Chapter 131: Mouyu Village - Meeting
"Open the door right now and follow me down to attend the meeting. Do you hear me? Otherwise, you will become an enemy of all of us!"

Lucas spoke in a fierce voice, and after he pounded on the originally thin wooden door for a while, it felt like it was about to break open at any time.

Ji Yu originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but the other party's attitude was very clear, and it was obvious that he would not give up until he achieved his goal. Lucas kept saying that he would involve the other Chosen Ones as well, so it would be best not to anger everyone at this moment.

"It seems that this matter will not be settled unless I go out."

Having said that, he was about to open the door.

Lan Tong said kindly, "I'd better go with you."

Ji Yu hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Before leaving, the two of them picked up the same red candles as everyone else.

When I opened the door, I saw a figure standing at the door.

The candlelight was miserable and dim, stretching Lucas's shadow against the dim wall behind him and illuminating the sinister smile on his face.

"Wouldn't it be better if you just came out earlier? I thought you had the guts to go against everyone."

Lucas looked dirty, and when you got closer you could smell a mixture of sweat and earth. It seemed that the afternoon's mission had taken him a lot of effort.

Ji Yu glanced at him coldly, then took Lan Tong downstairs as if he had seen nothing.

The living room was quite large, with long rows of wooden sofas packed with people. Candles were burning quietly on the coffee table.

It's like the last corner of light before the world is swallowed by darkness.

When everyone saw Ji Yu bringing Lan Tong down, they all had a look of secret joy on their faces that was hard to conceal.

Lilika was sitting in the middle of the sofa. When she saw the two of them, she winked at Asakawa Koji and said as if she was telling a servant, "Go get a stool for Ji Shen and the woman next to him."

Koji Asakawa agreed hurriedly and went to the yard to get two benches.

"Master Ji, please take a seat. Miss Lan, you also take a seat."

"Thank you."

Ji Yu didn't care about sitting on the bench.

After all, he didn't think Lan Tong wanted to squeeze in with that group of people.

Of course Lan Tong would not squeeze on the sofa with them, because there was not enough space on the sofa. In order to squeeze together, they even sat on the back of the sofa.

Lucas returned to Lilica. There were only two people in the room without seats, standing by like slaves ready to serve everyone at any time.

One is Koji Asakawa, and the other is from Aidunoke Country, the one who yelled for kimchi during lunch.

Lilika, who was in the center, said, "Okay, now that everyone is here, we can start exchanging information. I believe that everyone will contribute to world peace and will not hide any information. The live broadcast camera must be here, so please be clear about what you are going to say later."

Lan Tong always felt that the number of people was not right. She counted the number of people and found that including her and Ji Yu, there were only 23 people in the living room.

"Why are there fewer people?" she asked.

Lilika's expression was a little unnatural, and she didn't take the initiative to respond to the conversation.

Koji Asakawa said, "The missing Chosen One is my team partner. During the mission, he said he was hungry and wanted to go to the mountains to have a look, but he never came back. We guess he may have met with an accident." Lan Tong looked at this man with some complicated feelings. He was so calm when he spoke, and he even felt apologetic that he was wasting everyone's time by talking about this in such an occasion.

"Where's the other one?"

Lucas said angrily, "If he's not here, he must be dead. Why do you keep asking? Don't you think asking this kind of question is causing panic among people?"

"Since we need to share intelligence, personnel changes must be shared first. If we can't even give a precise and realistic reason for the death, then what's the point of sharing it?"

Lucas was choked by Lan Tong's words. He glared at Lan Tong fiercely and shut his mouth.

The man sitting on the other side of Lilika couldn't sit still. In fact, Lan Tong noticed that his mood suddenly became a little strange when he mentioned the few people.

"The other one... the other one is my partner." The man said, "My name is Axl, and the one who died is my partner Ole. He... he went to see the village chief because he was dissatisfied with the way the villagers stamped the documents... and then he never came back!"

Lucas sneered and said, "I told you not to keep asking. Is it fun to bring up other people's sad stories?"

Before Lan Tong could say anything, Axe's emotions suddenly fluctuated violently. He pointed at Lucas and shouted, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't asked Ole to go find the village chief, he wouldn't have died! Ole's death is all because of your wrong decision!"

Lucas was stunned, obviously not expecting the situation to suddenly turn out like this.

He said angrily: "Why do you blame me? It was because he failed to do his job well that the village chief killed him! Otherwise, why did other groups also go to the village chief and they didn't die, but your partner died?"

"You...you despicable person! How dare you say that about him...He is the most outstanding Chosen One in our Kangaroo Country...We should not cooperate with you! You are so shameless!"

There was anger burning in Axel's scarlet eyes, but he didn't dare to do anything to Lucas. He could only watch his tears fall one by one.

Lilika noticed the strange looks from everyone, cleared her throat, and said, "High-level dungeons are inherently dangerous. The death of the Chosen One is normal. You can't question all of us because of the death of one person. This is unfair and biased."

Lucas immediately followed up, "Yes, everyone is at risk in the dungeon. You can't blame me for his death."

Axe said, "You are just jealous of Ole's talent! That's why you deliberately asked him to go to the village chief. Otherwise, there are so many people doing the mission together, why did you choose him?"

"Haha, that only means that I made a mistake in judgment."

Lucas shrugged shamelessly, "Who told Ji Yu not to join our team? If Ji Yu came, he would be the one making the decision. I don't have as much experience as him, so of course I can't make a 100% correct decision. If you want to blame someone, blame Ji Yu for being too selfish."

Ji Yu: “…”

Lan Tong wanted to give Lucas a 6, and this could be linked to Ji Yu.

Axe stood up and shouted, "Stop making excuses for your mistakes! What does this have to do with Ji Yu? He clearly did nothing!"

Compared to Axe, Lucas' attitude was obviously much calmer, and he showed more contempt for Axe. It seemed that he knew that no matter how angry Axe was, he would not dare to do anything to him.

"It's because he didn't do anything that everything is his fault. He is clearly the most experienced person among us, so why is he so selfish? If he had done the multiplayer mission with us, Ole wouldn't have died at all. This is all Ji Yu's fault!"

Ji Yu sat aside and listened for a long time, and finally couldn't help but hear this sentence.

"Can you try saying something again?"

He had been silent for a long time and suddenly blurted out these words, making the already tense atmosphere in the room even more depressing.
