Chapter 463
463 Beating Up Lana
Oliver exchanged a nervous look with the others in the room. None of them volunteered to go to the
delivery room with Lana.
“We finally have a lead,” Oliver said, scheming. “One of you can go while I search for the other clues. I
know what to anticipate from the production team.”
No one in the room was foolish enough to believe him. They knew he was only acting.
Aimee was an award–winning actress too. Refusing to play along, she said to Oliver, “Since you were
the one who suggested that we help Lana, why don’t you
no with her?”
The longer they dawdled, the angrier Lana became. She suddenly slammed her fist against the door
and snapped, “Which of you is coming with me?”
Even the audience could tell something was amiss when they heard Lana’s irritation, which bordered
on unhinged, but they couldn’t quite explain it.
“That NPC sure knows how to act,” a viewer commented.
“Why do I feel like whoever volunteers to go with her won’t make it out alive?”
Lana cackled at that moment. “Caught in a dilemma, are we? In that case, I’ll have to take my pick. The
number I call out will be my crime–solving buddy, so be good! Let’s see, shall I pick one, two, three, or
four?
Just then, someone said coolly, “Five. Pick five.” It was Wynter. She had shown up outside the room
and grabbed Lana’s hand.
Lana stiffened in the shadows. “But I-
“The rules say that whoever you choose will be your crime–solving buddy,” Wynter cut her off. She
grasped Lana’s index finger and directed it at herself. “And you have chosen me.”
Lana appeared to be taking deep breaths. “Fine then! Come with me!”
The audience couldn’t see Lana’s expression as she stood away from the cameras.
Tobias didn’t like the long and dark corridor from which Lana emerged. Worried, he told Wynter, “I can
go with her and do recon for the mission while you stay here.”
His intentions were simple–he couldn’t let Wynter go with Lana alone to an unexplored part of the
building. Wynter should stay put in an area that they had already scoped out.
“Mr. Quinnell, when you were on the show last season, were you this kind as well?” Wynter asked out
of the blue. “You’d rather be vanguard than have everyone risk their lives?”
Tobias looked at her oddly. “This is my first time on the show.”
“Have you both decided yet? Who’s coming with me?” Lana interrupted irritably.
463 Beating Up Lana
Wynter did not let go of Lana’s hand I’m coming with you. Lead the way.”
Lana was surprised by how fearless Wynter was. It didn’t matter, though, because Wynter would cry
soon. enough. But little did Lana know, Wynter had something else up her sleeve.
The cameras around did not give Wynter the privacy to do what she needed to, but the other side of
the corridor didn’t have surveillance.
Meanwhile, Dexter was frowning as he demanded, “What the heck is going on with this NPC?”
The production crew came close to stopping the filming, but they were too late.
With a tug. Wynter pulled Lana into the darkness of the corridor. Lana was just as baffled as the
audience when they saw this.
“For a moment, I almost forgot which of them was the NPC,” someone said.
“I was getting kind of freaked out at first, but number five is winning me over with her actions!” another
gushed.
Wynter did not waste her breath on Lana after pulling her into the corridor away from the cameras.
Before Lana could raise her arm, Wynter stabbed her with a needle and pinned her against the wall.
“Give
me the clue.”
Lana’s shadow moved on the wall as if to scare off Wynter.
With one swift move, Wynter stepped on the shadow and said icily. “Tell me the clue before I lose my
patience.”
Lana glowered at Wynter and gritted her teeth. She had no idea who Wynter was, but the fact that the
latter did not fear her made it hard for her to strike.
A conflict between Wynter and the other players might make things interesting.
Playfully, Lana said, “In that case, you can move on to the next level. Congratulations on getting the
clue all by yourself!”
With that, she handed Wynter a card, on which was written a single line. “Everybody loves Mommy!”
