49: Chapter 49 Vampire Castle 5

Looking at the three keys in her hand, Luo Yuejian's eyes were vacant, as if her soul had been drained away.

Something was wrong, very wrong. Who on earth was messing with her?

Luo Yuejian wanted to grab her head and shake it vigorously. She had clearly been very cautious, racking her brains to avoid finding keys, yet she had somehow ended up finding two more.

Given that the castle had nine floors and a total of 109 keys, with eight of them serving to unlock each floor, it meant there were basically ten keys per floor. She alone had already obtained three.

Was this even reasonable?

The slacker system's voice echoed faintly in her ears: "It seems you are prepared to seriously complete this game, Host..."

Luo Yuejian: ?

It was too absurd. At this moment, Luo Yuejian truly felt like a scholar facing off against a soldier, or a mute eating coptis—unable to voice her grievances.

She opened her mouth, but couldn't squeeze out a coherent sentence for a long time. "I'm telling you, you, you have no idea, I'm telling you, you, you, do you know? You simply, you just, you simply, you have no idea what you are, you, you, you know what I'm telling you..."

The system replied: "I understand, Host, I understand. Actually, you still want to clear the game based on your own true strength. You never intended to bind with this system; binding with me has wronged you."

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Luo Yuejian confronted the system directly: "System, don't go too far. This round clearly wasn't my fault—no, wait, the last round wasn't my fault either! This game is clearly targeting me!"

The more she thought about it, the more wrong it felt. She didn't remember being a lucky person before? How did she become like she was using a cheat code after entering this Miracle Escape game?

Wait a minute... Luo Yuejian narrowed her eyes. She actually was using a cheat code.

"System, are you hiding something from me?"

The system sighed: "Host, look at you, suspecting me again. I'm just a little system dedicated to helping you resurrect. What ulterior motives could I possibly have?"

"But my luck has been extremely strange ever since I bound with you," Luo Yuejian said suspiciously.

"How could the system have such ability?" the system said innocently. "Those clues were all designed by the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game, and you were the one who found them. I didn't do anything."

Hearing the system say this, Luo Yuejian thought it over carefully and realized the system didn't seem to be wrong. Could it be... that this lousy game was messing with her?

Luo Yuejian's attention was immediately diverted, and she began to suspect the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game was playing tricks.

Miracle Escape Live Stream Game: ?

Convinced that the livestream game was messing with her, Luo Yuejian cursed inwardly and continued to slack off. It didn't want to let her leave? Hah, she had plenty of strength and methods.

Luo Yuejian's prolonged silence and stillness left the audience in the livestream room somewhat puzzled.

[What is the White-haired Girl doing? Why did she suddenly start spacing out while walking?]

[Don't know. She's been staring at those three keys the whole time. Did she figure something out?]

[I don't get it. I don't understand many of Moon God's moves...]

[Can someone explain if I missed something again? I can't understand Moon God's livestream without a commentator.]

[Regardless of anything else, Moon God's ability to find clues is truly invincible. I just took a look at the other few livestream rooms; the remaining six people combined only found three keys. Who wouldn't say Moon God is awesome!]

[One person is stronger than the other six (affirmative).]

[Whatever, I'll type 666 first. If Moon God does something flashy later, I'll be the one with foresight.]

[666]

[666]

Time quietly slipped toward evening. The classically gorgeous wall clock, unique to the Middle Ages, was like an indefatigable timekeeper, rhythmically emitting "tick-tock, tick-tock" sounds, each sound seeming to announce that time was mercilessly slipping away step by step.

"It's time to gather. That Buzz-cut Man just told us to hurry over..." the Short-sleeved Youth said as he hurriedly poked his head in from outside the room.

However, just as his gaze landed on Luo Yuejian's waist, his words came to an abrupt halt.

Luo Yuejian's slender waist was clearly hanging with four keys shimmering with a faint light.

The Short-sleeved Youth widened his eyes, his mouth agape, so surprised he could barely speak. That expression was exactly the same as the uncle who usually stuttered when he spoke.

After a long while, he finally regained his senses and shouted with a face full of joy: "You... you actually found four keys! That's amazing, as expected of you."

At this moment, Luo Yuejian's expression was as calm as water, without a ripple. This time it wasn't because of her poker face; she was truly expressionless.

Without hesitation, as if tossing out trash, she threw the four keys in her hand directly at the Short-sleeved Youth. Luo Yuejian felt bitter inside. Bad luck, what damn bad luck.

The Short-sleeved Youth clearly hadn't expected Luo Yuejian to make such a move, but he still extended his hands at the fastest speed and steadily caught the keys.

Due to being too nervous and excited, his hands were even trembling slightly. After taking the keys, he looked at Luo Yuejian with admiration, feeling that this was the White-haired Girl's trust in him, and cautiously thanked her: "Thank you... thank you!"

Luo Yuejian didn't know what he was thanking her for; she just wanted to leave here quickly and gather with the main group.

Returning to the hall where they first entered the game, the other players were already sitting in their original positions. As everyone's gazes turned toward her, Luo Yuejian began to get nervous again.

However, her nervousness didn't last long, because everyone's line of sight had already bypassed her and landed in astonishment on the Short-sleeved Youth following behind her.

To be precise, it landed on the five keys in the Short-sleeved Youth's hands.

The entire floor only had those measly ten keys in total, and the Short-sleeved Youth had obtained five by himself. The other players all widened their eyes, staring at the Short-sleeved Youth in a daze, with the same thought simultaneously appearing in their minds—could it be that this person was the real hidden expert with extraordinary strength in this game?

Taking advantage of the other players still staring at the Short-sleeved Youth, Luo Yuejian had already quietly slipped back to her corner position. At the same time, she couldn't help but secretly feel a sense of relief: it was fortunate that she had wisely handed the keys to the Short-sleeved Youth earlier; otherwise, the person receiving the players' attention right now would have been her.

Before she could even finish rejoicing, she saw the Short-sleeved Youth waving his hands in a panic. Then, he directed his gaze filled with reverence straight toward the direction where Luo Yuejian was, and looked at her with admiration. Luo Yuejian immediately felt a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.

Sure enough, she heard the Short-sleeved Youth explain earnestly: "You all misunderstood. Of these five keys, only one was found by me; the others were all found by the White-haired Girl."
