Chapter36

As he spoke, he glanced at Ya by his side. "You guys didn't have it easy before, always having to take care of these people."

Ya kept her mouth shut. Just now, she suddenly realized she had already revealed how to control Jiang Che to these two.

If danger showed up, she was probably the first to get thrown under the bus. Jiang Che might even outlast her.

With someone at hand that could be controlled or sacrificed at any moment, when peril struck, anyone hard to control naturally ended up getting eliminated first.

"There are a lot of people like Jiang Che. We might run into plenty more on the way. When we do, we can pull them into our team. As long as we keep them under control, they're great pawns." Ya seemed to think of something, clapping her hands in excitement, though she didn't dare make a sound.

The more she thought about it, the more hyped she became. Just looking at Jiang Che, she could see: in this twisted Dungeon, dumb luck favored the dumb. The more messed up your head, the better your survival odds compared to normal folks.

There would be more lunatics ahead. She had a mental list of every mental patient's weakness, their obsessions. She knew just how to comfort a maniac's heart.

This meant an endless supply of chess pieces for them.

As soon as she finished, Zhao Qi and Wang Bing exchanged a glance.

Neither spoke, merely left the abandoned house—one in front, one behind.

Once outside, the sticky sensation beneath their feet returned, every step scraping at their nerves.

"Is that place really far?" Jiang Che eyed the direction they were walking. He remembered this wasn't the way he came in.

"Oh yeah, just three days and we're there." Zhao Qi slung an arm around Jiang Che's shoulders, not mentioning that the Dungeon would end in three days—if they didn't find the exit, they'd be erased.

Besides, most people wouldn't last three days; by the end of day two, the evil spirits would have wiped them clean.
