Chapter 34
Chapter 34 Setting a Trap
A girl who wore her brown hair short in a bob was sitting quietly in front of her computer while beaming. She thought excitedly, “Flowing Light finally gets kicked out of the League of Strong Families and dares not to come back.”
She clicked her mouse to make her character in the game dance cheerfully again and again. She felt thrilled as she believed that she saw her impending victory.
Suddenly, an incoming Private Chat message interrupted her train of thought. She grumpily opened the Private Chat channel and was shocked by the message.
Shallow Sleep.: It was great to work together with you. I hope that you can help me one more time.
She wondered, “It was great to work with me?”
She was alerted and sent out a message: What do you mean by that? What’re you talking about? I don’t even know you.
Shallow Sleep.: Didn’t you help us turn the Matchless and the League of Strong Families against each other? You let me pretend to have an “unusual friendship” with Flowing Light to drive a wedge between her and her husband. It was a great idea. Thank you for tipping us off. Otherwise we would have never succeeded.
She frowned and thought, “I just tipped off the gang boss of the Sacred Temple and asked him to never mention me to anyone, even his best buddies in the gang. Why does Shallow Sleep know what I’ve done?”
She tentatively sent out another message: What do you want from me?
Soon enough, she received a reply.
Shallow Sleep: As I said, I hope that you can help me one more time.
She lost her patience and wanted to end this conversation as quickly as she could, so she replied: I can’t help you.
The other party refused to give up and added: Don’t be so anxious to turn me down. Although I don’t know why you, a member of the League of Strong Families, want to help us drive a wedge between Bluegreen-Clad and Flowing Light, I think you will not mind letting their relationship deteriorate further.
Upon seeing that, she was intrigued, excitement flickering within her eyes. She dropped her guard and replied: Are you really interested in that Flowing Light?
Shallow Sleep.: Just tell me if you’ll help me.
She smiled and typed a few words into the chat box: With pleasure.
Shallow Sleep.: Great, I’ve found out that now Flowing Light is at [79,87], a beginners’ region called Bashu. I’ll go to find her now. You’d better come after a while. Remember to take some screenshots.
“This guy is indeed with me.” With this in mind, she replied cheerfully: Okay.
About three minutes later, she arrived at [79,87], the beginners’ region called Bashu. She saw Flowing Light meditating under a tree by herself but did not see Shallow Sleep.
She waited for another two minutes and could not help but send a message to Shallow Sleep: Where are you? Now Flowing Light is alone here. It’s a rare chance.
She was eager to take some screenshots, which she could use to prove that Flowing Light had an affair with Shallow Sleep of the Sacred Temple. She believed that with the help of these “evidences”, she would crush Flowing Light once and for all. Beyond her expectations, Shallow Sleep replied: Evely, it was you.
She was confused and wondered, “What? Yes, I’m Evely. What’s wrong with this Shallow Sleep?”
She checked all the messages from Shallow Sleep carefully and was surprised to find out that his ID was not “Shallow Sleep” but “Shallow Sleep.” and all his information was hidden.
Only then did Evely realize that she had been cheated. She immediately clicked her mouse, planning to make her character run away, but her character somehow got frozen. She watched Flowing Light stand up and approach her character.
[Nearby] Flowing Light: Evely, why did you frame me?
Upon seeing that, Evely thought, “It was Flowing Light who used the ID “Shallow Sleep.” to test me. Hehe. I never expected that a cautious person like me would make such a careless mistake.”
[Nearby] Evely: Since you know everything now, I don’t want to deny. I just hate you. Who do you think you are? Why did you suddenly become the first lady of the League of Strong Families? I just want to plot against you. I just want you to get kicked out of the gang. Do you dare to make this scandal of our gang known to everyone? I am not afraid of you.
When she was shouting at Flowing Light, she received a game message which informed her that she was attacked by player Bluegreen-Clad. In less that 30 seconds, her character lay dead on the floor.
[Nearby] Bluegreen-Clad: So, are you afraid if I say that I’ll hunt you down until you quit the game?
“What? Bluegreen-Clad is here too.” Evely was irritated and thought, “Why does he always protect this b*tchy Flowing Light? Why can’t he pay more attention to me?”
[Nearby] Evely: Boss, I admit that I want Flowing Light to be kicked out of our gang and want her to stay as far away from you as possible. That’s why I came here. I just wanted to find some convincing evidence of her infidelity. Everyone in our gang now knows that she has an affair with Shallow Sleep. I’ve never framed her.
While saying this, she thought, “Fortunately, I was vigilant enough and never admitted that I had used the Sacred Temple to set up Flowing Light. Even if Flowing Light sends screenshots of the conversation between me and that Shallow Sleep to the chat group of the gang, she can not prove anything.”
[Nearby] Evely: Boss, if you want me to quit the game, I’ll quit. You don’t need to hunt me down every day, but no one can prove that Flowing Light is innocent. She can never purge herself of the suspicion and return to the League of Strong Families.
“Maybe I can’t make Bluegreen-Clad hate Flowing Light, but I can make Flowing Light bear this accusation forever.” With this in mind, she clicked to quit the game and never came back.
