So he carefully started counting from 0.
"0...1...2...3...4...5...6...Huh?"
He barely counted a few numbers when he surprisingly found the number chain broken.
After carefully searching a few times, he couldn’t find the next number.
"What a coincidence, it’s really 007?"
...
In the Battle Observation Box.
"Coach Shil discovered the existence of the infiltrator, that was quick."
Upon hearing Ree Shil’s 007, Secretary Brown couldn’t help but exclaim.
A 3-day-long Instance, finding and locking in the correct infiltrator within just 2 hours of the start is quite rare.
"In theory, as long as someone knows the existence of both Number 0 and Contestant 99 simultaneously, discovering the infiltrator is inevitable."
"But this match is quite a coincidence. He met Number 0 so early."
Show Director crossed his arms.
"Well, there’s no helping it, who would have thought Contestant 99 would be this insane."
"A single [Lock Demon] and a double [Lock Demon] are instantly unlocked; the prison cell can’t hold him at all. He wanders anywhere he wants."
"His card player’s talent must be related to PVE, truly enviable."
Secretary Brown showed a bitter smile.
Compared to his own weak card player’s talent, he admitted his envy.
"However, I wonder how he will handle the other party from now on."
Show Director looked at Ree Shil’s direction of movement, thinking that it wouldn’t take long for him to potentially meet the infiltrator.
...
In a dark corner of the Ancient Palace, two sneaky figures were squatting.
They had the numbers 56 and 7 on their heads, respectively.
"Sis, are you sure?"
"There are several spells hidden in the treasure chest of the guard team?"
Contestant Number 56 appeared to be a tide fishman species.
"Of course, why would I lie to you."
"I heard it with my own ears from the guards."
Jane Silk said, patting Number 56’s head.
But what it couldn’t see was that the moment her hand left, a glowing palm print was left on its smooth forehead.
Barely a few minutes passed, and their "conspiracy" hadn’t yet ended when they heard the voices of the Guard Team from a distance.
[Over here! There are escapees here!]
"Eh?! Sis, what should we do!"
Number 56 panicked immediately.
"Split up and run, one who escapes is one saved!"
"I’ll go out first and draw their attention!"
As soon as Jane Silk finished speaking, she had already started to run.
"Sis!"
Number 56 was moved on the spot.
However, it couldn’t see that Jane Silk had bumped into the Guard Team as soon as she went out.
As a result, both sides simply exchanged a glance before passing by each other.
And the foolish Number 56 who ran in the other direction was destined to return to the prison cell.
[Ding-dong!]
[Fishman, back to prison!]
[Fishman, back to prison!]
In no time, the announcement sounded.
"Another one solved."
Hiding in an unused storage room, listening to her masterpiece, Jane Silk revealed a satisfied smile.
"So much for pure humans not screwing other pure humans over."
At this moment, she suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice.
Turning around, she saw Ree Shil standing at the doorway.
"You, you, you, you!"
Jane Silk was suddenly shocked, her expression like she had just seen a ghost.
"Weren’t you captured?!"
She clearly heard the prison announcement, so why was this person still here?
It’s impossible for the double-locked demons to be unlocked within such a short period of time, right?!
"Isn’t it me who should be asking you first?"
Ree Shil smiled but didn’t answer her question.
"It’s none of my business, I didn’t screw you over!"
"I just took advantage of the chaos to escape!"
Jane Silk looked indignant.
"Enough with the act, let’s lay our cards on the table."
"You’re the infiltrator."
Ree Shil didn’t want to waste any more time with her.
"? I have no idea what you’re talking about."
Jane Silk showed a puzzled expression.
"If I go out and spread the news, your identity as an infiltrator will be known to everyone in less than half a day."
Ree Shil ignored the other party’s performance and said to himself: "Do you think they will still fall for your tricks?"
"..."
As expected, upon hearing these words, Jane’s Silk’s expressions gradually darkened.
It seemed that the only choice was to send him back to prison. Only in a prison cell could his negative influence be minimized.
Thinking of this, her left hand hidden behind her back started to emit a faint glow.
As long as she imprinted this glowing mark on the target, the Guard Team would be able to track his location and movements until he was captured.
This was her special ability.
"What, you want to try to send me back to prison again?"
But it seemed like Ree Shil’s gaze could see through people’s hearts, as he jeered, "Do you really think a place like that could hold me?"
Jane Silk looked at the other party’s expression and considered the timing of his first and second jailbreaks, which made her feel that this was not a lie.
"In that case, I’ll just have to silence you forever."
In between her words, her figure gradually began to straighten up.
As she stood tall, her swan-like neck began to stretch rapidly.
By the time she finally stood upright, the length of her neck had surpassed that of her body.
It was obvious that this was not a shape that a pure human should have.
Her hunchback posture earlier was nothing more than a disguise to hide her long neck.
At this time, Jane Silk looked like a demon beast with a snake-like neck that swung gently back and forth, her eyes turning into vertical pupils, and her fangs exposed.
(What the hell is this thing?)
Even Ree Shil couldn’t help but feel a sudden shock in his heart.
He had suspected that she was a mole, but he had never expected her to be an actual ghost.
However, on the surface, he still maintained his composure.
"It won’t work to try and scare me,"
"You guards can’t kill prisoners, right?"
He believed that the Instance introduction wouldn’t lie to him.
It had said that the guards couldn’t kill them, so they couldn’t kill them.
"!"
His words caused Jane Silk’s pupils to dilate in shock: How did he know this?!
Yes, they couldn’t kill prisoners.
This wasn’t just an issue of discipline or regulations, but rather that this Ancient Palace was under a curse.
Once they became a guard within the palace, they would inevitably be cursed.
One of the effects of the curse was the inability to kill prisoners.
"What...what do you want?"
She knew that she had been completely cornered.
Her neck gradually shrank back, and she returned to her hunchbacked appearance.
No, it should be me asking you, what do you want."
Ree Shil chuckled,
As he knew his plan was already more than halfway successful.
"I want every single one of you prisoners dead."
Jane Silk gritted her teeth and said.
Among them, some were willing to become guards, while others were forced.
And she was of the involuntary sort.
In fact, once they entered the Ancient Palace, they couldn’t easily leave.
There were only two identities in here: prisoner or guard.
In truth, they were just another kind of prisoner, with slightly more freedom. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Most importantly, Jane Silk knew some information that other guards didn’t.
Firstly, if the great seal on the gate of the Ancient Palace were broken, the guards would replace the prisoners as the true prisoners forever locked in the palace.
Secondly, only when all the current prisoners in the Ancient Palace died, could the guards regain their true freedom.
But due to the restrictions of the curse, she couldn’t tell anyone about these secrets.
She guessed that perhaps some of the Guardian Officers also knew some of these secrets.
It was simply due to the curse that they couldn’t share the information.
However, Ree Shil’s next statement seemed to bring a glimmer of hope to Jane Silk.
"It’s quite ironic that a guard who can’t kill prisoners wants to kill them all."
"But did you know that a prisoner can kill other prisoners..."
This was his real purpose in searching for the mole.
"Are you...telling the truth?!"
Jane Silk’s eyes widened.
"If you don’t believe me, I can prove it in the upcoming match."
Ree Shil casually cleaned his ears.
"So, are you saying..."
For the first time, a sincere smile appeared on Jane Silk’s face.
Although the person standing across from her was a damned prisoner, she couldn’t help but find him agreeable.
"Shall we form an alliance, trading favors and loyalty."
Ree Shil smiled as well.
If he killed all the contestants within the 3-day deadline, would the Association Headquarters directly award him the champion trophy?
