Don't pretend, everyone knows you're the villain!

Xi Mingzhu frowned as she recalled Chen Yuan, who could barely understand what she was saying.

"If he doesn't take his clothes off, and I don't take mine off, how long am I supposed to wait?"

"Brother, just bring the person over and I'll take care of it," Lu Tiannan said casually.

Xi Mingzhu calmly asked, "You can strip me, but I can't?"

"Ha...nothing like that." Lu Tiannan obediently followed Xi Mingzhu back to the office, which had a private room and casual clothes.

After Lu Tiannan changed into the prison uniform, he was completely transformed, looking like a completely different person.

Lu Tiannan sat on the sofa, lazily leaving the top button of his shirt undone.

"Brother, why did you give yourself such an identity? It's a deliberate attempt to sow discord; you have ulterior motives."

"Where there is conflict, there will be slaughter." Xi Mingzhu understood this principle as soon as he got the ID card, and Lu Tiannan understood the result as soon as he saw the pass.

If, in the end, leaving the instance requires the help of the warden, Xi Mingzhu will be pushed to the brink of conflict by his opposing role to the player.

Lu Tiannan spoke languidly, as if he didn't care at all.

"Whoever comes to kill, I'll be here, no need to worry."

"If you don't kill me, I'll be trapped here. What will you do then?" Based on the changes in the plot that he had encountered over the past few days, Xi Mingzhu had come to understand that the purpose of these changes was to eliminate him, this variable.

"Of course I'll stay and keep my brother company." Lu Tiannan hugged Xi Mingzhu and snuggled against him.

"Losing and having, this kind of choice is not difficult for me at all."

Yes, for Lu Tiannan, the choice between leaving and staying is not a simple matter.

There is a bond between them, but Xi Mingzhu has no bond with the other players.

That's what makes this dungeon so disgusting.

Xi Mingzhu's silence made Lu Tiannan realize something was wrong.

"My brother encountered other players before me? They attacked him?" Xi Mingzhu clearly heard the sinister and violent undertone in Lu Tiannan's voice.

"No." Xi Mingzhu remembered the face of the person who fired that shot.

He could certainly resolve the issue quickly using his authority, but that wasn't the ultimate goal. He wanted to take Lu Tiannan away from here, not trap him in this situation.

It seems that starting from the fourth level, the purpose of the dungeon is no longer to eliminate players, but to retain them.

Trapping players in dungeons, with no time limit of confinement, also means death in the outside world.

"I hope my brother hasn't been hiding anything from me."

Lu Tiannan got up and looked out the window. Downstairs were prisoners moving around freely.

Freedom, even when confined by iron cages, is a precious moment for the prisoners.

As they watched, a riot broke out, and the fight between the two people escalated into a fight between two factions.

People like to form cliques wherever they go, and this is true both in the outside world and in prison.

Xi Mingzhu sat at his desk, reviewing information about the copy. Most of it was information about Lu Tiannan's identity.

"Brother, they're fighting, and it's women." Lu Tiannan didn't find it interesting; in fact, he found it boring.

It's not a good look to see prisoners beaten to this state. Lacking the will to kill, they are simply yearning for the submission of others.

uninteresting.

Xi Mingzhu heard Lu Tiannan's words, but he didn't care about fighting; it wasn't necessary.

"Nan Nan, your identity is a bit special."

"A serious criminal? Or a special criminal?" Being confined to a separate dungeon is a truly rare privilege.

Ordinary criminals certainly don't qualify.

"Neither. You used to be a police officer, and you were imprisoned in the dungeon for leaking classified information."

Lu Tiannan walked towards the desk with interest. "Confidential?"

He leaned his arm against Xi Mingzhu's side and looked at the documents in the other person's hand.

His identity is clear; he is a police officer.

What classified documents could an ordinary police officer possibly have access to? That's a ridiculous excuse.

"Brother, I've been framed." Lu Tiannan tilted his head and leaned close to Xi Mingzhu's ear.

"The reasons given in the document are too vague. Could this involve high-ranking officials, such as the warden?"

"If my brother needs to kill me..."

Xi Mingzhu placed her index finger to Lu Tiannan's lips, her eyes firm and calm.

"Don't talk nonsense, there are no 'what ifs'."

Does a conflict of identities inevitably lead to a dead end? If we disregard identities, is there no chance of leaving if the storyline remains intact?

Was such a blatant act of bestowing an identity solely to push him toward his death?

We still need more clues.

Lu Tiannan curled his lips into a smile.

"I knew my brother wouldn't kill me."

The riots caused by Lu Tiannan's prison break were quelled under Xi Mingzhu's strong pressure.

This type of prison lacks extensive surveillance and its facilities are inadequate.

Lu Tiannan, who was following Xi Mingzhu, walked openly and honestly, humming a little tune.

No one questioned his identity, simply because the warden was by his side.

Xi Mingzhu could tell that Lu Tiannan was in a good mood. "What are you grinning about?"

Lu Tiannan said softly with a smile.

"Because of my brother's authority, no one will dare to disturb us at night."

"We're in a dungeon now," Xi Mingzhu reminded him, frowning.

"Brother, I'm infiltrating the warden's circle as a player, so I should try to get some benefits out of it."

Lu Tiannan suddenly took Xi Mingzhu's earlobe into his mouth.

Unfortunately, three people walked towards us in the corridor.

Upon seeing this scene, the three people exclaimed, "Oh no, I left something behind!"

"I go with you!"

"I am coming too!!"

They immediately fled in panic.

"Well-trained, runs pretty fast." Lu Tiannan released his lips and chuckled.

Xi Mingzhu didn't think Lu Tiannan was just messing around here, timing his actions to coincide with the arrival of other NPCs.

"What are you going to do?"

Lu Tiannan smiled and replied, "Let's verify the warden's authority."

"Hmm." Rather than verifying authority, Xi Mingzhu believed that Lu Tiannan was judging the warden's interpersonal relationships and hobbies by observing the expressions of other NPCs.

Clearly, this kind of thing is commonplace in prisons, even among wardens.

"Brother, you're daydreaming... Don't you believe me?" Lu Tiannan pinned Xi Mingzhu against the wall, touching his waist.

He lowered his head and placed kiss after kiss on her neck, leaving behind intimate traces.

Xi Mingzhu knew that Lu Tiannan had done this on purpose; this was a monitored area. These actions, once recorded, would inevitably leave evidence against him.

Unfortunately, nothing happened for the rest of the time.

Training continued as usual in the prison, with only one or two fights occurring occasionally. These were usually between inmates in solitary confinement or those sent to the infirmary.

We didn't find many clues during the day, but we've already encountered several players.

The player's hostility toward the warden is more pronounced than that toward the other prisoners.

Over the course of several nights, the number of mosaics covering Xi Mingzhu's body visibly increased.

"The warden is the emperor of this prison; no one dares to challenge him," Lu Tiannan casually remarked as he massaged Xi Mingzhu's lower back.

Xi Mingzhu leaned against Lu Tiannan's chest with her eyes closed. "The secret you leaked must be related to the warden."

"Brother, are you waiting for me in the office today? I'm going out to have some fun." Lu Tiannan was asking for his opinion.

Xi Mingzhu knew that Lu Tiannan had been following her closely these past few days, and was indeed being watched too closely by others. If this continued, the information they obtained would be too limited.

"it is good."
