Disaster-Averting Buddhist Beads

The storyline seemed to hit fast-forward the moment Guo Liang's teammate pierced his throat.

The events of the mission's second day were still unfolding according to plan.

Chen Jie killed Guo Liang to declare where she stood and prove herself.

Li Yi used Guo Liang's corpse in an attempt to turn the enemy's scheme against them and find the final corpse storage site.

So far, Spirit Body Chen Jie's arrangements had gone very smoothly.

She had successfully drawn the attention of the main group led by Li Yi onto the course she had laid out in advance.

From her perspective, everything that had happened along the way amounted to a tremendous success.

After all, Li Yi was the backbone and leader of this team. His stubborn insistence on taking the bait would determine the outcome of this mission.

Precisely because of that, Spirit Body Chen Jie began to overlook Shao Yong'an.

Perhaps that was also one of the reasons Spirit Body Chang Nian had chosen this man to carry out the path to survival.

At that same moment, Shao Yong'an's thought process finally reached its greatest turning point.

On the mission's second day, Guo Liang's death had filled him with unease.

Back then, he had begun to question his own situation, and his sense of alienation from Li Yi's team had reached its peak.

But on the mission's third day, Chang Nian's repeated Mental Suggestion gave him an even more unsettling sense of urgency.

Li Yi dragged Guo Liang's corpse along the floor, the blood from his neck tracing a crooked line.

As the smell of blood spread, Shao Yong'an stood between Li Yi and Chen Jie like a trapped lamb.

I have to survive the ghost, and I have to survive Li Yi. How can I manage both...?
