Chapter 182 All are pawns

Chen Qingqing ignored Chu Yiyi's changing expression. Without waiting for Chu Yiyi to answer, Chen Qingqing leaned back and continued:

"Of course, you don't have to tell me."

"Then I don't have to care about your life or death. You can go back to the 73rd base now."

Chu Yiyi stared straight at Chen Qingqing's face, trying to see Chen Qingqing's flaws.

Until she was sure that Chen Qingqing would not give in, she seemed to be deflated.

"...You all go out first." Chen Qingqing waved her hands.

A minute later, only Chen Qingqing and Chu Yiyi were left in the office.

Chu Yiyi pursed her lips and lowered her head, as if she was brewing something.

"Actually, I've always been curious." Chen Qingqing held her chin and looked at her across the table.

"Curious about what?" Chu Yiyi finally raised her head, and there was no disguised emotion on her face at this time.

The strange feeling lingering around her finally dissipated.

It seemed that she was the real her now.

She looked at Chen Qingqing as if she was looking at an inanimate object.

She seemed indifferent to everything, alert and selfish, and only things that harmed herself could make her emotions fluctuate.

Chu Yiyi seemed to have always been like this, but she had always been wearing layers of exaggerated masks of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.

"Are you curious about my identity? Curious about why I have always been against you?"

Chu Yiyi moved her lips, and her tone was much lower than usual.

Suddenly, she sneered: "Honestly, how many people are as lucky as you?"

"You have been wearing a jade pendant that can turn back the tide since you were born, and you have such a wonderful family... How come all the good things happen to you?"

Chu Yiyi bit her lower lip, and stared at Chen Qingqing with rage in her eyes: "Do you think I want to be bound by this damn system?"

"I want to survive, too! I want to be a hero! To be a savior! What's wrong with me? I just have the desires that all normal people have!"

"Am I targeting you? I'm just targeting unfair fate! Since God has given me this opportunity, let me snatch your jade pendant."

"As long as I succeed, I will become the savior in your place..."

Chen Qingqing said indifferently: "Is this why you want to snatch my jade pendant?"

"I already knew it. You can say something else."

Chu Yiyi, who was surrounded by anger, was suddenly stunned.

"You... knew?"

"Well, I'm not curious about you. I'm curious about the power behind you."

Chen Qingqing lightly skipped over Chu Yiyi herself.

Chu Yiyi seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water, and the emotions that had just been mobilized were instantly extinguished.

Chu Yiyi's voice was a little trembling: "I have been against you for so long, and you are not curious at all about why I do this?"

"...Then what about my true identity? You are not curious at all about how I tied to this system and how I got to where I am today step by step?"

Chen Qingqing shook her head: "I'm not curious."

"If the power behind you must find someone to replace me, it will not be you, but someone else."

If it comes to hating Chu Yiyi, Chen Qingqing naturally can't help but hate her, but she has hated her in her previous life.

Countless sleepless nights, countless moments of being driven away, abandoned and betrayed, countless days of running for life and struggling to survive.

She would always wonder when all this misfortune started?

After rebirth, she realized that everything started when Chu Yiyi took away her jade pendant, so she began to hate Chu Yiyi.

But as the days passed, Chen Qingqing gradually discovered the truth of everything.

It turned out that the misfortune did not start with Chu Yiyi, but from the moment when the core of the blue star was damaged countless years ago, the gears of fate began to turn.

In the final analysis, Chu Yiyi and Chen Qingqing were both inconspicuous chess pieces controlled by fate.

Chen Qingqing was bound to experience this ups and downs.

Even if Chu Yiyi hadn't taken her jade pendant, as long as that power existed, people would come one after another to snatch her jade pendant.

As for Chu Yiyi...

Chen Qingqing didn't intend to know the tragic life of a chess piece.

There were too many tragic people and too many tragic stories for her to hear.

"Heh..." Chu Yiyi suddenly laughed and shook her head.

"I really admire you a little now."

"Since you want to know the power behind me, I'll tell you, but you have to promise me one thing."

Chen Qingqing: "As long as I can do it, I won't refuse."

"I want to live." Chu Yiyi's eyes were full of desire for life.

"My power is getting weaker and weaker now... I can tell you or not, I will die in the end anyway."

"But I want to live."

"So you have to promise me that after I tell you everything I know, you will act as if nothing happened."

"The most important thing is, if you really become the savior of the entire Blue Star in the future... you must save me."

Chen Qingqing felt a little absurd: "Do you still think there is a savior in this world? We are just being manipulated..."

"I know!" Chu Yiyi interrupted her with a firm tone.

"I know we are all pawns."

"But you are different."

"If there is really someone who can save Blue Star, it must be you... it must be you!"

"The salvation I'm talking about is not to deal with natural disasters, but them..."

Chu Yiyi glanced at the ceiling, and seemed to be looking at something across the ceiling.

"They have been staring at us."

Chu Yiyi's expression was cautious yet a little crazy. Chen Qingqing couldn't tell whether she was talking nonsense.

"Whether it's the people behind you or the people behind me, they are all watching us."

"I can be replaced, but you can't, so you have this chance to save Blue Star."

Chu Yiyi took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

She adjusted her mood and spoke again:

"You are right, we are all pawns."

"Even if I am not there, there are others."

Chu Yiyi opened her eyes: "The leader of that team of superpowers is the one who replaced me."

"She is tied to the live broadcast system like me, and she also gets the information of superpowers through the audience and keeps collecting superpowers like me."

"You never understand why I am afraid."

Chu Yiyi laughed at herself.

"Now the audience in my live studio has been flowing towards her, and my audience is getting fewer and fewer."

"But my strength is determined by the number of spectators. The fewer people there are, the more vulnerable I am."

"Last time Lao Lu shot me, it must have been your instruction, right?"

"To be honest, resisting the damage of that bullet almost consumed all my strength at the time."

"Now I may completely lose the ability to protect myself at any time because of the loss of an audience in the live studio."

"In this case, how can I not be afraid?"

Chen Qingqing: "But why did they give up on you and tie her up?"

Chu Yiyi lowered her head: "Of course it's because they are disappointed in me, because I haven't caused any substantial harm to you for so long."

"What's the point of a live broadcast that has nothing to watch and keeps going backwards?"

Chen Qingqing: "You mean... they all hope I die?"
