Chapter 557: Chapter 557: The Night-blooming Jasmine Breeze

"You few definitely can’t pull it off alone. Is there someone inside the city coordinating with you?" Xu Huo glanced at 179 and then said, "That means there is someone on the inside."

"Simply exposing the True Human Game is useless." He appraised truthfully, "Although Clown City is not that large, the architectural structure makes it very easy to lock down the city. Moreover, the people who truly control Clown City have likely already accepted the True Human Game. Protests are futile; the best method is to overthrow the current government."

was already completely unable to control the tension in his body upon hearing this. He stared at Xu Huo with a mix of fear and hatred in his eyes.

At this point in the conversation, Xu Huo stopped talking, smiled, stood up, and said to the people beating insistently on the opposite side of the bathroom door, "Stay put in the bathroom overnight and I’ll let you live to leave tomorrow. If you insist on coming out, then I have no choice but to have an extra midnight snack."

It instantly fell quiet in the bathroom.

Xu Huo then returned to the center of the room and said to 179, "I’ll think about whether or not to reveal this matter tomorrow."

He tied up the person with kite string and turned off the lights to sleep.

sat on the chair, unmoved.

At three in the morning, the room door silently opened, and a cat-like shadow slipped into the room, firing five shots at the bulge under the covers before approaching it.

"He’s not dead!" 179, controlled by the prop, called out a warning, but it was too late. Xu Huo, who had been bracing himself against the ceiling, dropped down swiftly and choked the intruder’s throat, disarming their gun.

The intruder was also a player. At close range, Xu Huo instantly smelled a faint fragrance. He quickly held his breath and put on his "Oxygen Supply," but the shooter took the opportunity to break free and grabbed a dagger, slashing at his throat.

Xu Huo caught the dagger with a backhand grip, and it instantly turned to powder. The intruder gave him a surprised look and immediately turned to run toward the door.

Rather than chasing, Xu Huo walked over and courteously closed the door that the intruder hadn’t managed to close.

could not fathom his actions, and Xu Huo simply turned and said, "It seems that the Player Level of the person you called here isn’t very high."

looked at him with uncertainty and confusion, "What are you really planning to do?"

"Join in the excitement," Xu Huo replied indifferently. "Joining in the excitement is human nature, and if the mood strikes, I might just pick a side and lend a hand."

"You’re willing to help?" 179 had never seen such a cooperative player. The higher their Player Level and abilities, the less likely they were to cooperate, because they either didn’t care about these things or were easily lured away by the government’s generous conditions. There was simply no stable foundation for cooperation.

"Of course, I’m a good guy," Xu Huo said with a smile. "Otherwise, you can ask Xin Hui— not only did I save her, but I also let her go. Could she have made it to Chaoyang Clown City so quickly without my help?"

fell silent.

Xu Huo was in no hurry; if tonight wasn’t the time, someone would come to find him tomorrow.

The night passed relatively peacefully, and as soon as morning arrived, many people extended olive branches, inviting him to various places for tours or banquets. He learned from the hotel staff that this was the norm, and not just for him—most players who successfully completed the cleaning task and returned to Clown City received this treatment.

Take note: players.

If someone was willing to pay a high price, players could freely choose where to live in different sectors after. If they weren’t willing to go, they could still receive government benefits and have the government make the arrangements.

Xu Huo went out to eat and encountered Xin Hui, she saw the led 179 and her face colored slightly, but more than that, there was a wariness towards him.

The middle-aged man from yesterday appeared before them once again, and with high enthusiasm said, "Miss Lang Lang will have breakfast with you all, this is an unprecedented honor, ah. The Rose of Chaoyang Clown City, the cherished pearl of the chief administrator, doesn’t easily meet with outsiders. You’re all very lucky!"

A brawny man among them, on hearing this, eyes sparked with eagerness, and hurriedly said, "Can’t keep Miss Lang Lang waiting! Let’s go, let’s go quickly!"

The others seemed to have heard of "Miss Lang Lang" to some extent, and all displayed looks of yearning as they quickly followed the middle-aged man to the top-floor restaurant.

Xu Huo’s gaze lingered on Xin Hui and 179 as he followed the crowd into the restaurant. As he stepped in, he heard someone ahead exclaim, "What a wonderful fragrance."

The restaurant was filled with a unique, faint scent. A woman stood with her back to them in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. From just her silhouette, this woman already fulfilled every man’s fantasy, and the several men present couldn’t help but turn their heads, trying to peer past her hair to catch a glimpse of her face.

The woman soon turned around, and with a slight smile, greeted them, "Welcome, everyone."

Not just her silhouette, but also her features and voice precisely scratched where everyone itched; not just the men, even Xin Hui had a flushed face, her eyes filled with infatuation.

Lang Lang seemed accustomed to such attention, and she politely invited everyone to take a seat. The brawny man rushed to sit next to her but was stopped by two players before he could get close, "Please, sir, another spot. We must keep the seat next to Miss Lang Lang empty."

The brawny man was the one whose leg 179 had shot through yesterday. His eyes were practically glued to Lang Lang as he jostled with the two players, saying, "Miss Lang Lang specifically invited me to have a meal together. Are you showing me disrespect? Not giving face to Miss Lang Lang?"

The players stood their ground, and in the end, it was Miss Lang Lang who invited him to sit down across from her, thereby avoiding further conflict.

The others also wanted to sit close to Lang Lang, even if separated by one chair, but after much dispute, the seats beside Lang Lang were all taken by players, leaving no chance for others to get closer.

Xu Huo sat across from Lang Lang, her scent suggesting a connection to the player who came to assassinate him the previous night. She appeared so openly before him, likely there to tie up loose ends.

During the meal, Lang Lang didn’t talk much, with most of the conversation being others trying to curry favor. As breakfast was nearly over, Xin Hui expressed concern, "Miss Lang Lang, you’ve eaten so little."

Lang Lang rested her cheek in her hand, elbow propped on the table, lazily replying, "I haven’t had much of an appetite recently."

"The weather has been too hot lately; greasy food surely doesn’t appeal to Miss Lang Lang," the brawny man promptly said. "I know there’s a snack shop nearby with light food. If Miss Lang Lang needs it, I can go buy some right away."

Lang Lang turned her head to look at him, "Will you go yourself?"

The brawny man was captivated, "Of course!"

Lang Lang smiled, "Quickly go and come back, I’ll wait for you here."

Without another word, the brawny man left the restaurant, and then, following his example, the rest began to say they knew some delicious food they could fetch or where there were flower shops that cultivated special blooms that could lift one’s spirits.

With a few smiles from Lang Lang, they all scattered.

In the end, only she remained, with two players, Xin Hui and 179, as well as Xu Huo who was still drinking water.

Lang Lang looked at him and asked softly, "Mister Wu, have you ever seen a rose wither?"
