Chapter 250: Not Enough Chess Pieces

Mi Aya’s pupils constricted as she watched Yue Xin pull the arrow out of her arm expressionlessly and insert it into the tree trunk behind them. After a while, the tree trunk burned.

No. 12 stood under the tree for a while before leaving. Mi Aya and Yue Xin were not in a hurry to leave the burning tree. Instead, they waited for a while and saw that No. 12 did not turn back before going down the tree. They did not go far. Instead, they found another densely-leafed tree and hid inside. It turned out that the tree had completely burned down. It would not be long before the fire spread.

Mi Aya looked at Yue Xin’s bleeding arm with a complicated expression. “Why did you save me? Let me make it clear first. Even if you save me, I won’t repay you.”

Yue Xin didn’t seem to care. She just tore open her sleeve to check the wound. “It doesn’t matter. If No. 12 is a wolf, I can’t be with him. I still need you to protect me.”

Mi Aya said, “You can protect yourself, right? I didn’t even react to the arrow just now. If you’re really weak, how could you have blocked it? Don’t lie.”

Yue Xin said, “I’m not lying. Just like how I knew that you were on the tree, I felt danger just before No.12 attacked. The reason why I blocked your throat was because of my understanding of No.12. I was just taking a gamble. It looks like I was lucky and made the right bet.”

Mi Aya was a little speechless when she heard the familiar words “lucky”. Would people who had stayed in Building 8 become like this?

“You, you’ve become a gambler.”

Yue Xin waved her bloody right arm and said indifferently, “It’s okay. Anyway, I’m lucky.”

Mi Aya sighed. “Yes. Give me your arm. I’ll apply the ointment.”

Yue Xin did not suspect anything and obediently reached out her hand. She stared at Mi Aya and said, “Did you pick herbs?”

“No, I have medicine to begin with. The night before the werewolf killing officially began, people who sense danger can ask for something. What I asked for was medicine. What did you ask for?” Mi Aya said as she took an iodophor and cotton swab from a staff member who had run out of nowhere to treat Yue Xin’s wound. She also applied medicine and bandaged Yue Xin.

Mi Ayya explained, “As long as I want the medicine, I can have it delivered to me immediately. It’s fatal not to treat the wound in time for the next three days, but these medicines will keep me alive.”

Yue Xin nodded. Just as she had expected, according to Mi Aya’s personality, she would definitely not choose to attack or defend, but to save her life. This was one of the real reasons why she had deliberately approached Mi Aya. Now, the first step had been completed.

“Yue Xin, what did you ask dor?” Mi Aya suddenly asked.

Yue Xin: “I asked for the information of all the participants, including yours.”

Mi Aya’s hand that was bandaging Yue Xin paused and suddenly smiled. “I’ve really underestimated you, Missy. You’re quite impressive.”

Yue Xin nodded, her face still expressionless. “You flatter me.”

In the surveillance room.

“Oh, Warden, did you see what Yue Xin did just now? How could she block No. 12’s arrow with her skills? She must have used the ability to transmigrate just now!”

The warden looked at the noisy assistant beside him and seemed a little soeechless. How could someone be so stuoid?

“What do you think transmigration is? It’s not to this extent.”

“Why not? That’s clearly unreasonable. Yue Xin must have transmigrated back.

She knew that the arrow would shoot over!”

“I can’t be bothered to talk to you, you idiot.”

Yue Xin still didn’t know that her every move was being analyzed. What she had to do now was to find the next person to cooperate with.

“You just said that you wanted to win, but you didn’t have enough chess pieces. What do you mean?” Mi Aya asked Yue Xin softly as she looked around warily.

Yue Xin said, “It means that there aren’t enough chess pieces.” Mi Aya was speechless.

“Are you looking for someone like me who has a special item?”

Yue Xin nodded. “Yes.”

Mi Ayya said, “Who are you looking for next?”

Yue Xin said, “Tutian Yangdou.”

“Oh? It’s the kid who likes to pretend to be a ninja?” Mi Aya had some impression of this person. The kid was quite capable, so it was not strange for him to obtain a special item. “Why are you looking for him?”

Mi Aya knew that Yue Xin wanted everyone’s information, but she did not fully trust the information Yue Xin gave her. She could only keep probing and then distinguish if it was true or not. Even if Yue Xin had saved her, the danger unconsciously emitted from Yue Xin was indeed terrifying. Fortunately, such a person was a companion.. If they were enemies…
