Chapter 70 - Victor, in fact, I've had my share and you've had yours

Kingdom of the Underlanders, an abandoned tailor's shop.

Lin Yi gradually came to her senses. She did not open her eyes at first, she still pretended to be unconscious and listened quietly to the sounds of movement around her. Soon she heard a playful male voice: "You're awake, why are you pretending to be asleep? Do you want me to go to the palace and ask the prince to come out and kiss you before you will wake up? ... Huh, that seems like a good suggestion."

Lin Yi's face flushed and she opened her eyes in a hurry. She stared at Mr B, dressed as a minstrel, sitting on a dirty wooden box, looking at her with a smile on his face. He was still wearing his grey mask, and Lin Yi could not tell what he looked like. His exposed eyes were pretty, but when paired with the odd smile that never changed, they were unpleasant.

Lin Yi is tied to a post, staring coldly at Mr B. Suddenly, another figure appears in her peripheral vision. She looks warily to her right.

It was a tall ... underground man (I think it was a man, not a monster) in strange armour leaning against a table, standing behind Mr B. A large letter A hovered above his head.

Mr. A stood quietly behind Mr. B. The two men were more eccentric and mysterious than one another.

Suddenly, Mr. A turned his head to look at Lin Yi. Even though his face was hidden by his silver helmet, Lin Yi felt a chill run through her body. She had an inexplicable feeling that Mr. A was even more terrifying than Mr. B. She might have a chance of escaping from Mr. B, but there was no way she could survive him. She might have a chance to escape from Mr. B, but there was no way she could survive under Mr. A.

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and stared at the terrifying Mr A and Mr B without saying a word.

Half an hour earlier, Tang Mo had carried the woman into the hut and waited ten minutes for Fu Wenduo to arrive. Lin Yi was still unconscious, so she didn't know that the smile on Mr B's face that annoyed her most had disappeared as soon as she passed out. Tang Mo brought her here as quickly as he could, and when he met Fu Wenduo, they exchanged information.

"Those two were rescued by four players," Fu Wenduo's voice is calm, and by two he means Wang Yinggui and Old Bird. He continues, "They didn't take the monster with them, and now that monster is in the next room."

Tang Mo walked to the room and looked at the large monster in the sack and turned back, "Good, no injuries?"

Fu Wenduo said, "It's all minor injuries. Are you injured?"

Tang Mo's sleeve was cut and his shirt was stained with some blood. He said, "It's also a minor injury."

They talked for a while and waited half a day before Lin Yi woke up. Tang Mo didn't think his slash was that serious, he really only struck him lightly and who would have thought that Lin Yi would be unconscious for more than half an hour. The second before Lin Yi woke up, Tang Mo was still thinking about his next plan, but once he woke up, he put on a smile and continued to cos Bai Ruoyao.

Lin Yi didn't say anything, and she didn't expect Mr. A and Mr. B to say anything either. After a few minutes of stalemate, Lin Yi said through gritted teeth, "What the hell are you trying to do by bringing me here, are you trying to set a trap for me and catch my teammates? It's impossible. The captain can't risk his life on my own. Just kill me, take me hostage, you'll get nothing."

Tang Mo gave her a long, meaningful look.

The tone of voice was certain, clearly not telling a lie, that her team was truly not likely to risk their lives for her and would not come to her rescue.

"Who said I was going to kill you?"

Lin Yi was stunned, and she quickly hid the surprise in her eyes: "Then what do you want? Could it be that ... you want me to betray the team? That is even more unlikely. You'd better kill me, I'll die, and I won't reveal any of the team's plans." In fact they didn't have a plan either, the captain said to do everything as they saw fit.

Tang Mo gave a cheeky laugh.

At the sound of this laugh, Fu Wenduo's eyebrows raised slightly in his helmet.

Lin Yi is waiting for Mr B to pronounce her death sentence. She is not afraid to die, she is lucky to have survived this long and to have cleared the first level of The black tower. The five of them have been friends since before the launch of Earth, and whoever joined the team had an understanding from day one that they could die, but they would never betray the team. There were once seven of them in the team, and two of their teammates died on The black tower level, leaving only five of them.

Having experienced life and death, they trust their teammates more and trust the team.

Lin Yi clenched her fist as she made up her mind and spoke, "Kill me!"

Tang Mo laughed, "So how do you kill you?"

Lin Yi didn't expect Tang Mo to say he didn't want to kill her one minute, but now he was suddenly asking how to kill her. The man was quicker than a book, so Lin Yi said between her teeth, "Whatever you want.

"How about cutting it into chunks?"

Lin Yi: "As ... as you like."

Tang Mo thought, "Fry it in the frying pan to make it crispy and tastier, OK?"

Lin Yi: "As you wish!"

