The Trial Game of Life

Chapter 133: Corpse Poison

To kill Scarlet, Zheng Yingying knew that she couldnt do it alone. Her aides, Miao Qi and Wen Xiaoming, were already on the third floor, but they were both locked up right now. It was very difficult to rescue them under Scarlet and Lawless eyes.

Most importantly, Zheng Yingying felt that even with those two mens help, they wouldnt be able to kill Scarlet.

After all, Scarlets phylactery wasnt here.

She wondered how Qian Wei was doing and whether he had met Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo. If they could find this place, the two sides should work together, one from inside and one from outside. Perhaps they might be able to temporarily suppress Scarlet.

Zheng Yingying was extremely irritable at the moment, but she had to hold herself back. She was afraid that as long as she stayed here, she couldnt restrain herself from rushing out to stab Scarlet. So she rolled her eyes and decided to track down the living corpse instead.

Lawless secretly kept a living corpse. That living corpse was probably the last living corpse in Yong Ye City, and now Scarlet gave them another one. If they really wanted to use the living corpse to build a conspiracy, this second one might also be secretly locked up, not to mention, this was their very own teammate.

So Zheng Yingying secretly followed the two Lawless members who had knocked out the living corpse earlier and dragged it out, at which point she saw that they had taken it to the next building.

She approached them quietly, thinking it would take some time to find out, but she never expected to witness a murder case the two Lawless members who first transported the living corpse inside the sack here was attacking an ordinary player in the corridor.

One covered his mouth, while the other stabbed him.

The player didnt die after being stabbed, instead, he also turned into a living corpse. The two Lawless members looked at each other, a gleam of joy flashing in their eyes. Thereafter, they killed the living corpse.

They werent in the mood to clean up the corpse of the ordinary player, not to mention, there were so many living corpses in Yong Yi City now, so no one would be suspicious. When they left, Zheng Yingying stepped over to check.

The remnant of the living corpse posed nothing unusual, and the fatal wound was a cut in his throat. But Zheng Yingying found a drop of blood on the ground. This drop of blood wasnt from the wound. Rather, it fell from the dagger.

It was dark red with a hint of green.

Corpse poison.

Zheng Yingying suddenly realised why Lawless was hiding living corpses in secret they were trying to extract corpse poison from the living corpses. As long as they applied the corpse poison to their weapons, they could directly kill the enemy without having to worry about themselves going to jail.

This kind of corpse poison could only be extracted before the living corpse was killed, otherwise, there would be no need to lock up one of the living corpses.

No wonder these men were avoiding Scarlet. They were totally trying to steal Scarlets skill. If Scarlet found out, they would lose this advantage. Thinking of this, Zheng Yingying suddenly had an idea.

Wasnt Lawless trying to hide this? Then she must expose them.

As such, about 15 minutes later, the residential building next to Lawless new base suddenly caught fire.

At this point, Scarlet had put on her red dress again, sitting and painting her nails while listening to Forgettable Faces report. Forgettable Face hid the truth about the living corpse from her but didnt hide what Pei Pei and the others were doing. They wouldnt be able to hide it anyway. They had to let Scarlet know that they were serious.

Theyve gone there for a long time. There should be news coming back soon.

Speaking of which, I havent met that Tang Cuo yet. Scarlet looked at her red nails with satisfaction and turned around to ask Jiang He: Have you met him?

By now, she seemed to have forgotten what happened in the room just now, and the expression she used to look at Jiang He was natural and intimate.

Ive met him, but Im not acquaintanced with him. Jiang He said.

If you can really catch him, bring him to me. Scarlet chuckled lightly as if thinking of something funny. Forgettable Face felt that this smile was extremely terrifying, and he couldnt help but pray for Tang Cuo in his heart.

But at this moment, a fire broke out next door.

Receiving such a bolt from the blue, Forgettable Face subconsciously thought that the fire would appear suspicious and reveal their location. But he didnt expect to be even more shocked than that, for he saw the teammate who had been turned into a living corpse by Scarlet run out from the fire!

Hearing the movement, Scarlet walked to the window to scan everything with one glance, and her lips tugged into a fascinated smile.

This is bad. She must have started to doubt us.

Forgettable Faces heart beat like a drum while his palms began to sweat, which left him with absolutely no mind to think about the origin of the fire. Scarlet didnt take any action and simply watched the smoke rising in the building next door.

There were many capable people in Yong Ye City, and very soon, players with water-type ability emerged and put out the fire. Ordinary players who had no idea what was going on gathered around to discuss noisily, and they even conveniently killed off the living corpse that ran out of the fire. Everything happened in just a blink of an eye.

No one noticed that Zheng Yingying had blended into the crowd, and her pocket carried a few drops of corpse poison stolen from the place the living corpse was kept.

Amidst such a tricky situation, Forgettable Face suddenly grew an idea and he said to Scarlet: Its not safe here anymore, shall we move right away? If someone finds out, our plan will fail at the last minute!

