"...What the hell does this mean? Are you giving her preferential treatment?"
Aside from Mo Shuwan and the new passengers, everyone else knew how generous the rewards were after climbing this staircase. Although the rewards decreased with each trip, there were still some. But now the staircase had lost its effect on all of them, yet it remained open to Mo Shuwan. Wasn't this just taking advantage of connections?!
Under what circumstances would a bus open its rear door for passengers?
The slightly calmer passengers squinted and pondered, but this was the first time they had encountered such a situation, and they couldn't figure out the reason. They just felt that the bus was shameless for blatantly opening the back door in full view of everyone.
"Forget it, I've seen enough miracles with her. I'm going back to my room."
The passengers didn't intend to pursue the answer, but Mo Shuwan couldn't. She was under increasing pressure again, and if she didn't resolve this issue, she might not even be able to return to her room tonight.
"Did the healing stone work?"
Mo Shuwan shook her head. "I've checked, there's nothing wrong." Suddenly, she paused, raised her hand, took off the healing stone from her neck, and handed it to Wen Zuo. She carefully felt it. Although the pressure was slowly increasing, there was still a force supporting her.
"It's not that."
"Phew... Captain, don't you still have a jade pendant on you?"
Reminded by Chen Jiaxu, who arrived panting, Mo Shuwan finally remembered the monitoring jade pendant on her body. She took it out of her storage space and found it emitting a faint light. She looked up and rubbed her forehead, feeling both amused and exasperated. "I had completely forgotten about this jade pendant."
Having found the reason, Wen Zuo breathed a sigh of relief, but to be on the safe side, he still reached out his hand to Mo Shuwan, "Let's try."
"good."
Mo Shuwan placed the jade pendant in Wen Zuo's palm. The moment the jade pendant left her hand, a terrifying pressure struck, and she couldn't even speak. Fortunately, Wen Zuo, who noticed her pale face, immediately put the jade pendant back into her hand.
The pressure that seemed capable of crushing her slowly disappeared under the pressure of the monitoring jade pendant.
Chen Jiaxu exclaimed from the side, "This jade pendant is truly a fine piece."
"Tch, I have plenty of good jade pendants." Cheng Hua muttered, slowly making his way up the stairs. He reached out and looked at the jade pendant Mo Shuwan was holding, then his eyes widened in disbelief as he pointed at it and said, "How could you possibly be a candidate for Inspector?!"
“Candidate for overseer… tell me more.”
Cheng Hua: "..." For a moment, Cheng Hua didn't know how to react. He stared blankly at the black jade pendant, feeling both that it made sense and that it was unbelievable.
What makes sense is that Mo Shuwan climbed to the twelfth floor without stopping, but what's unbelievable is that a passenger on a new bus would be a candidate for the Inspector... and the other party is clearly unaware of this.
Chenghua felt it was difficult to describe his feelings at that moment.
He glared at Mo Shuwan, then turned and left.
"...This guy is even harder to deal with than Yun Chen."
Yun Chen turned to look at Chen Jiaxu.
Chen Jiaxu: "..."
Cheng Hua was unwilling to talk, and there was no way to force him to. Mo Shuwan examined the jade pendant, which was emitting a faint light, in her hand and said in a low voice, "I'll try to go up a little further."
"Yes, stop immediately if you feel uncomfortable."
Mo Shuwan nodded and was about to continue when she suddenly remembered something. She turned to look down and found the passengers who had set up the gambling game in the crowd. She smiled and said, "Don't forget to redeem your rewards."
Her voice wasn't quiet; not only did the other person hear it, but all the passengers who hadn't returned to their rooms yet heard it. Some of them had bet on Mo Shuwan winning, hoping to try their luck, but the blow they had just suffered was so great that they forgot to redeem their rewards.
Mo Shuwan did remind them.
The young man's face darkened. Although he could afford to pay the points, he was still somewhat annoyed, since paying Mo Shuwan and the others would cost him millions.
Of course, Wen Zuo went to collect Mo Shuwan's share together. She smiled, no longer paying attention to the somewhat chaotic hall, and continued to walk up step by step. Now that she knew what force was supporting her, she couldn't help but think more.
The identity of the Inspector remains a mystery, but she has met one: Lin Xun, who went to rescue Zheng Shanhe from the underworld. At that time, his power was suppressed and he had no weapons, but the strength he displayed was still terrifying.
Judging from the test mentioned by the cloaked man, the 'Overseers' are a group, and I am currently just a candidate mentioned by Cheng Hua...
It's probably true, just like the passengers were discussing, that this group offers some discounts at certain times.
After connecting the clues, Mo Shuwan put her mind at ease and continued walking upwards. This time, she walked at a slightly slower pace, but it was still much slower than the other passengers.
On the stone tablet, Mo Shuwan's name continued to rise slowly until she reached the sixteenth floor. Suddenly, a huge bell rang. The new passengers looked confused, but the old passengers' expressions changed slightly.
The new passengers, still gathered in the lobby watching Mo Shuwan climb up, looked around curiously and couldn't help but whisper among themselves, "Is that voice urging us to hurry back to our rooms?"
"I don't think so. Didn't they say the competition wouldn't start until after midnight? It's still a long way off."
"What does this bell sound mean?"
The older passengers, who had been drawn back to Mo Shuwan by the chiming of the bell, darkened their faces. "Idiot."
