Outside, the wind and snow howled, and the sound of a knife being sharpened sent chills down everyone's spine.
A cold sweat slid down Ding Wanyu's cheek, but he couldn’t break character. He had to answer the master’s question.
He stiffly opened his mouth: "In order to ensure the thief is suspected of hiding the rose on their person, we are conducting a body search."
"Is that so?" The "Hunter's" tone remained chillingly cold.
The butcher could feel the master's displeasure. He raised his knife, ready to strike at any moment if the "Hunter" gave the order. With one command, he could chop off everyone's head.
Ding Wanyu felt the murderous intent from the "Hunter." He understood that based on the "Hunter's" character, he had a strong possessiveness over Jiang Yan.
However, he didn’t expect the "Hunter" to have murderous thoughts over something so trivial.
After all, in the scenario setup, Jiang Yan, the "sheep," was a pet, and he, as the "corpse driver," was a subordinate.
Would anyone really kill their subordinate just because they touched their cat?
The air in the kitchen grew especially cold and sticky. The players shivered, too afraid to speak.
The atmosphere in the game forum also became tense:
[Wait, why would the "Hunter" have such murderous intent toward the "corpse driver"?]
[It’s obvious the "Hunter" really likes Jiang Yan’s cat.]
[This kind of boss has serious issues!]
[Is the new person just joining the stream? The BOSS in this dungeon definitely shouldn’t be analyzed based on a normal person’s psychology!]
[Could this actually prove that Jiang Yan has something to do with it? After all, he lay in bed for five days, and then yesterday ran downstairs and actively told the "corpse driver" his key information. It seems suspicious.]
[That makes sense! Last night, when we saw Jiang Yan give the "corpse driver" his key info, we thought he was stupid, but maybe he was deliberately misleading them, completing the side quest, and stealing the rose.]
[But the rose surely can’t be an actual flower, right? I think Jiang Yan was right about that—if it were a flower, it would be way too obvious and easy to find.]
[Exactly! Also, roses have a fragrance, so it’s probably a special item related to the rose.]
In the damp, sticky air, the "Hunter's" gaze darkened, and the butcher immediately lifted his butcher knife.
[Really?!]
[Click click! Is it finally going to happen?]
[So unlucky! This "corpse driver" has great quality, and his items are good too. Many organizations want him.]
[Is this really a B-level dungeon? An A-level side quest, an A-level BOSS, and unstable emotions? How can this be defined as B-level?]
[So tragic! So tragic! The players are in trouble, the NPCs are in trouble, except for Jiang Yan.]
Finished! This was the only thought that crossed Ding Wanyu's mind at that moment. He reluctantly closed his eyes.
Yes, he was unwilling.
But at this point, there was nothing he could do. NPCs were different from players. Players might still have the ability to resist the BOSS or other NPCs.
But since NPCs were considered "staff" of the system, their health points were bound to the system and controlled by the main god.
Even if he resisted now, the main system would only tear him apart in a more brutal way.
He had once seen a companion, who entered the game with him, use his own skill items to kill the BOSS during its elimination, only to be torn apart and have his bones sucked dry by vengeful spirits...
So, he resigned himself and closed his eyes, but he was still unwilling.
Now he thought, if only he could have become a player back then, maybe there would still be a chance to fight back.
He hated his own weakness and cowardice. After all these years, he was still like this, unable to even go all out in this "game."
He truly felt unwilling.
The cold wind of the knife made the "corpse driver" feel a chill on his neck. Just as the knife was about to land on the "corpse driver's" neck, a soft, lazy voice interrupted.
"Master."
At this moment, Jiang Yan obediently pounced onto the "Hunter" and softly called out.
The "Hunter" stopped the butcher's hand. His cold gaze immediately softened, and he reached out to embrace Jiang Yan in his arms, saying, "What’s wrong? Yan Yan. How about we kill this person who's trying to bully you?"
"But he's right," Jiang Yan replied.
He knew the "Hunter" was kind to him, and he agreed with the "corpse driver’s" actions. Though he was usually someone who didn’t like to interfere in others’ affairs, when it came to something as critical as this, he naturally wanted to help if he could.
At this, 663 was quite surprised that Jiang Yan would intervene to help: "Aren’t you afraid the BOSS, in a fit of rage, will kill you too?"
"He wants to kill the corpse driver because of me. If I speak up, he will definitely listen," Jiang Yan answered.
