Chapter 31 We have a spy
After making sure that the guard had gone far away, Shi Li pushed the door open again.
This time he didn't let Gong Ping find him, so as to avoid this guy shouting again.
There's absolutely no need to waste time on this guy.
Although the mission description said that the spell light balls would refresh randomly, based on human habit, Shi Li still wanted to explore the areas that he had not visited just now.
So at the fork in the road, this time he chose Road 18.
It was also a long, dimly lit passage, with several forks in the road.
After randomly choosing a direction, a new garden appeared in front of me.
It is similar to the Tianzihao Garden, but the arrangement of rocks is different.
"What's going on?"
But what made Shi Li feel even more different was that the garden was quite chaotic at this moment.
[The prisoners rioted! ]
【Support! Request support! 】
[You are so bold, take this stick from me! ]
"I do~!"
"Prepare to die, you cats and dogs!"
"I'm injured, get treated quickly!"
Seven or eight players with numbers on their heads were fighting back and forth with two teams of six-man guards.
Originally, due to the physical bonus of the players, they were not inferior to the guards, and possessing super powers was like adding wings to a tiger.
Some people had sickle-shaped bone blades growing out of their arms, dancing around with great vigor.
Some people have eyes that can emit lasers, but after each wave, they squat down and vomit violently.
Some people even floated in the air, using their height advantage to pick up stones and throw them at people.
Shi Li saw that at least one team of guards was lying on the ground in the garden.
It seems that the contestant has a clear advantage.
"Should we just band together and rebel? That seems to be a good strategy."
That being said, he didn't think this style of play could last long.
Sure enough, in less than 2 minutes, the situation changed.
【roar!!!】
The roar coming from the passage at the other end of the garden immediately boosted the morale of the guards.
【grown ups!】
【The adults are here! 】
[Master, save me! ]
The guards turned their worries into joy.
I saw a tiger-headed man who was as big as the wolf-headed man before, leaping in front of the contestant camp.
Bang!
Even Shi Li, who was hiding in the passage, felt the ground shaking three times.
This tiger-headed man was also dressed like a warrior monk, wielding two bladeless knives.
He has drooping eyes and a white forehead, and there is a neatly arranged Chinese character "王" on the fur on his head.
"Guard officer? What the hell is that?"
"Who cares what official position he has? Let's get to work, brothers!"
"rush!"
It was obvious that the contestants were unaware of how powerful the guards were.
Look at me!
The tiger-headed guard officer suddenly got angry and glared at the contestant closest to him.
"ah?"
The player felt that he couldn't help but look at the other player, and then...
Plop!
His knees went weak and he fell to the ground.
The cat-headed guard who had been waiting nearby directly pressed the activated explosion-proof fork on him.
“Aaaaaaaaah!”
The contestant was shocked by the green energy from the explosion-proof fork and felt uncomfortable all over. He felt as if he had no strength to use and could not climb up even if he wanted to.
"What the hell, what kind of seastone is this?"
"There's something wrong with this tiger-headed man!"
"Brothers, I'm leaving first!"
"The wind is blowing!"
“Mountains and rivers bring us together!”
After all, this is an individual competition, and it is impossible for the players to unite when facing strong opponents.
So when one person gives in, others will follow suit instantly.
However, they did have some tacit understanding when it came to escaping.
There are many paths in this garden, and everyone chooses a different one.
One of them happened to run to Shi Li's side.
"Um?"
When the man got closer, he found that there was another person in the passage. His expression tensed and he quickly turned around.
[There is still a fish that slipped through the net here! 】
Soon, the pursuing guards also discovered Shi Li.
"So unlucky."
Shi Li did not dare to stay and ran away.
Fortunately, he ran fast enough and the guards were wearing heavy armor, so he quickly distanced himself from them and threw them off.
“What’s going on… huh… huh… huh…!”
Hiding in a corner, he supported his knees with his hands and gasped for breath.
But in my heart, I was quite confused.
Because when the contestant approached him just now, he took a look at the other person's number.
That guy is actually... No. 0.
