Chapter 186 - Meeting with Chu Tiankuo Again (1/2)
Chapter 186 Meeting with Chu Tiankuo AgainYe Yifan’s words reminded Tang Xia that her task was “to survive”. If the murderer’s goal was just to kill someone, then it didn’t matter to him who it was. That was why she and Ye Yifan’s task was “to survive”.
Looking at Tang Xia, who had sunk into thinking, Ye Yifan smiled slightly because Tang Xia’s manner had a special charm.
Tang Xia thought deeper, “If the murderer was killing for no reason, Fang Yan wouldn’t pass the buck for Zhang Yaoyao’s death and Dabing getting injured. But there remain so many doubts.”
Tang Xia looked at Ye Yifan and asked him about her confusion, “But why? What’s his motivation? Why would Fang Yan do this? And who killed Fang Yan? Why didn’t the killer who killed Fang Yan let go of Song Sisi?”
She did not quite understand why the time-travel plot was so much like a detective plot, while their only task was to survive. But she was not suitable to handle a case! She would have begged the murderer to kill her directly had it not been for the task.
Ye Yifan was also puzzled. He said, “Is there any relationship between Fang Yan and the man who killed him?”
But that did not make sense. There was no evidence for that at all!
Looking at Ye Yifan, Tang Xia easily said out loud what Ye Yifan failed to express, “Do you mean that Fang Yan had been in cooperation with the man who killed him?”
Tang Xia shook her head instantly after she had finished her words. “No, if Fang Yan had been engaged in murdering people just to kill for no reason, he couldn’t have cooperated with anyone. But who is this murderer that popped out? What does he want?”
An idea occurred to Ye Yifan, and he said, “Are they both lunatic murderers?”
Tang Xia shivered after hearing Ye Yifan’s words, though they might be true according to psychology.
Some mentally ill lunatics always killed people as a way of provoking the police and society. But this was f*cking horrible. And men with such mentality had to be extremists.
Tang Xia denied Ye Yifan’s assumption. “No, if Fang Yan were a murderous lunatic, why didn’t he set off killing before he arrived here? And there was no such force that could drive him to be a murderous lunatic.”
Generally, criminals with the mentality of taking revenge on society were those who hadn’t gotten enough love and who had been abandoned by society when they were children. In their mind, they were the law, and they took revenge on society to uphold justice.
Ye Yifan said exhaustedly and worriedly, “When will such things stop happening to us? Now Fang Yan is dead, but it doesn’t seem to be over. It feels like we are stuck in a thick mist.”
He had encountered events more bizarre than this one but never felt so exhausted at that time, so what happened to him this time? Before, he had never cared about the lives of the people living in the worlds that he had to conquer, but he felt quite different this time.
At this point, the sound of clapping came from the dark. A man walked out and applauded them. “You got it. But I don’t mean that you seem to have gotten it, I mean that you’ve got it absolutely. It’s not over here yet, and it won’t be over unless I allow it to be!”
Having lost her mind, Song Sisi rushed to the corner, screaming on seeing that man and kept muttering, “Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!”
She seemed to have gone mad. But what drew Tang Xia’s and Ye Yifan’s attention was that man walking out from the dark. They hardly had time to think about how Song Sisi felt.
They wouldn’t have cared about her feelings even if they had noticed her.
Gazing at the man coming from the dark, Ye Yifan tightly furrowed his brow. “Who is this man? Did he kill Fang Yan? Why would he kill Fang Yan?”
Tang Xia was startled the instant that man walked out of the dark. She gazed at him, although she was neither as terrified as Song Sisi nor as puzzled as Ye Yifan.
“It’s him! He’s shown up again!”
The man looked at Tang Xia in a strange way. He smiled slightly and said gently, “We are predestined to meet. This is the fourth time that we have met, Tang Xia.”
This time, instead of calling Tang Xia a base servant washing others’ feet, Chu Tiankuo called her by her name.
Tang Xia said incredulously, “Chu Tiankuo? Are you Chu Tiankuo?”
Since Chu Tiankuo’s last disappearance from her previous live show, she had been worrying about him. Now she met him again at last. Indeed, this was the fourth time that they had met with each other. Almost every time, this man would help her. Would he offer a helping hand this time?
Ye Yifan’s eyes seem trying to dig a hole into Chu Tiankuo’s body. “Is this the broadcast room’s bug, Chu Tiankuo, who had entangled with Tang Xia four times and who had helped Tang Xia out three times?”
Under such a strained condition, Chu Tiankuo should have the mood to tease Tang Xia and joke with her. He said, “Could there be a second bug named Chu Tiankuo in your broadcast room? Xiaxia, who else would it be apart from me?”
In Tang Xia’s eyes, this was merely a joke, but to Ye Yifan, it was a provocation, which showed Chu Tiankuo’s scorn for the broadcast room.
Ye Yifan said suddenly, “Chu Tiankuo, mark my words, the broadcast room will destroy you sooner or later, you bug.”
Chu Tiankuo did not cast his eyes at Ye Yifan until he heard Ye Yifan’s words. He said indifferently, “Has that day come now?”
When Chu Tiankuo said this, he was telling Ye Yifan not to talk about what would happen in the future because the future was always filled with changes and no one was able to make it clear.
Chu Tiankuo’s words left Ye Yifan speechless.
