Chapter 1948: After the Rewind, Love You Again 24

〖Live broadcast: 28 survivors. 〗

〖Congratulations to player Jin Chen for obtaining one clearance gold coin, three remaining. 〗

Jin Chen, who had just taken the gold coin from the mirror: "……"

Dog egg game, pulling this.

"You'd better protect me well." Jin Chen solemnly told Ruan Fu, with a hint of a smile.

Ruan Fu clenched and unclenched her fist, her tone still a bit awkward: "Who cares about you."

And that particularly strange mirror returned to calm, only the girl from earlier reappeared, tidying her hair and standing straight, like a pin-up girl.

If you ignore her fierce glare at Jin Chen, she would look even cuter.

Ji Luo recalled the game rules, speaking in a strange tone: "She couldn't be that girl with the bow, could she?"

This is the only player-friendly clause in the game rules; maybe we can even get some clues from the girl.

But Jin Chen stabbed her.

The girl gave the eager-to-learn Hope Team an eye roll, the mirror turned back into a mirror, only able to reflect their faces.

Jin Chen stood at the front, clearly seeing that each teammate's face bore an expression of speechlessness.

Jin Chen silently turned around, hiding behind Ruan Fu: "We already have plenty of clues."

"Did another player encounter a monster? How did the number drop so fast, it's really fucking scary." Gao Kai, just thinking about the numbers representing lives, genuinely felt creeped out.

"Let's go out first." Jin Chen said.

I don't know if it's his illusion, but the hallway here is much narrower than when we came in, and only the mirror keeps getting bigger.

They left following the original method, Jin Chen's whole being focused on sensing danger, completely failing to notice his teammates' abnormalities.

And at the rear of the team, Cheng Chuan's exhaled breath was ragged, his whole body trembling from anger.

In his mind, the hatred that had been gradually pressing down on Jin Chen during this period erupted again—the betrayal and sabotage from three years ago, the struggle and torment in prison over those three years…

Cheng Chuan's eyes snapped open, pupils dilating and turning blood-red, the whites disappearing completely, while Youyou stared intently at the back ahead.

"It feels like there's something."

The sudden sound cut off Cheng Chuan's killing intent; the blood color instantly faded, he dazedly tilted his head, and stopped together with the others.

"What thing?" Jin Chen asked.

Yun Zaozao rubbed the tip of her toe, bent over uncertainly, took out the thing under the carpet, closed her eyes and judged by rubbing it with her fingertips: "It feels like a cufflink."

"Let's go out first to look, don't open your eyes."

Yun Zaozao's lips curved slightly, as if she read concern from those words: "Okay."

Until the surrounding air suddenly stopped pressing in, Jin Chen was the first to open his eyes, saw the stairwell and door numbers, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's fine now."

He had been tightly holding Ruan Fu's hand, but it was suddenly wrenched free.

Jin Chen lowered his brows in doubt, seeing Ruan Fu looking somewhat unhappy, was about to ask when Yun Zaozao handed over the button.

"It was pressed under the carpet, probably something someone dropped." Yun Zaozao said.

"Eh… I think I've seen this before…"

Ji Luo, who is especially sensitive to fashion elements, scratched his head, then after a few seconds realized and clapped: "It's the blond-haired guy from the three-person team!"

Jin Chen realized something, slightly raised his eyebrows, not very surprised: "So… you suspect."

"He couldn't be that hunter, could he?" Gao Kai followed their line of thought, and indeed reacted immediately: "Then this morning they were basically shouting 'catch the thief' while being the thief themselves!"

Ruan Fu pondered for a moment after hearing that, then glanced at Jin Chen, feeling his reaction was off.

However, he usually doesn't have the habit of meddling in others' affairs.

Yet it was precisely this glance; Ruan Fu's gaze then naturally drifted to Cheng Chuan, who had somehow ended up behind Jin Chen at some point.

Although she didn't know this person, she also knew Cheng Chuan wasn't quite right now.

"Jin Chen." Ruan Fu suddenly spoke, pulling his hand.

"What's wrong?"

Jin Chen, following the force, moved closer to her side, his peripheral vision instantly detecting Cheng Chuan silently approaching from behind, and then he looked down.

His toes left the ground, his body lightly floating in midair; when their eyes met, he slowly lifted his gaze, his pupils blood-red.

Jin Chen's brows furrowed slightly, a sense of unease welled up inside him.

No way.

The villain got killed by a fierce ghost right under my nose?!

【…How come I feel you're still a bit eager?】 Their death method has already been arranged for them.

Cheng Chuan lunged forward fiercely, accompanied by Gao Kai's successive stunned "what the fuck" shouts, his fingers like iron clamps closing toward Jin Chen's throat.

"Cheng Chuan! What the hell are you doing, you bastard?!"

Ji Luo's angry scolding turned into a scream; seeing Cheng Chuan's eyes completely filled with blood scared him into repeatedly stepping back.

Even someone who has killed an ex-boyfriend would still be terrified by such a weird thing.

Ji Luo panicked inside, putting as much distance as possible between himself and it.

Gao Kai and Yun Zaozao wanted to help, but they couldn't keep up with Cheng Chuan's speed, nor could they outmatch Ruan Fu, who was already intervening; they could only watch anxiously—not particularly anxious, at most a little bit.

But soon they realized, Cheng Chuan was only targeting Jin Chen.

"What a buddy, possessed by a fierce ghost? It seems he hasn't been controlled yet." Ji Luo peered from the corner, observing, and couldn't help but mutter.

Otherwise, why would he only chase and try to kill Jin Chen?

Jin Chen himself also really wanted to figure it out.

At this point, the protagonist's halo probably doesn't need to kick in!

Cheng Chuan's fingers curled into claws, his nails emitting an eerie black light, aiming straight for Jin Chen's throat; Jin Chen sidestepped to dodge, then with a backhand pulled a hemp rope from his light-brain space.

He couldn't kill him, so he could only tie him up first and then talk.
