Chapter 133: Thank You
"What?" Carrey’s expression changed.
"Think about it, why would they be so kind as to give us power?" Karoso said, "Initially, the magic circle suppressed us, it didn’t affect them."
"Now that the magic circle is malfunctioning, the suppression has transferred to them. If we resist with all our might, they have a high chance of losing. They couldn’t be sure of killing us, but they were forced to kill us, so they came up with this plan."
"Hmm…" Carrey expressed that what the NPC said made sense.
Actually, Karoso made up a plan to see if Carrey would lead people to confront Law Enforcer head-on.
"This mist is suspicious, it aims to make us doubt and attack each other," Karoso said. "If your people die in the mist, will your alliance fall apart?"
Carrey nodded solemnly.
Right now, his team is already having issues, and this is just a small amount of mist. What if the mist lasts longer?
He thought carefully, this is not an impossible scenario!
Carrey had studied a lot of dungeon information, especially to understand his opponent Karoso, he specifically examined the dungeon data submitted by Karoso.
The Wax Museum is known for its internal conflicts.
"Where do you get your intel from?" Carrey asked.
Karoso looked at him silently, and calmly said, "Not interested in cooperating anymore?"
"No, no, no, that’s not what I meant…" Carrey wondered, what should he do now?
To complete the mission, they had to stay awake until dawn. It was a simple task, just living normally. If everyone sticks together, what threat is the Law Enforcer’s murders in the mist? They are not invincible, so there’s nothing to fear.
But where should The Favored One get the body parts from…
To complete the mission, they still needed to find The Favored One.
The Law Enforcer wants to kill us, The Favored One poses a threat, and to complete the mission and leave the dungeon, they also need The Favored One’s body parts…
Wait, there is one ultimate solution – kill the owner of the dungeon!
But who is the owner of this dungeon? They don’t even know if this dungeon is the only map in this prison, or if the church outside is also a map.
If they make a mistake, it will be a big problem.
"Do you have any questions…?" Karoso frowned, "Why are Evil Spirits possessing people?"
"Well, we are all lost souls, unknowingly entering into these bodies," said Carrey.
"If you don’t show sincerity, I don’t think we need to cooperate," Karoso said. "From the beginning, you said your name was Carrey Quant, those people are following you, I haven’t heard of Evil Spirits being organized or disciplined."
"Okay, I admit, we are undead summoned by a powerful Death Knight for a special mission here. The Death Knight cursed us, saying we will die if we speak out," Carrey said with a serious expression, making up stories.
Karoso didn’t expect him to tell the truth, but if Karoso didn’t question him a bit, he would feel something was wrong.
"Understood, if your mission can’t be spoken of, I don’t know how else I can help you," Karoso said.
"Tell me, if I gather my people together now and directly attack the Law Enforcer, can we escape?" Carrey recalled the details of the mission, which included escaping from the dungeon!
Survive until dawn with The Favored One, that is the whole mission.
"You’re insane…" Karoso growled softly. "You are now the most powerful fighting group, don’t do anything foolish!"
"Most people here have already accepted obeying the Law Enforcers. If they use rhetoric to call all prisoners and you to fight, your chances of failure are very high!"
Hearing Karoso say this, Carrey believed the NPC in front of him even more.
It is clear that this NPC truly wants to cooperate and survive, dedicating all efforts to strategize for the ‘most powerful person’.
"I have an idea." Carrey is someone who is very decisive. After hearing Karoso out, he was already thinking about taking control of his own destiny.
He had a rough plan in mind of what to do.
Finding The Favored One doesn’t seem important.
As long as he can unite more prisoners, he can fight his way out!
After killing all the Law Enforcers, then killing all the prisoners here, taking a part of each of their bodies and putting them on himself, wouldn’t he complete the mission? There are so many prisoners, there will surely be The Favored One. Anyway, they don’t know what our mission is.
Karoso understood too well the mentality of these typical strategists – they don’t trust others, only trust their own judgment.
Also, everyone has a bit of a contentious nature, and they are all willing to believe they are right.
Not only Carrey, Karoso is the same. If Karoso had more experience with bullet comments, he would listen to himself rather than others.
Carrey’s current idea is to use the most traditional method to conquer the dungeon.
"Okay, you do your thing, I just want to survive with her."
Just then, the Communication Card in Karoso’s deck lit up.
Wait, are there familiar faces of mine in this dungeon?
"Don’t worry, leave the rest to me. Just support me when the time is right." Carrey confidently patted Karoso’s shoulder. "If the magic circle malfunctions, it means the church is in trouble. We can definitely escape."
After their conversation, Karoso and Carrey returned to the scene of the incident.
More and more people gathered here, all solemnly looking at the deceased, unsure of who was responsible.
"Wait, he’s already dead, why isn’t the Law Enforcer carrying out the punishment?"
"He is The Favored One?"
"Is there a chance that when fog appears, Law Enforcer can’t see clearly either?"
"Law Enforcer is so powerful, how can they not see clearly?"
"Everyone, scatter!" Karoso said, "Try not to gather together, so that when the fog appears again, if someone holds a grudge against you, they might attack directly…"
Many people’s faces changed, quickly distancing themselves from those around them.
Just then, a dozen people came down and gathered around Carrey.
"Boss, we’re here," one of them hurriedly said to Carrey.
"You guys also know to come here?" Carrey squinted his eyes.
At first, Carrey did not gather all of his men. Many of his underlings had experience in dungeons and knew the importance of not being exposed.
Just now when the fog appeared, people started to die, they had to stick together, only by sticking together they were safe!
"Hmph, I’ll let you off this time, everyone gather around, I have a plan to share with you all," Carrey scanned the crowd in front of him, "In my eyes, this dungeon has been cleared!"
"Do we not need to search for clues separately anymore?" one of the henchmen asked in confusion.
