Chapter 56.1 (1/2)

Brother Thief’s eyes swept over everyone with his black eye sockets. Then he suddenly raised his head like he sensed the location of the broken lens and chased after Du Sanying who had already run far away. The entire carriage was shaken by Brother Thief’s run and shook like it was going to fall apart.

Liu Huai let out a sigh of relief. He had thought he would have to fight like before. He smiled bitterly when he thought of this. He didn’t want to attack Mu Sicheng again and force Mu Sicheng to enter the rage state for the third time. Mu Sicheng, the one who was cut, had no psychological shadow while Liu Huai, the one who cut people, was about to have a psychological shadow.

Puppet Zhang looked at Bai Liu. “Did you deliberately ask Du Sanying to hang the broken lens outside to lure Brother Thief away? You already knew that there would be a Brother Thief at this station and had Du Sanying lure him away?”

“Yes.” Bai Liu nodded. “I found that the monsters at every station aren’t new but actually came from the previous station.”

Puppet Zhang wondered, “How did you find out?”

Bai Liu raised his eyes. “It is because the number of exploding passengers is increasing at every platform though we have attacked them.”

Puppet Zhang realized. The number of passengers was indeed much higher this time compared to the last station. The increase in monsters would further increase the difficulty for players to steal the broken lenses and escape. It was no wonder that Bai Liu wanted Du Sanying to guide Brother Thief away. If Brother Thief and the increased passengers flocked in together, the players really wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

However, no matter if it was players stealing Brother Thief’s broken lens or players distracting Brother Thief, the survival rate couldn’t be too high. Puppet Zhang’s face became darker and darker. No wonder why all the players who previously played this game were wiped out. This game was really disgusting. Brother Thief appeared when there were still seven stations. This game had seven players in total. Seven players and seven stations. One station would kill exactly one player and they would be wiped out at the last station…

Yet under Bai Liu, they actually arrived at the fourth station without one player dying. In the last station, Mu Sicheng took one step into the ghost gate before being pulled back. This station was Du Sanying…

Tut.

Puppet Zhang glanced at Bai Liu. This guy was really good at using his brain and using people. Du Sanying might be useless but the possibility of him dying or being robbed was very low. Using him to lure away Brother Thief was the best option but—

“Aren’t you worried about Du Sanying being too scared to lure Brother Thief and putting the broken lens in the system backpack?” Puppet Zhang asked with narrowed eyes. “This is a very dangerous thing. How are you sure that Du Sanying won’t escape? if he escapes the battle and Brother Thief turns back to attack us, we are all in danger.”

Bai Liu answered, “I am in a cooperative relationship with him.”

Puppet Zhang understood and was a bit surprised. “Du Sanying’s luck value is 100% yet he is controlled by you?!”

He had tried to control Du Sanying many times but his puppet silk thread couldn’t even touch Du Sanying’s side! It would be interrupted somehow! Du Sanying had a very famous item called ‘Release Control Jacket’. No control skills could penetrate this coat and it was one of the reasons why Puppet Zhang gave up on controlling Du Sanying.

Bai Liu shrugged and smiled. “Perhaps for players like Du Sanying, being controlled by me is a type of luck?”

Puppet Zhang who silently watched as Du Sanying was chased by Brother Thief while crying and calling for his mother, “……”

‘Okay, if you say that this is Du Sanying’s luck…’

The overall gathering of lenses this time was very smooth. Apart from Du Sanying who only had swear words to say, the rest of the group had an incredibly relaxed mood as they found all 40 pieces. Liu Huai and Mu Sicheng were responsible for getting the lenses and couldn’t avoid the fire damage from the passengers, so their health decreased each by 20.

“The use of defense items like the bandage can’t reduce the fire damage.” Mu Sicheng’s clothes were burned, revealing his stained chest and abdominal muscles. His face was also blackened and his hands were sweaty and black. He looked like a coal miner.

Mu Sicheng gasped as he sat on the ground. He raised his bandaged hands to wipe his chest before putting both hands on his knees as he looked up at Bai Liu. “I only have 40 health left. I can hold up for two more stations.”

Liu Huai also wiped the sweat from his chin with the back of his hand, gasping in a tired manner on the ground. “My health is 70 points. I can hold on for three stations.”

Bai Liu mused for a moment. “Everyone, tell me your health. I have 6 points.”

Li Gou said, “65.”

Fang Ke answered, “80.”

Puppet Zhang said, “85.”

Du Sanying, who had been chased the entire time, was strangely silent. After a long time, he gulped. “…100 points.”

Even Bai Liu fell into a speechless silence.