"I just didn’t expect you to be such a kind person. It’s a big contrast to your usual lazy personality," 663 said.
"I am a little lazy," Jiang Yan admitted without hesitation, "but I am kind-hearted. Ever since I was young, teachers have taught us to be kind people. What about you? Didn’t you have teachers?"
663: "...Heh, when I went to school, the word 'teacher' didn’t even exist."
Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow, not even trying to hide his amusement. He knew that although 663 was a real-world system, based on his interactions with the person, he didn’t seem like someone from the modern world.
Honestly, his understanding of the real world was slightly skewed, something most people wouldn’t even notice.
But from Jiang Yan's perspective, 663's understanding of the real world seemed more like "learning" rather than "experiencing."
So, from the very beginning, he suspected that 663 wasn't a person from the current world. He just didn’t understand how long the other party had been part of the system.
Just like how real NPCs also have points and can use them to exchange conditions with the gods, this would imply that the real-world system should also have points.
From what 663 said, he must have been here for a very long time—long enough for the concept of history to just have appeared.
But, after all this time, hasn’t he gathered enough points for himself?
In other words, can the players and NPCs really gather enough points and exchange them with the gods?
Or perhaps, can they really leave this game?
"Except for me, no one can take off Yan Yan's clothes." The "Hunter" tightened his hold around Jiang Yan's waist, his green eyes filled with danger.
Jiang Yan tried to comfort him. He gently stroked the horns on the "Hunter's" head and softly said, "It was you who asked me to search for the rose."
The "Hunter" was momentarily speechless.
Everyone in the room couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief for Jiang Yan. Eventually, the "Hunter" gently caressed Jiang Yan's face and said, "Then I'll help Yan Yan check."
Jiang Yan: "...?"
With that, without waiting for Jiang Yan, who was completely out of it, the "Hunter" picked him up in a way as if cradling a child and started walking out.
Before leaving, he cheerfully said to the "corpse driver," "Make sure to check everyone thoroughly. I’ll be waiting for your answer at dusk."
With that, he vanished from their sight, leaving behind a basket of roasted chestnuts on the table.
At that moment, the main system’s broadcast sounded:
[Dungeon: "Sheep’s Forest," Dungeon Progress: 50%]
[NPC: Ding Wanyu, Points Deducted: 100, Reason: System BUG.]
Everyone: "..."
Ding Wanyu: "..."
[What the heck? Shouldn’t system bugs be fixed?]
[What the hell?? Did the main system get a virus?]
[The system hasn't been running normally since yesterday! How is this a bug?!]
[This is terrible! I’m writing a tragic word on Ding Wanyu's leg!!]
[What is this situation? Is the game going to shut down??]
---
Jiang Yan was carried into the second-floor room and gently placed on the bed.
He had just been placed on the bed when he heard the main system's broadcast, but at this moment, he had no time to pay attention to the system's program BUG, because he had to deal with the dangerous goat in front of him.
The “Hunter” looked at the little sheep lying in the soft bed, with a vigilant gaze watching him, but with no way to resist. His green eyes sparkled with excitement.
“Let me help Yan Yan undress and check!” He said, reaching for the bow tie in front of Jiang Yan’s neck.
Yan Yan had personally put on this outfit, but wearing it and undressing felt completely different!
His fingers elegantly untied the bow tie and began to unbutton Jiang Yan’s coat, with excitement in his eyes, like unwrapping a long-awaited gift.
The last time someone undressed him on the bed was over a year ago, and that person was his husband.
Now, he was pinned down by a strange monster on the bed, unable to move, as each piece of clothing was taken off. No matter how “adaptable” Jiang Yan was, he could not accept this.
“Quick! Think of something!” Jiang Yan said anxiously to 663.
663 was silent for a moment: “This is the plot, you have to follow the plot.”
“What the hell is this! This is a hidden rule!” Jiang Yan said.
“Understand, you are an actor now. Don’t actors in dramas kiss strangers?” 663 tried to make an excuse. “Just cooperate, the system will compensate you.”
“The system just deducted 100 points from me!” As he spoke, the “Hunter” had already removed Jiang Yan’s top, exposing the boy’s fair skin to his eyes. At this moment, he truly became a sheep ready for slaughter.
[Wow!!!!!]
[I’m here! The view downstairs is not even worth looking at! I’m coming to see the little beauty!]
[I just came out of an S-level dungeon, seeing such a little beauty really lifts my spirits!]
