84: Chapter 84 The Eternal Resting Palace 11

Luo Yuejian had a doubt now. She didn't know why, ever since she met up with the Leather Jacket Man, he had been acting like he was wary of her. He was cautious, constantly walking behind her while maintaining a distance of about two meters.

Had she exposed her intentions? Luo Yuejian was puzzled. Besides, her true plan was to feed a kill, which shouldn't conflict with the Leather Jacket Man, right?

Unable to figure it out, Luo Yuejian struggled with it for a moment before letting it go. She still needed to consider how to force the Man in the Suit, who was hiding in the shadows, and the Man in Black Turtleneck to fight each other.

After much thought, she felt she had to find the Man in Black Turtleneck first. Only by getting close to this guy could she intensify the conflict and force the two of them to fight.

Luo Yuejian was a bit distressed. After all, she had no idea where the Man in Black Turtleneck was. She was self-aware enough to know that she certainly couldn't figure it out on her own, so she had to rely on the person next to her.

She asked tentatively, "Where did the Man in Black Turtleneck go?"

The Leather Jacket Man's eyes narrowed slightly, and a flash of vigilance crossed his gaze. This suddenly appearing White-haired Girl gave him an inexplicable sense of crisis. Her appearance was too abrupt, and her behavior made him suspicious.

After a brief thought, the Leather Jacket Man decided that caution was paramount. He took a deep breath and slowly replied, "I'm not entirely sure. He was walking behind me, just like you and that Man in the Suit, and then suddenly vanished for no reason."

"Oh, really? Then do you remember where he vanished?"

The Leather Jacket Man became alert at once. His heart tightened, and he immediately realized this question was not simple; it was clearly a probe. Now, he was almost certain that this White-haired Girl definitely knew something.

The Leather Jacket Man's gaze locked onto Luo Yuejian. He followed behind her, the look in his eyes becoming dark and inscrutable. Since Luo Yuejian had already sensed something, he could no longer sit and wait for his doom; he had to take action and strike first!

He was a very decisive person. This decisiveness had helped him win repeatedly in previous game rounds and had also won him quite a few fans.

Therefore, when he decided to eliminate Luo Yuejian, a knife appeared in his hand without warning. The knife glinted with a cold light; it was clearly a game item.

While cautiously approaching Luo Yuejian, he pretended that nothing was wrong, as if he were recalling the time when the Man in Black Turtleneck disappeared, yet his eyes were already filled with murderous intent, and his hand gripping the knife handle tightened.

Just at a corner, he knew the time was ripe. Taking advantage of Luo Yuejian turning the corner, he rushed up, convinced that Luo Yuejian would absolutely not notice.

He stepped forward with the knife without hesitation and struck fiercely!

However, the strike missed. He stood there in shock, because there was no one in front of him.

Luo Yuejian had vanished into thin air!

However, he quickly realized that this must be a trick of the passage. There must be some side path nearby that he hadn't noticed. His understanding of this tunnel was not inferior to that of the Man in the Suit, so he paid extra attention.

He wasn't sure if Luo Yuejian had discovered his intentions or just happened to walk into a side path, but that did not prevent his vigilance from reaching a new level.

He called out in a low voice, "Where are you? I can't find you."

At the same time, his hand kept touching the wall, walking almost flush against it. He remained hyper-alert, fearing that Luo Yuejian would rush out from some unexpected place.

Meanwhile, Luo Yuejian had indeed, as the Leather Jacket Man suspected, entered an unknown side path.

After walking for a while and hearing no movement behind her, Luo Yuejian turned around. Seeing no sign of the Leather Jacket Man, she realized she might have walked into a side path. She thought to herself, "This won't do. I still need to rely on the Leather Jacket Man to expose my location and lure those two players into attacking me."

Thinking of this, she immediately turned around and started walking back.

Although she had heard the Man in the Suit explain the rules of the side path before, Luo Yuejian lacked a practical sense of it, and she had no awareness of walking while touching the wall. Therefore, after walking for a while, her actual position was already quite far from the Leather Jacket Man.

The Man in the Suit, who was hiding in the distance and following the Leather Jacket Man and Luo Yuejian, was stunned. Wait, where is that White-haired Girl? They had an agreement that she would follow the Leather Jacket Man to find an opportunity to attack, so why did she disappear?

He realized something was wrong and began to suspect that Luo Yuejian had her own agenda and was not genuinely cooperating with him. Although he harbored his own ulterior motives, he still wanted to wait until the other player was eliminated before facing off against Luo Yuejian.

Now it seemed the plan might need to change.

However, after hesitating for a moment, the Man in the Suit continued to follow behind the Leather Jacket Man.

"Stick to the unchanging to deal with all changes," after all.

Luo Yuejian looked at the patterns on the stone wall in front of her, feeling incredibly exasperated. There are murals in side paths? Which guy painted this? Do you have that many murals?

However, with the system watching nearby, she couldn't play blind and ignore such a large wall. She held up the bronze oil lamp and stepped forward. Fortunately, the system did not force her to think; she could simply stand in front of the mural and space out, ensuring she definitely wouldn't find any clues.

The colors of the mural had faded, losing their former brilliance and becoming dull. However, perhaps because it was painted on the stone wall, there was no peeling, and the mural remained well-preserved.

Although she claimed to be spacing out, Luo Yuejian wasn't that bored. Her eyes had their work to do, and her brain had things it shouldn't be doing. She held the bronze oil lamp and examined the mural.

The mural depicted various strange monsters and demons, which did not form a complete narrative. Anyone who has been to a temple knows that regarding these types of murals, unless you are knowledgeable, aside from Maitreya Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva, it's really whatever god you say it is.

A place like an underground palace is either a tomb or a sacrificial site. Luo Yuejian didn't know which one the Underground Palace of Eternal Sleep belonged to, but she didn't really care.

After taking a casual look, she turned and left. She didn't notice at all that the moment she turned to leave, in a corner of the mural, the eye of a painted figure moved slightly...
