Chapter 1958: After the Rewind, Love You Again 34

Wife, say something. Jin Chen was in a continuous low pressure, lowered his head and buried his chin in Ruan Fu's shoulder and neck, whoosh whoosh whoosh with grievance.

Ruan Fu's heart had already gone soft; he reached back and grabbed a handful of Jin Chen's hair, turned to face him and said, "I've thought of a better way, no need to kill him directly."

Jin Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, not really believing, "Really?"

"Don't underestimate my hatred for him."

"... Alright, then you need to strike harder."

Even the knife that stabbed me should be returned.

They seemed completely unaware, this scene of flirtatious bickering, how glaring it was in the protagonist Chen's eyes.

Jin Chen noticed the angry gaze, glanced at it lightly, couldn't be bothered, put his arm around Ruan Fu's shoulder and walked up.

He still muttered, "Before he dies, don't come here again; I don't want you to see him."

"Got it, you're so naggy." Ruan Fu pursed his lips, his usually cold brows and eyes softened.

As they went up, the mold-covered brick wall behind them peeled away; sunlight streamed through the window, airborne dust from the yet-unsealed basement floated, swirling into golden mist in the light beams.

Below lay the hatred he didn't want to mention; above was the nervous anticipation and expectation of being honest with the person beside him.

Ruan Fu's fingertip twitched, as if accidentally he took Jin Chen's hand, and was immediately gripped in return.

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +10, total 70!】

That afternoon, Ji Luo and Cheng Chuan again gave Jin Chen feedback on today's mood—forced, otherwise in the death game they couldn't cling to a strong thigh.

Jin Chen made a record of it, no different from the previous two days.

As long as they don't dwell on it, their hatred for the protagonist Chen always exists, but the moment they have a killing intent, they can't control their soft-heartedness.

Fortunately, they can't see anyone now, so that thought can still be suppressed.

——

Another day passed.

【Host, I've tracked down that weird URL!】

Ling Gun Gun immediately presented those data and webpages in Jin Chen's mind.

【Do you feel this place is a bit familiar?】 Ling Gun Gun scratched his head.

Jin Chen's eyes dimmed, 【Undersea laboratory?】

Just like the image shown on the webpage, it came from the sea where Ruan Fu accidentally fell.

What connection does Ruan Fu have with the holographic death game?

Jin Chen stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, he could just see the tulips blooming fervently in the garden, but his gaze gradually lost warmth, and a speculation rose in his heart.

In fact, he had already sensed a faint strangeness in the hotel level, but he never thought deeper about it.

When his thoughts were deep, his back was suddenly poked.

Ruan Fu stood beside Jin Chen, frowned at the garden, "Do you need to be dazed for so long?"

Jin Chen withdrew his gaze, his smiling eyes fell on his face, he stepped closer two steps, lowered his head and kissed him, then asked, "Wife, I have a question for you."

"Go ahead."

"Do you want to leave the death game?"

Ruan Fu's fingers curled slightly, he lifted his eyes to look at Jin Chen, trying to find something in his gaze.

But there was nothing, as if it were just a casual question.

Ruan Fu fell silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, his voice like an ice blade cutting through the air, "Countless lives have been plundered by the death game; this is not something we can decide."

"As long as you want."

Jin Chen chuckled lightly, moved even closer, his breath almost touching the skin, his lowered tone laced with dangerous temptation: "Or perhaps you know some inside information?"

Ruan Fu's breath hitched, a flicker passed through his eyes, "I, I don't know."

The pause was too short; if not for Jin Chen's sharpness, he wouldn't have noticed anything at all.

Silence for a few seconds.

Jin Chen pulled Ruan Fu into his embrace, lowered his head and sealed his lips, carrying extreme dangerous aggression and possession, as if wanting to devour him whole.

In his ragged breathing, Ruan Fu instinctively tilted his head back, his fingertips gripping Jin Chen's lower back; his response, though not obvious, carried an indescribable submission and reliance.

But after that day.

Ruan Fu left the villa on the pretext of handling affairs away from the empire.

Again, like this.

Jin Chen couldn't help but recall that when leaving the dusk wooden house level, Ruan Fu also left for several days without news, and upon returning it was the start of the next level.

Having Ling Gun Gun locate the coordinates of that undersea laboratory, Jin Chen went to check it out the next day, also bringing along a bewildered Cheng Chuan.

"You mean Ruan Fu is playing missing, and you're going to look for him?"

In the back seat of the Benz off-road vehicle on the coastal highway sat Cheng Chuan, who could now communicate with the normal-IQ version of Jin Chen, "But what does this have to do with me?"

I'm still busy trying to start from scratch again!

"You're good with computers, I guess it could come in handy." Jin Chen casually mentioned a few things about the laboratory.

Fake.

With Ling Gun Gun as this assistant, why bother using Cheng Chuan? It's just that I'm afraid that once he leaves, this biggest danger factor will sneak into the villa and rescue the protagonist Chen, which would be utterly not worth it.

"Holy shit."

Cheng Chuan was stunned, "You suspect Ruan Fu is the mastermind behind the death game?"

What an earth-shattering secret.

"But the game has existed for so many years, how old is Ruan Fu? It doesn't add up."

"Things like this are always passed down through generations."

Jin Chen's tone was cold, as if suppressing a faint anger.

Over the next stretch of the road, Cheng Chuan watched Jin Chen drive the car, winding left and right; after parking, he was still able to bring him barrier‑free through a door that clearly required a password, and they came to a stop right in front of the lab.

"I now suspect you are the mastermind." Cheng Chuan said, his tone complex.

I don't even remember the way back to my hometown this clearly!
