Other Chosen Ones

Ye Siyu was no idiot. Having seen the movie, he knew perfectly well what these Iron-Blooded Warriors' last resort was. Besides, in one of his thirty-one rebirths, an Iron-Blooded Warrior had blown himself up and killed him, so even if he hadn't remembered it before, he remembered it now. "Roar!" The Iron-Blooded Warrior, his left hand pinned beneath Ye Siyu's foot, let out a bellow. He was deeply unwilling to accept that he and his companion had met such a humiliating end, dying in their prey's trap.

Bang! A gunshot answered the Iron-Blooded Warrior's roar. Ye Siyu aimed straight at his neck and fired, tearing away a large chunk of flesh. Green blood gushed out like a fountain, and his already faint life force abruptly vanished. He was dead beyond any doubt.

As the Iron-Blooded Warrior died, Ye Siyu's Plane Watch vibrated slightly, and a notification appeared announcing the completion of a mission.

Hidden side mission (completed): Predator Killer. Assist in killing or single-handedly kill at least one Iron-Blooded Warrior. Rating: 50.

A mission that should have been extremely difficult had been completed with ease thanks to Ye Siyu's careful planning, and he had even earned the highest possible rating. If the other Chosen Ones found out, they would surely turn green with envy.

After glancing at the mission notification on his Plane Watch, Ye Siyu put all the undamaged equipment from the two Iron-Blooded Warriors into his Storage Space. Then he shot off their left arms with his pistol and took their microcomputers, along with the one belonging to the Iron-Blooded Warrior who had been taken for research at the beginning.

Ye Siyu was no idiot. The most valuable thing the Iron-Blooded Warriors carried was this microcomputer, whose explosive power rivaled that of a nuclear bomb. The only reason he hadn't taken the first Iron-Blooded Warrior's microcomputer earlier was that he had used it as bait. Otherwise, he could never have abandoned something so valuable.

Soon, Ye Siyu had put everything he could take from the Iron-Blooded Warriors into his Storage Space. Then he turned and left the laboratory, heading outside.

Aside from a small number of scientists hiding in a shelter, everyone in the secret base had been killed by the Iron-Blooded Warriors. There was no one to stop Ye Siyu from leaving.

Tap!

When Ye Siyu left the secret department and reached the outside, he looked at the bustling street and couldn't help marveling at how good the secret department's soundproofing was. Such a fierce gunfight had taken place underground, yet no one had noticed.

That made things easier for him, though. Otherwise, he might not have been able to leave the secret base as safely as he had.

As he left the secret base, Ye Siyu turned to look at the entrance to an alley not far away. A young man in his twenties was leaning against a motorcycle there, watching him.

After taking one look at the young man, Ye Siyu left.

Did he spot me?

Not far away, Black Dong looked astonished. He hadn't expected Ye Siyu to escape from inside. Although he didn't know exactly what had happened in the secret base, he was certain that, given Ye Siyu's identity, there was no way they would have let him out so easily.

Yet he was now able to leave the secret department in plain sight. That meant something significant had happened in the secret base. It was even possible that the base had been destroyed.

The thought sent waves of shock through Black Dong, and he hurried toward the secret department to see what had happened. But he had only taken a few steps when sirens sounded in the distance.

Black Dong immediately stopped. He realized he had just been reckless. If nothing had happened to the secret department, walking in like that would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den. He immediately turned back to the alley entrance to wait and see what happened.

Somewhere Black Dong couldn't see him, Ye Siyu watched him with a calm expression. Once Black Dong returned to the alley, Ye Siyu left.

He paid Black Dong no further attention. After thirty-one rebirths, Ye Siyu knew that Black Dong, like him, was a Chosen One participating in this mission. He had no intention of killing these people, though. The Chosen Ones participating in this mission were all newcomers like him, having been through only one mission world, and all their Points combined came to little more than a hundred. Moreover, Ye Siyu had killed them all once before and knew exactly how many Points they had: each had only the ten Points needed for one resurrection, with none to spare. That made him even less inclined to kill them.

Rather than waste time killing them for so little gain, he would be better off using them as bait to attract the Iron-Blooded Warriors. This concerned the second hidden mission, after all.

Of course, that was provided they didn't provoke him. If they did, Ye Siyu would kill them without hesitation.

Although he had killed the Iron-Blooded Warrior who abducted the Chosen Ones and took them to an alien jungle to hunt them, triggering a hidden plotline and moving the hunt from the alien jungle to the city, that didn't mean Ye Siyu was the Iron-Blooded Warriors' only target. He was merely their main target.

The other Chosen Ones were also targets of the Iron-Blooded Warriors; they simply received far less attention than Ye Siyu did.

After thirty-one rebirths, Ye Siyu had discovered that this multiplayer mission world wasn't as unrestricted as the first single-player mission world. He didn't know whether that was because his triggering the hidden plotline had caused Plane Space to intervene, or because those were simply the rules of multiplayer mission worlds.

He had discovered a pattern to the Iron-Blooded Warriors' attacks. Ten Chosen Ones had entered this mission world in total, and the duration was five days. On the first day, Ye Siyu had recklessly changed the plot, making him the Iron-Blooded Warriors' only target that day. But on each of the remaining days, a wave of Iron-Blooded Warriors would hunt the various Chosen Ones.

After learning this, Ye Siyu had asked Red Queen whether the Plane Space Encyclopedia contained any relevant information, but she had said it didn't. So he planned to buy some information about Plane Space missions from that little baldy One Hundred Thousand Whys after completing this mission. It would save him a lot of unnecessary trouble and rebirths.
