165: Chapter 165 Abandoned Unfinished Building 18
The Gentle Man with Glasses turned his gaze toward Luo Yuejian, his tone respectful as he asked, "I wonder if you have any ideas on how to get downstairs?"
"The situation is quite urgent. If you have any thoughts, I hope you won't hesitate to share them."
In truth, he didn't want to ask Luo Yuejian directly. After all, in his eyes, Luo Yuejian was someone who only offered guidance to those she deemed valuable.
If possible, he would certainly prefer to find the way to the First Floor on his own.
But as he had said before, time was pressing. After all, no one knew when the floors above would collapse, or whether that collapse would reach their floor.
Only by reaching the First Floor as soon as possible could they feel somewhat at ease.
Hearing the question from the Gentle Man with Glasses, Luo Yuejian was stunned. She thought to herself, 'Why are you asking me? What ideas could I possibly have?'
But then she reconsidered. No, the collapse above was so violent; it might affect them at any moment.
Therefore, Luo Yuejian's best option was to stay on this floor and wait for death.
If those players really discovered a way to leave this floor and escape to the First Floor, such a perfect opportunity would be wasted.
It would be best to find a way to stall this group of players...
A flash of inspiration struck Luo Yuejian.
She had previously planned to mislead the top players in the game, letting them immerse themselves in her misinformation to increase the likelihood of them failing the game.
The smart players in this round were originally the Gentle Man with Glasses and the Messy-Haired Man. However, the Messy-Haired Man was already dead, leaving only the Gentle Man with Glasses.
Since the Gentle Man with Glasses was now asking her for a way to leave, wasn't this the perfect opportunity for her to act?
She could simply provide a misleading answer, keeping the Gentle Man with Glasses fixated on the wrong path she suggested, thereby preventing him from finding the correct way to leave this floor!
Luo Yuejian's eyes lit up, but she immediately fell into deep thought.
She had encountered this situation before. She would provide what she thought was a wrong answer, but through some twist of fate, the players would manage to find the correct answer from her misleading clues and successfully solve the puzzle.
To avoid this, Luo Yuejian decided to provide an even more ambiguous answer this time. She would ensure that the players, confused by her cryptic clues, would be unable to find a way to leave this floor!
With that thought, she lowered her head, feigning a contemplative expression, and said slowly, "I thought the answer I gave was already quite obvious."
Luo Yuejian was well-versed in the art of acting cool; the fewer words spoken, the more impressive it sounded. Having said that, she resumed her contemplative pose and remained silent.
As for what that meant? Hehe, let the players guess.
The other players walked over upon hearing the commotion and saw Luo Yuejian with an indifferent expression, her eyes cast downward. Her tone carried a hint of disdain for the others as she repeated, "I thought the answer I gave was already quite obvious."
If anyone else had said that, it would undoubtedly have caused resentment. Who are you to look down on others? What are you putting on airs for?
But because it was Luo Yuejian who said it, the players knew for a fact that she had definitely discovered something and had already given them a hint.
That was the power of reputation!
Meanwhile, in the main livestream room for the Abandoned Unfinished Building game, a discussion had broken out:
[Whoo! What did the White-haired Beauty find this time?]
[It's like we're playing different games. I've been staring at the livestream room, and I haven't seen any clues at all. TAT...]
[Damn, that was such a cool line. I love it! Hahahaha, this woman is truly powerful!]
[Seriously, if anyone else said that, I'd think they were just putting on airs. But coming from the White-haired Beauty, it's incredibly convincing...]
[Honestly, with the White-haired Beauty's icy demeanor, she doesn't seem like the type to brag.]
[Indeed.]
[I can't take it anymore, I'm really starting to fan over this woman. Followed! I'm going to her livestream room to send a tip!]
[Count me in!]
...
However, the atmosphere in Luo Yuejian's exclusive livestream room was completely different from what those players imagined.
[It's the low cabinet at Moon God's feet, right?]
[Definitely. Moon God even specifically tipped that cabinet over. You can tell there's something inside.]
[Moon God is honestly so straightforward. Just like she said, the hint she gave this time was really obvious.]
["Straightforward."]
[Sigh, watching these players is so frustrating. Moon God made it so clear, she was even looking at the ground, yet these guys still didn't get what she meant and are just fumbling around.]
[I feel like Moon God is just taking pity on these fresh, simple newbies because she spent previous rounds dealing with backstabbing, scheming players.]
[Hahahaha, I'm dying. You're actually right! Apart from the hidden Psychopathic murderer, the other players in this round are quite simple and even help each other.]
[So, who is the Psychopathic murderer? I originally suspected the Messy-Haired Man, but that guy died first. It's ridiculous...]
[Want a spoiler?]
[Get out of here!]
[Alright then (exits regretfully)~]
[Wait, why is the atmosphere in this livestream room so different from what I imagined...]
[I want to ask the same thing... This was Moon God, right? She's so amazing, how are you guys not praising her???]
[It's Moon God, her real name is Luo Yuejian, but we're used to calling her Moon God~]
[Lol, this move wasn't really anything amazing. It's just standard procedure for Moon God; it's a piece of cake~]
[Exactly, hahahahaha. If Moon God couldn't find a clue, that would be suspicious. This was honestly nothing special.]
[Wow, she's that good? Then I'm definitely following!]
...
Meanwhile, the players in the game were, as the audience in the livestream room had said, fumbling around blindly.
This was mainly because the players didn't have the god's-eye view that the livestream audience had. The low cabinet lying on the floor looked no different from the piles of collapsed debris everywhere in the hallway, which caused the players to overlook it.
However, after searching the area and realizing there were indeed no other visible clues, the players finally fixed their gaze on the low cabinet collapsed at Luo Yuejian's feet.
The boy wearing floral shorts was the first to squat down and flip the cabinet over. Upon seeing what was behind the glass on the front of the cabinet, his eyes widened, a flash of clear surprise in his gaze, and he shouted to the other players, "It's a fire cabinet! This is a fire cabinet! There's a fire hose inside!"
