260: Chapter 260 Treasure Land 30

"What?!"

"How is this possible?"

Hearing this, the players were all astonished and immediately ran over to check the situation.

They crowded forward and, sure enough, saw that behind the broken glass window, there was only a wall identical to the rest of the Stone Room.

The Mean-looking Man said in disbelief, "How is this possible? We clearly saw that white-haired woman through this window just now! How can there be a wall behind it?"

The Doctor with a low ponytail had already crouched down to examine the glass window.

After a while, she shook her head with a grave expression, "There is indeed nothing else behind it, just a wall. There are no other mechanisms."

"But... does that mean the white-haired woman we saw just now was fake?" The Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket still found it hard to believe.

"Not necessarily." The Plump Boss pondered for a moment and shook his head, "I know of some mechanical techniques that can create this effect, where you can see a real-time scene through the glass, but the situation behind the glass is completely different from what you see."

"However, I cannot be certain of the situation here. It is indeed possible that what we saw just now was just an illusion."

"Regardless, the appearance of that white-haired woman's image here proves that she must have been here. We must find the White-haired Girl as soon as possible." The Doctor with a low ponytail's eyes sharpened.

She stood up, turned her head, and said to the other players, "Since she hasn't left yet, we can still catch up with her if we move faster."

Impatience flickered between the brows of the Mean-looking Man, "Why must we find her? Can't we just keep following behind her?"

"We cannot guarantee that we can always follow behind her. If we lose her trail, it will be very difficult to find her again in such a complex place," the Doctor with a low ponytail said.

"Then let's not find her. Can't we figure out how to clear the level on our own?" The Mean-looking Man frowned.

A flash of coldness flickered in the eyes of the Doctor with a low ponytail, and her face darkened slightly, "If you don't want to follow, you can leave on your own."

Such obvious displeasure from her was rare. After all, throughout the entire game, including when they were chased by giant pythons in the forest or bitten by Piranha, and encountered various dangerous situations, the Doctor with a low ponytail had never shown such obvious coldness.

Seeing this, the Plump Boss immediately spoke up to interrupt the standoff between the two, "Don't be so anxious. Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth."

The Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket also hurriedly spoke up to comfort them, "Yeah, yeah, we are in such a dangerous environment right now, how can we have time to argue? Everyone, calm down."

The Plump Boss continued, "What is there to be anxious about over such a small matter? If we move faster, we can find the final treasure sooner and complete the game mission earlier."

Although he was trying to mediate, the meaning behind his words clearly supported the Doctor with a low ponytail.

After all, they really didn't have enough time now; they had been delayed for too long in the forest outside. Only by finding the White-haired Girl in time and obtaining the information in her hands could they make up for the time they wasted in the forest.

Therefore, although the corners of the Mean-looking Man's mouth were tight, he didn't say anything else.

Soon, the backs of the players disappeared at the end of the corridor.

...

At this moment, Luo Yuejian was leisurely killing time. Lighting the oil lamp in the Stone Room, she looked at the candle in her hand; the originally twenty-centimeter candle was now just a stump.

Fortunately, after such a long time, the matchbox item in Luo Yuejian's possession must have spawned new matchsticks, so she wouldn't have to explore in the dark.

However, holding just a single matchstick was ultimately inconvenient, and she still needed to find a candle or an oil lamp or something for illumination.

She tried, but the oil lamp in the Stone Room and the iron stand holding it were firmly attached to the wall, and there was no way to pull them off. It seemed she would have to think of another way later.

Luo Yuejian was not anxious at all; after all, not having a candle just made her slightly inconvenient, and it didn't affect anything else.

She walked over to the headless skeleton in the Stone Room.

Having wandered through so many Secret Rooms, the layout of these Stone Rooms was almost identical, which was completely visually fatiguing. The only thing relatively interesting was these headless skeletons with different clothing.

In the previous few rooms, Luo Yuejian had found a piece of yellowed and even blackened ivory, a horn comb, and even an oxidized and blackened silver spice box on these headless skeletons, yet inside it was actually filled with Sichuan peppercorns and star anise...

When Luo Yuejian opened the lid and sniffed it, that pungent smell immediately rushed up. She immediately closed the lid, thinking that it was impressive; after so many years, this thing still had such a strong smell.

Of course, it wasn't possible to find novel items on every headless skeleton. So Luo Yuejian now had the feeling of opening a blind box; every time she entered a new room, she couldn't wait to loot the corpses.

And this time, on the headless skeleton in this room, she really managed to find something. Luo Yuejian took out the item she found; it was a flat, diamond-shaped small box. She opened the box and discovered that it was actually a small mirror.

Perhaps because it had never been opened, the small mirror didn't look completely blurry and could still reflect Luo Yuejian's face.

She casually used the small mirror to look at herself, then put it away without much care and stuffed it back into her pocket.

Standing up from in front of the headless skeleton, Luo Yuejian walked to the bookshelf, picked up a parchment scroll, and pretended to read it, while her mind was actually completely blank.

Luo Yuejian was not the type of person to stare at a single parchment scroll without moving; she was quite clever and would switch to a different parchment scroll after a while to make it look more realistic, as if she were really seriously reading the content on the scrolls.

Sigh, this is all experience~

After looking through all the parchment scrolls, Luo Yuejian finally finished stalling for time and lazily stood up.

The bookshelf was actually located against the side wall facing the direction of the long, narrow door. As Luo Yuejian faced the bookshelf to read the parchment scrolls, it was difficult to see the low window on the other wall unless she turned around.

At this moment, she put the parchment scroll back on the bookshelf, turned around, and prepared to continue pretending to seriously look for clues in this room.

She sauntered over to the window and, with an incredibly casual look, glanced outside.
