51: Chapter 51 Vampire Castle 7

Not understanding what he meant, the others quickly reached out, picked up one of the keys, held it up to their eyes, and began to examine it intently.

Suddenly, as if he had noticed some extremely important clue, his eyes lit up, and he realized with a start, "So that's it, look—"

He reached out with his other hand and pointed out the key spot he had just observed to the other players present. The few players followed the direction of his finger, looked closely, and immediately understood.

They saw that on the key the Gloomy Youth had just deemed unusable, there was actually a subtly carved, lifelike bat-shaped pattern! The position of the pattern was very hidden; it could only be seen by constantly adjusting the angle under the light.

Without a word, the group quickly picked up the remaining keys and began to examine them carefully. Sure enough, they soon detected certain unique elements associated with the Vampire on several of the keys. These elements were now hidden, now visible; without careful inspection, they would be impossible to catch.

In this way, there were only a mere two keys left that had not yet been assessed.

These last two mysterious keys lay there quietly, as if waiting for everyone to uncover the secrets hidden behind them.

At this moment, everyone looked at each other, exchanging glances. After a brief silence, everyone's gaze turned in unison toward Luo Yuejian, who was standing to the side.

Luo Yuejian: ?

Please, spare her. Luo Yuejian found it hard to understand why this group of players always thought she had ideas. What kind of ideas could she have? Thoughts on how to get herself killed?

Under the gaze of everyone, Luo Yuejian braced herself and said dryly, "Actually…"

She had originally wanted to say that she actually knew nothing and to ask them to stop questioning her. But suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit Luo Yuejian, and she had a brilliant idea.

Since these players always wanted to hear her ideas, if she deliberately misled the other players, wouldn't she be able to lose the game in a logical way?

It was the other players who asked for her opinion; as a newbie player, wouldn't it be reasonable for her to suggest some unreasonable operations?

Thinking of this, Luo Yuejian was immediately excited. Finally, she had come up with a plan she could complete all by herself! Let's see how the escape game stops her from dying this time!

Such a complex plan flashed through her mind for only an instant, and Luo Yuejian, without hesitation, continued from her previous words: "You are wrong."

Hearing this, the other players were all stunned, looking at each other, their faces full of confusion. Wrong? What was wrong?

Their gazes focused in unison on the two remaining keys on the table, deep suspicion showing in their eyes.

Could it be that these two seemingly key items were actually the wrong choices? Was the key that could truly open the door to survival hidden among the many keys they had already excluded?

The Short-sleeved Youth and the Gloomy Youth frowned even more deeply, unable to understand where their previous reasoning had gone wrong.

Meanwhile, Luo Yuejian had her own calculations. In her view, one of these two remaining keys must be valid. Even if they were unlucky and guessed wrong once, at most, it would just release a terrifying Vampire.

However, they could completely use the other key to open the second floor and keep the Vampire on the First Floor.

In that case, wouldn't they be very safe?

That won't do.

A wicked smile curled in Luo Yuejian's heart. Sorry, teammates, try harder next time; I'm going to die first.

"Don't use those keys." Her voice was cold, but inexplicably convincing.

She pointed to the clock, wanting to tell the other players that it was already very late, and if they blindly obsessed over which key to use to open the door, it was possible they would pass 12 o'clock and be forced to face ten Vampires on one floor.

The best method now was to directly blow open the iron door between the first and second floors, and in her hand—Luo Yuejian flipped her hand, and a card shimmering with mysterious light appeared steadily in her palm as if by magic.

It was none other than the Infinite Card.

As her signature item, the Infinite Card's skill was drawn each time, and the card's function was random.

Previously, when she took out the matchstick item, she had already conveniently drawn the card skill for this round. The Infinite Card's skill for this game happened to be Explosion!

Luo Yuejian's mental abacus was clicking loudly; if she could convince her teammates to blow up the passage between the first and second floors, then they would definitely have no way to keep those ten Vampires on the First Floor.

When faced with the pursuit of eleven Vampires, hehe, she didn't believe she would still be able to escape successfully!

However, before she could show her card skill to everyone, an excited voice immediately interrupted her. Luo Yuejian looked up and saw that the speaker was the Short-sleeved Youth.

The Short-sleeved Youth's cheeks were flushed with excitement as he said, "I understand!"

Luo Yuejian: ? What do you understand? She hadn't even spoken yet.

It couldn't be that the Short-sleeved Youth was clairvoyant and knew she had a demolition skill item in her hand, right?

Obviously, the Short-sleeved Youth was not clairvoyant.

Holding three keys in his hand, the Short-sleeved Youth said excitedly, "The nine keys we found cannot possibly be the items to open the next floor."

Once these words were spoken, several players were shocked. There were only ten keys on this floor in total; could it be such a coincidence? Were they so unlucky that only the very last key was the real one?

Luo Yuejian was also very shocked: What does that mean?

Everyone was also very puzzled, and the Buzz-cut Man asked, "What do you mean? How do you know that these nine keys are not the real ones?"

The Short-sleeved Youth looked at Luo Yuejian with reverence, "This was the hint the big shot gave me earlier."

Luo Yuejian: ...6

She understood now; this Short-sleeved Youth was deliberately finding a scapegoat. He enjoyed the benefits, and she took the blame, right? Good kid, you thick-eyebrowed, big-eyed fellow, you're actually so calculating!

Too many complaints, no words to say; Luo Yuejian was already numb. She just wanted to hear what kind of nonsense this guy could spout next.

The Short-sleeved Youth continued, "Earlier, when I finished analyzing that the keys with Vampire elements couldn't be used, I looked at the White-haired Girl to seek confirmation, but the big shot's expression at the time didn't look like she agreed with me."

He was completely baffled at the time, not understanding where his analysis had gone wrong. But based on the White-haired Girl's previous performance, he trusted her judgment; it must have been his own judgment that was wrong. It was just that he hadn't been able to figure out where he had gone wrong.

At this moment, he finally understood where the problem lay.
