Chapter 1288: Favor or Grudge?

The two of them destroyed most of the “doors” they encountered along the way. Jin Yuanxun turned his head to look at this seemingly endless corridor, feeling that just destroying these “Work Area” doors would already take an entire night.

What about the “Interview Area” next? Would there be enough time for them to complete this seemingly absurd plan?

“Bro, do we really have no helpers?” Jin Yuanxun stared at the depths of the corridor and asked again.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Chen Junnan said. “I fucking just came up with this plan—how could I possibly have helpers?”

“But…”

Jin Yuanxun felt that something was a bit off in the depths of the corridor. In a very distant place, there seemed to be unclear figures moving about.

Were they Participants who were escaping?

“Little Jin, what are you looking at?”

“Bro, my eyesight is very good.” Jin Yuanxun pointed his hand toward the distance. “There seem to be some people over there…”

Chen Junnan looked in the direction Jin Yuanxun was pointing and discovered that there were indeed two swaying figures in the very far distance. They didn’t look like they were escaping, but rather seemed to be lingering in place.

“Little Jin, this is exactly why, when this young master saw you from far away, I absolutely had to pull you in.” Chen Junnan said with a mischievous smile. “This ‘Train’ is open from south to north, and your ability makes you accessible in all directions. If you feel there’s a problem over there, you can just go and look.”

“Huh?”

“You don’t understand my suffering.” Chen Junnan said. “Although this place looks like just a straight road, this young master has to walk every step himself—I’m exhausted to death. So your appearance, kid, can both help me relay messages and help me scout ahead. Otherwise, why would I say that this fool has fool’s luck?”

“Alright, bro, stop cursing. Can’t I just go?” Jin Yuanxun helplessly shook his head.

The next second he disappeared from his spot and appeared out of thin air in the distance. Chen Junnan squinted his eyes to look—the situation was a bit strange.

After a minute or two, Jin Yuanxun nodded in the distance, then took a step back, disappeared from that spot, and returned to Chen Junnan’s side.

“What’s the situation?” Chen Junnan asked. “Are those people willing to join us? We’re still in a hurry here. Once we finish smashing the ‘doors’ early, we should go find Old Qi.”

“Bro…” Jin Yuanxun’s expression showed a trace of difficulty. He smiled bitterly and said, “I’ll tell bro something—don’t be scared.”

After hearing this, Chen Junnan’s expression changed: “What kind of thing is that to say? I’m fucking already starting to get scared after hearing it…”

“It’s just… just…” Jin Yuanxun shook his head. “I just ran into two sisters, and after one of them heard your name, she said to tell you, this bastard, to stay right where you are—she’s coming over to talk to you personally. She looked very angry…”

“Good, that matches up.” Chen Junnan scratched his head. “I fucking knew there weren’t many people who could inexplicably make me afraid.”

“What should we do, bro?” Jin Yuanxun tugged at his arm. “Did you kill her before or something? Why don’t you run first, and I’ll block her for you like that.”

“Block what the hell…” Chen Junnan let out a deep sigh. “You’re making it sound like some great demon king is coming… I didn’t kill her. I just untimely saved her once. Who would have thought that saving and saving, I’d end up saving myself into a grudge.”

The sound of footsteps approached from far to near, and those two figures began walking quickly toward them.

“Little Jin, didn’t you say there were two sisters? Who’s the other one?” Chen Junnan stared into the distance and asked.

“She’s a ‘Zodiac.'” Jin Yuanxun said. “An Ox sister. When I went over, I got such a fright—I thought I was going to meet my end there.”

“Ox…?” Chen Junnan furrowed his brows and thought for a while. “No way… This combination of theirs is too bizarre. What are they doing here?”

“They’re planning to destroy the ‘doors.'”

“What?!”

Within a few minutes, the two figures arrived before Chen Junnan. They were unmistakably Qin Dingdong and an Earth-Ox.

“You bastard…” Qin Dingdong said. “Why are you here too?”

“No, wait a minute, Sister Dong.” Chen Junnan waved his hand. “Your use of the word ‘too’ leaves me rather confused…”

“Is your task also to destroy the ‘doors’?” Qin Dingdong asked again. “How come I’ve never heard you mention it…?”

“Task…?” After hearing this, Chen Junnan was immediately struck speechless. “This is your task?”

After hearing this, Qin Dingdong also paused: “You fucking…”

She walked forward and immediately grabbed Chen Junnan’s arm, pulling him far to the side, and asked in a low voice: “You fucking don’t even know about the ‘task,’ and you stumbled here by accident?!”

“This young master really doesn’t have any task…” Chen Junnan said. “I was just strolling around while looking for something to do. Unfortunately, I can’t beat the Zodiacs, and I can’t save the Participants either. After thinking it over, only destroying the ‘doors’ counts as a clever move…”

“You fucking…” Qin Dingdong was stunned for a moment, then said to Chen Junnan, “You bastard… Are you lying to me? Do you want to deliberately die for me again?”

“Huh?” Chen Junnan was at a loss for words for a moment. “No… This young master really can’t clear his name now. Sister Dong, you really have to believe me. This time I’m really not deliberately dying for you. We just happened to run into each other by chance—don’t overthink it.”

“So you’re admitting that you actively died for me last time?” Qin Dingdong said through gritted teeth. “Chen Junnan, you bastard…”

“No… Wait a minute. We’re just chatting—how are you blocking me from both ends?”

“Back then you righteously said to me ‘you won’t die,’ then blocked the knife for me and disappeared directly…” Qin Dingdong grew more and more furious as she spoke. “I fucking thought you became a ‘Native’ or disappeared directly. I felt guilty for a full seven years! When I saw you appear before me with that grinning face, I was about to explode with anger. When you were acting cool, did you ever care about how other people’s days would go?!”

“Aiyou…” Chen Junnan was scolded by Qin Dingdong from head to toe, but clearly had no temper at all. “Sister Dong… Let’s not talk about these things right now…”

“I don’t want to talk about it either! But you’re looking for death again now!” Qin Dingdong said. “When will you ever fix this bad habit of yours?”

“Looking for death?” Chen Junnan was amused by Qin Dingdong and smiled bitterly. “No way… This young master is destroying public property—surely that crime doesn’t deserve death?”

“Your brain is really sometimes smart and sometimes stupid…” Qin Dingdong said with some anger. “To Qinglong and Heavenly-Dragon, killing Zodiacs really doesn’t deserve death. After all, Zodiacs can be continuously manufactured. But if someone dares to destroy these ‘doors,’ it’s almost directly cutting off their rule. No matter what, they couldn’t possibly be let off…”

“So what?” Chen Junnan asked back. “As long as this rebellion wins, won’t everything be fine?”
