Chapter 1931: After the Rewind, Love You Again 06

Ruan Fu pressed a knife against Jin Chen from behind, the words she uttered freezing the air, "Answer my question."

Jin Chen firmly said, "Put down the knife."

Ruan Fu gritted her teeth, "Are you trying to pull another trick and kill me again?"

Jin Chen: "Put down the knife."

Ruan Fu: "……"

After a few breaths, Ruan Fu withdrew the dagger pressing against Jin Chen's back and slipped it into her sleeve, only to have Jin Chen, turning around, seize it reverse-handed.

For some reason, Ruan Fu didn't struggle; her eyes grew darker, she steadied herself in the pulling posture, and stared up at Jin Chen.

Jin Chen slightly furrowed his brows, seeing Ruan Fu's exhaustion, and deliberately lowered his voice so it reached her ears.

"Why aren't you sleeping?"

They were so close that even their breathing could be heard clearly.

Ruan Fu suddenly raised her hand, her cool fingertips pressing firmly against Jin Chen's jaw, a dangerous aura spreading, killing intent fluctuating.

"Is what you said earlier today true?"

Jin Chen, weary, lowered his eyes and thought, "Which sentence?"

"Do you love me?"

As Ruan Fu repeated those three words, she seemed to be suppressing something deep inside; each word was squeezed out of her throat, hoarse and almost inaudible.

If Jin Chen weren't so tired now, or were more on guard against Ruan Fu, he might notice that she is about to break from suppressing her emotions.

Jin Chen raised his brow, embraced Ruan Fu's slim yet strong waist, and easily pressed down the dagger hidden in his right sleeve cuff, the love in his eyes unhidden.

"Yes, I love you."

Hearing those words, Ruan Fu suddenly closed her eyes, expressionless, and returned Jin Chen's embrace.

Then, the left hand that wasn't restrained lifted, and the blade stabbed in fiercely!

Jin Chen: "……"

Damn it!

What's wrong with me loving you?

What's wrong with love!

Blood spattered, flesh pierced through.

Ruan Fu drew the short dagger hidden in her left hand out again, vicious and gloomy, each word deliberate.

"You don't deserve it; what gives you the right to say you love me?"

The startled Ji Luo and Yun Zaozao heard the commotion, then smelled blood, and were instantly stunned; the former thought love is most easily turned into hatred, while the latter regretted letting Ruan Fu act first.

{Host death detected, initiating first rewind of this world… rewind successful! Please cherish your life, speak and act cautiously! }

Jin Chen opened his eyes, weathered.

The sensation of being stabbed through was truly unpleasant; Jin Chen now feels a faint ache.

"Do you love me?"

Those words came again to his ears.

Jin Chen is now so awake he can't stay awake any longer.

For Ruan Fu, this sentence is obviously a bomb that would ignite all her hatred and killing intent.

Jin Chen didn't answer rashly, feeling that any answer would be wrong.

He suddenly frowned, somewhat aggrieved, "Why ask this in the middle of the night?"

Ruan Fu intensified her tone, "Are you trying to evade?"

Jin Chen: "……"

Jin Chen took a deep breath, gently placed his hand on Ruan Fu's shoulder, half-embracing her, and whispered, "Ruan Fu…"

Ruan Fu's hand inexplicably loosened; before she could react, a knife-hand strike chopped her neck, sending a dull pain.

Ruan Fu went limp in Jin Chen's arms.

Jin Chen exhaled in relief.

"It's terrifying."

Jin Chen muttered, gently laying Ruan Fu on the casually spread carpet, unconsciously touching his chest and clicking his tongue.

{Oh~ poor Host. } Ling Gun Gun expressed deep sympathy.

{... Get lost. }

Jin Chen couldn't sleep at all.

He leaned against the wall corner, straightened one leg, looked down at the comatose Ruan Fu, then suddenly glanced at the others in the room.

The night in the holographic game had been altered by programming; although Jin Chen didn't know how Ruan Fu could see clearly, the others indeed found it hard to see.

Jin Chen sat up a bit, lifted Ruan Fu's clothing hem, and slowly revealed the scars.

The pallid abdomen was covered with intersecting scars, some sharp as if cut by reefs, others bluish-purple that wouldn't fade, accompanied by reddened flesh.

Furthermore, three hypertrophic scars, somewhat raised, ran horizontally from chest to abdomen; one could tell without thinking how deep the assailant had stabbed.

Jin Chen remained silent, his fingertips rubbing those scars, a notion gradually forming in his mind.

The next day.

The extremely rich night turned into a sunset dusk.

The sky over the forest grew even more crimson, oppressively so.

Jin Chen woke early and took Ji Luo away.

The two talked at length, deliberately avoiding the area where Yun Zaozao and Ruan Fu were; no one overheard.

But when they returned, Ji Luo's expression was complex; his gaze toward Ruan Fu was hesitant, and he looked at Jin Chen even more complicatedly, finally shaking his head and sighing.

【Detected villain Ji Luo's Blackening Value -10, total 70!】

【Waaah! Host so awesome!】

Jin Chen also didn't expect that the classic 'I'm about to die' scumbag excuse would actually lower Ji Luo's Blackening Value so much.

No wonder you're an awesome little childhood sweetheart!

【But if Ji Luo discovers it's fake, you're in for trouble!】

Don't panic, first keep these villains in check, focus on Ruan Fu.

Ruan Fu gave Jin Chen a cold stare, 'What did you do last night?'

Jin Chen said honestly, 'You keep bothering me, I'm tired, I can only let you sleep obediently.'

Immediately, the other players on the second floor of the wooden house who heard this came over to gossip, their eyes all saying the same thing.

In such a dangerous game, you guys actually got together!

Ruan Fu: '......'

Jin Chen looked innocent, 'Then let me massage you.'

'Get lost.'

The spot on her neck where it was cut still ached faintly; Ruan Fu gritted her teeth, pinched her brow, and turned away, her whole body exuding 'I'm really unhappy.'

Yun Zaozao saw this, her heart inexplicably turned cold, and she laughed ambiguously: 'Jin Ge, why are you sticking to that person's cold face? You should consider me instead.'

Jin Chen: '......'

You'd be more credible if you threw away all that poison.

Seeing Jin Chen not respond, Yun Zaozao wasn't annoyed either, and continued to smile gently.

'I hope we can do a mission together today.'

'Ahhhhh!!'

The first floor of the wooden house suddenly erupted in screams.

Soon someone went upstairs and shouted loudly, 'Someone died again! Come down quickly!'

Soon, all surviving players gathered on the first floor of the wooden house.

In the corner by the window lay a mutilated corpse, its features as if sliced off by something sharp.

On the Carpet beside it were shredded bits of flesh, the face worn smooth to a bloody blur, identifiable only by teammates.

'I... I woke up like this, but I didn't hear anything last night, not a sound!'

The teammate sleeping next to them was frightened, face pale, pupils trembling uncontrollably, terrified they'd be next.

The observant players had already begun examining the corpse, trying to find anything unusual around it, and also speculated that since the wooden house hadn't been opened last night, the killer was likely a monster hiding among the players.

Jin Chen observed for a moment, saw several clumps of white hair at the edge of the Carpet, but a player's footsteps searching for clues swept them away, sticking to his pant leg.

This hair wasn't much like yesterday's rabbit fur; Jin Chen looked at that player doubtfully, then glanced away and focused on Ruan Fu.

Hmm, still pretty fierce.

The wristband vibrated, and the game prompt sounded.
