Chapter 779: She Comes from a Taboo! He Isn't Dead Yet!

"No wonder you're the Number One Strategist under Yue Zhao; your heart, character, courage and insight truly impress," Su Qi praised without holding back.

"Flattering, though I don't know exactly what your background is, your performance isn't bad; had you not shown that little flaw, perhaps I would truly have fallen for it," Ji Huai said.

Su Qi holstered her gun and stood, reaching out, "Hand over the Bullet."

Ji Huai shook his head, "This is a safeguard I placed on myself, also a reckoning for the big guy."

"With such a superb weapon under your control, if your mind strays, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Su Qi, hearing that, stepped forward, "This building isn't just a Walnut Pliers; if I were intent on wreaking havoc, who among you could stop me?"

Ji Huai remained unmoved, calmly saying, "Beyond that door, whatever you intend, I won't interfere; at least now, I cannot allow."

"So... the group action is cancelled?" Su Qi asked.

"I just realized a principle: compared to the extremely dangerous Monster, we should worry more about the people around us," Ji Huai nodded without comment.

"You've understood this principle for a long time; you just missed grabbing the Shotgun and worried I'd seek revenge," Su Qi said plainly.

"Even if what you say is correct," Ji Huai smiled.

Su Qi's gaze subtly shifted, then she glanced at Su Yang.

The latter understood her meaning and gave Lu Zhiwei a look.

The three walked outward together, and before departing Ji Huai suddenly shouted, "Su Yang, little brother, if you don't mind, you may travel with me."

"I can't guarantee how much you'll gain, but I can assure you you won't have a threat to your life."

Hearing this, Su Yang's steps halted.

Lu Zhiwei, seeing this, said, "Don't listen to him!"

Su Yang gave no reply, but turned to Ji Huai, "Let's skip today; we'll talk another day."

"No problem, I'll await your good news," Ji Huai nodded gladly.

With that said, the three gradually vanished at the Corner.

Liu Pangzi finally couldn't hold back, hurriedly asked, "What does it actually mean?"

"The purpose of this Death Game is no longer pure," Ji Huai said leisurely.

"No, I'm asking what Su Qi's background actually is?" Liu Pangzi pressed.

"She should come from a Taboo; the rest, don't ask— the less you know, the better for you," Ji Huai said.

"Then on what does Su Yang rely to earn her favor?" Liu Pangzi was utterly puzzled.

Compared to the era they inhabit, it itself is ten to a hundred times ahead of the New Era.

To discuss cooperation, it must be with them first.

How could it fall to Su Yang, this rookie?

"I haven't figured that out either," Ji Huai fell into thought.

"Could it be that Su Yang got hold of a lever over Su Qi?" Liu Pangzi mused.

"Like evidence of murder?" Ji Huai glanced at him.

"Yeah, otherwise none of this makes sense," Liu Pangzi kept nodding.

"What a pig brain..."

Ji Huai shook his head helplessly.

He suddenly realized that having a pig teammate greatly delays matters.

If there were a smart person, he wouldn't have someone pointing a gun at his Brain.

Nor would Su Qi seize the chance to tamper with him.

Just now Ji Huai suddenly felt as if he were seen through.

Bare, with no reserve.

If I'm not mistaken, Su Qi's Innate Talent should be the type that discerns secrets.

It's just that she doesn't know whether her plan has already been known.

Upon this thought, Ji Huai still showed no sign of worry, but turned to look at the bewildered Fu Yuan.

"Fu little brother, travel together?"

"Little brother?"

Fu Yuan's mouth twitched slightly; he's already thirty‑seven or thirty‑eight, while Ji Huai looks at most twenty‑five or twenty‑six.

"To actually use that kind of address."

But on second thought, which member of the Old Era Remnant Faction isn't several hundred years old?

When they started this Death Game, they themselves weren't even tadpoles.

Thinking that way, it does make sense.

It's just that seeing his face feels very awkward.

"Of course, that's fine, I'm alone and weak," Fu Yuan nodded in agreement.

"Protect the Shovel in your hand; this item is now scarce," Ji Huai reminded.

"Oh, okay."

The three walked together, the group returned to the Entrance one after another.

Su Yang looked up at the Radiance‑shimmering chandelier, his eyes flickering.

"What are you looking at?" Lu Zhiwei leaned over.

"I'm wondering... where the goods actually are."

"You're lying, you stick out your butt and I know you're pooping or peeing," Lu Zhiwei said with disbelief.

"Hehe..."

At this moment, Ji Huai and the others stepped out one after another.

At the same time, movement came from the Second Floor.

Only Lin Jin's Unruly and Untamed face came into view.

His already tattered Work Uniform was stained with blood, and he looked as if he had just been in a great battle.

"This guy actually didn't die?" Lu Zhiwei said, somewhat surprised.

"Probably that strange Innate Talent at work," Su Yang guessed.

While the two were talking, Lin Jin slowly walked down the stairs.

He looked at the remaining six‑person team and couldn't help but mock, "They say the more people, the stronger, yet why does it seem the opposite with you?"

"Those two beauties died before I could even get a taste of them, what a pity."

Su Yang gave a faint laugh, "Look at Brother Lin's disheveled look; I guess he suffered a lot on the Second Floor, right?"

"Just now, with a quick glance, I saw a bit of spider silk behind you; I guess you encountered a Giant Spider."

"But your luck is quite good, you actually managed to survive."

Lin Jin's smile on his face suddenly froze, and he said, "You actually didn't die at all, that disappoints me greatly."

Su Yang shrugged his shoulders, "Heaven hasn't taken me yet, so I guess you'll have to wait a while longer."

Lin Jin didn't linger with him, and shouted, "I've gone through every door on the Second Floor; there are many Monsters, and not a single cargo item."

"How could that be?" Liu Pangzi furrowed his brow.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you," Lin Jin said casually.

Liu Pangzi looked at Ji Huai, wanting him to make a decision.

Ji Huai remained silent, and after a while said, "Then it seems we need to find a truly passable route to locate the cargo."

"There are too many Gates; moving as a group wastes time," Fu Yuan said.

"Let's go, don't delay any longer," Ji Huai led Liu Pangzi and Fu Yuan toward one of the doors on the first floor.

Lin Jin, seeing this, waved, "I hope to see you tonight inside the Spaceship."

Saying that, he also chose a door to enter.

After waiting a moment, the hall was silent; Su Yang looked around and whispered, "Move!"

"Where are we going?" Lu Zhiwei asked, puzzled.

"To the outside to find an exit!"

"Huh?"

Lu Zhiwei was completely confused.

Su Yang gave no explanation, and directly pulled her out.

"Hey, you could have told me first!"

The three pushed the door open and stepped outside the building into the icy snow.

Lu Zhiwei couldn't help but shiver.

Su Yang looked at Su Qi, "Sister Qi, lead the way."

"Hmm," Su Qi nodded.

She led the way ahead, while Su Yang and Lu Zhiwei followed behind.

"What exactly is the point of finding an exit?" Lu Zhiwei persisted in wanting an answer.

"Haven't you noticed?" Su Yang said cryptically.

"Notice what?"

A flash of brilliance flickered in Su Yang's eyes,

"Qin Yu Zhou is still alive!"
