Chapter 588: The Strange Squad

After hearing this, the two of them held their foreheads, feeling that no matter what, they couldn’t reason with this Pei Qianhu before them.

“Fine, fine, fine…” Slack-Off Dog nodded. “We won’t refute you for now, but tell us—if that person really is Sheep Bro, if he really knows what you’re thinking, then what are you going to do?”

After hearing this, Earth-Tiger smiled mischievously: “If all my speculations are accurate, then it means he’ll cooperate with me from the inside and outside! We can see if there are any ‘seeds’ he’s planted!”

Earth-Sheep still had an impatient expression on his face, but Earth-Dog slowly furrowed his brow. He stuck out his long tongue to lick his nose and said: “Elaborate.”

“Look…” Earth-Tiger continued gesturing with his hands. “Assuming he knows that I know, then he’ll definitely find ways to sway the other ‘Zodiacs.’ At that point, we just need to see who’s been swayed!”

“And how will you see that?” Earth-Sheep sneered. “Walk along all the ‘Earth-Level’ doors on the train, going door-to-door knocking and asking ‘Interested in rebelling?'”

“Go to hell!” Earth-Tiger stood up and said, “How could I possibly be stupid to that degree?”

“Even if you’re not stupid to that degree, you’re not far off.” Earth-Sheep sighed. “Are we really going to bet all our lives on your guesses?”

“But Sheep Bro has always been like this!” Earth-Tiger said somewhat excitedly. “He once taught us both that there’s nothing impossible in this world. As long as there’s even a ten percent chance, then it’s a gamble worth taking!”

“But we’re not him!!” Earth-Sheep slammed the table and also stood up, looking very angry. “The bets Sheep Bro dares to make, we don’t dare make! The games Sheep Bro can win, we can’t win! If we were really the same as him, how could we still be ‘Earth-Level’ right now?!”

“Then we should at least try!! Can you fucking become ‘Heaven’ just by talking?!”

Just as the two were about to start arguing, Slack-Off Dog reached out and patted the table, saying: “Stop arguing first… I have a way to verify whether Pei Qianhu’s guess is accurate.”

“What method?” The two looked at him.

Slack-Off Dog revealed a lazy expression, slowly leaning back against his chair, and said: “Didn’t I mention last night? I have some ‘like-minded’ friends. I’ve already given them a heads-up. I told them that if anything happened recently that caused ‘mental turbulence,’ they should come knock on Pei Qianhu’s door. We can wait and see tonight.”

“Aren’t you being way too cryptic?” Earth-Tiger asked with a furrowed brow. “Come knock if you experience ‘mental turbulence’? Is this place a psychological clinic?”

“You’re also fooling around…” Earth-Sheep said. “We’re just relying on ‘waiting,’ waiting for others to knock on the door to deduce Sheep Bro’s plan?! I think you’ve all gone mad… Really mad…”

“We’ve gone mad—are you still sober?” Slack-Off Dog sneered. “Do you really think you’re a ‘sheep’ now? Forgotten that you were once human?”

“What…?”

“You’re used to your black fur, but I’m not used to it.” Slack-Off Dog picked up a fresh grape from the table and tossed it into his mouth. “Sit quietly and wait. If you still have energy, I suggest you loosen up your muscles. What we’re waiting for might not be ‘comrades’—they could also be ‘opponents.'”

After hearing this, both of them let out a deep breath and slowly sat down on their chairs.

The current situation seemed somewhat deadlocked. Although they had established lofty aspirations, they couldn’t take the initiative after all.

All the “Zodiacs” here could potentially be enemies.

What Earth-Sheep hadn’t expected was that in just ten minutes, there came a knock on Earth-Tiger’s door.

This knock sounded very light, as if the person outside was afraid of disturbing those sitting inside.

“No way…?” After hearing the sound, Earth-Sheep glanced at the two. “This fucking…”

“Pei Qianhu…” Slack-Off Dog called out. “Are your students coming back tonight?”

“They shouldn’t be…” Earth-Tiger thought for a moment. “Before coming, I told everyone that today we’d be treating the ‘Earth-Level’ to dinner. They should have all gone back to their own rooms.”

“Then open the door.” Slack-Off Dog’s lips curved upward. “It’s time to reveal the answer.”

Earth-Sheep had nothing to say at this moment, just squinting his eyes watching the direction of the door, until Earth-Tiger stood up to open the door, revealing the figure of the person outside.

It was an Earth-Mouse.

“Oh, are all the leaders here?” Earth-Mouse smiled. “I wonder if my late-night visit might be somewhat presumptuous?”

“You…?” Earth-Tiger felt he wasn’t too familiar with the Earth-Mouse before him. He figured it should be Slack-Off Dog’s friend.

“Corporate Slave Mouse.” Earth-Dog introduced. “My ‘like-minded’ friend.”

“You… come in first…” Earth-Tiger looked the Earth-Mouse before him up and down, feeling that his stature wasn’t very imposing. If they were really going to rebel, he probably wouldn’t count as any powerful help.

Earth-Mouse nodded his thanks, then walked through the door. Looking at the environment inside, he said: “You leaders really have such leisurely elegance—late at night, not eating or sleeping, but gathering here to court death together.”

“What the fuck kind of way is that to talk?” Earth-Tiger asked.

“Oh, Leader, please don’t be too angry. After all, you’re a tiger, and I’m a mouse.” Earth-Mouse waved his hand.

“Good that you know.”

“Among the twelve zodiacs, I rank first, you rank third.” Earth-Mouse smiled. “How dare you get angry at me?”

“You fucking!” Earth-Tiger stepped forward and grabbed Earth-Mouse by the collar. In just a few short sentences, this person had made him furious. “Don’t you know whose room this is? Have you lived long enough?”

“Pei Qianhu.” Earth-Dog called out. “We finally got a teammate—don’t scare him off.”

“What kind of teammate is this?” Earth-Tiger stared with wide eyes at Earth-Dog. “What qualifications does he have to provoke me here?”

“Based on his ‘wisdom.'” Slack-Off Dog said. “The game he designed is exceptionally clever. For many years, no one has been able to find the true solution. Just based on this point alone, he can sit down.”

“You…” Earth-Tiger still felt somewhat unwilling, but now was indeed the time when people were needed. The person before him was also very likely a “seed” planted by Sheep Bro.

“Let go, Leader. Thank you.” Earth-Mouse nodded at Earth-Tiger, then without another word broke free from his grip and came to sit down at the dining table.

The atmosphere among the several people became somewhat silent for a moment. After a while, Earth-Sheep spoke up.

“So why exactly did you come to this room…?”

“Do you even need to ask?” Earth-Mouse smiled. “Leaders, today I encountered a very interesting Participant.”
