The female player living in cell number 11 is named Tang Yunxi. She wears a cartoon hoodie under her prison uniform, which makes her look very youthful. She has a fluffy hair clip in her brown curly hair and a sweet baby face, but she is over 1.7 meters tall.

Yi Zanglan herself is 1.68 meters tall, and this girl is half a head taller than her. At this moment, she is holding her arm and resting her head on her shoulder, looking like a giant Arctic hare.

She was certain the girl was human, but her overly familiar manner exceeded her expectations. Anyone who could enter this kind of instance was basically either Diamond or Emerald in rank, and had a lot of experience. They would all be a little wary of other players, so how could someone start hugging and kissing right away?

"Please let go, thank you."

"I'm a good person, really, and I recognized you." Because of the rules, Tang Yunxi didn't dare speak too loudly, so she could only explain in a low voice, "Your name is Yi Zanglan, right? You've only played two games, and you've already risen to eighth on the Rising Star Ranking. I've watched your livestreams; you're incredibly skilled, and you're also very loyal!"

Yi Zanglan strode forward, observing and memorizing the surrounding terrain as she casually replied, "I'm not righteous. I like killing. Killing makes me feel good, especially pretty young girls."

Tang Yunxi touched her face: "...No, I admit I am very pretty, but I absolutely didn't mean any harm. I run very fast too, I just want to find a reliable teammate to walk with."

"Then you should just tie a teammate to your account outside the game."

"Nobody wants to be associated with me." Tang Yunxi said this with a slight embarrassment, then quickly added, "But it's not because I'm a bad person. I'm very loyal and enjoy making friends!"

"I don't like making friends."

"But aren't you with a curse master..."

"She gave the money."

"If you'd like, I can pay you!"

With a light touch, Yi Zanglan pried Tang Yunxi's hand off her. She smiled gently, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

"You're noisy. Follow along if you want, but don't talk anymore—I don't want to snap someone's neck right from the start."

"..."

Sensing the threat in the other person's tone, Tang Yunxi immediately quieted down and obediently followed behind.

The two encountered several more players along the way. Given the dim lighting and unclear situation, most of them chose to split up and avoid getting together to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Yi Zanglan turned around, casually took off Tang Yunxi's fluffy hair clip, and used the metal side to carve a mark on the wall to confirm the route.

Tang Yunxi whispered, "I saw the map when I came. The prison has four floors. Except for the fourth floor, each floor has ten cells. We are on the second floor."

"Um."

Based on this calculation, there should be thirty players participating in this game, which is considered a game with a large number of participants.

Yi Zanglan first needed to find out where Yan Zhao was. She had a feeling that there wasn't enough time, so she needed to decide whether to go upstairs or downstairs first.

...Just as she was about to go up to the third floor, she saw a figure flash by, hurrying down from the third floor.

The two met face to face; it was Yan Zhao.

You guessed right. Yan Zhao's luck rating is D-, which usually means he'll be assigned to a higher floor, like the haunted apartment in the previous game.

Yan Zhao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Yi Zanglan, but he soon noticed that there was a girl standing next to Yi Zanglan.

Her expression changed slightly, and she asked quietly, "It's only been a short time since we separated, and you've already found new teammates?"

"Don't always say things that are ambiguous."

By the light of the overhead lamp, Yan Zhao took another look at Tang Yunxi. She seemed to pause for a moment, then asked, "...A koi fish doll?"

Yi Zanglan glanced sideways at Tang Yunxi, seemingly lost in thought: "A koi fish doll?"

Where did this funny name come from?

"Please don't call me by that title, okay? It's so embarrassing!" Tang Yunxi quickly stopped her. "How do you know me?"

"Your live streams are popular, of course I've watched them."

Since entering the game, Yan Zhao has been studying live streams and frequenting forums. She is dedicated to collecting information on all the popular and skilled players in order to know herself and her enemy and improve her survival rate.

Therefore, she has an impression of almost all the skilled players whose names she can recall.

Tang Yunxi, nicknamed "Koi Fish Doll," is a player with perfect luck in the game.

Her achievement of reaching the Diamond rank today is not entirely due to intelligence and talent, but more so to sheer luck.

After all, luck is a very important thing in the game of bad luck.

"Ever since she reached Diamond rank, she's made it a habit to team up with a friend in every game," Yan Zhao said. "But most players aren't willing to cooperate with her."

Why?

"Because she's so lucky, when you're with her, any troublesome situation in the game will fall on your teammates first, and she'll get all the rewards—which is actually bad luck for others."

"That doesn't apply to all situations! Usually, only those with malicious intentions are particularly affected by me; they're deliberately smearing me on the forum!" Tang Yunxi quickly explained. "Besides, I'm very useful in finding clues and props! If you cooperate with me, I can share an important clue about the rules that I guarantee you don't know yet!"

Every transaction requires conditions, and these conditions are clearly quite attractive.

Yan Zhao quickly exchanged a glance with Yi Zanglan, and she warned sternly, "My teammate here is an executioner who graduated from a mental hospital. If you lie, even if you're lucky, you won't escape being hacked to death by her."

"...Don't try to scare me." Yi Zanglan was rarely speechless. "Let me see your talent panel."

This last sentence was said to Tang Yunxi.

Tang Yunxi didn't hesitate. She had recently watched the live stream of the Ghost Apartment incident and knew that both of them had strange tempers but had bottom lines. As long as she had value, she had a good chance of reaching a consensus with them.

In a game with thirty players, the mortality rate is bound to be high. She can't rely solely on luck and fight alone; that would be too risky.

"good!"

She immediately brought up the talent panel and showed it to Yi Zanglan.

[Player [Tang Yunxi]'s Talent Panel:]

Mental Strength: A-

Insight: B+

Attack power: B

Agility: A+

Damage tolerance: B-

Luck rating: S+

Yi Zanglan sighed at Yan Zhao: "Other people have S+ luck, you have D-."

Yan Zhao couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Shut up, I don't want to hear it."

"Isn't this interesting?" Yi Zanglan coaxed. "You two are polar opposites. Your luck is already so bad that it's impossible for her to absorb your luck anymore. You might even be able to turn the tables on her. You should definitely give it a try."

"Oh...that makes sense?"

Tang Yunxi was shocked upon hearing this: "Is your luck rating D-?"

"Otherwise what?" Yan Zhao revealed a pair of sharp canine teeth, deliberately sneering at her like a malevolent vampire. "I'm not afraid of you. Hurry up and share the clues, after all, you came to me yourself."

"..."

Tang Yunxi had a vague feeling that she might have boarded a pirate ship, but she had no other choice. If these two sisters held a grudge against her, the consequences would likely be just like those two useless men from the Frostwinter Team, who would die a terrible death.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you," she whispered. "When you go back to your cells, remember to check under the bed; there's a mirror there."

"Mirror?"

"Yes, you'll understand once you see the mirror."

Yan Zhao originally intended to ask a few more questions, but before he could speak, the sharp and piercing ringtone sounded again.

"Is outdoor playtime over? We need to hurry back!"

...and that's not all.

Just as the three were about to part ways, they suddenly heard a metallic scraping sound coming from the end of the corridor.

Tap, tap, tap.

It looked like someone wearing leather shoes was walking this way.
