What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

An Chen and the others' view was severely obstructed.

"Alas..." Jiuge couldn't help but let out a soft "Alas..."

"Let's hold back until Zhang Zhidong returns." An Chen turned on the flashlight he had prepared in advance and gestured to Jiu Ge and the Knight not to stray too far from him.

"Bilibili."

The next second, the knight plunged his rapier into the ground.

“It smells of blood,” he said.

……

"Hmm? Where are you taking me to play?"

Should we go to the left?

"But it's so dark over there."

"I'm so scared."

"But I won't be scared if you stay with me the whole time."

A woman's voice rang out.

Zhang Zhidong kept drifting north.

He hasn't seen any of the animal footprints that An Chen mentioned so far.

However, strange noises kept coming from one place to another along the way.

"Coming."

"We'll be there soon."

"We're almost there, we're almost there."

"Just a little more effort and we'll be there."

A middle-aged man's voice also rang in Zhang Zhidong's ears.

"You're just making things complicated!" Zhang Zhidong exclaimed.

From the moment he entered the Man-Eating Mountain, he constantly heard all sorts of complicated sounds.

Unlike what An Chen and the others heard, Zhang Zhidong heard more sounds.

He even faintly smelled some strange odors.

With Zhang Zhidong's keen intuition.

He immediately deduced that these voices could not have come from the evil spirit he had sensed earlier.

Of course, it wasn't the dead who were deliberately causing trouble.

There were no animal footprints or strange marks; the forest was excessively clean.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Zhidong landed on the ground.

His professional instincts kicked in, and he began searching the area for any remains.

If none of those missing people have been found.

Unless "The Plum Blossom Spring" is directly recreated, there is no hope of survival.

It has to be said that not having a physical store is really inconvenient.

Zhang Zhidong's hands couldn't actually lift the stone, let alone peel back the clumps of weeds to examine it carefully.

The experience and practical skills gained during one's lifetime in handling cases are simply useless in real life.

"Haha. Not bad! This is terrible." Zhang Zhidong gave a rare wry smile.

This is much more difficult than performing spiritual diagnosis on a spirit.

Although he could see every blade of grass, every tree, and every stone on the ground precisely thanks to the golden light emanating from his body and his inexplicable ability to see directly in the dark, Zhang Zhidong had not yet completely broken free from his habits from his previous life, nor had he accurately defined his own persona.

He had been glorious for a very long time, but he himself did not have a real sense of death.

Even after becoming a spirit, Zhang Zhidong has always upheld the principle of serving the people, right up to this day.

Living or dying makes no difference to him.

Life is death, and death is life.

Wherever Zhang Zhidong is, there will never be any accidents.

Chapter 210 Just Say You Want Me to Kiss You (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

An Chen and Jiu Ge did not smell the blood that the knight had mentioned.

An Chen smelled something burning.

Jiuge smelled the aroma of ice cream.

If the smells that the Knight and An Chen smelled were somewhat reasonable in the context of the scene, then the smell that Jiu Ge smelled was pure nonsense.

After discussing and studying the smell for a while without success, the three of them simply took a few napkins, spread them on the ground, and squatted down around the rapier.

About twenty minutes passed, and Zhang Zhidong still hadn't returned.

Terrified, Jiuge held up a flashlight and shone it on her face, pretending to be a ghost.

An Chen and the knight showed no reaction whatsoever when they saw the ghost dressed as Jiu Ge.

They both reached a consensus, and were completely in agreement that Jiu Ge, dressed as a ghost, was absolutely adorable.

Bored out of his mind, An Chen decided to use his main account to lure out everything in the Man-Eating Mountain and wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

However, considering that there might be spies from the association watching from the outside, even if he used illusion and shielding magic at the same time, he couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be the slightest mistake, so he had no choice but to give up.

After all, concealing one's abilities is easy, but concealing the energy released is difficult.

The same applies to the Gouzi Bay incident. Because it was in an illusion, and the knight inside was unconscious, there was no risk in him unleashing his ultimate attack.

But things are different now.

Just like he used to do.

It's easy to get a score of 75 in all subjects, but it's easy to accidentally reveal your skillful movements in practical classes.

Deceiving the Association is relatively simple; using illusions to mislead potential spies is easy, and creating many illusions to protect Zhang Zhidong and the Knights is also simple. However, controlling the explosion to minimize the number of places destroyed when unleashing the ultimate attack is difficult.

Otherwise, An Chen wouldn't have chosen only one place when meeting his friends.

"An Chen, what were you saying just now?" Jiu Ge suddenly took the upside-down flashlight down her face.

"Huh? I didn't say anything." An Chen was confused.

He was thinking about something and didn't say anything at all.

"Miss Jiuge, I think I just heard you say something about how delicious An Chen's ice cream is." The knight scratched his head, sounding puzzled.

"Bang bang bang."

"Bang bang bang."

"Huh? I didn't say anything like that. I've never exchanged ice cream with An Chen before." Jiu Ge was stunned.

"Oh dear..." The flashlight fell to the ground, and she suddenly hugged An Chen next to her.

“But I definitely heard it,” the knight replied honestly.

He did hear Jiu Ge's voice just now.

"Jiuge, did you hear what I just said?" An Chen said, patting Jiuge's head.

“I heard you say something about Uncle Knight…” Jiu Ge hugged An Chen tighter and tighter.

Suddenly, she released An Chen and moved a few steps toward the knight.

"Are you my An Chen?" Jiu Ge asked warily.

If everyone is now hearing a voice that doesn't exist, does that mean that the voice that doesn't exist is actually the real person, and that they are actually clones that have been replaced?

The real self, along with An Chen, the Knight, and Zhang Zhidong, have actually disappeared.

Thinking about the nature of the man-eating mountain, her imagination ran wild.

“…If you want me to kiss you, just say so,” An Chen said softly.

"..." Jiuge remained silent.

Such shamelessness must really be An Chen.

Then there's no problem.

“I’m An Chen,” An Chen suddenly spoke again.

He can still sense whether the people here are the real people, and whether anyone has been switched.

"Huh?" Jiuge was stunned.

"Didn't you already say... if you want me to kiss you, just say so?" Her heart started pounding again.

It wasn't because I was shy, but because it was terrifying to think about.

“Although I do want to say that, the current situation is not suitable to say it…” An Chen looked at Jiu Ge with suspicion.

“How did you know I wanted to say that?” he asked.

If Jiuge wasn't experiencing auditory hallucinations or psychological effects due to everyone's conversation just now, then it can only mean that there's something special about this place.

"I..." Jiuge completely chickened out.

She looked around, picked up the flashlight from the ground again, and curled up into a ball, trembling.

As she trembled, Jiuge seemed to hear the knight utter a strange laugh.

When you look over at the knight, he's still scratching his head.

He didn't speak, let alone laugh.

"Bang bang bang."

"Bang bang bang."
