Monument of Life and Death

  Chapter 458 Catfish

  As soon as the three of them returned to the tent, Jasmine eagerly leaned to Lu Qianqian's side and asked softly, "Listen to Xiaolan...You have already got the insect print, is it true?"

  Lu Qianqian watched Xiaolan tighten the tent, then raised his hand and took off the mask.

  The cheeks that were originally printed with black marks were white and pure, and the shadow of the scorpion was completely absent.

  Jasmine looked at Xiaolan with a bewildered look.

   "I...I saw it clearly," Xiaolan didn't give up, and took a closer look. "When I was in the ring just now, here...or there, there is definitely a black scorpion."

  Lu Qianqian smiled slightly.

  It was the first time that Xiaolan saw her smiling. The soft smile fell on this seductive and sharp face, which was unexpectedly unique.

  Jasmine looked at Xiao Lan, who was trying to explain her teeth and dancing claws, and at Lu Qianqian who showed a mysterious smile, her brows gradually unfolded.

   "Oh-I see," she pointed to Lu Qianqian, "You are the owner of Patriarch Xia Hua..."

   "Hush——" Lu Qianqian made another silent gesture.

  Jasmine lowered her volume with conscience, "Are you a disciple of Patriarch Xiahua?"

  "I took Xia Hua from the Patriarch of the Four Summers," Lu Qianqian nodded, "I don't have the skills of a Patriarch, so the life insects are only printed when they are able to deliver."

   "Did they tell you that?" Jasmine shrank her neck, her expression strange.

Lu Qianqian paused, "What do you mean by this?"

   Jasmine sucked her nose and shook her head calmly, "It's nothing, it's just that I don't know much about Sixia and I don't know it."

  Jasmine's appearance might be able to fool Lu Qianqian who didn't know her, but he couldn't fool Xiaolan.

  This guy must have something else.

  But considering that he and Jasmine are still in the same group, Xiaolan didn’t break it through, but just changed the topic, “Then your life bug is a scorpion?”

   "It's a sword scorpion," Lu Qianqian looked a little ostentatious, "I like to call it the master bookworm."

"Listen to you, did your Xia Hua Patriarch's face always have that worm mark?" Xiaolan touched her cheek, "When I saw her before, I didn't notice the mark on her face. Or is it that her life bug is a small bug?"

  Lu Qianqian waved his hand, “Insect marks may not always grow on the face, but the worm marks of the Patriarch are elsewhere.”

   Xiaolan nodded "Oh oh", wondering how Lu Qianqian's beautiful face would grow into a scorpion.

   "Why did you come to participate in this competition?" Jasmine finally asked.

  After hearing this question, Lu Qianqian was taken aback.

"You do not know?"

   "Know what?" This time it was Jasmine's turn to wonder.

   "I thought we were here for the same thing," Lu Qianqian tilted his head, "Then you... why are you here?"

   Ah, this...

  It seems that people came with official duties. In contrast, their purpose seems to be simply "coming to play."

"Do you know our Nine Detective Qiao Nian?" Jasmine asked without changing her face. Seeing Lu Qianqian nodded, she continued, "Then you should also know about her amnesia. We are participating in this competition just to give She retrieved her memory, this is the method given by the doctor."

I bother!

  Although this was something to say, Lu Qianqian really believed it.

"In this way, our goals are similar," Lu Qianqian sat down and said slowly, "During this period of time, Si Xia has been investigating the incident in the King City. We have lost several seniors and our vitality is greatly injured. , Patriarch was furious, and the only clues left were Shu Tian Yebai at May Gengtian and Nine Tan Qiao Nian who had amnesia. After Patriarch returned from Wenjing, his attitude changed a little, like what Luo Vicehui said to Patriarch. She also began to feel that things were strange. Although she arranged for us to increase the intensity of searching for Yebai at the Wugongtian, she especially urged us not to hurt his life. In the process of searching, we heard that someone saw him for the last time. At ten-day banquets in other cities, when we hurried away, the game team had already left, so we followed in the footsteps of the ten-day banquet and came here."

   Xiaolan and Jasmine were dumbfounded.

   "Ten Day Banquet?" Jasmine craned her neck, "Why did he appear in this game? He still has the mind to compete?"

  Lu Qianqian shook his head, “We don’t know in what capacity Ye Bai appeared at the Ten Day Banquet, but we suspect... he may be related to the design team behind the Ten Day Banquet."

   "Uh...is it really okay for us to say this here?" Xiaolan interjected.

  After all, they are still in other people's games!

"It doesn't matter. We investigated in detail before coming over. Although this competition is a holographic brain imaging interactive competition, the organizer cannot monitor the internal communication of players," Lu Qianqian replied, "unless a member of the design team participates as a player , They generally call this kind of player catfish."

  "Catfish?!" Xiaolan and Jasmine exclaimed at the same time.

  Lu Qianqian sat up straight, "What's the matter?"

"We've heard this word," Xiaolan knocked on his forehead, "Just when...just as we were waiting for admission, two staff members said, one asked the other whether this event would break the record, and the other worked. The staff said, it depends on when they found the catfish... So that's what it meant."

Lu Qianqian relaxed, "Well, that should be what it means. There is a psychological effect called the catfish effect. The catfish in it exists to maintain the vitality of other fish. The game team comes out to participate, and to a certain extent, it is also to ensure the game environment. Good, of course it is possible that the final jackpot will be won by Catfish..."

   "What?!" When Xiaolan heard this, he immediately bombed the temple, "Despicable! How can this be done?! Report it!"

  But Jasmine’s attention was not on the bonus. She answered Lu Qianqian's words and asked, "You mean Ye Bai might be a catfish?"

"It's just possible," Lu Qianqian said rigorously. "But whether it's ordinary players, backstage teams or catfish, they are all related to this competition. We didn't intend to participate in the competition, but we didn't expect the security of the Ten Day Banquet to be so good. , We couldn't find a breakthrough at all, so we decided to take a look at it. Anyway, it only takes a few days, and maybe we can gain something."

   Jasmine nodded in agreement, but quickly fell down, "Then you don't mean to lose this time...you will leave the game after it is over."

"At this time, it's just time to leave," Lu Qianqian said, "Later levels will become more and more difficult. Players will diverge, and the chance of encountering catfish will increase, and the chance of our goal being discovered will also increase. It’s the time for players to retire from the game in large numbers. After we quit, we can take advantage of the chaos to get into the backstage, and later, it will not be so convenient to act."

  "The inside of the game..." Jasmine murmured.

  Lu Qianqian looked at the two of them and smiled sweetly, "Aren't you still in the game."
