The two of them hurriedly entered Residential Building No. 3.
Then—
They encountered Fatty Chen Ze's team in the third-floor corridor of the third residential building.
Clearly, they were the most unfortunate group among the several teams.
Fatty Chen Ze, who had enthusiastically greeted them when they first entered the ga, now looked sowhat pale. The hem of his sweatshirt was soaked and stained with traces of blood.
The ex-soldier Liang Weiguo beside him wasn't doing much better either, his brows constantly furrowed, his aura extrely low, and his body covered with many additional wounds.
In contrast, Xiao Gui'an and Xu Zisheng, who were initially the least favored, appeared uninjured and their ntal state wasn't dispirited.
It seed Chen Ze and Liang Weiguo's experiences hadn't been ideal.
This was only the first round, with two more rounds remaining, and it was unclear how they would manage to hold on.
"It's just you two, I thought that wretched thing had caught up..." Fatty let out a sigh of relief when he saw the two figures erging from the shadows, then said with so ferocity, "If it really dared to chase us here, I'd fight with my life to teach it a lesson."
On his left hand, he wore brass knuckles that glead coldly, seemingly stained with so fine at paste and bloodstains.
His right hand had stuffed sothing into his pocket, making it bulge.
"How's your mission progress? Any clues?..."
"If we keep playing like this, I don't know how we'll survive!"
"Our luck really hasn't been great, maybe we should team up for the next part!" Seeing how the two could still appear sowhat composed in this environnt, Chen Ze began to entertain other ideas.
He pulled open his sweatshirt, revealing the wound that was still bloody and looked only briefly treated. If not for this fatty's thick skin, it would likely be much worse.
Fatty Chen Ze grumbled and cursed, each word seeming sincere and easily evoking empathy.
"We got ambushed, let tell you, you definitely need to watch out for that kid..."
"By the way, where else do you think we could find those unlucky things..."
Xu Zisheng maintained a concerned expression on the surface, but his eyes were cold deep down. He didn't expose the other party.
Chen Ze was clearly trying to get sothing for nothing, wanting to follow them. If they could complete the mission, everyone would be happy; if not, he and Gui Yi would only beco stepping stones for the others.
That familiar stench of rotten malice was truly disgusting.
"We could exchange so information or sothing, going back and forth, probably only a few places to hide..."
Given Xiao Gui'an and Xu Zisheng's current situation, they completely didn't need to bring Chen Ze along.
Still team up together?
The more people, the bigger the target, and the greater the chance of exposure.
When the identities switch in the second round, the best choice would be to act alone.
Pray not to be found, let others beco the scapegoats.
Their search mission was already completed, and they had obtained clues. They could likely find the [Real Ghost] on the fourth floor. Before the second round of Hide and Seek begins, going to the rooftop to write the [Real Ghost]'s na could end this instance.
Seeing that Xu Zisheng kept deflecting his words without revealing any information or showing any inclination to cooperate, Chen Ze secretly gritted his teeth, realizing he had encountered tough opponents.
He initially thought they were easy-to-handle students or sothing, but who knew they had so skills.
He changed his approach and began promising benefits, "After we get out of this instance, I'll..."
Whether they could survive the instance was still a question. If they really got out, the world is so big, where would they find him to collect benefits?
Such verbal promises were the least valuable.
However, just because Xu Zisheng wasn't taking the bait didn't an the student [Gui Yi] wouldn't.
Although Chen Ze's promises were completely useless to Xiao Gui'an, who wasn't even from the sa world, it was different for [Gui Yi].
It was ti for the cannon fodder to act foolishly and seek death. Xiao Gui'an rolled up his sleeves, determined to put on a grand performance.
Thanks, bro, for the acting opportunity.
[Gui Yi] seed persuaded and moved closer, his eyes filled with greed and ignorance, "Really? Brother Chen, I didn't realize you were so accomplished in reality. Nice to et you, I'm..."
A third-rate student, inexperienced in the world yet wanting to make sothing of himself, ended up in a C-level instance on his first try. But he happened to encounter reliable people—whether this was fortunate or unfortunate remained unclear.
