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

Sometimes, the rules within the game can be used to your advantage.

When Yi Zanglan discovered that the ghostly prison guards were targeting him and Yan Zhao, he had a sudden inspiration and immediately notified Yan Zhao.

"Let's adjust our plans."

"How do I adjust it?"

"We took turns taking off our prison uniforms."

"..."

Yan Zhao was shocked, but quickly came to his senses.

Qingyang Prison requires inmates to wear prison uniforms and pay attention to their appearance.

The above, like returning to your cell promptly after outdoor exercise, is one of the rules.

If you violate one of the rules, you'll be chased and punished by the undead jailers. What happens if you violate two of them at the same time?

Will prison guards therefore prioritize hunting down players who have committed more serious rule violations?

"I can try it." Having understood this, she decisively began unbuttoning her shirt. "I'll try it first!"

Not wearing prison clothes, not returning to her cell, and having bad luck—these triple debuffs instantly made her a sitting duck for the two undead prison guards.

Not far away was a fork in the road, and Yan Zhao and Yi Zanglan tacitly ran in opposite directions.

As expected, the prison guards prioritized chasing Yan Zhao, completely ignoring Yi Zanglan.

Seeing that he was about to be caught up, Yan Zhao quickly put on his prison uniform. Immediately afterward, Yi Zanglan on the other side took off his prison uniform and shouted.

"Feed—here!!!"

No loud noises are allowed, which is also one of the prison rules.

Surprisingly, the two undead prison guards, as if summoned by some force, turned around in unison and sprinted towards them.

It worked! The plan was flawless.

So for the next period of time, the two took turns taking off their prison uniforms, shouting occasionally to attract attention, and walking the prison guards around like dogs.

They managed to exploit a loophole in the rules.

Tang Yunxi was very cooperative during this time. She drove her small wheelchair around to the back of the prison guard and finally found an opportunity to see him clearly.

Another prison guard's key, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, was serrated and perfectly matched the keyhole of the warden's office.

After confirming the incident, she didn't make a fuss. Instead, she found the right angle and charged straight at the prison guard.

boom!

She felt as if she had crashed into a wall, and the rebound was so strong that she almost overturned.

Even so, she still barely missed him, and at the crucial moment, she reached out and deftly snatched the key from his waist.

"Lanlan, Zhaozhao, I got it!"

Upon receiving the news, Yi Zanglan and Yan Zhao immediately put on prison clothes while Yan Zhao took them off, providing Tang Yunxi with an opportunity to pick up the person.

Tang Yunxi sped off, first picking up Yan Zhao, and then, after Yi Zanglan had taken a detour to distract the prison guards, he turned onto the only road to pick up Yi Zanglan.

The three of them were still in the same wheelchair, rushing to the second floor without stopping. Soon after, they found Wu Ying at the junction of the second and third floors.

"Hey? Wu Ying's over there!"

Wu Ying's invisibility skill had obviously failed, and she was currently being chased by two other prison guards.

The situation was urgent, and she didn't have time to see the three people before suddenly turning in the opposite direction.

Yi Zanglan calmly asked, "Is there any hope of surpassing the prison guards' speed?"

Tang Yunxi nodded: "Pretty much, I can speed it up even more."

"Then go after her."

"Alright, you two better hold on tight!"

In the blink of an eye, Tang Yunxi accelerated his wheelchair to its limit, buzzing as he overtook two prison guards in succession, and then directly lifted Wu Ying up.

Wu Ying, who was inexplicably shoveled away: "...?"

She lost her balance and fell backward into Tang Yunxi's arms, where Yi Zanglan and Yan Zhao supported her arms on either side, making her look like a female eagle about to take flight.

"...Could you three at least say hello next time?"

"We don't have time to say hello!" Yi Zanglan said. "Koi Baby's wheelchair is almost out of service, we need to hurry."

Tang Yunxi protested, "Don't call me that awful nickname!"

Wu Ying hurriedly confirmed, "Did you get the key?"

"Got it." Yi Zanglan then asked Tang Yunxi, "How much longer can you drive your wheelchair?"

"About ten minutes."

"Let's send them back to their cells first, then we'll go back to the second floor."

"no problem!"

Tang Yunxi, with four people in her car, like a delivery girl rushing to deliver goods, took turns throwing Wu Ying and Yan Zhao into the designated cells, and then sped off to the second floor.

"Lanlan, we can only officially take action tomorrow night, right?"

"Well, barring any unforeseen circumstances, tomorrow night will be our last night." Yi Zanglan thought for a moment, then added, "Of course, based on the current number of survivors, I guess I'll be the first one chosen for interrogation tomorrow night."

Tang Yunxi immediately became alert: "That's right, you'll most likely be going tomorrow night! But what if we can't break through that wall and leave Zhaozhao and me outside?"

"You don't need to worry about me."

"what?"

"You don't need to worry about me." Yi Zanglan repeated patiently, "You have the key. You and Yan Zhao go to open the office door tomorrow night, and I'll meet up with you soon."

Tang Yunxi hesitated, wanting to ask a few more questions, but they had already arrived at cell number 12.

She could only watch as Yi Zanglan nimbly jumped off the wheelchair, and before being struck by the chains of the undead prison guards, he rolled and disappeared into the cell door.

* * * * * *

By the fourth day, only twelve players remained alive in this round.

Anyone capable of completing the task, whether it's a main quest or a side quest, should have their progress bar full by now.

So tonight is the best time to clear the game.

Leaving aside the daytime and nighttime processes, it's clear that the players are polarized – some are unusually anxious and reckless, while others are deliberately letting the game slide.

Players who have already fulfilled the mission requirements, without affecting themselves, naturally have no need to plunder the lives of others.

……

[System notification: Prisoners number 9, 12, and 29 will be interrogated tonight.]

As expected, it was Yi Zanglan's turn tonight.

Tang Yunxi originally planned to claim that she was also guilty before the prison guards took Yi Zanglan away, and then go to the interrogation room with them.

Unfortunately, this terrible idea was rejected by Yi Zanglan, who said it was too foolish.

How could that be so foolish!

In fact, Yi Zanglan thought about it afterward. Although the mortality rate was high during nighttime interrogations, it did not necessarily constitute a forced killing.

Even without external help, players themselves will surely find a way to break the deadlock.

Furthermore, besides outrunning the prison guards and waiting for the exit gate to open, there is a high probability that there is another shortcut.

Yan Zhao didn't have time to check the interrogation room that night, and went straight into the corridor after the lights were turned off, so he may have missed the clue; he definitely didn't look for Wu Ying the night before either.

Therefore, Yi Zanglan decided to search carefully tonight.

And that's exactly what she did.

Player No. 9, who was also interrogated, was the chubby, good-natured guy who had studied with them the day before; Player No. 29 was also a male player with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a square face, who looked very strong.

The two stood aside with strange expressions, watching Yi Zanglan turn the interrogation room upside down and carefully examine every instrument of torture.

Player #9 couldn't help but ask, "What...what are you looking for?"

"Oh, found it."

A nail board stood in the corner, its top seemingly cracked. Yi Zanglan pried it open along the crack and finally found what she wanted from the interlayer.

It was a stamped record; all that was needed was to fill in the name to prove that the prisoner's interrogation had been completed.

...That's the shortcut.

The prisoner who receives this statement will escape tonight's interrogation.

Yi Zanglan picked up a pen that had fallen from the ground, flicked it casually, and was about to fill in her name.

The next second, she suddenly looked up and saw that numbers 9 and 29 were already standing in front of her.

Number 29 stared intently at the paper in her hand and spoke in a cold voice.

"Found something good? Everyone gets a share."
