149: Chapter 149 Abandoned Unfinished Building 2
At this moment, Luo Yuejian was in a state of extreme nervousness, having just entered the game and needing to face the gazes of five strangers once again.
Therefore, the moment the Messy-Haired Man looked over at her, Luo Yuejian immediately averted her gaze; as long as she didn't make eye contact with anyone, she could pretend that no one was looking at her...
As Luo Yuejian shifted her gaze, the Messy-Haired Man, who had been watching her movements all along, instantly seemed to realize something and swept his gaze toward the direction Luo Yuejian was looking, but he didn't see any clues.
In that direction, there was only a wall with an open door on it; other than that, it could be said that there was nothing else.
The Messy-Haired Man couldn't help but frown and looked at Luo Yuejian again: "Did you discover something?"
Hearing the Messy-Haired Man's questions twice, the other players' gazes also focused on Luo Yuejian. The Tattooed Man couldn't help but say impatiently: "What did you discover? If you found something, hurry up and say it. If we keep dawdling, all of us will die!"
Luo Yuejian: ?
At this moment, in Luo Yuejian's exclusive livestream room for the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game:
[With a loud bang in the sky, Moon Goddess makes a shining entrance!]
[Moon Goddess, Moon Goddess, where are you? I miss you so much. I can't see your figure, I can't hear your voice, my heart hurts so much, so much...]
[A day without seeing you is like 358375984 autumns~]
[A bunch of drama queens upstairs, confirmed.]
[This round finally isn't all old players; watching a bunch of old fossils scheming against each other gives me a headache.]
[Old fossils, hahaha, hahaha. Moon Goddess says, "I've remembered you" λ _ λ.]
[Whoa, the start of this game round is very exciting; it has a bit of that Saw vibe.]
[Bondage play~ Hehe~]
[Hehe~]
[Hehe your head! I'm going to fly-kick you!]
[Yo, this Messy-Haired Man has some skills; he actually saw the unusualness of Moon Goddess right away.]
[I bet one Star Coin that Moon Goddess definitely discovered something.]
[I bet 100 Star Coins that Moon Goddess already knows how to solve the current predicament.]
[Which sucker would bet with you guys?]
[There are, brother, there are. Go check the main livestream room; there's a group of people there barking like dogs.]
[I'm dying of laughter. I'm going to the main livestream room to make some money; I'll come back later to tip Moon Goddess~]
[Holy crap, are you a genius? A new way to get rich, learned it, learned it!]
She wanted to ask that too. What did she discover? Why were all these players suddenly looking at her?
Luo Yuejian was practically wearing a mask of pain inside. She now desperately hoped to find a way to divert these players' attention, so she quickly denied it flatly: "Didn't discover anything, no need..."
Luo Yuejian had originally wanted to say that they didn't need to look at her, she was just a newbie and didn't know anything.
But once the words were out, she felt there was no need to add that sentence.
Luo Yuejian was still planning to mislead the other players using her own logic in the later stages of the game. If she admitted to being a newbie now, then later on, which player would believe her words?
Luo Yuejian didn't believe that the players in this round would be eliminated so early, dying under the gears above their heads. After all, there were those two old players leading the team, and looking at the Messy-Haired Man, Luo Yuejian felt he seemed like a pro player.
Judging from the Messy-Haired Man's previous performance, he seemed very calm.
And the most important point was that this Messy-Haired Man possessed a trait that every pro player Luo Yuejian had encountered before hadβhe liked to overthink.
In the previous game rounds Luo Yuejian had experienced, whether it was the Man in the Suit and the Fragile Girl she met in the first round, the Wolf-tail Guy she met in the second round, the Short-sleeved Youth and the Gloomy Youth she met in the third round, or the other powerful players she met in later games...
Perhaps because smart people often overthink, these players all exhibited a common trait: every time they saw her do any action, there was a probability they would inexplicably associate it with real clues.
Luo Yuejian had suffered enough because of this.
It was also for this reason that Luo Yuejian had the idea to use her own incorrect actions to mislead these powerful players, wasting their time and energy, thereby achieving her goal of making the game fail.
Ever since this Messy-Haired Man inexplicably thought she had discovered a clue, Luo Yuejian instantly recalled many previous scenes and immediately realized that this guy was very likely a pro player.
Therefore, Luo Yuejian still hoped to maintain an inscrutable image in front of this guy.
Thinking of this, Luo Yuejian chose to remain silent.
After she finished saying those few words with an expressionless face, the other players looked at each other, especially the Messy-Haired Man.
Intuition told him that this White-haired Girl in front of him had definitely discovered something; it was just that he couldn't discern any clues from Luo Yuejian's cold face, which lacked any other expression.
He didn't know why this White-haired Girl had clearly discovered a clue but wouldn't tell them about her discovery.
He wasn't clear about what this White-haired Girl was actually thinking, but in an instant, many ominous thoughts flashed through his mind.
For example... was this White-haired Girl in front of him planning to wait until the gears above their heads fell, then use an item to save her own life and clear the level in one go relying on the safety mechanism?
If that were really the case, having clearly thought of a way to break the current predicament but not telling them, instead planning to just let them die and then clear the game, then this White-haired Girl was far too insidious...
The look in the Messy-Haired Man's eyes couldn't help but darken.
Seeing that she had clearly said she hadn't discovered anything, yet the Messy-Haired Man's gaze was still fixed firmly on her, Luo Yuejian felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
She shifted her body uncomfortably, trying to avoid the Messy-Haired Man's burning gaze.
However, just at this moment, the Gentle Man with Glasses, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "I understand."
After hearing the Gentle Man with Glasses's words, the other players also immediately looked over.
At this moment, the sharp, vertical gears above the players' heads had already descended by about half a meter from their starting position.
At this rate, it was estimated that in another half an hour, those terrifying, sharp saw blades would be able to tear the players in two. Therefore, the players were all feeling somewhat anxious now.
Upon hearing that the Gentle Man with Glasses seemed to have found a way to untie the ropes, the Tattooed Man immediately said: "What do you understand? Did you think of how to untie the ropes on us?"
The Gentle Man with Glasses had a calm expression and nodded, "If you carefully observe the two sharp gears on each concrete pillar above, you will be able to discover that there is a certain distance between the two gears."
Upon hearing this, the players immediately raised their heads to look at the sharp gears rotating above.
The sharp gears above the concrete pillars that were binding the players were embedded in the pillars. Because they were vertical gears, to facilitate rotation and downward movement, less than half of them were embedded in the pillars.
This resulted in the distance between the two gears on the same pillar not being particularly close.
The concrete pillars binding the players, acting as load-bearing beams for this space, had a very large surface area, and the two gears on symmetrical sides of them were almost a person's width apart.
Wait...
The Messy-Haired Man seemed to realize something; his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he stared intently at the gap between the two gears above, falling into deep contemplation.
After a long while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he blurted out: "Good heavens, so that's how it is!"
