Chapter 1166

Hearing these words, Lin Yi turned his head to glance at Facing Huo Jinglin, then looked back at Ning Chen, pouting as he complained.

"Oh, Brother Ning, everyone is different; just because Jinglin can do this doesn't mean I can't."

By now, Facing Huo Jinglin and Gu Yanqi had completely understood what Ning Chen was doing.

He was verifying the identity of this 'Lin Yi'.

If it were the real 'Lin Yi', he would never have said such things, because what Ning Chen said about who liked whom was completely reversed.

It was Facing Huo Jinglin who liked the girl from that building, while Lin Yi himself liked Yang Mi.

Such a thing could absolutely not be mixed up; the only possibility was that the 'Lin Yi' before them was not Lin Yi.

Thinking of this, Facing Huo Jinglin's face turned grave; he looked at Ning Chen, his eyes asking what to do.

Ning Chen merely glanced indifferently at Facing Huo Jinglin, then looked at 'Lin Yi' and said, "Fine, I'll support whatever decision you make; everyone is tired today, so let's all rest well in a while."

Saying this, Ning Chen came to the center of the living room and looked at everyone: "So, tonight, Xu Yue and Yanqi will sleep together, Xu Ri you will sleep with Jinglin, and Lin Yi, you will still sleep in the living room."

Xu Ri did not quite understand Ning Chen's words; he and Xu Yue were clearly staying here for the first time today, so why say "tonight still"?

Before Xu Ri could voice his doubt, Facing Huo Jinglin, who had been observing from the side, immediately spoke up: "Lin Yi, a bet is a bet; you lost rock-paper-scissors to us, so you can only sleep on the sofa."

'Lin Yi' shrugged, sat on the sofa, and waved his hand, saying, "Ah, it's fine, it's fine; the sofa is actually quite comfortable."

Seeing this, Xu Ri also closed his mouth and said no more.

"Alright, there's still some time before evening; everyone go rest first, come out for dinner in a while; I'll cook today."

After speaking, Ning Chen walked to the driver's seat and then sat down comfortably.

Meanwhile, Gu Yanqi and Facing Huo Jinglin also respectively took Xu Yue and Xu Ri to the rooms.

Ning Chen sat in the driver's seat, discussing with Xiao Han, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

The two linked their abilities together, allowing them to communicate without speaking.

They had discovered this ability during a night chat before, but simply hadn't mentioned it until now.

Xiao Han: 【Something is wrong with him.】

Ning Chen: 【Of course something is wrong; this Lin Yi is not the real Lin Yi at all. If I'm not mistaken, he is probably...】

Xiao Han: 【A high-level Infected. Truly unexpected; high-level Infecteds even have this function. What is this called? Copying?】

Ning Chen: 【Mm, seems so. Fortunately, it cannot completely copy a person; it can only copy their appearance.】

Xiao Han: 【What do you plan to do? Now Lin Yi's fate is unknown, and this one is probably a high-level Infected.】

Ning Chen: 【Take it one step at a time. First, we must see what this high-level Infected intends to do. As for Lin Yi, he will be fine; I set up a protective shield for him before, and that shield has not yet disappeared.】

During this discussion, the people in the two rooms briefly explained the situation to Xu Yue and Xu Ri, who were still unaware of the truth.

Xu Yue covered her mouth and whispered into Gu Yanqi's ear: "Sister Yanqi, so the one outside is not the real Brother Lin Yi?"

Gu Yanqi nodded, her face turned grave: "That is likely the case; I suppose Brother Ning must have discovered this, which is why he is testing him like this."

Xu Ri: "Since the one outside is fake, what do we do? We can't possibly stay with such a time bomb."

Facing Huo Jinglin shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet, but I think Brother Ning must have his own ideas; for now, we just need to follow Brother Ning's orders."

Xu Ri looked at Facing Huo Jinglin and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why do you all trust Ning Chen so much? I feel that whether it's you, Gu Yanqi, or the real Lin Yi, you all seem to trust Ning Chen unconditionally; even Xiao Han never contradicts him."

Hearing Xu Ri's question, Facing Huo Jinglin paused for a moment, then looked toward the door, as if trying to see through it to the outside.

"Brother Ning is powerful, has a mind, and never drags his feet in action. We have all, to some extent, been saved by Brother Ning. Moreover, he respects us and asks for our opinions; how could we not listen to him?"

Xu Ri did not expect that Facing Huo Jinglin, who had always seemed cold, would hold such an opinion of Ning Chen.

Xu Ri's judgment of people was very accurate; compared to Ning Chen, who was simply too lazy to bother with people, Facing Huo Jinglin was clearly the coldest among the group.

He could completely ignore things unrelated to him, just as he had treated Xu Ri and Xu Yue when they first joined them.
