Chapter 1954: After the Rewind, Love You Again 30

When Yun Zaozao woke up from the research institute's rest room, his first reaction was confusion.

He clearly remembered the feeling of being stabbed by Jin Chen after guessing wrong.

He still underestimated Jin Chen's ruthlessness.

But why was he still able to return to reality?

For some reason, Yun Zaozao recalled that when his layout was discovered and his identity exposed, he heard the game prompt saying Jin Chen had obtained another clearance coin.

So…

After a moment of stunned silence, Yun Zaozao's optical brain received a message notification from Cheng Chuan.

They hadn't had much interaction before; it was just that they had both been used by Jin Chen.

The instant he saw the message, the water cup he had lifted fell again, and the icy splash on the back of his hand instantly brought him back to his senses, so much so that he couldn't even conceal half of his astonishment.

Is Cheng Chuan crazy, spouting nonsense?

Knock knock knock—

The rest room's door was knocked.

"Professor Yun, Mr. Jin is looking for you."

The speaking graduate student's tone was strange, and he couldn't help but look at Yun Zaozao, thinking people these days are really weird.

Previously, Mr. Jin had admitted to plagiarizing and stealing research results, and the controversy hadn't died down, yet he voluntarily issued a clarification saying the livestream meeting was all a misunderstanding.

It was as if he treated scientific research like child's play, and I don't know how Professor Yun could be friends with someone like that.

"Who is looking for me…" Yun Zaozao said halfway, seeing the man walk in from the door, his usually sharp and calm eyes surged with tremendous shock.

Now he suspected that he, too, was as crazy as Cheng Chuan.

There actually are two Jin Chens.

Protagonist Chen wore a suit and leather shoes, the smile curling at his lips flashing with an air of inevitability.

Looking faintly, he seemed far more dazzling than when he had just returned to the Empire.

【Detected villain Yun Zaozao's Blackening Value -15, total 52!】

After sending off two villains full of killing intent in succession, Jin Chen felt the task had become smooth.

The only strange thing was that Yun Zaozao's Blackening Value dropped even more than Jin Chen had expected.

But this was a good thing; Jin Chen didn't dwell on it, and in the following days' tasks he appeared increasingly adept.

Sleeping with his wife, eating, killing ghosts, teasing his stubborn yet soft-hearted wife, bumping into ghosts, killing ghosts.

Incidentally lowering Ji Luo's and Gai Kai's Blackening Values, the effect of saving one life after another was very noticeable.

【Detected villain Gai Kai's Blackening Value: 30, villain Ji Luo's Blackening Value: 35!】

Players initially followed the hotel check-in rules nervously, but after just a few days they suddenly discovered that the monsters listed in the rules…

None remained.

Not a single one was left.

Two big shots literally turned the horror hotel into a completed monster-slaying game.

But this stage seemed to be pitted against Jin Chen, with all sorts of miscellaneous ghosts piling up, while the progress bar for collecting fierce ghosts remained stuck at 98%.

On the sixth day of staying at the hotel, Jin Chen, unable to tolerate it any longer, simply took the hot-blooded Gai Kai and killed the hotel owner together with the chef.

And indeed they inexplicably cleared the game.

Thus Jin Chen cursed again, "dog coin game."

In this world, the wildly frightened Ling Gun Gun cursed even more indignantly.

〖Death game welcomes your next visit. 〗

〖Special bulletin! Main quest collection for this stage succeeded, main quest progress 100%! Obtained a confidential revelation! 〗

Looking at the hotel's main gate that suddenly appeared in the lobby, the remaining players couldn't wait to leave, secretly hoping they'd meet Jin Chen again in the next game—truly a must-have god for monster-slaying clearance.

Ruan Fu trailed two steps behind Jin Chen, clearly seeing his face growing paler day by day, and thinking of the ever-present obscure brain tumor, she felt a faint shortness of breath.

Jin Chen was suddenly supported, his doubtful gaze following the hand resting on his arm to look at Ruan Fu, and he smiled, asking, "What's wrong?"

She glanced at him with some blame, Ruan Fu furrowed her brows, "Afraid you'll faint here."

Jin Chen didn't quite understand, raising his eyebrows blankly, then he heard Ji Luo nod in agreement: "Yeah, your complexion looks terrible, holy shit, you won't have a worsening brain tumor… right?"

Ji Luo felt Ruan Fu's icy glare, hurriedly closed his mouth, thinking it was also strange—how short a time it had been, the person who most wanted to kill Jin Chen had become the one most worried about him.

Jin Chen paused, oh, "I'm fine, I'm okay."

It was just that he'd killed too many ghosts, making the link between his soul and the game unstable.

But as for the brain tumor…

It's more or less a time bomb.

As he was about to pass through that gate, Jin Chen lowered his head to kiss Ruan Fu's lip corner, his narrow peach-blossom eyes flashing an emotion she couldn't decipher, "I'll tell you a secret later."

White light flashed.

The surrounding noise and clamor vanished, and irrelevant people disappeared as well.

Their world became tranquil again, yet ambiguous.

On the sofa lay the two, still maintaining the posture they had before entering the game, but their state of mind was completely different.

Jin Chen naturally embraced Ruan Fu, shifted his pose, yawned, and clung to her bonelessly.

During those nights at the hotel, Ruan Fu inexplicably grew accustomed to lying beside someone who liked to move his hands and feet, and moreover, from the fatigue of disengaging from the game, she actually didn't move at all.

After a while, Ruan Fu turned over to face Jin Chen and suddenly asked, "What secret do you want to tell?"

How does this person have so many secrets?

Ruan Fu wasn't too pleased.

He disliked the feeling of being unable to control, which could be lost at any moment.
