Chapter 140 Countermeasures Tian Li was absent-minded and the food in her mouth tasted like chewing wax. She ate the food on the table numbly. She ate very quickly, swallowing the food without much effort; therefore, Xinka only watched Tian Li in front of her eat until her cheeks were bulging. She didn't know what she was thinking, pursed her lips and drank a sip of water in the glass, and said, "Ms. Tian Li, you haven't found the Maisang you are looking for yet." Little did Xinka know that the "Maisang" they were looking for had not been found yet! Tian Li was surprised, but there was no solution at the moment. She didn't have much time to live anyway, so she just asked directly: "Do you know where Mai Sang is?" She didn't expect the other party to tell her this question, she just wanted to throw the can into the ground, but unexpectedly, Xinka smiled suddenly: "Ms. Tian Li, you are quite pleasing to my eye." Tian Li was puzzled as to what the other party meant and waited in silence for the next words. "You can't get out anyway, so it doesn't matter if you tell me. In fact, Maisan..." Xinka paused: "He's already dead." "how do you know?" Tian Li was about to ask, but she lost her voice when she suddenly felt dizzy. She half-lay on the dining table, trying hard to concentrate. Good, dizzy. Has the punishment come yet? Is she going to die? Tian Li tried her best to concentrate and listen to what Xinka said next, but her ears were buzzing and she could no longer tell what the other person was saying from his mouth shape.
She struggled to hold on, but ultimately her body could not hold on. After a while, Tian Li could no longer hold on, she lost consciousness and sank into darkness. The table that originally seated six people for dinner seemed a little empty because one person was missing. Everyone looked at the empty seat, but no one dared to question it. Finally, a female voice said, "Brother Yanxue, you and Sister Ali both work in the hospital. Do you know where Sister Ali is?" It was Shen Linling who said this. The child's outspokenness was like a needle, piercing the "window paper" in the hearts of everyone present. Lin Yanxue lowered her head, and when she heard Shen Linling's question, she just said helplessly: "Sorry, Xiaoling, I went to ask the nurses' office where Tian Li worked yesterday, but they didn't know where Tian Li went." He also remembered Tian Li's warning to him that they should keep a distance in front of others. "Tian Li and I work in different places, and we rarely see each other during the day. I don't know what happened to her." After hearing the bad result Lin Yanxue said, Shen Linling said with a sad face: "Sister Ali, you won't be eliminated, will you?" "I don't think so. No one heard the system prompt that Ali was wiped out. She must still be alive in this copy." Zhang Xincheng said. "But Sister Xincheng, is it possible that the notice of Sister Ali's elimination was released when we were sleeping, so no one heard it?" Shen Linling said in a low voice. What Shen Linling said made sense. After all, if Tian Li was eliminated in the early morning, everyone would be asleep during that time and would naturally miss the news. "Ali..." Zhang Xincheng paused, and was also shaken by the possibility Shen Linling said. She said seriously: "I believe she is still alive." The atmosphere became more subdued during the dinner due to Tian Li's absence. Everyone was silent for a long time. Perhaps it was because the young man was too straightforward. He saw that his favorite sister Xin Cheng was not that concerned about Tian Li's disappearance, and Lin Yanxue did not seem to have been looking for Tian Li's whereabouts. Shen Linling was a little dissatisfied, but she did not know how to bring up the topic again, so she glanced and saw Yin Xingyuan sitting diagonally opposite. "Xiao Yuan, have you heard the news that Sister Ali was eliminated?" This handsome but taciturn boy usually doesn't attract much attention in the crowd. Therefore, he often keeps his head half down and doesn't like to talk. When his name was suddenly called, Yin Xingyuan still didn't look up, but just said lightly: "I don't know." Shen Linling was really disappointed this time. "I think the most urgent thing is to find the final task given to us by the system as soon as possible, otherwise all of us will fail in deduction." Yin Xingyuan changed the subject: "As for those who have been eliminated, let's meet again in the next instance." As soon as these words came out, Shen Linling's resentment was somehow aroused. She asked dissatisfiedly: "Xiao Yuan, do you hate Sister Ali?" Yin Xingyuan frowned and looked up at Shen Linling: "No." The boy's eyes were very dark. Shen Linling was stunned for a moment when she met his gaze, but she still asked what was in her mind: "Then why are you not worried at all when Sister Ali disappeared? I believe others who are not familiar with Sister Ali, but I don't believe you who are not familiar with her." Shen Linling continued, "I heard that in the last instance, you and Sister Ali escaped from the castle together, and you were alone together for several days."
Shen Linling always remembered the kindness that Tian Li showed her in treating her to a meal that night. She believed that it was Tian Li who took care of Yin Xingyuan all the way from the time they escaped from the castle to the time they returned to the palace. "And when you asked for leave a few days ago, it was Sister Ali who brought you dinner!" Yin Xingyuan felt that the words were too unreasonable and he was dissatisfied and disgusted in his heart, but he said comforting words on his face: "To put it bluntly, the deduction mission is just a game. There will be no real death. What I think is that if we complete the mission earlier, we can see Sister Ali earlier." "Okay, Xiaoling." Fearing that his daughter would cause trouble again, Shen's father interrupted. Shen Linling curled her eyes and didn't respond. "Xiao Yuan is right. The simulation will be over in a few days. If all of us fail in the simulation, we don't know what the consequences will be." Zhang Xincheng said the worst possible outcome with a serious face. She looked up at the other two people sitting at another table in front of her, stood up and said, "I'll go call them over."
