Chapter 38.1

In the face of this guys aggressiveness, Xiao Tangqius expression darkened. Although this man was making a fuss without knowing the real situation, this was something that Xiao Tangqiu had been afraid to find out for sure. Last night, the monsters original target was indeed he and Tang Mianmian but they were saved by Shen Yuan. Was that why the monster changed its target and killed one of the four old players?

Tang Mianmian didnt think as much as Xiao Tangqiu. He glared at Fresh Grad, Did you see it with your own eyes last night? Why dont you come up with proof then? Otherwise, youre just maliciously slandering us!

Fresh Grad choked up for a second, then shouted, If it werent you guys, then why didnt you die when the candle at your door was extinguished? Explain yourselves!

Xiao Tangqiu said impassively, Because some old players saved us.

The man snorted coldly, as if he didnt believe it. Why should they help you for no reason?

Tang Mianmian rolled his eyes. Thats none of your business!

The man seemed unconvinced and wanted to say something else, but he was held back by the other newbies. Although the four old players, who looked very powerful, hadnt said anything yet, it was obviously unwise for them to offend the old players as newbies Even if these two were really related to the death of that person, there was no need for them to stand up for others!

Compared with that mans inexplicable indignation, the three old players, who had lost their companion, didnt have much of a reaction. It was hard to say if they didnt believe him or if they were just numb to the death of a companion.

With such a move, this group of people who werent very united to begin with started to fall apart. Under the watch of everyone, several small groups had emerged and their relations became more rigid. It seemed that everyone suspected everyone else and was on guard against others.

Even when eating breakfast, they kept silent the whole time. No one took the initiative to speak. The atmosphere was very depressing. Xiao Tangqiu was still a little upset at first, but soon succeeded in consoling himself. This group of people had their own sinister ideas and motives. Even without him and Tang Mianmian, they would have fallen apart sooner or later. This mornings incident was just a catalyst.

When they were about to finish their breakfast, the middle-aged woman showed up. She didnt take the little boy downstairs with her again. She picked up the food on the table and turned to go back to the room just like the day before.

Xiao Tangqiu suddenly asked, Where is your son?

The middle-aged woman seemed startled and looked at Xiao Tangqiu warily, Why are you asking? Although her expression was filled with vigilance, she couldnt help showing a hint of guilt.

Before Xiao Tangqiu could answer, the young man who was hell-bent on accusing Xiao Tangqiu spoke up, Why do you care about someone elses son? You must have ulterior motives! Youre just trying to find a scapegoat again!

When the middle-aged woman saw someone standing up for her, she immediately put aside her guilty conscience and angrily scolded, You stay away from my son! You better not appear in front of my son! Or Ill kill you!

Xiao Tangqiu pursed his lips and hesitated. So what if he publicly debunked the fact that this middle-aged woman wasnt the mother of the little boy? In such a crisis-prone place, he and Tang Mianmian already had their own difficulties. How was it possible for him to protect another child?

Seeing that Xiao Tangqiu had kept quiet, the middle-aged woman continued nagging and cursing while the young man made a face of elation, seeming to feel proud that he successfully exposed such a big conspiracy. Right then, Shen Yuan suddenly put down his knife and fork and stood up.

The knife and fork collided against his plate, issuing a crisp

clink

. Although it wasnt loud, the middle-aged woman was still frightened into silence by Shen Yuans momentum. The young man didnt dare to look so smug anymore and merely stared at Shen Yuan blankly.

Shen Yuan didnt even look at them, but said faintly to his teammates, Lets set out.

At his command, Duan Hongzhen and the two women stood up uniformly. The four of them were so imposing that the people sitting in the dining hall immediately stopped all their messy schemes and intrigues. They were too afraid to even breathe loudly.

Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian looked at each other and stood up as well. The two had planned to go to Daemon Town with Shen Yuans team today.

Where are you going? Someone carefully asked.

Xiao Tangqiu didnt conceal their plan, Daemon Town.

Daemon Town? The newcomers looked at each other and soon remembered what sort of place it was the town that had been ravaged by demons. These people were crazy! Going to such a dangerous place!

In the midst of their shock, Lu Sier stood up slowly.

Seeing this, White-collar Woman immediately cried out Lu Sier, dont go! Its too dangerous!

