Chapter 296: 296 Saved you twice (Fourth update)

Compared to the bustling noise above ground, the silence underground was exceptionally eerie.

A terrifying aura spread through the air.

It was enough to cause some instability in one’s breathing.

’Beep beep’ two faint sounds came through the air.

Chu Jin narrowed her eyes slightly, locking her gaze onto a pile of debris. She walked over slowly and began to push the debris aside.

Indeed, amidst the pile of debris, she found a black time bomb!

The clock attached to the bomb showed—2 hours, 30 minutes, and 48 seconds.

Chu Jin stared at the bomb and froze!

In her past life, she was merely a literary master, and in this life, she was just an ordinary student. She had never encountered something like a bomb before.

Let alone defusing one.

The bomb was entwined with many messy wires.

If she cut the wrong wire, the bomb would explode immediately!

"Don’t panic, Jin, let me see what tools we have," Zi spoke slowly, scrolling through the store’s page before saying, "We have a Perspective Card that can be used, ’With a card in hand, the world is yours to command,’ it costs 6% of Faith Value, do you want to buy it?"

Without any hesitation, Chu Jin nodded, "Yes, purchase it."

[Ding! Perspective Card purchased successfully! 6% Faith Value deducted!]

[Ding! Perspective Card used successfully!]

Indeed, after using the Perspective Card, the correct answer to the tangled wires appeared before her eyes.

One had to admit, the system was sometimes a fantastic tool for cheating.

It transformed her from a literary figure to a bomb disposal expert.

Zi reminded her, "Jin, the effect of the Perspective Card will only last for 1 and a half hours, you need to hurry up."

"Okay, I got it." Chu Jin took out a pair of scissors from her pocket and moved to cut one of the wires.

Just then, an icy voice sounded in the air.

"Don’t move!" He grabbed Chu Jin by the neck with one hand, while the cold barrel of a gun pressed against her waist with the other. His eyes narrowed dangerously, his warm breath spraying on the edge of her ear, "Tell me! Did you plant these bombs?"

Chu Jin put down the scissors in her hand and carefully turned her head, her gaze instantly falling into a pair of pitch-black eyes.

Profound, dangerous!

It was him! The son of Heavenly Dao—Song Shiqin!

Song Shiqin looked at those clear eyes and also paused slightly. Clearly, he did not expect the person to be Chu Jin!

Once is a coincidence!

Is it still a coincidence the second time?

Why was she involved in his operations every time?

Chu Jin looked into Song Shiqin’s eyes, her voice calm, "Mr. Song, I’m here to help you."

She just looked at him, her voice clear and melodious, not a hint of panic on her jade-like face.

She was extraordinarily composed.

Song Shiqin narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression complex, his gaze sharp to the extreme, "What makes you think I can trust you?"

At this moment, Song Shiqin was utterly different from usual, radiating a powerful and dangerous aura.

A hint of killing intent was already showing on his stern face.

Chu Jin’s eyelashes trembled lightly as she slowly said, "Because I can defuse these bombs. We have only 2 hours left. If we delay any longer, everyone in the amusement park will be buried here. As the General, you have the duty to protect the safety of every citizen here, right?"

At this point, Song Shiqin had completely lost his trust in Chu Jin!

He even included her on the list of foreign spies.

"Speak!" Song Shiqin pulled the trigger slightly, pressing the gun closer to her waist, his voice deep, "Who is instructing you from behind?"

Facing Song Shiqin’s questioning, Chu Jin opened her mouth somewhat helplessly, "Mr. Song, you’ve really misunderstood! No one is directing me, and I didn’t plant the bombs. Look at that scissor..."

Chu Jin looked at the scissors, her pupils shrinking slightly—the scissors were metal and could reflect some images.

She had clearly caught a beam of red light reflected in the scissors!

It was the infrared beam from a sniper rifle!

That meant someone was targeting them in the dark!

"Be careful!" Chu Jin’s words came to an abrupt halt. She took control of the situation, snatching the gun from her waist with her left hand and wrapping her right arm around the man’s trim waist.

Strength against strength, in that blink of an eye, Chu Jin grabbed his waist and forcefully arched back!

A sharp bullet grazed the man’s prominent nose and shot unerringly into the wall behind them!

A deep pit immediately appeared on the pristine wall, with small shards of stone falling.

Her hand remained on his waist, and the other held a gun to his temple, her clear voice echoing in the air, "Mr. Song, as long as I wish, I could take your life at any moment, but I won’t. I hope you can calm down, I really am here to help you!"

After speaking, she put away the handgun and tossed it casually into the air!

’Bang’—a loud noise.

Sparks flew!

A bullet hit right in the middle of the gun barrel!

If it weren’t for considering Song Shiqin’s safety, Chu Jin would have found a way to knock him out long ago! Without Song Shiqin’s interference, she believed that her task could be accomplished more smoothly.

This man was too suspicious!

Under Song Shiqin’s complex gaze, Chu Jin calmly raised her right hand and caught the handgun she had thrown into the air.

She looked at Song Shiqin, her clear and aloof face showing no superfluous expression, "I’ve saved Mr. Song twice now, can you trust me yet?"
