anything, Shi Jinzhe didn't plan to ask any more questions and went to the third room with Shehe.
Teacher Yu immediately stopped him: "Wait! I'll talk."
He hurriedly explained, "The first person I teamed up with last night was named Gu Ping. His teammates refused to go out, so he had to go out alone to look for clues. After his teammates died, I used a skill on him to temporarily team up with me. Originally, I wanted to find a suitable person to split up and reteam, but Gu Ping suddenly died. It was almost dawn then, and I saw a very thin metal tube protruding from the ceiling, like an enlarged needle, piercing his chest. Then he died without any resistance."
Shi Jinzhe asked again, "Then how did you survive? Because it was dawn?"
"It seems that right after 5 a.m., when it was fully light, the syringe disappeared instantly. Then I met Xiao Yin in Building B, who had also lost her teammate, and we teamed up."
Do you know Xiao Zheng, the girl who teamed up with Gu Ping?
Sheh counted the number of people: Teacher Yu's teammates, the pair of players who died midway, Gu Ping, and Xiao Yin's teammates, making a total of five people.
Gu Ping died, but didn't Xiao Zheng die from losing her teammates?
Could it be that she changed teammates in the middle of the night?
Just then, the descending elevator doors stopped on this floor. The doors opened, and Xiaozheng walked out arm in arm with a handsome male player.
Upon seeing the five people over there, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes, which were filled with admiration, but she quickly composed herself and did not show any unusual reaction.
Gu Ping wasn't ugly, just not outstanding. Compared to this male player with tall shoulders, long legs, and short chestnut hair, there was indeed a difference in appearance.
Xiao Zheng's long, loose hair was styled into a side braid, and she wore a lemon-yellow floral print dress. The two walked forward side by side.
The image of a delicate, dependent woman is vividly embodied in her. Yesterday she was all sweet and affectionate with Gu Ping, but today she's displaying her fragility and vulnerability in front of another man.
The two returned to their room as if no one else was there, leaving behind several bewildered faces.
Lin Xian swallowed hard. "She...is quite capable."
Shi Jinzhe: "He does have some skill."
"Then this guy's original teammates... weren't they also dead?" Liang Fengzhi asked.
Shekh: "We'll know after an hour of testing."
An hour was also hard for Liang Fengzhi to endure: "It's only the third day, and there are already thirty-two people left."
Moreover, among the 32 survivors, there are two pairs of players, Teacher Yu and Xiao Zheng, who changed teammates. Their fate tonight is uncertain, and it's unknown how many of them will be left tomorrow.
Even without the threat of her former teammates, there was still the possibility of death due to her personality. Liang Fengzhi couldn't be sure whether every word she said or every action she took would become the trigger for her death.
In this instance, it's dangerous to go out at night, whether you stay inside or not.
The atmosphere became somber, and Shekh rubbed his waist, feeling an itch there.
"Time's up, let's go back, I'm a little sleepy."
"Okay, let's go back."
Before leaving, Shi Jinzhe patted Teacher Yu on the shoulder.
Teacher Yu's worried face quickly regained its color, and she happily watched them leave. Back in her room, Shekh asked, "Did you cure him so you could have more bait tonight?"
"Yeah, let him stay alive to draw aggro. The wronged should be held accountable, and the former teammate shouldn't be able to find someone to harass other players. The longer he lives, the more peaceful others will be. Anyway, it doesn't cost any energy. After I get rid of him, he'll probably thank me."
"You'll be sold out and still have to count the money for you."
“He confessed everything so honestly because he wanted me to treat him. This isn’t me selling him out; I’m fulfilling his request, and he did it voluntarily.”
Shekh lay back on the bed. "Let's not talk about that. My back is really itchy. Can you take a look?"
"Were you sleeping uncomfortable?"
Shi Jin unzipped her skirt and pulled it down to her waist, but found nothing unusual around her waist. He pressed his fingers to her lower back and asked, "Is it here?"
"side."
Shi Jin shoved him away, asking, "Here?"
"It looks like it might go down a little more."
"This?"
"Go further down."
Shi Jinzhe bumped his hip bone, which was slightly protruding, and heard Shekh say that this was the spot.
He clapped his hands and said, "There's practically a river between this place and my waist. This isn't my waist."
"If I say so, then so be it. My whole body is waist."
"……OK."
In a sense, she's right.
Shi Jinzhe didn't argue, but instead curled her fingers and scratched her a couple of times, searching for a long time without finding the problem.
"There's no redness or swelling, and I can't see any problem with the naked eye. Shall I use an array to purify it for you?"
"Okay, otherwise it will always itch."
One minute later, Sheh lay peacefully in the center of the huge circular array, like a human-shaped wooden stake.
"A little bit is enough, there's no need to go to such an extreme. It's like you're trying to purify me."
"It's better to have peace of mind this way."
"……what ever."
Shekh closed his eyes and began to sleep.
The purification process was very short, only two or three minutes, and that was only because Shi Jinzhe was still worried and intentionally prolonged the process.
The golden array light suspended above the ground gradually dimmed and slowly sank into the ground. Shi Jinzhe looked again at the spot where Shehe had said it itched, but there was still nothing special about it.
His gaze moved upwards and landed on Shekh's face.
She said the itching occurred every time she transformed back into a snake's tail, at the junction of her skin and scales. The array didn't give any special feedback; it wasn't pollution, but rather that Shekh's personality had been noticed by this instance.
Yesterday morning, that tail whipped someone away, nearly killing them. Zhu Yueyin wanted to go forward to investigate, but Gao Fei stopped her because the others tacitly agreed that she was too dangerous and shouldn't get close.
Perhaps the dungeon thought such an action was too extreme, or perhaps it was because her oft-repeated phrase "take him to death" did not conform to the standard of a good lover in the eyes of ordinary people, so the location of the scale replacement caused her an uncomfortable itching sensation.
The way she died reflects her personality. The dungeon was probably meant to show her cold-blooded, beast-like side, but he didn't think Shekh was bad at all, so her body only reacted in these ways.
If he were still as afraid of snakes as he used to be, Sheikh would probably be suffering terribly, and he... would probably have been scared to death long ago.