Tang Mo: "Then why don't we skin you first, wash you in water and then put you in ..."

Clang!

A sharp dagger swished out from behind Mr B, grazing Lin Yi's face and stabbing her straight into the stone wall behind her. The dagger thrower was so good that Lin Yi could clearly feel the cold blade cutting the cold hairs on her face, but not piercing her skin.

The moment the dagger came, Lin Yi tasted death. Her heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was going to jump out of her mouth. She had been determined to die, but at that moment she was afraid. She didn't want to die, she didn't want to die at all, she still wanted to live!

Fu Wenduo withdrew his hand and said, "It's crooked."

This was something that hadn't been said before when the plan was discussed, and Tang Mo was shocked, but he quickly replied, " Donji, you're scaring our lovely food."

Lin Yi, who almost pissed his trousers in fear: "..."

After a series of threats from Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo, Lin Yi was really frightened and did not dare to try her luck again. When Tang Mo saw her fear, he realised that the stage was pretty much set. He stood up, walked over to Lin Yi and bent down to look at her level.

Tang Mo narrowed his eyes, "Huh, you're not a stowaway."

Lin Yi swallowed hard and didn't answer.

"You're not a stowaway. The humans we met earlier, were they stowaways?"

Lin Yi understood that Tang Mo was referring to the players on the outskirts and she thought for a moment: "... They should be stowaways. Normal players don't just kill people. I've encountered a stowaway squad in the game before, and after the game ended, they killed a fellow reserve player and stole his reward."

Tang Mo: "So. How many of you are there, trying to steal the circus master's monster? I know, but The black tower would sneak this kind of information to you."

Lin Yi: "Thirty-six of them."

Tang Mo wasn't surprised when the other party lied about the number: "So many? Donji, you had two just a few days ago, have you killed any more recently?"

Fu Wenduo, who had been forced to eat a human being, gave Tang Mo a quick glance and said, "No. Viktor, in fact I only ate half of it, the other half was for you." He reminded kindly.

A calm and collected Lin Yi: "..."

Tang Mo: "A bit of an opponent, Donji, this is perhaps the biggest challenge of our detective career. Do you think I should eat this human now, or do something else?" To prevent Fu Wenduo from making any more surprising remarks, Tang Mo asked himself, "Well, it's time to do something interesting. That's some tasty stowaways." With that, Tang Mo turned his head and looked at Lin Yi with a smile.

An hour later, a young woman wakes up in a dark alleyway. The next second she wakes up, Lin Yi immediately observes her surroundings. Her hand rests on the dart she has in her pocket. It was her secret weapon, as Mr B was so much stronger than her that she was overpowered by him before she could use her concealed weapon.

Looking around, Lin Yi finds herself in an empty alleyway. She ran out of the alleyway as fast as her feet would take her. After two hours of circling around outside to make sure Mr A and Mr B weren't following her, Lin Yi ran back to the wooden shack by the pier.

When she entered the house, she found it empty. Remembering what the captain had said about secret contacts, Lin Yi walked over to the sandbox in the centre of the room and looked at the few small stones placed in it. Twelve small white stones were scattered on the sand and Lin Yi looked at them for a moment and deciphered the answer, "Under the pier, location B."

Ten minutes later, Lin Yi found her teammates, and at the same time she saw two strange people.

Mr. Li rushed over to Lin Yi, "Lin, you're finally back. What happened? What took you so long? Are you injured?"

Lin Yi's shoulder was bleeding from the pretty boy's black swarm bite and she said, "It's okay."

The man with the glasses walked over, "Is anyone following?"

Lin Yi shook his head, "Definitely not."

The man with the glasses sighed in relief.

Lin Yi's gaze swept over the two strange men in the corner, and she turned her head to look at the man with glasses with a serious expression, "Captain, I ran into Mr. B today and fought with him." Being unilaterally suppressed by Mr. B was also considered a fight, Lin Yi said, "Mr. B is very strong, I feel that you and Hao combined, Captain, might barely be his opponent. And he kind of saved my life. I ran into a group of stowaways."

Lin Yi gave so much information in one go that everyone in the hut looked at her in disbelief.

The man with glasses calmed down, "Xiaoyi, take your time and talk things out."

"Here's the thing, I went to follow a player this afternoon as assigned by the captain and then ran into the group of stowaways on the outskirts ..."

Lin Yi details everything she knows, including the fact that Mr B saved her and knocked her out again. And finally everything she saw in the tailor's shop: "Mr ...A was there too. Finally Mr B said it wasn't impossible to let me go, but there were too many of us players - I lied to him that there were thirty-six players in total. He let me go and asked me to come back and tell you ..."

Lin Yi looked up at the man with the glasses, his eyes hesitant, "Captain, he wants to cooperate."
