Chapter 331: Waiting for Her
“Maybe, you know~” Bai Youwei replied unbothered, laughing, “Perhaps it’s because none of you ever prayed, so you couldn’t trigger the game. After all, any condition might trigger it.”
Yu Yaqing just huffed and didn’t say a word.
She found Bai Youwei irrational and did not bother to engage in a verbal spat.
It was Shen Fei on the side who took up the conversation, saying, “There should be no problem. Most of the people invited to the feast today have entered game zone 24, but none of them have triggered the game! It doesn’t make sense that there would be an incident now, just when they’re having a meal!”
Bai Youwei thought for a moment and asked, “It’s clear that these people are all physically fit young people. Since they can’t trigger the game, is there anything special about the rest of them?”
Shen Fei was taken aback, “… You mean, the rest of the people might trigger the game?”
At that moment, a whistle sound echoed from the distance again.
Three short and one long this time.
“It’s our turn.” Yu Yaqing stepped forward, “Let’s go.”
Everyone followed her.
Remembering what Bai Youwei had just said, Shen Fei groped along in the darkness, asking as he went:
“The remaining people… that’s you guys… oh! And Yan Qingwen, that bulky guy surnamed Lu, the girl in pink… But what could you all have in common? Are you all newcomers here?… No, that doesn’t make sense…”
Teacher Chang sighed heavily: “Unless the game is actually triggered, no one could determine what the conditions are. Alas, it seems that sacrifices are inevitable…”
“Ay! You guys are talking nonsense!” Tan Xiao said nonchalantly, “You’re talking like we’re about to enter the game! Do you think, as we walk, someone might suddenly disappear? That would be too creepy! Right, Brother Mo?”
Shen Mo stopped.
As soon as he stopped, Tan Xiao bumped right into his back, halting with a yelp. Chang Weicai and Pan Xiaoxin behind him also bumped into each other.
“What happened?” Tan Xiao rubbed his nose, “Why aren’t we moving?”
Shen Mo remained stunned…
His two hands, held in a bent position, were suspended in mid-air, yet his palms… were empty.
The handles of the wheelchair were gone.
“Bai Youwei?”
He called out tentatively. His voice was quiet, but each echo in the desolate underground car park was clear and audible.
Tan Xiao was shocked: “Weiwei’s gone?!”
He took out a lighter from his pocket and illuminated the surroundings, but there was nothing.
“Damn! What kind of way did that bitch take us on!” Tan Xiao cursed, “How did she just disappear?!!”
Shen Fei, standing alone at the front, trembled, “Stop cursing… Team Leader Yu is also gone…”
Pan Xiaoxin’s face turned pale as she tightly grasped Teacher Chang’s hand, “Sister Weiwei has entered the game…”
“It is women.” Shen Mo suddenly said.
Everyone turned to look at him.
In the dim light from the lighter, his figure was deep and dark, every line of his face tense.
“Many women were at the feast today.” Shen Mo’s voice dropped lower with each word, he said solemnly, “Only women can trigger game 24.”
They were stunned.
Shen Fei paled, “The wife of the supply team leader was also there today. She hardly ever shows up…”
“They need to be contacted immediately.” Shen Mo declared definitively, “Tan Xiao, get in touch with Yan Qingwen, there must be trouble on their end as well! Food, water, medical supplies, and tents, have it all brought here! Teacher Chang, you, and Xiaoxin, go back first!”
“What about you?” Teacher Chang asked worriedly.
Shen Mo pursed his lips, and replied: “I will wait for her here.”
