Chapter 201: Heredity
“Why ask it like that?”
Luo Yu didn’t seem to mind the other’s question at all, instead looking at the person who asked it with great interest.
However, this gaze that carried a hint of “interest” seemed to have no warmth at all in Lu Jinzhao’s eyes.
It had neither malice nor goodwill, like looking at something irrelevant.
“One person from our city, when going in, saw one tablet missing, she…” At this point, the woman’s gaze briefly fell on Lu Jinzhao: “When she came out, she only took one tablet. Among the people from our side who entered the ancestral hall before, only people from your city.”
“Ah.” Luo Yu had a look of sudden realization: “In that case, you’re certain we took the tablet, so why use a questioning tone?”
“Because I don’t want to offend Senior you.” The woman’s words carried humility, but if she really didn’t want to offend, she wouldn’t have asked this question or pointed it out.
But she had no choice either.
Compared to facing ghosts, she definitely preferred facing people.
“I need that tablet.” Without the tablet, she didn’t know what she would encounter, but anyone with eyes could guess it wouldn’t end well.
“Unfortunately.” Luo Yu shook her head: “The tablet isn’t with me, you can’t get it even if you ask.”
The questioning woman’s expression changed slightly, and Lu Jinzhao saw a bit of forbearance in her expression.
“Not with Senior is of course even better.” She said: “Then I’ll go find the tablet’s whereabouts myself.”
Actually, she didn’t know if what Luo Yu said was true or false either.
Someone daring to modify the mission on the first night must have plenty of life-buying money, at least enough fault tolerance, and the number of people in Luo Yu’s city wasn’t that many, four people, with only her as special class.
Logically, she might have the most life-buying money, but since she was special class, there was also a high chance she wouldn’t risk herself.
After she finished speaking, Luo Yu’s expression didn’t change, and her tone remained casual.
“That won’t do.”
Luo Yu looked at the woman’s suddenly darkening expression, still keeping the same tone and expression, but her eyes fixed tightly on this person as she said: “My teammate has other things to do, I won’t allow you to disturb her.”
The seemingly casual tone conveyed her attitude.
The woman’s expression immediately became extremely ugly: “Then aren’t you telling me to go die?”
“Eh?” Luo Yu tilted her head: “That’s not how you put it, isn’t the situation you’re facing now because your teammate isn’t smart enough?”
The woman naturally knew this, but complaining about her teammate when already at a disadvantage was an even worse choice. She could only direct her spear at the city that took an extra tablet, that way, her teammates would help her a bit.
Because teammates didn’t want to face possible reduction in numbers so soon either, moreover, using one person to observe after taking one less tablet was enough, and it was best to maintain sufficient numerical advantage without sacrificing companions.
Besides, her city had two special class passengers this time, normally, after she said it so bluntly, shouldn’t they consider her backing special class a bit?
Why was this woman completely unyielding?
[Talks broke down, is it time to fight?]
The parchment was also watching the show, even gloating somewhat.
[You still dare to stand beside them watching the show, not afraid they’ll go berserk in the fight later and chop you down too.]
The parchment expressed some beautiful wish.
Lu Jinzhao ignored her, she didn’t think they’d fight right now.
Fight now?
Too early.
Sure enough, after probing that Luo Yu’s attitude was quite firm, the woman sighed: “Then it seems there’s no way here.”
“Yeah, what to do?” Luo Yu also had a tone of regret.
It sounded a bit infuriating, but considering she was special class, it wasn’t unbearable.
“Would you suddenly show goodwill to an outsider?” the woman suddenly asked.
Luo Yu blinked: “Of course not, I’m not a charity worker.”
“That’s good.”
After the woman finished speaking, she left the ancestral hall with her companion, and when passing by Lu Jinzhao, she even turned her head and gave Lu Jinzhao a meaningful glance.
Lu Jinzhao had an innocent look, as if she hadn’t understood at all what these two were saying.
[?]
[What did they talk about?]
[Why no fight?]
[Just asked if showing goodwill, and left without goodwill and the tablet?]
The parchment was clearly very dissatisfied with this play.
It completely couldn’t understand these humans’ thought processes, to rob things, shouldn’t you just kill the other side and take it?
Chat a couple sentences, then leave?
Rely on begging for others’ goodwill?
Lu Jinzhao resisted the urge to roll her eyes, thinking what did this idiot know.
The woman’s questions to Luo Yu here were all just a probe, her first target wasn’t Luo Yu who took an extra tablet or her city at all.
Asking if Luo Yu would show goodwill was to finally confirm Luo Yu’s attitude toward her and what her city was about to do next, whether completely hands-off, and having gotten the answer, the person naturally left.
From the start, the woman’s target was the team at the warehouse, where someone also took one less tablet.
Coming to probe Luo Yu’s attitude, if there was room to talk naturally best, if not it didn’t matter, they probably wanted to observe what happens with taking an extra tablet too, so Luo Yu wouldn’t be the first target.
Lu Jinzhao and Tian Lei only had two people, and no special class, the weakest and least threatening, moreover, Lu Jinzhao was the quickest to react last night, she was smart, keeping a weak but smart person in the death platform wasn’t bad for a special class.
So, if wanting to rob a tablet, eyes would naturally turn to the warehouse team that was already missing one tablet, also had one special class, and numbers even with Luo Yu’s city.
Since you’re already missing one tablet, then miss another.
The one asking Luo Yu if she would “show goodwill” wasn’t herself, but the warehouse she was about to head to.
After all, the woman’s city had the most people, two special class passengers, if Luo Yu wanted to maintain balance in the situation, she would surely intervene.
But Luo Yu didn’t seem to have that intention.
“What is she thinking?”
Lu Jinzhao was very curious.
Not ensuring relative balance in the field situation, but letting the “most powerful” side weaken another team of equal strength to her?
But now the worst should be her and Tian Lei being raised as “pigs” by these special classes?
“Good show to watch, are you going?”
Luo Yu suddenly approached Lu Jinzhao a few steps, asking pleasantly and lightly.
This guy seemed completely like a fun-seeker.
But the information said she was very reliable to her teammates.
