Chapter 19 Un Entertainment: An observer pulled up the replay, and later Jiang...

Fifteen minutes ago.

"Good morning, everyone. I'm your executive agent, Roue..."

At the back of the line, Nan Ke raised an eyebrow, silently reciting each word, and let out a mocking laugh.

Roue was also interrupted by his laughter, preventing her from saying what she was about to say.

The crowd dispersed to both sides, and the man walked up to Nan Ke with a smile on his face. Just like when they first met, he bowed and said, "Senior Nan Ke, please draw the first lesson that our Group A will have to take."

Nan Ke walked to the front of the line, where four cards were placed on the table.

From left to right: physical training, diction, vocal music, and acting.

Seeing Nan Ke hesitate, Roue followed up to explain, "Each team chooses one course per day, and the courses chosen on the first day cannot be chosen on the second day."

Nan Ke turned slightly to the side, his gaze sweeping across the line. "Which one do you want to choose?"

One of the girls mustered up her courage and raised her hand, speaking cautiously, "Um, is it okay if I choose the acting class?"

"What's the reason?"

"Hmm..." The girl hesitated and looked around.

“Come with me.”

Nan Ke walked to a corner further inside, and the girl followed him, the two of them getting closer to talk.

"My skill is... resonance... acting classes themselves might not feel that threatening to me..."

[Personal Talent: Resonance]

“We’re taking the acting class,” Nan Ke shouted to Roue.

"Okay, senior. This lesson is a performance class. The theme of the first half of the lesson is mazes."

A tunnel appeared beside them, and Roue continued, “Pass through this long corridor in front of you, and you will reach the depths of your heart.”

Ji Yang was the first to move. Nan Ke shrunk the control panel and sent a message to Jiang Yang with her fingers in her pocket. Then she stepped inside, and the crowd behind her slowly followed.

Ten minutes later, the two opened their eyes one after the other in the cage.

"I heard from Xie Lu that you guys were on a mission these past few days, so how come you have time to come to the trial?"

They were currently in a cave. Nan Ke walked around it but found nothing amiss. However, he was too unwilling to think, so he had no choice but to return to Ji Yang's side.

Ji Yang is Xie Lu's superior, and two-thirds of the mercenary business in the No Man's Land goes through him.

The relationship between Nan Ke and Ji Yang was neither too close nor too distant.

"Look over there," Ji Yang said, having walked around the other side of the cave. Hearing Nan Ke's words, he pointed out his discovery to him.

Nan Ke followed Ji Yang's finger and saw that all the cages had a white pipe about the thickness of a thumb attached to them. The pipes gradually converged at one point, with fifty pipes intertwined without any gaps, and the diameter was nearly one meter.

Ji Yang strode over, took out a small knife from his waist, and squatted down to lightly chisel at the wall around the pipe.

"Empty?" Nan Ke asked, puzzled.

"How about... we smash it up?" Nan Ke suggested.

"Nanbao is always trying to corrupt others."

"Wake up, Nan! This is Jiyang! This isn't your path!"

"Hahaha, who remembers how Nan Ke tricked Ji Yang last time, only to be defeated by Ji Yang in the end?"

"Nan Ke: Is this little bit of dark history going to go on forever?"

Having caught up with the progress, Jiang Yang and Meng Jiang decided to first find the hidden animal protection association.

Animals have a 30-minute cooldown for their attacks, and since the hunters' cooldown time is still uncertain, they must act quickly to have any chance of winning this time-based battle.

However, on the way, Meng Jiang told Jiang Yang some news that Jiang Yang considered to be good news.

"Sorry, I lied to you at first, I am an elephant."

"It's okay, I'm a mouse."

Jiang Yang didn't mean anything by being frank; he was just thinking about what would happen if the other party was of a higher status than him and attacked him.

For example, what happens to the tiger if it attacks an elephant?

[Lion: 2]

Tiger: 3

[2 rats]

...

[Hunter: 9]

Jiang Yang slowly came to a stop.

"What's wrong?"

"Something's not right..." Jiang Yang scratched his head in frustration. "I don't understand, why did another rat die!"

From a purely rule-based perspective, animals don't really need to fight amongst themselves...

Moreover, killing rats will only give elephants a monopoly, and only the elephants will benefit...

What exactly did he miss...?

Jiang Yang's eyes sparkled as she grabbed Meng Jiang's forearm with one hand. "How about... we go fishing..."

The red team's signal flare burst in the sky, marking the first fireworks display in the forest.

The location they chose was near a small wooden cabin, which provided a clear view of the area where the fireworks would be set off.

Jiang Yang initially planned to act as bait himself, since he was much weaker than Meng Jiang in appearance. However, Meng Jiang was not at ease and felt that it would be better for him to step forward since he had an elephant as a guarantee.

The first to arrive were two men and a woman. Jiang Yang shoved Meng Jiang, who gritted his teeth and collapsed in front of the small wooden house, his freshly prepared blood splattered all over him. He screamed at the top of his lungs, "Help..."

Jiang Yang pursed his lips, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Then, as the person approached, he resignedly put on the rat mask.

[Rat Face: Concealment effect 100%, duration 15 minutes]

"Can you see me?" Jiang Yang asked softly, stepping out of the small wooden house and crossing the Meng River to the outside.

