Crazy!
Luo Yu was really curious. Did Yang Tian have only a tiny brain, the size of a sesame seed, or did she have none at all?
Just because she was hostile toward Luo Yu, she disregarded the entire player team’s interests, completely rejected Luo Yu’s speculation, and deliberately shifted suspicion onto her.
Luo Yu took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her chest.
At least not all the players were like Yang Tian. Most could tell right from wrong and would not fall for Yang Tian’s provocations.
Thinking this, Luo Yu looked expectantly at the other team members.
The moment they met her gaze, they immediately stepped back, keeping distance, looking suspicious and wary.
Luo Yu: …
Okay, most of them were newcomers. It was normal to be paranoid and lack resolve when facing dangerous situations.
Fortunately, there was an experienced player in the team. He was a bit lustful and held unhealthy thoughts toward her, but his mind was still clear.
Luo Yu rubbed her temple and looked at the team leader, Sun Heng, hoping he would speak up and say something fair.
Sun Heng noticed her gaze. He paused for a moment, then decisively pushed Yang Tian away, who was sticking to him, and stepped forward.
“Luo Yu, regarding your interactions with the NPC, I think you need to explain yourself.”
Luo Yu: …
Are you serious?
Seeing that Sun Heng had not taken her side, Yang Tian seemed greatly encouraged. She strutted forward, eyes gleaming mischievously, and said with ill intent, “Little Luo Yu, if you can’t give a reasonable explanation, we will have to take action.”
“Like tying you up here and leaving you to your fate?” Yang Tian smiled, “Let’s see… hmm, there’s only about twenty minutes until class starts.”
The other players immediately chimed in. “Yes, tie her up. Once the time is up, it will be obvious if she’s a monster!”
“But I think her previous speculation also makes some sense. Those whose personalities suddenly change might also be monsters…”
“Leaving the previous captives alone doesn’t seem right either.”
“Then we might as well tie them all up.”
“Wait, wait.” The fat player kneeling on the ground suddenly spoke.
There were too few of its kind in the team, so when it was captured earlier, it didn’t speak or resist.
Now, thanks to that foolish Yang Tian, it finally had a chance.
But that woman would not survive much longer. From her scent, it could tell that death was near and she would soon become one of them.
“I’m not a monster. Really, I’m not. The personality change happened because I was scared when I first entered the game. I couldn’t adapt immediately. Later, as I got used to it, I became calmer.”
The fat player spoke first. The others who had been captured also pleaded. Among them, some were actual monsters, and some were mistakenly accused players.
The scene erupted into chaos. The team showed signs of collapsing.
“Quiet.” Sun Heng shouted.
In the past few days, he had built significant authority in the team. One shout and the crowd fell silent.
Sun Heng looked at Luo Yu. “You explain first.”
Inside, he leaned toward Luo Yu. He had not spoken up immediately because her actions were indeed suspicious, and his own selfish motives were at play.
He wanted to use this as a chance to teach Luo Yu to behave and follow his instructions.
But if it caused chaos in the team, it would be counterproductive.
Luo Yu pressed her lips together. If she did not explain, she might really be tied up by this reckless team.
She said reluctantly, “Because the NPC is very good-looking.”
“Huh?”
Hearing this, Yang Tian mocked her exaggeratedly.
Sun Heng’s expression turned odd.
The NPC is very good-looking… How good-looking could he be? Actually, he wasn’t bad.
No, no matter how you looked at it, Luo Yu’s explanation was a bit far-fetched.
“Stop using such ridiculous excuses to brush us off!” Yang Tian snapped. “You secretly made a deal with that NPC, right? To mislead our actions so the monsters could trap us all?”
“What did the NPC give you? Did he promise you safety for seven days and help you pass the game?”
“Shut up.” Facing Yang Tian’s aggressive interrogation, Luo Yu remained calm.
She shot her a cold glance, her eyes sharp and impatient.
She did not want to waste time arguing with these idiots.
“I have given the explanation you asked for. I did not lie.” Luo Yu’s icy gaze swept over the players, filled with a condescending scrutiny.
She sneered, “What’s wrong with liking someone good-looking? What’s wrong with being lustful?”
She challenged the self-righteous players.
“Not lustful? Then why are you staring at Yang Tian’s butt every day?”
The player caught in the act blushed, and Yang Tian screamed, turning her back to cover herself.
“Still not lustful? Don’t think I didn’t see you using the excuse of protection to grope other female players!”
“And you all, you too…”
Luo Yu mocked every player. Finally, she looked at Sun Heng, her eyes full of scorn.
“Or maybe our Captain Sun, Brother Sun, is a saint who avoids women completely?”
Sun Heng, who had been comforting Yang Tian after she had been ogled, coughed awkwardly and moved her far away to cover up.
Luo Yu laughed coldly.
“I cannot reason with you. You suspect me of betraying the team, but I think your brains are useless and will just hold me back.”
Her words openly provoked all the players.
But Luo Yu did not care.
She saw clearly that staying in a team ready to turn against each other was worse than working alone.
“Since you are all wary of me, fine, I will leave. It’s getting late. I’m going back to the teaching building. Do what you want.”
She turned and walked away. Not a single player dared to stop her.
Sun Heng wanted to retain her, but Luo Yu had offended the entire team. Considering the situation, he abandoned the thought.
Meanwhile, the root cause of the incident, the NPC that Yang Tian kept bringing up, silently watched everything unfold, unnoticed.
Humans are still the same. Foolish, selfish, jealous.
But one was different. Her adorable, devoted little follower.
In the swamp, under the clear moonlight, she gazed at him with pure, beautiful eyes.
She had left her human companions, so dangerous… Perhaps he should respond to her expectations with a little protection.
Yet, the god also wanted to know.
What did this little follower mean when she said he was “very good-looking”?
Heh…
