Chapter 392: Another Death
Shen Mo asked Yan Qingwen, “Are you joining the review team with the intention of staying here for the long term?”
Yan Qingwen shook his head lightly, “The review team is mainly recruiting temporary members this time. As long as you can return from the game and provide new clues, you will get a map. The map will mark the nearby game areas and the suspected range of the maze.”
“Wow…” Bai Youwei murmured, “The professor is so cunning. Most temporary members want to leave here. For them, nothing is more tempting than a map.”
“It’s a clear deal, so it’s fair,” Yan Qingwen said casually with a smile. “If I were Professor Song, I might not be more generous than him.”
Bai Youwei thought for a moment, then turned to Shen Mo, “Should we go too?”
Shen Mo was taken aback.
Yan Qingwen was also surprised, “There will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future. If we get the map, we can share resources. Not everyone has to go to get it.”
His implication was that Shen Mo and Bai Youwei didn’t need to risk bringing more people into their team just for a map.
Yu Yaqing also agreed, “If I get the map, I can give it to you. I don’t plan to leave here for now, so the map is of no use to me.”
“I’m not interested in the map,” Bai Youwei chuckled softly. “I want to see who wants to join the review team. If we meet them in the game, we should be more cautious.”
The greatest opponent in the game was never the game itself.
But the other players inside the game.
They went to the exchange area.
This place was relatively crowded with players who also wanted to join the review team and had to sign up here.
Many people arrived earlier than they did, but few signed up. It seemed everyone was watching and hesitating.
When Bai Youwei entered, many eyes fell on her. Her crutch was hard to ignore. Anyone who had been to the exchange area and seen her exchange notice knew – there was a cripple in the base who wanted to exchange props for puzzle pieces.
Bai Youwei looked around and noticed something. She quietly tugged at Shen Mo’s hand.
“What’s wrong?” Shen Mo asked quietly.
“Look,” Bai Youwei slightly tilted her chin, “Over there, aren’t those two people in white gloves discussing us?”
Shen Mo frowned and followed her gaze.
Those two appeared reluctant to attract attention. As soon as they realized Shen Mo was looking at them, they turned around and headed for the corner.
“They’re wearing gloves in this kind of weather…” Bai Youwei stared at the two individuals, “I saw someone else wearing white gloves at Professor Song’s yesterday. Those gloves were so white…”
Shen Mo looked at them, frowning, as he too found it strange.
Just like Tan Xiao’s shiny hair. In this place where everyone is rushing around, overly clean and tidy things give people a sense of incongruity.
Wearing a pair of white gloves was indeed unnatural, especially since their clothing and shoes weren’t particularly clean but their gloves were immaculate.
They were as white as if they were brand new.
Suddenly, there was a stir outside.
Everyone in the exchange area turned towards the door. Some ran out and shouted, “What’s going on?!”
“The people from Game No. 21 are back!”
“So soon? Didn’t they just leave this morning?”
“How many came back?”
“They came back so soon, they must not have cleared the game!”
Everyone hastily went outside to find out what was going on.
Shen Mo and Yan Qingwen shared a look and followed the crowd outside.
They saw a man in his thirties, thin and scholarly in appearance, wearing a light blue Oxford shirt and white gloves, surrounded by a crowd outside.
He spoke to the crowd with a haggard expression: “Everyone is dead… I was lucky to have the puzzle pieces to escape…”
The crowd seemed about to explode.
Everyone was extremely shocked!
They couldn’t believe it and find it impossible to accept that so many top players went into the game together, and still couldn’t clear it?!
Just how difficult is Game No. 21?!
