Chapter 227 Substitute Curse
Jiang Lin watched as Tan Zhengyang carefully hid the leaves of the Vislan grass close to his body, and immediately realized that Jiang Yu must be guessing, just like him, that the Vislan grass was the "antidote".
"You're really brave, coming alone!" Tan Zhengyang knew from Jiang Yu that Jiang Lin and Ji Xingyi had already infiltrated the area last night, and one of them had been killed. He didn't expect Jiang Lin to dare to come down alone.
Jiang Lin wanted to ask him another question: "Aren't you afraid either?"
"I'm not alone!" Tan Zhengyang shrugged.
As soon as he finished speaking, the short-haired girl with round, gold-rimmed glasses to Tan Zhengyang's right stood up angrily and started cursing: "You idiot!"
"Lu Xiaoxiao, why are you scolding me!" Tan Zhengyang scratched his head innocently.
The boy on the other bed also got up speechlessly: "We were hiding it so well, and you just exposed us for no reason. Who else is she going to yell at but you!"
The boy's name is Cao Lu, and the three of them are Jiang Yu's teammates.
Cao Lu recognized Jiang Lin as well. He had originally thought that Tan Zhengyang would step forward alone, and if anything went wrong, he would then deal with Lu Xiaoxiao. But Tan Zhengyang, being so single-minded, revealed them all.
Tan Zhengyang waved his hand: "It's nothing! Isn't he Brother Jiang's relative?"
"Jiang Yu said I'm his relative?" Jiang Lin laughed.
Tan Zhengyang: "Isn't he my distant cousin?"
Jiang Lin thought to himself that Jiang Yu really knew how to take advantage of others, and corrected him with a straight face: "That kid Jiang Yu is too embarrassed to say it, I'm his cousin!"
"Really?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously.
Jiang Lin: "If you don't believe me, call him and ask."
Lu Xiaoxiao actually took out her phone, fiddled with it for a bit, and then said dejectedly, "No signal!"
Cao Lu extended an olive branch to Jiang Lin: "Cooperation?"
"Okay." Jiang Lin was a little curious about what these three people were capable of that they dared to sneak into the underground level.
Lu Xiaoxiao took out a piece of paper from her pocket. Jiang Lin looked at it and saw that it was a structural diagram of the basement! It even marked the secret elevator in the staff area!
"The map is drawn very well!" Jiang Lin praised.
"Of course! It's all thanks to Brother Jiang's mother-daughter mirror!" Tan Zhengyang's voice froze as he was met with stares from both sides.
“Jiang Yu said that he can see the perspective of the person carrying the daughter mirror through the mother mirror.” Jiang Lin’s eyes flickered slightly.
Hearing this, Tan Zhengyang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that Jiang Yu had already told Jiang Lin how to use the mother-child mirror, so he didn't hide it anymore: "That's right, Brother Jiang secretly put the child mirror on an ordinary waiter, and when that waiter went down to the basement, we drew this map."
Jiang Lin: "Whose body is Zijing with right now? Can it communicate with Jiang Yu?"
Lu Xiaoxiao was about to warn Tan Zhengyang with her eyes, but the guy just kept talking nonstop like a tap.
Tan Zhengyang: "The mirror is on Xiao Xiao. This thing can only travel one way; he can see us and hear us talking, but he can't communicate with us."
Cao Lu and Lu Xiaoxiao silently facepalmed to themselves: No wonder Tan is such a liar!
Jiang Lin sneered inwardly. Jiang Yu was indeed holding back; the Mother-Child Mirror was definitely not a disposable item!
Jiang Lin looked at Cao Lu: "So now when I call him cousin, Jiang Yu can hear me?"
Lu Xiaoxiao could only give an awkward smile.
In a cabin on the 13th floor of the Noah, Jiang Yu held a palm-sized bronze mirror in his hand, listening to the conversation between Jiang Lin, Tan Zhengyang, and the other two, with three black lines appearing on his forehead.
Tan Zhengyang is such a fool for not keeping his mouth shut, and Cao Lu and Lu Xiaoxiao aren't even as clever!
I'm speechless...
After making sure no one was around, Cao Lu stood at the door and made a hand gesture.
Lu Xiaoxiao placed the needle in the center of the bed, flipped her palm, and a yellow talisman appeared. The short-haired girl stuck the talisman on her pillow.
A puff of smoke rose from the white pillow, which had transformed into Lu Xiaoxiao's stand-in!
Tan Zhengyang: "This is a Substitute Curse, but you can only look at it; it breaks if you touch it. It's ridiculously expensive in the System Supermarket, 30 points each!"
"The Substitute Curse only lasts for 30 minutes, so hurry up, you bastard! Stop talking nonsense!" Lu Xiaoxiao glared at Tan Zhengyang.
Tan Zhengyang walked to the bottom of the ventilation duct and picked up Lu Xiaoxiao. Lu Xiaoxiao opened the valve of the ventilation duct and carefully climbed in with Jiang Yu's mirror.
Jiang Lin lay back on the bed and closed her eyes to rest.
Cao Lu asked curiously, "What is your plan?"
Jiang Lin: "Wait."
Tan Zhengyang: "Waiting for what?"
Cao Lu understood: "Wait for the second stage?"
Tan Zhengyang: "What is the second stage?"
“It might be a deeper mutation.” Jiang Lin said, glancing at Cao Lu, “You two only have one patch of Vislan grass. Aren’t you afraid of getting infected?”
Cao Lu: "Based on our calculations of the plot, it's only a matter of time before the players get infected."
Jiang Lin: "Why?"
Cao Lu did not answer.
Jiang Lin looked at Tan Zhengyang: "Is this confidential?"
Tan Zhengyang shook his head: "Is it because there isn't enough food on the ship?"
Cao Lu was speechless. Seeing that Tan Zhengyang had already spoken, he simply explained, "We sneaked into the warehouse. If our destination really is the Vislan Sea, there won't be enough food. We would starve to death at sea. The only way is to evolve. Infected humans can go a day and a night without eating and won't feel hungry."
"A whole day and night?" Jiang Lin's eyes sharpened. "You captured an NPC who had been injected with blue blood and conducted experiments on him?"
Cao Lu: "..."
Tan Zhengyang looked at Cao Lu with a wronged expression; "This wasn't something I missed, it was all you who told me!"
