Chapter 15 I believe you
Chapter 15 I believe you
"You guys." Lin Ye opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Sun Xiaoyu.
"Okay, you don't have to say anything." Sun Xiaoyu said coldly, "We believe her, that's enough."
"We can still complete the mission without cold-blooded guys like you and Lu Zijin!"
After saying that, Sun Xiaoyu took Gu Qingcheng's hand and left without looking back.
Seeing this, Xie Wan hurriedly followed.
"Wait." Lin Ye wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed helplessly and gave up explaining.
Do not live by committing sins.
How is it possible for someone with this IQ to graduate from high school, become a knight and take the test?
"Alas." Lin Ye shook his head helplessly and turned to look at Lu Zijin who was still standing there.
Lu Zijin didn't say anything, but just looked at Lin Ye quietly, with a complex light flashing in his deep eyes.
"Don't you believe what they say?" Lin Ye asked.
Lu Zijin shook his head and then nodded.
"I believe what they said is true. I also tend to think that Gu Qingcheng just now is the real one." Lu Zijin said lightly, "But I trust your judgment more."
"Oh?" Lin Ye raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Zijin with interest, "Why?"
"Because." Lu Zijin paused and said firmly, "I believe you."
These four simple words are more useful than any other words.
From the moment Lin Ye handed her the Decade Driver, her trust in Lin Ye was destined.
Lin Ye looked at Lu Zijin and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Let's go, it's time for us to take action." Lin Ye took Lu Zijin's hand and turned to walk towards the other end of the corridor.
"Where are you going?" Lu Zijin asked.
"Go find the truth." Lin Ye's tone was filled with an unprecedented firmness. "I have a feeling that the real challenge has just begun."
In the dim corridor, only the light footsteps of two people echoed.
"Lin Ye, why do you think that the Gu Qingcheng we just met might be fake?" Lu Zijin followed behind Lin Ye and finally asked the doubts in his heart.
Although she believed in Lin Ye's judgment, she thought about it for a long time and still couldn't figure out why.
Lin Ye stopped and turned to look at Lu Zijin: "What? Are you having doubts again?"
"I just think your speculation is too incredible." Lu Zijin frowned slightly, "If both Gu Qingchengs are fake, then where is the real Gu Qingcheng? What is the purpose of the mastermind behind this?"
"This is what we need to investigate clearly." Lin Ye did not directly answer Lu Zijin's question, but asked, "Do you remember what our mission this time is?"
"The main task is to protect the target, and the side task is to eliminate all the monsters." Lu Zijin answered without hesitation.
"That's right, but have you noticed that there is actually no direct connection between these two tasks?" Lin Ye guided Lu Zijin to think.
"What you mean is..." Lu Zijin was slightly stunned, then reacted, "You mean, to protect the target, it is not necessary to eliminate all the monsters. Similarly, eliminating all the monsters may not necessarily protect the target?"
"That's right." Lin Ye nodded, "These two tasks are more like two parallel lines that do not interfere with each other."
"But, what does this have to do with whether Gu Qingcheng is real or not?" Lu Zijin was even more confused. "Think about it, the first Gu Qingcheng acted very fake, right?" Lin Ye did not explain directly, but continued to guide Lu Zijin's thoughts.
"Yeah." Lu Zijin nodded. She and Lin Ye agreed on this point.
"So, we would naturally think that the second Gu Qingcheng we met was the real one." Lin Ye paused, his tone becoming meaningful, "But. Is this really the case?"
"This..." Lu Zijin was speechless. She suddenly realized that she seemed to have fallen into a misconception.
"We preconceived that the first Gu Qingcheng was fake, and it was to mislead us, let us relax our vigilance, and then believe in the second Gu Qingcheng." Lin Ye analyzed, "But what if this itself is a trap?"
"Trap?" Lu Zijin's heart shuddered. He seemed to have grasped something, but it was so vague and he couldn't see it clearly.
"And..." Lin Ye looked around, his eyes sweeping across the closed doors on both sides of the corridor, "Do you remember what those weirdos we met were?"
"Magic puppet." Lu Zijin answered without hesitation.
"Yes, they are all magic puppets." Lin Ye nodded, "But have you ever thought about where those so-called weirdos who can mimic other people's appearances are?"
Lu Zijin was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she seemed to have overlooked a very important issue.
Yes, if the final BOSS of this copy is really a monster that can mimic the appearance of other people, then why are the minions in the copy all magic puppets, instead of alien insects, evil spirits, etc.?
This doesn’t make sense!
unless
"Unless... it doesn't have the ability to transform into someone else's!" Lu Zijin blurted out, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.
"That's right." Lin Ye's mouth curled up into an icy smile, "Maybe, from the very beginning, we were fooled!"
The two went up all the way and finally reached the top floor of the hotel.
There were not many rooms on the top floor, only a few, and most of them were locked. Only the door of a room at the end of the corridor was ajar, as if inviting them in.
Lin Ye and Lu Zijin looked at each other and saw a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes.
"Be careful." Lin Ye said in a low voice, walked to the door first and gently pushed it open.
There was no light in the room, only faint moonlight streaming in from the window, casting long shadows on the floor, making the room seem even quieter and more eerie.
"Is anyone there?" Lu Zijin asked softly, turning on the driver's lighting effect. The bright light immediately dispelled the darkness in the room.
The room is simply furnished with only a bed, a wardrobe and a desk, and looks like an ordinary guest room.
At this moment, a slender figure was lying on the bed in the room. It was Gu Qingcheng, whom they had been looking for!
"Found it!" Lu Zijin was delighted and ran to the bedside, only to find that Gu Qingcheng's eyes were closed, his face was pale, his breathing was weak, and he seemed to be in a coma.
"What's wrong with her?" Lu Zijin subconsciously turned to look at Lin Ye and asked, "Is she injured?"
"Let me see." Lin Ye walked to the bedside, carefully checked Gu Qingcheng's physical condition, and frowned slightly.
"How is she?" Lu Zijin asked anxiously, "Is she okay?"
"It's nothing serious, but..." Lin Ye paused, his tone a little strange, "She seems to be asleep?"
