105: Chapter 105 The Long Sleeping Palace 32

Luo Yuejian was trembling with rage; there were actors, actual actors!

She was clearly closer to that swarm of bugs, and she was clearly the one who should have been attacked!

She deeply suspected that this swarm of bugs had been bribed by the system; otherwise, why would they ignore the meat right in front of their mouths and insist on eating the one further away? What was the meaning of this?

slacker system: ?

Luo Yuejian watched helplessly as the Man in the Suit was almost submerged in the bug tide, thinking that this wouldn't do. If things continued like this, the Man in the Suit might actually die in the bug mist, and wouldn't that mean she would truly obtain the guaranteed spot for the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game and clear the level unscathed?

How could she allow that?!

Luo Yuejian immediately made up her mind, thinking she had to help the Man in the Suit; she absolutely could not let him die just like that.

However, at this moment, she was still some distance away from the Man in the Suit.

This guy ran so damn fast. Under the supervision of the system, Luo Yuejian hadn't dared to slack off, and she was also trying her best to escape. Yet, even under these circumstances, she simply couldn't catch up to the Man in the Suit.

Luo Yuejian was getting anxious, wondering when on earth she would be able to catch up to the Man in the Suit. What if the Man in the Suit was bitten to death by those little gray bugs while she was still desperately chasing after him?

While chasing anxiously, a flash of inspiration struck Luo Yuejian, and she suddenly remembered the Infinite Card in her pocket.

Previously, after the Infinite Card was accidentally thrown into the hands of the Man in Black Turtleneck, it automatically returned to her hand after a while; after all, as long as it wasn't destroyed, this card couldn't be lost.

Luo Yuejian had previously felt that this ability was extremely annoying and very unfavorable for her mission. But now, she was actually a bit glad that the card could fly back to her hand on its own, so she didn't have to worry about losing it.

It just so happened that the function of the Infinite Card in this round was Corrosion, which should be able to clear a small patch of bugs, at least enough to help the Man in the Suit alleviate some pressure and also intercept him.

When she reached the side of the Man in the Suit, the best outcome would certainly be for the bugs to attack both the Man in the Suit and her together; who knows, she might find an opening through those bugs and then return home to respawn.

A bad outcome would be that the swarm of bugs let both her and the Man in the Suit go. That wouldn't be a loss either; at least there would still be room to struggle.

Luo Yuejian made up her mind, and without delay, she immediately threw the Infinite Card in her hand.

However, her aim was as poor as ever...

She had intended to throw the Infinite Card in front of the Man in the Suit to block his escape and make it easier for her to catch up and share his fate.

However, the force with which she threw the card seemed a bit weak, and the Infinite Card landed straight... on the Man in the Suit's foot...

"Ah!!!" The Man in the Suit let out a shrill scream. The moment his leather shoe made contact with the Infinite Card, it emitted a "hiss" sound, white smoke rose, and the surface of the shoe was instantly eaten away by Corrosion.

Immediately after, it was the Man in the Suit's instep.

In a situation identical to that of the Man in Black Turtleneck at the time, the Man in the Suit's instep was instantly scorched by the Corrosion, and most of the blood was corroded away.

Even though the Man in the Suit kicked the Infinite Card away immediately due to the pain, the injury on his foot was already deep enough to reveal the bone.

This heart-piercing pain was too much for the Man in the Suit to bear. He fell to the ground, clutching his foot with a twisted expression, panting heavily, and roaring in agony.

Taking advantage of this, Luo Yuejian hurried over to the side of the Man in the Suit.

She felt a bit embarrassed herself; after all, she had intended to help, but ended up making things worse.

However, as for feeling guilty or anything of the sort, she really didn't. Perhaps due to innate reasons, Luo Yuejian was somewhat lacking in that kind of emotion.

As it turned out, the bugs really didn't seem to attack Luo Yuejian. When she stood next to the Man in the Suit, they spontaneously dispersed to create a small space, leaving the Man in the Suit a moment to catch his breath.

The Man in the Suit's eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was twisted as he lowered his head—partly from the pain, and partly from despair.

There was no moment more clear to him than now that he was doomed.

He had already begun to regret why he had ever thought about eliminating Luo Yuejian and clearing the level alone.

This terrifying woman was simply not someone he could handle. If he hadn't had that thought back then, perhaps... would he still have had a chance to survive?

He didn't know.

Meanwhile, the alarm in Luo Yuejian's mind had already sounded.

slacker system: "Beep—beep—beep—, Host, please flee from this location as soon as possible and do not engage in negative gaming."

Luo Yuejian looked back and, sure enough, saw that the terrifying blood-red monster had already charged within ten meters of them.

The monster was dripping with blood-red pus all over its body, and although it had no eyeballs, it could accurately pinpoint their location and was currently charging toward them at an astonishing speed.

If nothing went wrong, it would be able to reach them within two seconds.

Luo Yuejian also knew at this moment that she had definitely lost this game again and would have to keep playing.

She was actually getting used to this, but she couldn't help but smile bitterly inside, thinking that this round had clearly been very favorable for her.

Those teammates were all harboring evil intentions, sabotaging and killing each other to compete for the guaranteed spot. In this round, she had to face not only the game's requirements for clearing the level but also the scheming of her teammates; wasn't this a guaranteed losing game?

How could she have won?

Luo Yuejian couldn't figure it out. She sighed in her heart and couldn't help but sincerely remark to the already despairing Man in the Suit: "Actually, I think your initial proposal was quite good."

Hearing Luo Yuejian's words, the Man in the Suit's pupils constricted. He looked up, staring blankly at Luo Yuejian, as if he could see mockery and ridicule on her cold face.

His initial proposal...

The Man in the Suit laughed in despair. He finally understood that even if he hadn't had the intention to sabotage and kill Luo Yuejian in the end, Luo Yuejian would never have let him go.

Because from beginning to end, Luo Yuejian had the same idea as them: to kill the other teammates and obtain the guaranteed spot.

The next second, his head was bitten off in one gulp by the terrifying blood-colored monster, and blood sprayed out.

The white pillar of light rising to the sky behind them surged upward in an instant.

Luo Yuejian did not look back, her figure being submerged in the white light.

"Congratulations on clearing this game."
