Wenren Chao quickly cut the rope tied around his feet the moment the lights went out;

Then he quickly moved towards Jizhe's position nearby, intending to take advantage of the chaos in the darkness to escape with the boy;

However, he touched nothing. Ji Zhe was not nearby. He searched for a long time but only found a man holding his head and crying in pain.

He was about to call Ji Zhe's name, but suddenly heard a very weak cry.

----"ah--"

It’s a seasonal discount!

"Where are you?"

"Seasonal fold?"

"......"

Wenren shouted several times in a row, but there was no response;

Ji Zhe was taken away by someone. It is not certain whether this person is a good person or a bad person, but the boy has the pass card he gave him, so nothing serious should happen.

Seeing the lights gradually coming back on, Wen Ren Chao felt nervous:

The person he should be most worried about is himself.

.......

Ji Zhe didn't know how long he had been carried by that man. The surroundings went from being noisy to being silent. He also went from being scared and helpless at the beginning, constantly calling out Wen Renchao's name to being silent now.

No matter how much he talked, this person just ignored him.

After calling Wen Renchao's name for the first time and getting no response, Ji Zhe was actually very scared. He immediately went to ask K about the current situation in the banquet hall;

I felt relieved only after receiving the news that Wenren Chao had escaped successfully and was now safe.

He didn't know why Wenren Chao wanted to give him the pass card. After all, according to the comments, the difficulty of obtaining this item was comparable to winning 100 million in a lottery ticket.

He didn't know how many pass cards Wen Ren Chao had, but Ji Zhe would feel guilty to death if he was unable to successfully pass the copy because Wen Ren Chao gave him the pass card.

Fortunately, he is fine.

.......

There was a little bit of dim light in front of him, and Ji Zhe also felt the cold wind blowing;

Even though the scenery around them was upside down and only the night stars in the sky could illuminate the way forward, Ji Zhe still recognized where they were currently;

Ji Zhe was also very familiar with the road under their feet. After all, he had just walked it once today.

At this time, Ji Zhe could already vaguely guess who the person was who had carried him out during the chaos at the banquet, but he was not sure;

As he was thinking, the man suddenly stopped;

"Oh it's you."

Hearing this voice, Ji Zhe's mind was in a mess:

These two people know each other.

But why is Isidore here? Shouldn't he be in the banquet hall like Ferran? Why is he here to stop them?

Ji Zhe was afraid to speak carelessly because his mind was filled with questions, for fear that Isidore would find him and tie him up again.

There was an eerie silence, the man did not answer him, not a word;

"Shouldn't you thank me? After all, I created the opportunity for you."

Isidore's voice was getting closer and closer, and Jizhe heard the sound of leather shoes stepping on wooden boards;

Create opportunities? What does that mean? Ji Zhe lay obediently on this man's back, thinking about what Isidore meant.

"You were the one who turned off the light, do I need to thank you?"

It was Yan Qi, Ji Zhe guessed correctly;

Listening to the conversation between the two, Ji Zhe realized that Yan Qi and Isidore knew each other.

"thank....."

Isidore murmured, his eyes falling on the young man. He recalled the scene in the banquet hall. There were bloody body parts all over the floor, dark red blood and white brain matter intertwined, and the bloody smell was suffocating. The young man must have been scared at the time, his expression was so pitiful.

"No need to thank me, just leave quickly."

The boy probably doesn't want to see them or him now.

.......

"Why did you save me?"

Even though he had guessed who this person would be, when Ji Zhe actually saw Yan Qi, he still couldn't help but ask.

He had clearly told that group of nobles about their plan, which led to the capture of Wenren Chao and himself. Why was he pretending to be a good guy now?

Perhaps because of Wen Renchao's injury, there was an unintentional hint of complaint in Ji Zhe's tone at this moment, and he himself did not even notice it.

Yan Qi was sorting out the items on the lifeboat, and he paused when he heard the boy's words:

"Do you not want someone to rescue you, or do you not want me to be the one to rescue you?"

Yan Qi had imagined countless things that the boy would say on the way, surprise, confusion, blame, questioning, he had thought of them all, he thought he could control his emotions;

But when the boy actually opened his mouth, he realized that he had overestimated himself.

In the dark night, only the stars cast a little dim light. In order not to be discovered, Yan Qi did not prepare anything that could emit light;

Ji Zhe just looked at Yan Qi, obviously and secretly. He actually still didn't understand. After all, compared to him, Wen Ren Chao, who was smart and had good skills, was more worthy of being saved.

"No, I just want to ask, why did you choose to save me instead of Wen Renchao?"

Now it is no longer necessary to investigate whether Yan Qi is a good person or a bad person;

Ji Zhe's original intention was that the injured Wen Ren Chao was the one who needed help the most. After all, Wen Ren Chao had given him the pass card, so Ji Zhe would always be safe. However, Yan Qi was an NPC, so he certainly couldn't say this to Yan Qi.

But to Yan Qi, what he said sounded like the young man would rather be left there and let Wen Ren Chao escape. Yan Qi felt that he could no longer pretend.

"Why should I save him? Is it because you like him?"

"This is a horror escape game. Can you please not be so naive and trust a player so foolishly when you see him?"

Yan Qi's careless words also made Ji Zhe realize a fact, a fact that he couldn't believe:

"Are you...a player?"

Who would have thought that Yan Qi, who was always thought to be an NPC by Wenren Chao and Ji Zhe, was actually a dungeon player.

The barrage was also filled with rows of question marks:

"What the hell, this guy is a gamer?? I watch live broadcasts 24 hours out of 25 hours a day, and I never see him."

"Don't be so exaggerated, but to be honest, I am also an old player, and I have never seen this person before."

"Is he a newbie? He doesn't look like one..."

"Hehe, Zhebao's surprised look is so cute~"

. “It seems like something has broken in?”

"........"

----

“Yes, I’m a player.”

"I know you will have many questions for me, but the current situation does not allow us to dawdle any longer."

Yan Qi also realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, but he didn't panic. He calmly took out a key from his pocket and inserted it into the starter of the lifeboat before saying,

"They should be here soon."

Ji Zhe's attention also shifted from Yan Qi's identity as a player to the thing in Yan Qi's hand. Why does this key look so familiar?......

After Yan Qi started the lifeboat, he realized that the boy's eyes were fixed on a certain place. He looked over and found that it was the key used to open the lifeboat.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but chuckle, with a hint of coldness in his words:

"I didn't expect those nobles to have some brains. These lifeboats can only be opened with specific keys, otherwise they are useless."

After hearing what he said, Ji Zhe subconsciously reached into his pocket and felt around, and found that the key Isidore had given him was still there;

By the way, he now seemed to know the use of the key.

......

Isidore was standing high on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze, an unlit cigarette in his mouth, his black windbreaker rustling in the wind, his heterochromatic eyes quietly looking at the sea;

"......"

There was a rustling sound behind him. Isidore put away the cigarette. He didn't even look at the person who came. He said in a light tone:

"Stay here, no one will come."

Wen Ren Chao, who was about to leave quietly when he heard these words, froze and looked at Isidore again with vigilance in his eyes.

"I know you are Jizhe's friend, so don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."

Isidore returned to the third floor. He didn't know whether the man believed him or not, but it didn't matter;

As he walked, he came to the place where he rescued the boy in front of the 'hunter', and he squatted against the wall, as if the boy was still there.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"If, if I say, I am very rich now, with enough money that you can never spend it all, you will still——"

"Forget it, it's nothing."

"Here's the key for you. Don't be afraid. You'll be fine."

On the sea, in the darkness, the bright red lifeboat is very conspicuous.