[Quick, quick, quick! Keep going! Don’t stop!!]
[Heh!!! Damn! This system really has a bug! Can we get more of this kind of scene?!]
[Feeling sorry for the “corpse driver,” but I like this bug from the system!]
The players on the forum were extremely excited as they watched the little beauty getting undressed.
At this moment, the “Hunter”’s gaze darkened slightly, and the next instant, the live broadcast of the "Sheep’s Forest" game was abruptly shut off.
[???? What’s going on?! Where’s my little beauty!]
[Damn!! Is there a BUG now?! Go to hell!!!]
[Trashmain system!!! At a critical moment! You do this?!]
[Maintenance! Hurry, Main God!!]
[Main God, are you there? Your system has malfunctioned!!]
Jiang Yan felt the “Hunter,” who was looking down at him, momentarily lost in thought. He quickly turned over, pulling the blanket up and burying himself under it.
“I’ll do it myself!” Jiang Yan said, watching the “Hunter” vigilantly from beneath the blanket.
When the “Hunter” snapped back to reality, he realized his little sheep had already burrowed into the blanket. For a moment, he was a little disappointed.
He tried to persuade Jiang Yan: “Yan Yan, you can’t undress yourself, let me do it.”
“I can.” Jiang Yan said firmly.
“But…”
The “Hunter” wanted to say something, but at that moment, Jiang Yan stretched out his leg from under the blanket and kicked him: “If you do that again, I’ll be angry.”
He controlled the intensity perfectly, just like a little cat swiping its claws at someone, very much fitting his character.
Or rather, this character was quite suited to Jiang Yan himself.
However, the moment the kick was delivered, the ruthless “Hunter” grabbed Jiang Yan’s ankle, instantly making the little sheep lose all ability to resist.
“Yan Yan is angry,” the “Hunter” said with a smile.
At this moment, Jiang Yan truly understood that saying: “When you’re weak, even your anger is cute.”
“Yes,” Jiang Yan was indeed a little angry, but this anger stemmed from his dignity being trampled, because he was fundamentally a person who rarely got angry.
“Alright then, Yan Yan can undress himself,” the “Hunter” said, a little regretfully.
Saying that, he gently placed a kiss on the red mole on Jiang Yan’s ankle: “Undress and rest well in the blanket, my Yan Yan must be exhausted today.”
When Jiang Yan felt the kiss on his ankle, every hair on his body stood on end.
He quickly kicked around in the air, struggling to free himself from the “Hunter”’s grasp, and wrapped himself tightly in the blanket, like a white cocoon, leaving only his water-blue eyes exposed.
“Aren’t you going to check me?” Jiang Yan asked in a muffled voice, still upset.
“If Yan Yan hid a thorn on his body, how could I not smell it?” the “Hunter” chuckled, “I bet you’ve hidden it somewhere else.”
“It wasn’t me who stole it!” Jiang Yan retorted.
The “Hunter” responded perfunctorily with a couple of sounds, then instructed Jiang Yan to rest properly before closing the door and leaving.
After the “Hunter” left, Jiang Yan exhaled a heavy sigh of relief.
He quickly changed into his pajamas and snuggled into the blanket, then curiously asked 663, “Are all the BOSSes in the dungeon pre-set data?”
“In theory, yes,” 663 replied.
“What about in reality?” Jiang Yan asked again.
“In reality, it should be the same. I’m just a small system with no real authority. I don’t know much about the higher-ups. Why do you ask?” 663 answered.
“It’s nothing, I just feel like your BOSSes are a bit too... full of personality,” Jiang Yan said. “They don’t seem like data at all.”
What kind of data would do such things to other NPCs without players around?
Technically speaking, when players are not present, NPCs are in a state of no audience, kind of like a play that hasn’t started yet.
If the play hasn’t started, there’s naturally no performance—just NPCs standing backstage in a daze, which Jiang Yan felt was normal.
However, it can also be understood that the current side quests require both players and NPCs to participate, which is why there’s more interaction between NPCs and BOSSes.
“The BOSSes, well! The programs naturally have to be much more complicated,” 663 explained.
Jiang Yan turned over, yawned, and then thought about the system bug and how Ding Wanyu was also deducted 100 points: “Yeah, your main god never thought that the main system’s occasional bugs might be caused by the BOSS’s program being too complicated.”