Scarlet placed one hand on the window sill and turned around to ask him: How many contact points have you arranged?

Forgettable Face hesitated for a few seconds before answering: Five.

Scarlet asked again: You said theyve been out for more than an hour?

Forgettable Face: Yes, thats right.

Scarlet: They probably have failed.

Forgettable Faces heart shuddered, and just he was about to open his mouth to ask why, Scarlet cut him off. She made a very fast decision: Lets move immediately if you dont want everything to crumble.

This sentence seemed to fit right into Forgettable Faces plan, but he couldnt feel happy. He wanted to divert Scarlets attention away, but what did Scarlet mean by that?

Even if Pei Pei and Tall Man werent doing well, there was still another team who was inquiring about Black Hats Miscellaneous Store. Did they face an obstacle too?

They shouldnt!

But the reality right now was that no one had come back, and the more Forgettable Face thought about it, the more anxious he became. He quickly arranged for everyone to move away. With many ordinary players gathering around, they couldnt move all at the same time; they had to divide into small groups.

At this juncture, Zheng Yingying had already returned to the base without anyone knowing. Having been undercover for so long, she had already grown familiar with the doings around here. But before she could see Scarlet get angry, she heard of the news of their evacuation and frowned slightly.

The outcome was a little different from what she expected. In this case

While everyone was busy moving, Zheng Yingying looked for Meng Yufei hidden under the bed. Seeing Meng Yufei still unconscious, Zheng Yingying slashed his arm after rubbing the dagger with the corpse poison.

She was afraid that Meng Yufei would expose her, and that Scarlet would notice Meng Yufeis disappearance and go to find him. The best solution was to make Meng Yufei a living corpse.

A moment later, Meng Yufeis corpse transformed and he completely lost his senses. He rushed out of the room and started biting as soon as he laid eyes on people.

A loud commotion rose in the corridor, which posed such a sharp contrast against Scarlet, who was walking downstairs clad in a red dress and high heels, her washed hair no longer looking as messy as when she was just out of jail and her fingertips painted with nail polish. She made such a beautiful, mesmerising sight. If it werent for the overly conspicuous shackles on her wrists and ankles, she would be a woman who could make everyone fall head-over-heels.

The chaos in the corridor had nothing to do with her, and everyones stupor also had nothing to do with her. She simply walked down, her high heels making a clanging sound with every step, and everyone stepped back wherever she passed by.

Forgettable Face followed behind, his heart pounding like mad inside his chest, while he also didnt dare to step past Scarlet. Scarlet acted so high and mighty, as if she was afraid that the others wouldnt know that she was here. Luckily, there were only Lawless members here, so no outsiders would find out about her.

If anyone found out, it would be over for Lawless.

No, that wasnt right. Scarlet didnt care about their life or death at all!

Since it had gotten till this point, here, there was no way Forgettable Face couldnt see through Scarlets attitude. They wanted to borrow Scarlet to kill others, but they didnt expect that she never took them seriously. Over and over again, Forgettable Face found himself unable to turn against her.

Firstly, it was that he wouldnt be able to win over her, and secondly, they had boarded the enemys ship. If they tried to get down now and she got displeased, they would be simply looking for death.

This last bit of rationality allowed Forgettable Face to come back to his senses. He didnt dare to think about the fact that only a quarter of the 24-hour time limit had passed. Lawless had reached such a dangerous situation, and he could only urge them with a low voice: Get out now. Dont stay together, spread out! 

The Lawless members had been busy running around all now, and now they were bitten by the mad dog Meng Yufei. Only after much struggle did they manage to beat him to death. At this moment, hearing Forgettable Faces anxious order, how would they dare to linger any longer?

In a blink, the people in the building had complete dispersed.

Scarlet couldnt help looking back from time to time, thinking that this man wasnt too stupid. She waved at him.

Forgettable Face felt his legs turn mushy as soon as she waved at him, but he still had to bite the bullet and step forward while continuing to curse Pei Pei and Tall Man inwardly, motherf**ker, why are you still not back?

Find someone for me. Scarlet said.

Who? Forgettable Face was afraid that she would mention the living corpse.

Do you know a little bald girl? She was with Jiang He some time ago. Scarlet said as she glanced at Jiang He from the corner of her eye with a smile on her lips: Get her for me. After all, shes a little girl, Im worried when she has to be alone outside.

Hearing this, Jiang Hes expression sank.

Scarlet deliberately mentioned Zheng Yingying in front of him. She was threatening him for the phylactery. When soft tactics failed, hard tactics had to be called.

After Forgettable Face left, Jiang He said solemnly: I told you, the phylactery is no longer with me, and it certainly isnt with Zheng Yingying. Shes just a little girl who almost died in jail. I let her leave, and she wont come back.

Scarlet: Is that so? Maybe its just me thinking that you and she get along rather well.

