Chapter 248 - 248: Even Betting Her Life

However, Yue Xin overestimated her ability. She had never evolved the ability to climb trees in her previous studies. In her past life as a miserable fake rich missy, she had never climbed trees.

Therefore, Yue Xin climbed two steps and slid two steps under a tree. This repeated for about 20 times. A voice suddenly sounded from a tree near Yue Xin. “Are you an idiot? If you can’t climb up, don’t you know how to change your method?”

Yue Xin looked over. On the tree that had nothing unusual on it just now, a woman with no special appearance suddenly appeared and was looking at her. Yue Xin recognized her at a glance. It was the special killer, Mi Aya, she had met on the first day she went to the Newbie Building.

Mi Aya was good at disguising herself. She often appeared beside the enemy with an identity that the enemy could not detect at all. Then, she would assassinate them in a high-profile manner. She was a very contradictory assassin. At this moment, she would remind Yue Xin because she could not stand Yue Xin’s stupid actions. In a branch battle with such a low survival rate, no one would show kindness for no reason.

Yue Xin looked at Mi Aya without any surprise and said calmly, “So it’s you.”

Mi Ayya pointed at herself in surprise. “You know me?”

Yue Xin said, “You’re the person who spoke to me on my first day in the Newbie Building. ”

This time, Mi Aya was completely shocked. When she spoke to Yue Xin that day, she didn’t use the same face as today. She didn’t know how Yue Xin could tell. Very few people could recognize her when she was disguised as a different person.

Mi Aya regretted it. Just now, she thought that Yue Xin was a rich young lady who didn’t even know how to climb a tree. But now, she felt like she was being pestered by a poisonous snake. This was the intuition of a killer.

“You discovered me from the beginning.” Mi Aya did not express a question, but a statement.

If Yue Xin had known about her existence long ago, coupled with the process of Yue Xin climbing the tree just now, Mi Aya felt a chill run down her back. Her “clumsy” behavior was probably Yue Xin’s bait to lure her out of the cave.

“Yes, I discovered you, but you didn’t attack me. Instead, you hid in a tree, so I guessed that you weren’t a wolf and wanted to join forces with you,” Yue Xin said calmly, as if she didn’t care that danger was approaching.

Mi Aya held the poisonous needle calmly and looked down at Yue Xin without relaxing at all. “You determined that I’m not a wolf just because I didn’t attack. What if I was just hiding in the tree to observe if you have any companions? Or if I’m just looking for the right time to attack?”

“Fifty-fifty. I just want to take a gamble. If you’re a wolf, I’ll die. If you’re not a wolf, we can work together. Anyway, with my skills, I can’t escape from you without No. 12.”

Mi Aya was surprised for a moment when she heard Yue Xin’s words. Although she had long known that Yue Xin had recently progressed to the ninth floor of Building No. 8, she did not expect this woman to be so crazy deep down. She even gambled with her life.

“Is it beneficial for me to cooperate with you? You know that you’re useless. Before you find No. 12, you need someone to protect you. Once you find No. 12, you might abandon me. This kind of deal can’t be established unless you give the corresponding reward.”

Yue Xin did not panic at all and did not answer the question. She had heard too many such words. She could even guess the other party’s intentions without thinking.

“Mi Aya, in my opinion, from the moment you opened your mouth to expose yourself, you have already answered my question.” Yue Xin was very calm and even had the upper hand in the confrontation with Mi Aya.

Mi Aya didn’t know how this happened. In terms of strength, Yue Xin should be afraid of her, but now, she was the one who was afraid of Yue Xin. She was controlled by Yue Xin.

The current Yue Xin did not seem to be the Yue Xin who had first arrived at the

Newbie Building. Yue Xin’s value was much higher than she had imagined.

“Haha, Yue Xin, you’re very powerful!”

Hearing this, Yue Xin became humble instead. “No, I’m just lucky. If you’re willing to follow me, you’ll also benefit from my good luck.”

Mi Aya jumped down from the tree and walked to Yue Xin’s side. “Only the weak expect the blessing of luck.”

Yue Xin didn’t answer and only asked, “Can you teach me how to climb trees? I want to look at the terrain from a higher place.”

Mi Aya nodded and pointed at the tree behind Yue Xin. “The tree you picked just now is not easy to climb. This one is easy to climb. Let me show you.”

Yue Xin nodded. Then, after Mi Aya’s demonstration, she successfully replicated all her actions and climbed the tree. However, this tree was not tall enough. She could only see the distant scenery and not the full view of the forbidden area..
