Chapter 129 - ENTERING THE DUNGEON (2/2)

”Zhenya!  Don't be so insensitive,” the girl in the yellow robe scolded.

”Oh please.  Don't be such a hypocrite, Guiying.  You make it sound like I only care about myself.  Are you aware of what we are being accused of?  Attempting to kill Prince Lin Rong and the crown prince!  We could be beheaded!” the girl names Zhenya almost shouted.

”B-but we have nothing to do with it,” one of the other girls said, clearly scared by what Zhenya said.

”Would those people care?  They just needed someone to blame!  And we're just conveniently there, ready to be sacrificed,” Zhenya added.

Well, Luo Yan had to admit, this Zhenya had a point.  But that was only applicable if all of the four girls here were really innocent.  And he highly doubted that.

The girl who just talked before Zhenya made her tirade suddenly burst into tears.  The other girl hugged her and then also cried.

”Oh, shut up, you two!  Do you think crying would save anything?”

”Stop it, Zhenya!” Guiying – the girl in the yellow robe – shouted.

Zhenya glared at Guiying before stomping towards the corner of the prison cell.

Guiying shook her head before turning to Luo Yan.  ”Are you really alright, Shishi?  Your wound, does it hurt?”

”I'm fine,” he said in Shishi's usual cold tone.

It was only for a moment, but Luo Yan noticed the confusion in Guiying's face.  As if she couldn't believe that she really was fine.  And then her expression immediately went back to that of someone who's worried about her friend.

Man, those game designers really programmed these NPCs really well.

Then he thought back to that momentary confusion that he saw.  It's almost as if she knew he shouldn't be sitting here, all alive and well.  Only someone who knew that the dagger that stabbed him was laced with a special kind of poison unique to Wei would react that way.

Maybe he wouldn't need to act his way out to get that information their team needed after all.  And here he thought he could show-off his amazing interrogation skills to Shen Ji Yun.

To confirm his guess, he leaned down and whispered into Guiying's ear, ”They already found out about Wei.”

He saw her eyes widened and then she turned sharply to Luo Yan.  ”How…?”

And then she gasped and covered her mouth as if she didn't mean to say what she just said.

Luo Yan smiled inside.  Got you.
