Livestream chat room.
"Hahahahaha, this Xu Mo, he doesn't do anything remotely related to normal human behavior!"
"I initially thought Xu Mo wanted to recruit people and expand his operation, but who knew he actually wanted to kick out all the other challengers to get the grand prize faster."
"In the neighboring livestream, there are two idiots thinking about joining Xu Mo. He doesn't even need to make a move; they're delivering themselves right to his doorstep."
"What should have been a simple escape game, these two turned into a battle royale. They're going to be eliminated as soon as they land, delivering themselves straight to the big boss."
"..."
"Knock knock knock," an urgent knocking sound rang out.
As soon as the viewers in the livestream chat heard this knocking, they immediately guessed who it was.
"Hahaha, here they come, here come the delivery boys!"
"They really don't have any sense, still thinking about joining Xu Mo. How could Xu Mo possibly be a good person?"
"These two fools... I bet they'd help count the money after being sold themselves."
Hearing the knocking sound,
Xu Mo instinctively turned his head, his eyes fixed intently on the door.
The knocking was particularly urgent, a constant "knock knock knock" that wouldn't stop.
It was like someone was summoning death.
This definitely wasn't a hotel staff member; they wouldn't knock like this.
As for food delivery... that was even more impossible.
Xu Mo and his group hadn't ordered any food at all.
The Investigation Team?
That was a possibility.
Xu Mo didn't immediately think about whether he had been careless and exposed his whereabouts, nor did he appear particularly flustered.
Instead, he quickly calmed himself down.
Then, Xu Mo looked at the four people, pointed at the door, and said in a low voice, "Go check it out."
While the four went to the door to look through the peephole at who was knocking, Xu Mo carefully observed the layout of the entire suite.
As he observed, he thought about whether there were any other ways to leave the room besides the main door.
After all, he couldn't just sit in the room waiting to be caught.
Meanwhile,
Yang Jingxuan was peering through the peephole.
After a quick look, she immediately turned around and said in a low voice,
"It's not the Investigation Team knocking. It's just two people, one fat and one thin."
"Hotel staff?" An Youyi asked.
Yang Jingxuan shook her head, then moved aside.
"Not them either. They're not wearing hotel uniforms. I feel like these two are acting suspiciously. They look familiar, but I can't remember who they are at the moment. You guys take a look and see if you recognize them."
The next second, Zhou Qiaoqiao also came up to take a look.
Like Yang Jingxuan,
She also felt that the two people standing at the door knocking looked familiar.
And indeed, their behavior was very suspicious.
While knocking, they were also nervously looking left and right down the hallway, their expressions very tense.
Seeing that no one had come to open the door after knocking for so long, one of them got impatient.
"Are you sure about this? Is this the right room? Are you certain Xu Mo is here?"
"I'm sure! It's room 888 in this hotel. I couldn't have remembered it wrong."
"Then put some strength into your knocking! Haven't you eaten? Move aside, let me do it!"
Saying this, the thinner one pushed the slightly fatter one aside.
Now he wasn't just knocking.
He started slapping the door with his hand.
"Bang bang bang..."
While slapping the door, he also said in a low voice,
"Brother Xu Mo, are you in there? We've come to join you! We're also challengers in the show!"
Hearing this, Zhou Qiaoqiao suddenly understood why the two looked familiar.
Weren't they the other challengers from the show?
She had been watching when Xu Mo used his hacking skills to check these people's information earlier.
She had just seen photos of these two half an hour ago.
No wonder they looked familiar!
It was just that she had been a bit nervous earlier and couldn't immediately recall their faces.
At this moment, Zhou Qiaoqiao was a bit dumbfounded.
She knew that Xu Mo wanted to catch the other show challengers.
Who knew that before Xu Mo could even set out to catch them, two unfortunate souls would deliver themselves to his doorstep.
And they wanted to join Xu Mo?
Join what? This was like chickens coming to pay New Year's respects to a weasel!
Outside the door,
The thinner one was still slapping the door.
Suddenly, the door opened.
Zhou Qiaoqiao was the one who opened it.
Standing beside her were Yang Jingxuan, An Youyi, and Li Jiaxin.
Having watched the livestream, the two challengers, one fat and one thin, recognized Zhou Qiaoqiao and the other three.
They knew these were the four helpers by Xu Mo's side.
The moment they saw Zhou Qiaoqiao and the others,
The two immediately let out a sigh of relief.
At this point, Xu Mo, who had heard the door open, also gave up on looking for escape routes and walked over.
Since the four dared to open the door on their own, it meant there was no danger.
At least, the people knocking definitely weren't from the Investigation Team.
However, when he saw the two men, one fat and one thin, standing at the door,
Xu Mo was slightly stunned for a moment.
Then a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
The people he wanted to catch had delivered themselves to his door!
As Xu Mo saw the two, they also saw him.
They immediately felt like they had latched onto a big leg, grabbed onto a lifeline.
The two thought they were finally saved.
Now they didn't have to fear the Investigation Team anymore; they had found their organization!
"Um, Brother Xu Mo, can... can we come in to talk?"
"Sure," Xu Mo said, "Come in."
As he spoke, he took a couple of steps towards the door.
Welcoming the two in.
He stuck his head out to look down the hallway, and after confirming no one was there, he pulled back inside the room.
Close the door, lock it, all in one smooth motion.
After locking the door, Xu Mo looked at the two men before him with a smile.
At this moment, his gaze was like that of a predator sizing up its prey.
The two didn't notice anything wrong with Xu Mo's look.
Seeing Xu Mo smile at them, they actually felt relieved.
Because right now, Xu Mo looked quite friendly!
They thought that after saying a few nice words to Xu Mo, he would accept them.
They even believed that they might not have to pay the daily protection fee of 100,000 yuan, that Xu Mo would protect them for free.
Thinking this, the slightly fatter challenger spoke up to state their purpose.
"Um, Brother Xu Mo, can we discuss something with you..."
After hearing his words, Xu Mo smiled.
It seemed these two fools had no idea of the situation they were about to face.
The next second, the smile disappeared completely from Xu Mo's face.
His expression changed instantly.
He looked at the two with a cold face.
"I was just about to go catch you guys, but I didn't expect you to deliver yourselves. Do you want to faint on your own, or should I knock you out?"
The two: "???"
