Book 4 Chapter 57: Counterattack (Part 1)
On a wasteland in Los Angeles, there were two more graves which belonged to Jing 12 and Lu De.
Although these two people once tried to be unfavorable to him, Shen Yi still let them rest in peace, even though their homecoming journey looked so distant.
They used flares instead of incense, and inserted them in the grave of the two men.
Not far from there, Kyle stood still. He could not understand the behavior of these adventurers – they fought side by side, then killed each other, then mourned the dead.
At the same time, he couldn't understand Marcus – why a man could suddenly become a machine.
Shen Yi put his hand in the pocket of his trousers, and the windbreaker billowed in the wind. His eyes were slightly gazing as if waiting for something.
Jin Gang stood beside Shen Yi and looked at the two graves. He whispered, "What a pity."
It was indeed a pity.
Two adventurers died. Zhou Yiyu and The Monk left, causing the fighting power of the adventurers to drop. In the next round, if there were no accidents, they could only flee.
"Do you know what I think?" Hong Lang suddenly said: "Perhaps they did not really die. Maybe they just returned to the previous world. Their memory and ability would be erased. Then, they continued to live like ordinary people. Perhaps death is not a real death, but a relief."
Wen Rou was somewhat surprised, and looked at Hong Lang: "When did you become so philosophical?"
Hong Lang shrugged: "It's just a kind of self-comfort for those who are afraid of failure and death. If one day I'm going to die, at least I can use this reason to comfort myself before I die, and tell myself not to be afraid. It's just a game; now that the game is over, I finally can go home."
Shen Yi leisurely said: "You are implying that if one day, I leave Bloody City and return to Earth, will I find myself only a heap of decayed flesh?"
Everyone laughed.
Laughter blew away everyone's bad mood, which had been brought about by the loss of strength and leakage of information.
After laughing, Shen Yi looked at everyone: "Is there anyone who has figured out why I let Zhou Yiyu leave?"
Jin Gang shook his head: "I still can't figure it out. I only know that we are in a contest with team Strike The Blood and it's like a game. Once a player's card is seen by the other person, it falls into a passive state. Even if we can draw new cards, that can't replace the part that has already been exposed...more trump cards are always better, aren't they?"
Shen Yi laughed: "If it's a match between two people, of course, it's better to keep the cards in your hands as secret as possible. It's necessary to desperately see each other's cards. Under such circumstances, it is indeed a big problem for one party to expose most of its own cards. Unfortunately, this is not a duel between two players but a multiplayer match. The biggest mistake you make is that you think if there is no one spying on us, our cards will not be exposed, but you have forgotten one thing."
"What?"
Shen Yi sighed. "I remember telling you that Xie Rongjun also had detect skills."
When this was said, everyone was suddenly dumbfounded.
