GOR Chapter 20: I Cannot Do It

Chen Xiaolian turned over his body as he lied on the ground; the intense pain on his leg caused him to be unable to stand up. He first glanced around to search for Han Bi. After seeing Han Bi standing together with Sara and Takashimoto Shizuka and Soo Soo being safely held on by Du Ya and Pattern Man respectively… he felt his heart easing up.

Han Bi directed a complicated gaze at Chen Xiaolian. He hesitated and chose not to move over.

They were in a stone chamber. Although the place was dark, there were some fragments of pearl like items affixed upon the ceiling. They emitted a faint light.

The stone chamber was not big and another stone door lied to the side.

“Everyone is still alive, right?” Newton sat on the ground, brushing off the dust on his body.

“We are all alive,” Sara moved over and helped Newton up. “But it truly was dangerous. We were nearly buried alive. The kid’s plan was too dangerous.”

“But it was a success. The danger was caused by someone doing something they should not have done! That caused an error to occur in the timing of explosions.”

Newton’s face suddenly turned dark. He abruptly walked before Damon; he raised his hand and slapped Damon in the face!

Pa!

A deep and clear sound rang out!

The slap caused Damon to stumble backwards. In anger, he raised his gigantic sword.

“What, are you thinking of slashing me to death?” Newton remained immobile and simply looked at Damon coldly.

Damon’s complexion turned red; he wheezed as he breathed heavily. Finally, he gritted his teeth and released the sword.

“The reason I beat you is because you disobeyed my orders. In addition, you did something you should not have done!” Newton violently lashed out. “I assigned you to provide cover for Xiaolian while he sets up the explosives. When you saw him being attacked by the Stealth Hound Demon, why did you run away? If not for me saving him, he would have no time to press the detonation button! He was able to thanks to my help! Even so, an error had occurred in the timing of explosions! The direction of the collapse spread beyond my estimation and all of us were nearly buried alive!”

After saying that, Newton suddenly delivered a kick towards Damon’s stomach. The kick threw Damon aside, a mouthful of blood spraying out from his mouth.

“I need an explanation!” Newton did not simply let this matter slide.

“He is an eyesore to me; I just want to kill him,” Damon forcefully wiped his mouth. “In addition, I suspect his origins! This guy could potentially be an ‘Awakened!”

Awakened?

Hearing this strange term, Chen Xiaolian’s mind was filled with doubts. However, it was clear that to the members of the Wind Slasher Guild, the term Awakened is not a welcomed name. In addition, the other team members too eyed Chen Xiaolian with eagle like gazes!

Newton’s face turned severe, he restrained his fury. “You… do you have evidence?”

“None, so far I have only been suspecting,” Damon coldly replied. “But I have reasons to be suspicious.”

“State your reasons,” Newton spoke in a hoarse voice.

“Back then, for the sake of saving a little girl who is a NPC he ended up getting wounded. This level of concern, is it not suspicious?” Damon sneered. “Also, his suggestion to use explosions to trigger the collapse, the idea is certainly good… however, I believe that the reason he suggested it was to stop us from using the two NPCs as bait. That is why he suggested the plan – he only wanted to protect the two NPCs.”

“This is not enough to confirm it,” Newton replied with indifference. “It is only your speculation.”

“Hmph, Newton, you yourself should be clear on whether my words are logical or not,” Damon sneered.

Beside them, Pattern Man, Sara and Du Ya had strange looks on their faces. Pattern Man slowly said. “Newton, I feel that the things Damon said are indeed suspicious. Who would let themselves get hurt to save a little girl who is a NPC?”

Newton grunted, he turned around and stared at Chen Xiaolian who was on the ground. “Xiaolian, I will give you a fair chance to defend yourself. Why did you want to save the little girl?”

“…” Chen Xiaolian thought about it, and then sighed before smiling bitterly. “If I say… it is because I am a lolicon, would you believe me?”

… …

…

Naturally, no one believed those words.

“Just kill him. Since he is unable to defend himself, better to unjustly kill than to not kill. Besides, he is just a newbie,” The one who spoke out was Du Ya who sneered at Chen Xiaolian.

Newton’s face remained still, his expression solemn, not speaking up at all.

“Actually, there is another reason to suspect him,” Damon slowly said after pondering. “From the very first time we brought him into our camp, I have had this suspicion. When Sara was introducing our team, she told him that our team is the Wind Slasher Guild. This guy did not show any reaction at all. Heng! Even though our Wind Slasher Guild is not a top-level team, we could still be considered famous. For a newbie to be able to enter Wind Slasher Guild, even if they are only the temporary members, they should show some reaction, right? However, after hearing our guild’s name, he did not even bat an eyelid. Moreover… when Sara revealed that you are called Newton, this guy also remained calm, as though the name he heard was Dick or Paul. [1]

Heng! For a newbie, would these actions not cause any suspicion?”

Chen Xiaolian’s mind was stunned!

He finally realized where his initial flaws were!

He ended up exposing himself after all!
