Bai Youwei's face immediately changed.
She glared fiercely at the Inspector: "What's outside?!"
"What else could there be here besides flowers?" The Inspector smiled faintly, not answering her question.
Bai Youwei bit her lower lip, her eyes turning sinister as she looked at the other three. "If anything happens to my brother, none of you will survive! I can't kill the Inspector, but I have plenty of ways to kill you lot!"
"We didn't write that card!" Wu Lili urgently pointed at Zhu Xiaofen beside her. "She wrote it! It has nothing to do with us. If you want to blame someone, blame her!"
"Haven't you heard of the term 'venting your anger'?" The corner of Bai Youwei's mouth curled up, her eyes as cold as ice. "But don't worry, I won't survive either. We'll all be buried with my brother!"
"What's wrong with you?! Are you crazy?!" Wu Lili was both angry and anxious. "Lunatic!!!"
"Enough!" Zhang Qi said irritably. "Follow the rules first! As long as the remaining black cards are okay, there's still an 80% chance!"
For some reason, a flicker of panic flashed across Wu Lili's eyes. "Then… then what if something is wrong?"
Zhang Qi froze, then flew into a rage. "You didn't write what you were supposed to?! What the hell did you write?!"
Wu Lili's tears flowed even harder as she cried out, "I didn't… I followed the instructions, but maybe, maybe she and her brother didn't write what they were supposed to!"
Zhang Qi no longer believed her. "Did you follow the instructions or not?"
"Yes, I did, really… really…" Wu Lili cried and nodded vigorously.
"You better have!" Zhang Qi said menacingly. "Otherwise, even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"
Wu Lili, terrified, covered her face and continued to weep.
At this moment, the roars and fighting sounds from outside grew louder, the heavy impacts making their hearts pound. Even without seeing what was happening, they could sense the intensity of the battle.
Bai Youwei's heart tightened.
She believed Shen Mo would be fine, but her heart was pounding uncontrollably.
She and Shen Mo had puzzle pieces. As long as they used the puzzle's exemption right, they could immediately leave the game.
But now, the commotion outside was only growing, clearly indicating that Shen Mo had given up on using the puzzle piece. He was fighting something…
While she was anxiously worrying, a pink shadow suddenly crashed inside!
Thump!
The thing fell in the middle of the dance floor, knocking over several mannequins!
Bai Youwei suddenly felt the surroundings become very noisy. Although the mannequins hadn't moved, their voices were like invisible ghosts, their light and ethereal chatter filling the air, ceaselessly—
"He did it! He did it!"
"He completed the dare!…"
"Look, he killed his friend's man-eating flower!…"
"He really did it…"
The Inspector raised his hands and clapped lightly, and the voices disappeared like receding tidewater.
Shen Mo walked in from outside.
His eyes were dark and calm. His T-shirt was torn, his arm was stained with blood, and his hair was damp with sweat, making him look a little disheveled—despite this, he didn't appear the least bit embarrassed, but rather carried the imposing air of a returning victor.
He walked in with steady steps, picked up the slightly twitching thing from the dance floor, and casually tossed it in front of Zhu Xiaofen.
"The flower you wanted," Shen Mo said indifferently.
It was a flower as thick as an elephant's trunk, with a dark green stem and a pink bud, exactly like the ones they had seen in the courtyard.
Now the bud was half-open, like a crumpled quilt, revealing layers of dense teeth and oozing light green mucus.
Zhu Xiaofen couldn't even make a sound, only desperately pulling her legs back and crying, fearing that the man-eating flower would suddenly jump up and bite her the next second it twitched!
Shen Mo had already returned to his seat.
