Chapter 1230: Choose Life, or Death

In the corridor, all thirteen people were nervously watching their surroundings.

Compared to the entrance and the lobby, this place seemed unexpectedly clean.

But this brief appearance of “normalcy”… instead made everyone feel a subtle sense of fear.

Who knows… what they’ll face next…

“Da da da da da…”

A strange melody suddenly rang out, startling everyone.

Ling Mo said calmly, “I just started humming unconsciously…”

“How unconscious can you get…”

“The captain is leading us in being unserious…” Everyone instantly felt a chill.

But with his interruption, the oppressive atmosphere eased a lot. A dozen seconds later, a Corridor came into view before everyone’s eyes.

At this moment, Ye Lian suddenly turned her head to look behind…

“What’s wrong?” Ling Mo quickly asked in a low voice.

Ye Lian bit her fingernail and thought for a moment, then finally shook her head.

“Nothing then…” Ling Mo also glanced back, muttering softly to himself.

“Captain, come look at this,” Xu Shuhan called out.

“Hmm?” Ling Mo immediately turned to look.

On the old, rotting carpet, there was a pool of bright red blood…

The blood ultimately formed a large arrow and a line of Chinese characters.

“Choose life, or death…” Black Silk squatted on the ground for a while, reading aloud.

“Compared to the atmosphere this guy created… the handwriting is really awful.” Black Silk curled her lip again.

“Uh…” Ling Mo frowned in distress… Why would a dog-girl say something like this so naturally!

This world really is a mess!

“So, the opponent wants us to make a choice here?” Xia Na tilted her head and glanced at the stairs leading upward. “Actually, there’s a hidden third option…” ȑ𝓪Ɲ𝖔ᛒƐ𝓢

“But it’s certain that no matter what choice we make, the other side will take corresponding action…” Gu Shuangshuang said worriedly.

Actually, the best way to solve the problem now would be to split into three teams… But with the situation unclear, this was the last option Ling Mo’s group would choose.

“No matter which we pick, we might fall into a trap and be led by the nose…” Zhang Xincheng sighed.

These tricks from the other side seem minor, but in such a perilous place, they really can confuse and mislead…

“The music is coming from both sides…” Skinny Monkey pressed against the wall and listened carefully for a while, then said with difficulty.

“They really came prepared…” Ye Kai clenched his fists again, gritting his teeth in anger.

“Wait…” Ling Mo stopped them at this moment.

He looked around the bloodstains, then suddenly fixed his gaze on the spot where the carpet met the wall.

“Xia Na.”

As soon as Ling Mo spoke, Xia Na immediately walked over. With a flick of her Scythe, the carpet was suddenly lifted.

On the floor, a pool of blood was revealed…

“This… what do you think?” Ling Mo turned his head and asked.

Yuwen Xuan flipped the carpet over and looked at it, then glanced at the floor and said, “I see… Although it didn’t seep through immediately, some traces have started to show… But even so, it’s not easy to notice. Captain, how did you spot it?”

“Such a large amount of blood, yet not a trace of coagulation. It can’t possibly have been collected in advance. And the corpses we saw earlier showed no signs of being drained. So… this must belong to another corpse. If it was bled here, there shouldn’t be no traces around…” Ling Mo said.

“So…” Xia Na took a few steps back, glanced at the stairs going down, then looked back at the blood and said, “The opponent… maybe one or two of them, dragged a corpse that had just been killed, still warm, and with no wounds on the surface, to the second floor… This explains why there were no bloodstains on the stairs; then, they lifted the carpet, pressed it here, drained the blood, and then used the blood to leave this message. After finishing, they covered the carpet again, creating this eerie scene to make you even more wary…”

She suddenly pointed at Ye Kai and the others.

“Why did you just say it out loud!”

“And you only said ‘you’! You just excluded yourself!”

Skinny Monkey and the others broke out in a cold sweat: “Although it’s not wrong…”

“So… the corpse was dragged away by the other side.” Mu Chen quickly caught the key point.

How the other side did it doesn’t really matter… Xia Na wouldn’t have said all this just for that!

“Yes! The key is the corpse! The other side drew this arrow, but it actually means nothing! We just need to reconstruct what happened at the time…” Ling Mo turned to look at Li Yalin.

So much blood gushed out. Even if the other side blocked it somehow, there was one thing that couldn’t be hidden…

And Ling Mo was almost certain this was the biggest oversight the other side had made so far!

They underestimated the corpse they toyed with!

“Hehe, got it!”

Li Yalin walked to the front of the group, stopped by the arrow, and closed her eyes.

Everyone saw her with her back to them, but she didn’t seem to do anything, making them all curious.

But Ling Mo and the others looked calm, which gave everyone a bit of confidence.

Maybe… they really could reconstruct something…

“Whoosh!”

Li Yalin suddenly opened her eyes. Her pupils had become vertical, and the centers were blood-red. Her gaze was so cold, there was no trace of human disguise left. Though the others couldn’t see her face, they all felt a chill.

“I see it…”

Li Yalin’s gaze swept over the bloodstains… then slowly shifted to the side…

“It’s this way!” Her eyes suddenly returned to normal as she turned back.

“Just as I thought!” Ling Mo immediately showed a hint of excitement.

The corpse had just died, still warm, and was drained of blood… Even if they could hide the scent, they couldn’t hide the heat!

“No matter who they are… they’re very cautious,” Li Yalin added.

Ling Mo patted her Arm and nodded.

They didn’t leave any body heat…

“Shows they’re calm and unhurried… But unfortunately, the more you do, the more likely you are to slip up…” Ling Mo said.

The Team Members looked at their captain with strange expressions again…

After what just happened, are you sure that’s appropriate to say…

Ling Mo immediately realized and showed a pained expression…

Although Ban Yue didn’t say anything wrong… but could you all just choose to forget this part!

“Let’s go! Let’s drag those tricksters out!” Ling Mo said.

…

“So soon out of my theater… but it’s useless…”

On a chair, a figure was sitting there.

In the dim light, he held a cup of tea, sipping it gently…

“I know you’re impressive… but how do you know I haven’t made every preparation?”

“Come on, keep going! Some things you won’t understand until the end. In fact, some things were written in the script long ago…”

“Hahahaha…” He let out a soft laugh…

“As for being a pervert… it’s just the art of making oneself stronger…”

…

“Pa!”

Just as Ling Mo and the others chose a direction, his hand slipped, and a red object suddenly fell out, then vanished into the Ceiling.

“Hmph…”

Ling Mo glanced left and right, then walked forward without looking back.

“Master, what are you doing?” Black Silk asked in Ling Mo’s mind.

“Nothing… Ever since I saw that corpse explode, I’ve had a vague feeling… things might not be so simple…” Ling Mo said.

“Is that so…” Black Silk replied thoughtfully, then said, “Anyway, I’ve recorded everything you asked me to…”

At this, an image suddenly flashed through Ling Mo’s mind…