I was the last one to complete the super power extraction, so I am number 99.
Then number 0 is the person who completed the card drawing the fastest at that time.
But aren’t there 100 people in total from 0 to 99?
How come the 99 people who entered the dungeon suddenly became 100 people?
It's haunted!
Unable to figure it out, he opened the task description again and read it word by word.
Then his eyes fell on the last sentence: [Be careful of other prisoners with ulterior motives].
"Yeah, it doesn't mean that the prisoners must be us contestants."
He suddenly understood.
He opened his palm again, and the word "ghost" on it was still clear.
"Could it be that there is a traitor among us?"
"But who is the traitor?"
"etc."
The next second, he opened the leaderboard.
I quickly flipped through it and suddenly discovered the existence of No. 0.
Number 0 exists, number 99 exists, and the ranking list only records the number of spells cast by these players, which means...
"Just count the leaderboard from 0 to 99, and the owner of the missing number is the insider who arranged the copy!"
Just snap your fingers and the solution is here.
So he counted carefully, starting from 0.
"0...1...2...3...4...5...6...Hmm?"
As a result, I had only counted a few numbers when I suddenly realized that the digital chain was broken.
I searched carefully several times, but couldn't find the next number.
"Isn't this a coincidence? Is it really 007?"
…
Inside the viewing box.
"Coach Shi discovered the existence of the traitor so quickly."
Secretary He couldn't help but sigh when he heard Shi Li's words 007.
In a 3-day-long instance, it is very rare to find and identify the correct insider within 2 hours of the start of the game.
"In theory, as long as someone knows about the existence of both 0 and 99, it's only a matter of time before the traitor is discovered."
"But this game was quite a coincidence. He met No. 0 so early."
Director Xiu folded his arms.
"There's nothing we can do. Who made No. 99 in this game so abnormal?"
"The first and second levels of [Demon Lock] were both unlocked in seconds. The cell couldn't hold him at all, so he could wander around freely."
"His talent as a poker player must be related to PVE. How enviable."
Secretary He gave a wry smile.
Comparing his own unusable talent as a poker player, he admitted that he felt jealous.
"But I don't know how he will deal with the other party next."
Director Xiu looked at the direction Shi Li was heading and felt that it wouldn't be long before he would run into the traitor.
…
In a dark corner of the ancient temple, two furtive figures were squatting.
On their heads were the numbers 56 and 7 respectively.
"Sis, are you sure?"
"There are several spells hidden in the guards' treasure chest?"
Contestant No. 56 is a species similar to the Tidal Murloc.
"Of course, why would I lie to you?"
"I overheard this from the guards themselves."
James said, patting No. 56 on the head.
However, what it could not see was that when the other person's hand left, it left a dimly glowing palm print on its smooth forehead.
Just a few minutes had passed and the two had not yet finished their "conspiracy" when the sound of the guards was heard in the distance.
[Here! There is a fugitive here! ]
"Eh?! Sis, what should I do!"
No. 56 suddenly panicked.
"Separate and run, whoever escapes is a winner!"
"I'll go out first and help you attract attention!"
After James finished speaking, he stood up and ran away.
"sister!"
No. 56 was moved on the spot.
However, what it couldn't see was that James ran into the guards head-on as soon as he went out.
In the end, the two sides just exchanged glances and passed each other.
But No. 56, who foolishly ran in the other direction, was destined to return to the cell.
【Ding Dong! 】
[The fish is up to you, put in jail! ]
[The fish is up to you, put in jail! ]
After a while, the broadcast sounded.
"Another one solved."
Hiding in an unused storage room and listening to his own masterpiece, James smiled with satisfaction.
"It was agreed that pure humans would not cheat pure humans."
At this moment, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
When I turned around, I saw Shi Li standing by the door.
“You you you you!”
James was immediately frightened, and his expression was as if he had seen a ghost.
"Weren't you arrested?!"
She clearly heard the prison announcement, so why was this man still here?
It is impossible for the double-locked demon to be cracked in such a short time? !
"Didn't I ask you first?"
Shi Li smiled and did not answer the other party.
