Sick beauty loses horse in thriller game

When the mechanism was finally opened, Jiang Lai didn't have time to think too much and rushed out of the opened passage. Then he used teleportation several times in succession and appeared in the safe zone of the first floor hall almost on time.

Glancing at the countdown that was only three seconds left, Jiang Lai breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew his gaze from the grandfather clock, and walked towards his sleeping bag.

Jiang Lai lay down in the sleeping bag, but couldn't fall asleep.

In her mind, she was still trying to recall those broken images that seemed to be sealed, trying to recall more things about the Second Master and the Sixth Master that she had remembered before.

Apart from torturing herself with a headache, she still couldn't remember anything and gained nothing.

Jiang Lai sighed and thought to himself, since there are the Second Master and the Sixth Master, there must also be the First Master, the Third Master, the Fourth Master, and the Fifth Master.

She was just about to continue her analysis along this line of thought when she suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the side.

She sat up and looked towards the direction where the sound came from, only to see Jin Jiahui crawling out of the sleeping bag.

When she noticed Jiang Lai sat up, she turned around and smiled at Jiang Lai.

"Consultant Jiang, I'm sorry... I... I can't sleep when I think about Song Qi's matter... Did I disturb you? I'm so sorry." Jin Jiahui said in a low voice with an apologetic tone.

"It's okay." Jiang Lai shook his head.

"Then... Consultant Jiang, can you talk to me? I really can't sleep..."

Jiang Lai nodded, climbed out of the sleeping bag again, and together with Jin Jiahui, chose a place that was a little far away from the others so as not to disturb their rest, and sat down there.

Jiang Lai handed Jin Jiahui a bottle of milk and took out a cup of warm water. He didn't say anything and just sat quietly beside her.

"Advisor Jiang..." Jin Jiahui said, "I think, after this cooperation and exploration, we should be considered friends, right? Can I just call you Jiang Lai? Or, like Wen Jiao, I can call you Xiao Lai."

"Just do as you like." Jiang Lai said.

She doesn't care about this kind of thing.

Jin Jiahui nodded and gave Jiang Lai a faint smile.

"Then I will just call you Xiao Lai."

"Xiao Lai, after what happened during the day, whenever I close my eyes, the scene of Song Qi being caught by the giant python, strangled by it, and finally breaking his neck will appear in my mind."

At this point, tears welled up in Jin Jiahui's eyes again. She was obviously frightened by the scene that happened during the day, and was left with a serious psychological trauma.

"We are all veteran gamers. I have completed eight or nine dungeons myself. I thought I had developed a resistance to this kind of thing. I didn't expect... after what happened during the day, I would still feel scared."

"You know, I'm not good at fighting. If I had met that giant python... I would probably have died faster than Song Qi, and I wouldn't even have had a chance to wait for someone to save me..."

Jiang Lai patted Jin Jiahui on the shoulder and said, "Everyone has strengths. As long as you play to your strengths and try to make up for your weaknesses through continuous learning and hard work, you can do what you should do."

"What happened in the past has already happened. You don't need to dwell on it too much. After all, we still have to continue on this path."

She gave a few simple words of persuasion, thinking in her heart that in order to prevent this girl from having more serious psychological problems, after returning to the bureau, she would need to talk to Luo Ke and provide Jin Jiahui with targeted psychological counseling.

Jiang Lai was thinking this in her heart, but she saw Jin Jiahui opposite her suddenly gave her a shy smile.

"Oh, right. I've talked to you so much that it disturbed your rest. How about this, let me use my innate skills to help you recover. This will ensure that you will be full of energy tomorrow morning and be in the best condition to deal with the puzzle game." Jin Jiahui smiled, looked at Jiang Lai, and said to her.

Her eyes were gentle as water, and her voice was even softer, like a spring breeze, which made people subconsciously soften their hearts.

"Actually, I just want to prove to you that my ability is useful. If I ever get into any danger and ask you for help, I hope you won't ignore me."

Considering that Jin Jiahui was not originally a civil servant of the Thorn Game Research and Investigation Bureau, she joined after the dissolution of the Jiufeng organization.

It is understandable that she showed panic after seeing Song Qi, who was stronger than her, get into trouble.

"You don't have to do this. We..."

As Jiang Lai was speaking, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"You two are not sleeping in the middle of the night and are whispering here. What are you doing?" Chu Feng walked towards them and whispered.

"Ah, Deputy Director, I'm sorry, it's all my fault... I couldn't sleep when I thought about Song Qi's matter, which affected Xiao Lai and woke her up. I even pulled her to chat with me..." Jin Jiahui hurriedly explained.

Chu Feng nodded, "I hope you can adjust your condition as soon as possible. Also, don't disturb other colleagues' rest. You all go back and lie down."

Jin Jiahui smiled at Jiang Lai and Chu Feng, said sorry, and without saying anything else, she lay back in her sleeping bag.

"Xiao Jiang, you should go and have a rest too." Chu Feng said.

After this little episode, Jiang Lai had a good night's sleep and slept until 6:30 in the morning.

After everyone washed up and had breakfast together, they quietly waited for eight o'clock in the morning, the time when the day's puzzle-solving mission would begin.

When the time came, the bell rang and they were teleported to various floors inside the villa.

Today's transmission is obviously different from yesterday's.

The place where they appeared was not the place where they left yesterday.

Eight people were randomly assigned to different areas inside the villa.

Chu Feng immediately thought of the methods Jiang Lai proposed yesterday. He used his companion skill of Thousand Miles Sound Transmission to let the seven people in the team send each other the points of the floor numbers.

For example, Jiang Lai, who was assigned to the fifth level, forwarded five points to the other six people.

After the redistribution, Jiang Lai was on the fifth floor, Wen Jiao was on the second floor, Chu Feng was on the third floor, Wen Ling and Chi Qiuping were on the fourth floor, Jin Jiahui was on the sixth floor, and Fu Qiming was assigned to the seventh floor.

Next…

I need to take a day off tomorrow to adjust my condition.
