Chapter 392 - Chapter 392 Chapter 388 New Developments from Hot Noodles

Chapter 392: Chapter 388 New Developments from Hot Noodles Chapter 392: Chapter 388 New Developments from Hot Noodles Quack quack quack–

Fang Xiaocao was awakened by the message alert sound from her phone; she rubbed her sleepy eyes and fumbled inside her sleeping bag before finally finding her phone.

At this hour, Fang Xiaocao didn’t need to look to know that it was definitely Hot Noodles.

She shook her head and dispelled the drowsiness.

Fang Xiaocao sat up from her sleeping bag.

She glanced outside the tent; she didn’t know when the sandstorm had stopped, but it was still pitch black outside.

“It’s still not dawn, huh…”

Fang Xiaocao muttered to herself and unlocked her phone; the time displayed was 3:30 AM.

“Sending me a message this early, you’d better have a good reason,” she grumbled.

She opened WeChat, and as expected, there was a red dot on Hot Noodles’ avatar.

Fang Xiaocao opened the conversation.

[Hot Noodles: It’s been confirmed, Su Wanqing is indeed dead. Her future self has disappeared, and she’s absent from many events related to her. This really gets rid of a major thorn in our sides.]

Looking at the message from Hot Noodles, Fang Xiaocao’s face was indifferent, neither sad nor happy.

This was something Fang Xiaocao had anticipated.

Her entire body had been devoured by the Poisonous Insect.

Her bones had been burnt to ash by Taotie; if she hadn’t completely died, that would have been truly impolite.

Fang Xiaocao typed and sent a reply.

[Fang Xiaocao: As expected, is there anything else?]

Hot Noodles quickly replied.

[Hot Noodles: Yes, there will be complications in this desert gold-seeking expedition. Be careful of two people, one is Liu Yishou and the other is a woman named Chen Xiao. They both might cause you harm.]

Looking at the message from Hot Noodles, Fang Xiaocao was stunned, “Liu Yishou is going to harm me?”

“Are you kidding?”

“Hasn’t he always been quite diligent?”

The news of Liu Yishou’s potential betrayal was difficult for Fang Xiaocao to accept.

[Fang Xiaocao: Are you serious?]

[Fang Xiaocao: Who is this Chen Xiao, and why would Liu Yishou betray me?]

After sending the messages, Fang Xiaocao recalled every detail of Liu Yishou’s actions from their time entering the desert until now; she was sure that apart from not participating in combat, there was nothing else suspicious about him.

And his non-participation in combat was because he was a living map, something Fang Xiaocao had endorsed.

How could such a person be a mole?

[Hot Noodles: Liu Yishou is just a suspect. I haven’t found concrete evidence of his betrayal, but the upcoming developments will indeed involve many unexpected occurrences due to Liu Yishou. I can’t be sure if he’s doing it intentionally, so you need to keep a close eye on him. The saying that ‘caution helps one navigate a sea of risks’ doesn’t need further explanation.]

[Hot Noodles: Chen Xiao is very mysterious. You’ll probably meet her tomorrow. Her background is unclear, all the information she gives is false, yet she amazingly has a Tomb Raider Sect token, and Taotie confirms the token is genuine.]

[Hot Noodles: Since Chen Xiao joined the team, Liu Yishou started acting strangely, which was abnormal. Weird things often happen at the camp. Among my additional memories, I tried hypnotizing Liu Yishou but failed, and he died on the spot. Taotie and I almost got trapped in the desert, so unless absolutely necessary, Liu Yishou must not die so as not to lose our way out of the desert.]

Reading the three long messages from Hot Noodles, Fang Xiaocao furrowed her brows, feeling a bit of a headache.

The situation had become complicated.

Initially, when she saw Hot Noodles mention that Liu Yishou and the unseen Chen Xiao were problematic, Fang Xiaocao thought about not hesitating any longer and simply hypnotizing everyone involved.

Fang Xiaocao did not believe that under the influence of hypnotism, there would be secrets she couldn’t uncover.

But now, Hot Noodles had blocked that path, warning that Liu Yishou was untouchable; if she moved against him, he would die before her eyes.

“But Chen Xiao should be manageable, right?”

Fang Xiaocao muttered to herself.

[Fang Xiaocao: Can I move against Chen Xiao?]

Fang Xiaocao voiced her thoughts.

[Hot Noodles: No, Chen Xiao has something strange about her, seemingly immune to Mental Control. From my memory, I have tried using hypnosis on her, but she only pretended to be controlled. The information she gave was false and because I was overly confident in my hypnotism, I never noticed, which almost got me killed when she betrayed me at a crucial moment. Luckily, Brainless fell into quicksand, and Unhappy was shot and fell into the Scorpion Den.]

[Hot Noodles: My suggestion is, if you do not wish to uncover the truth or pull out the secrets Chen Xiao holds, kill her the moment she appears. If you want to uncover the secrets, you need to be very cautious.]

[Hot Noodles: I am actually very curious about the secrets behind Chen Xiao. I hope you can spare her because I suspect that Jiang Ziyao and the others, who have turned into Wild Men, might be directly related to her or people or matters behind her.]

Hiss–

Reading the messages from Hot Noodles, Fang Xiaocao inhaled sharply.

This woman named Chen Xiao was somewhat evil, with so many things hidden behind her.

Initially, Fang Xiaocao thought that Jiang Ziyao and others turning into heartless Wild Men was due to Blood Jade Ring and Phoenix Gall.

She hadn’t expected Chen Xiao to suddenly come into the picture, causing Fang Xiaocao’s headache to return.

Fang Xiaocao stayed silent, assimilating the information provided by Hot Noodles.

At the same time, she became deeply curious about Chen Xiao’s secrets.

Hot Noodles was right; the best way to prevent Chen Xiao from causing trouble was to kill her at their first encounter, once and for all.

But Hot Noodles was curious about the secrets behind Chen Xiao, and so was Fang Xiaocao!

Especially the secret that caused a group of normal people to turn into Wild Men.

Fang Xiaocao was simply too curious.

Being the same person as Hot Noodles, if Hot Noodles was curious, how could Fang Xiaocao not be?

Moreover…

Fang Xiaocao had another thought–if there were others behind Chen Xiao, killing one Chen Xiao, who could guarantee that another Li Xiao or Wang Xiao wouldn’t appear?

Now that Chen Xiao had exposed herself with a reminder from Hot Noodles, being a little careful could still avoid many problems.

But if there came a Li Xiao or Wang Xiao and the hypnotism didn’t work, how should Fang Xiaocao defend herself?

She could be extra cautious with those who approached her voluntarily, or even kill them all to resolve all at once.

But if someone mixed into other teams or the enemy ranks, and she tried to ensnare them with love for talent, and pretended to be hypnotized when approached?

Or, after killing Chen Xiao, if her replacement infiltrated the Tomb Raider Sect’s team meant to rendezvous with the Gold, how should she defend herself?

For a moment, Fang Xiaocao found herself at a crossroads.

To kill or not to kill, both options came with great risks.
