Chapter 38 Dark Paradise (16) - Handsome Guy
At this moment, Wu Yi was clinging to the back of his old car.
Li Mengqi was struggling with the steering wheel and brakes when she saw Wu Yi suddenly catch up. She exclaimed happily, "You're back!"
Although Wu Yi was in pain, he felt he could still bear it, so he replied weakly, "Yes, I'm back."
He quickly climbed into the car, then turned to Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan and said, "Good job, buddy, but try a different method next time, it hurts too much!"
Cheng Chuan: "..."
Ning Shu: "..."
Ning Shu felt that it was unlikely for Wu Yi to suspect someone of trying to murder him; the boy was too naive.
The crazed vehicles gradually calmed down, and Ning Shu wondered if the next move was about to happen.
Suddenly the music stopped, and the game ended.
The ending was so sudden that Ning Shu and the others didn't react for a moment until they received a system notification confirming that they had indeed passed the test.
[Congratulations to player "Strong Man Doesn't Wash His Feet" for obtaining 2/3 of the dungeon pass tickets through the "Fun Bumper Cars" event.]
The happiest people must be Wu Yi and Li Mengqi. Damn, even copying homework can easily lead to problems. This game is really hard to play.
Upon hearing the system notification, Ning Shu immediately pulled Cheng Chuan away from the venue, fearing that the game might think they wanted to continue and start another round.
Wu Yi pulled Li Mengqi over and said, "That was so close, but we made it through in the end."
Cheng Chuan had just opened his mouth to explain when he suddenly stopped, his eyes widening.
Ning Shu saw him open his mouth but not speak, and was about to ask what was wrong when she felt a few drops of liquid splash onto her face.
Her first reaction was to reach out and touch her face, then look down to see what was on her hands.
As a result, Cheng Chuan grabbed his hand and said, "Don't look."
ha?
Unfortunately, it was too late. As Ning Shu looked down, she saw a bloody head rolling over from the side!
Holy crap! Someone died?!
She looked in the direction of the bloodstains and saw the heterochromatic-eyed madman wiping himself with a short knife.
Next to him lay a headless corpse, oh, the head had rolled over to her side.
Ning Shu's legs went weak. Had he evolved to such a freakish degree that he would kill people at the drop of a hat?
What's even more terrifying is that the other person was wearing that cool black windbreaker—it was him!
The clothes the corpse was wearing looked familiar, like... it was one of his teammates who had completed the game with him before?
That's even more twisted, okay? He even killed his own companions.
Ning Shu didn't even need to look at her hands to know what had splashed on her face.
After wiping the dagger clean, the heterochromatic-eyed madman seemed to notice that someone was watching him, and his gaze turned towards them.
Ning Shu felt a chill run down her spine and quickly looked away.
The madman with heterochromia put the knife back into the scabbard strapped to his waist, pulled down his windbreaker to cover the knife, and then left.
As soon as the person left, Ning Shu's group breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, not only Ning Shu was on high alert, but everyone else was too.
Li Mengqi was a veteran player in the game, someone who had seen it all, but even so, her legs were shaking when she faced that man just now, though not noticeably.
After Cheng Chuan relaxed, he looked at Ning Shu and saw that Ning Shu was trembling like a little chick.
Ning Shu felt that once a person becomes timid, their body really becomes uncontrollable. After her emotions finally stabilized, her thoughts had already wandered to other places.
Her biggest concern right now is the last project – the “Deadly Roller Coaster,” which remains shrouded in mystery with absolutely no information available.
Suddenly, Ning Shu noticed a girl nearby who was suspiciously glancing in their direction. After realizing Ning Shu had seen her, she looked away.
There's something wrong with this girl!
Ning Shu thought to herself, then nudged Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi beside her and whispered to them not to look in that direction, lest she alert the enemy.
He instinctively turned around to look at the person's martial arts skills, but abruptly stopped himself.
Cheng Chuan frowned upon hearing this and whispered, "Could they be in cahoots with those men, and have their eyes on us?"
Ning Shu also had this suspicion; she felt that those men who specifically exploited players in this instance were indeed very dangerous.
Come to think of it, she hasn't seen them since.
This dungeon isn't that big, but it's not that small either. Why haven't I encountered it since?
Or did they simply miss each other completely?
Seeing them whispering, Li Mengqi listened intently for a couple of seconds and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What about those men? What are you talking about?"
Wu Yi then explained to her the dangerous group of men they had encountered.
After listening, Li Mengqi said, "That girl should have nothing to do with them."
Wu Yi blurted out, "Why?"
Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan were also curious as to why Li Mengqi was so certain, and they both looked at her.
Li Mengqi dropped a bombshell: "Because they are all dead."
Ning Shu and the others stared at Li Mengqi in shock. What? Were they hallucinating?
Those men looked pretty tough; they even used other players to clear mines for them to ensure their safety. How did they all die?
Could he have died on the "deadly roller coaster"? After all, this project is the most mysterious so far.
Li Mengqi gave an answer that none of them had considered: "Because they were all killed."
Holy crap! Who's that powerful?!
Three shocked faces.
Li Mengqi: "You've all seen that person before; he's the one who killed his own companion right in front of you just now."
She thought she hadn't explained herself clearly enough, so she added after a moment's thought, "It's that handsome guy who's wearing all black."
It's him again!
Ning Shu was stunned. Luckily, she didn't do anything foolish to offend the other party, otherwise she probably would have been in serious trouble too.
Cheng Chuan asked curiously, "Why did he..." Suddenly, he seemed to realize the reason, "Those people wanted to use him, but the other side found out?"
Li Mengqi was actually unclear about the specific reasons:
"I don't know, I only saw those men surrounding that handsome guy."
I don't know what they said, but that handsome guy pulled out a knife and killed everyone.
Li Mengqi couldn't quite describe the scene to them; that boy was really incredibly skilled.
In a few quick steps among the men, he slit their throats.
The blood splattered quite a distance. She remembered that a girl passing by was sprayed with blood all over her face and screamed in terror.
The boy seemed to find the girl too noisy and was about to hit her too, but her friends quickly pulled her away.
The boy just glanced at it coldly and then gave up.
Li Mengqi certainly wouldn't go looking for trouble, so he turned around and ran away.
Cheng Chuan concluded: "It seems that boy is a dangerous person. I should stay away from him if I see him in the future."
Ning Shu couldn't agree more; if that were the case, that girl...
She looked over and found that the other person was still staring at them.
She gestured for Cheng Chuan to look over: "Should we go over and ask her what she wants to do?"
After all, we outnumber her; she can't do anything to us, can she?
After they had discussed it, before they could even take any action, the girl actually came over on her own.
The four men looked at the girl, who casually asked, "Are you players?"
The four looked at each other, and Cheng Chuan, acting as the spokesperson, spoke up: "Yes, what do you want to do?"
Ning Shu wondered if the other party might be seeking cooperation with them, just like Li Mengqi.
Girl: "I have some information I want to sell to you guys. Shall we make a deal?"
Upon hearing this, the four were taken aback. Cheng Chuan continued, "What news?"
Instead of sharing the news first, the girl asked, "How many points do you have?"
This is a somewhat sensitive issue, especially for veteran players like Li Mengqi.
She interrupted directly, "Little sister, isn't it impolite of you to ask that?"
The girl suddenly smiled: "My information can save your lives. If you don't have enough points, I don't want to sell you the information."
That's a pretty appealing statement.
