Chapter 1056: Oh my, survival variety show meets an ex! 26
Yu Sui's expression was firm, full of confidence, "I won't lose." After saying that, they lightly rubbed Jin Chen's palm, looked up at him, and asked, "Who is the witch?"
"I don't know."
Jin Chen also fell into thought.
"Right now only Shen Yi and Su Nai are women, so it must be one of them."
Just in the water prison, neither of them showed any intention to save anyone.
If before it was just speculation, now we can be certain that the ten of them are the "players" selected to come in, each with their own possibly different goals, but all related to that set of serial codes.
And the one whose identity wasn't discovered by the person behind the scenes, plus Xie Shao, were purely brought in to cover up.
Yu Sui: "You said earlier, the stone tablet is the prophet, and also the witch and the hunter."
"Who is the hunter?"
Jin Chen thought for a moment, then extended a finger to poke Yu Sui's nose tip.
"It's you, you unlucky bastard."
Yu Sui: "..."
Dejected, they lowered their eyelids, face scrunched up, "I don't know."
"I haven't seen anyone else."
"It's not that I doubt you, it's those people above."
Jin Chen said, soothingly kissing Yu Sui's forehead and stroking their head, "Do you still remember what that person said when you took this mission?"
Yu Sui knew the person Jin Chen referred to was the head of the China Region, "Bo Shu told me to obtain the serial code, not be disturbed by others, and I can kill if I encounter danger."
Jin Chen hummed, gave a detailed explanation, and finally said, "Being able to kill when killed is also the hunter's ability."
By the same token, Jin Chen pondered for a moment, "Perhaps the rule the witch received is to carry medicine that can neutralize the werewolf killing."
After all, among the few people outside, aside from Xie Shao, the rest all have their own affiliated organizations behind them.
Yu Sui wondered, "Is the purpose the code?"
Jin Chen: "Several organizations cooperate, with the person behind the scenes completing the deserted island layout, selecting a few of you as agents, sending you in, after which you each act independently for them to find the serial code."
"The one who survives and obtains the code makes their organization victorious."
Jin Chen said, making a gun gesture with his finger and poking Yu Sui's forehead, "Everyone else will die."
Yu Sui's heart jolted, their expression suddenly sank, and their fingers clenched slightly.
"I have been abandoned by the organization." Their tone was somewhat bewildered.
They did not feel this was the organization's trust in them.
If it were just about winning, they could easily send a super S-rank agent to take the mission.
But the higher the agent rank, the harder the training; otherwise, when Jin Chen left earlier, the organization wouldn't have remained stagnant for so long.
Whether dead or alive, Bo Shu doesn't care about their fate; anyway, the code will eventually be made public and divided among several organizations.
Jin Chen pulled them into an embrace before the Blackening Value rose, gently patting their back, "All right, don't be sad."
"Bo Li is an idiot, abandoning us Xiao Sui is a huge loss!"
Yu Sui's eyes were full of bewilderment, they sniffed in Jin Chen's embrace, their nose lightly rubbing his chest, sulkily saying, "The code, I'm not looking for it."
"Find it, of course we must."
Jin Chen kneaded the youth's neck, his low voice carrying a hint of untamed wildness.
"We'll get the code in hand and play them to death."
"Then we'll sell it at a high price to the organizations not involved, to piss off Bo Li."
Yu Sui listened quietly, blinking lightly, "What will I do from now on?"
Having joined the organization since childhood, with no family or friends, where could they go after leaving it?
But if they truly let bygones be bygones and continued working for the organization, that would also be impossible.
"Follow me."
Jin Chen's tone was matter-of-fact, "All that fighting is exhausting; big brother has taken Xiao Sui to experience a good life."
Those words made Yu Sui freeze for a moment, they lifted their head to look at Jin Chen's smiling eyes, the words they'd been holding in their heart about to spill out.
"Jin Chen—"
"Where are you going—"
Shen Yi was calling out.
Yu Sui wanted to ask if they were getting back together, but swallowed the question, tiptoed to kiss Jin Chen's lip corner.
Within their slightly reddened eye sockets, the sadness was gone, replaced by a faint shy joy.
Then they hurried back.
The whole action was too fast; Jin Chen didn't even have time to react, he touched his lips, laughed, and slowly followed behind.
【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value 5, total 75!】
"What are you doing?"
Jin Chen returned to the exit passage, picked up the camera on the ground and helped Yu Sui put it on, casually saying, "Don't say you found another corpse."
"Oh no, it's not that."
Shen Yi leaned against the side, arms crossed, "I want to tell you something about He Chao."
"You speak."
Jin Chen glanced at her.
"The day Bai Xuan died, I was closest to her; I originally wanted to go comfort her because she looked so scared."
Shen Yi spoke while lowering their head to recall, "But at the time I saw He Chao sneak past, so I gave up."
"Now thinking about it, when He Chao passed by, the movement was minimal, unnoticed by anyone. So I suspect the killer might be him."
What is Shen Yi saying? How could the murderer possibly be He Chao! He's just an entertainment industry singer—could he kill someone?
My goodness, what time is it now—people upstairs still think there are innocent people in here… but I think everyone here is a killer.
It's strange to say this now—is it because you saw Jiang Ting get killed and only then remembered?
Jin Chen obviously thought the same.
"Why only now suspect He Chao? Didn't you notice that day?"
Shen Yi frowned, pointed outside, and said, "Because just now I saw He Chao contacting someone else, and what he said was also strange—I suspect he might be the mastermind."
"He definitely has the mindset of wanting to kill everyone."
Her tone was a little urgent—the urgency of her life being threatened—"To be honest, before I thought it had nothing to do with me, but what if someone dies tonight too?"
After hearing that, Jin Chen drew out his sigh.
This sister guessed correctly.
Unfortunately the formula was correct, but they changed the test paper midway.
Jin Chen spread his hands, "Then there's nothing I can do."
He patted his right leg, "My leg is lame."
"【…You were just acting with your left leg.】 0731 couldn't resist reminding."
Jin Chen then patted his left leg, face unchanged, "Both legs hurt—an old ailment."
Shen Yi looked at Yu Sui and said, "As long as we temporarily cooperate, I can provide more clues you don't know—on the condition that Yu Sui must protect my life."
"Unknown clues, for example?" Jin Chen asked, thinking to himself.
Shen Yi suddenly stopped speaking, shook his head, and said, "You want me to say this in front of the camera?"
Jin Chen raised an eyebrow, "Sure, cooperation."
"Then I'll go first, you… continue."
Shen Yi's expression lightened again, he made a joke and left the passage.
Looking at her back, Yu Sui tilted his head toward Jin Chen and asked, "Is she trustworthy?"
Jin Chen bent down, cupping Yu Sui's face, gazing into her eyes as dark as ink, his voice soft, "Besides trusting each other, we cannot trust anyone."
Yu Sui's ear tips reddened; he couldn't avoid it, "Okay."
"Only trust you."
