Chapter Thirty-Nine He Came

  "I actually stopped doubting you a long time ago, Lian Xi. I know you wouldn't deceive me, and even when she had the worst temper, you never hurt Xiao Mu with your words, let alone kill her... At that time, I was too heartbroken, too impulsive, and I ended up hurting you. You gave up 3 survival points to save me, and I still blamed you... I..." Qiao Jia was already sobbing uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face.

  Zhou Lan Yu hugged Qiao Jia and kissed her forehead. Lian Xi couldn't express the sadness in his heart at this moment.

  "Alright, it's all in the past, doesn't matter...". Lian Xi calmed down and continued to analyze, "So there shouldn't be many tools, and they should be in places that are not easily discovered. If you accidentally find a tool and pick it up, a voice will sound in your ear, telling you how to use it, the tool's function, and the number of survival points it consumes..."

  Tools can indeed play a lifesaving role, but using them will deduct the corresponding survival points, so picking up tools is not necessarily a kind of luck.

  "It seems I'm late, with Miss Liang's intelligence, you must have already analyzed the previous task... Hehe."

  Three people looked frantically towards the coffee shop entrance - Ying! How did he end up here?

  Ying Leng smiled coldly and walked over, sitting down beside Lian Xi. He leaned in close to Lian Xi's ear and whispered softly, "Lian Xi, I've finally found you. I just went to your house looking for you, but you weren't there..."

  Lian Yu's expression changed in an instant. "How did you know where I live?!"

  "It took me a lot of effort to find you guys, luckily I have a friend who's good with computer systems, we hacked into the public security bureau's network and searched for a long time before finding your information and address... I was afraid of missing Miss Lianxi's analysis, so I rushed over here immediately..." Ying said proudly, but the other three didn't seem impressed, they just stared at Ying foolishly, not daring to believe it was true.

  "You actually hacked into the public security bureau's network system... this is too dramatic! How did you do it? What kind of person are you?" Zhou Lan Yu couldn't help but ask.

  Qiao Jia just sat quietly on one side, already stunned, and the appearance of Ying was simply a bolt from the blue...

  "I don't want to answer meaningless questions, I'm here to discuss the next game with you, and I have nothing to say about other things..." Ying's attitude was still as cold and arrogant as ever, which made Zhou Lan Yu feel disgusted.

  Lan Yu and Qiao Jia both looked at Lian Xi, hoping that Lian Xi would quickly start asking questions, while Lian Xi was also somewhat at a loss, not knowing where to begin...

  Actually, during the past two days of conversation, Lian Xi, Qiao Jia and Lan Yu had countless questions they wanted to ask Ying, but now that Ying suddenly appeared in front of them, they fell silent, not knowing what to say.

  "What's going on? I thought I came here to help you guys... Why isn't anyone saying anything? Or have you already discussed everything and don't want to repeat it for me? Or do you not want to 'play' with me?" Ying's tone was like a hurt child, her pitiful eyes looking at the other three people.

  Lian Xi hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to get straight to the point. "Ying! The three of us received ordinary game rules, so are you the holder of special game rules?" Lian Xi stared at Ying with wide eyes, hoping to detect something from his expression, after all, they didn't understand Ying, and if he lied, they would definitely be able to see some flaws in his expression...

  However, Rei neglected the fact that Kage was a high-ranking professional killer with a poker face, showing no emotions whatsoever. It could be said that he had no emotions at all, at least not until he met Rei. But before arriving, Kage had already anticipated this question from others and had a countermeasure in place, so how could Rei see through him?

  "I'm here for the same reason, you see. If I kill the person with the special game rules, I can get 50 survival points... So if I kill him and then kill the new holder of the special game rules in the next round, I can easily leave that hellhole... Hehe..." As he spoke, Ying glanced around at the three people, his smile somewhat different from usual, sending a chill down Lian Xi's spine and making her break out in cold sweat.

  Is Ying really not the holder of special game rules?! In fact, this is probably the result that Lian Xi least wants to see. If it's really like this, then maybe in the next round of the game, all of them will die... So now it seems, the four people who survived only got ordinary game rules, unless... unless someone is lying! But Lian Xi really can't tell who is hiding what...

  "Do you want to kill the person with special game rules? We don't know what's written on that rule now, what if it's a lifesaver for all of us?" Zhou Lan Yu had already lost patience with Ying, although this man really made himself feel chilled to the bone in that instant, but for Cai Jia's sake, he still stood up and questioned Ying.

  It's really ridiculous, this person must not be able to survive, think about it, if it's really helpful to everyone, then other players will definitely protect this person, so what reason does the person who got it have to not speak out? The shadow just smiled secretly in his heart, but Lan Yu's words coincided with the shadow's intention, which gave the shadow a huge step, and this was also within the shadow's expectation...

  Shadows pretended to think for a moment, "What you said isn't entirely unreasonable. If killing this person can get us 50 survival points, but at the cost of sacrificing everyone's lifeline... it's not worth it..." Shadows glanced at Lian Xi with his peripheral vision. Lian Xi's cleverness was the most unpredictable factor in Shadows' plan. It was highly likely that Lian Xi would discover something, and since Shadows could think of it, Lian Xi probably could too. But Shadows had to take this risk...

  If Shiro were still his former self, he would have killed all the players who knew about the special game rules without hesitation in the next round of the game. However, now he has somehow become more cautious and soft-hearted...

  A glimmer of doubt appeared in Ryou's eyes. "But as long as I can guarantee my own survival, that's all that matters..."

  Ying's words suddenly interrupted Lian Yu's train of thought, and she looked at Ying in shock. "You don't even know who got the special game rules now, are you going to kill everyone? Does that include... us three too?" Lian Yu's voice was trembling slightly as she stared at Ying, waiting for her response.

  "It's no wonder you're Miss Lian Yu, you've truly revealed the secrets of heaven with just one phrase... As it happens, I had exactly the same intention!"

  "Don't forget last time in the game if it wasn't for me, maybe..."

  "Maybe I'm already dead... In that case, I won't kill you... Besides, your intelligence is still somewhat helpful to me. After all, I need to survive the next game safely in order to have a chance to accumulate survival points in the next one..."

  At this moment, Qiao Jia and Lan Yu were the most tense. "If you kill them both! I won't help you!" Lian Xi suddenly became impatient, she didn't know where her courage came from to threaten Ying like that, but she had no other choice.

  They were completely unaware that their every word and action was unfolding according to the plot designed by Shadow... Lian Xi's words provided Shadow with a perfect excuse not to kill the three of them.
