Chapter 15 I believe in you
"You guys." Lin Ye opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Sun Xiaoyu.
"Okay, you don't have to say anything." Sun Xiaoyu said coldly, "We believe her, that's enough."
"Without cold-blooded guys like you and Lu Zijin, we can still complete the mission!"
After saying that, Sun Xiaoyu took Gu Qingcheng's hand and left without looking back.
Seeing this, Xie Wan quickly followed.
"Wait." Lin Ye wanted to say something else, but in the end he sighed helplessly and gave up the explanation.
If you do your own evil, you will not live.
How can someone with such an IQ be able to graduate from high school and become a knight to take the exam?
"Alas" Lin Ye shook his head helplessly and turned to look at Lu Zijin, who was still standing where he was.
Lu Zijin did not speak, but looked at Lin Ye quietly, with a complicated light shining in his deep eyes.
"You don't believe what they said?" Lin Ye asked.
Lu Zijin shook his head and nodded again.
"I believe what they said is true. I also tend to believe that Gu Qingcheng just now is true." Lu Zijin said lightly, "But I believe in your judgment more."
"Oh?" Lin Ye raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Zijin with interest, "Why?"
"Because." Lu Zijin paused and said firmly, "I believe you."
Four simple words, but more useful than anything else.
From the moment Lin Ye handed her the Imperial Cavalry Driver, her trust in Lin Ye was already destined.
Lin Ye looked at Lu Zijin and slowly raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Let's go, it's time for us to take action." Lin Ye took Lu Zijin's hand and turned towards the other end of the corridor.
"Where to go?" Lu Zijin asked.
"Find the truth." Lin Ye's tone contained a hint of unprecedented firmness, "I have a hunch that the real challenge has just begun."
In the dim corridor, only the slight footsteps of the two people echoed.
"Lin Ye, why do you think that the Gu Qingcheng we just met might be fake?" Lu Zijin followed Lin Ye and finally asked the doubts in his heart.
Although she believed in Lin Ye's judgment, she thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out why.
Lin Ye stopped and turned to look at Lu Zijin: "What? Do you have doubts again?"
"I just think your speculation is too incredible." Lu Zijin frowned slightly, "If both Gu Qingcheng are fake, then where is the real Gu Qingcheng? What is the purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"This is what we need to investigate clearly." Lin Ye did not answer Lu Zijin's question directly, but asked, "Do you still remember what our mission is this time?"
"The main mission is to protect the target, and the side mission is to eliminate all weirdos." Lu Zijin answered without thinking.
"Yes, but have you noticed that there is no direct connection between these two tasks?" Lin Ye guided Lu Zijin to think.
"You mean" Lu Zijin was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "You mean to protect the target, you don't need to eliminate all the weirdos. Similarly, destroying all the weirdos may not be able to protect the target?"
"That's right." Lin Ye nodded, "These two tasks are more like two parallel lines, not interfering with each other."
"But... what does this have to do with Gu Qingcheng's authenticity?" Lu Zijin became even more confused. "Think about it, the first Gu Qingcheng acted very fake, right?" Lin Ye did not explain directly, but continued to guide Lu Zijin's thoughts.
"Yes." Lu Zijin nodded. She and Lin Ye agreed on this point.
"So, we will naturally think that the second Gu Qingcheng we met is real." Lin Ye paused and his tone became meaningful, "But... is it really like this?"
< br>
"This" Lu Zijin was speechless. She suddenly realized that she seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding.
"We preconceptionally believed that the first Gu Qingcheng was fake in order to mislead us and make us relax our vigilance and believe in the second Gu Qingcheng." Lin Ye analyzed, "But what if this itself is a trap?"
"Trap?" Lu Zijin's heart trembled. He vaguely caught something, but it felt vague and hard to see clearly.
"And" Lin Ye looked around and glanced at the closed doors on both sides of the corridor, "Do you still remember what those weirdos we met are?"
"Magic machine." Lu Zijin replied without thinking.
"Yes, they are all magic puppets." Lin Ye nodded, "But, have you ever thought about where are those so-called weirdos who can mimic others?"
Lu Zijin was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she seemed to have overlooked a very important issue.
Yes, if the final BOSS of this dungeon is really a monster that can mimic the appearance of others, then why are the soldiers in the dungeon all puppets instead of bugs, evil ways and the like?
This doesn’t make sense!
Unless
"Unless...it has no ability to transform into someone else!" Lu Zijin blurted out, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.
"That's right." A cold smile appeared on the corner of Lin Ye's mouth, "Maybe... from the beginning, we were fooled!"
The two of them walked all the way up and finally reached the top floor of the hotel.
There were not many rooms on the top floor, only a few, and most of them were locked. Only one door at the end of the corridor was ajar, as if inviting them to enter.
Lin Ye and Lu Zijin looked at each other, and both saw a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes.
"Be careful." Lin Ye whispered, walked to the door first, and gently opened the door.
There were no lights on in the room, only the faint moonlight spilled in from the window, casting long shadows on the floor, making the room even more silent and eerie.
"Is there anyone there?" Lu Zijin asked softly, and at the same time turned on the lighting effect of the drive, and the bright light immediately dispelled the darkness in the room.
The layout of the room is very simple, with only a bed, a wardrobe and a desk. It looks like an ordinary guest room.
At this time, a slender figure was lying on the bed in the room. It was Gu Qingcheng they had been looking for!
"Found it!" Lu Zijin was overjoyed and quickly ran to the bedside, only to find that Gu Qingcheng's eyes were closed, his face was pale, his breathing was weak, and he seemed to have fallen into a coma.
"What's wrong with her?" Lu Zijin subconsciously turned to look at Lin Ye and asked, "Is she injured?"
"Let me take a look." Lin Ye walked to the bed and carefully checked Gu Qingcheng's physical condition, frowning slightly.
"How is it?" Lu Zijin asked anxiously, "Is she okay?"
"It's nothing serious, it's just" Lin Ye paused and said in a strange tone, "She seems to be asleep?"