"You may be the boss but I’m also a boss? Follow my orders!" Carrey sternly said, "When the fog appears, everyone remember to stay put and stay alert! If anyone dares to harm each other, even if they leave, they will not escape my punishment!"
"Yes!"
The henchmen scattered to find others and gather together.
Karoso noticed Carrey’s leadership skills and couldn’t help but nod in approval.
Most of the noble offspring were indeed not incompetent.
In Karoso’s eyes, Carrey was the villain, the enemy, but that didn’t mean he was stupid.
Karoso was ahead at this time for two reasons: one is the advantage of bullet comments, and the other is that Karoso is in the dark.
You should know that in the official history, Karoso had his eyes gouged out by Carrey.
"What did you just say?" The blue-haired girl’s gaze slowly turned to Karoso, "What’s happening to you can’t be explained by just overhearing drunk talk."
"Your personality has changed too much, your actions have changed too much, you are too strange!"
"Let me explain…" Karoso, looking at the blue-haired girl’s cold gaze, couldn’t help but feel sorry and reached out towards her.
"Don’t touch me!" The blue-haired girl stepped back, wary, and said, "I suspect you’re not him."
"I…" Karoso opened his mouth.
"Tell me, what important thing happened between us?" The blue-haired girl stared at Karoso, clenched her fists.
Her gaze held pleading, anticipation, and a hint of despair.
"Sorry," Karoso sighed.
Using bullet comments, my character is ruined.
I really can’t pretend to be this person.
[Why does Master Karoso seem strange today?]
[Yeah, normally Master Karoso doesn’t even pay attention to Neymar, completely ignoring her feelings.]
[Did he suddenly grow up?]
[Yeah, the match doesn’t seem right, I don’t support this couple.]
[Exactly, there is a emotional foundation with 『』, Alita, Neymar, and even the merchant. But he just met this person, why does he care so much about her feelings?]
[Doesn’t she look a bit like blue-haired Neymar?]
[You think that Master Karoso’s change in appearance has affected his personality due to the influence of the original owner of this body?]
[Anything is possible in this world.]
[It could also be a performance by Master Karoso, who knows how to make you cry when he needs to.]
Karoso looked at the bullet comments in front of him, feeling surprised.
Without realizing it, have I been influenced?
I care about the feelings of the girl in front of me, and my suddenly quickened heartbeat is not normal.
"I understand," the girl with blue hair bit her lip. "I won’t follow you anymore."
With that, she turned and left.
She planned to find the person in the long black coat and ask how to dispel this Evil Spirit.
Karoso saw her leave, feeling a sudden pain in his heart.
He tried to control his emotions, found a secluded place, and took out the Communication Card.
Kirmin? She came in too?
Soon, Karoso called her back.
"Hello, young master, how is it going on your end?"
"How did you come in?" Karoso frowned.
"I don’t know how! I just followed in! Young master, please make sure my safety is guaranteed, I don’t want to die here…"
"You saw Carrey and the others, right? Don’t reveal yourself easily."
"Young master, don’t worry, I just did some business deals and wanted to report to you."
"What kind of business?"
"I bribed the Law Enforcers. They said that they can’t see clearly in the mist, so they can kill people at will, and warned me to be careful. The things we eat are the source of our power. This time, the mist was not too bad, but next time, those who haven’t eaten anything will lose their strength. After four mists, they might not even have the strength to move."
Karoso was listening attentively.
In such a short time, how much has this girl accomplished by bribing the Law Enforcers?
Karoso finally understood what the top merchant mentioned in the bullet comments was all about.
The bullet comments mentioned that she could obtain many legendary materials and successfully trade with anyone.
By my side, she is a housekeeper who often takes kickbacks when I ask her to run errands, but I tolerate it.
Strangely, her taking kickbacks actually makes me feel more at ease.
It seems that she has already used her abilities on me, but I just haven’t realized it.
She got what she wanted, I got what I wanted, and we all lived happily ever after!
"I understand," Karoso took a deep breath. "Is there any other information?"
"Yes, I bribed two outsiders who are not The Favored One. Their mission is to obtain a part of The Favored One, it should be real."
"I see…" Karoso rubbed his chin. "So that’s why you kept my identity secret… Why did you approach them for information? You are not The Favored One, you should know your own mission, right?"
"Of course, I know my mission. Isn’t it safer this way? They enter the dungeon outside Canterwind, which is different from our location. I want to see if there’s any difference."
"Very well, you are cautious," Karoso praised. "I will pay you the top tier mercenary fee for this dungeon."
"Thank you, sir! Shall we meet up?"
"Okay."
Afterwards, Kirmin mentioned some trading opportunities in this dungeon, and after giving instructions, Karoso ended the communication.
He quickly found Carrey and asked, "Did you eat the food earlier?"
"Yes, why do you ask?" Carrey replied, looking puzzled.
"I know you want to challenge the Law Enforcer, but I advise you, your life is important," Karoso said. Surprised to see a noble young man like Carrey speaking so firmly, he added with some admiration, "You are Evil Spirits from outside. Many people do not understand the importance of food. After the next mist, those who haven’t eaten will experience a significant drop in their strength…"
Carrey’s expression changed after hearing Karoso’s words.
Damn, there are quite a few people who haven’t eaten this thing!
No, I have to quickly complete my plan, resist quickly, or else after the fourth mist, I will only be at the mercy of others.
"Is there any other way to get food from the cafeteria?" Carrey hastily asked.
"I don’t know about that, but my friend does," Karoso replied. "However, she and I are not very close. If you want to convince her to tell you, you will have to pay a price…"
"No problem!" Carrey said, relieved that there was a solution. Grateful for Karoso’s concern, he didn’t hesitate to express his gratitude, "Thank you!"
