Congratulations on Your Successful Escape Chapter 112

Chapter 112

Mo Yi was stunned. This answer seed to be outside of rationality yet at the sa ti, it was also within expectations.

Jiang Yuanrou blinked her light brown eyes while observing the changes in Mo Yi’s expression, and asked cautiously, “What’s wrong?”

Mo Yi was roused from his thoughts by her voice. There was no visible change to his expression and he rely looked at Jiang Yuanrou with a pair of dark eyes, and handed her the two magnetic cards without saying anything.

Jiang Yuanrou hesitated for a few seconds before taking the two magnetic cards from Mo Yi’s hand.

A look of surprise appeared on Jiang Yuanrou’s face under the dim lighting of the elevator. The fingers holding the edges of the two cards turned slightly white due to the force she was gripping them with.

She raised her head to look at Mo Yi with a heavy look on her pale face. Pursing her bloodless lips, she then asked, “How could this be?”

Mo Yi shook his head, solemnity lining his brows as he subconsciously stroked the knuckles of his ice cold hand with his fingers.

“I don’t know.”

Jiang Yuanrou lowered her head again in disbelief, studying the faded and blurry writing on it once again.

Mo Yi looked at her and said, “There are too few clues in this instance. I can only co up with a few simple guesses at most, but none of them have a reliable basis to back it up.”

He paused, eting the gaze of Jiang Yuanrou who had raised her eyes, and then continued speaking.

“The only thing that can be affird now is that this instance has a lot to do with the one you experienced last ti.”

Jiang Yuanrou had obviously also co to the sa conclusion. There was an abnormal flush on her pale face while her light brown eyes lit up, as if she was suppressing the emotions in her surging heart.

She took a deep breath and nodded cautiously, the corners of her lips were pressed into a tight line and her voice was trembling slightly.

“That’s good.”

Mo Yi instantly understood the aning behind her words.

Since their current instance was related to the previous one, it ant that there was nothing wrong with the prop she used—they are now indeed in the sa instance as Jiang Yuanbai.

Mo Yi lowered his eyes subconsciously and his gaze fell on his bandaged palm. The bandage on it was no longer as white as it was earlier. It was now stained with a little dust and blood, making it look crumpled.

He held his wrist with his other hand then moved his fingers lightly. A swelling pain ca from the wound.

Mo Yi sucked in a shallow breath, then raised his head to look at Jiang Yuanrou, and said, “Tell as much as possible about your experience in the last instance.”

Although the ga restricted players from exchanging information between different instances, with how this instance was so tight-lipped about clues, it seed that the breakthrough point would likely only be found in the instance which Jiang Yuanrou previously experienced.

What they could do now was to find a way to communicate these details while avoiding the restrictions placed on them by the ga as much as possible.

Or… they could actually use this to their advantage.

Mo Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. The dim light overhead casted a sharp shadow on his face.

Anything which was automatically censored by the ga would be an unrelated key point that only existed in the previous instance, which could then narrow the scope of their investigation.

Jiang Yuanrou seed to have suppressed her agitated emotions. Pursing her lips, she nodded then began to talk.

The tal walls of the elevator vibrated slightly with the groaning of the machinery, and the sound almost beca a soft background noise that slowly lded into Jiang Yuanrou’s voice.

Mo Yi’s eyes fell on a corner of the elevator. He narrowed his eyes and listened quietly.

The setting of the previous instance was a huge old mansion. There were a total of 24 players who entered, 12 n and 12 won. The total survival ti was 14 days. The players were sorted into different floors according to their gender, and the monster hunted and killed different genders every day.

Jiang Yuanrou summarised the basic information of her previous instance, frowned and thought about it, then added, “In the last instance, Yuanbai and I… didn’t try to initiate the side mission, so we don’t know much enough about that instance.”

A hint of gloom appeared between her brows, and the last traces of rosiness vanished from her pale face:

“I suspect… the reason why his mission failed may have sothing to do with it.”

Mo Yi glanced at Jiang Yuanrou and replied, “Perhaps.”

According to what he saw and heard after the end of his last instance, the main criteria for judging whether a player can enter the Senior mber Club seed to be the [Player Comprehensive Ability Evaluation], and although the initiation of side missions should be one of the ways to gain points, it should not be the only one.

