Hide and Seek: The Mad Girl Sees All novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144

GiveMeAChance: [Someone just killed another player!]

momo: [What do you mean?]

GiveMeAChance: (Sambadia Live Channel! Hurry up and check Sambadia Live Channel! There’s a girl shooting people with a bow!]

BornToCuss: [Wait, a bow and arrow?]

Another DayAlive: [Hold up, I’m going to watch!]

Instantly, a huge chunk of viewers left the Draconia Live Channel and flooded into the Sambadia Live Channel.

On the screen, a woman with brown skin stood in the doorway, gripping a shortbow, the bowstring still quivering.

Right in front of her, a man was sprawled on the floor, howling in pain, an arrow lodged in his back, blood oozing out around the shaft and spreading across the floor.

The man was Anil from Bharatia.

Sophia didn’t leave. She stepped forward, pressed her foot down on Anil’s back, leaned down, and ripped the arrow out of

him.

Anil let out a scream, clawing at the floor in a desperate attempt to escape, begging for mercy.

Sophia flipped the arrow around, aimed it at his heart from behind, and stabbed it straight in without a second thought

The game’s announcement voice rang out.

[Bharatia player Anil has been captured and declared dead.]

As soon as the announcement ended, the Bharatia Live Channel screen went black.

At Draconia Strategic Command.

“Get a close-up on Sophia in Sambadia.” Garrett shouted.

The Tech Specialist zoomed in right away.

Sophia crouched beside Anil’s corpse, rummaging through his pockets, looting his body.

Ms. Reed sighed. “So for this round, the Hunters really are players after all

Lana kept her eyes glued to the screen as Sophia was still looting Anil’s body. Then she turned and ordered. Get me till dy on the line, now.”

The Tech Specialist responded immediately, “Yes, ma’am!”

Meanwhile, inside the mission, Lil Lily was sitting on the ground, cradling a treasure chest she’d just found she was about to open it when Lana’s voice suddenly rang out in her car.

“Lil Lily, don’t say anything yet. Just listen to me,” Lana said.

Lil Lily froze, her hand hovering over the chest as she blinked in surprise.

“The Hunters this round are players,” Lana said.

Lana rattled off the info, afraid the line would drop before she finished talking.

55 VOLTys

They are Lyra, Lina, Sophia from Sambadia, Alex from Aurelia, Tanaka from Niphonia, Jung-hoo from Hanmark, Blake from Marsupia, Paul from Gallia, Chloe from Mapleland, and Hania from Bahtan, Lana continued.

Lil Lily’s eyes went wide, her mouth hanging open. ‘Are you serious?’

Lana didn’t pause. “These ten players are strong and well equipped, have used teammates as shields, or come from countries down to one or two zones. That’s why the game chose them as Hunters. They won’t hesitate to attack the remaining players.”

Lil Lily swallowed hard. ‘Wait, what?

“You might not know all these players, but remember, trust no one. Once the Hunters start their killing spree, even the regular players could start attacking others just to stay alive,” Lana continued.

Lana spoke faster, the communication timer ticking down.

“The Hunters are undercover, and the game gave them all sorts of weapons, throwing knives, bows, even hidden tools. Oh and Alex has a Checkmate Card that can paralyze someone completely,” Lana added.

“We still don’t know what the Hunters need to do to win, so stay sharp. Don’t split up from Janey, stick together, no matter what!” Lana urged.

The moment Lana finished speaking, the call dropped.

Lil Lily sat on the floor, hugging the treasure chest, her mind blank as she tried to process what just happened.

“Wait, Goddess Lyra is a Hunter?’ she thought, her mind spinning.

‘Lina is a Hunter too?’

‘And Alex, the guy who tried to trick me into teaming up, he’s a Hunter as well?’

Jane drifted over, noticing Lil Lily just sitting there, not even touching the treasure chest. She floated up to her and asked. “What’s wrong?”

Lil Lily looked up at Jane, blinking a couple of times. “Big Sis Lana just contacted me.”

Jane’s expression changed. ‘She’s using the comms already? The Hunters just showed up a few minutes ago, and she’s already reaching out, something must’ve happened.

Jane’s soul power instantly spread out, wrapping Lil Lily in a shimmering barrier. In the next moment, both of them vanished from the Live Channel.

“What’s going on? Tell me everything.” Jane said, floating right up to Lil Lily.

Lil Lily lowered her voice, sounding nervous. “Big Sis Lana just told me, the Hunters this round are actually players.”

Jane’s soul seemed to tremble for a second.

“Goddess Lyra is a Hunter, Lina too, and Alex,” Lil Lily said, counting on her fingers. “And there’s one from Niphonia, one from Hanmark, and…”

She frowned, trying hard to remember. “Oh, and someone from Sambadia…”

Lil Lily’s cheeks flushed a little. “There are ten in total, but I didn’t catch the names of the last few.”

Jane shook her head. “It’s fine. As long as we know the Hunters are players, that’s enough. What else did the Chief Advisor say?”

“She said we shouldn’t split up. The Hunters have weapons, even hidden ones, and Alex has an item that can totally lock someone in place, you can’t move at all,” Lil Lily replied..

Jane nodded, running through the info in her mind.

‘So the Hunters are actually players, ten in total, their identities concealed, each armed with their own weapons No wonder I couldn’t sense any Wraith presence,’ she thought.

“Lil Lily,” Jane said, floating over to her side. “Don’t be scared.”

Lil Lily looked up at her.

“Even if someone tries to kill you, they don’t stand a chance against me,” Jane said, her voice steady, like she was just stating a fact. “My soul power blocks all physical attacks, arrows, throwing knives, whatever. They won’t even get close to you.”