Jiang He: Scarlet, shes just the person I saved on the spur of the moment. Do you have to drag an innocent person into this?

Scarlet: But you saved her, isnt her life yours? And I just want to see her. If you really dont care, why are you so nervous?

Jiang He was silent. A long time later, she suddenly asked: Do you know why I saved her?

Scarlet asked with a smile: Why?

Because shes like you. 

The concise four words made Scarlets smile slowly stiffen. The smile seemed like it was still there, but she seemed to be moved by distant memories, the emotions in her eyes chaotic and impossible to read.

She knew that the you Jiang He was talking about wasnt her of the present. It was her of a time long gone.

Really? Scarlet blinked.

Its up to you to believe it or not. Jiang He said and walked forward.

Scarlet looked at his back. Half of her body was covered in the shadows and her smile faded, turning gloomy and inexplicable. Between the two of them, there were many truths, lies and constant testing of each other. The trust between them was as frail as glass, always on the verge of breaking at any slightest knock.

But things made of glass were beautiful by themselves, and Scarlet loved such fragile, pretty things.

Back to Forgettable Face, he kept delegating Scarlets orders and arranged for someone he trusted to look for news about Pei Pei and the others. Lawless has its own intel network, and Yong Ye City certainly had more intel dealers than just K. It wasnt difficult to get some news.

Very soon, one piece after another, news came back to him.

Forgettable Face was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but he couldnt vomit anything and almost suffocated himself to death.

How could Pei Pei be arrested?!

Why were the people who went to Black Hats Miscellaneous Store also killed? This is impossible!

Yong Ye City had no mobile phones, no convenient communication network, and everything was back to its most primitive. This inevitably caused a gap in reaction time. Forgettable Face never thought that the news he was waiting for was like this, and cold sweat poured down his back. He now understood why Scarlet said that they should move as soon as possible if they didnt everything to collapse.

He could only be thankful that he had done so and let everyone disperse.

But soon, he knew that he was thankful too early, because immediately after that, the third news came to his ears like an arrow shooting straight into his heart. The lump of blood that he didnt vomit earlier now came out very smoothly.

Tang Cuo came all the way here??? A teammate hurriedly supported him and gave him a mouthful of healing potion.

The news that Forgettable Face received was the group who first evacuated from the new base ran into Tang Cuo on the way. Tang Cuo shouldnt have recognised them, but who would expect that as soon as the two sides laid eyes on each other, Tang Cuo immediately drew his sword.

He didnt kill anyone, and the Lawless members also had no guts to kill him, because they were all afraid of going to jail.

But there were so many other players on the road.

As Tang Cuo had directly chopped off the connection between Lawless and Scarlet, these Lawless members were killed by the angry players and got sent to Zone G. In a blink, lots of lights flashed on the street, and everyone headed to jail together.

Tang Cuo came from the Ruby Bar, right? It must be K, it must be K who leaked our members intel to him! That ill-tempered intel dealer! After many bursts of rage, Forgettable Faces random guess finally touched the truth.

Its not the time to figure whether its K or not! Lets go back and tell Scarlet. Tang Cuo dares to come after her, let him come without ever turning back! The teammate also clenched his teeth, and after these two came up with a plan together, they immediately turned around.

Where was Zheng Yingying at this point?

She followed the people who escorted Miao Qi and Wen Xiaoming, planning to take advantage of any opening she might find. Both men were knocked out before being taken away. In order not to attract any attention, they were brought out in two separate directions, and Zheng Yingying pondered for a moment choosing to follow Wen Xiaoming.

There was no other reason. Wen Xiaoming seemed smarter.

Sure enough, before Zheng Yingying even took action, Wen Xiaoming suddenly woke up. He had been carried head down on someones shoulders with his hands still tied. As he opened his eyes, the blue veins on his forehead and arms fiercely bulged, and he fiercely tried to break the rope at his wrists.

With a snap, Wen Xiaoming immediately fell to the ground before the Lawless member could react. Wen Xiaoming pressed the mans neck with the broken rope and threw the man over his back

Crash! Out of the mans 24 ribs, probably half had been smashed.

Four Lawless members were in charge of the escort. At present, one was lying on the ground and wailing, and the other three were gaping at Wen Xiaoming in utter shock. They totally couldnt get it how did a f**king poached chicken become a king rooster?!

Isnt this Wen Xiaoming an equipment master? How could he break such a strong rope?

Come on, I cant win Scarlet, but how can I not be able to beat you all up? Wen Xiaoming hooked a finger at them, imitating Bruce Lees cool pose.

Few people know that the Equipment Master 10086 was a fighter who won purely by sheer force, because he had no muscles. Except for his strong resistance and endurance, there was no other advantage.

So he chose to rely on equipment.

Seeing the three men rushing up, Wen Xiaoming immediately threw Bruce Lee behind and tossed out one Blast Egg after another: Youre screwed!
