Doll Survival Game - Chapter 149
Lin Ye and the others actually didn’t lie; they just concealed some things.
In their previous instance, if this person hadn’t existed, then Via wouldn’t have been captured; and although there were hunters interfering, it wouldn’t have taken them nearly half a month to rescue Via.
Actually, this city lord’s youngest son, Yi Yuefeng, though very strong, wasn’t someone they couldn’t handle, but in the last instance, they couldn’t harm him.
Maybe he was an important NPC, so all attacks were ineffective against him.
Because of this, things became much harder for Lin Ye and the others in the last instance… though if Via hadn’t come, it wouldn’t have been so difficult.
And the reason Via was caught was simple: Yi Yuefeng took a liking to him.
Via had spoken about this openly at the time.
However, the game’s setting probably didn’t include certain things that needed to be censored, so Via was only forced to date this guy after being captured, and nothing else happened.
Moreover, Yi Yuefeng had more than a dozen other “harem members.”
It was like playing house.
But, because Yi Yuefeng was immune to damage in the last instance, it was very hard for them to rescue Via, and the hunters were especially annoying, not doing tasks and insisting on killing them first, so in the end, they were all injured.
At the time, they thought there was no hope of rescuing Via, but then they discovered Yi Yuefeng’s wall full of doll collections, and that he was even more obsessed with dolls than with young men. So then…
After that, they agreed to give him a moving doll in three days in exchange for Via.
……
Zhang Mimi moved closer to Lin Ye, his expression twisted, but he still remembered to keep his voice down: “Is this guy an idiot? He actually believes in a verbal agreement?”
Lin Ye’s voice was even lower: “Via was fitted with a tracker, and this guy is very confident in himself.”
Zhang Mimi: “……”
Zhang Mimi’s mouth twitched: “So you guys just sold the doll?” While the doll was working hard with them in another instance, these guys were actually selling out their teammate.
“It was just talk.” After all, there was only one day left on the game timer at the time.
Lin Ye whispered, then looked at Yi Yuefeng.
Yi Yuefeng didn’t seem curious about their whispers. He looked at the wall full of dolls: “Aren’t they beautiful?”
“But what a pity.” Yi Yuefeng looked at Lin Ye, deliberately saying, “None of them can move.”
The three: “……”
Yi Yuefeng came over and sat down again, crossing his legs: “You guys broke the agreement, you know. It’s been a whole half a year now.”
Lin Ye sat upright, not showing the slightest sign of guilt: “We went back home for a while.”
“That’s true.” Yi Yuefeng mused, “You blew up Tianhong, how could you not run?”
Maybe it was the setting, but Yi Yuefeng didn’t press further. He tapped the blue wristband on his wrist, and a semi-transparent screen similar to the players’ holographic display popped up.
Yi Yuefeng clicked and checked for a while, then his eyes widened slightly: “He’s in the high-risk zone.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ye’s expression changed-Via’s tracker still worked?!
Yi Yuefeng glanced at Lin Ye and smiled: “I might as well tell you, the tracker’s on his head. Unless he shaves his head, I’ll always know where he is.”
Lin Ye quickly composed himself and said, “The doll you want is also in the high-risk zone.”
Yi Yuefeng frowned: “That won’t do. The high-risk zone is the most dangerous place, and it’s the origin of everything. My father would never let me go.”
Lin Ye knew his father was the city lord, and also knew Yi Yuefeng wouldn’t risk himself for a “toy,” so his goal was-
“We can go in.”
Lin Ye leaned forward slightly, his long hair, forced into a black-red gradient, slid off his shoulder. Lin Ye smiled: “You’re confident you won’t let us leave, aren’t you?”
Yi Yuefeng paused, looked at the dolls on the wall, then laughed: “Alright.”
“……”
“……”
Both sides fell silent. In the end, it was the stammering Li Han who spoke up first: “Take me, to find, Luo Yiran.”
Yuan Mo took a step back, but his mouth was still tough: “Why should we?”
Li Han pointed at the dead mohawk and rainbow-head on the ground: “I, helped, you.”
Li Qi Feng stepped forward, his face expressionless, so much so that he and Li Han looked like mirror images. He said coldly, “We didn’t ask for help. To be precise, you stole our kill.”
Li Han was stunned, then seemed to think for a while, and then said, “Sor, ry.”
Li Qi Feng or Yuan Mo: “……”
He Xiaoye behind Li Han held his forehead, a little regretful that he’d told Li Han about these two knowing the doll when they passed by.
Mainly, he hadn’t expected this guy to have never watched any live broadcast, and just assumed they already knew each other and mentioned it casually.
Yuan Mo glanced at Li Han, then exchanged a look with Li Qi Feng. He moved closer to Li Qi Feng and lowered his voice: “This guy doesn’t look like a bad person.”
Li Qi Feng pursed his lips, then said, “Here, except for people from your own organization, everyone else is an enemy.”
Besides-Li Qi Feng’s gaze flickered. Although the person in front of him was very strong, he didn’t want to drag Luo Yiran out as a scapegoat anymore.
