Congratulations on Your Successful Escape

Chapter 75

Hearing this familiar female voice, Mo Yi couldn’t help but freeze, and his breathing stopped for a few seconds.

He quickly regained his composure, and put down the arm he subconsciously raised as if nothing had happened. His face was as calm as usual, and no one around him noticed his unusual behavior.

In Mo Yi’s heart a stormy sea set off.

He slowly tightened his fingers, his palms wet with sweat, and his fingertips as cold as stone, but the blood in his heart was hot and rushing against his pulse, screaming with pain– excitement.

The excitement of being one step closer to the truth.

But… why did the game send him this prompt at this time?

Mo Yi slightly lowered his eyes, thought for a while in his heart, and came up with a vague idea.

After he figured out that the game world was connected with the real world and found the relevant evidence, he opened the membership test. Now he found that every instance that was not successfully cleared would be opened repeatedly. After receiving the disguised recognition of the game NPC, he got a system prompt– “Congratulations, you have taken another step towards becoming a member of the senior club.”

Could it be that… the difference between senior members and ordinary players was the degree of mastery of the game rules?

But now there was no more evidence to prove his guess.

Mo Yi no longer lingered on it, but raised his eyes, walked around the semi-dark room inconspicuously, and after making sure that no one noticed his abnormal behavior, walked to the In front of those players who were trying to break free from the spider silk on their bodies.

The few players, who hadn’t fully recovered from the paralyzing poison of the spider, had been again attacked by Yu Ran. They knew almost nothing about what happened just now, and only had some vague impressions.

While struggling to pull off the sticky white spider webs, they hissed and complained in low voices that the back of their necks hurt so badly for some reason.

Seeing their distressed appearance, Yu Ran couldn’t help feeling a little guilty in her heart.

She squatted down, and Zhou Yunchen helped to tear off the spider threads wrapped around the other three players, avoiding to meet the eyes of those embarrassed people.

Just when the spider webs were almost torn apart, Yu Ran caught a glimpse of a pair of familiar shoes in front of her eyes.

Yu Ran raised her head subconsciously, meeting Mo Yi’s gaze.

He lowered his eyelids slightly, with a pair of terrifying dark eyes half hidden under his slender eyelashes, looking down at them quietly.

There was no emotion on Mo Yi’s face, it could even be called mild, but Yu Ran just seemed to be overwhelmed.

She collected herself and was about to say something when Mo Yi interrupted her:

“Let me help.”

As he said that, he also squatted down, and while stretching out his hand to untie the sticky spider silk, he added calmly:

“Yu Ran, go and tell Zhou Yunchen what he needs to know. I’ll do it here.”

Yu Ran was stunned for a few seconds, then waved to Zhou Yunchen knowingly, the two stood up and walked to the side one after the other, whispering in the dark.

The three players who had just woken up seemed a little confused about the situation in front of them. They looked at Mo Yi who was squatting down in a daze, and didn’t know how to speak for a while.

There was an embarrassing silence in the air, only the murmur of a low voice not far away could be heard.

Mo Yi lowered his head with a calm face, and the movement of his hands were unhurried, neat and meticulous.

An older player hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Where did the spider that attacked us just now go?”

Hearing this, Mo Yi glanced at him, and said flatly, “It’s dead.”

Dead?!

The three players were all shocked. They saw with their own eyes how terrifying the giant spider’s figure was, its swift and fierce movements, and its long poisonous legs. How could it so easily die?

The colors on their faces changed a few times, as they looked at Mo Yi with strange eyes.

How could this be possible?!

Now the only survivors were senior players. They had experienced at least three or four instances, and they had some understanding of the game’s mechanics. They also knew that this game hardly gave players a chance to fight back.

Now just with these three people… they actually killed that terrifying spider? This was too incredible!

.

If they had heard someone say that before, they would have thought that person was either a liar or a delirious lunatic, but seeing Mo Yi’s calm look combined with the chaos in the room before them, they felt Inclined to– what he said might be true.

Mo Yi’s expression didn’t change. He didn’t pay attention to those people with different faces, but quickly removed the last remaining cobwebs on their bodies.

He stood up, looked down at the three of them, and said with a gentle and calm expression:

“According to the mechanism of this instance that I understand now, all the remaining people are grasshoppers on the same rope, and none of us can die.”

The faces of the three of them also slowly sank.

They were all players who could judge the situation. They all heard the seriousness and earnestness in Mo Yi’s words, and clearly realized that he was not joking.

