The condensed Yun You, who had finished studying the note and set off again, did not say another word with Jack Frost Moon.
She didn't even discuss with the two of them which path to take, but directly chose the wider, but also damper, right path of the mine.
For this, Jack and Frost Moon naturally wore faces full of doubt.
But seeing Yun You's somewhat serious expression, the two dared not ask more questions, only silently following behind, continuing down the path.
Along the way, Yun You maintained extreme vigilance, not daring to slacken for even a moment.
However, within just a few minutes of this journey, two small incidents occurred.
The first one was when Yun You felt a chill on her neck, and turning back, she suddenly discovered that Jack behind her was playing with his knife.
The tip of that knife was pointed straight at the little girl's back... When they were the closest, the dagger only needed to move a few inches forward to pierce Yun You's heart.
Yun You's expression changed at that moment, questioning Jack sharply with her eyes, but he laughed it off casually, saying he was just suffering from the mercenary's itch to play with knives.
Yun You said nothing to this, just silently turned her head and continued walking, but the right hand, imbued with the power of the Red Scale, remained ever behind her back.
The second incident was the warning message sent by the Information Reconnaissance Chip hanging beside Yun You's ear.
[Detected short-frequency EMP attack on the chip, successfully defended]
For this finely crafted chip by the Apprentice Death God, a minor EMP attack was, of course, not a concern.
The real trouble was the attack itself.
In this sinister place, the only one who could silently launch an EMP attack was one person.
Hacker Frost Moon.
As usual, Yun You turned back and questioned Frost Moon with an examining gaze.
But the boy didn't even offer a response, only turning his head away, as if saying that this matter had nothing to do with him, don't look at me.
This made Yun You completely sure of her suspicion.
And finding the series of notes on the miners' bodies also confirmed this point.
The sizes of these notes differed, but the content was exactly the same.
[Do not trust anyone, do not believe any word (Aurora's note: See, look around carefully! Pay attention to those around you! "It" is right there!)]
The answer seemed to have been revealed.
Then, when the three were almost at the end of the passage...
Jack, hidden in the shadows, suddenly raised the knife in his hand, his face showing no expression.
Almost simultaneously, Frost Moon extended his palm, and the chips embedded in his five fingertips lit up at once, an obvious sign of launching an electronic attack.
And the target of both was clear.
It was Yun You.
The little girl, sensing the killing intent, gently closed her eyes.
"Whoosh—"
A nameless gust of wind suddenly swept through the corridor, stirring the sleeves of the three.
As if pre-planned, Jack suddenly slashed down with his blade, while Frost Moon activated his attack chip with full force.
But Yun You's speed was even faster than the two!
At the moment the two decided to act, the little girl had already moved before them.
The speed of the Apprentice Death God was unmatched by mortals; by the time she turned around and sliced Jack's throat with her fingers, then smoothly shattered Frost Moon's heart with a punch, their attacks hadn't even landed.
The blade halted mid-air, the chip in a brief charging state—perhaps it would never fully charge, as its power source, Frost Moon's heart, had now stopped beating.
The two fell without twitching, struggling, or any last words, simply accepting the impending death on the cold fungal blanket.
Yun You personally "killed" two companions she was quite close to, committing the same act as the "foreman".
What kind of feelings would come from killing good companions?
Someone else might cry deeply, or perhaps have a breakdown...
But Yun You never cried or got angry the whole time.
She seemed like a cold, emotionless bystander, calmly gazing at the "bodies" of the two.
The girl did not speak, simply standing there quietly, standing... as if waiting for something.
And soon, what she waited for quietly arrived.
"Hee hee."
That was a sly snicker, the tone much like a mischievous child, filled with disdain and mockery.
"Another fool who fell for it."
"Although it's impossible to kill because you're the Apprentice Death God, overall, this little game, I won~"
"I—win—"
Suddenly, the voice paused.
Because its master abruptly discovered, this girl who had killed her companions and made such a grave mistake, suddenly curved a corner of her mouth, revealing a cunning smile.
And then...
Time seemed to stand still and then began to rewind.
"Win—I—"
"Foolish...fall...for it...again one..."
The words the voice once said completely reversed.
Dust floated into the air, the spilled crimson blood flowed back into Jack's throat and Frost Moon's heart.
Like a reversed movie, Yun You's fist withdrew from Frost Moon's heart, gently slicing past Jack's neck again.
The wounds on the two began to close, returning to the state before they acted.
Everything was "called back".
But in reality, this wasn't a callback, but the effect after Yun You activated her ability.
[Talent: Future Sight]—Activated!
Indeed.
Everything Yun You saw before, the brief struggle between her and Jack Frost Moon, and the voice eager to celebrate...
It was all the little girl's vision through Future Sight!
As soon as she closed her eyes, her talent ability was already activated.
Yun You had seen the future in advance! Even using this future to verify her long-standing suspicion.
She laughed, and took a swig of the liquor bottle herself.
The alcohol made the slightly tipsy little girl ignore Jack, who "again" raised a knife at her, and Frost Moon, who raised his hand to attack, and instead looked at the fog above.
At this time point, that elusive voice had not yet appeared.
But Yun You knew clearly, "It" was right here! Right by her side!
"Found you."
The girl grinned, then drew a dagger.
But she didn't slash at the sky or the ground, nor did she target Jack and Frost Moon, but... she aimed at herself.
To be precise, she aimed at the front of her gas mask...
That thick layer of pink mist.
Puff—!
A crisp sound of a knife piercing flesh appeared in front of Yun You.
But the dagger she held didn't pierce her own face, but instead stabbed into the mist before her eyes.
Although the mist seemed intangible, upon receiving a stab, crimson blood inexplicably flowed down.
The answer was clear.
"It" was inside the mist.
Or rather, it was this layer of pink mist.
The mist that obscured Yun You's vision, hindering her sight.
