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

Based on the severity of the crimes committed by the six individuals present, the system's answers, ranked from highest to lowest, are as follows:

Yi Zanglan, Yan Zhao, Wu Ying, No. 16, Tang Yunxi, No. 9.

Yi Zanglan and Yan Zhao, Tang Yunxi and No. 9 – these two confusing options are easy to get wrong.

However, all four girls answered correctly. Number 9 guessed the first two wrong, and number 16 guessed the last two wrong.

Since the four girls tied for first place, the other two naturally had to be tied for last place. There was no middle ground; the only difference was between a six-month reduction in sentence and a six-month increase in sentence.

Number 9 was clearly a little disappointed, but didn't seem to care much. It was clear that this wasn't his main task, and he must have found the mirror earlier.

But Number 16 seemed very anxious. He came here and didn't get any reward, and his sentence was extended by seven months, which was completely different from his expectations.

Over the next few hours, the prison guards distributed some tedious study materials and asked them to copy them onto paper, filling more than a dozen pages within a set time.

Number 16 had no interest in copying any documents; his mind was filled with his seven-month prison sentence. He was doing the main quest, which only made completing the game much more difficult.

More importantly, now that players are being randomly selected for interrogation at night, and with the forced execution mechanism in place, he has even less time.

What if we fail because of this?

Why? How come all four women were able to answer correctly? Did they cheat?

Damn it, not a single woman is any good. They're all just like his dead ex-wife—they're an eyesore and only get in his way!

Anger made him lose his mind, unable to distinguish between reality and the game. After a while, he suddenly got up from his seat and, in a fit of rage, started tearing at Wu Ying, who was closest to him.

"Why? I only got one wrong, why am I getting an extra sentence? You cheated, you all cheated!"

He was incredibly strong, almost tearing Wu Ying's scalp off. Wu Ying never expected this man to suddenly go crazy. She was stunned for two seconds before reacting and slapping him across the face.

"Relax!"

The slap on the 16th only made him more frenzied. He grabbed Wu Ying by the neck and slammed her hard onto the table.

"You sluts, die! All of you, die!"

Wu Ying was an agile assassin, but not strong enough to break free for a time.

Tang Yunxi was shocked and instinctively tried to help pull open number 16, but Yan Zhao was faster than her.

Yan Zhao had been displeased with Number 16's face for a long time, so she suddenly punched him twice in the eye sockets, then quickly sat back down and shouted a warning.

"Prison guard, inmate number 16 is causing trouble and harassing a female prisoner!"

Taking advantage of the moment when No. 16 leaned back in pain, Wu Ying finally broke free from his hand and retreated to the side with a cold expression.

The prison guard was right outside the door. Hearing the noise, he kicked the door open and saw Number 16 acting like he'd lost his mind, about to fight Yan Zhao to the death again.

"Fighting is prohibited during study time! Send him to solitary confinement!"

Then three more prison guards came in and, ignoring Number 16's struggles, forcibly took him away.

Just before leaving on the 16th, he was still clinging to the door frame, trying to resist. His face was contorted with rage as he roared at them viciously.

"You bitches! You just wait, I won't let you get away with this!"

Yi Zanglan glanced up, then continued copying with a lazy expression.

"It's really long, it looks like a stick insect."

"But he's really tough," Yan Zhao complained, shaking his hand. "When I punch him in the face, it's me who feels the pain."

"Then will you still be able to copy the book?"

"You can copy? So what? If you can't copy, you'll have to copy for me?"

Yi Zanglan smiled and refused: "Impossible, I'm already annoyed enough just copying this one."

"Tsk."

Tang Yunxi asked Wu Ying, "Are you alright?"

"...It's nothing." Wu Ying rubbed her neck, which had been pinched until it was red, and frowned as she spoke. "Thank you all for earlier, especially Number 24."

"No need to thank me, it wasn't all to help you." Yan Zhao didn't even look up. "He was cursing at all four of us, and I don't like listening to him. Part of it is a personal grudge."

Once player number 16 was taken away, the room became much quieter. Player number 9 diligently copied the text from beginning to end, not daring to utter a sound, for fear that he might offend someone and get punched as well.

There are three habitual murderers sitting over there!

The day passed peacefully, and the evening group activities were still conducted in pairs, mainly involving physical competition.

Given that he only had one month left to serve his sentence, Yan Zhao chose to keep a low profile and conserve his energy.

She and Yi Zanglan achieved a mid-to-low ranking, securing a month's bonus.

As for Tang Yunxi, who was left out, he was still in a group with Wu Ying. The two of them simply took advantage of the situation and ended up in last place.

During the game, Wu Ying took a break to chat with Tang Yunxi: "Have you finished the tasks assigned by your ghost cellmate?"

"No, I plan to do it tonight."

"Aren't you worried at all?" Wu Ying thought for a moment, then vaguely understood, "Because they'll help you?"

Tang Yun smiled, which, though not explicitly stated, was tantamount to tacit agreement.

Wu Ying sighed: "You really trust them completely."

"I simply trust my intuition completely."

"Then what else can you intuitively infer?"

Tang Yunxi said, "You're not a bad person either."

Wu Ying almost laughed at her: "Did I claim to be a bad person? Of course, I'm not exactly a good person either, just someone with a strong survival instinct."

"Isn't a strong will to survive a good thing? Who doesn't want to live?"

"Yes, that makes sense."

……

This is the fourth night the players have been in Qingyang Prison.

When midnight arrived, all surviving players received another system notification.

[System notification: Prisoners number 1, 16, and 26 will be interrogated tonight.]

Prisoner number 16 is the male player who murdered his ex-wife, and who looks like a stick insect; prisoner number 26 is Wu Ying.

Unexpectedly, the two of them were chosen at the same time tonight. They already had conflicts during the day, and who knows what kind of situation might arise under the high pressure of being chased by the undead prison guards.

The bell rang, signaling the start of outdoor exercise time.

Tang Yunxi met up with Yi Zanglan first, and then they went to find Yan Zhao together. On the way, she couldn't help but discuss this matter with Yi Zanglan.

"Lanlan, do you think Wu Ying will survive?"

"Her personal skill is invisibility," Yi Zanglan said calmly. "As long as you're smart enough to find that key door, surviving won't be difficult."

"Oh……"

Instead of worrying about others, worry about yourself and prepare yourself mentally.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yunxi immediately perked up: "Do we have some big plan for tonight?"

"It's not a big plan," Yi Zanglan replied casually. "You'll find out soon enough."

After saying that, she took the mirror out of her pocket.