“Ding Wanyu didn’t even care about getting his points deducted, but you should worry about yourself first,” 663 said.
“What are you planning to do now?” 663 asked.
“Now? Sleep,” Jiang Yan replied.
663: “????”
Jiang Yan’s eyelids had already begun to droop. “There’s something the ‘Hunter’ said that I agree with, I’m really exhausted today.”
663: “....”
“No! What are you tired from?! You just went downstairs for some hot cocoa, then chatted with someone for a while, and came back up! You were carried upstairs! What are you tired from?!”
663 said, frustrated: “Have you considered your current situation?!”
“Find a flower before dusk.” Jiang Yan said, “It’s not like I’m the only one looking. There are still six people downstairs, right? I’ll take a nap, it’s not a big deal, and I feel like the Hunter won’t kill me.”
“Who gave you that confidence? Is it the main system that keeps malfunctioning?” 663 asked, confused.
Jiang Yan lazily responded, “Would you kill your cat if it broke your vase?”
—
Jiang Yan woke up because of hunger.
He looked outside at the sky. The dark clouds covered the entire sky, and he couldn't tell what time it was, but his stomach, filled with hunger, made him realize it was probably noon.
“What time is it, 663?” Jiang Yan asked.
“Are you still willing to wake up?” 663 responded.
Jiang Yan thought that the real person system had its perks, but the worst part was that it liked to sarcastically mock him from time to time. Luckily, he had a good temper, otherwise, he would’ve probably argued with this system.
“It’s exactly twelve noon now. The others downstairs have already searched the house several times, but found nothing. Now they’ve split up to search separately,” 663 answered.
Finding a flower in a house like this wasn’t easy. Jiang Yan sat up from the bed and grabbed a chestnut from the bedside, popping it into his mouth.
There was no doubt that the “Hunter” had prepared this for him. Every time at this moment, he doubted that the “Hunter” wasn’t just keeping him like a pet cat, but more like a hamster.
As for chestnuts, he didn’t particularly like them, but he ate them often.
The reason he ate them frequently was that someone had told him that eating more nuts was good for his health. Since he didn’t like other nuts, that person, like a squirrel, always bought chestnuts and stocked them at home.
After filling his stomach, Jiang Yan reluctantly got up and dressed.
Side missions couldn’t be ignored. Although he was sure the “Hunter” wouldn’t kill him, side missions had to be completed.
Even if the “Hunter” didn’t punish him, the main system would apply punishments like deducting points.
Jiang Yan currently had only 100 points left, and his life was hanging by a thread, as the main system would deduct at least 50 points every time.
Although Jiang Yan could use his performance in this round to offset the deduction, would sneaking downstairs last night have been in vain? He had also mysteriously triggered a side mission.
Jiang Yan wasn’t an ambitious person, but he absolutely wouldn’t waste his time on fruitless tasks.
When Jiang Yan came down from the second floor, he didn’t see anyone. The entire house was silent except for his footsteps, which made it feel eerily empty.
This seemed strange to him. The wooden house wasn’t very large; how could six people be inside without making any noise?
“Where is everyone?” Jiang Yan asked 663.
663 answered, “They’re all inside the house. Xue Dun is outside.”
Jiang Yan raised his brow. How could the house feel so empty if everyone was inside?
Xue Dun was outside? Jiang Yan’s mind briefly pictured the image of that chubby middle-aged man.
The “Hunter” had said that if they could use this time to escape the forest, 663 had mentioned that Xue Dun and Wang Yu were people with “tools,” or more accurately, they were people who hadn’t hidden their tools.
It was likely that Xue Dun was trying to give up on the side mission and break through the forest.
—
Xue Dun struggled forward in the thick, quilt-like cotton jacket through the heavy snow in the forest, his nose and mouth filled with the stench of blood.
He couldn’t think much more now; all he could hear was his personal system reporting his escape progress. A crazed excitement spread across his face!
He was going to escape! He was about to escape!!
The wind blew fiercer, snowflakes stinging his face, bringing a pain like being cut by a knife.
In the distance, the sky was dark, surrounded by the dead branches of trees, like a cemetery by a church. Mixed with the wind was the eerie howling of wild beasts.
But Xue Dun dared not listen or think about it.
All he could do now was keep moving forward!
Escape! Escape! If he escaped, he could live!
“Host, keep going! Only 5% left,” the sweet voice of his personal system echoed in his ears, giving him great encouragement.
