Chapter 1560: Rubik’s Cube Beauty (22)

“They're all ordinary people. They probably won't even make it out of Sin City alive,” Gong Wei continued.

System: Hahaha, so straightforward.

“You said it yourself—they're ordinary people. Killing them would be meaningless. The ones who want to destroy the Rubik's Cube World aren't these few ordinary people, but the ones hiding behind the scenes. My guess is that they'll always choose ordinary people as pawns. Even if we kill these ones, others will appear.”

“Besides, every city has its own rules. Whether outsiders survive or not depends entirely on their intelligence and luck. Breaking the rules would only bring chaos to the cities. It's not worth it, and there's no need.”

“So what do you intend to do?” Gong Wei had actually realized it himself. Sacrificing themselves to the backlash of the Rubik's Cube World's laws just to kill a few innocent ordinary people who had done nothing wrong simply wasn't worth it.

“Lure the snake out of its hole. The one capable of threatening the existence of the Rubik's Cube World has been hiding in the shadows all this time. What I want is to wait for them to reveal themselves. For now, we'll pretend that we know nothing.”

Gong Wei found her reasoning sound. Besides, he still needed to stay by this woman's side and figure out what exactly had happened to him. Strange thoughts kept appearing in his mind.

Tang Guo closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Gong Wei, however, had no intention of sleeping.

He simply lay there with his eyes open, his head turned toward her, watching her the entire night.

The more he looked, the more he wanted to keep looking.

The more he looked, the harder it became to pull his gaze away.

He even suspected that this woman had learned some secret technique from outsiders, which was why he had become so abnormal.

With Gong Wei's addition, the original team of five became a party of six.

His arrival had indeed made Zhai Chenming suspicious at first.

But after several days, seeing Gong Wei follow Tang Guo everywhere and obey only her, he gradually let down his guard.

Yin Xiaofei couldn't help whispering, “He's practically a loyal puppy.”

“She's beautiful, after all,” Yin Rui replied. “Xiaofei, I'm not trying to make fun of you. You're pretty too, but compared to Tang Guo, you're just lacking a little.”

Yin Xiaofei wanted nothing more than to beat him to death.

Unfortunately, he was right.

Every day, the group either gathered information about the Rubik's Cube World or went to the Happiness Tree to pray and proclaim their happiness.

Without fail, Tang Guo would receive an entire basket overflowing with Happiness Fruits, making everyone around her green with envy.

Zhai Chenming was especially bitter.

After praying for days, he had never received a single Happiness Fruit.

Leaves. Nothing but leaves.

A withered leaf was worth one Rubik's Cube Coin.

A green leaf was worth ten.

It was enough to drive him mad.

The others could usually obtain no more than five Happiness Fruits.

In short, Tang Guo was the anomaly.

And Tang Guo alone was bad enough, but then Gong Wei came along.

Everyone had only heard him casually say, “Happy.”

The next moment, the Happiness Tree gave him a full basket of Happiness Fruits.

At that point, Zhai Chenming's mood completely soured.

Gong Wei's tone had been far less sincere than his own.

That Happiness Tree really was a tree obsessed with appearances.

“Five more days until we rotate to the next city,” Yi Yingxue said worriedly. “But I just learned that transportation within the Rubik's Cube World is random. We might all end up in different cities.”

They were ordinary people.

Happiness City had been relatively safe.

But from the information they'd gathered over the past several days, they had learned that Happiness City was practically the only place without much danger.

Seeing how everyone spoke of the other cities with fear and hesitation, they all understood one thing.

The situation elsewhere was definitely far from good.
