Chapter 1934: After the Rewind, I Love You Again 09

The puppet moved in a strange posture before them.

Xiao Xiong saw their miserable state; his earlier angry tone instantly turned meek.

"Hehehe! How pitiful~"

"Please help me find the puppet toy! Complete your collection task~ But there are too many of you survivors!"

Xiao Xiong looked embarrassed, paws together, head down, muttering: "So, in that case… only one person per team can survive."

After saying that, without looking at the players' reactions, covering his mouth and chuckling: "The player who first finds the puppet's weakness and turns it into a little toy wins! You can freely choose who gets to survive~"

This literally seals the survivors' mouths!

Six players participated in the collection task, yet in the end at most only three could survive!

After hearing the rules, Ruan Fu silently stared at the puppet controlling life and death and Xiao Xiong, her gaze heavy.

In such an extremely oppressive tense atmosphere, it's basically impossible to focus and think.

Zheng Niu wished he could grow six pairs of eyes to examine every inch of this tall puppet.

Bai Tao quickly broke down, tears streaming uncontrollably, muttering that she didn't want to die, yet her mind was blank, unable to think of anything.

The 5-minute countdown ticked by, minute by minute, second by second.

Jin Chen and Ruan Fu were the quietest, each wanting to finish the task first.

Jin Chen had no doubt that if Ruan Fu succeeded, she would definitely choose to let him die.

He had already thought of a way for both to survive, so he must obtain the right to choose.

3 minutes 25 seconds

……

2 minutes 15 seconds

……

53 seconds

……

In the final minute, Ruan Fu's fists, bound behind the tree trunk, clenched tightly, and she pressed the control stick almost simultaneously with Jin Chen.

Eyes!

The puppet's weakness is its eyes.

Two arcs of light shot at the puppet, but only one hit the eyeball; the slower other missed.

Ruan Fu's expression fell into a brief blankness, then she let out a sigh and slightly lowered her gaze.

Jin Chen was still faster than him.

Bai Tao and Zheng Niu, seeing this, immediately begged Jin Chen loudly to let them survive; teammates who had cooperated amicably yesterday now tore at each other's faces, wishing to kill the other with their own hands for their lives.

Xiao Xiong waddled up to Jin Chen's side, holding two small puppets in its paws, "Hehe! Congratulations on completing the task."

"Then please choose the player who will survive in your team."

As if echoing its words, the chain clinked again, the wooden planks fell faster, now less than twenty centimeters from the scalp!

Jin Chen hesitated not: "Me."

Ruan Fu's expression showed no change; hearing that answer was no surprise, she merely furtively felt behind her waist.

There she still hid a dagger.

The chains on Jin Chen fell away; in the instant he regained freedom, his figure flickered.

"Mmph!!!!"

Xiao Xiong had just handed the puppet toy to Jin Chen, but instead was stepped on its paw, kicked back a few steps; by the time it reacted, Jin Chen had nimbly leapt onto its back.

S—

The dagger slit Xiao Xiong's fur.

Its eyes instantly turned red, it snorted angrily.

"How dare you hurt Xiao Xiong!!"

Jin Chen: "Nonsense."

"If I don't kill you, am I supposed to watch my wife die?"

Jin Chen sprang from Xiao Xiong's back, muscles tensed, like a leopard pouncing, using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds, he kicked the three-meter-tall Xiao Xiong over from behind onto the ground!

Thud!

Xiao Xiong's fuzzy head smashed into the nail-studded wooden board, getting pierced through!

Jin Chen stepped on his shoulder for leverage, lifting the bound Ruan Fu down.

Damn……

Xiao Xiong finally raised its heavy paw in anger, trying to smash them; Ruan Fu, still dazed from being held, reacted instinctively, the short dagger hidden at her waist shot out and pierced the paw.

All the falling iron plates halted their descent.

The other players, terrified to the extreme, stared blankly at Xiao Xiong's corpse on the ground, unsure how to react, and also blankly looked at the somewhat out-of-breath Jin Chen.

Just who is this guy?! Others do tasks, but he killed a mini‑boss in the death game!

Jin Chen held Ruan Fu as he jumped down from Xiao Xiong's corpse, using the hold to steady himself somewhat weakly, his chin resting on her shoulder, his voice hoarse.

"Don't move, I'll rest a bit."

This bear is dead weight.

Ruan Fu's body tensed slightly, she struggled to suppress the rising strange emotion, and whispered: "Why did you save me?"

The game rules are like that—only one can survive, right?

Jin Chen hesitated, silent for a few seconds, then tightened his hold on Ruan Fu's arm: "I won't say; if I did, you'd get angry again."

"What…"

Ruan Fu frowned, just about to ask what it meant, but then recalled Jin Chen's words from yesterday, and her gaze became dazed for a moment.

I love you.

Jin Chen still repeated it for him to hear, his fingertip hooked Ruan Fu's waist through her clothes, saying, "You made me say this."

Ruan Fu: "……"

Ruan Fu didn't know how to react.

Since picking up this life, he has scoffed at past 'love,' his heart filled only with the desire to kill the murderer who drove him to this point.

But meeting Jin Chen again in the game, this person is completely transformed, utterly different from before.

What makes Ruan Fu feel even more endangered is that she is gradually adapting to this change.

What's the difference between this and suicide?

Ruan Fu pushed Jin Chen away, her voice still icy.

I want to hear the truth.

Jin Chen straightened up, chin slightly lifted, gesturing for Ruan Fu to look behind him.

All that could be seen was a bright gold coin flying out of the huge corpse of the little bear.

"Clearance gold coin!" the freed White Peach exclaimed, unable to restrain her desire for this gold coin.

Even if bound by the holographic game, not knowing how many more times she'll have to enter, this time she just wants to escape quickly and return to reality!

But desire aside, the three remaining alive players dared not go seize it.

What they faced was a man who single-handedly slew a huge monster!

Jin Chen raised his palm, the gold coin fell into his hand, and before it could warm up he shoved it into Ruan Fu's grasp.

All right, take it and leave the game.

Ruan Fu startled, "You're giving it to me?"

Didn't I say that already?

Jin Chen couldn't resist scraping his fingertip across Ruan Fu's face, lowering his head to meet her dark, gloomy eyes, "As an exchange, stop always thinking about killing me, okay?"

The rewind opportunity is precious.

If you don't behave, I'll lock you up!

Jin Chen activated the gold coin, the transport opened.

Ruan Fu's expression shifted, her gloomy yet beautiful brows and eyes lifted; she suddenly grabbed Jin Chen's collar, pulling him close until their noses almost touched, issuing a low warning.

"Say those nonsense words after you come out; don't let yourself die in Yun Zaozao's hands."

Jin Chen hummed, and in the last few seconds he suddenly curled his lips and moved closer, pressing against Ruan Fu's shocked expression and kissing the corner of her mouth.

"Heard it, go out and see."
