Chapter 215 Hidden Rules
Adding more wood to intensifies the fire is because they are afraid of the cold.
But the addition of wooden blocks to cause so many casualties is simply unacceptable.
Lu Youyou could only watch as everyone poured water to put out the fire. In order not to be caught out, she also took out a small basin that Xiao Hei had gnawed a hole in and poured water into the fire.
The fire was finally extinguished, and only about ten people remained from the densely packed crowd.
Their expressions were complex as they looked at Lu Youyou, lost in thought.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow glowing red was aimed straight at Lu Youyou's face, but was stopped by the shadow storm released by Xiaoya and fell to the ground.
"Oh dear, brother, what are you doing?"
Lu Youyou glanced at the arrow on the ground, then looked in the direction it had come from, feigning weakness: "Why are you doing this to me? Murder is against the rules!"
"What are you saying, little sister? Didn't your brother see you two standing there all alone, without any warm-up activities, so he wanted to add some games for you?"
"Brother knows that your two little sisters are agile and will definitely be able to dodge, so brother is going to fire several arrows at the same time, little sisters, get ready!"
Damn!
These people have also figured out the hidden rule that they can exploit loopholes through tea talk!
Faced with a barrage of arrows, the crow flew high into the sky, spread its four- or five-meter-long wings, and flapped its wings, creating a howling gale.
All the arrows changed direction and became faster with the help of the wind.
Some people were blown onto the ice, while others accidentally stepped onto the ice while trying to avoid arrows.
Most people didn't have time to react before being pulled under the ice by a dark force.
A small number of people used props to safely evade the culprits and leave the ice.
"Oh dear! Uncles, I didn't mean to. I'm just a little crow that's recently hatched, and I haven't been trained at all. I fanned the fan too hard all of a sudden and accidentally hurt you. I'm so sorry!"
Some people forced a smile and gave a hypocritical response.
"So it's a newly hatched baby crow. Your uncles won't blame you, but if you can't control the wind the first time, it'll be intentional if you can't control it the next time."
"Yes, after this experience, I definitely won't take it seriously when my uncle and master are joking around. I will definitely learn how to properly control the wind."
After speaking, the crow landed on Lu Youyou's shoulder, its blood-red eyes fixed on the men opposite it.
In the dim light, the ground was covered in blood, and a dark hand, which had already smashed the ice, was ready to pull people out.
The men's breathing became heavier, and their undershirts were soaked with cold sweat.
"quack."
A red-eyed crow stared intently at him, its eyes revealing a human-like mockery, and occasionally letting out a chilling cry.
Finally, someone couldn't take it anymore and teleported away.
Once it happens, it will happen again; those who are still alive will gradually leave.
"Let's go, get in the car. I see Qi Yuan is already waiting by the car. She's pretty quick," Wang Qiao said.
"Wait."
Lu Youyou, with her sharp eyes, spotted the note left on the ice.
It's unclear when the Black Hand sent it out, but it's already frozen in the ice.
The font above is also blurry and some parts are hard to read.
"Wang Qiao, come and take a look. What's written on that piece of paper?"
"It seems to be... cowardly, dead, words, rule violation, I can only make out these few words."
"A coward? I don't see it..." Lu Youyou squinted, trying to see more clearly.
"What I saw was, 'Don't die...' The monster told me not to die. Okay, I'm blind. Joe, you're amazing to be able to see so much."
Unable to identify it on her own, Lu Youyou squatted by the roadside, seeking help from the monster beneath the ice.
"Could you write me another note? I can't see the one on top clearly."
After waiting for five minutes, the ice surface remained calm, showing no sign of being breached by the monster.
"Don't wait any longer, they probably won't rewrite it," Wang Qiao said. "Let's go back, Qi Yuan is still waiting."
"Let's go."
The two walked up to Qi Yuan's RV and were about to deactivate its shrunken state when Qi Yuan interrupted them.
"Since you've already used it, don't just use it for a short while. Get in the car, I'll offer you some hot tea, I have something to say."
In the carriage.
Wang Qiao and Lu Youyou sat on one side, with Qi Yuan opposite them.
"You two are always sticking together wherever you go?" Qi Yuan said suddenly, looking at the two sitting side by side.
Wang Qiao took a deep breath, but couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, can't I just ask? If you keep treating me like this, I won't show you the note."
Wang Qiao pursed her lips and remained silent.
Lu Youyou felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Didn't Qi Yuan initially have a very good impression of Wang Qiao? She even said something about learning to cook people in a big pot.
Why do I find Wang Qiao so disagreeable now?
You're so dense! Think of a way to smooth things over.
Lu Youyou spoke up: "Um... Qi Yuan, don't you have a note? Take it out and let me see it."
"Okay." Qi Yuan placed the note on the table: "Take a look."
Don't be a coward, speak up and you'll be punished for violating the rules.
Lu Youyou immediately took a picture and posted it to the gang group.
Then, the more she looked at it, the more she realized that this was the full picture of the note that she hadn't noticed before.
嗏
Everyone already knew the hidden rules, and they had all killed people before it appeared. That was way too late.
Was it the monster that gave us the wrong time, or was it something the adults deliberately arranged?
Lu Youyou didn't know.
She only knew one thing: as long as it wasn't an open and direct act of murder, and she had a good reason for it, then murder wasn't against the rules.
It's ridiculous, but that's the truth.
There are rules to the game, and there are hidden rules as well. It all depends on who dares to be the first to try something that goes against the rules.
Lu Youyou recalled what the honey badger warrior had said: that each dungeon has its own set of assessment standards.
So, does this dungeon test courage? Or patience?
Om-!
All three people's watches vibrated simultaneously.
[Huang Cixi: This game is insane! Why can the pros kill people? Look, I even recorded a video. [Video]]
[Zhou Yiling: I saw it. You were probably too far away to hear what the big shot was saying. You only saw her mouth moving. Was she cursing you?]
[Huang Niannian: She wasn't swearing. She said she was bringing warmth because it was cold, and then she just dropped a bomb. We all thought she was crazy and wanted to die, but everyone else got hit by a car and died, and the big boss didn't.]
[Xie Shuqi: Oh, so what's your connection to the big boss? Were those people hit by the big boss?]
[Huang Niannian: If she hadn't planted the bomb, there wouldn't have been any internal strife, and how could they have been hit by cars? So this doesn't count as murder, right? Then what kind of deterrent effect does the eagle have? The game still kills people, doesn't it?]
[Xin Li: Eagle and chicks, huh? Do you really think games are all about eagles? Fighting is the essence of games.]
[Xu Yu: So the fifth rule, players must unite and be friendly and cannot intentionally kill, means that everyone should express concern for others but accidentally kill someone...]
