Chapter 251: Chapter 199: Fools Have Fool’s Luck (Third Update)_2

Perhaps if he was locked in here without food or water for three days, he could understand how it feels.

Laughing derisively at the man’s retreating figure, Lu Yi stood up, looked at the direction where Mu Lin and his companion were hiding, turned off the light, and subsequently closed the door.

He had felt it earlier, despite the pitch-dark room devoid of any light, Mu Lin could still see him. Because the moment he spoke to her, Mu Lin’s gaze met his.

His lips curled slightly in a smile, truly worthy of the title Divine Doctor Mu.

After the sound of the other’s footsteps gradually faded into silence, Mu Lin and his companion emerged from behind the cupboard. Because he could not see, Jing Youlan held the hem of Mu Lin’s clothes very seriously, having no other option. He certainly did not want to stumble in the dark and alert the people outside.

"Mu Lin, will you treat his sister?" Jing Youlan suddenly asked. The man seemed quite alright, in fact, he was a bit like their senior.

Hearing this, Mu Lin’s eyes flickered, "You should know that I’m not a good person." He should be clear about her identity, she’s was the notorious Poison Doctor who kills without shedding a single drop of blood.

"Of course." Hearing Mu Lin’s comment, Jing Youlan subconsciously agreed, but after he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and coughed awkwardly, "Honestly, I never thought of you as a bad person; you absolutely must not misunderstand."

Oh dear, he’d really set himself up for that.

However, Mu Lin’s reaction was to only laugh casually, "You should understand me. I don’t care about such illusory reputations. Moreover, the so-called good people are nothing in my eyes." She never intended to be a good person.

Heh, heh, heh... Jing Youlan could only manage dry laughter.

Fine, Jing Youlan knew well that Mu Lin never saw herself as a hypocritically good person because, well, she was a very real villain.

Jing Youlan knew, although Mu Lin must have had a kill count, as there are no waves without a wind. However, he knew even more clearly that Mu Lin would never intentionally harm ordinary people. Especially since her hands had saved even more lives.

Whether it was his Grandpa, Zhang Mingzhe, or Xu Yibai of the Xu Family... All of these had sufficiently proven the actual goodness of Mu Lin’s nature.

Many times, she was just far too real.

...

Ignoring Jing Youlan further, Mu Lin’s eyes briefly scanned their surroundings. Step by step, she drew closer to the wall, searching and examining for even the subtlest clues.

To be honest, Jing Youlan really felt like they had come here just to make things difficult.

"Mu Lin, can we really not turn on the lights?" How long would they need to grope around in the dark?

Throwing him a glance, Mu Lin held back her retort, "I never said we couldn’t!" She was the picture of innocence.

Jing Youlan felt like spitting blood; but you never said we could turn them on either!

As if knowing what Jing Youlan was going to say, Mu Lin continued, "Even in complete darkness, I can still see. Whether or not there is light isn’t a problem for me."

At this point, Jing Youlan was speechless.

No wonder! No wonder Mu Lin could so easily find the man’s location. Night vision! This was like having a fighter jet in the realm of vision, it was incredibly exciting.

Then, very realistically, Jing Youlan groped around the corner of the wall, before finally finding the light switch.

With a "click", the world once again became bright.

Even so, he was still somewhat uncertain, "The people outside surely can’t see in, can they?"

"They can’t see." Mu Lin replied flatly: "In order to leave this place in complete darkness, they’ve even made sure the door seals tightly. It’s simply impossible for them to see inside; unless..."

"Unless?"

A smile played on the corner of Mu Lin’s mouth: "Unless somebody else is coming to be locked up."

Jing Youlan: "That joke wasn’t funny at all."

Mu Lin: "Alright, let’s search carefully to see if there are any hidden mechanisms around. My intuition tells me that there can’t be nothing around here."

Jing Youlan no longer spoke, instead thoroughly searching their surroundings.

Where could it be?

Jing Youlan sudde the area where he had just been hiding, his eyes darted around, muttering to himself, "Why is there another light switch here?" Why were there so many switches in a confinement room?

While thinking about this, he subconsciously reached out to press it.

After another "click", the light... remained on as before, but the cupboard next to him... started to move at that moment.

Jing Youlan was stupefied.

Darn it! They’d searched so hard for a hidden compartment and hadn’t expected to find it in such an obvious spot.

Indeed... high tech!

...

"Fools often have fortune." Mu Lin commented.

Jing Youlan: "..." Cut me some slack, Mu Lin, after all, I’m the one who found it.

"Turn the light off and wait up here." Mu Lin instructed.

"No, it’s too dangerous." Unfortunately, Jing Youlan refused without hesitation.

"We must have a backup on the surface." However, Mu Lin’s tone remained stern, "Don’t forget, whether it’s in physical ability or concealment, I outmatch you. Therefore, I must be the one to go down."

"Also, if someone enters here, getting rid of them depends on you." The meaning behind Mu Lin’s words was that the surface was even more critical. Jing Youlan could not resist Mu Lin’s reasoning and could only agree.

Helpless, who made it the truth? Whether in terms of physical ability or the ability to hide his presence, he was far lesser than Mu Lin. Given that, the only thing he could do was guard Mu Lin’s rear, so she wouldn’t have to worry about anything.

Somehow, Jing Youlan felt like he’d gained a sudden insight.