The five girls from the newbies all stayed in the same room. They had obviously exchanged names and had become familiar with each other.

Yes! Its too dangerous to go out! Sier, stay here! Another girl also chimed in.

The middle-aged man, who looked like their leader, frowned slightly, Lu Sier, you want to go with them?

Lu Sier gritted her teeth. Yes, I do.

Why? Although the castle is very dangerous, its more dangerous outside, the middle-aged man seemed a little displeased. Youre a girl. Its too dangerous for you to be out and about,. Its better if you stay!

It was hard to tell whether he had the motive of finding another person to cushion the blow of death or whether he was dissatisfied with someone challenging his authority as a leader. He habitually gave an order, Lu Sier, you cant go!

The young man also said coolly, Yes, although youre a girl, in case of danger, they may not bother about you

Shen Yuan ignored the wrangling of the newbies and ordered the team to leave.

Naturally, his three teammates immediately followed. Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian exchanged a look. Although they had acted together with Lu Sier yesterday, they werent in any condition to influence her decisions, so they also turned and left.

Soon, they reached the door.

Shen Yuan stood in front of the door, staring at the castle gate with deep eyes.

Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly. Can the door be opened? In our last instance, once we entered many buildings, we couldnt leave unless all the plot objectives were completed Just like all horror games, there was no way to leave the plot area unless the final result was achieved.

Duan Hongzhen smiled and explained, If we cant open it now, it means there isnt any important clues outside, or we havent triggered the corresponding conditions.

Xiao Tangqiu suddenly realized that opening the door was actually a way to verify the progress of their mission.

Could the gates of this castle be opened?

Soon, his doubts were answered Shen Yuan reached out and pushed; the castle doors were opened.

Although Shen Yuans action was very casual, the door was obviously difficult to open, because it issued a heavy and harsh

creak

, as if it hadnt been opened in many years.

Dazzling rays of sunlight entered, bit by bit, along the crack in the door. When Xiao Tangqius entire being was exposed to sunlight again, he felt as if he had been reborn.

Tang Mianmian cried out exaggeratingly, Im blind, blind Its so bright, its blinded my poor eyes

Just as Xiao Tangqiu and the others were preparing to leave, Lu Siers voice suddenly rang out, Wait for me! Im going too!

Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian looked back in surprise. They didnt expect Lu Sier to catch up with them after having to go through all kinds of discussions and under the condition of so many people stopping her from leaving. However, Lu Sier was followed by several new players who also wanted to persuade her. When they saw the gates being opened, they were immediately shocked. I didnt think the gates could really be opened! I thought we wouldnt be able to go out once we entered!

Does this mean we can leave then?

We can get out of here!

Seeing them in high spirits, Xiao Tangqiu kindly reminded them, Theres no way youll go back to where you came from by walking out these gates. It may be more dangerous outside as well.

The young man who liked to oppose him immediately burst out, How do you know we cant leave? And who knows if youre lying to us or not! Dont bother about him! Lets go out and have a look!

They knew in their hearts that it wasnt so easy to leave this place, but right now, they suddenly caught a glimmer of hope, and naturally, they had to seize it. Xiao Tangqiu knew that no matter how he tried to persuade them, it would only fall on deaf ears. He gave up persuading them with a sigh and turned to catch up with the team ahead.

The newbies chose the road opposite to Xiao Tangqius and set off. They didnt go back to inform their other companions who were still in the castle either. They were obviously only thinking about leaving.

As the two teams drifted apart, Tang Mianmian asked Duan Hongzhen, How do we get to Daemon Town? Do we walk there?

Duan Hongzhen smiled and fiddled with his scalpel, If you can actually get a taxi, we can always go by car.

Tang Mianmian touched his nose shyly, But we dont know the way how do we get there?

Duan Hongzhen leisurely smiled, Were not concerned with the matter of finding our way.

Xiao Tangqiu suddenly remembered that when they first entered this instance, Shen Yuans team had already demonstrated their ability to find their way around Did any of these four people possess special skills such as human GPS?

He couldnt help thinking of his live broadcast studio: in the flesh skill and immediately felt like a weakling.

Just then, the woman who had constantly kept a cold demeanor suddenly said, Come out.

Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian jumped in shock.

What happened? Did someone follow them?
