Falling: How to Survive as a Cannon Fodder

HTSCF CH 015 Who is the real murderer?

Jun was about to respond when something caught his eye on the tv. Participant G was just found dead.

This didn't make sense! One couldn't blame Jun for his sudden zoning out. After all, when the supposed murderer of the world's plot is found dead, how else was he supposed to react?

|Um, System?|

|Dearest Host! You haven't talked to this system in forever! This system thought you had forgotten about me, uwu.|

|Don't you 'uwu' me! It's only been a week at most! What happened to the plot? Why is the murderer dead?|

|Alright, alright, let me check...|

While Jun waited for a response, Ezekiel was still waiting for his response, but seeing the dazed look on his face, he yielded, seeming to be used to such a thing. He couldn't remember, but he had a feeling that Jun would return to reality soon.

|Host, good news!|

|What good news? It's never good news coming from you.|

|You wound me, dearest Host. Maybe I just won't tell you. Humph!|

|...|

|Alright, I'll tell you, I'll tell you! Only because I adore you, dearest Host, ok? You must appreciate this system, ok?|

|Yeah, ok.|

|... That didn't sound too honest but it'll do. Anyway, the good news is that you've unlocked the super special ultra-delicious Hidden Mission! Normally it'll unlock once you complete the Main Mission, but in the last world you 'died' right after, so it didn't appear. In this world, the plot has deviated in a way that automatically unlocked the Hidden Mission. If you complete the Hidden Mission, you can stay in this world until you die naturally under a lifetime protection period. Isn't that great!?|

|Wow, that was long.|

|Host!|

|Alright fine, what's the Hidden Mission?|

|It's simple. Find the real murderer!|

|So participant G was never the real murderer?|

|Nope!|

|Well shit, then that protagonist shou is just unreliable!|

|A lot of things have changed so...|

That was true. For one, he wasn't the first victim and was still alive. For another, nothing ever happened between Asher Xavier and Ezekiel...

'Oh shit!'

Realizing that he had left Ezekiel on hold for at least several minutes, Jun ran back to reality to say: "I'm sorry, what did you say?"

"Then... Will you marry me after our contract ends?"

Jun wanted to go back to zoning out, but that would be cruel. But seriously, what was with these two men and jumping right to marriage? Shouldn't they date first? Not to mention, he couldn't marry two men.

"No way, Jun will be marrying me first," Theodore interjected.

"No, it'll be me first," said Ezekiel. Both had forgotten that Jun hadn't agreed to marry either of them.

'So the issue isn't about who would marry me but who first?'

Jun wanted to laugh as this thought ran through his mind. Unable to stand it anymore he shouted: "Shouldn't it be dating first!?"

Ezekiel and Theodore looked at each other and seemed to be having a psychic conversation with one another as this lasted for a full minute.

"Alright, then dating with the intent to marry." Ezekiel and Theodore spoke at the same time, finally agreeing.
