As soon as the three of them returned to the tent, Jasmine eagerly came to Lu Qianqian's side and asked softly, "I heard from Xiaolan... that you have already acquired insect marks. Is it true?"
Lu Qianqian watched Xiaolan close the tent tightly, then raised her hand and took off the mask.
The cheeks that were originally marked with black marks were completely white, with no trace of the scorpion at all.
Jasmine looked at Xiaolan who looked shocked.
"I...I clearly saw it," Xiaolan refused to give up and took a closer look. "When we were on the ring just now, there was definitely a black scorpion here...or there."
Lu Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled.
This was the first time that Xiaolan saw her smile. The soft smile fell on this charming and sharp face, which actually had a unique charm.
Jasmine looked at Xiaolan who was trying her best to explain, and then at Lu Qianqian who was smiling mysteriously, her brows gradually widened.
"Oh - I see," she pointed at Lu Qianqian, "You are the head of the Xiahua family..."
"Shh-" Lu Qianqian made another silent gesture.
Jasmine lowered her voice knowingly, "You are the disciple of the Xia Hua family, right?"
"I studied under Xia Hua, the master of the Si Xia family," Lu Qianqian nodded, "I don't have the skills of the family master, so the life insect only manifests its seal when it is carrying power."
"Is that what they told you?" Jasmine shrank her neck, looking strange.
Lu Qianqian paused, "What do you mean?"
Jasmine sniffed and shook her head with a calm expression, "It's nothing, it's just that I don't know much about Si Xia and I don't know about it."
Jasmine's appearance might be able to deceive Lu Qianqian, who didn't know her well, but she couldn't deceive Xiaolan.
This guy must have other intentions.
But considering that he and Jasmine were still in the same group, Xiaolan did not expose it, but directly changed the topic, "Then your life-threatening insect is a scorpion?"
"It's a sword scorpion," Lu Qianqian looked a bit showy, "I like to call it the master scorpion."
"Listen to what you mean, does your Xiahua family head always have that insect mark on his face?" Xiaolan touched her cheek, "When I saw her before, I didn't notice the mark on her face.
Or is her life bug a small bug?"
Lu Qianqian waved his hand, "Insect marks may not appear on the face. The owner's insect marks are elsewhere."
Xiaolan nodded "Oh", thinking in her mind how could such a pretty face like Lu Qianqian have a scorpion.
"Why did you come to participate in this competition?" Jasmine finally asked.
After hearing this question, Lu Qianqian was stunned for a moment.
"you do not know?"
"What do you know?" This time it was Jasmine's turn to wonder.
"I thought we came here for the same thing," Lu Qianqian tilted her head, "Then why... why did you come?"
Ah this...
It seems that they came here with official business, but in comparison, their purpose seems to be just to "come for fun".
"Do you know Qiao Nian from our ninth detective, right?" Jasmine asked without changing her expression. Seeing Lu Qianqian nodded, she continued, "Then you should also know about her amnesia. The reason we participate in this competition is to give
She regained her memory, this is the method given by the doctor."
Bah!
Although this was nonsense, Lu Qianqian still believed it.
"It seems that our goals are similar," Lu Qianqian sat down and said slowly, "During this period, Sixia has been investigating the incident in Wangcheng. We have lost several brothers and our energy has been severely damaged.
, the head of the family was furious, and the only clues left were Shu Tian Ye Bai in the fifth watch and Qiao Nian, the amnesiac Jiu Tan. After the head of the family returned from Wenjing, his attitude also changed slightly. For example, Deputy Luo said something to the head of the family,
She also began to feel that something was fishy. Although she arranged for us to increase our efforts to search for Ye Bai on the fifth day of the night, she specifically asked us not to hurt his life. During our search, we heard that the last time someone saw him was in
At the Ten-Day Banquet in other cities, when we rushed there, the game team had already left, so we followed in the footsteps of the Ten-Day Banquet and came here."
Xiaolan and Jasmine were dumbfounded.
"Ten-day banquet?" Jasmine stretched her neck, "Why did he show up at this competition? Does he still have the heart to compete?"
Lu Qianqian shook his head, "We don't know the identity of Ye Bai at the Ten-Day Banquet, but we suspect... that he may be related to the design team behind the Ten-Day Banquet."
"Uh... does it really matter if we talk about this here?" Xiaolan interjected.
After all, they are still in other people’s games!
"It doesn't matter. We investigated in detail before coming here. Although this competition is a holographic brain imaging interactive competition, the organizer cannot monitor the internal communication of players," Lu Qianqian replied, "unless members of the design team participate as players.
, they generally call this kind of player catfish."
"Catfish?!" Xiaolan and Jasmine exclaimed at the same time.
Lu Qianqian sat up straight, "What's wrong?"
"We've heard this word before," Xiaolan knocked on her forehead, "Just... while waiting for admission, two staff members said it, one asked the other if this would break the record, and the other was working
The staff said it depends on when they find the catfish...that's what it meant."
Lu Qianqian relaxed and said, "Well, that's probably what it means. There is a psychological effect called the catfish effect. The catfish in it exist to keep other fish alive. The game team sends people to participate, to a certain extent, to ensure the game environment.
Good, of course it is possible that the final grand prize will be won directly by the catfish..."
"What?!" When Xiaolan heard this, he immediately bombed the temple, "Despicable! How could this be possible?! Report it!"
But Jasmine's attention was not on the prize money. She followed Lu Qianqian's words and asked, "You mean Ye Bai might be a catfish?"
"It's just possible," Lu Qianqian said rigorously, "But whether it's ordinary players, the backstage team or Catfish, they are all related to this competition. Originally we didn't plan to participate, but we didn't expect the security of the Ten-Day Banquet to be so good.
, we couldn't find a breakthrough at all, so we decided to take part in the competition. Anyway, it only takes a few days, and maybe we can gain something."
Jasmine nodded in agreement, but soon became depressed, "Then it doesn't mean you have lost this time... you will leave the game after it's over."
"This is the right time to leave," Lu Qianqian said. "The levels in the future will become more and more difficult. Players will be divided. The chance of encountering catfish will increase. The chance of our purpose being discovered will also increase. And now it is
This is the time when players quit the game in large numbers. After we quit, we can take advantage of the chaos and sneak into the background. If it is later, it will not be so convenient."
"Then inside the game..." Jasmine muttered.
Lu Qianqian looked at the two of them and smiled sweetly, "You guys are still there in the game."
