After thinking for a moment, the passengers felt that it wasn't impossible to compromise, since it wouldn't do them any harm. The card exchange earlier was enough to prove that Mo Shuwan wasn't a fool; at least she was smart. If she was strong enough, making her owe someone a favor would indeed be a good idea.
Of course, some people have also considered that she might go back on her word without any proof.
However, since this involves a matter of trust, without absolute power to restrain it, opinions will vary.
In the secret room, the cloaked figure standing in the middle of the room with a pen and paper drew a circle over Mo Shuwan's name and then put a checkmark next to it. But a moment later, a question mark appeared after the red checkmark.
At this moment, Mo Shuwan had already sat down again, and as she was preparing to change the cards, a line of black text suddenly appeared on the table in front of her.
'Because you made a vow in the game world, it is now stipulated that you must fulfill your vow in the game world.'
Mo Shuwan: "..."
Upon seeing these words, she realized that, apart from being speechless, she couldn't find any other adjective to describe her current mood.
While she would indeed keep her promise if the passengers were willing to compromise, for some reason, ever since the game put her against thirty-seven passengers alone, she felt that the game world was targeting her…
But how could that be?
Why would the game world specifically target a weak passenger? What's the point?
Qin Liu, who also saw the black characters but whose were slightly different from Mo Shuwan's, looked at Mo Shuwan with a strange expression.
After an eerie silence, the passenger in seat number twenty-two raised his sign, "Number seven."
Mo Shuwan looked at number 22, who was also one of her suspects, with mixed feelings. After a moment of silence, she said, "Number 22, card number seven."
Sure enough, I got my own picture on the sign.
The last profile picture card was returned smoothly. Although she felt she had been blatantly scammed by the game world, Mo Shuwan was grateful that it acted as a witness at that time, otherwise the passengers would not have believed her so easily.
After the top five are determined, it's time to choose a monster to vent your frustrations on.
Zhou Quansheng was the first to stand up and walk to the monster closest to him. He plunged the dagger in his hand directly into the monster's neck. Without retracting the dagger, he turned and left.
The monster, who was actually a passenger, looked terrified but couldn't even make a sound. In less than half a minute, he died and his head slumped down.
The cross binding him vanished instantly, along with his body. The dagger Zhou Quansheng had used reappeared on the table in front of Zhou Quansheng's seat, its blade still stained with blood.
The other bound passengers were stunned and immediately began to struggle frantically, yelling, "Let me go, ah!"
"Damn, it's so noisy."
Like Zhou Quansheng, Su Xuan and Ao Tian showed no mercy to these noisy monsters in their eyes, and in the blink of an eye, two more crosses disappeared.
When it was Lin Guaiji's turn to choose a monster, Mo Shuwan's heart jumped. His attention to Wen Zuo earlier made her worry.
Lin Guaiji picked up the dagger on the table, turned around and walked towards the direction where Wen Zuo and the others were. The passengers who were tied up there felt a sudden tightness in their hearts. These guys were different from the last batch. They were too ruthless!
Mo Shuwan turned her head and saw that Lin Guaiji had indeed gone in the direction of Wen Zuo. Her heart was beating faster and faster uncontrollably.
When Lin Guaiji was only two meters away from Wen Zuo, Mo Shuwan, who was trying her best to control her emotions and not let herself give herself a flaw, finally couldn't help but stand up. It was as if Lin Guaiji had eyes in the back of his head, and he turned around the moment she stood up.
"Explain."
Mo Shuwan pursed her lips and said softly, "He's mine, please be lenient."
Lin Guaiji looked at Mo Shuwan and said in a cold voice, "Show your value."
What do you want?
Lin Guai pondered for a moment and realized that she couldn't give him what he wanted, and he didn't need what she had now. So he casually said, "If I ever encounter trouble in the future, you must help me at all costs."
This requirement doesn't actually have any impact on Mo Shuwan right now. After leaving the game world, it's uncertain whether she'll encounter it again in the future, and even if that day does come, it will be a long time from now.
She nodded in agreement, "Okay."
Lin Guaiji turned around to face Wen Zuo.
Wen Zuo watched as his eyes were filled with two pupils, one black and one red. In those eerie eyes, he saw himself bound to a cross, not as a monster.
This Lin was very different from all the passengers he had met before, and Wen Zuo's eyes darkened.
In just one second, the red pupils in Lin Guaiji's eyes disappeared, and his black pupils, like those of a normal person, quietly looked at Wen Zuo for a moment. Keeping his promise, he did not attack Wen Zuo again. Instead, he chose the monster beside Wen Zuo and killed it with a single blow.
After Lin Guaiji turned and left, the passengers who were tied to the cross and were much more silent than before breathed a sigh of relief. That guy had put too much pressure on them.
Chen Chen, who was tied to Wen Zuo's other side, let out a long breath. He turned his head to look at the empty space on Wen Zuo's left and right sides, and knew that if Lin Guaiji had made a mistake just now, he would be the one who disappeared now.
“This guy noticed something was wrong and made no attempt to hide it. The others must have realized something is amiss as well. We’re probably in deep trouble this time,” Chen Chen said in a low voice, then turned to look at Wen Zuo.
Although Wen Zuo was protected by Mo Shuwan this time, she made a promise that she would have to help him at all costs in the future.
Moreover, all of this happened in full view of everyone. Any other passenger who wasn't stupid would be able to see that Wen Zuo was Mo Shuwan's weakness. If they wanted to get anything from her, they would definitely target Wen Zuo.
With Wen Zuo as a target in front of them, the rest of them might be safe for the time being.
Wen Zuo didn't speak, his eyes fixed on Mo Shuwan who was walking towards him. When she reached him, he sighed and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble this time."
These words were just a few low growls to Mo Shuwan. She slowly brandished the dagger on Wen's left arm and lowered her voice, saying, "Now everyone knows I'm protecting you. After I win the next bet, they will definitely target you and force me to give them benefits. I—maybe I can't protect you. Be patient. I have a way to save you, but it will take some time."
"Don't worry about me. They want to get something out of you. At most, they'll torture me, but they won't kill me. On the contrary, it will be very difficult for you to complete the mission. You should protect yourself."
Mo Shuwan listened quietly to Wen Zuo's low roar before turning her gaze to the two monsters beside her and asking in a low voice, "Which team are those two passengers from? If it's 204, call out once; if it's 404, call out twice; if it's 504, call out three times."
Before Wen Zuo could answer, Chen Chen, who had been silently listening to their conversation, couldn't wait any longer and let out two low growls.
"I see."
