266: Chapter 266 Treasure Land 36

"I saw her, I saw her too!"

The Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket looked terrified, his eyes fixed on the end of the corridor ahead as he retreated uncontrollably.

His words sounded a bit nonsensical, but the other two players present were no fools and immediately understood exactly who the "her" the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket was referring to.

The Plump Boss said in a grave tone, "You saw that White-haired Girl too?"

"Yes, I just saw her flash by at the end of that fork. It was definitely that White-haired Girl, I'm sure I didn't see it wrong!" the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket said, his tone full of panic.

He stared at the fork, not daring to look away, "So, the Mean-looking Man from earlier wasn't wrong; that White-haired Girl is really trying to lure us!"

His teeth were even chattering, because the Mean-looking Man who had just seen this White-haired Girl had already been decapitated.

And now that he had also seen the White-haired Girl, did that mean his fate would be the same as the Mean-looking Man?

At the thought of such an ending, the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket felt a chill run down his spine.

While he was feeling terrified, the Doctor with a low ponytail and the Plump Boss behind him exchanged glances, their expressions far less tense than their tone suggested.

The two of them had been following behind the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket. Although the path was narrow, because the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket was relatively short, they were not completely unable to see the scene ahead.

Because of this, they were both very certain that they had not seen the White-haired Girl ahead.

Now, exchanging glances, they both understood what the other left unsaid.

It's the candle that's the problem.

Compared to before, when the Doctor with a low ponytail's emotions were affected, she had been caught off guard and had even pondered for a while about what caused her to be affected.

But this time, in a sense, the two of them had already prepared in advance.

Back in the room when they first arrived at the Treasure Site, upon discovering that one candle was missing from the table, the two veteran players had already realized through their rich experience that this candle might play a significant role later on.

However, both of them were old foxes and weren't about to tell the truth to the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket.

Out of the tacit understanding between veteran players, they both prepared to see if the other two New players who didn't have candles would encounter any danger later on.

Now it seemed that if one didn't have a candle in hand, it was very likely they would be deceived by the illusions in this Treasure Site.

And if lured by the illusions, it was very likely they would trigger the hidden mechanisms of the Treasure Site and be decapitated.

The Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket was still muttering in panic: "It's definitely that White-haired Girl playing tricks! Didn't that Mr. Mask say earlier that when there's only one player left in this Miracle Escape Live Stream Game, that player will automatically win?"

"That White-haired Girl definitely wants to kill the rest of us players so she can win the game through the safety mechanism and survive alone!" The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, "She must have targeted me... What should I do?"

The Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket was, after all, entering the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game for the first time, and facing such a tense and oppressive situation, it was naturally very difficult to keep his composure.

The Plump Boss standing nearby comforted him: "It's okay. The Mean-looking Man from before was killed so easily because he chased after her alone and didn't wait for us. As long as you stay with us, even if there is real danger, we can face it together, right?"

The Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket turned to look at him and the Doctor with a low ponytail, asking nervously: "You really won't abandon me?"

The Plump Boss smiled kindly, "Don't worry, we are all companions. In this kind of game, the more companions, the better."

The Doctor with a low ponytail also nodded slightly, "If you die too, excluding that White-haired Girl, the situation for the two of us remaining players will definitely become even more dangerous."

This reasoning was sound, and the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket felt much more at ease. He smiled gratefully at the two players and promised: "Rest assured, I definitely won't run around. I will stay close to you two!"

However, although the three players had been walking together, there was one problem that had not been solved.

That was that from beginning to end, they had never discovered how the White-haired Girl determined which path was the correct one.

"It's a pity we checked earlier and didn't find any footprints of that White-haired Girl on the ground, otherwise we could have followed the path she chose," sighed the Plump Boss.

With no White-haired Girl to light the way ahead, and having not found a way to judge the correct path themselves, the three players could only choose to take it one step at a time.

Before entering the fork ahead, the Doctor with a low ponytail solemnly reminded them: "Let's all walk slowly together in a bit. If things look bad, retreat immediately."

The Plump Boss and the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket both nodded, their expressions and movements tense, clearly prepared for the danger they might encounter later.

They passed two forks safely. When they reached the third fork, a sudden change occurred; the three players encountered a trap in the passage and fled in panic.

At the fourth fork, nothing happened.

At the fifth fork, nothing happened.

Passing through a Stone Room in the middle, the Doctor with a low ponytail suddenly stopped, her expression serious, "Are we walking in circles? I've seen that corpse before."

The Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket and the Plump Boss: ...

Having experienced various dangers and backtrackings, after walking to the next fork, the players suddenly heard a bit of water sound in their ears.

This sound of water was very unusual because, before this, no sound of water had appeared in any of the forks they had passed through.

This sound of water couldn't help but remind them of the waterfall they saw when they came down from the surface. There was a waterfall outside this Treasure Site, so there must be an Underground River nearby. Thinking about it, the sound of water didn't seem so strange.

The three players looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. After all, while there was a possibility of danger ahead, there was an even greater possibility that there was an exit ahead.

Perhaps the final treasure was buried at the exit?

Thinking this, the Doctor with a low ponytail said: "Let's keep going. Maybe we'll see something different."

The Plump Boss also nodded, readily agreeing and not intending to turn back now. However, he still said: "Be careful. If you notice anything wrong, we'll turn around and run immediately."

The space ahead was very dark, so the three players lit the oil lamps on both sides of the corridor while carefully moving forward.