In the forest filled with orange branches and thick snow, he saw a narrow path quietly waiting not far ahead.
Finally, he saw a road!!
At this moment, Xue Dun felt like he was filled with energy, and tears, frozen by the wind and snow, hung on his eyelashes!
However, the roar of a beast behind him was even closer now.
Along with the terrifying, ghost-like roars, there was also the heavy, rapid sound of footsteps.
Xue Dun couldn’t afford to relax now.
He moved his bulky body with difficulty, running towards the winding path in the forest.
One step, two steps...
"Ugh—!"
The beast’s roar grew louder, the wind carrying it through the forest, the roar surrounding him, making his legs feel weak.
After trudging through the snow for hours, Xue Dun’s body was at its limit, but with his last breath, driven by his survival instincts, he pushed himself towards the path.
Finally, after tremendous effort, he reached the path that hadn’t been consumed by the snow.
The personal system began congratulating him in his ear: “Congratulations, host. Escape progress is at 99%. Only 1% remains.”
Xue Dun smiled. After walking for hours in the snow, his eyes could barely make out anything. Everything appeared white and blurry.
Although, the moment he stepped onto the path, he knew it wasn’t snow-covered ground under his feet but solid earth, yet when he looked toward the end of the path, everything still appeared white.
But, what did it matter?
He had done it! He had escaped from this dungeon! He could earn so many points!
He could make so many wishes come true!
Money! He could have all the money and women!
Let that old woman die! His wishes were about to be fulfilled!
Xue Dun's smile grew wider, and his eyes became more and more frenzied!
Amidst the wind and the roars of wild beasts, he spread his arms and laughed out loud toward the sky!
Thirty years! Thirty years of being useless since his birth!
He was born to succeed!
Now, this world was giving him a second chance to live, wasn’t that proof of it?!
“Host, I suggest you hurry and move forward. The hounds will catch up soon,” the system kindly reminded him.
Only then did Xue Dun stop smiling. He lowered his head and looked up at the sky, excitedly stepping forward.
But just as he took a step, a sweet little girl’s voice suddenly rang out in front of him: “Daddy!”
Xue Dun froze in place, his body immediately covered in a cold sweat.
In disbelief, he looked ahead and saw, through the white mist, a middle-aged woman in a red wool coat holding a little girl, quietly waiting for him.
“Daddy!” The little girl, with two pigtails, looked very cute. She let go of the woman’s hand and opened her arms toward him.
Despite the icy snowstorm, Xue Dun was drenched in sweat. He took an incredulous step back, trembling all over.
“No, no… I’m not your daddy.”
“Daddy!”
In an instant, the girl and the woman in front of him changed form. The girl’s neat pigtails became messy, as if they had been intentionally disheveled. Her beautiful big eyes turned into two bloody sockets, with blood and maggots crawling out, fighting to escape. One of her shoes had fallen off, and her dress was tattered and covered in blood.
Beside her, the woman’s face had lost all features, leaving only a pale, white face. Her hair was disheveled, and she held a bloodied axe in her hands.
“Dad!” The girl’s voice became sharp and piercing!
She began to scream desperately, calling out to the man who stood still, unwilling to move forward.
“Daddy! Daddy!”
“Host, only 1% left in the escape progress! Keep going, don’t give up!” The personal system’s voice became mechanical.
1%, just 1%! As long as he walked through this road, he would succeed! He would escape!
This must be a trick by the game to stop him from escaping!
It was an illusion! Yes, an illusion!
With that thought, Xue Dun gathered his courage and boldly took a step forward.
As soon as he stepped, the woman and the girl in front of him vanished.
He laughed. As expected, it was just an illusion! Nothing could stop him! Not even the dead!
Sweat drenched his forehead as he grinned madly and proudly, continuing his walk forward.
However, the moment he lifted his foot, it froze in place, as if something was holding it back.
He looked down and saw the girl clutching his leg. Her eyes, now hollowed out and filled with blood, stared up at him. Her mouth split open to her ears, and foul, rotting fluid spilled out. "Daddy!"
“No!!” Xue Dun kicked out, trying to shake the girl off, and continue forward.
But the girl clung tightly to his leg. He dragged her along, inch by inch, as he moved forward!
It was an illusion! All of it was an illusion! He was about to succeed! No one could stop him!
The girl cried out in sadness, but Xue Dun ignored her and charged forward.
