Chapter 70: Chapter 70 The Impostor Arrives
“What?”
“Blacklist!”
Wan Xiaozhou exclaid.
“Oh?”
“Didn’t expect you to be part of Jianghu too.”
“Yun Luoshu” chuckled sinisterly.
“Could you let go just this once?”
Wan Xiaozhou tentatively asked.
“Not a chance~”
“Yun Luoshu” shrugged and smiled.
“Shh shh shh~”
The sound of footsteps abruptly arose.
Wan Xiaozhou felt soone approaching from behind.
Startled, Wan Xiaozhou turned around, only to see the Scar-faced Monster, grinning at her.
The next second, everything went black for Wan Xiaozhou, and she collapsed to the ground.
“I truly envy your hypnosis skills.”
“Yun Luoshu” said with a smile.
“Stop blabbering, let’s get to work.”
The Scar-faced Monster rasped.
Having said that, the two lifted up Wan Xiaozhou and Yun Luoshu, and headed deep into the woods.
…
“They’re back, they’re back…”
“Luoshu and Xiaozhou are back…”
The shouting of Wen Shi outside the tent woke Fang Xiaocao, who had been engrossed in her studies.
Fang Xiaocao opened her eyes, crawled out of her sleeping bag, and checked the ti on her phone.
22:18!
“Gone for that long?”
Fang Xiaocao frowned and muttered.
“If I rember correctly…”
“They left before 21:00…”
Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself.
“Luoshu, why were you gone for so long?”
Su Wanqing’s complaining voice reached her ears.
“Got lost.”
The voice of Yun Luoshu ca through.
Fang Xiaocao put on her shoes, took the spring knife from the pocket of her jacket, and held it in her palm.
She slowly opened the tent, peered outside.
Wen Shi and Zhi Qi were busy making a fire.
Su Wanqing was helping Yun Luoshu with the firewood.
At that mont, Wan Xiaozhou was standing in front of the tent.
Fang Xiaocao looked up at Wan Xiaozhou’s face, instantly alard, but she nonchalantly withdrew her gaze and crawled out of the tent.
“Xiaozhou, you must be tired.”
Fang Xiaocao casually greeted Wan Xiaozhou.
“Not at all, it’s my duty to share the camp’s concerns.”
Wan Xiaozhou pulled a strange smile.
“Take a break, I’ll go help with the cooking.”
Fang Xiaocao said with a smile.
“Okay.”
Wan Xiaozhou nodded and smiled.
Turning around, Fang Xiaocao’s expression changed.
“Just as I expected, sothing happened to them…”
Fang Xiaocao muttered inwardly.
Just one look, and Fang Xiaocao recognized.
This Wan Xiaozhou was wearing a Human Skin Mask.
Fang Xiaocao looked towards Yun Luoshu.
Another sigh in her heart.
This Yun Luoshu was also fake.
Her face was also adorned with a Human Skin Mask.
“Need to find a way to take care of them first.”
Fang Xiaocao silently made a decision.
At that mont, Fang Xiaocao’s mind began to plan how to rescue Yun Luoshu and Wan Xiaozhou.
Now, Fang Xiaocao could be sure that Wan Xiaozhou was not colluding with those people.
She could temporarily be considered an ally.
After a mont’s thought, a plan ford in Fang Xiaocao’s mind: first deal with the current “Yun Luoshu” and “Wan Xiaozhou”, take their guns, and then according to her mory, find that camp.
Find a way to rescue the real Yun Luoshu and Wan Xiaozhou, then team up with Wan Xiaozhou to take care of those people.
“Xiaocao, what are you daydreaming about?”
Wen Shi asked, puzzled.
“Nothing, just drifted off a bit.”
Fang Xiaocao said with a smile.
“Co help with the cooking.”
Wen Shi greeted with a smile.
“Okay!”
Fang Xiaocao responded with a smile.
Dinner was simple, boiled instant noodles accompanied by the vegetables and sausages they had brought.
There wasn’t even a hint of culinary skill involved.
