I nodded and then shook my head: "The lucky ones who are left out will not have a partner to bind with and will lose their skills. We have been ignoring this problem before. How did Zhu Chen retain his skills without a partner?"
After saying that, the two of them suddenly looked at me seriously. Ji Lin'an said, "Yes, the Flasher we saw in the previous future scenes was with the mysterious organization, but the current Flasher, Zhu Chen, does not have a partner to match him."
I frowned: "Does that mean ordinary people don't need to be paired with a partner after acquiring the Lucky One's skill?"
The all-seeing eye said, "Why don't you just ask? It's a minor illness. Does an ordinary person need to find a partner after acquiring the Lucky One's skill?"
"Master, Master, any lucky player needs to be matched with a partner before they can continue to use their skills."
The three of us fell silent. I spoke up, feeling frustrated: "So Zhu Chen has a partner? Where is his partner? I've never heard him mention him."
Just as we were at our wits' end, a message alerted us that a lucky person was approaching and moving very fast. The three of us froze, and Qianliyan nervously said, "It should be Zhu Chen, he's here."
Thousand-Mile Eye immediately activated the skill on his phone, and Ji Lin'an and I quickly leaned closer. We couldn't see the person clearly, but we could still vaguely make out a figure moving quickly toward us. Ji Lin'an took out a gun from his spatial storage and handed it to us: "Prepare for battle."
We went into battle mode, the three of us gathered in the living room and stood in three different directions. The system alerted us again that the lucky one was 300 meters... 200 meters... 100 meters away. I gripped my gun and looked around. Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door: "Su Yi, it's me, Zhu Chen!"
I looked toward the source of the sound and saw Zhu Chen. He had come back so openly. I turned and exchanged a glance with Ji Lin'an, who had a keen eye for long-distance communication. My expression was somewhat serious, but I still pretended to be calm and walked to the door to open it for Zhu Chen.
Zhu Chen entered the house, feigning anger, and said, "Why did you come back without me? I waited for you in the same spot for a long time. When I returned to the temporary shelter, I didn't see Qianliyan at all. When I went to the mysterious organization's sanctuary, everyone was dead."
The three of us remained silent. We all knew Zhu Chen was faking it. He probably knew we saw him flash and take down the leader, so why was he pretending not to know anything? His motive was obvious, but the meaning behind it all was completely baffling to me.
Ji Lin'an stepped forward: "We went back to look for you, but we couldn't find you. We searched everywhere, but we didn't see you. We were wondering where you went and why you didn't come back sooner."
Zhu Chen paused for a moment, then continued with a smile, "Oh, when I saw that you hadn't come back to find me, I wandered around. My skills were on cooldown, so I had to find a place to wait for the cooldown to pass, which is why I was delayed for so long."
Qianliyan remained silent, staring at Zhu Chen with an ambiguous expression. In fact, Ji Lin'an and I were also a little embarrassed. Perhaps it was because it was the first time we had encountered someone with such a deep and calculating mind, and we were not yet capable of remaining calm in the face of such a situation.
Seeing that we weren't talking, Zhu Chen suddenly reached out and touched my head. I was so scared that I quickly backed away. If he really killed the leader, then his current skill is copying. If he touches my head, I will be copied. Luckily, I reacted in time. He only touched a strand of my hair, so he probably didn't copy me. I frowned and said, "What are you doing? My boyfriend is right next to me, and you're still touching me like that."
Zhu Chen realized his rudeness and said to Ji Lin'an with a smile, "Don't misunderstand, Brother Ji. I just saw Su Yi was in a daze and subconsciously wanted to pat his head."
Ji Lin'an stepped forward and walked up to me, saying to Zhu Chen, "I'm sorry to trouble you with your concern for my girlfriend, Brother Zhu, but you are his ex, and I'll be unhappy if you get too close to Su Su."
Zhu Chen looked a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time."
Ji Lin'an smiled politely but seriously: "There won't be a next time."
Zhu Chen paused for a moment, then put on a smile again: "Okay, I understand. Can you give me some food? I'm hungry and thirsty after being outside all day."
To avoid alerting them, I took a box of instant noodles and two bottles of mineral water from my spatial storage and handed them to Zhu Chen. Zhu Chen didn't reach out to take them, but instead said with a playful expression, "Eating instant noodles every meal, don't you have anything else to eat? I know you guys must have other things to eat, give me a change of pace."
I gritted my teeth and tried to stay calm. Only by observing the situation and seeing what Zhu Chen was up to could I find an opportunity to kill him. And I only had one chance. If I acted rashly and he escaped, it would be difficult to find another opportunity.
I went back into the space and took out a self-heating lunchbox, handing it to Zhu Chen. Zhu Chen lazily looked up, then took the lunchbox and water with a satisfied expression. I took out my phone to check the time; it was already late. I went back into the space and took out three more self-heating lunchboxes. The four of us finished our meal in a very awkward atmosphere. After eating his lunchbox, Zhu Chen stood up, patted his stomach, and said he wanted to go back to his room to sleep. We didn't say anything. After watching him go back to his room, the three of us quickly went into the master bedroom and locked the door.
I whispered, "Judging from his appearance, he definitely got the skills of a leader. Have you noticed that he's standing up straight since he came back, and his attitude has changed? He's not as timid as before."
Qianliyan nodded with a pout: "It does feel like he's taking advantage of his master's power, but I just don't understand why he would offer himself up like that."
Ji Lin'an looked exhausted as he rubbed his temples and said, "His purpose is very clear: he wants to find an opportunity to seize our skills. He's not stupid at all; he knows he can't fight us head-on, so he can only try to get close to us and copy our skills."
I nodded: "He might have been looking for an opportunity to copy my skills, but I don't know how long it would take to copy them."
