Don't provoke mentally ill people in the infinite flow genre!

The corpse lying on the long table had been mostly removed by Yan Zhao, even its head had been cut off, leaving only half a bloody skeleton.

Pork ribs were stewing in a large pot on the stove, steaming hot and filled with a strange aroma of meat.

At this moment, it's almost nauseating.

"Damn it, this is the worst luck imaginable." Yan Zhao washed his hands in the sink a dozen times, cursing as he did so. "I thought I could find something to eat in the cafeteria, but it turns out to be stewed human flesh."

"Try to think positively," Yi Zanglan casually comforted her. "At least we confirmed that the meat on the plate earlier was human flesh, so it was wise not to eat it."

Tang Yunxi suggested, "Why don't you pick up a couple of potatoes to eat later?"

"Don't even mention potatoes. You cut them like mahjong tiles; it's a miracle they even cook through."

"There's still enough time. Let's simmer it a little longer; it'll be cooked through eventually."

"Tsk."

Worried that the braised pork ribs and potatoes wouldn't be tender enough, the three of them stewed them for a full two hours before lifting the lid, and Yan Zhao and Tang Yunxi then plated them one by one.

Yi Zanglan heated the oil in the wok again and began stir-frying another vegetarian dish on the menu, green peppers and eggplant, using a wok that was as big as a shovel.

By the time she finished stir-frying and took it out of the pan, the rice on the other side was also cooked.

Yan Zhao picked up a pair of chopsticks, took two bites of eggplant, and gave it a thumbs up with satisfaction.

"As expected of you, it's just that the seasoning wasn't enough, otherwise it would have tasted even better."

Tang Yun, being curious, also took a bite and looked surprised.

"This is much better than the food we've had these past two days! Lanlan, you're actually good at cooking?"

"I know a little."

"Can I come to your house for a meal after we leave?"

Yan Zhao immediately stopped her: "Excuse me, she is my tenant. Outsiders are not welcome in my home."

"Why don't you come to my house? You two can come to my house." Tang Yunxi warmly invited, "My kitchen is very spacious, but unfortunately I can't cook, so I've hardly ever used it."

"I don't care how spacious your kitchen is, is this the time to talk about this? And stop eating! We won't have enough for twenty-two people!"

……

The cafeteria task was successfully completed, and when lunch was served in the afternoon, Yi Zanglan received a plate of braised pork ribs that she had chopped herself, as well as stir-fried green peppers and eggplant that she had cooked herself.

The system showed that the sentence was reduced by two months, but that's not important. What's the difference between thirty years and twenty-nine years?

She quickly caught up on some sleep, and during this time, the three female ghosts possessing her did not give her any new instructions.

However, when she looked at them in the mirror, she found that the three of them were indeed fighting again, and they even started crying while fighting.

Tears streamed down their rotting, cut, and swollen faces—a truly bizarre and sorrowful spectacle.

……

The evening was a group activity as usual. The team building event was divided into eleven groups of 22 people, with each group consisting of two people. The competition was to find the teammate who was being held captive.

Imprisoned players will be randomly hidden anywhere in the prison by guards. They must crack a code in a book to unlock their shackles; their teammates need to find them and bring them back to the original location.

The final ranking is based on the time of return. The first place winner still receives a six-month reduction in sentence, and the lower the ranking, the less the reduction.

It's clear that the level of anxiety tonight is on a completely different scale compared to last night.

Naturally, some players are still doing the tasks seriously, but others are clearly distracted and just going through the motions.

Without exception, all the players who were perfunctory in their attitude have already found the mirror, reached half of their fellow inmates' favorability, and unlocked the side quest.

Since not all two people in a team share the same goal, main quest players who are unfortunately grouped with side quest players may face the risk of being dragged down.

In short, Yi Zanglan and Yan Zhao are still a well-coordinated pair tonight.

Yan Zhao deciphered the code, and Yi Canglan searched for someone; they were indeed interfered with and hindered by other players along the way.

Yi Zanglan swung the iron chain that bound Yan Zhao with great force, pulling the chain from each person equally, leaving no one out.

The two ran incredibly fast and unsurprisingly became the winners of the race once again.

Due to the limited number of participants, Tang Yunxi was unable to team up with the two of them, but was instead invited by Wu Ying.

Whether she did the task or not didn't matter, and neither did Wu Ying. Neither of them was in a hurry, but she was just too lucky. She had just turned a corner on the second floor when she found the room where Wu Ying was being held.

Worried about affecting Yan Zhao's ranking, she deliberately slowed down and took a detour back, ultimately securing third place.

"In a three-person team, someone always has to be left out." On the way back, Wu Ying fiddled with the mirror in her hand and casually extended an invitation to her, "How about it, want to team up with me? I'm not bad either."

"I know you're quite strong," Tang Yunxi told the truth, "but my intuition tells me you're rather dangerous and not really suitable to be a teammate—let's just have a casual chat tonight, and that way we won't harm those players who need reduced sentences."

"You're really honest," Wu Ying laughed. "Why do you think I'm dangerous?"

Tang Yunxi sighed. Sometimes her mind wasn't quick enough, but she was definitely not stupid.

"Both of your female teammates from yesterday are dead. If I team up with you, I'm afraid I'll die tonight too."

Wu Ying's smile deepened: "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I promised your former teammate."

"Lanlan?"

"Oh, I think her name is Lanlan. Anyway... I feel like you got a pretty good deal."

Tang Yunxi was stunned. After a long while, her eyes sparkled, and she gave a joyful smile.

"Of course I'm the one who benefits."

[System notification: Prisoners number 2, 17, and 24 will be interrogated tonight.]

At midnight, as the wind chimes rang, this new message popped up on the system interfaces of all players.

Undoubtedly, a new mechanism has been launched tonight.

Previously, many people had doubts about whether this game could really allow them to gradually reduce their sentences and complete tasks, and just keep dragging it out until they could clear the game.

It turned out that it didn't work.

The system is controlling the mortality rate. Starting tonight, three people will be randomly interrogated every night, and if nothing unexpected happens, all three will die.

There are at most seven nights left. The longer it drags on, the more people will die, and sooner or later it will be my turn.

This is a reminder for players to speed up.

...Yi Zanglan's original plan for tonight was to find Player 30, since she still had a female ghost named A Yue to collect.

But as soon as she stepped out the door, she stopped, frowned, and looked down at the bracelet.

Among the prisoners being interrogated was number 24, and number 24 was Yan Zhao.

Yan Zhao's luck is terrible; good things never come his way, but bad things always seem to happen to him.

She remained silent for a long time, her eyes growing cold, then she sighed deeply and strode towards the stairs.

Just as they reached the corner, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind them.