How about lying and telling him Luo Yiran is somewhere else? Would that work?
Not really, it would be exposed very quickly, and then there’d be no room to maneuver.
Yuan Mo also knew this person in front of them was formidable, because his body was emitting a faint glow, which meant danger, so he tugged at Li Qi Feng: “How about we just leave?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Han took a step forward.
Yuan Mo: “…?”
Although Li Han stepped forward, he didn’t do anything else. He just said, “It’s, fine. You, can, not, tell, me.”
He spoke earnestly and firmly: “I, will, follow, you, myself.”
At that moment, Li Qi Feng and Yuan Mo both twitched the corners of their mouths in tacit understanding, and simultaneously felt speechless.
He Xiaoye slapped his forehead hard-my god, this really sounds like a threat.
Yuan Mo was stunned for a while, then he looked at Li Qi Feng: “Can you beat him?”
He thought maybe it was best not to get entangled with this guy; this person was a weirdo.
Li Qi Feng glanced at the two parasites with rotting bodies on the ground and said, “Not likely.”
This person had just used poison, which was extremely dangerous and easy to fall victim to.
Yuan Mo frowned in thought, then looked at Li Han: “Why are you looking for Luo Yiran?”
He hadn’t attacked them, which meant maybe he wasn’t looking for the doll to do anything bad.
Li Han raised his hand and pressed his temple. He was very thin, so he looked especially frail, and his voice was also weak, lacking any sense of security: “To, deliver, some, words.”
He Xiaoye was stunned. He looked at Li Han and asked in confusion, “If it’s just to deliver a message, you can just tell them and let them pass it on to the doll. There’s no need to meet the doll in person, right?”
Li Han was taken aback: “Eh?”
He Xiaoye: “…?”
Li Han understood: “That, works, too.”
The three fell silent, momentarily at a loss for words.
Li Han wasn’t embarrassed at all. He turned his gaze to Yuan Mo and Li Qi Feng, then began to relay the message meant for the doll: “…”
Whoosh-
As if suddenly deaf, the whole world fell silent. Li Qi Feng, Yuan Mo, and He Xiaoye didn’t hear a single sound, and even Li Qi Feng, who was facing Li Han directly, couldn’t make out any words from his lips.
It was as if the sound had been muted and censored.
Li Han paused halfway through and asked the two, “Did, you, hear, anything?”
The world’s sounds returned to the three’s ears. Yuan Mo shook his head, blinking in confusion: “Did you just say something?”
He had just felt a strange sensation, chaotic and bewildering, as if something had happened, yet as if nothing had happened at all.
It was a very, very surreal feeling.
Li Han understood: “No good.”
He Xiaoye was still caught in that strange feeling, and just subconsciously responded to Li Han’s words: “What?”
Li Han turned back, his eyes very clear: “Can’t, relay.”
“I have, to… tell, him, myself, alone.”
Li Qi Feng frowned tightly. He patted his own ear, then, while adjusting to the slight dizziness, calmly said, “But we can’t tell you where he is.”
“I understand you really have something to tell the doll, but there’s no way to be sure you don’t have other malicious intentions to harm him.” Li Qi Feng’s gaze was clear: “He’s my teammate. Casually giving his information to others would be irresponsible.”
Though the Via incident was purely an accident… and he hadn’t participated, just watched.
He Xiaoye was about to die of worry. He said to Li Han, “Why don’t you just catch them and threaten them directly?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Han turn his head again, his gaze showing disapproval and even disdain.
He Xiaoye: “…”
What, what?? What kind of look is that?!
Anyway, in the end, everyone’s an enemy, and only one team can survive. What’s the point of being polite?
They’ll have to tear off the masks eventually.
He Xiaoye was so angry he nearly rolled his eyes.
Yuan Mo tapped the holographic display. Looking at the quiet group chat, he suddenly said, “How about this.”
“I’ll ask Ran himself if he wants to see you. If he’s willing, we’ll tell you where he is.”
Li Han didn’t hesitate: “Okay.”
He Xiaoye: “…Aren’t you worried about what you’ll do if the doll doesn’t want to see you?”
Li Han’s face was expressionless: “Then I’ll just keep following them.”
He Xiaoye twitched his mouth, looked at Yuan Mo and Li Qi Feng, and then smiled helplessly-
Forget it, as long as Li Han is strong enough to protect him for fifteen days, why should he worry about whether someone else is motivated?
If they don’t get first place in the end and get eliminated, it won’t affect him anyway. In fact, dying with company wouldn’t be so bad.
Yuan Mo let out a deep sigh and lowered his head to send a message-at this point, it might be better if Luo Yiran agreed to meet. That way, maybe they could use Li Han’s strength to rescue the two in the high-risk zone.
But unfortunately, the message was like a stone sinking into the sea; there was no response from Luo Yiran at all.
It was as if Luo Yiran was no longer able to reply.
…
Yuan Mo had a bad feeling.
