Chapter 198 Infernal Affairs
"David, stop asking. I know what you're trying to do, but neither the demons, the priests, the church, the city, nor that man from just now are beings that neither you nor I can afford to mess with. And you should also know that none of them are good people!"
David agreed with this.
He didn't know about others, but he had already witnessed Jiang Xiao's "evil".
All I can say is that he truly deserves to be the father of a little devil despite being just a mortal!
They're even more demonic than the devil himself!
Of course, if someone isn't inherently bad or isn't particularly capable, how could they dare to play such elaborate tricks?
David had traveled to quite a few towns in the vicinity, and had also visited several cities.
Even the richest and most powerful men in the village only dared to buy maids to cosplay as demons and do role-playing games.
Who else would grab a live, real demon and toy with it like Jiang Xiao did?!
Especially since this demon was unlike any he had ever seen before.
The demons he encountered all seemed to have lost their minds; how could a pink demon be as cute as this?
This is also the source of Martha's confidence in selling the Muxitang at a high price.
The old lady leaned against the window, gazing at the distant starry sky.
Life is unpredictable, and no matter how hard she tried, she could only stay in this godforsaken little town.
As for the big cities outside, hehehe~
"It's really not a good thing!" Xiaoya said righteously.
“That’s right, Park In-meng, don’t take it too seriously. There’s an old saying in China: ‘Don’t be elated by external gains or saddened by personal losses.’ I hope you understand this principle.” Jack quoted a classical Chinese saying.
"Ugh! It's rubbish, not even a dog would use it!" Lashi said succinctly.
However, Park In-myung noticed his incessant act of stuffing the fragments into his clothes.
That's right.
This bridge-crossing reward is not a one-time event; every team in the past has been able to receive it once.
Park In-meng, the fourth to cross the bridge, naturally ended up empty-handed.
The three girls, Xiaoya and her companions, who received the fragment reward, wanted to avoid making Park In-myung jealous.
Not only would she not let him touch her, she wouldn't even tell him what the effects were.
This filled Park In-moon with jealousy.
OK OK.
You three had your fun, but in the end I just wasted my time, right?
Xiaoya was the team leader, and she was the first to cross the bridge without knowing whether the chains were safe. It's acceptable for Park In-meng to accept a fragment from her.
Lassie didn't hold a defensive position either. Let's not dwell on who's right or wrong for now. In any case, at least they let the three of them drink fresh and sweet milk.
As for you, Jack?
What the hell makes you think you can be the second person to cross the bridge?
From beginning to end, besides betraying your teammates twice, what the hell have you done?!
just wait.
Let's see if I can still give you the best treatment next time!
The already disunited team grew even more rifted after crossing the bridge once.
Don't say that Xiaoya's team isn't united enough.
That was comparing Jiang Xiao's team to theirs.
After Xiaoya and her friends crossed the iron chain bridge, the first minor climax of the ghost story arrived.
More than twenty Chosen Ones died at the hands of their own teammates.
That's right, he died at the hands of his own teammates.
Some people were dissatisfied with the order in which the teams crossed the bridge.
For example, the fourth-place finisher shook the third-place finisher, who was already chained up, off into the abyss.
Some were dissatisfied with their team captain's domineering and forceful nature.
So the three of them conspired and rebelled, causing the captain, who was crossing the iron chain bridge, to fall into the abyss.
Some even played double agents, betraying each other.
He then told his brother that the other two were planning to join forces with him to get rid of "Big Brother".
Unexpectedly, the other two thought the same thing.
It was supposed to be a small team of four, but many people managed to create seven different circles.
Most of the casualties occurred after crossing the bridge.
There were too many monks and not enough porridge, so they could only...
Even if you use all the external reminders you can think of, it won't help.
They just won't listen!
You say we won't kill each other, so we won't?
Why should I be the one who suffers?
Getting a real treasure is more valuable than anything else!
As for whether they will be punished after they leave, that's even more of a joke.
If I could get out, I'd be a great hero of my country! How could I possibly be punished?
If we can't get out.
If they can't get out, it means they've died in the ghost stories, so there's no way the outside world can restrain them. They're already dead, why would I tolerate their bad habits?
The main reason for this situation is that the team leader is not skilled enough.
Jiang Xiao's skill level goes without saying.
His name alone was enough to suppress the ulterior motives of his other teammates.
Xiao Ya is not as powerful as Jiang Xiao.
But at least her talent is much better than Jack's, who is the second strongest in the team. In addition, she is the younger sister of Nako, who had passed two and a half levels in a row. With the help of her talent and bloodline, her teammates are quite convinced of her abilities.
But other teams can't do it.
There were four people in total, and none of them would give in to the others.
Even if a captain was chosen, it was just a case of choosing the best among the short ones; he wasn't much better than the other three.
After crossing the chain bridge, even among the teams that didn't suffer any fatalities, the animosity between them grew increasingly stronger.
The final result will either be an eruption in silence or a demise in silence.
The outside world had already exploded!
"Damn it, so many people died just from crossing a bridge? We haven't even gotten into the town yet!"
"Now I finally understand why the rules say that the more people in a team, the more difficult it becomes. In the end, it's because they're not united."
"Hey! I wouldn't say anything if they died at the hands of some weirdo, but look at this! Apart from the two who were trampled to death by the cow, the rest of them died at the hands of their teammates!"
"Even reminders are useless."
"Damn rules, they're just exploiting people's jealousy!"
"The sky is not the highest thing; the human heart is the highest."
But there's nothing we can do; those are the rules.
In this situation, anyone would have a problem being the fourth child who comes empty-handed.
The chosen one who obtained the fragment would certainly not give the best thing he got to the weakest fourth place.
Therefore, conflict is inevitable.
Ugh, this is tough.
"Huh? Captain Xiaoya, there's someone on the bridge!" Jack's words interrupted Park In-meng's jealous fantasy.
The four of them stopped and examined the object carefully.
And the people on the bridge were none other than...
It was the fisherman whose entire fortune was swindled by Jiang Xiao.
He was seething with anger right now!
They stole our food, our drinks, and even the tinderboxes and bait for lighting and heating!
Most importantly, he's been squatting here all this time and hasn't caught a single fish!
