Chapter 649: Chapter 649: Zero
Pan Xiaoxin had his own plan. Being small and weak, he couldn’t compete with these adults, so he arrived late intentionally to avoid his hazelnuts being stolen on the road.
In this way, he could not only lower his profile, but also not worry about theft, as other players had already settled their ga.
However, Pan Xiaoxin didn’t expect to see Fu Miaoxue again upon reaching the cabin, and in such a guise…
Pan Xiaoxin was a bit dumbfounded.
Others didn’t recognise Fu Miaoxue, but he did, and he certainly could distinguish between players and NPCs!
“Hey, Kid! Hurry up and put the hazelnuts in the bamboo basket!” the stout man impatiently urged, “Don’t waste ti, how co a kid like you is allowed to participate in the ga? Your parents really are careless!”
Pan Xiaoxin pursed his lips, his little face tense.
As for whether his parents were careless or not, he didn’t know, but this big guy clearly didn’t care.
Pan Xiaoxin lifted the heavy bamboo basket with great difficulty, then slowly walked towards Fu Miaoxue. Looking at the two large bamboo baskets beside her, he couldn’t help but admire her audacity.
He purposefully dragged out his arrival until the last possible mont, and now, the Inspector could appear at any ti. Wasn’t Fu Miaoxue afraid of being exposed?
If these players found out that she was playing tricks…
The consequences were unimaginable.
Pan Xiaoxin silently looked at Fu Miaoxue, his complex gaze saying it all.
Fu Miaoxue also looked at him, her eyes faintly carrying laughter and a sense of triumph.
Just at that mont, the door of the cabin creaked open—
The Puppet Master, holding a marionette, walked out from inside.
Wearing a red top hat, a royal blue vest and black trousers, and a pair of green boots, the Puppet Master held a marionette dressed identically to himself, sophisticated and flashy.
“Oh, it seems everyone has their hazelnuts ready, Jamie, we have work to do,” the Puppet Master said to the marionette in his hand.
The marionette was lifelike, its jaw opening and closing and speaking in a childlike voice: “Understood, Jack, we need to count the number of hazelnuts. Um… let’s start with the player who has the least!”
The Puppet Master nodded, “Let’s do as you said. Any players who do not have enough hazelnuts cannot participate in the Maze War, and can be eliminated imdiately.”
Every player had a number after entering the ga.
The marionette opened and closed its jaw: “Number 14, zero hazelnuts, eliminated!”
A man in the crowd looked shocked, he looked down at his number on his body, before he could speak, his body vanished before everyone’s eyes.
“Number 23, zero hazelnuts, eliminated!” the marionette continued.
Another person widened his eyes in shock, “That’s impossible… I, I clearly have so many hazelnuts…”
And he disappeared.
The crowd began to get restless, suspicious glances being cast at Fu Miaoxue.
The marionette: “Number 8, zero hazelnuts, eliminated!”
Number 8, furiously and shockingly pointed at Fu Miaoxue: “I have hazelnuts! My hazelnuts have already been settled in the bamboo basket!”
The Inspector or the Inspector’s puppet showed no interest in his explanation, and the body of Number 8 vanished.
Everyone finally felt sothing was wrong and walked towards Fu Miaoxue, questioning: “Hey! What the hell is going on?! Didn’t we already give our hazelnuts to the Inspector’s assistant?!”
“Assistant?” The marionette looked up at the Puppet Master, “Dear Jack, aside from , do you have any other assistants?”
Before the Puppet Master could answer, Fu Miaoxue suddenly kicked over the bamboo basket! Then with the speed of lightning, she picked up another basket of hazelnuts and ran into the woods!
A basket of hazelnuts spilled all over the ground!
Everyone was shocked!
“Kid! Run!” Fu Miaoxue had already rushed into the woods, with only her voice coming through.
Pan Xiaoxin instantly sprang up, grabbed his own hazelnuts, and ran towards the woods!
The crowd was incensed!
“Damn! Chase her!”
“Hurry up and catch that guy!”