Jiang Yuanrou took a deep breath, and then continued, “Although we didn’t open the branch line, we still found so clues, such as the na of the boss and…”

Halfway through her sentence, her voice was suddenly lodged in her throat, only leaving behind a shallow gasp.

Jiang Yuanrou tried to open her mouth, but she still couldn’t make any sound. She looked up at Mo Yi, her eyes flashing, and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice.

“So, what was redacted was an important clue?”

Mo Yi nodded and answered, “Yes. Although our information cannot be shared completely, in this way, at least we both now know so clues about this instance.”

He paused, and added, “But… Perhaps you could try to find other ways to tell , for example, what was the clue that you couldn’t tell just now, about?”

Jiang Yuanrou frowned and was deep in thought for dozens of seconds, before speaking again.

“The identity of the boss. ”

Mo Yi nodded thoughtfully, and signalled Jiang Yuanrou to continue.

Jiang Yuanrou subconsciously stroked the edges of the two hard magnetic cards in her hand with her fingers, leaving white marks on her soft fingertips. She continued, “In the last instance, male and female players were casted separately, so I was separated from Yuanbai for a while… At that ti, I didn’t want to start the side plot, so I restrained my communication with Yuanbai, so I do not know his experience during that period of ti.”

She paused for a mont. “But when I t him, I felt that he knew more about that instance than I did.”

Jiang Yuanrou’s fingers pressed harder into the edges of the card, and her fingertips turned whiter. “And his understanding was much deeper.”

Mo Yi couldn’t help raising his eyebrows. His gaze turned solemn.

This reminded him of his last instance. In that instance, the other players’ grasp of the clues in that instance was hardly as good as his—except for the other two players who’d deliberately leaked clues to.

And in this instance, Jiang Yuanrou had a unique clue about her last instance.

In addition to what she said just now… Jiang Yuanbai’s in-depth understanding of the entirety of the previous instance…

And the three of them all happened to be reserve mbers of the senior mber club at that ti.

Was this just a coincidence?

Mo Yi lowered his eyes. His long eyelashes drooped, covering his dark eyes. His pale face was calm and indifferent, showing no emotion.

He only heard Jiang Yuanrou continue to say: “My understanding of that instance basically cos from the basent of that house.”

Mo Yi raised his eyes and looked at her with so interest. “The basent?”

Jiang Yuanrou nodded. “There is a secret red door in the basent. We couldn’t enter without a key, but I found a notebook outside the secret door. Although the notes were old and difficult to read, they were very useful.”

“You found the na Edwin in that notebook?” Mo Yi asked.

Jiang Yuanrou gave a “hmm”. She seed as if she was about to say sothing more, but at this mont, there was a ‘ding’ in the elevator.

.

Then the elevator grinded to a halt, its tal walls shaking while the sound of machinery in the background stopped.

Mo Yi raised his head and glanced at the screen embedded on the wall. The number in the small grey-black square had turned into a cold -1 at so point, and the previously moving small triangle had also beco stationary.

Unlike the danger he encountered in the elevator last ti, this ti the elevator reached its destination extrely easily.

The tal door in front of him slowly opened, slowly revealing the world outside the elevator.

It was a long and dark corridor.

There were no lights overhead in the corridor, leaving only a gloomy grey ceiling which was much lower than the -2F and -3F, and it gave people an extrely depressing and cramped feeling which left them feeling suffocated.

Mo Yi turned on the flashlight in his hand and stepped slowly into the corridor, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

—Compared with the other two floors, this floor was really different.

Dirty wallpaper lined the walls. This wallpaper was of neatly arranged green grids, which were almost a dim dark green colour under his light. On the ground was a carpet that had probably not been changed for so long that it appeared greasy.

There were even two small wall lamps on either side, shining dimly in this deep and dense darkness.

The air was musty and dusty, with a sll of decaying wood and woollen carpets.

This floor no longer looked like a horrifying ntal asylum..

It seed like…an ordinary house.

Mo Yi blinked, and even had the illusion that the two floors he experienced just now were just a dream.

He and Jiang Yuanrou stepped out of the elevator one after another. The carpet under their feet felt soft and the tal door of the elevator closed behind them, making a hoarse groan.

The dim yellow light behind them disappeared, leaving only the flashlights in their hands still shining in the entire corridor.

Dead silence spread quietly in the narrow corridor, subrging the figures of the two like a rising tide.
