Chapter 386 Jealousy
"Are you jealous?" Yan Xun replied subconsciously.
He had expected Li Wu to joke, "Yeah, I'm jealous," but Li Wu didn't say anything. Instead, he changed the subject, saying, "According to your guess, Lou Yanchuan is indeed suspicious."
The beauty of joking is that if the other person responds in kind, you won't feel awkward. But if they suddenly change the subject—
Yan Xun didn't know about others, but he himself was already feeling quite uneasy.
He couldn't tell if it was because Li Wu was rather serious and didn't like these kinds of jokes, or if he was just allergic to this kind of topic.
Although Yan Xun is good at solving problems and deciphering secrets, he is really slow to react to this kind of topic, otherwise he wouldn't be occasionally confused in the "sister-in-law" scenario.
He couldn't resist and opened the live stream to see what the comments were saying—
[How dare you! How dare you, Li Wu, be so jealous and put His Majesty in such a difficult position!]
[Your Majesty, you mustn't indulge his temper. Heh, I think this kind of person needs to be ignored.]
[…Seriously, what's wrong with you guys? Can't we just be good buddies? I can't stand this livestream anymore, the streamer's leading the charge in promoting bromance.]
If you can't stand it, then get out!
[Consort Li is usually very proper and generous, but she has lost her composure at this moment (shakes head). I think this person is ambitious and has big plans!]
[Our Emperor was born to be an emperor with a vast harem. I think little Li Wu shouldn't be jealous. I think Gu Jia is very clever; he quietly competes and knows how to play the victim. That's why His Majesty went to see him immediately this time.]
Yan Xun: ...
Forget it, there's nothing to say to the people in this live stream.
He stopped watching the live stream and looked at Li Wu, then continued, following his lead, "You also think Lou Yanchuan took on a different mission?"
“When he instructed you to kill Master Gao, I had some suspicions.” Li Wu didn’t mind Yan Xun continuing the conversation along the lines he had changed. “His identity is indeed different from ours.”
"He was the only one who voluntarily entered the Gao family."
“I’ll find a chance to go and take a look at that black bear man’s yard,” he said to Yan Xun.
Seeing that Yan Xun seemed to be deep in thought, he kindly asked, "What are you thinking about?"
“I still feel like something’s not right,” Yan Xun said.
Among the current dungeon players, he wasn't very familiar with Chi Yuan and couldn't make an accurate judgment about him.
Sun Zhao is upright and honest, Gao Wen is cunning, and although Gu Jia is not talkative, if you ask who he trusts the most among these people, it would definitely be Gu Jia.
Although Yan Xun wasn't too wary of Li Wu, the other party was, after all, the vice president of the Retrospection Guild—he wasn't a member of Retrospection, so from some perspectives, their interests weren't aligned.
Lou Yanchuan is another story altogether. He has the most suspicious points and acts in a somewhat shady and unconventional way. In addition, he often does things that are misunderstood in this instance. Currently, he is the person Yan Xun trusts the least.
But sometimes, he needed someone to talk to... After thinking it over, Yan Xun finally decided to be direct.
He looked at Li Wu earnestly and asked, "Can I trust you?"
Upon hearing his words, Li Wu simply drank the hot tea that Yan Xun had poured for him earlier in one gulp—even though it was now somewhat cold.
He put down his teacup. "Of course you can trust me."
"As for the president..."
"I don't know what he's thinking."
"Why are they being so distant?" Yan Xun wondered, but since Li Wu said so, he nodded and said, "That's fine then."
"I suspect this situation is similar to the previous Wusheng Village instance."
“Here.” He tapped the table. “The scenes in the Gao family’s area are all very realistic, only the Black Bear Man’s yard is a bit off.”
“Everything there is new, it doesn’t feel like they spent too much money on set design.” Yan Xun thought of the two new mobile phones and the Polaroid camera behind them, “It seems like we often hang out together.”
He was referring to the four of them in the Polaroid photo.
Li Wu waited quietly for him to speak, "So you think that something unexpected happened when we went out together this time?"
He understood what Yan Xun meant. "You suspect that we accidentally wandered into a haunted house in the countryside while traveling? And got trapped in a hallucination?"
“I don’t think so,” Yan Xun said.
If they accidentally stumbled upon a haunted house in the countryside, there's no way to explain the cheap props in the Black Bear Man's yard.
"In the Polaroid photo, it looks like we're in an amusement park," Yan Xun said cautiously. This was just his guess, not entirely certain. "I suspect... we might be in some haunted house?"
"Or perhaps it's in a room like an escape room or a murder mystery game."
"We might have just come here to play a murder mystery game. The theme of this game is the secret of the Gao family. In this murder mystery game, our roles are the concubines of Master Gao."
For some reason, they ended up entering the real Gao family home.
