Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!

Chapter 2450: Lies

Yang Tian did not answer Bubble Bean’s question, but instead asked, "Who brought me back?""It was me," the Big Man said. "When I found you, you were poisoned, wrapped up like a chicken roll by mutant plants. If it weren’t for me, you’d be dead."

"But your leg..." He looked downward. Yang Tian had been sitting on the army cot, his leg really couldn’t move. "Maybe the poison was too deep. I’m not good at this stuff. I gave you a bottle of WD306 antitoxin, but it didn’t help much."

The Big Man reached over and patted Chi Cai in front of him, "This guy gave you another injection so you could wake up."

Yang Tian’s gaze wandered over their faces and then to the others. He was sitting alone while others were standing or sitting, but all their gazes were on him, surrounding him as if in a fearful standoff. He was tense, his teeth clenching audibly...

A beautiful face suddenly appeared in front of him, the Girl in the painting leaned in close, waving her hand in front of his eyes and asked, "Did you go stupid?"

Yang Tian instantly broke free from the predicament. He looked toward Xu Huo sitting at the back, seeming to want an answer from his mouth.

Xu Huo nodded at him, "Indeed, they saved you. If You Daqian wanted to harm you, he wouldn’t have brought you back. As for Chi Cai injecting the antitoxin, all of us saw it. They did save you."

Only then did Yang Tian relax, unconsciously placing his hand on his leg, expressing gratitude to the Big Man and Chi Cai, and then he talked about his encounter when returning to the village.

He got lost, but this kind of losing his way was different from the previous aimless searching for the village. He felt stuck in one place, originally wanting to hack through trees to find a path, but before achieving any effect, he suddenly lost consciousness and woke up back in the village.

"You don’t even know how you got poisoned?" The Yin Yang Master slightly raised his tone, almost writing "useless" on his face.

"I’m confused too," Yang Tian said. "If I knew, I wouldn’t have been poisoned, waiting to die in the forest."

"Did no one call you?" The green-haired female player asked, "Your state seems like you’ve been found by the Hidden Friend."

Yang Tian shook his head, "I didn’t see a shadow during the day."

The people present subtly exchanged glances. Bubble Bean said, "It’s fortunate enough to survive. As for the leg, think of a solution. It’s getting late; rest a bit to avoid not being able to open your eyes tomorrow evening."

Then Yang Tian kept trying the antitoxin, but it had minimal effect.

The Girl in the painting seemed better off than the others, watched some cartoons, and then asked Xu Huo for something to eat. Xu Huo took tools and ingredients out of the backpack, letting her cook for herself.

As she imitated grilling meat from the cartoons, she typed on the communicator, "That person lied, should we beat him until he tells the truth?"

Xu Huo shook his head slightly. Yang Tian hadn’t told the truth, and everyone present could see it, but he refused to speak, and the others couldn’t force him unless someone could control him instantly. Previously blocked by the Big Man and Chi Cai, the others couldn’t control him, and now it was even less likely.

As for what he was hiding, seeing how he ended up like this, it probably wasn’t anything important. And if he became an actor, being unable to move, he posed no threat to the others.

"Why hide?" Bubble Bean was secretly talking to the green-haired female player.

The middle-aged man and Yang Tian didn’t need to hide anything. If they truly encountered the "Hidden Friend," having escaped once, they should have cooperated with the others, what was the benefit of hiding? Could it be that after being attacked by the Hidden Friend, they turned into actors?

"...Is that even possible?" A thoughtless comment caused several people to pause simultaneously.

"The possibility is very small," the green-haired female player interrupted their speculation, "if it were true, why would he leave in the middle of the night?"

If the middle-aged man were an actor, he should have targeted the other players instead of distancing himself immediately upon return. Besides, he looked alert when he left, but who knows for sure?

"I think he was trying to run away but failed." The Yin Yang Master said, "When he returned during the day, I could tell he probably couldn’t leave and had to return to the village, which is why he came back later than everyone else."

"In that case, Yang Tian’s situation must be similar; they both got lost first." The eyebrow-pierced man said.

"Is this random attacks, or have they been targeted by the Hidden Friend for some reason?" The player with a missing ear questioned the eyebrow-pierced man on the communicator, "You two came together, did you kill someone? Or do something else?"

The eyebrow-pierced man didn’t look well, "We just bumped into each other. We’re not close, you should ask Yang Tian that."

The player with a missing ear really did go to ask Yang Tian.

"No, I haven’t killed anyone since entering the instance, but I’ve been attacked several times and almost died," Yang Tian said. "I only survived after being chased into the village."

The chasing scene by the eyebrow-pierced man and the middle-aged man was witnessed by Xu Huo and Bubble Bean, and if it weren’t for Xu Huo and the Girl in the painting, he’d probably be dead.

"Why did you chase him?" The Missing Ear turned back to ask the eyebrow-pierced man.

The eyebrow-pierced man frowned, "Why else? Seeing a figure in the woods, wouldn’t you first suspect it’s the Hidden Friend? He said he wasn’t, but would you believe him?"

This led to a dead end. Since no one could swiftly control others, in a balanced situation, peace couldn’t be temporarily achieved, they had to first resolve the confrontation. Two against one, the eyebrow-pierced man and his companion had the advantage, so wanting to control him wasn’t unreasonable.

Yang Tian kept emphasizing that he wasn’t an actor and believed that the attack by the eyebrow-pierced man and his companion on him wasn’t much related to whether he was an actor. Just because of the difference in strength, the eyebrow-pierced man and his companion took advantage.

There was no need to continue the conversation from here.

Players didn’t just lack mutual trust and cooperation; even what they said was half-truths.

"Asking so much is wasted effort." The Yin Yang Master stood up and said, "Anyway, there’s plenty of time left in the instance, I don’t believe that everyone staying together can still be a problem, whether there’s an actor, who the actor is, those wanting to clear the instance will eventually slip up!"

This was their only current way to break the situation.

"Whatever, anyway I can’t move my legs, I can’t go anywhere." Yang Tian looked around at everyone, then smiled, raising a hand to reveal a black metal bead, "Spatial Interference Device."

He said this, slitting his wrist, inserting the Interference Device, and stitching the wound with a needle:

"Since we’ve reached a consensus, none of us will use spatial teleportation props to leave."
