Chapter 90 - 90: 90: Brocade Bag Prop
Upon hearing Bai Youwei’s words, Zhang Tianyang was taken aback, even a little disbelieving.
“Our movement has a bug?! What bug?”
This was the strategy he and his classmates had discussed together. They had the advantage of numbers, and using a continuous approach would maximize their manpower and allow them to find the correct path as quickly as possible. And Bai Youwei was saying their method had a bug?!
Bai Youwei glanced at him indifferently, her tone cold, “Interesting. Why should I tell you?”
“…” Zhang Tianyang was speechless.
“Unless you can give a reason for entering the maze, I might consider helping.”
Bai Youwei raised a corner of her mouth, a cunning smile on her face, “So, shall we exchange information?”
“I see.” Tan Xiao snapped to attention, looking puzzled towards Tu Dan, “You’re a female teacher. Unlike us, you don’t have the abilities or experience. You don’t know anything, so why did you bring students into this and stir up trouble?”
Being frank can be a double-edged sword.
Tu Dan went crimson, a look of embarrassment on her face.
Bai Youwei, on the other hand, didn’t hold back her laughter.
Tu Dan is usually careful. Of course, she didn’t come here to make trouble, but it’s hard to deal with someone like Tan Xiao, who has his own unique logic. It’s really unspeakable, there’s no way to explain.
Shen Mo quietly squeezed Bai Youwei’s palm, signalling her to control her laughter.
Whether she didn’t understand or deliberately misinterpreted his intentions, she responded with a beaming smile and squeezed his palm back, giggling, even scratching in a playful manner.
Shen Mo: ‘
He did not want to engage in such childish behavior.
Shen MO withdrew his hand, looking indifferent, “The reason Ms. Tu is unwilling to speak up could well be related to the final reward of the maze game, right? The reward of an independent instance must be quite tempting. It’s only human, we understand.”
He lowered his eyelids, continuing without emotion, “Since we are all in the maze, we’ll rely on our own skills from now on.”
All along, Tu Dan’s attitude has been less than candid, including her current attempt at cooperation, which was a mix of truth and testing, without showing any sincerity.
So let’s each rely on our own skills—don’t actively harm others, but don’t actively help either. This was the most goodwill Shen MO could offer.
Tu Dan’s face reddened further in embarrassment, “Mr. Shen, that’s not what I meant…”
“Please don’t misunderstand, it’s not that Ms. Tu doesn’t want to tell you.” Zhang Tianyang interrupted Tu Dan, explaining, “It’s because it involves my tool, Ms. Tu was afraid that I would mind, so she didn’t fully explain to you. It’s actually this thing…”
He took a piece of paper from his pocket and calmly handed it to Shen Mo.
There were only two sentences on the paper: “Collect all the pieces of the puzzle to clear all games.”
“Location of the puzzle: The misty place.”
Zhang Tianyang said, “In the lucky question game, I had obtained the highest score and received a Brocade Bag as a reward. With the Brocade Bag, I could ask the Inspector any question, and he would have to answer.”
He paused for two seconds, seeming a bit embarrassed, then continued, “I used the item on the spot. The question I asked was… ahem, how to make the
puppet game disappear and restore peace to everyone’s lives.”
Wow, that’s quite ambitious.
Bai Youwei craned her neck to take a look, asking him, “You can’t determine that the maze is within the mist just based on this.”
They had brought so many ropes and flags when they entered, so it was obvious they were well-prepared, unless the Inspector had revealed other information to them.
Zhang Tianyang did not immediately respond this time, but instead looked at Tu Dan first.
Tu Dan frowned and nodded at him. Only then did Zhang Tianyang continue, “I suppose Ms. Tu has already told you about my injury, which was caused by another player. Actually, after leaving the game at that time, they wanted to continue attacking us, but luckily some people happened to pass by and saved us. We learned about the maze from those people.”
Bai Youwei curiously asked, “What kind of people were they?”
