Chapter 362 - 362 Hu Ya

Translator: 549690339

Zhao Lanfen and Cheng Xi’s screams lasted all night.

Bai Youwei pulled two balls of cotton out of her pillow, plugged her ears, and curled up to sleep with her bunny.

She slept peacefully, but someone else couldn’t.

Hu Ya rolled over in bed, opened her eyes, looking at the dimly lit room, she couldn’t calm her heart.

Earlier, Yu Yaqing’s key hadn’t opened the door. Did that mean the key in her hand was the real one?

Or… were both keys fake?

No…Impossible!

Among the two keys, one must be the True Key! Killing the Duke won’t work. If the keys were also fake, how could one advance in the game?!

Hu Ya couldn’t help sitting up in bed, gripping the key.

If the key was a fake, it would be useless to surrender it;

If she held the True Key, she’d have to consider whether the game might only allow one player to pass. Then, she would have to keep the key.

The last bride…

Regardless, she must figure out a way to be the last bride!

Hu Ya got out of bed, crossed the corridor, entered the hall, and came to the sealed door, pulling out her key—

Click, click, click…

She turned the key left and right, but no matter how much she tried, it wouldn’t open.

The more she tried, the more frustrated she became, pulling it out and pushing it back in, trying repeatedly, the lock wouldn’t budge!

“Why won’t it open… why… could it be just like Bai Youwei said, it only opens during the day…”

She bit her lip, turning the key while murmuring to herself, sweat beaded on her forehead.

“Stop trying.”

A voice suddenly sounded behind her. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hu Ya jumped, turned around, and found it was Yu Yaqing!

“Tea… team leader.” Hu Ya was flustered, “You…why are you here…”

Yu Yaqing did not respond, only looked at her coldly:

“Don’t you understand? The Gardener is the Duke during the day, his words can’t be trusted, he is deceiving us and wants us all to die here!”

“I know…” Hu Ya forced a light laugh, “Of course I don’t believe the Gardener, I just wanted to try.”

“Just trying?” Yu Yaqing stared into her eyes, “You didn’t want to escape alone? Hu Ya, what did I teach you?! Hand over the key!”

Hu Ya took a step back, tucking the key back into her pocket:

“Team leader, although we haven’t entered the game before, we’ve heard quite a bit about the game from the exchange area. Most games are competitive. Now both of us have keys, we should work together to win the game. How can you let them lead you around by the nose?”

“Hu Ya?” Yu Yaqing was surprised and angry at her attitude, his voice even harsher!

“Have you gone mad?! Do you really think that being the last one standing will give you more rewards? To betray your teammates for rewards?! Sacrifice others?! Have you been brainwashed by the game?!!”

Hu Ya continued to back away, speaking slowly, “I’m not brainwashed, I’m simply following your teachings. Didn’t you always teach us to be independent and self-reliant?”

Yu Yaqing retorted angrily: “This isn’t an excuse for you to hoard the key!”

“Don’t you understand?” Hu Ya continued to back off, “… with the key in my hand, I don’t need anyone, I can finish the game! Instead you, team leader, I’m disappointed in you… You always say that women don’t need to rely on anyone, what about you? Aren’t you being dependent on them? Team leader, they’re using you! Without you, they can’t kill the Duke!”

Yu Yaqing bellowed sternly: “We can only leave this place after killing the Duke!”

“No…” Hu Ya bit her lip, her eyes blazing with madness, “Only the last bride can leave this place!”
