After hearing this, Doctor Zhao quickly frowned, feeling that this plan was very unreasonable.

“Are you serious about assassinating Han Yimo…?” he asked. “Is this a decision you’ve made as the ‘leader’…?”

“Han Yimo is in our opposing camp. There’s no problem with killing him,” Chu Tianqiu answered.

“So you’ve wanted to do this all along…?” Doctor Zhao said with a furrowed brow. “Chu Tianqiu… do you really not know that Han Yimo is an undercover agent we planted on their side…? He joined your ‘Heaven’s Gate’ before—how could he possibly work tirelessly for Qi Xia in this game without any reservations?”

After hearing this, Chu Tianqiu looked at Doctor Zhao with a meaningful glance and said, “Indeed, I didn’t guess it. Why would it be Han Yimo of all people?”

After hearing this, Doctor Zhao gradually felt a chill run down his back. He felt that Chu Tianqiu wasn’t saying he hadn’t guessed it, but rather that he didn’t plan to acknowledge Han Yimo’s identity at this moment.

“Are you kidding me… Are you putting on an act for me?!” Doctor Zhao said. “Han Yimo has been working tirelessly for our team since entering this game… Now you’re saying you don’t acknowledge him just like that, and you even want us to go kill him together… What exactly are you doing?”

“Doctor Zhao, have you misunderstood something?” Chu Tianqiu said. “From beginning to end, I’ve never acknowledged that Han Yimo is an undercover agent on our side. If I’m not mistaken… his identity was given by you.”

“So what if I gave it to him?!”

Doctor Zhao also seemed to get angry. Setting aside Han Yimo’s character, the two had operated together in this place for several days and had developed some feelings.

“Aren’t I thinking of our team?” He stepped forward and confronted Chu Tianqiu angrily. “Even if Han Yimo has to die, it shouldn’t be now, killed by us!”

After hearing this, Chu Tianqiu slowly frowned. Doctor Zhao thought he would explain or deny a few things, but in the end, Chu Tianqiu revealed a bitter smile.

Why was it like this…? Chu Tianqiu felt depressed in his heart. Every single person here couldn’t understand his thoughts.

“Tianqiu,” Wen Qiaoyun called from the side. “Do you have some unspeakable difficulty…?”

“Unspeakable difficulty…?” Chu Tianqiu smiled bitterly. “Do you want me to tell you the truth?”

“Even if the game fails after I tell you the truth… you still think it doesn’t matter?” Chu Tianqiu asked again.

After hearing this, Wen Qiaoyun nodded. “Tianqiu, the team already has a crisis of trust… It would be better to make things clear here.”

Chu Tianqiu gave a bitter laugh. “Fine, then I’ll tell you. I originally thought that with Han Yimo on the other side, he could bring calamity to the other side. He could think ‘the team is going to lose,’ ‘this team won’t work,’ but from his selfish, narrow-minded perspective, what circles in his mind is merely ‘the undercover agent is going to lose.'”

“If the situation is really like this, you can tell us…” Wen Qiaoyun still didn’t quite understand. “Right now, it’s just that the development of events has deviated from your original plan… We can still find a way.”

“If I accurately tell you this news, you definitely won’t think ‘we’ve completely abandoned Han Yimo.’ You’ll only think ‘Han Yimo can still be saved,'” Chu Tianqiu said. “As long as you harbor this thought, you’ll unconditionally radiate kindness to save him, and he won’t completely abandon the idea of being an undercover agent, ultimately leading us to failure.”

After hearing this, both Wen Qiaoyun and Doctor Zhao couldn’t help but fall silent.

“Qiaoyun, I once told you that dealing with unintelligent people is truly exhausting,” Chu Tianqiu shook his head. “I no longer have the patience to explain the situation one by one. I just hope you’ll follow my plan.”

After hearing this, Doctor Zhao opened his mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start.

“This is Han Yimo’s subconscious at work,” Chu Tianqiu said, looking at Doctor Zhao again. “It’s not something that can be salvaged by what he does or corrects. Go kill him now and pull this match back on track.”

At this moment, Wen Qiaoyun suddenly thought of something. “But this doesn’t seem to work… Han Yimo just said that Qiao Jiajin has always been guarding the rear of the other side. With just Doctor Zhao and Jin Yuanxun… it definitely won’t work.”

“Qiao Jiajin is guarding the other side’s rear…?” Chu Tianqiu thought for a moment. “Did you ask about this, or did he volunteer this information?”

“He volunteered it…”

“It’s false,” Chu Tianqiu said decisively. “I was originally wondering whether Qiao Jiajin was seriously injured. Now it seems he might not even be able to move. The reason Han Yimo was able to get Chen Junnan’s ‘character’ might be because he made some kind of deal with Chen Junnan, and accurately conveying this message to you is part of the deal.”

“Ah…?” Wen Qiaoyun was startled. “Would they think so far ahead?”

Chu Tianqiu sighed. “The actual situation might be even more far-reaching than this, but they think I’m too easy to fool. Qiaoyun, you also participate in the ‘assassinate Han Yimo’ mission. Even if we don’t succeed this time, we must show Han Yimo our killing intent. Only this way can we completely liberate our team.”

Wen Qiaoyun nodded, calculating the plan in her mind.

Chu Tianqiu looked at Doctor Zhao again. “Didn’t you go to the ‘front line’? Why did you suddenly come back?”

“Ah… I… Oh right.” Doctor Zhao hurriedly said. “Qi Xia has started making his move… He came to our side’s ‘Snake’ room. I don’t know what he’s up to.”

“Coming to our side alone…?” Chu Tianqiu thought for a moment. “Did he bring ‘characters’?”

“He did!” Doctor Zhao nodded. “I saw with my own eyes that he walked out from the ‘door’ inside the room, then picked up three ‘characters’ from the ground. And he also had me tell you that ‘if you continue to stay in the standby zone, you’re just sitting and awaiting your doom.'”

After hearing this, Chu Tianqiu narrowed his eyes and quickly thought it through. Picking up “characters” from the ground after exiting? That naturally meant he dropped the “characters” and then chose to enter the door.

“He’s investigating the secrets of the ‘cross the river’ rooms,” Chu Tianqiu said. “But why bring so many ‘characters’ to investigate…?”

“Tianqiu… are you going to make your move now?” Wen Qiaoyun asked. “It feels like more than half the time has passed, and even Qi Xia has made his move…”

“I have a plan,” Chu Tianqiu said. “Change the person assigned to kill Han Yimo. Everyone else attacks together. This was originally a losing situation anyway. Now we completely abandon the ‘Standby Zone,’ and everyone moves out together, striving to decide the outcome before the other side has countermeasures.”

After finishing, Chu Tianqiu thought again about the actions of Qi Xia that Doctor Zhao had described. Placing “characters” on the ground and walking out through the door—this directly indicated that what’s inside the “door” would be related to the “characters.”

“So pieces that ‘cannot cross the river’ will see something different when they open the door… is it ‘Earth-level’?” Chu Tianqiu murmured to himself for a while, then said to Doctor Zhao and Wen Qiaoyun, “Go find Xu Liunian and Jin Yuanxun. Regardless of whether the pieces in your hands can cross the river or not, everyone ‘crosses the river’ together and strives to trap the other side in the game.”
