"Why do you blame me for what you stole?! Do you know that lying can get you killed?! It must have been you!"

"What did you say? I stole it, and you're spitting blood at me?"

The noise reached his eardrums, Xiao Huai's eyelids trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyelids.

Following a loud whistle, the locomotive also let out a long, mournful howl.

The train continued to move forward, the carriage swayed slightly, and cold wind blew into the carriage through the windows.

The cold wind was howling, and a snowflake was picked up and fell on Xiao Huai's neck.

For a moment, the extremely low temperature caused his body to tremble slightly.

He couldn't help but shudder, but then he heard a man's magnetic, low and pleasant voice.

"You finally woke up. Everyone thought you were dead."

Xiao Huai looked up in the direction of the voice and was dazed for a moment.

That face, so good-looking, seems a little bit unbelievable.

It seems like a masterpiece carved by God himself. No matter how many words are used to describe it, it cannot compare to the stunning moment of seeing it with your own eyes.

The man looked at him with a faint smile. His dark eyes were deep and mysterious under his thick black eyelashes. There was a tiny mole on the bridge of his nose, shining like a star in the night sky.

Her facial features are delicate and her skin is as white as jade, exuding an innate aura of nobility.

it's beautiful.

But this kind of beauty has nothing to do with gender. It is the beauty that makes the eyes subconsciously want to linger longer, and it is also the beauty that the soul yearns for deep down.

Xiao Huai looked away. He had been staring at others just now, which was quite embarrassing.

The man stretched out his hand to him, "Lu Yuanshi, a gamer."

Xiao Huai frowned and didn't hold his hand, but answered him: "Xiao Huai."

Unlike Hui Yulian, Lu Yuanshi did not take his hand back directly. He just grabbed Xiao Huai's hand and squeezed it tightly.

Xiao Huai frowned. Lu Yuanshi held his hand too tightly. He wanted to break free, but he didn't have the strength.

He didn't let go until it turned a little red.

Xiao Huai pulled his hand back in pain, and impatiently moved to the side to keep a greater distance from him.

"Finally woke up? Damn, I thought I'd have to listen to these NPCs bickering all afternoon. My ears are almost hurting."

He was a tall man in his thirties with a Guangdong accent, a stocky build and brown skin.

"Mom, it's so cold, I want to go home..." A girl in a short-sleeved shirt sat in the front row. She was so cold that she kept rubbing her arms and her lips turned pale.

Xiao Huai looked ahead and saw two people arguing, a man and a woman. The man had brown hair and the woman had blonde hair.

They looked like foreigners, but they were arguing in fluent Chinese.

According to the brown-skinned man, the two of them should be NPCs.

Xiao Huai did not rest in the standby world for seven days. He only rested for five days before coming to the second-level game hall.

There are many different games in the second-level game lobby, and players will choose games based on the clues they have.

Generally speaking, the more clues you have, the more confident you will be.

Being able to reach the second floor proves that you are not a novice. Although the players here still have expressions of fear, compared to the players on the first floor, there is less confusion in their eyes.

Xiao Huai came to the nebula of "Diamond Tycoon" and the system interface showed that the team was gathering.

"Diamond Tycoon" is a new game copy that has been online for no more than a week.

Xiao Huai recalled the clue Loki gave him - beauty is justice.

It's better to have a clue than nothing. Since Loki gave him the clue and left that message, he probably won't be able to escape.

So he chose the game "Diamond Tycoon" without much hesitation.

There are only seven players in Diamond Tycoon, and Xiao Huai is the last one to wake up.

The brown-skinned man said to Xiao Huai, "Handsome boy, see if your system mall can be used. That girl is almost freezing to death."

Xiao Huai nodded, but found that his system mall was locked and he could not buy anything.

"Mine won't work," he replied.

The brown-skinned man sighed after hearing this. "What kind of dungeon is this? Even a newly launched dungeon can't have bugs. It's freezing in this snowy place, the windows can't be closed, and you can't get out of the carriage. They're going to freeze to death right here."

Xiao Huai asked, "How long have they been arguing?"

"They've been making noises since I woke up. I was the first one to wake up, so it must have been almost half an hour." The brown-skinned man replied.

"The plot." Xiao Huai lazily closed his eyes and leaned his head against the back of the chair. "They are following the plot, the plot before the game starts. Now that I'm awake, the players have successfully assembled, and the NPCs will soon come out to assign tasks."

The brown-skinned man was slightly stunned. Just when he was about to say something, the door that had been unable to be opened was suddenly pushed open, and a woman with short red hair and a black beret appeared in front of everyone.

Like the other two NPCs, she has rather Western facial features.

"Good heavens, the criminal hasn't been found yet?"

The red-haired woman's tone was filled with resentment. She turned to look at the players and said, "Why are you still standing there? The Count didn't ask you to come here to watch the show. If you can't find the rough diamond, you won't get any good results. Or, do you want to use your own corpses to fill the gap?"

"Ding, limited-time mission begins: Find the stolen rough diamonds. Time limit: one hour."

The mechanical female voice's prompt sounded throughout the entire carriage.

"Penalty for failure: Death"

When the system announced the punishment, all the players widened their eyes in disbelief, wondering if they had heard it wrong.

Even the girl who had just been complaining about being cold let out a cry of national quintessence.

Was this still the second-tier dungeon they knew? Why was there a timed mission right from the start, and the penalty was death?

When the system voice ended, the red-haired woman raised the corner of her mouth in a strange arc.

Her gaze fell on Xiao Huai and Lu Yuanshi, and she raised her eyebrows slightly. "It seems that the Earl has hired two pretty good-looking temporary workers this time. I hope you are not the diamond thief. I will give you one hour. If you can't find the rough diamond in one hour, haha, you will never see the Earl alive."

As soon as she finished speaking, the countdown began and the red-haired woman left the carriage. In order to prevent the murderer from escaping, she locked the carriage again.

The carriage became very quiet for a moment.

Until a girl who looked like a student started crying, "I don't want to die. Who is the criminal? The mission can't be so difficult. Finding the criminal in an hour is impossible."

The brown-skinned man cursed inwardly: "What the hell? Could the murderer be one of those two NPCs?"

Identify the murderer first, otherwise, everyone will probably be dead in an hour.

Xiao Huai laughed out loud at this moment. The brown-skinned man couldn't help but look at him: "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you for not knowing how to read the questions." Xiao Huai called up the system interface, "Limited-time task: find the stolen diamonds."

He casually said, "Both the system and she want only rough diamonds. The red-haired woman mentioned a hidden condition: 'Fill the gap with a corpse.' So, as long as you kill one of us before the mission ends, you can still pass the level."

The train entered the tunnel, and the faint light in the carriage fell into his dark red eyes, flashing with a bit of evil charm.
