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

Lu Tiannan had the warden's pass, and the other guards turned a blind eye to him. It seemed that the news that Lu Tiannan was also a guard had spread through the scattered rumors over the past few days.

That makes sense; it's impossible for a prisoner who escaped from the dungeon and was being interrogated to simply disappear. The fact that a new favorite had emerged around the warden perfectly matches this description.

With a little effort and a bit of thinking, you can connect the dots.

Besides, many officers had already seen Lu Tiannan's face, and the officers who interrogated him also recognized him. There were also quite a few officers who hadn't seen him before, but the news would pass by quietly.

There are no absolute secrets.

Logically speaking, the police officers who had worked with him before should have at least spoken to him, but Lu Tiannan didn't get a single word from them along the way; they all avoided him like the plague.

Trying to get information out of the police officers through soft tactics won't work, so let's start with the players. We've found quite a few, and there's bound to be one or two that will be useful.

Lu Tiannan strolled leisurely to the A-section prison cell.

Both A69 and A93 are players; this is a fact that Lu Tiannan is completely certain of.

His hostile gaze toward the warden was too obvious, and he unknowingly revealed his murderous intent and wariness.

Fortunately, the two players were quite far apart.

Lu Tiannan went in and dealt with them one by one without much trouble.

When A69 saw Lu Tiannan being led into the cell by the police officers and specifically asked to see him, he looked at Lu Tiannan with great vigilance.

With the police officers distracted, Lu Tiannan glanced sideways at the other NPC prisoners, who were trembling like quails, showing little interest.

Before Lu Tiannan could speak, A69 rushed forward with a knife in hand.

"Why is there a knife? Where is it hidden?" Lu Tiannan feigned surprise and backed away to dodge.

The male player completely ignored Lu Tiannan, and with a swift turn of his blade, continued charging straight at Lu Tiannan.

"With so many body searches, how did you manage to evade them and bring a knife into prison, A69?"

A69 scoffed dismissively, "Too much nonsense."

Lu Tiannan smiled with amusement, "Would you like to hear a few auspicious words when sending someone on their way?"

The spider dagger reflected a cold light from the palm of his hand.

Lu Tiannan raised his leg and precisely dodged the man's knife. He then easily struck the man's wrist with his other hand, and the knife fell to the ground as the man winced in pain.

Lu Tiannan's every heavy blow was precise and fast, quickly dissipating all of the male player's points of attack.

The man was kneeling on the ground with a dagger pressed against his neck by Lu Tiannan.

Lu Tiannan smiled mockingly, "What a pity, I don't know how to say auspicious words. Teach me—so I can send you on your way, how about that?"

The man stared wide-eyed at Lu Tiannan's face, as if he had thought of something.

Realizing this, I was utterly terrified and panicked.

"You're not...you're a player!"

Lu Tiannan chuckled, "Do you think I'm playing a quiz game with you? What's the point of guessing correctly? You should have faced reality from the start."

The dagger sliced ​​open the flesh of the neck, the shallow wound stimulating the man who had lost the ability to move.

It is a cruel form of torture that cuts through one's psychological defenses.

The man screamed in terror, "Don't kill me! I'll do whatever you say!"

The fear of collapse comes from the approach of death.

Lu Tiannan's tone was lazy yet tinged with doubt: "What use are you if you can't even tell the difference between players and NPCs?"

"No—I..."

Before the man could finish speaking, Lu Tiannan pierced his neck.

Dangers need to be eliminated gradually before safety can be achieved.

Those who reveal murderous intent to their brother cannot be trusted to stay.

Only the dead can inspire a sense of security and trust.

"May you have a pleasant reincarnation."

The other NPC prisoners cowered in fear, terrified that Lu Tiannan would approach and take them out one by one.

Although prison life is unbearable, filled with constant fear, they still don't want to die. Everyone understands the principle that it's better to live a miserable life than to die.

The A69's sound was a bit too loud just now.

The fact that the police officers turned a blind eye did not mean that the other prisoners could not hear what was happening.

It's not unusual for people to die in prison, but nobody's in a hurry to die right away. Those who want to die won't last two days; those who survive are people with a will to live.

A93 felt a chill run down his spine as he watched Lu Tiannan approach and smile at him.

Through the cell door, A93 asked warily, "What are you going to do?"

Lu Tiannan looked at the A93 thoughtfully, then his face lit up with curiosity.

"What else can we do but stir up trouble and alert the enemy? We can only eliminate them completely."

After saying that, Lu Tiannan chuckled and said leisurely, "I can't exactly say that I came to visit you out of kindness."

A93 gritted her teeth, still unwilling to give up, and tried to persuade Lu Tiannan.

"What benefits would you, as a player, gain from helping the warden? Staying here means certain death anyway. We can escape together! Isn't cooperation and mutual benefit the best outcome for players?!"

Lu Tiannan tilted his head as if he was thinking seriously, and after a while he chuckled and said, "The benefits... he's willing to let me sleep with him."

A93 seemed unable to believe what it had just heard.

His expression was one of shock and disbelief.

"I like the warden very much, so trying to sow discord won't work."

Lu Tiannan ostentatiously unbuttoned the top button of his shirt collar, revealing an ambiguous red mark.

A93's brain was still not working properly. How did this person manage to sleep with the dungeon boss and then emerge unscathed to slaughter players?

"The warden is definitely using you!! He tricked you into killing players, and in the end he will kill you. You can't escape."

A mocking smile appeared on Lu Tiannan's lips.

"Ha... I'm willing to be used by a beauty, no need for you to worry. Besides, who else but me could serve him so well at night? Tell me, how could he bear to kill me?"

A93 was struck dumb; he was truly asleep. The player in front of him had slept with the warden and was still alive.

Could it be that our initial goal of killing the warden was a mistake? Is it possible that we need to sleep with the warden to clear this dungeon?

This person is still in the instance after sleeping, what's wrong with that?

Lu Tiannan watched A93's expression change several times, too lazy to care what he was thinking.

"I'm in a good mood now, how about I pick a quick and painless way for you to die?"

Upon hearing this, A93 hurriedly said, "You're lacking clues, aren't you? As long as you don't kill me, I can keep providing you with the clues I get."

Lu Tiannan chuckled in a low, sinister voice, "What good are your clues? Do you think there's any clue in this prison that I can't find if I want to?"

"..." Just as A93 was feeling utterly hopeless and preparing for a desperate last stand.

Lu Tiannan suddenly changed his mind.

"Find out which players want to kill the warden. How many you can handle depends on your ability. If you do well, I'll spare your life and even take you out. If you don't, you'll die first."

"Don't even think about lying. Lying to me will only make your death more agonizing."

A93 took a while to recognize Lu Tiannan. "A person from Paradise Lost, his reputation should be pretty good."

If the other party really wanted him dead, they wouldn't have gone through all this trouble.

"I do!"

Lu Tiannan curled his lips and spoke in a lazy tone.

"Looking forward to your performance."

Upon closer inspection, the person had vanished without a trace.
