“Last week, ten people entered game number 21 and only one came out alive, the one wearing white gloves. Even though this time the person wearing white gloves is not the same as the last time, we can’t let our guard down because of this.”
Shen Mo looked at them and continued to ask:
“Should we accept them and enter the game together, or reject them and evacuate from here?”
Yu Yaqing deeply furrowed her eyebrows.
Yan Qingwen leaned against the table, silently contemplating.
Bai Youwei observed the changes on their faces and said, “Let me share my thoughts first.
My suggestion is to reject. In the game, dealing with the Inspector’s tricks and the rules’ whimsy is already mentally draining. If we add a teammate whose allegiances are uncertain, the risk is too high and accidents are likely.”
Shen Mo glanced at her, “Let me share my thoughts too.
My suggestion is to accept. Now, everyone in the base knows that we are one person short of the required number of players for the game. Since we have finally gathered enough people, there’s no reason to give up when the time comes. If we retreat, those who don’t know the reasons might think we are chickening out, which would negatively affect the morale of the whole base.
Furthermore, we will always encounter all kinds of people with ulterior motives in the game. Their tools are hidden in the dark, making them unpredictable. But this white-gloved person is visible to us, which can serve as a reminder.”
Yan Qingwen burst into laughter, looking at the two of them, “So, how should we choose? Both of you hold opposing views. No matter which side we choose, we will offend the other.”
Yu Yaqing also chuckled, and calmly answered, “I choose to accept. I think Shen Mo made a good point. We will always meet people with hidden intentions, and there will always be white-gloved people; we can’t retreat every time we encounter one.
Among the 24 games around the base, this is the only game we haven’t cracked. Whether it’s white gloves or black gloves, I want to give it a try.”
Bai Youwei curled her lips, glared at Shen Mo, and said nothing.
After pondering for a long time, Yan Qingwen finally said, “I also choose to accept. I will warn Lun Ang to be cautious of him.”
He looked up at Shen Mo, “But I can only rely on you for Shen Fei, that kid seems to trust him a lot.”
“Hmm, I will handle it,” Shen Mo nodded lightly.
Bai Youwei asked resentfully, “If we fall into the water together after entering the game, whom will you save?”
Shen Mo patted her head and said, “Stop messing around.”
Bai Youwei continued resentfully, “Is Fei indispensable? I don’t think he’s reliable at all. It would be better to bring Xiaoxin instead.”
Shen Mo helplessly smiled and said, “Don’t be prejudiced against him. Shen Fei has participated in two games, he’s good, and not as unreliable as you think.”
Bai Youwei closed her eyes and sighed, “Okay, let it be.”
Shen Mo looked at her and then turned to Yan Qingwen and Yu Yaqing.
Both of them nodded at him, indicating their decision was final. Shen Mo walked to the door, reached out, and opened it.
The people outside were still waiting for their decision, some already showing impatience.
Shen Fei anxiously asked, “Have you made a decision? Can I go? Bro! My dad has given his approval, there’s no reason for you to stop me!”
Shen Mo didn’t answer him. His gaze drifted over Shen Fei’s face eventually landing on the crowd.
“If none of you have objections, you can all go prepare now. We will meet at the entrance of game number 21 at nine o’clock tomorrow. I hope all of you will be there.”