Meng Jiang tilted his head back and looked into the wooden house, then shook his head. Jiang Yang confirmed the effect; it seemed that as long as he didn't speak, he wouldn't be discovered even if he passed by the other party.

"Why are you injured? Who are you?" The woman among the three spoke first.

"I..." Meng Jiang gasped, clutching his wound as if in great pain.

Jiang Yang taught him to cry out in pain when he couldn't keep up the act.

After a long pause, he continued, "A hunter... stole my rat mask..."

Jiang Yang didn't mind throwing mud at the hunter.

"Are you a rat?" one of the men questioned, exchanging a glance with the woman.

"yes..."

"You can't prove your identity now, how can we believe you?" the man continued to ask.

"I'm already like this, what good would it do me to lie to you?" Meng Jiang clutched his stomach, wriggling backward on the ground with difficulty, his expression turning wary. "Who are you?"

The man crouched down, pressing his hand against the scar on Meng Jiang's face, a meaningful expression on his face. "You're just a rat, understand? What right do you have to question me?"

"Since I'm a rat, why don't you kill me?" Meng Jiang suddenly burst into laughter. "Is it because you can't kill me, right? Hunter? Or elephant?"

"Oh, a mouse?"

Jiang Yang carefully observed everyone's condition from the side, when a sudden male voice rang out from the north, and three more people suddenly appeared in front of the wooden house.

“Meng Jiang? Tsk tsk tsk.” Hoshino squatted down next to him.

Meng Jiang's gaze fell on Xingye, then swept up over Yuejiang, and finally settled on the timid man following behind them. Jiang Yang remembered that this man was also one of Xiong Bingxin's team members on Train Zero.

"Hoshino, I'm sorry to have made you laugh. There's nothing I can do, I'm just not as skilled as you."

"It's alright, I'll give you a ride, how about that?"

"Sure, let's get started," Meng Jiang slowly closed his eyes.

Hoshino tilted his head. "Ako? Kill him."

Azi hesitated in place, trembling all over, before finally taking a step forward as if he had made up his mind.

But at that moment, Jiang Yang noticed that the old man who had been silent among the first three people suddenly waved to the woman on one side. Before he could react, an elephant appeared in front of the woman and trampled Azi down.

A lion was also trampled under the elephant's feet.

[Un Entertainment Observation Room - Multiple Perspectives]

"No, could you please label them by their identities? Make it public, okay?"

"If you don't understand it, can you please replay it?"

"It really feels like you don't know who will die next, it's so exciting, hahaha I love it!"

Meng Jiang's eyes were bloodshot, and the conversation between him and Azi was still displayed on the panel.

"Brother, what should I do? I'm a lion."

"elephant."

"That's good! But brother, if I lay a hand on you, it will expose your identity!"

"fine."

[Sensing the player's emotions, congratulations on unlocking the Angry Elephant! One Angry Elephant can kill any animal, and two Angry Elephants can kill any hunter.]

Hoshino slowly stood up, his face grim. "What do you mean?"

“It’s just a mouse, why are you so determined to exterminate it?” the old man stepped forward.

"If I don't kill him, do you think I can't kill you?"

“Yes, I don’t think you can kill me,” he said, his words devoid of provocation.

Jiang Yang realized something, returned to the wooden house, and carefully wrote the character "rat" on Meng Jiang's shoulder.

Meng Jiang realized what was happening and, suppressing his emotions, shouted at the old man, "Hey, wanna cooperate?"

Yuejiang tugged at Xingye, "Let's go first, they're two rats."

Hoshino gritted her teeth, "I'll remember you!"

The old man invited Meng Jiang to join the team, and the group exchanged names.

The woman's name is Zhang Qing, the man's name is Hu Ke, and as for the old man, just call him Old Wei.

With three minutes left before Jiang Yang's concealment expired, Jiang Yang quickly wrote a few words on Meng Jiang's shoulder, got up, and ran towards Xingye and Yuejiang. Fortunately, they hadn't gone far.

Deliberately taking a shortcut from the other side to their only route, Jiang Yang chose a spot not too far from them, and with a heavy heart, threw herself straight to the ground.

Who are you?

Upon realizing he had been discovered, Jiang Yang instinctively tried to run, but was blocked by Xingye and Yuejiang from both the front and back.

"I...I won't tell you..." Jiang Yang swallowed nervously.

[Un Entertainment Observation Room - Jiang Yang's Perspective]

"Bro, you're acting again, aren't you? You're really having a blast acting!"

"To be honest, even though I've been following him since Train Zero, I still advise against trusting him."

"To be honest, even if you just saw it, I suggest you don't believe it."

"But they're really daring! They even dared to deceive Xingyue and her companion. They're devils!"

An observer pulled up a replay, showing that Jiang Yang's last words on Meng Jiang's shoulder were, "Split up, take action."

"Three," Hoshino gestured with his finger.

"I'm telling you you'll want to kill me just like them!" Jiang Yang said aggrievedly, a bruise on her forehead and tears welling up in her eyes.

"Two," Hoshino said slowly and deliberately, completely unaffected by human emotions.

"I'll talk, I'll talk," Jiang Yang said anxiously, pinching the person's raised finger and lowering her head timidly, "I'm a mouse."

Yuejiang laughed loudly, "That's interesting."