The woman appeared again at the end of the road, her hair disheveled, her face devoid of features, still holding the bloodied axe in her hand.
This time, her belly was swollen, and her red coat had a hole in it, revealing her bloated, purple stomach.
The belly split open, and an underdeveloped female fetus crawled out, dragging a long umbilical cord attached to the mother. It crawled through the snow toward Xue Dun, calling him with a sweet voice: “Daddy! Daddy!”
Xue Dun forced himself to stay calm!
With every step he took, a little girl crawled out of the woman’s stomach, dragging the umbilical cord. The snow was soaked in blood, and the girls kept calling for him: “Daddy!”
“Go away! Get away from me!”
Xue Dun’s eyes turned red, and he moved forward recklessly.
Finally, with several fetuses clutching his legs and even some crawling up his body, he completely snapped.
“Go away!!! Die!!!”
“Daddy!!” The little girl clinging to his leg began to wail loudly.
In a daze the axe in the woman's hand, not knowing when, arrived in his hand. He pulled the woman's hair with one hand, continuously swinging the axe in the other hand, smashing it down towards the woman one by one.
"You want to harm me! You want to harm me! You still!!!"
In the snow, the man's eyes were red, pulling the woman's hair, desperately chopping her belly with the axe.
A little girl cried and howled, hugging the man's leg, trying to stop him, but was kicked several meters away by the man. Her head hit a nearby stone, blood flowing from her forehead. Her beautiful big eyes lost their sparkle, staring intensely at the man in the distance.
Xue Dun crazily chopped the woman's abdomen dozens of times. The woman did not struggle, nor did she scream.
Finally, Xue Dun grew tired, looked at the motionless woman on the ground, and let go of the axe in despair.
"Hehe... Hehe... You think that just because you crawled out of hell, I will be afraid of you?" Xue Dun crazily laughed as he looked at the motionless, blurred woman on the ground.
At that moment, from the pile of flesh and bones, a little girl who had not fully developed crawled out, opening her mouth towards Xue Dun: "Daddy!"
"Ah--!!!!!"
A tragic scream echoed through the dark woods.
In the snow, a woman, along with a little girl and five underdeveloped female fetuses, began to eat Xue Dun's body.
They had eaten a hole in his stomach, began crawling into his belly, but Xue Dun was still alive, though he no longer had the strength to struggle.
He began to plead with the system: "Help me! Quickly! Help me!"
The system's mechanical voice responded: "Player, please cherish the last opportunity to pass the level. Keep going! If you make it, you'll succeed!"
Xue Dun was in complete despair. He wanted to die, but for some reason, he could not.
He felt the children crawl into his belly one by one, starting to devour his internal organs. The maggots on them crawled into his body, burrowing into his flesh!
At this moment, the woman holding the axe had a face — it was a delicate, fair face, gentle and serene.
Her clothes had changed into a light yellow dress, the same one she wore when they first met. That year, she was 21 years old, just graduated from university. The woman gave him a gentle and sweet smile, just like when they first met.
The woman gave him a gentle and sweet smile, just like when they first met.
She said to Xue Dun word by word: "I also made a wish."
Saying this, she raised the axe in her hand and fiercely struck it down on Xue Dun's head!
[Instance: "Sheep's Forest", Instance Progress: 55%]
[Player: Xue Dun, Escape Failed: Killed by a bear]
Just as he ran into Ding Wanyu and was wandering in the living room of the wooden cabin, Jiang Yan heard this broadcast and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Killed by a bear? Wasn't the player turned into a hunting dog?"
Ding Wanyu replied: "After all, this instance is only 55% developed, and anything can happen."
Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow: "Are you going to collect the corpse? Can I come along to take a look?"
"Are you sure you want to see?" Ding Wanyu asked. "Just a reminder, bears only eat living creatures, so the scene is quite gruesome."
"I think our priority is to find clues," Ding Wanyu said.
"We’ve searched for hours and found nothing, and we lost a player. Now we’ve confirmed that the flower is not a flower. That made me think of something."
"What?" Ding Wanyu asked.
"Now, there are four players left. These four show no flaws. We all saw their performance in the past few days. I don't think starting a side quest would cause their abilities to suddenly rise without leaving any flaws," Jiang Yan said.
Ding Wanyu raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"
"Since the thief may not necessarily be a thief, then why would the thief definitely know they are a thief?"
Saying this, Jiang Yan subtly patted the card that had mysteriously appeared in his pocket.
