16: Chapter 16 Devil's Villa

Luo Yuejian had been puzzled ever since the Man in the Suit and the Fragile Girl returned. No, what on earth did those two rush out to do just now?

She had originally assumed that upon hearing her mention the "Kitchen," they felt famished and rushed off to find food, so she had been contentedly waiting in the Secret Room for them to bring something back.

Who would have thought that after waiting for a full two hours, those two came back with a whole pile of stuff, and when she glanced at it from the corner of her eye, not a single thing was edible!

Having already been hungry for two days, Luo Yuejian felt dizzy, and watching the Man in the Suit and the Fragile Girl busy themselves made her feel quite helpless.

With her stomach truly empty, Luo Yuejian decided she had to find some food herself. Dizzy from hunger, she quickly walked toward the door. However, she had only taken two steps when she heard a "clang" beneath her feet—she had kicked something.

Luo Yuejian looked down and saw that what she had kicked was actually a large bowl, and inside it was the blood the Man in the Suit and the Fragile Girl had painstakingly collected!

Luo Yuejian stiffly looked up, meeting the blood-red eyes of the Man in the Suit head-on.

Holy crap... she really didn't do it on purpose!

Although Luo Yuejian hoped to die smoothly in the game, she didn't want to intentionally sabotage the progress of other players. After all, even though her goal was to die early and be reincarnated, clearing the game wouldn't have any negative impact on her either.

Besides, the slacker system wouldn't allow it anyway.

This time, it was purely an accident!

Luo Yuejian subconsciously called out to the system in her mind: "I really didn't do it on purpose! It was an accident, I wasn't throwing the game!"

System: "Host, do not worry. According to the system's judgment, the host's action this time was unintentional and will not trigger a penalty."

Luo Yuejian let out a sigh of relief, feeling grateful that the system was so reasonable. Then, coming back to her senses, she realized the Man in the Suit was still staring at her with rage and despair.

Cold sweat trickled down Luo Yuejian's back. She felt no guilt, after all, after she died, these players would be resurrected into the next game under the operation of the slacker system and wouldn't truly die. This game was just gaining them experience.

And she, by completing the slacker system's death-seeking mission, would be resurrected and return to the Real World.

This was a complete win-win situation; they all had a bright future!

However, the other players didn't know they wouldn't die yet, so they were probably feeling quite desperate. Luo Yuejian thought for a moment and offered a dry consolation: "There is still time..."

Although she said that, Luo Yuejian knew in her heart that it would be hard for them to gather all the materials again. She silently apologized in her heart, truly sorry for them.

"...Right! Time!"

A voice rang out abruptly, startling Luo Yuejian. She turned her head and saw the Fragile Girl, who had been crying in despair, suddenly light up, looking at her with burning eyes.

No, what kind of issue is this now?

Luo Yuejian was puzzled. She had almost caused their deaths, so why did this girl look at her as if she were her savior?

The Man in the Suit also looked at the Fragile Girl. Although still desperate, seeing her expression, a glimmer of hope inevitably rose in his heart, and he asked urgently: "What is it? Did you discover something!"

The Fragile Girl nodded at him excitedly: "Do you remember? That diary's trap?"

The Man in the Suit nodded, confused.

The Fragile Girl: "Do you remember that the diary's time was messed up, that the daytime was wrong, and only at night..."

At this point, the Man in the Suit suddenly realized, exclaiming in astonishment: "The array recorded in that mysterious array book is fake?!"

The Fragile Girl nodded with a smile: "Exactly. To be precise, there is a high probability that the array recorded in the array book during the day is wrong, and it's only real at night!"

The Man in the Suit couldn't believe it: "Are you sure?"

"Not sure." The Fragile Girl shook her head. She looked at the White-haired Girl, her voice firm: "But I believe that the older sister had her reasons for doing this!"

"I hope so..." The Man in the Suit still couldn't quite believe it. But with things as they were, he could only sit dejectedly on the ground, waiting for night to arrive.

Time ticked by, and the demons wandering outside the Secret Room became increasingly restless, occasionally emitting shrill wails that made one's heart race with panic.

Finally, midnight passed. The Man in the Suit and the Fragile Girl couldn't wait to get up and pick up the secret technique book.

They saw that the page originally recording the Hexagram Spiritual Body Dual-Line Exorcism Array had no other changes compared to the daytime, except that the name of the array had changed. Hexagram Spiritual Body Dual-Line Demon Summoning Array!

The array book during the day was indeed wrong!

Obviously, if the Man in the Suit and the Fragile Girl had really operated according to the daytime array book, they would have faced the demons they summoned and would have undoubtedly died!

Thinking about how they were just about to pour the blood in during the day, which would have activated the Demon Summoning Array, the Man in the Suit and the Fragile Girl couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.

That was truly brushing against death...

Their gazes involuntarily turned toward Luo Yuejian; if it weren't for her, they would have definitely died long ago.

What kind of freakishly intelligent expert is this! When both of them were blinded by the impending victory of the game, she was still able to realize the suspicious nature of the array book and accurately identify the trap in the array book in time.

At this moment, the livestream room: [Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! This is too awesome!] [Seriously, if it were me, I would have definitely summoned the demons directly!] [This game is really malicious, actually hiding such a trick. If it were anyone else, they would have been dead for sure!] [Who would have thought the array book was fake during the day and real at night?] [When did this White-haired Beauty discover that something was wrong with the array book? How did she realize there was a problem with the array book...] [This White-haired Beauty is a true expert! I followed, so looking forward to her performance in the next game!] [Follow her, don't get lost, family!] ...

The real exorcism array was on the next page after the Demon Summoning Array. Like the other steps for drawing the Demon Summoning Array, only the last step of pouring in 6000 milliliters of blood was different.

The materials needed for the real exorcism array were five strands of a virgin's hair with follicles.

The Fragile Girl didn't hesitate at all; she plucked out five of her own hairs and threw them into the vortex.

The next second, the demons that had been howling outside were sucked into the original purple-black vortex by a tremendous suction force. In just over ten seconds, the demons that had filled the entire Villa vanished completely.

At the same time, at the entrance of the Secret Room, a pillar of white light shot up into the sky.

The three people present all had a premonition: as long as they entered the pillar of light, they would clear the game.

The Fragile Girl was the first to walk to the pillar of light. She looked at Luo Yuejian with grateful and admiring eyes, her voice soft: "Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I definitely wouldn't have been able to clear this game. If we meet again later... I hope that by then, I won't be like I am today, only able to rely on your strength to clear the game."

After saying this, the Fragile Girl stared intently at the White-haired Girl, as if wanting to carve this person into her mind forever. After a while, she stepped into the pillar of light and disappeared.

The Man in the Suit also walked to the front of the pillar of light. He looked at Luo Yuejian with awe: "Thank you very much for leading us to clear the game. I have learned a lot from you, thank you so much! I hope... I hope to see you again."

After saying this, the Man in the Suit stepped into the pillar of light without any hesitation and also disappeared.

Luo Yuejian was completely confused. However, she was already used to the Man in the Suit and the Fragile Girl's occasional erratic behavior, so she could only walk into the pillar of light with a head full of question marks.
