122: Chapter 122 Alice's Doll Tea Party 15

The Little Girl with a Crown remembered her task, and her brows couldn't help but furrow slightly; what if the White-haired Girl's task was also to kill a player...

Remembering how Luo Yuejian had followed her upstairs, her expression tightened, and a trace of fear arose deep within her heart.

If she were to go against this White-haired Girl, she really wasn't confident she could survive.

No, she gritted her teeth, thinking that she must find an opportunity to probe the White-haired Girl later.

If it really was the worst-case scenario she had envisioned, she had to be prepared in advance!

Suppressing the churning thoughts in her mind, the Little Girl with a Crown analyzed seriously: "We have now collected two clues regarding the Old Duke; one is that the Old Duke seems to be looking for something, and the other is that the Old Duke looks very similar to one of the players."

"However, the information we received from the very beginning did not mention that the Old Duke has any kinship with any player..."

After a moment of contemplation, she looked at Luo Yuejian, "I am wondering if these two clues can be connected? Is it possible that the person the Old Duke is looking for is this character who looks so much like him?"

She looked at the painting again, "Perhaps a relative, or a lost child or something. The Old Duke has no heirs, right? He certainly wouldn't want his property to fall into someone else's hands."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuejian understood, and the Little Girl with a Crown's speculation made a lot of sense!

She looked at this Little Girl with a Crown, thinking to herself that she was quite capable, and deserved to be an experienced player who had cleared four games.

When she saw these clues laid out before her, her mind had been completely blank, and she had no way to connect them at all.

Luo Yuejian sighed inwardly at the gap between people; it was a pity her task was not to clear the game, but to slack off and seek death, otherwise she would definitely stick close to her.

Luo Yuejian felt regretful in her heart, but nodded in agreement on the surface, "It's possible."

Having received Luo Yuejian's approval, the Little Girl with a Crown was also happy. Although she was quite confident in her reasoning, being acknowledged by the big shot in her eyes still made her feel quite happy.

Feeling the atmosphere was just right, the Little Girl with a Crown rolled her eyes and said nonchalantly, "This clue seems to touch upon the Old Duke's secret. I wonder if the Old Man with a Cane's task is related to this secret?"

"Perhaps." Luo Yuejian answered ambiguously.

If this secret was truly related to the Old Man with a Cane's task, was her task to kill the princess also related to the Grand Duchess's secret?

Luo Yuejian thought to herself that perhaps later she could find a way, through this aspect, to guide the Little Girl with a Crown to discover her own task.

Seeing that Luo Yuejian didn't respond, the Little Girl with a Crown bit her lip, changed her approach, and continued, "I wonder if my task is also related to the secret hidden behind the identity of the princess?"

She took a couple of quiet glances at Luo Yuejian, seeing her with her eyes lowered and a cold expression. She knew that if she kept beating around the bush, this White-haired Girl would probably keep playing tai chi with her and wouldn't reveal any information.

It seemed she had to be more direct.

The Little Girl with a Crown steeled herself and said, "However, my secret shouldn't have anything to do with you, but I don't know if your secret has anything to do with me..."

After speaking, she looked nervously at Luo Yuejian, while her feet shifted slightly towards the direction of the staircase.

As long as Luo Yuejian showed any sign of something being wrong later, she would immediately run away without hesitation.

Hearing the Little Girl with a Crown's words, a flash of inspiration hit Luo Yuejian, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Finally waited for you ~ Glad I didn't give up ~

Holy crap, has this person finally started asking about her task? She had finally found an opportunity to reveal her task!

Luo Yuejian immediately began to think about how to respond to the Little Girl with a Crown's question.

Stating her task outright was definitely not okay; if she really did that, the slacker system would probably laugh out loud.

Luo Yuejian rolled her eyes, and a thought suddenly occurred to her. She said indifferently, "I cannot tell you."

She was feeling pleased with herself, thinking that she had been so obvious; if her task had nothing to do with the Little Girl with a Crown, she would have absolutely replied about which character her task was related to just now.

Even if she was worried that telling others about her task might be detrimental to herself, the answer just now should have been something like "It has nothing to do with you"!

But now that she was being vague, it was clearly because her task was related to this Little Girl with a Crown, which was why she refused to tell her.

Hehe, she didn't believe that under these circumstances, this Little Girl with a Crown could still fail to see through her meaning.

Luo Yuejian chuckled inwardly, thinking that she was really too smart this time! This time, the Little Girl with a Crown would definitely have to be careful and guard against her, and it was even very likely that she would strike first to protect herself!

Then she would secretly cooperate with the Little Girl with a Crown, complete the system task by dying, and resurrect back to the Real World!

Just as Luo Yuejian had thought, after hearing Luo Yuejian say "I cannot tell you," the Little Girl with a Crown's heart did indeed skip a beat, and she turned her feet, ready to run away.

However, in a flash of lightning, the nerves in her brain suddenly tightened, and she realized something was wrong.

No, given the intelligence of the White-haired Girl before her, how could she so easily let her discover that her target was herself?

The Little Girl with a Crown narrowed her eyes and put herself in her shoes; if she were the White-haired Girl and her target was herself, when asked about her task, she would likely just make up a random task object to lower her guard.

However, Luo Yuejian's answer was "I cannot tell you."

This answer, on the contrary, proved that her target was likely not herself.

But at this point, there was another point that didn't make sense; since the White-haired Girl's target wasn't herself, why didn't she just say so?

The Little Girl with a Crown began to ponder, going through the logic from the beginning again.

A moment later, her train of thought became clear bit by bit, and a smile reappeared on her face.

She understood.
