Chapter 1906 - 846: The Riddler
"Damn, what’s happening?"
Wang Qing felt his scalp tingle. Could it be that it’s not over yet?
"FUCK!"
The white people were debating whether to thank Gu Qingqiu, mainly worried about upsetting Kreiser. Now seeing the chess pieces moving on the board, they immediately backed off, fully on guard.
"Shit!"
Zeng Shuang mumbled and cozied up directly to Lin Baici, feeling that this big shot’s side was the safest.
But the next second, Lin Baici took a big step forward, standing in front of Gu Qingqiu, separating her from the chessboard.
This way, if a fight breaks out, he could protect his teammates in time.
"Huh?"
Gu Qingqiu raised an eyebrow, tilted her head, and watched the chess pieces move on the board.
Kreiser stared at the board while also observing the surroundings out of the corner of his eye.
He noticed that out of everyone present, only four people hadn’t moved.
Besides himself, the rest were Lin Baici, his girlfriend, and that female chess player he brought along.
They were all his people!
"FUCK!"
Kreiser cursed.
Honestly, Kreiser didn’t care when Lin Baici solved the rule pollution and got top-tier Divine Prohibitions, but seeing Lin Baici having such powerful teammates made him green with envy.
For a Dragon Level, having a group of strong allies is far more valuable than having a dozen powerful taboo things.
Because objects are dead, but people are alive.
People represent infinite possibilities.
Give Kreiser ten top-tier Divine Prohibitions, and he wouldn’t even consider rushing alone into the Qin Palace, but give him four trustworthy teammates, and he’d dare to make a charge.
In the hallway, it was very quiet, with only the rustling sound of chess pieces moving on the wooden board.
Everyone held their breath, deeply afraid of attracting danger!
Finally, the chess pieces stopped moving.
"Is it over?"
Zeng Shuang looked tense.
She was truly afraid of more chess-like pollution occurring. After all, that stuff requires brains, and she really wasn’t good at it.
"67 seconds!"
Wu Hongfu called out a number to Lin Baici.
It was the time from when the pieces started moving to when they stopped.
"What’s the point of that?"
Wang Qing looked down on him, feeling Wu Hongfu was just showing off, trying to prove to Lin Baici that he also had value to offer.
"Heh!"
Wu Hongfu disdained to argue with Wang Qing.
If this guy hadn’t offended Lin Baici before, knowing that brown-nosing wouldn’t work, he would definitely be licking God Lin’s shoes even more eagerly than himself right now.
Everyone remained cautious, not daring to act rashly, but tens of seconds passed, and still, nothing happened.
"What’s going on? Where’s the pollution?"
"Isn’t it good if the pollution isn’t coming?"
"I’d rather it come quickly than let me suffer in suspense!"
Everyone discussed fervently.
Regarding rule pollution, the scariest part is not just the moment it breaks out, but also before it happens, not knowing when it might strike.
That feeling is like having an unseen sniper targeting you on the battlefield.
There’s no way to hide, and the next bullet could hit you at any moment, killing you.
"Do you think it’s possible that the pieces moving doesn’t signify that rule pollution is coming?"
Zeng Shuang comforted herself.
"You may be ugly, but your thoughts are certainly beautiful!"
Someone mocked.
Lin Baici frowned in thought, then pulled out a pen and took a notebook to jot down some sketches.
"No need to draw; it’s in French, you can’t understand it!"
Gu Qingqiu advised Lin Baici not to waste his effort.
He knew Lin Baici was drawing the patterns made by the chess pieces’ movements.
The crowd perked up at these words.
"Do you know what the movements of those chess pieces mean?"
Wu Hongfu asked humbly.
Among those Europa People who understood Jiuzhou language, all perked up their ears.
"Those chess piece movements actually spell out French words, forming several sentences."
Gu Qingqiu explained casually.
"What do they say?"
Wang Qing pursued further.
"A way to kill Mrs. Oliver!"
Gu Qingqiu tidied up the chess pieces.
Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing Gu Qingqiu say this.
Finally, they saw a glimmer of hope to purify this rule pollution!
"What exactly did it say?"
Even Kreiser couldn’t help but ask. To show respect, he used Jiuzhou language.
Originally, powerhouses like these, when abroad, wouldn’t bother with the local languages even if they knew them. They’d speak their own, expecting others to understand, and not caring if others couldn’t.
Now, by using Jiuzhou language, Kreiser showed respect to Gu Qingqiu.
"No comment!"
Gu Qingqiu refused.
Kreiser squinted slightly. He could see this woman had average muscle strength and probably wasn’t good at combat. Normally, he wouldn’t hesitate to use intimidation or coercion, but with Lin Baici present, he dared not move recklessly.
This young guy, though young, was ultimately Dragon Level, and might have the strength to take a solid bite out of him.
Lin Baici trusted Gu Qingqiu’s judgment, so he put away his pen and notebook and gave up writing.
He didn’t ask Gu Qingqiu about the method to kill Mrs. Oliver because he knew that if the timing was right, his schoolmate would tell him.
"Let’s go pick up Red Medicine and the others now!"
Gu Qingqiu proposed.
"We need to gather money first!"
Using that phone to invite people requires a lot of coins, and Lin Baici currently didn’t have much.
"God Lin, just tell us what to do! We’ll all listen to you!"
Wu Hongfu pounded his chest again, assuring them with the demeanor of a vanguard.
"We’re in a ghost state now, so the monster natives in this castle can’t see us. We need to go drink the spring water, then they’ll be able to see us."
Lin Baici explained.
"Isn’t it better if they can’t see us?"
Someone questioned.
"I don’t know if it’s good or not. I only know that in order to get money from those natives, we need to see them."
Lin Baici led the way: "Let’s hurry!"