"What does it have to do with me? I didn't cheat you!"
"I just took advantage of the chaos to escape!"
James was confident.
"Stop pretending and show your hand."
"You are the insider."
Shi Li didn't want to waste time with her anymore.
"?, I don't understand what you are talking about."
James looked puzzled.
"If I go out and spread the word, your identity as a traitor will probably be known to everyone in no time."
Shi Li ignored the other party's performance and said to himself: "Do you think they will still fall for your trick?"
“…”
Sure enough, after these words were spoken, James's eyes gradually became gloomy.
It seems that we have no choice but to send this guy in jail again. Only in the cell can our negative influence be minimized.
Thinking of this, her left hand hidden behind her back began to glow slightly.
As long as this palm of light is imprinted on the target, the guard team will be able to obtain their location and whereabouts until they are imprisoned.
That's what she's capable of.
"Why, you want to get someone to lock me up in the cell again?"
But Shi Li's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He smiled and said, "Do you think that kind of place can hold me?"
James looked at the other person's expression, and combined with the timing of his first and second prison escapes, he felt that this really didn't seem like a lie.
"In that case, I can only make you shut up forever."
As she spoke, her figure began to gradually straighten up.
As her body straightened up, her swan neck began to stretch rapidly.
When it finally stood up completely, the length of its neck was longer than its body.
Obviously, this is not the body shape that a pure human being should have.
The hunchback she had before was just a disguise to hide her long neck.
At this moment, James was like a monster. His neck swayed gently like a snake, his eyes turned into vertical pupils, and his fangs were exposed.
(Oh my god, what the hell is this?)
Even though it was Shi Li, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.
He expected the other party to be a spy, but he didn't expect it to be a real spy.
But on the surface, he remained calm.
"There's no use scaring me."
"You guards can't kill the prisoners."
He believed that the copy introduction would not deceive him.
If I say the guards can't kill them, then they can't be killed.
"!"
This made James' pupils tremble on the spot: Why does he know this? !
Yes, they couldn't kill the prisoners.
This is not simply a matter of discipline or system, but there is a curse on this ancient temple.
Anyone who enters here and becomes a guard in the temple will inevitably be cursed.
One of the contents of the curse is that the prisoner cannot be killed.
"What do you want?"
She knew that she was completely controlled.
Her neck gradually contracted again and she returned to her hunched back shape.
"No, I should be the one asking you what you want."
Shi Li smiled.
Because he knew that his plan was already half successful.
"I want all of you prisoners dead."
James gritted his teeth.
Among them, some volunteered to be guards, while others were forced to do so.
And she was the kind who was involuntary.
In fact, once you enter the ancient temple, you can't leave easily.
There are only two identities for people here, prisoners or guards.
In fact, to the guards, they are just another type of prisoners, except that their range of movement is slightly larger.
The most important thing is that James knows some information that the other guards don’t know.
First of all, if the seal of the ancient temple gate was really broken, then they, the guards, would be imprisoned here permanently instead of the prisoners and become the real prisoners of the ancient temple.
Secondly, only when all the prisoners in the ancient temple die can the guards regain true freedom.
But also because of the ancient temple curse, she could not tell anyone this information.
She guessed that perhaps the guards also knew this secret.
It’s just that they can’t communicate with each other because of the curse.
However, Shi Li's next words seemed to bring hope to James.
"It's a bit ironic that the guards who can't kill the prisoners want to kill all the prisoners."
"But did you know that prisoners can kill prisoners..."
This is the real purpose of his coming to find the mole.
"Are you telling the truth?!"
James' eyes widened.
"If you don't believe me, I can prove it to you later."
Shi Li picked his ears.
"So, what you mean is..."
For the first time, a genuine smile appeared on James' face.
Although the person standing opposite her was also a damned prisoner, she liked him more and more at this moment.
"Do you want to form an alliance , the kind where cigarettes are exchanged for cigarettes, tea is exchanged for tea, sincerity is exchanged for sincerity."
Shi Li also laughed.
If I defeat all the contestants within 3 days, will the association directly award the championship trophy?
