Chapter 162 Player Alliance
An hour before the Blood Moon Shadow event began, Guo Xinwen found Chen Jiangqiao and explained that they had confirmed Yu Ling was the traitor and hoped that the two sides could negotiate peacefully once again.
"Could this be a trap?" Wang Zhe suspected that Su Yuning was playing tricks, using the guise of cooperation to set a trap and catch them all in one fell swoop.
Chen Jiangqiao agreed: "I also think it's better not to go. There's only an hour left, so let's think about our plans for the future."
After a moment's thought, Ji Xingyi decided to give them a chance: "At the root of the matter, what we are fighting against is not the NPCs, but the Dead Soul Island behind the NPCs."
"Throughout history, individuals have been weak, yet they have used their wisdom to rule the world. But in the face of Death Soul Island, the wisdom of an individual is always limited." Ji Xingyi looked at Chen Jiangqiao. Neither of them were Jiang Lin. Even if Jiang Lin were, could he really calculate everything perfectly without any omissions?
"Why can players only have suspicion and not trust?"
"A single spark can start a prairie fire."
Chen Jiangqiao hesitated. Indeed, the current instance had not even announced an evacuation point, and Jiang Lin was still trapped in the underground palace. With only the three of them, Chen Jiangqiao was not confident about the subsequent plans.
Ultimately, Yu Ling is the real culprit behind the division. If they could really cooperate, it would be good for everyone.
Of course, giving someone a chance to trust you doesn't mean Ji Xingyi completely trusts them. Both sides can negotiate, but for safety reasons, the location will be decided by them.
Chen Jiangqiao went there with the conditions and returned within minutes. In the end, all of Su Yuning's group, except for Yu Ling, were present.
Chi Xuan's attitude was straightforward; she proactively apologized to Ji Xingyi for her impulsive behavior. Then she briefly recounted how she had tested Yu Ling.
She had been teaming up with Yu Ling for some time and knew some of his habits. Chi Xuan deliberately asked him about the situation again, seemingly unintentionally. When Yu Ling first recounted the events, he said he entered the right lateral ventricle, but in his second answer, he said he entered the left lateral ventricle.
Based on this, Chi Xuan determined that Yu Ling was lying. Fabricated information isn't based on personal experience, so it's easily forgotten. After lowering his guard, Yu Ling unconsciously revealed his true actions, forgetting the fabricated lie, resulting in discrepancies between the two accounts.
“Some of what Yu Ling said is definitely true. Zhou Jue and Jing Kang did fall into the blood pool, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they died. We think they still have a chance of survival.”
Su Yuning also shared her thoughts: "As for Jiang Lin, the fact that Yu Ling went to great lengths to sow discord among us means that Jiang Lin was absolutely safe and sound when he escaped from the underground palace. If Jiang Lin had also fallen into the blood pool, Yu Ling would have had no reason to sow discord among us; he was afraid that Jiang Lin would come out alive."
Ji Xingyi and Chen Jiangqiao had also considered this. The problem now was that Jiang Lin hadn't escaped from the underground palace after so long, and they couldn't be sure what had happened to the people inside.
After discussing it, the group decided to split up and act separately.
First, since the evacuation point has not been opened, someone must go through the dungeon storyline and participate in the third round of "Blood Moon Reflection" with the Fan Beauty.
The best candidate is Su Yuning, who performed best in the second round. To prevent her from being eliminated in the third round, Chi Xuan will also participate. For safety, Chi Xuan will go into the water before reaching the second bridge, allowing Su Yuning to win without injury.
Chi Xuan: "Leave Yu Ling to me, I'll take care of him myself!"
Yang Yizhou was responsible for receiving Chi Xuan on the shore.
Secondly, there's the tunnel under the Three Lives Bridge.
Ji Xingyi: "If the BOSS captures one of you, it will definitely take you back to the underground palace through this tunnel. We can set up a net."
"Can we catch it?" Chen Jiangqiao asked with some concern.
Ji Xing shook his head: "I don't know, but we can give it a try."
"How will I know it won't work if I don't try! I'm going!" Wang Zhe patted his chest and said, "Damn it, I'm not going to live this suffocating life of being chased by the BOSS all day long!"
Fear of death is human nature, but courage is also innate.
Wang Bo raised his hand: "I'll go too!" Zhu Qingya had been arrested just like that; the hatred in Wang Bo's heart overwhelmed his fear, and he wanted revenge for Zhu Qingya!
“Once the Blood Moon Shadow begins, the underground palace will be at its weakest. I will infiltrate the palace to check the situation inside. If Jin Lushan postpones the third round, you all need to find a way to buy me time,” Ji Xingyi stated his final plan.
Chen Jiangqiao said worriedly, "I'll go with you!"
Ji Xingyi shook his head: "There is another important task for you. The information we have so far is that Jin Lushan started making 'beauty fans' forty years ago. This clue can be investigated further. You and Guo Xinwen will work together."
"By the way, you can look for a beggar; he might have some clues." Ji Xingyi briefly described the appearance of the beggar he and Jiang Lin had seen on the street that day. Based on his age, the old beggar might know about what happened forty years ago.
After all the plans were in place, Ji Xingyi extended his hand: "I hope we will have a successful start."
Chen Jiangqiao also extended his hand: "Wishing us immediate success!"
Su Yuning smiled and said, "Then I wish us all the best!"
Wang Zhe stretched out his hand, but his face scrunched up like a bitter gourd: "Don't just use idioms, it makes me seem uncultured. Come on, come on!"
Chi Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, placed her hands on top of it, and looked at everyone with sincere and eager eyes: "How about we meet in person sometime?"
Yang Yizhou excitedly said, "Ningning and I are in Chongqing! Come visit us during your holiday!"
Wang Zhe: "I'll come if you cover the airfare and hotel!"
Yang Yizhou laughed awkwardly.
"Hahaha!" Wang Zhe patted Ji Xingyi on the shoulder: "It's okay, we have a ready-made God of Wealth here! Let's ride in a private jet too!"
Yang Yizhou's jaw dropped in astonishment: "You even have a private jet!"
Although Ji Xingyi looked very rich, no one expected that he was actually this rich!
Chen Jiangqiao was also stirred by this rare burst of enthusiasm: "Let's all cheer each other on! Let's get out of here alive! Let's empty Young Master Ji's wallet!"
Ji Xingyi's lips curled up: "With so few people, we can't empty our pockets!"
Yang Yizhou laughed and said, "You have no idea how much my captain can eat. I'll show you later!"
Su Yuning looked at Chi Xuan: "If they are still alive, we will definitely be able to rescue them!"
Chi Xuan felt a warmth in her heart, and her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.
"Hey Ji Shao, you'd better keep your wallet closed. Once Jiang Lin and the others come out, your wallet will be Jiang's!" Wang Zhe teased.
Ji Xingyi chuckled: "Good luck!"
Chi Xuan, Su Yuning, Chen Jiangqiao, Wang Zhe, Yang Yizhou, Wang Bo: "Go for it!"
Amidst cheers from everyone, the battle between the player alliance and the NPCs officially began!
