59: Chapter 59 Vampire Castle 15

Buzz-cut Man clutched his foot in pain, slowly sitting on the ground, his voice strained and hoarse: "I need bandages or hemostatic medicine. Do you guys know where there might be any in the castle?"

Finding hemostatic medicine in the Vampire Castle was definitely out of the question, and the chances of finding bandages were probably slim too. However, painkillers might still be found.

The floor they were currently on was the habitat of the Three-headed dog; you didn't need to use your brain to know there was definitely no medicine here. The only way was to go to the floors below to search.

Luo Yuejian originally wanted to volunteer to go to the First Floor to take a look, but before she could open her mouth, the system in her mind started giving yellow card warnings with a "buzzing" sound. There were ten Vampires on the First Floor—enough for two mahjong tables with two people to spare. If Luo Yuejian went down there now, she would be purely courting death. She had no choice but to gloomily dismiss the idea.

Everyone discussed who should go to the Second Floor. Luo Yuejian wanted to say she would go, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the Tall fat man spoke first, interrupting her.

The Tall fat man frowned tightly, looking extremely unable to bear the strong stench permeating the Third Floor, and said hurriedly: "Let me go. I damn well can't stand this smell."

Actually, he had other ulterior motives in his heart. If he went downstairs alone, no one would care if he slacked off. When the time came, he could just casually brush it off by saying there was no medicine on the Second Floor, and he would get away with it easily, right?

If this were any other game, he definitely wouldn't dare do this; after all, this game concerned his own life. But in this round, the Tall fat man sneered inwardly. Wasn't that woman there? Since she was so awesome, it should be no problem for her to carry him to a win, right?

Luo Yuejian quickly closed her mouth. What else could she say? She had to hesitate for a long time just to speak up and say she wanted to go (facepalming and laughing bitterly)...

Finally, it was decided that the Tall fat man would go to the Second Floor to search for medicine. After the Tall fat man left, Luo Yuejian wandered around the perimeter—literally wandering; she didn't even dare to touch anything around her.

Who could stand it if one touch meant another clue, damn it?

The system didn't make any alarm sounds for some reason, as if it tacitly accepted her slacking off. This made Luo Yuejian feel a bit guilty, and then, while feeling guilty, she continued to slack off.

She hadn't found anything on her end, but the Stuttering Uncle brought good news. He had basically made no contribution along the way, so he was naturally overjoyed to finally find a key, saying loudly: "Here! H-here, there's a key!"

At this moment, he was lying in a huge semi-circular nest, constructed entirely of a special, dark silvery material that looked like metal. The dome at the highest point was nearly three meters high, extending downwards into an arc-shaped space capable of accommodating multiple giant beasts.

The sunken sleeping area on the ground had residual oval-shaped indentations, and the walls were covered with bite marks of varying depths, mixed with a certain bloody, gamey scent. It was clearly the place where the Three-headed dog slept.

Luo Yuejian wondered what kind of material could withstand the gnawing of that Three-headed dog. She had just seen that the monster's drool could cause Corrosion on the ground when it fell.

She suddenly thought of another thing: if even these metal-like materials, which the Vampires had specifically used to build a nest for the Three-headed dog, could be bitten, then what on earth were those bones all around?

Luo Yuejian was amazed in her heart and couldn't help but pick up a bone from the ground to observe it curiously.

She hadn't even figured anything out yet when the Short-sleeved Youth nearby noticed her actions and came over to ask: "Have you discovered something?"

Luo Yuejian was startled by the voice that suddenly appeared right next to her ear, and her hand slipped. The bone flew out of her hand and was then caught by the Short-sleeved Youth.

The Short-sleeved Youth was stunned, then his expression immediately became serious, thinking that Luo Yuejian wanted him to discover the problem with this bone on his own. In an instant, the Short-sleeved Youth felt an inexplicable sense of pride rise up. It was as if he had been chosen by something.

In his eyes, Luo Yuejian was undoubtedly a very powerful person. Now, this very powerful person had chosen him and had not chosen anyone else in the team. Did this mean he still had some merit?

Thinking of this, he immediately guaranteed solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely find the clue hidden in this bone!"

Luo Yuejian: ?

She was dumbfounded for a long while before she vaguely realized that the Short-sleeved Youth seemed to think that she had thrown that bone to him so he could crack the secret on the bone.

Upon realizing this, she almost laughed out loud, thinking to herself that she had just picked up that bone at random. She just wanted to see what animal's bone it was; what secret could there be?

However... Luo Yuejian thought again. The Short-sleeved Youth was quite a capable character in their game round. Several times before, it was the Short-sleeved Youth who had cracked the puzzles; he looked like a powerful person who could lead the team to clear the level.

It would be great if this bone of hers could distract the Short-sleeved Youth. It would be best if the Short-sleeved Youth kept studying this bone and didn't have time to look for other clues. If they couldn't find the key, they would all be finished together.

When that happened, the players would respawn and restart the next level, and she would respawn back to the Real World to cheer them on in her heart.

They all had a bright future!

She said to herself that she had to mislead the Short-sleeved Youth even more, letting him go down the wrong path and never look back, so she feigned depth and spoke: "See that over there?"

The direction she pointed was the Three-headed dog's nest. The Stuttering Uncle had already found a key there. According to common sense, one place shouldn't hide two keys, so there shouldn't be any other clues in that nest.

As such, by making the Short-sleeved Youth focus his attention on this place that no longer had any clues, she would definitely be able to prevent him from finding other keys.

After speaking, she immediately left the Short-sleeved Youth's side, not giving him a chance to ask her any follow-up questions. She thought happily, "You just guess; I don't even know what I mean myself."

After leaving, the more Luo Yuejian thought about it, the more pleased she was. She thought, this really is a good method. Why hadn't she thought of it before? Using her own wrong viewpoints to mislead those big shots who could carry the team—gosh, she was such a genius for coming up with such a brilliant method!

Thinking of this, she stole another glance at that Gloomy Youth. This kid was also a pretty capable player; he had been very articulate when analyzing many clues before. It would be best if she could come up with a way to divert this youth's gaze from the right track too...
