Rescuing the Villainous Boss with a Little Dirty Master

After receiving Ang's permission, the group got up and walked toward the garden.

The wall directly below window 212 looked as if it had been rubbed hard, with a piece of plaster missing. A few withered leaves were scattered on the ground, but nothing else was there.

The trail went cold.

"There's something wrong with the full-length mirror in the room. Don't let it reflect your images tonight."

Wei Shenglan told the others about the strangeness of the full-length mirror last night. Combined with the broken mirror in Liu Ying's room, Tao Tao quickly imagined what happened in room 211 last night.

A person who looks exactly like Liu Ying approaches her step by step through the mirror, and the mirror shatters. Perhaps the person in the mirror broke the mirror and stepped out, or perhaps it could only be...

The person in the mirror pulled Liu Ying into the mirror, and the shattered mirror surface foreshadowed that Liu Ying was trapped inside forever.

What was that monster that was wandering the corridor last night?

"Last night, after Pei Siqi's alarm clock went off, the monster on the second floor started targeting his room. But it only banged on the door to scare him; it didn't break in..."

"Why did the monster break down the door when they got to Liu Ying's room? Was it just because of that full-length mirror?"

Finding no useful clues, the group decided to examine the withered black barrels. Jiang Heng and Wei Shenglan remained at the rear.

"Liu Ying and the others seem to be seasoned players. It's a pity they lost so early in the game; I wonder if it will affect their ranking..."

Tao Tao walked ahead, murmuring softly. Because the garden was extremely quiet, Jiang Heng could still hear her clearly, even though her voice was very soft.

"Master, open my attribute panel again and let me see it!"

Hearing his serious tone, 886 quickly took action.

Jiang Heng's gaze was fixed on the panel.

"Health Points: 100 (Note: Reaching zero health points will actually result in death)"

Pei Siqi and Liu Ying are basically confirmed to be dead in the game. According to this note, they should also be dead in real life, but Tao Tao only cares about their game rankings... He suddenly had a bad feeling.

Wei Shenglan was still lost in his thoughts when the tugging at his sleeve made him stop in his tracks. Looking down, he saw a pair of long, slender, white fingers gripping his sleeve.

He turned around and gave Jiang Heng a questioning look.

Jiang Heng held the piece of fabric and beckoned him to lower his head. Wei Shenglan stared into his eyes for a few seconds, then complied by slightly lowering his head.

"Brother, is there an extra note next to your health bar saying that if your health bar reaches zero, you will really die?"

Wei Shenglan grabbed Jiang Heng's wrist, his tone serious, "Do you have one?"

Jiang Heng looked at his face, which had suddenly turned extremely ugly, and felt both happy and worried. It seemed that his identity in this world was being targeted again.

Is this about saving the villain or saving yourself?

Jiang Heng nodded. "Is there a bug in the game?"

Wei Shenglan released his grip on his hand and gently patted his head. "Don't be afraid, everything will be alright."

He entered the game because the main system detected data corruption, but the specifics are still unclear. All data is under strict monitoring, and the main system will forcibly terminate the game and log the player off if anything is amiss.

Jiang Heng gripped her sleeve even tighter, her fingertips even brushing against Wei Shenglan's wrist, warm and soft, with a touch uniquely his.

"I'm not afraid. I believe in my brother."

Looking at the light in his eyes, Wei Shenglan seemed to be infected by it, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as he softly responded, "Mm."

Tao Tao heard the footsteps behind her stop, turned around, and saw the two of them staring at each other, their eyes practically glued together.

Tao Tao: "!!!"

She must have done good deeds every day in her past life to be able to see such a beautiful scene in a holographic game!

Qi Nan, who had already walked a few meters away, was about to turn back and suggest that they explore the garden separately when she saw this strange scene.

Two grown men were being all lovey-dovey, while a girl watched them with gleaming eyes...

He rubbed the goosebumps that had risen on his arms, completely bewildered. But he didn't intend to disrupt the strange yet harmonious atmosphere and silently slipped into the flowerbed.

Jiang Heng and Wei Shenglan had finished exchanging information. After all, he was the person who understood holographic games best, and if anything seemed amiss, Wei Shenglan would definitely be able to spot the clues from the smallest details.

When the two turned around, they found Tao Tao standing there looking at them with a maternal smile.

Jiang Heng and 886 simultaneously thought to themselves, "Got it, they've hit it off."

Tao Tao chuckled twice at the two of them, then quickly disappeared into the flower bushes.

The moment Jiang Heng stepped into the flowerbed, she noticed something was wrong.

As a ghost in the previous world, he had an extremely strong sense of ghosts and monsters. Even though he exists as a human in this world, he can still feel the cold and eerie atmosphere that permeates this garden.

Wei Shenglan turned to look at the window of Jiang Heng's room. The flamboyant black buckle was still fixed to the glass, forming a stark contrast with the withering flowerbed at his feet.

Jiang Heng followed his gaze and asked quietly, "Are you also in Leo's camp?"

Wei Shenglan: "???"

As one of the participants in the game planning, Wei Shenglan certainly knew what Jiang Heng meant. But if he remembered correctly, it wasn't time to choose a faction yet... How could this person be so much faster than everyone else in just one night?

At that moment, Wei Shenglan suddenly began to question the capabilities of his team.

"Could it be that we're on opposing sides?"

Seeing the confusion in the other person's eyes, Jiang Heng's pupils dilated slightly. If Wei Shenglan was really from the opposing camp, then hadn't she just given the enemy a clue for nothing? Damn it!

Wei Shenglan seemed to understand the emotions in his eyes, and coughed softly to hide the smile that was about to burst out.

He didn't answer Jiang Heng's question, but turned around and walked straight into the depths of the flower bushes.

Jiang Heng was still muttering complaints in place when, just as he was about to walk in the opposite direction from Wei Shenglan, a broadcast suddenly came to his mind.

[A new player has been added to Count Leo's faction. Current player count (2/2)]

Jiang Heng looked at Wei Shenglan and saw that he was holding a plump flower petal in his hand, waving it at Jiang Heng with a faint smile in his eyes.

"We're on the same side now."

The petals shimmered with a delicate luster in the sunlight, but it couldn't outshine the brilliance in his eyes.

At the same time, Qi Nan and Tao Tao also heard the notification in their minds.

[The Leo faction is full. Players Qi Nan/Tao Tao have been automatically transferred to the opposing faction.]

Side tasks:

Count Ang does not wish for the truth to be revealed. As his supporter, please cooperate fully with him; you may be surprised by the results.

Qi Nan: "???"

Tao Tao: "???"

No, who is Leo? Why is this game involving forced sales?

The two straightened up from the flower bushes and looked at Jiang Heng and Wei Shenglan, who had been partners just minutes before but had now become "enemies." Their expressions were rather complicated.