Since girls usually eat less, they each had a bowl. If that wasn’t enough, they would nibble on a compressed biscuit to fill up.
They quickly cleaned up afterwards.
The ti was: 23:21.
“I’ll keep watch tonight,”
After dinner, Wan Xiaozhou proposed.
“Okay!”
Upon hearing this, Zhi Qi nodded in agreent.
“That doesn’t seem very fair,”
“Xiaozhou needs to rest too,”
Fang Xiaocao said gravely.
Assigning the night watch to this fake Wan Xiaozhou, Fang Xiaocao was not at ease.
Fang Xiaocao did not want to suddenly open her eyes in the middle of the night and find the Scar-faced Monster squatting in front of her.
“Let’s do this, two hours per person.”
“Xiaozhou goes first, then I’ll take over,”
“The third shift will be Luoshu, and the last one will be Wen Shi and Su Wanqing,”
“Since Xiaocao just fainted, she won’t take a shift tonight,”
Zhi Qi suggested after so thought.
“I have no objections!”
“Wan Xiaozhou” was the first to respond.
“Neither do I!”
“Yun Luoshu” was the second to speak.
Zhi Qi’s division of shifts aligned with their wishes.
“We can manage that too,”
Wen Shi and Su Wanqing exchanged a glance and said in unison.
“No, I have an objection,”
Fang Xiaocao said with a smile.
“Zhi Qi, you can’t favor like this,”
“I can stand guard. While you all were busy, I sneakily took a nap,”
Seeing everyone looking at her, Fang Xiaocao said cheerfully.
“Here’s another proposal: Luoshu takes the first shift, Wen Shi and Wanqing take the second, I’ll take the third, and Zhi Qi the fourth,”
Fang Xiaocao proposed with a smile.
Upon hearing this, “Wan Xiaozhou” and “Yun Luoshu” both looked at Fang Xiaocao with a tinge of scrutiny in their eyes.
Fang Xiaocao’s proposal disrupted their plan.
Among them, only Yun Luoshu had been assigned a shift, and that too the first one.
This ant that when they prepared the night attack, there would be no one to cover them, and they were very likely to be discovered.
Even if these people were poor fighters,
even a lion must use full strength to hunt a rabbit, let alone a group of living humans.
If anything unexpected occurred, even the tough guys who road the Jianghu couldn’t endure the Blacklist’s punitive asures.
“Okay, let’s do it that way,”
Zhi Qi agreed.
Seeing Zhi Qi agree, “Yun Luoshu” and “Wan Xiaozhou” simultaneously grew a shade darker in their eyes.
“Luoshu, first shift, I’m counting on you,”
“Everyone else, make the most of the ti to rest,”
“Wen Shi and Su Wanqing, set your alarms for two hours, and take over on ti,”
Zhi Qi said with a smile.
“Okay~”
Wen Shi and Su Wanqing responded in unison.
“I’ll share a tent with Wen Shi and Wanqing, since I’m taking over from them,”
Fang Xiaocao said with a smile.
She was afraid of getting sneakily ssed with in the middle of the night if she shared a tent with two imposters.
“Okay,”
Zhi Qi thought for a mont and agreed.
This arrangent was quite reasonable.
It wouldn’t disturb the last shift, the first shift, and Xiaozhou who wouldn’t be on guard duty.
Seeing Zhi Qi agree, Fang Xiaocao stood up and headed towards the tent.
Wen Shi and Su Wanqing quickly followed.
“Luoshu, be smart and watch out for wild animals,”
“If you hear anything, call out imdiately,”
Zhi Qi advised before heading towards the tent.
“Yeah, I got it,”
“Yun Luoshu” responded.
“Wan Xiaozhou” and “Yun Luoshu” exchanged a glance, nodded, and followed Zhi Qi towards the tent.
Back in the tent, Fang Xiaocao chose a spot close to the entrance and crawled into her sleeping bag.
When closing the tent, she deliberately left a small gap to monitor the outside.
