Chapter 1065: The Bell Rings

“That’s wonderful…” After hearing this, Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief. “If I can ‘Echo,’ I’ll be able to help Qi Xia.”

After hearing this, Zheng Yingxiong nodded. In that moment, he felt like he wasn’t lying, but just doing his best to help others.

He seemed to have become the most effective statue in the center of a wishing well. As long as he spoke, whoever he wanted to be wealthy would become wealthy. How could this be considered lying?

“Little Brother Yingxiong, shall we move together later?” Tiantian asked.

“No.” Zheng Yingxiong shook his head. “It feels like some kind of seal here is being lifted. I’m gradually able to smell everyone’s scents.”

“Really?” Tiantian nodded. “That’s great. Our team is lucky to have you.”

“Mm… Sister, you go ahead with what you’re doing. I’ll be going now.”

Zheng Yingxiong left Tiantian’s room and quickly determined his next target.

The advance rehearsal had ended. He had to immediately find Han Yimo. After all, this was the easiest task. Only after completing this stage would it be possible to go have a few words with Chen Junnan.

But Zheng Yingxiong never expected that when he found Han Yimo, Chen Junnan would be standing right there.

The two of them were both guarding the “Preparation Area.” Han Yimo looked somewhat bruised and swollen, as if he had gone through something.

Now Zheng Yingxiong was in a difficult position…

The easiest task and the most difficult task were standing together… what should he do?

“What’s wrong?” Chen Junnan asked. “Coming back from the front lines with some advice?”

Zheng Yingxiong scratched his head and began quickly calculating his next tactics. The best method would naturally be to call Han Yimo away alone and announce his “fragrance” in another room.

Seeing Zheng Yingxiong not speaking for a long time, Chen Junnan gradually felt something was off.

He slowly walked forward, bent down with a smile on his face, and asked: “Little brother, feeling a bit uncomfortable somewhere?”

After hearing this, Zheng Yingxiong frowned: “Chen Junnan, you’re being a bit scary.”

“Damn you, call me ‘Bro’!” Chen Junnan wanted to reach out and press down on Zheng Yingxiong’s head, but Zheng Yingxiong turned and dodged.

Zheng Yingxiong knew that continuing to stall like this wasn’t a solution. If he didn’t come up with a countermeasure soon, he would be suspected before even tackling Chen Junnan. So he could only take a deep breath and say: “Chen Junnan, I’m not here for you. I’m here for him.”

He pointed at Han Yimo nearby.

“Me…?” Han Yimo was startled.

“Right.” Zheng Yingxiong nodded. “I have something to say to him, so the two of us need to go to the next room.”

After hearing this, Chen Junnan’s expression became somewhat unnatural. He felt the situation might be getting a bit awkward, because a very tricky problem lay before him—

Did Zheng Yingxiong know that Han Yimo was a mole…?

Chen Junnan had many concerns in his heart. First, he was afraid that Zheng Yingxiong would blindly trust Han Yimo, causing the team to suffer losses. He was also afraid that Zheng Yingxiong had seen through Han Yimo’s mole identity and would expose him directly.

Right now, Han Yimo’s mental state was at a delicate balance point. This team could neither trust him too much nor expose him publicly.

Although everyone except Han Yimo himself seemed to know he was a mole, this mole had to be allowed to continue acting safely and with peace of mind.

Once he discovered his identity was completely exposed, he might very well choose to turn and join Qi Xia’s camp to save his own life. If Han Yimo truly began to be loyal to Qi Xia, that would be earth-shattering bad news for everyone. Some people couldn’t be enemies, couldn’t be teammates, and could only be moles.

“Wait… wait a minute… kid.” Chen Junnan reached out to placate Zheng Yingxiong. “Whatever it is… why don’t you say it here in front of everyone? I can also offer some ideas.”

After hearing this, Zheng Yingxiong thought to himself “as expected.” Trying to get Chen Junnan to let him go was indeed a pipe dream.

“Chen Junnan… this matter…” Zheng Yingxiong said hesitantly. “It’s not convenient to say in front of you. I can only talk to Han Yimo alone.”

Chen Junnan thought to himself “this is bad.” Just from this statement alone, what Zheng Yingxiong was about to do was most likely related to being a “mole.”

Han Yimo looked at these two people speaking in riddles with some confusion, feeling the atmosphere on the scene had become somewhat tense.

But he didn’t know what the two wanted to say, and could only stare at them blankly.

“How about this…” Chen Junnan said. “Tell me what your conversation will be about. If the content isn’t interesting, then I won’t go.”

After hearing this, Zheng Yingxiong paused and said: “It’s about ‘Echo.'”

When Chen Junnan heard it was about “Echo,” he knew this matter was basically set in stone. After all, Han Yimo’s “Echo” was “Inviting Disaster,” which was also the most powerful weapon in this game—although this weapon was only effective against the enemies of “Inviting Disaster.”

If Zheng Yingxiong wanted to talk to him alone, it was naturally about “Inviting Disaster.” But now, how could he subtly persuade Zheng Yingxiong to give up?

For a moment, neither of them could think of a good method. They just remained silent for a long time without speaking.

“Forget it…” Zheng Yingxiong sighed. “I already expected this wouldn’t work.”

Zheng Yingxiong knew he couldn’t handle Chen Junnan, but to avoid making the mission failure look too bad, he at least had to handle Han Yimo.

“Won’t work…?”

“Chen Junnan, I’ll be honest.” Zheng Yingxiong said. “I just don’t want to talk to you right now. I only want to talk to Han Yimo.”

“Huh? Why is that?” Chen Junnan said. “Do I not look good at conversation?”

“Anyway, I just don’t want to talk to you. Go wherever you want.” Zheng Yingxiong reached out and grabbed Han Yimo. “Come with me. I really have something to tell you.”

Just as he grabbed Han Yimo, Zheng Yingxiong’s nose was once again stimulated by a very strong smell. He turned his head to look, and the scent seemed to be emanating from Qiao Jiajin lying by the wall.

This smell was truly too strong, as if it had already become substantial.

It was the rich fragrance of “Breaking Ten Thousand Laws.”

It seemed this person had found his “opportunity” in his sleep and believed one hundred percent that he had already obtained his “Echo.”

Zheng Yingxiong immediately reached up to cover his nose. His muffled voice came out: “Han Yimo, let’s go quickly.”

Seeing the two of them flee the room as if escaping for their lives, Chen Junnan seemed to think of something… Why was this kid Zheng Yingxiong covering his nose while running?

Chen Junnan raised his arm and sniffed it, but didn’t smell anything.

Zheng Yingxiong came to the next room. After stabilizing his breathing, he said to Han Yimo: “I smelled your fragrance… you’ve already ‘Echoed.'”

“Huh?” After hearing this, Han Yimo was stunned. A few seconds later, he uttered a few words: “What do you mean I’ve ‘Echoed’? What are you doing…?”

“I…”

Zheng Yingxiong blinked and began patiently explaining his ability, telling the other party that he was the “Giant Bell” here who could know everyone’s “Echo.”

The reason he had to pull him out of the room was precisely because the other people hadn’t “Echoed” at that time. Saying it in front of them would easily make the others feel inferior.
