Chapter 153: Chapter 117: Traitor_2

Lin Feng weighed the bullets, his eyes flickered as he frowned, "Is there a problem with this gun?"

"Of course, I gave it to you," Brother Ma grinned.

"You? You realized I was... impossible!"

"Impossible, huh? Humph, ever since you were the only one to survive and managed to find us, I suspected something was off. Of course, what confirmed my suspicions was the astute and powerful Miss Sui Yi and Ninth Miss,"

Brother Ma said nonchalantly, winking and making faces at Gong Jiu and her companion.

Upon hearing this, Gong Jiu sneered, "You’re in cahoots with us, having entered the Canal several times. It’s one thing to come back safely, but to always bring your medical kit with you, that’s just too professional! Not to worry about bringing a medical kit, but yours is 100% waterproof, and not a single medicine inside was damaged! Indeed, this medical kit made your presence very conspicuous, made us rely heavily on you, and let you quickly integrate into our core. But, it also exposed your suspicions more—since your resume states that you know absolutely nothing about archaeology and are just a simple doctor, why were your preparations so thorough? Yet, you seemed so weak and incompetent?"

Contradictions, just two contradictions, were enough to make Gong Jiu suspicious. Of course, the most fatal thing was what Sui Yi told Gong Jiu.

-- Lin Feng possessed Inner Strength.

This was fatal, directly exposing his problem!

Although Gong Jiu herself couldn’t see it, she trusted Sui Yi’s words without a doubt, which led her to observe Lin Feng closely and then confirm with Brother Ma that he was the traitor. Then...

"From the beginning, we were sure there was a traitor among us. This gun was also prepared long ago. Hmm, it looks like a real gun, but the bullets are different. Once in the air or upon impact, they undergo a chemical reaction and turn into this powder... I thought it wouldn’t be of any use, but since you showed up, I might as well give it to you," Gong Jiu said generously.

Lin Feng was frustrated, his face stern, "Clever plan, but weren’t you afraid I’d find out there’s something wrong with this gun?"

Gong Jiu laughed, "But you never did check, did you? You were too confident, too proud... completely unaware that there was a problem. And if you had figured it out, there were only two possibilities. One, you pretend to know nothing and keep using this gun; the other, you would switch to another gun. If you changed the gun... it would mean you definitely had figured it out, and also mean... you were definitely not just a recently graduated doctor!"

Who says Lady Gong Jiu isn’t smart?

Who says she’s dumb?

Suddenly, everyone fell silent, and after a moment, Brother Ma added, "Also, you farted, purposely drawing those monsters!"

Lin Feng’s face changed, and he clenched his teeth, "I’ve already said, that wasn’t me!"

I think, no one wants to be accused of farting, especially not a dark boss.

By now, if Lin Feng was very smug before, he was now utterly embarrassed.

Embarrassing as it was, Gong Jiu and the others had the upper hand, finally turning defeat into victory after several confrontations.

Gong Jiu and her group aimed their guns at Lin Feng and his people.

"Now, it’s time to clear the stage."

A hushed sentence echoed in the space.

Brother Ma and others were stunned. Uh, when did Ninth Miss’s voice become so coarse?

Sui Yi was also stunned.

This voice was...

The Gate of the Canal, at the entrance.

Another wave of "people" came.

A Ghostface Man stood among them, watching them.

He murmured darkly, "You’ve been fighting for so long, you must be tired by now, right? Guess it’s my turn."

Gong Jiu and everyone... shared a common sentiment.

--Fuck!

Sui Yi chuckled bitterly, "Is this the ending?"

Apparently, they were all mere grasshoppers in the hands of this Ghostface Man, inescapably bound.

What was more terrifying was that the other party’s objective... seemed not to kill them.

————————

Clang, the Gate of the Canal closed.

The monsters all came in.

The Ghostface Man stood at the door and stated flatly, "Kill them."

"People" and monsters charged!

Gong Jiu and the others, despite cursing, couldn’t stop the overwhelming number of terrifying enemies. It was almost crushing!

It was almost impossible to resist!

It was almost...

Gong Jiu and the others despaired!

Utter despair!

Damn, why? We’ve come this far!

And still, they were ambushed by someone!

Lin Feng and Leng She felt incredibly frustrated; this wasn’t right. According to their plan, Gong Jiu and the others should have died by their strategic manipulation, and the old entities in the Ancient Tomb should have been at their beck and call.

How did it turn out like this!

NO!

Just as everyone was being beaten back step by step.

Click, a door in the wall of the Underground Palace suddenly opened.

Light spilled through, illuminating the faces of Gong Jiu and others in their miserable despair.

At a glance...

They saw Sui Yi standing weakly by the door, frowning, murmuring to them, "Have you gone mad? Come over here..."

The tone, hushed and soft, chillingly soothing, was enticing yet seemed to say: Are you idiots? There’s a door here; why fight when you can escape?

Well, Gong Jiu and the others indeed felt as if they had gone from despair in a desperate situation to sudden relief, though ahead stood a cold, calculating expressionless face.

"Run over here!"

"Run!"

"Go!"

Gong Jiu and the others, delighted and jubilant like overjoyed Divine Beasts, buoyantly rushed towards Sui Yi...

Behind them, a swarm of "people" and monsters advanced.

Sui Yi looked up, seeing the devious gaze of the Ghostface Man.

Just as expected, your purpose was to drive us into the Underground Palace?
