173: Chapter 173 Abandoned Unfinished Building 26

"Clang—" A massive metallic crashing sound rang out. The Gray-brown Giant Wolf-dog landed on the ground, let out an angry roar, and raised its head again to look at the spot where the Girl in Pink Jeans had just been.

At this moment, the Girl in Pink Jeans had curled herself into a ball, hiding inside the metal pipe tower.

Just moments ago, when she realized the Gray-brown Giant Wolf-dog had charged right up to her, between life and death, the Girl in Pink Jeans' mind had become clearer than ever before.

She knew clearly that in her current position, it would be absolutely effortless for that Gray-brown Giant Wolf-dog to kill her. Almost without thinking, she subconsciously shoved her entire body into the gap of the metal pipe tower.

This action provided her with a glimmer of hope for survival amidst death.

Fortunately, the Girl in Pink Jeans had a slim build, which allowed her to barely squeeze into the interior of this metal pipe tower.

Her heart was beating extremely fast, her back was covered in cold sweat, and she dared not move at all, only able to listen to the massive crashing sounds caused by the Gray-brown Giant Wolf-dog slamming into the metal pipe tower outside.

The Girl in Pink Jeans bit her lip tightly, tears streaming down, her body trembling uncontrollably. She could only hope that the other players would come to save her.

Perhaps because the metal pipes in this stacked tower were crossed very ingeniously and each pipe was locked tight against the others, the structure as a whole was very difficult to knock apart.

Therefore, the Gray-brown Giant Wolf-dog outside had rammed into it several times without successfully collapsing the metal pipe tower.

Seemingly provoked into a rage, the Gray-brown Giant Wolf-dog stopped looking for the other players and just kept wasting time here with the Girl in Pink Jeans, which gave the other players a chance to catch their breath.

By now, the Gentle Man with Glasses had recovered and was no longer unable to move due to fear as he had been before.

His face was still pale. He had already thanked Luo Yuejian earlier, and now, seeing the situation of the Girl in Pink Jeans in the distance and listening to the increasingly loud crashing sounds, he felt lingering fear.

"What… what should we do next?" The Gentle Man with Glasses swallowed hard. "Should we go find the main gate, or… or save the Girl in Pink Jeans?"

Before Luo Yuejian could speak, a voice suddenly cut in.

"Do we really have to save her?" The boy in floral shorts appeared from somewhere, his expression very conflicted.

The Gentle Man with Glasses was startled. "Where did you pop out from?"

The boy in floral shorts rubbed his head sheepishly. "After that Gray-brown Giant Wolf-dog appeared, I ran around in a panic, running along the wall without knowing where I ended up. Later, I saw the White-haired Girl dragging you over here, so I thought I'd meet up with you two."

He returned to the previous topic: "I just circled halfway around and already saw the main gate of this Abandoned Unfinished Building, it's over there." He pointed in a direction. "But there seems to be a very large lock on it, it looks like a combination lock. If we want to unlock it, I'm afraid it will take quite a bit of time."

"Didn't we discuss earlier that if we want to clear the game, we must have a player attract the attention of that Gray-brown Giant Wolf-dog? Isn't the Girl in Pink Jeans doing exactly that right now..."

The Gentle Man with Glasses frowned. "But what about the Girl in Pink Jeans? This game isn't one where just opening the door allows all players to escape. We must leave this Abandoned Unfinished Building to win."

The boy in floral shorts said: "Then we can figure out a way to save her after we open the gate. If we don't do that, none of us will survive!"

Although his words were somewhat selfish and heartless, given the state of the Girl in Pink Jeans, no one could say for sure how long she could hold out.

If they really went to open the gate first, the Girl in Pink Jeans might just die in the wolf's jaws.

However... just as the boy in floral shorts said, this was the best time to go open the gate.

With the Girl in Pink Jeans attracting the gaze of the Gray-brown Giant Wolf-dog, they were temporarily safe. If they didn't take this opportunity to open the gate, it would be hard to find such a good chance again later.

Thinking of this, the Gentle Man with Glasses also hesitated. He looked at Luo Yuejian, wanting to hear her opinion. "Great God, what do you think?"

Luo Yuejian's brain was very relaxed at this moment, because it seemed she had found a pattern that could help her successfully complete her mission!

Since the other players' wish was to leave this Abandoned Unfinished Building and escape alive, while her goal was to stay in this Abandoned Unfinished Building and find opportunities to court death, her thoughts and goals were exactly the opposite of the other players...

Doesn't that mean that as long as she acts contrary to the players, not doing what they want to do, and guiding them to make opposite decisions, she could perfectly achieve the counter-effect and thereby complete her own mission?

Holy crap, is such a genius idea something she could have come up with?!

Sure enough, after entering the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game, her IQ had significantly increased!

Luo Yuejian was simply jubilant inside, as if she could see herself kicking the slacker system and punching the Miracle Company.

Although she might not have a chance of winning this round, in the next round, she could follow this policy of acting contrary to the players, diligently carry out her plans to court death, complete the slacker system's mission, and revive to return to the Real World!

After hearing the Gentle Man with Glasses' question, she first observed the reactions of the two players.

First, the boy in floral shorts definitely wanted to go directly to open the gate.

As for that Gentle Man with Glasses, he looked very conflicted. But it was precisely this conflict that exposed that he was actually inclined towards the method of first ignoring the Girl in Pink Jeans, opening the Abandoned Unfinished Building gate, and then going to save people.

Luo Yuejian immediately made a decision: save people, must save people!

She spoke in a cold tone: "Save people first."

What?! Hearing Luo Yuejian's words, the two players present were extremely surprised.

After all, judging from the image Luo Yuejian had displayed before, this person was definitely not a kind-hearted person, and could even be called cold-blooded.

Both of them could see with their own eyes that this White-haired Girl simply did not care about the lives of other players. Yet, such a person was actually saying she wanted to save the Girl in Pink Jeans at this moment? This was simply unbelievable!
