Chapter 1961: After the Rewind, Love You Again 37

Yun Zaozao pushed up her glasses, ignoring, walked straight to the other side of Jin Chen, looking curious, "What happened? Why are you so angry?"

Jin Chen was blocked in the middle by two behind-the-scenes black hands, his fingertips pointing at the protagonist, "If he doesn't die one day, I can't rest."

Protagonist Chen: "……"

His breath was like a silk thread, no time to retort.

Ruan Fu seemed thoughtful, leaning against Jin Chen's shoulder, whispering in his ear: "He won't survive this game."

Jin Chen expressionless: "That's really great."

I hope I'm not this ending.

Ruan Fu observed his expression, somewhat disappointed and frowning.

How come he's still unhappy.

Jin Chen flicked Ruan Fu's forehead, "The door's open."

"……Mm." Ruan Fu straightened up, his gaze cold as he swept over the opened main gates.

In the next instant, players appeared again in different rooms, randomly refreshed.

The second stage clearly had more people.

Ji Luo rolled his eyes observing, their team had six people, plus another Jin Chen, and many familiar players.

"Unbelievable." Ji Luo went over and angrily complained with Yun Zaozao, "This damn game surely has another nasty trick; with so many players, who knows how many will die."

Yun Zaozao still smiled: "Yeah."

Cheng Chuan condemned, staring at Yun Zaozao, almost putting "shameless" on his face, if Jin Chen hadn't stopped him…

Cheng Chuan averted his gaze, coldly snorting.

"Welcome to Equilibrium Scale."

The game prompt sounded, and all players fell silent.

"In the room there is a scale; the left pan holds your heart, the right pan is empty."

"Players must cut something from themselves, place it in the right pan, balancing equal weight with your heart. The thing cut can be memory, limb, or emotion."

Behind the scale, a pure white phantom angel appeared, left hand holding a sickle, right hand holding a pass gold coin, only one.

Players discussed strategies, hoping to find a solution before the serial number starts.

Jin Chen stood in the corner, suddenly whispering to Ruan Fu: "Do you remember me saying I already found a way to leave the game?"

Ruan Fu's breath hitched, "Remember, you… what did you think of?"

"No rush on this." Jin Chen curled his lips, glanced at Ruan Fu for a while, finally couldn't resist reaching out to pinch his cheek.

"I'll first find those behind-the-scenes controllers and take revenge."

Ruan Fu: "……"

Ruan Fu inexplicably felt a bit nervous.

"How will you take revenge?" Ruan Fu spoke unclearly with his cheek pinched.

Jin Chen: "Depending on the situation, I haven't figured it out yet."

"But if this thing hurts you, then who knows."

Ruan Fu's long‑absent emotional intelligence finally came online, he softly comforted Jin Chen: "It won't happen, you won't be hurt."

By standing behind Jin Chen, his fingertips silently manipulated something, the main brain database linked via the optical nerve accepted the change signal.

The first player forced to step forward began to choose, suddenly startled by the zombie‑like game prompt, almost knocking over his own heart projection on the scale.

"Those chosen by the Angel's Eye as angel followers can skip four stages; currently being randomly selected… selection successful!"

An angel halo mysteriously appeared above Jin Chen's head.

All players:!!!

Envy, jealousy, hatred!

Outside everything goes smoothly, but here the repeatedly frustrated Protagonist Chen even spat out three liters of blood.

Yun Zaozao stared at Ruan Fu with a complex expression, wanting to report him for favoritism and cheating.

But this person is Jin Chen…

Yun Zaozao suddenly understood.

Ruan Fu, in avenging the previous instance, used his ID card to force Jin Chen to trust this.

But that wasn't unsuccessful!

Ruan Fu must have died of stinginess in his past life.

Ling Gun Gun smacked his lips, broadcasting the spectacle: "Detected heartbeat value fluctuation of villain Ruan Fu, currently 38!"

Jin Chen: "……"

Thanks, but I don't really want to be a lab rat Xiao Bai.

Jin Chen gave a half‑smile at Ruan Fu: "You really speak like gold and jade."

Ruan Fu's shoulder tensed slightly, leaning on Jin Chen silent, afraid to speak more and be wrong, the hooked fingertip touched his palm, silently acting coquettish.

Jin Chen laughed again, no longer testing, he ruffled Ruan Fu's smooth silver hair.

【Detected villain Ruan Fu's heartbeat value +8, total 78!】

Jin Chen didn't need to sacrifice anything; there he gave Cheng Chuan and the others a nasty idea, making them furious to death, yet when he placed it on the scale, it turned out just right!

Thus the players skillfully began to cling to thighs; only Protagonist Chen couldn't bring himself to do it, and was avoided by Cheng Chuan and the others like a plague god, for fear of inexplicably going soft‑hearted.

It could be said his interpersonal relations are lacking.

One who is always sheltered by the protagonist's halo, when has he ever been neglected like this? He gritted his teeth, feeling that Jin Chen had taken everything, his hatred almost becoming substance.

And just then, Protagonist Chen had a sudden inspiration, standing before the scale, his tone triumphant yet laced with hatred.

"What I will cut away is the body that once belonged to me."

Since everything about this game is clear, we should also know that his identity was once taken away! The impostor must die here!

As soon as these words were spoken, Ruan Fu swept straight toward the protagonist Chen, her eyes darkening with a moist and dangerous hue; the whole person's oppressive feeling at this moment was stronger than that of an angel wielding a sickle.

Jin Chen Youyou sighed, "Eh……"

What he thinks is: Why ask for trouble? A thing molded from clay has no body.

What the several villains read was: Jin Chen was afraid, sad, and anguished.

New and old grudges surged together, faintly overwhelming the influence of the protagonist's halo; Gao Kai rushed forward first and punched the protagonist Chen in the face.

"You bastard, what nonsense are you spouting!"

The protagonist Chen fell to the ground, his heart projection knocked loose but he had no time to attend to it, shouting, "Who the hell are you!"

"You……ah!! You guys are crazy!"

What greeted him were Cheng Chuan's fists and Ji Luo's needles.

The players were puzzled, but they watched on.

The protagonist Chen finally crawled out of the encirclement, looked up and saw Yun Zaozao, "Zaozao……you'll help me……ah!!"

The crushed wrist bone turned over, the curled body arched, and Ruan Fu pressed her foot against it.

The dagger's tip pressed against his chest.

The protagonist Chen trembled all over, stiff and shaking, lying on the ground looking at those former followers, feeling a chill all over.

They had all been bewitched by the impostor!

"Ruan Fu!"

Cheng Chuan suddenly shouted, "Where is Jin Chen?"

"What."

Ruan Fu stared in shock; the Jin Chen who had just been standing in the corner had vanished.

"Jin Chen!" Ruan Fu forced herself to call out urgently, her hand gripping the knife trembling slightly.

"I……I saw, the big boss inexplicably smiled for a moment, then just disappeared."

The witnessing player said, frightened by Ruan Fu's gaze, he trembled.

Cheng Chuan's tone was almost questioning as he gradually raised his gun, aiming at Ruan Fu and Yun Zaozao.

"What are you pretending to be shocked about? Jin Chen's whereabouts aren't up to you to decide, are they?"
