Shen Hao hurriedly walked towards the meeting room in the abandoned prison.
Seeing his hurried pace and grave expression, people along the way made way for him.
As he turned the corner and went upstairs, his purple warlock robe billowed sharply due to his quick strides.
“What’s going on? It’s rare to see the Warlock like this.”
“He must have discovered something new.”
In the meeting room, the Vampire was discussing Guo Xiao’s death with the Black-clothed Azan and the Gu Witch.
The Black-clothed Azan asked the Gu Witch, “What do you think?”
The Gu Witch said, “According to what the Vampire said, he suddenly died without any wounds. It could be poison, a gu curse, or a hex.”
As they mentioned the hex, the Warlock happened to push the door open and enter.
The Black-clothed Azan said, “Perfect timing, we were just...”
The Warlock interrupted, “I have made a significant discovery!”
Seeing his serious demeanor, the Black-clothed Azan swallowed his words and said, “Go ahead.”
The Warlock pulled out a chair and said, “I know what the system prompt means. I saw Yin Qingmo.”
In the guild competition, as long as there was a division of labor, the Yongming Guild was responsible for covert observation, analyzing instances, and coming up with various ideas—all handled by the Warlock.
It was his idea to establish a zombie warehouse outside the prison to test each player entering the prison, a practical and thorough method.
Hearing this, everyone turned to him and listened intently.
Having hurried all the way, the Warlock took a deep breath after saying this crucial point, picked up a teacup from the table, and took a sip of tea.
Because he had spent many years in the dark without seeing sunlight, his skin was extremely pale. The contrast of his white fingers holding the black plastic cup was striking.
This action lasted for more than ten seconds.
Without any swallowing motion, the black mole on the corner of the Warlock’s mouth suddenly fell off.
The mole was very small and the same color as the black plastic cup. When it first fell, with the black cup as the background, no one noticed.
It wasn’t until the mole slid over his cold white hand and fell onto the table that the three people were stunned for a moment, immediately realizing something was wrong, and jumped up suddenly.
“Warlock, Warlock!” Black-clothed Azan asked, “What’s wrong with you?!”
At first, no one dared to touch him lightly, fearing something might happen to him.
After the Warlock drank that sip of water, he hung his head slightly. The Vampire, lying on the table, looked at his face, his eyes widened.
After the black mole fell off, other parts of his face also started to fall off with a rustling sound.
At first, they were large chunks, then even the smallest bits of flesh didn’t escape. Finally, it was his eyeballs.
Sitting down, he held a water cup with one hand, his other arm half-bent on the table, and the falling flesh and eyeballs piled up within the half-circle made by his arm.
The three of them watched all this in shock.
The most shocked was the Vampire, who was closest to everything.
A trace of fear grew in his heart, creeping from the depths of his heart to his scalp.
He wasn’t afraid of death, nor of blood. He didn’t know how many players he’d drained, having seen all sorts of bloody, violent death scenes.
The trace of fear in his heart stemmed from a perfectly fine person dying silently and inexplicably beside him.
No warning, no way to protect against it.
He could be next.
This was already the second one.
The Black-clothed Azan looked at the Vampire. The Vampire swallowed. “That’s how it was. Guo Xiao died the same way! Now, do you believe what I said?”
The Black-clothed Azan and the Gu Witch silently looked at the Warlock, who had died in his original position in the chair.
The Black-clothed Azan said, “He just said he saw Yin Qingmo. Could it be that he was poisoned by him?”
Gu Witch lifted the Warlock’s gruesome face and placed a Gu insect in his mouth, “Probably not.”
“Then what is it!” the Vampire said irritably, “It’s not poison, not a Gu, not a curse. How did he die?”
Gu Witch looked up, his long eyes cold, “You’re asking me? With that attitude?”
The Vampire shut his mouth, not arguing, but his panic grew more intense. He kicked over a chair and walked away with a cold face.
The Black-clothed Azan had a faint headache. “He’s acting up again.”
“Seeing two people die like this, it’s understandable.” After speaking, the Black-clothed Azan looked at Gu Witch. “What do you think about what the Warlock said?”
The Gu Witch said, “He said he saw Yin Qingmo, but Yin Qingmo is with Shi Tianzhu and wouldn’t be around here. It must be another Yin Qingmo.”
“Another Yin Qingmo?” The Black-clothed Azan thought of the previous sentence from the Warlock and immediately understood.
He looked again at the Warlock’s corpse. “Are zombie faction players different from human faction players because the causes of death are different? Human faction players turn into zombies when bitten, but when zombie faction players die, do they just die like that?”

Ning Su stood in front of the window of the zombie warehouse, watching the zombies inside swarm, piling on top of each other to grab food.
Another player was splattered with blood and screamed in terror.
The two at the door finally put down their instant noodles and came over. “What’s going on?”
Ning Su said truthfully, “One of them was eaten by the zombies.”
The two also saw it through the window.
A player from the detection team said, “Damn! Are there still human faction players daring to come at this time? If they manage to get one inside, I’ll kneel down and call him grandpa!”
Ning Su: “...”
[...]
[Good grandson.]
[Turn around. Your grandpa is standing right beside you.]
[I’m so curious about Ning Su’s skills. Camouflage? Invisibility? Deception?]
“Is the other one a zombie faction player? I see he’s fine and still intact,” that person said.
Ning Su: “Yes.”
That person was a zombie faction player, not another human faction player who had turned into a zombie.
It’s a bit unfortunate, meaning Ning Su might have to run away.
This player knew the Warlock. If he came out and said that he threw the Warlock into the zombie warehouse, then he’s in trouble.
Ning Su thought about it and figured it was worth running away.
He had already removed the secret trump card and the strategist of the Yongming Guild.
The only regret was that the Vampire Shi Tianzhu had him watch was still here.
As he thought about this, he saw the Vampire stride out of the prison with a furious look, showing signs of bloodthirsty mania.
Ning Su glanced again at the player still screaming in the zombie warehouse and his eyes shifted.
He told the person next to him, “Neither of those two wanted to enter the zombie warehouse, so I carried them in.”
The inspection team member said, “Of course, they were guilty and didn’t want to go in. You did well to carry them.”
The Vampire was right behind them, becoming even more irritable upon hearing the constant screams, his face contorted with rage.
Ning Su said, “When I dragged them into the zombie warehouse, this player not only resisted, but also cursed at me.”
“He said they were definitely zombie faction players, but zombies ate his companion.”
The player ran out of the zombie warehouse, covered in blood and flesh fragments.
Having witnessed his companion being torn apart by zombies, he kept screaming as he looked at the blood and flesh on him. When he saw Ning Su, he pointed at him and shouted, “It was you! You killed him, you—”
His words were abruptly cut off.
The Vampire’s irritable and menacing face was reflected in his wide-open eyes.
“Annoying. You’re useless, bringing a human faction player here and still making a fuss.”
Ning Su pressed his lips together, watching silently.
With such a commotion, the human pupa master, who had just finished eating, came out.
“What happened?” she asked.
Thanks for the update!! 😅😅😅
