When Mu Anan asked the question, Zhang Yun was stunned for a few seconds. It was because Mu Anan’s aura was too strong and she was intimidated.
It was unknown if it was because of a problem.
After Zhang Yun was done with her shock, she nodded. “It’s like this.”
“Has anyone completed the ninth step?” Mu Anan asked.
Zhang Yun immediately shook his head. When Mu Anan mentioned the ninth grade, her expression was both fearful and subtle.
It was as if the existence of tier 9 was unattainable.
When she mentioned it, her emotions were different.
Mu Anan didn’t say anything. She continued to ask, “What’s the highest they can go?”
“Silver Bureau.” Zhang Yun said.
Mu Anan was terrible. “Level 3 or 4 Silver?”
“Even if it’s the Bronze Bureau, it’s not at the level of the boxing ring outside. The people in the boxing ring are all demons.”
“Yes.” Zhang Yun nodded seriously. Her face was filled with fear. ’Moreover the only characteristic of this ninth-rank boxing ring is chaos. In the boxing ring, some people use underhanded moves, some sneak attacks, and some use despicable methods. The referee won’t care about these. The referee will only care if the person in the boxing ring falls and can’t get up.”
“Even if someone doesn’t want to be beaten down and play dead, they will still be dealt with in the end.”
Mu Anan listened quietly to Zhang Yun’s narration.
When Zhang Yun said this, her voice could not help but tremble. She was very afraid of the rules of this place.
Here, human lives were like grass.
It was too difficult to survive.
Mu Anan did not seem to mind. Her expression was calm.
After all, she had already been sent to this place. It was useless even if she was afraid.
Moreover, in such a situation, the more afraid they were of death, the faster they would die.
Mu Anan stared at Zhang Yun and asked, “Have you been here for a long time?” “What?” Zhang Yun did not expect Mu Anan to ask her about it. She shook her head. “Not long.”
“How long is not long?”
“I don’t know.” Zhang Yun said.
Mu Anan did not understand.
Zhang Yun explained, “There’s no time here. We were just told to go to a designated room to take care of the contestants. If the contestants fail, we will return to where we live and wait for food to be delivered to our door every day, as well as missions from time to time.”
Hearing Zhang Yun’s explanation, Mu Anan felt that she was living in a prison cell.
“How many times have you come out to take care of them?”
“You’re third.” Zhang Yun said, “The first two died in the Bronze Game. You’re the only one. You’re a girl.”
After saying that, Zhang Yun stole a glance at Mu Anan’s face.
Mu Anan was not old, and she looked young. Even though her expression was very calm, she still looked young.
Mu Anan didn’t say anything else because there were no more questions.
She stood up from her chair and walked out of the French window.
The sun was setting outside as usual, illuminating every inch of the earth.
Even in such a dark and suffocating place, sunlight could still shine.
Mu Anan touched the curtains and pulled them back. The room immediately fell into darkness.
Mu Anan turned around and asked Zhang Yun a question. “Have you never thought about leaving? Do you want to serve here forever until you die of old age?”
“No, I haven’t.”
“Because of the digital control bracelet?”
This place is very safe.” Zhang Yun said something that Mu Anan could not quite understand.
At the same time, Zhang Yun turned on the lights in the room.
Mu Anan turned her head and closed her eyes to prevent the bright light from hurting her eyes.
Zhang Yun said, “Miss, I came to see if you’re awake. Since you’re awake, I’ll go prepare some food for you.”
With that, Zhang Yun nodded at Mu Anan and left the room.
Mu Anan didn’t stop her. She watched as Zhang Yun left, then walked back to the chair and sat down.
At first, she thought about Zhang Yun’s words “This place is safe”, but then she stopped thinking about it and focused all her thoughts on the reason why she appeared here.
According to the Jiang family’s three idiots, they would either keep her alive to ask her about the secret of her mother’s smart medicine or torture her to death.
If she was sent to a brothel, Mu Anan would believe that Guo Yuehua was torturing her and putting her in the most despicable place.
Therefore, putting her in the ninth-rank boxing ring was the intention of the person behind Jiang Feng.
It was…
Mu Caijie?
To be precise, it was a fake Mu Caijie!
Mu Anan thought for a long time but could not figure out what this fake Mu Caijie wanted to do.
According to Mu Anan’s thoughts, if she were Mu Caijie, she would target the Seventh Master and the people around him.
Since there was another fake Mu Anan on the Seventh Master’s side, there was no need for the real Mu Anan to exist at all.
Murder.
It was the most convenient and safest action.
However, sending someone to the boxing ring, and knowing that Mu Anan had been practicing boxing since she was young, was confusing.
Mu Anan thought for a long time but could not figure out what the fake Mu Caijie was up to.
Mu Anan only stopped thinking about it when Zhang Yun came over with the food.
She couldn’t think of anything. She didn’t want to think about it anymore.
The key now was to stay alive.
Boxing?
Coincidentally, Black Tea had always said that it was not easy for her to practice boxing when she grew up. She did not have the blood to learn boxing, so it was fine if she met ordinary people, but if she met someone who had been in the life and death arena, it would not be enough to die.
It was a good opportunity to train herself.
Thinking of this, Mu Anan ate her meal calmly.
Mu Anan was hungry after all the trouble and injuries, so even though the food was not delicious, she still ate her fill.
While Mu Anan was eating, she could feel that Zhang Yun was looking at her with a strange gaze.
Mu Anan ignored her. She only turned to look at Zhang Yun after dinner. “Why do you keep looking at me?”
Being caught red-handed and even asked directly, Zhang Yun was also stunned for a moment. Then, she said in a panic, “I-I just think that Miss is very special.”
Because she was too flustered, Zhang Yun spoke in her own country’s accent. “Ordinary players basically can’t eat at this time. Either they’re so scared that they don’t know what to do, or they’re so excited that they want to get into the ring immediately, but this, this…”
Zhang Yun couldn’t find a word to describe it.
“So calm?” Mu Anan replied.
Zhang Yun immediately nodded, and a light shone in her green eyes. “It’s this word. I’ve never been able to learn it.”
Mu Anan didn’t say anything. She just looked at Zhang Yun and felt that she looked a little familiar.
Golden hair, smoky blue eyes.
It looked like Curly Hair.
Mu Anan had thought that this woman might be Curly Hair’s mother when she was holding Zhang Yun.
But the name was different.
“Have you always been called this?” Mu Anan suddenly asked.
Zhang Yun’s expression paused for a moment before she nodded. “I’ve been in
China since I was young.”
“Oh.” Mu Anan only replied.
As soon as she replied, the bell in the room suddenly rang.
The ringtone lasted for 30 seconds before it stopped.
Mu Anan looked at Zhang Yun.. “What does this ringtone mean?”
