"What?" Yue Chi was stunned when he heard her words.

"Logically speaking, we've passed the beginner level, which means we've won ten consecutive games and earned the right to concede. If we were to go to the intermediate level, all three of us would choose to concede, concede from the very beginning."

"You're lying! No one could refuse the conditions offered by the arena!" Yue Chi exclaimed excitedly, though Lin Xi couldn't tell if his face was flushed.

"I've said it before, we value our friends' lives more than anything else, and besides, we made this decision a long time ago." Lin Xi smiled, her smile pure and spotless.

Yue Chi opened his mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

"By the way, I'm quite curious, what did they promise you that would turn you into this mess?"

"..."

Lin Xi stood up, dusted herself off, and paced back and forth beside him. "Aren't you going to tell me? It's really just a few things anyway, money and power. But are these things really that important? More important than your own life?"

"Is there anyone you particularly want to see?" Yue Chi, who had been silent, suddenly asked.

"how?"

"Did you know that there's a superpower in this world that allows you to track a person's location using a photograph?"

Lin Xi remembered the boss in the G City safe zone who provided information on zombie hideouts, except that he was tracking zombies.

"They promised to help me find my parents and brother, and bring them back to the capital, whether they are alive or dead. They also promised that as long as I pass the test and work for them, my family can live here in peace from now on."

Lin Xi turned around and stared intently at Yue Chi.

"You...are you looking for your family?"

“Ye Xuan and the others are different. They each have their own goals, but the people here seem to have mind-reading abilities. They can see right through what we desire most in our hearts, so he promised each of us something different.” Yue Chi’s expression finally softened, no longer cold and aloof.

"Have you seen that? The superhuman who can track a person's location through a photograph?"

Yue Chi shook his head, his eyes lifeless, but Lin Xi could see a hint of desolation in them.

"Killing your own lover with your own hands to find your family is pretty stupid." After Lin Xi finished speaking, she cut the restraints on Yue Chi's body. "Go back. I'll pretend that this never happened. Please clean your head and don't take the suffering you caused for granted or use it as an excuse to blame others."

"Why don't you kill me?" Yue Chi raised his head, and this time, his eyes were slightly moist.

"Killing you would only be asking for trouble. They could easily find out it was me, and then I wouldn't have a good life. We're both working under the same boss now, so it would be best if we could help each other out. If not, it would be good if we could just live in peace."

Yue Chi stretched his wrists, put his hands in his pockets, and slowly disappeared into the moonlight.

Suddenly, the sounds of chasing and playing came from afar.

"stop!"

A black figure darted past quickly, and when he saw her, he stopped and gave her a look.

Lin Xi realized what was happening and quickly ran in another direction.

What is Jiang Chuan doing out so late at night? And why is he being chased by so many people?

It caused her to have to run around like crazy right after the fight!

It's so late at night, and if I accidentally get arrested, I probably won't be able to explain myself no matter how hard I try. I might as well just run away.

After Lin Xi informed Chen Jin, they went to Yun's place. Sure enough, Jiang Chuan, dressed in black, was still a little unsteady on his feet, and it seemed that he had just arrived.

"What did you do to be chased by so many people?"

"I went to check out the armory in the capital."

Yun angrily rebuked, "Nonsense! Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

“I checked it out. There are a lot of security cameras over there, and many superhumans guarding it. If too many of us go, we're more likely to be discovered.” Jiang Chuan finished speaking, then looked at Lin Xi without changing his expression. “But what are you doing around there at this hour?”

Lin Xi, suddenly called out, stiffly turned her head. What a clever trick to shift the blame! How vicious!

"I... I'm looking at the moon, the moon is so bright tonight..."

"Didn't you say Yue Chi was looking for you? He probably wants to challenge you to a duel, right?" Chen Jin asked, puzzled.

Lin Xi stared at him, eyes wide with disbelief. Had she really been sold like that?

Upon hearing this, Yun slammed his hand on the table. "You guys are just being ridiculous! How many times have I told you not to fight with others outside of training time! Do you still consider me your captain? You all completely ignore what I say, don't you?"

Lin Xi pursed her lips, not daring to utter a sound.

Cheng Sheng fawned over him, handing him a glass of water. After drinking it down, he paused for a moment, then asked, "Did you win?"

"Huh? You won."

Yun took another sip of water, crossed his legs, and said, "This is alright. If I lose, wouldn't I be embarrassed?"

After saying that, he turned to look at the three people sitting in a row, "This is a one-time exception, and there will be no next time!"

The three of them agreed in unison, "Okay."

"Jiang Chuan, you didn't give yourself away, did you?"

Jiang Chuan shook his head. "Don't worry, I didn't even use my special abilities this time, so they shouldn't realize it was me."

Yun was relieved. "That's good. But you made too much noise this time. You were careless and got discovered. You must have alerted the enemy. Starting tomorrow, you need to be more careful."

"I estimate that the entire city will be searched starting tomorrow. Lu Nan and Cheng Sheng, you two shouldn't go out for the next couple of days."

Lu Nan nodded. "However, I discovered today that three more members of the Blazing Fire Gang have arrived in the city. But it's a bit strange; they're accompanied by a man."

Yun frowned. "Could it be that I guessed wrong before? They didn't have any informants here at all, and they're only sending people to investigate now? But what about that ring?"

Yun then asked, "Is there any other news?"

Lu Nan shook his head. "That's all."

"Just to be on the safe side, those three shouldn't go with us for now, to avoid arousing suspicion." After saying that, Yun's expression turned serious in a second. He looked at Jiang Chuan and said coldly, "Since you've already gone, stay and report back to me about what happened inside."

"Okay." Jiang Chuan nodded.

Sure enough, the next day, at only seven in the morning, the person on the other end of the earpiece was already frantically calling them together.

Sure enough, they talked about this matter at length, and Jiang Chuan's expression remained normal, showing no sign of anything unusual.

Chen Jin was already used to it, and he lowered his eyes, looking as if he was listening very attentively.

"I heard you got home very late last night. Where did you go?"
