271: Chapter 271 Treasure Land 41

The Doctor with a low ponytail and the Plump Boss exchanged a frown, confirming that they both saw the White-haired Girl ahead, so it likely wasn't a hallucination.

The Plump Boss first comforted the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket, "With the three of us staying together, even if she really wanted to kill you, she would have to get past the two of us first. Besides, I don't think this White-haired Girl is actually trying to kill you."

"Then how did that Mean-looking Man die? Wasn't it killed by this White-haired Girl?" The Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket still didn't believe the White-haired Girl was a good person.

It was mainly because the image of the Mean-looking Man having his head ripped off had left too deep a psychological trauma. Plus, seeing the White-haired Girl later, watching him from afar with a cold and expressionless face, the horror effect was straight out of The Shining.

Now, whenever he saw the White-haired Girl, his mind would hallucinate the scene of her holding his head while standing there, watching him with no expression. The Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket shivered again.

The Doctor with a low ponytail didn't have as much internal drama as the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket, and she spoke objectively, "There are other creatures in this space besides us, aren't there? Aren't there a group of Mutated Mandrills ahead?"

Ever since discovering that there were Mutated Mandrills in this Treasure Site, the Doctor with a low ponytail had actually been leaning towards the idea that the Mean-looking Man had been killed by these mandrills.

After all, the intelligence of these Mutated Mandrills didn't seem low, and they appeared to have lived in this Treasure Site for a long time.

Although she didn't know why they would rip off the Mean-looking Man's head and drag his corpse back into the room to replace the original headless skeleton, these Mutated Mandrills were certainly capable of such things.

Conversely, the White-haired Girl had no reason to do that.

Ripping off a player's head, processing the body, dragging it back to the room to replace the headless skeleton, and hiding the original headless skeleton's body.

Going to all that trouble served no purpose other than creating a smokescreen.

Besides, there were only four players left in this game. If they hadn't just learned about the existence of the Mutated Mandrills in this Treasure Site, they would certainly have focused their suspicions about the killer of the Mean-looking Man on the White-haired Girl.

Even if she wanted to hide it, she couldn't.

That would be completely unnecessary.

The Doctor with a low ponytail didn't intend to say much more to the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket; in her eyes, his purpose was mainly to maintain balance. Otherwise, if only three veteran players remained, she knew all too well how much backstabbing there would be.

That would definitely be hell-level difficulty.

She turned her head to look at the Plump Boss and asked in a low voice, "Should we go over?"

The Plump Boss frowned in thought, looking at the White-haired Girl who had been absent for almost the entire game. He pondered for a moment before finally saying, "Let's go over and take a look. If she really did lead these Mutated Mandrills here, she must have a plan and is likely still focused on finding the final treasure to clear the game."

"Besides, even if she has some other ideas, she probably won't make a move right now."

The logic of this statement was sound, so the Doctor with a low ponytail nodded and took the lead, walking towards the direction where the White-haired Girl was standing.

Luo Yuejian stood where she was, watching the three players walk towards her together. It would be impossible to say she wasn't nervous.

In this game, except for seeing the other players at the very beginning, she had spent the rest of the time acting alone, almost thinking this was a single-player game.

At this moment, suddenly seeing other players, that stiff feeling all over her body returned immediately. Getting socially anxious twice in one game, that was truly something...

The first to speak was the Plump Boss. He smiled kindly at Luo Yuejian and said, "Long time no see. I didn't expect us to run into each other here again."

Luo Yuejian nodded stiffly, then immediately shifted her gaze to the black-furred monsters crowding into the hidden passageway, trying to distract herself.

The Plump Boss's gaze also naturally fell onto the Mutated Mandrills. He could tell that this passageway was likely not one originally displayed by the Treasure Site.

After all, they had been wandering around here for so long that they had gained a certain understanding of the basic structure of the Treasure Site.

The side paths of the Treasure Site generally only existed in the middle sections of the corridors, while the ends were long, narrow passages with niches in the walls filled with antiques.

But this passageway was very obvious, and one could see the niches on the walls on both sides. Therefore, that extra side path was clearly opened by the White-haired Girl using some method.

At this moment, his nose twitched, and he smelled a strange scent.

It seemed to be the aroma of wine.

Actually, this scent had been faintly present before. At the time, the Plump Boss had guessed that this might be the reason why the Mutated Mandrills gathered here.

After they got closer, the scent in the air intensified, and he became even more certain of his hypothesis.

Looking at the White-haired Girl's calm demeanor, he guessed that this was also her doing, so he asked directly, "Do you know what's up with this wine aroma in the air? Is it coming from inside that passageway?"

Luo Yuejian was concise, "There is a wine pool inside."

The reason for her conciseness, besides being socially anxious herself, was another matter: she was having trouble suppressing the deep desire in her heart for the wine aroma in the air.

She felt like she could rush in the next second.

At this moment, Luo Yuejian began to wonder again. Wait, why was she the only one bewitched by the wine aroma in the air? These players all looked very normal.

The two players closest to her, the Plump Boss and the Doctor with a low ponytail, both had calm expressions and showed no signs of being affected.

However, it was also possible that these two players had strong self-control. After all, both of them were clearly strong veteran players, and it was normal for them to have some special abilities.

Just as this thought emerged in Luo Yuejian's mind, she blinked and saw the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket, who had been standing furthest away, rushing forward with a look of longing on his face.