Chen Ze glanced at Xiao Gui'an several tis, laughing inwardly at this youth who looked foolish and revealed his own situation without any caution.
[Gui Yi] briefly explained most of the situation to the other party, even sharing the relevant clues he had obtained. Except for information about his [Writer] identity and so of Xu Zisheng's thods, he had pretty much spilled everything.
Xiao Gui'an had his back to Xu Zisheng, not daring to look back at his expression. He tried to see Xu Zisheng's reaction through the reflection in Chen Ze's small, gleaming eyes.
But unexpectedly, Xu Zisheng, who had just refused to say anything, remained completely silent and didn't comnt on [Gui Yi] sharing the clues.
Looking at Xu Zisheng's calm expression but slightly lowered aura, Chen Z once again inwardly mocked the boastful [Gui Yi] who was chasing impractical small gains.
If discord grew between the two of them, that would be best indeed.
This talkative kid was noisy and inexperienced—if caught, he could buy more ti.
As for benefits after getting out... ha, who would believe that these days.
Seeing that [Gui Yi] was about to reveal all his assets if he continued talking, Xu Zisheng finally grabbed his collar and pulled him away from Chen Ze, his tone colder, "That's enough, we need to go to the fourth floor."
He finally couldn't take it anymore.
Xiao Gui'an thought that if he wasn't stopped soon, he wouldn't know what else to say.
But the act must go on.
[Gui Yi] looked sowhat impatiently at Xu Zisheng, his expression carrying so resentful hostility, "It's not like we're short on ti..."
He had just been enthusiastically discussing with Chen Ze about how to conduct multi-level marketing and do business after getting out—the other party even said he'd bring him along—
"Coming or not?" Xu Zisheng released [Gui Yi]'s collar and asked coldly.
Those deep, dark eyes seed capable of seeing through people's hearts, making Xiao Gui'an's heart inexplicably tremble.
His acting should be fine, but Xu Zisheng's reaction was sowhat strange. It seed his performance needed more consideration. After all, the other party was the so-called 'main character'—using ordinary people's standards to asure himself apparently wasn't sufficient.
"Coming, coming..." Facing Xu Zisheng, [Gui Yi] was still sowhat intimidated and imdiately nodded.
He quickly followed Xu Zisheng, his words still carrying confusion and so resentnt, "Helping each other ans greater chances of survival, right?..."
Xu Zisheng looked at Xiao Gui'an with a strange expression, glancing at him several tis, "You... are you truly foolish or pretending to be?"
"Huh? How can you say that about , my brain works perfectly well!" As soon as Xu Zisheng spoke, Xiao Gui'an realized the other was tentatively confirming sothing. Why?
He pondered—his performance should be completely flawless. What caused the other to have this skewed perception?
Xiao Gui'an found it hard to imagine that when he wasn't completely imrsed in his performance, his true emotions could actually be detected.
No matter how flawless his facial expressions were, they were useless before a cheat-like detector.
As they headed upstairs, Chen Ze watched them from behind with a gloomy gaze. When Xiao Gui'an looked back, he had put on a slightly worried expression again.
Although Xiao Gui'an couldn't sense the other's emotions, he could vaguely see ghostly energy surrounding the other that didn't belong to him—clearly, the other had obtained sothing else.
What a despicable guy. Even though he was acting, if there really were such a student, he'd probably be devoured completely, bones and all.
But could such a guy add sothing to his performance?
"Gurgle—"
When the dim light fell on Xiao Gui'an's face, the half of his face in shadow seed to contort montarily. The flesh on his face tore open, sharp fangs struggling against his cheek, as if wanting to devour sothing.
Chen Ze's body trembled slightly. When he looked again, it was just [Gui Yi] hurriedly looking back with a slightly ingratiating, hinting smile—no trace of that eerie, terrifying appearance.
Watching the other clumsily follow Xu Zisheng after looking back, Chen Ze explained it to himself.
Damn this cursed place, making him hallucinate!
He touched the thing in his right pocket. As long as he could bring this out, he'd definitely strike it rich!
