Chapter 228 - Saving the Maids (1/2)

Chapter 228 Saving the Maids“It is none of your business.”

Tang Xia replied coldly and left after pushing Li Xianxian aside.

Behind her, Li Xianxian’s exquisite face became slightly twisted as she continued to scream hysterically, “Tang Xia, stop wasting effort! You will never win!”

Even after Tang Xia heard her voice, she did not pause. She continued to move forward without looking back and pushed Li Xianxian’s voice and figure far away in the back of her mind.

Everything that Li Xianxian had done had served the purpose of obtaining the final victory. In order to achieve her goal, she could be unscrupulous even at the cost of her own reputation.

However, Tang Xia was different. She treated Pearl, La Chapelle and the Hell Girls with sincerity. She was not just doing a live stream. She genuinely wanted to help them escape from the Garden of Eden and regain their freedom.

Many people thought that she was foolish to devote herself to them when she obviously knew that they were virtual characters.

However, that was how Tang Xia live-streamed. This was the intrinsic difference between her and Li Xianxian. Unfortunately, people like Li Xianxian would never understand this.

After she left the big auditorium, Tang Xia returned straight to the laboratory to find La Chapelle.

Tang Xia was unaware of the situation inside, so she first snuck into the storage room and pressed her ear against the door to eavesdrop on the activity inside. However, it was silent inside.

She had clearly seen many scientists return to the laboratory previously. Why was there no sound? What was going on?

After some hesitation, Tang Xia pushed open the door probingly and a strange medicinal scent instantly filled her nostrils.

Tang Xia frowned subconsciously and was surprised to see the scientists sprawled all over the ground. They seemed to have lost their consciousness.

As Tang Xia was shocked and bewildered, she felt her head spin so fast that she almost fainted.

“Tang Xia!” Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard, making Tang Xia recover some of her consciousness. She saw La Chapelle hand her a wet towel. “Use this to cover your mouth and nose.”

Baffled, Tang Xia followed her instructions. When she felt a cooling sensation on the tip of her nose, she recovered from her dizziness.

After she left the laboratory with La Chapelle, Tang Xia could not help but ask, “What exactly is going on?” Why were those scientists knocked out on the ground within such a short period of time?

La Chapelle smiled slyly. “While they were not looking, I placed some drugs in the vents that made them pass out.”

It turned out that while La Chapelle had been looking for the antidote, she had also hidden some chloroform on her body. When these scientists had returned, she had secretly placed the drug in the vents and quietly hidden up and covered her nose and mouth so that she would not be affected by the scent.

No wonder La Chapelle had told her not to worry. It turned out that she had been prepared. When Tang Xia heard this, she secretly praised La Chapelle for her thoughtfulness.

“I just found some antidotes in the cupboard. I combination with what I found previously, this should be sufficient to restore the consciousness of the maids in the Garden of Eden.”

La Chapelle spoke to Tang Xia as she took out a few green medicine bottles. After she had knocked out those scientists, La Chapelle had found the keys on their bodies and opened the locked cabinet she had been unable to search through previously.

One had to admit that these scientists were also very cautious. Other than being obscurely hidden, the antidotes had also been spread out.

Tang Xia nodded. Now, there was no need to worry about the antidote. The question was how to get the maids to consume the antidote. Judging from the amount of effort it had taken Tang Xia to get Pearl to take the medicine, it would obviously be very difficult to make the maids consume the medicine solely based on her and La Chapelle’s efforts.

After the two of them talked for some time, they decided to go to hell to seek help from the Hell Girls.

As soon as they reached hell, the Hell Girls hurled abuse at Tang Xia and gave her a hateful look upon seeing her.

“Why are you here again?”

“Get lost! You are not welcome here!”

“Nothing good comes out of seeing you.”

“Get lost, you jinx!”

“…”

This abuse and scolding attitude went on incessantly. The Hell Girls had been severely punished because of the last rebellion and thus directed their resentment towards Tang Xia.

Upon seeing this situation, Tang Xia and La Chapelle both felt very helpless.

“I know that none of you trust me now, but please ask your hearts. Are you really give going to give up on the chance to regain your freedom?”

Tang Xia stepped forward as she spoke, but her voice was quickly drowned out by the curses of the Hell Girls. In the face of their anger, words were simply too weak.

Hailada was the only one who did not insult Tang Xia like the other Hell Girls. Instead, she stood on her side, even though she appeared to be in a slightly difficult position. “Tang Xia, I believe in you, but we are locked here right now. What can we do?”

After the last rebellion, Chu Tianjiao had cancelled the free time of the Hell Girls and even locked the door. Every day, the door would only open briefly when the maids came to deliver the meals.

When Tang Xia heard this, she did not back off like Hailada had expected. Instead, she asked Hailada when the maids would come to deliver the meals. Coincidentally, this would happen soon.
