Chapter 72 Live Feeding Area - Exchange

The Administrator saw that she didn't seem like she didn't want to eat, but rather looked frightened, so her voice softened slightly: "What on earth is wrong with you?"

Seeing that Bai Xiao still didn't answer, she grew impatient and struck her back with a Ruler, saying harshly, "Are you going to talk or not!"

"I... I just saw someone hiding in the hole under the stairs, and then they went behind the corridor." Bai Xiao looked up pitifully, her large, moist eyes filled with crystalline tears, appearing as though she were forced to speak because of the extreme pain from being struck just now.

"Nonsense, there can't be anyone outside!" The Administrator didn't believe anyone would be hiding outside, but then she thought about how everyone usually liked to slack off and how the management wasn't that strict, so she began to feel suspicious. She looked down at Bai Xiao and felt that this blood livestock was weak and cowardly, not looking like someone who would dare to deceive others.

"Come! Follow me outside to take a look and point out where that person was hiding and which way they went!"

Bai Xiao nodded timidly and stood up to lead the way, bringing the Administrator straight to the empty corridor behind the two dining halls.

"Stop! Where is anyone!" Seeing that there was no one in the corridor, the Administrator was extremely angry. She knew these blood livestock were incredibly stupid.

Bai Xiao came to a halt in front of her. She slowly turned around and gave the other woman a provocative smile. Seeing her sudden change in expression, the Administrator said in surprise, as if realizing something, "You're a Break—"

Unfortunately, before she could finish her sentence, Bai Xiao delivered a swift side kick to her temple. Her body crashed uncontrollably against the corridor wall, her mind went blank, and she slumped limply to the floor.

Bai Xiao didn't dare waste time and immediately stripped her clothes to exchange them with the other's.

Now, at the front of the corridor was a group of people eating and Administrators. On both sides were kitchen staff and Administrators in the Processing Room dealing with Breakers. One mistake could lead to discovery.

But she had thought this through; it wasn't a total impulse. That woman had gone mad at noon, and everyone had been driven back to their rooms on the Third Floor. When she went downstairs to look through the First Floor window, the woman had only just been dealt with and dragged away, showing that processing someone took a certain amount of time, and it wasn't short.

So while this move seemed risky, it actually successfully exploited a dangerous loophole, and the probability of success was quite high.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

The Administrators and the captives in the building were all women, and their heights and builds weren't that different. Especially once dressed in the loose Administrator uniform and wearing the Headgear, it was impossible to tell them apart at a glance.

Bai Xiao put on the Administrator's Mask. She rolled the unconscious Administrator over to face the floor and then grabbed her under the armpits to drag her toward the Processing Room.

She didn't plan to drag her inside for an injection. After all, the Administrators' faces were covered, while the captives' faces were exposed. She dragged the person directly toward the room with the Van.

Just as she reached the door, an Administrator who had finished processing the previous Breaker happened to come out. Seeing Bai Xiao dragging another person, she said in surprise, "How is there another one?"

Through the thick Mask, voices weren't very clear, so Bai Xiao wasn't afraid of being easily recognized. She said in a muffled voice, "Another one talking nonsense on the way downstairs. She's already been dealt with."

The person didn't suspect anything and simply nodded to her before leaving.

Seeing the other person walk away, Bai Xiao dragged the body into the room and laid it on the floor. She still didn't know how to open the Van.

Following the sequence, the first Breaker was placed in the first vehicle. Now that the first two were occupied, she walked to the third. The Van was sealed, and at first glance, she couldn't see where the door was.

Bai Xiao circled the vehicle and finally spotted a black button near the wheels. She pressed it, and the Van immediately activated. The part of the body near the ground opened, and an iron plate slid out, making it easy to push someone inside.

After pushing the person in, Bai Xiao didn't immediately press the button to close the Van.

She was hesitating, or rather, she was psyching herself up.

The Administrator she had replaced was only knocked out. If she didn't kill her, the woman would wake up sooner or later and cause a commotion in the Van. So she had to die, or Bai Xiao would be in danger.

But whether in reality or in the game, Bai Xiao had never killed anyone. Although she knew the people in the game might not be real, a living, human-like being was right before her, lying there defenselessly.

Bai Xiao's hand on the sword hilt tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened. Finally, her own survival won out. She stiffly raised the sword, closed her eyes, then opened them and took a deep breath. She steeled her heart and thrust the sword into the woman's neck. To avoid blood spraying, she specifically avoided the main artery and only severed the neck bone.

The person was in a deep coma and died without much pain. Her body just twitched physiologically a few times before becoming still.

She had really killed someone. It was an indescribable feeling; her body felt tight, her mind was momentarily blank, and only her heart pounded violently. A sense of absurdity and detachment spread through her body.

The person died so quietly, as if she were sleeping rather than dead. The room was silent, as if what had just happened wasn't a cruel act. Only her thundering heart told her that she had indeed killed someone.

Mechanically, she wiped the blood from her sword onto the corpse's clothes. Blood slowly flowed from the woman's neck.

The Administrator's blood was actually purple!

Bai Xiao was shocked to discover another type of human blood. Perhaps the blood of the people here was different from the real world. Her mind, which had been unable to calm down due to the killing, gradually returned to normal.

Recalling that her own blood was blue, she couldn't help but think of the game's hint.

[What does it matter if the blood is different? All are equal before life.]

It seemed this game divided factions by blood color. She clearly belonged to the Blue-Bloods, and the Blue-Bloods clearly had a lower status.

Bai Xiao pressed the button again, and the Van closed. Fortunately, the body of the Van was sealed, and no blood seeped out after a short wait.

She had already delayed for quite a while and couldn't stay any longer. She finished her task and quickly left to return to the dining hall.

The Administrator on duty at the same table saw her return alone and asked suspiciously, "Why did you come back alone?"

Bai Xiao answered calmly, "It was a Breaker. She lied about wanting to go out alone to escape, so she was dealt with by me and the two Administrators in the Processing Room."

The Administrators clearly didn't care much about the captives, as if the one who died was as insignificant as a chicken or a duck.

Hearing Bai Xiao's explanation, the other person didn't ask further.

After the people they privately called blood livestock finished eating, it was free time, which was when the Administrators began their meal.

Bai Xiao noticed that even when only Administrators were present, they didn't take off their Headgear. They only unzipped the opening at the mouth to start eating.

Seeing this, she breathed a deep sigh of relief. She had been afraid they would have to remove their Headgear. If they could, these people must have seen each other before, and she would have been exposed. She had even been thinking of an excuse to avoid eating.

Although she didn't know why the people here always covered their heads and faces, this rule undoubtedly provided her with great convenience.

After the meal, the blood livestock's free time was also up, and everyone returned to the Third Floor together.

"Admin No. 23, you've passed your room. Why didn't you go in just now?"