A player patted the remaining scraps of cobwebs on his body, then struggled to stand up and looked at Mo Yi. He smiled and said with a good attitude:

“Although I thank you for saving us, it is unrealistic for us to accept your statement without any doubt. Do you have more evidence to support it?”

Hearing the player’s probing tone, Mo Yi smiled lightly, but the smile didn’t show in his eyes.

He was too lazy to fight with them and spy on each other, so he simply spread his words and said:

“Now that the side quest has been opened, this instance will be even more dangerous in the coming time. I won’t stop you from looking for clues to the side quest, but I won’t just offer our results with both hands.

I must also remind you, before you are attacked, another monster that does not belong to this room could kill you in advance. Please think twice about it.”

The player who stood up turned blue and then pale, and was speechless for a while.

He did have other intentions to probe secretly just now, hoping that Mo Yi could directly share the information he got, but he didn’t expect that the other party not only saw through his intention in an instant, but even said it mercilessly, It made him unable to step down for a while.

He was a little annoyed, and was about to say something to ridicule the other party’s overfilling brain, but just as his eyes met Mo Yi’s slightly cold black eyes, an illusion of being seen through instantly hit his heart, and he couldn’t help but feel guilty.

Hos organized words got stuck in his throat, he opened his mouth in awkwardly, and finally admitted his dumb fault aggrieved.

At this time, a familiar mechanical female voice came from Mo Yi’s ear:

“Dangdangdangdang, congratulations to player number 13 Zhou Yunchen, who unlocked the hidden plot of this escape game!

The side missions are open, completing the side missions will reward rich points, players please keep working hard!”

Hearing the sound, Mo Yi raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Yunchen and Yu Ran who were walking from the darkness, with a slight smile on his face.

In the process of killing the spider just now, Zhou Yunchen didn’t have to play a role with himself and Yu Ran. But without him, the whole plan would have been difficult to succeed.

He had never been stingy about sharing side quests with those who really contribute.

Yu Ran, who was walking in front, looked calm, while Zhou Yunchen, who was walking behind, seemed a little dazed, as if he hadn’t recovered from the excessive amount of information.

Mo Yi stepped forward and was about to say something, but saw a pale face slowly emerge from the darkness beside him.

Yu Ran and Zhou Yunchen, who had met Ivy, were quite calm about her appearance, while the reactions of the other three players who had seen her from outside were much more exaggerated.

Their faces paled suddenly, and a high-pitched scream broke out from their throats.

Mo Yi was taken aback by their sudden cry, and looked at the three trembling people who turned around and wanted to run away with some displeasure.

The three of them finally discovered Mo Yi’s calm attitude towards this strange face. Although they were still afraid, they tremblingly stopped their feet that were about to run wildly, and stood stiffly in place, hoping to put their own sense of presence to a minimum.

Ivy didn’t even look at them, she just stared at Mo Yi closely, her pair of pitch-black eyes looked gloomy, which made people feel apprehensive.

Her cold and hoarse voice sounded in the cold air: “You want to know why I let you go, don’t you?”

Mo Yi stared at her calmly, quietly waiting for her to continue.

“…Because I’m so stupid.”

A trace of human sadness flashed across the stiff and pale face suspended in the air, but in the next second it was blocked by a cold and sharp wall again: “Stupid enough to still have hope.”

The dark room was silent, and the air seemed to stagnate into a solid body, like a real quagmire, dragging everyone’s heart to the bottom of the valley, slowly pouring into nose and mouth, causing a long feeling of suffocation.

Ivy broke out into an ugly laugh: “Aren’t you going to break the game? I’ll tell you how to break the game.”

Mo Yi’s eyes became brighter, and he stared straight at Ivy.

Ivy took a few steps back, her pale face was almost swallowed by darkness again, she said coldly:

“In the attic, under the sheep’s head, there is what you want.”

Her face was blurry in the chaotic darkness:

“You’re the farthest I’ve ever seen anyone walk, maybe I can…”

A series of weird and vicious giggles came from her mouth:

“However, if you also fail, I don’t mind helping you so that your death will not be so painful and hopeless.”

Ivy’s piercing and sharp laughter was like thousands of awls and poisonous needles passing through the wall, her hoarse voice contained malice and the coldness of death, as her well-defined features melted into a blur of wax oil.

Then, everyone watched the terrifying face slowly disappearing into the darkness.
