Chapter 2646: Chapter 2641: Eight Malicious Women (17)

That’s right, the sword Fu Qian claimed to have seen is precisely the reward given by the Night Watchman earlier.

Miss Liushuang not only just covered her face with a piece of cloth, without changing her appearance and voice, but even the weapon she carried was far from low-key.

However, this cannot be dismissed as half-hearted; no matter the purpose, don’t forget that for someone relatively weaker like her, this weapon can significantly bridge the gap.

Moreover, considering that it’s always been a collection of the Night Watchman, there shouldn’t be many who can recognize it at first glance, unless they pull it out and try it a few times.

After all, once drawn, the weight increases rapidly over time, a core feature known to those familiar with it, leading to inevitable associations—

”Nice sword, thanks for cooperating.”

However, the next surprising moment unfolded as Wen Li hesitated slightly after fiddling with it, yet she didn’t draw the sword, choosing instead to return it directly.

Seemed rather cautious.

The victim showed willingness to cooperate, yet withdrew at the end; this behavior was somewhat abnormal.

But as partners handcuffed together, Fu Qian still expressed understanding of this scene.

Could Miss Liushuang be suspicious?

Anyone sitting here is suspicious; just a slightly cooperative posture or noticeably young voice won’t dispel that notion.

But here’s the issue—can you completely eliminate suspicion among so many suspects?

Miss Wen appears strong, but a closer look reveals her situation is not so favorable.

The people in the Dark Sanctuary, regardless of appearance, are almost certainly unfriendly.

And the other few who joined as hitchhikers can’t be deemed reliable either.

Faced with such a situation, is she really prepared to shoulder everything alone?

This is the true test of her ability to control the situation.

And whether through force or alliance, the core principle is that the leader should never expose their Blood Bar.

The sword is indeed peculiar, but knowing its peculiarity is enough. Drawing it might reveal more, but would that information be useful?

Is pulling out the peculiar weapon offered so magnanimously really safe? Could it lead to strange consequences?

So, it’s neither arrogance nor cowardice. On the contrary, Miss Wen’s handling shows maturity and caution.

And a clear mind, with determination to never slack off in achieving her goal.

”You’re welcome.”

At least, it seems Miss Liushuang has understood.

Gazing deeply at the other, she reached out to regain her sword, not forgetting to make a courteous remark.

”So do you know why the people at the checkpoint are absent?”

And surely enough, not letting it go, Wen Li kept her eyes on the veiled face, suddenly asking.

...

Well asked.

The topic took quite a leap, yet at that moment, Fu Qian secretly admired her.

One should not forsake the essential for the trifling, and Wen Li indeed remembered her mission here.

Maintaining the situation was always just a means; the task still needed doing.

Specifically in the current context, it was about finding a way out while maintaining dynamic balance and getting the captive out.

Considering the blocked checkpoint was the only path, why it was blocked was undoubtedly a question worth confirming.

Among the original three in the Dark Sanctuary, Professor Lisa had already engaged in some conversation, and Lady No.7 had been rather candid; both seemed quite innocent under the circumstances.

Next, it was only logical to talk with Miss Liushuang.

Though related to the checkpoint, theoretically, Lisa should know more.

After all, according to her, she drove the other vehicle over there, and Miss Liushuang was not even a passenger.

Yet the more this is the case, the more worth anticipating Miss Liushuang’s answer to this question becomes.

Would such an honest young person simply feign ignorance? Could her responses truly align with Lisa’s account without discrepancies?

It can only be said that any outcome would provide valuable information, and Wen Li’s reasoning remains clear.

Besides, her question does seem rather difficult to answer.

”... I’m not sure.”

After a moment of thoughtful frowning, Ji Liushuang shook her head, her answer lacked confidence but reflected independent thinking, without any action indicating deference to Lisa’s opinion.

”Logically, unless it’s dark, the road there wouldn’t be blocked casually. I’ve come here specifically to find out why.”

It was evident she had some understanding of the nature of this place, incidentally explaining why she came to the Dark Sanctuary.

”Makes sense, then how do you plan to investigate?”

Facing her statement, Wen Li nodded in agreement while continuing to press for details.

”People.”

This time, Miss Liushuang answered concisely.

”Rather than assuming some anomaly occurred here, I’m more inclined to believe someone is behind it.”

...

Indeed, following Professor Ben for so long, Miss Liushuang, you’ve finally learned something worthwhile.

Amidst the questions and answers, the air in the Dark Sanctuary seemed to grow thicker.

Nonetheless, Fu Qian remained pleased with Miss Liushuang’s performance.

With Miss Wen at the core of five people, plus three Dark Sanctuary warriors, the situation, though heavily veiled in intrigue, could still be vaguely divided into two factions.

As a result, Miss Liushuang’s remark served to illuminate the unpredictable nature of human intentions before everyone.

While the source of the problem remained unknown, people surely created it.

Thus, the only two things needing clarity were—who caused it and how was it accomplished?

In an environment where few were well-acquainted, everyone was suspicious, and the situation grew undeniably murkier within mere sentences.

”Seems to make sense, so have you reached a conclusion?”

Even Wen Li appeared slightly moved, probing further.

Conclusion...

This time, Miss Liushuang found herself pausing, deep in thought.

At the same time, everyone who fell under her gaze exhibited subtle startled reactions.

”It’s okay, speak freely.”

Fortunately, a heartwarming moment unfolded, as Fu Qian, catching her gaze, gave a benevolent smile and encouragement, signaling not to fear mistakes.

”For instance, it’s actually a safety measure I set. If captured, quickly block the exit to seize a chance for escape.”

Not stopping there, Fu Qian even used himself as an example, speculating on one possibility.

”Sounds valid... But since you’ve been captured, how would you have managed that?”

Whether self-deprecation or self-awareness, Wen Li turned to look over, surprisingly refraining from outright denying the suggestion but merely raising doubt.

”That’s simple enough—you folks include one of my moles.”

The wording was somewhat sharp, yet it never fazed Fu Qian.

Without a blink, he swiftly redirected the scrutiny back at the crowd.
