159: Chapter 159 Abandoned Unfinished Building 12

After realizing she had accidentally kicked that mineral water bottle to the feet of the Gentle Man with Glasses, Luo Yuejian felt so embarrassed she could curl her toes into the ground.

Damn it, she really just kicked it casually! Luo Yuejian stiffened, thinking she had to say something, or at least explain that it wasn't intentional.

But she couldn't think of what to say for a moment. After struggling for a long time, she whispered: "That mineral water bottle... is too light."

What Luo Yuejian meant to say was that because the mineral water bottle was too light, she had accidentally kicked it toward the Gentle Man with Glasses.

She really didn't mean to!

But her voice was really too quiet. When the Gentle Man with Glasses heard what she said, he only saw Luo Yuejian's cold eyes, which seemed to see through everything, as she said: "...Too light."

Too light? What was too light?

He frowned and repeated it in a low voice: "Too light..."

At this moment, the other players gathered around. After all, the shout from the Gentle Man with Glasses just now had really given them a fright.

They couldn't help but crowd over, wanting to ask the Gentle Man with Glasses what exactly he had discovered.

Once they got close to the Gentle Man with Glasses, they first saw the mineral water bottle filled with murky liquid in his hand, and then they heard him muttering: "Too light."

A thought immediately arose in everyone's minds, the same thought as the Gentle Man with Glasses—Too light? What was too light?

The Girl in Pink Jeans couldn't help but ask: "What is too light? Do you mean the mineral water bottle in your hand?"

The Gentle Man with Glasses was stunned. He had also previously thought that the "too light" mentioned by Luo Yuejian referred to this mineral water bottle. However, he couldn't figure out what use this mineral water bottle would have, even if it were heavier.

He couldn't help but frown and look at the other players: "What do you think would happen if this mineral water bottle were filled with water? Or rather, what use would it have?"

The Girl in Pink Jeans thought he was asking her, so she racked her brain for a moment and asked tentatively: "Can it help us test for traps?"

She had kept in mind the Messy-Haired Man's two attempts to test for traps earlier. After all, if the Messy-Haired Man hadn't thrown a piece of glass out the first time, they probably would have lost a member immediately.

The Girl in Pink Jeans thought that if she could leave this game alive this time, she would definitely remember this detail in the next round and test for traps before taking any action.

So when the Gentle Man with Glasses asked her what the water bottle could do, the Girl in Pink Jeans subconsciously thought of this.

She had just said this answer casually and didn't think it was correct, after all, she hadn't really thought it through.

However, after hearing this, the expression of the Gentle Man with Glasses suddenly froze.

Gradually, a flash of realization crossed his eyes behind his lenses: "So that's it! You're right, it can help us test for traps!"

The Messy-Haired Man listened to the conversation between the Gentle Man with Glasses and the Girl in Pink Jeans, his brows furrowed tightly; he couldn't understand at all what the two of them were talking about.

Especially the sentence the Gentle Man with Glasses said later, "It can help us test for traps."

Were there still traps to test for? Hadn't he just tested that the stairs wouldn't trigger any traps?

Could it be that there were details he hadn't noticed?

Wait... The Messy-Haired Man recalled the phrase "Too light" that the Gentle Man with Glasses had said... It was as if his mind had been struck, and in an instant, he realized something...

Could it be? That "Too light" actually referred to the piece of glass he had thrown down earlier being too light?

The Messy-Haired Man fell into deep thought. The piece of glass he had thrown earlier was indeed not very large; after all, he had already used the largest piece when testing for traps behind the door.

Before, he had thought that a simple test would be enough to see if there were traps on the stairs, but now, thinking about it carefully, the stairs were meant for people to walk on, and the difference between a person's weight and the weight of a piece of glass was clearly worlds apart.

What if the stairs required enough weight to trigger a trap, causing a collapse or something? What then?

At the thought of such a scenario, a wave of lingering fear suddenly welled up in the Messy-Haired Man's heart.

"You're right. The glass piece I used to test earlier was too light. Compared to a human's weight, the difference is too great, and it's very likely that it didn't test for the real trap at all. We should find something heavier to test with."

He looked at the Gentle Man with Glasses with some gratitude: "Thanks to you for thinking of this point; otherwise, someone might have lost their life later because of my negligence."

Hearing his thanks, the Gentle Man with Glasses shook his head: "This wasn't entirely my idea."

After saying this, he looked at Luo Yuejian, his eyes filled with admiration: "Thank you for reminding me just now. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have thought that testing for traps requires considering the actual circumstances."

He was genuinely full of admiration for Luo Yuejian. The strength this person had displayed from the start of the game to now was truly admirable.

With such meticulous observation skills, he couldn't help but ask: "May I ask, how many games have you played?"

Luo Yuejian was a bit bewildered by the series of actions from these players just now.

She herself didn't know at all what had just happened and couldn't figure out the situation.

Clearly, she had just accidentally kicked the mineral water bottle to the feet of that Gentle Man with Glasses and had already explained it, but the matter suddenly developed in a strange direction...

First, the Gentle Man with Glasses started talking to himself, and then the players had a conversation that sounded like gibberish to her, leaving Luo Yuejian completely confused.

Until now, with the Gentle Man with Glasses looking at her with that strange gaze, Luo Yuejian finally understood.

She was expressionless. Although she didn't know what she had done just now to give these guys the illusion that she had provided some clue, but...

Whatever. Luo Yuejian chuckled inwardly. She was already used to this kind of situation. You can imagine whatever you want, I will remain unmoved.

Upon hearing the Gentle Man with Glasses ask her how many games she had experienced, her tone was very flat, as if she were talking about a trivial matter— "Five games. This is the sixth."
