Chapter 752: Chapter 10 Semi-finals!
Thud, thud-thud.
The knocking interrupted Jason’s reading once again.
Jason frowned slightly as he looked toward the ‘door’.
"It’s , Pers.”
The ‘Initiator’ spoke politely.
Jason nodded lightly.
...
The color faded from the ‘door’, revealing the ‘Initiator’ Pers.
Unlike the few previous encounters, this always calm and gentle ‘Initiator’ Pers now had a trace of sothing unusual on his face, a sign he tried to hide but still showed through.
What had happened?
Jason guessed based on the other’s expression.
And the next mont, the ‘Initiator’ cut straight to the chase.
"Billder just had a car accident.”
"The person is in a comatose state.”
"Hospital tests indicate a high likelihood of vegetative state.”
As his words ended, Pers’s gaze fell on Jason.
It wasn’t a stare, nor was it a peek.
But rather, it was sothing strange.
Or rather, an indescribable feeling.
This sensation was sowhat uncomfortable for Jason.
He felt that Pers’s gaze upon him was as if he was looking at a ‘harbinger of disaster’.
Send 9 t him, and then died.
Billder t him, and then beca a vegetable.
But what does that have to do with Jason?
Others were plotting.
He, Jason, was innocent.
"Ahem, ahem, contestant Jason, no offense intended.”
The ‘Initiator’ Pers cleared his throat lightly, starting to regulate his emotions.
The gaze from before, Pers assured himself it wasn’t intentional.
It was just too coincidental.
So coincidental that he couldn’t help but suspect more.
However, now that he had cald down, he also believed that these two incidents must have been targeted.
Soone had made a move against the ‘Send Family’.
Jason was innocent.
He was involved in it all.
But…
The Send Family definitely wouldn’t see it that way.
With that family’s approach, he could completely foresee what would co next.
He, most certainly didn’t want to be caught in the crossfire.
Thinking this, the ‘Initiator’ Pers sowhat regretted coming here directly.
He should have waited.
Waited until soone from above ca to inquire, then he could have arrived.
Instead of coming over directly out of curiosity.
Damn curiosity!
I had warned myself, to remain uninvolved!
But what’s done is done.
He had no room left for regret.
Was it too late for a redy?
As Pers pondered this, a conflicted look unwittingly appeared on his face.
"Contestant Jason, if you need anything, please press the call button.”
"I am available 24 hours.”
With these words, Pers turned and left.
As for what more to say to Jason?
The previous words were already the limit for an ‘Initiator’; saying more would indeed risk being ‘cleared’ by the ‘Send Family’.
Moreover, even with just this,
The ‘Initiator’ was already on tenterhooks.
In Pers’s mind, so ‘risky’ plans started to erge.
Pers turned and left, and the color of the ‘door’ returned to normal.
Jason watched the ‘door’.
A hint of amusent appeared on the face obscured by the mask.
When Send 9 was assassinated, Jason felt an intuition that ‘soone was plotting’.
The accidental car accident involving Billder solidified his intuition by a fraction.
And now?
The arrival of Pers further confird his suspicions.
Of course, Pers had no connection to ‘The Planner’.
This ‘Initiator’ was likely just a ‘pawn’ like Galen.
Simply put, both Pers and Galen were carefully chosen by ‘The Planner’.
Galen’s kindness, diligence, yet not cowardice was what the other party valued.
What Pers was valued for was the curiosity and impulsiveness that he kept hidden.
According to Jason’s reasoning, if it weren’t for curiosity, Pers simply wouldn’t appear at this ti and would have chosen a more appropriate mont instead.
For example, accompanied by soone else.
Or simply, it would be when he was given an order.
Showing up alone at this mont would put Pers at an absolute disadvantage.
If he were Pers, what would he do at this ti?
He likely would delete the footage of his visit here.
But by doing so, Pers would fall into another trap set by ‘The Planner’.
Then, it would be a quagmire from which he couldn’t extricate himself.
And all these were expected by ‘The Planner’.
"What do you want?”
"The Send Family?”
"Or… sothing bigger?”
Jason thought to himself, a glint flashing through his eyes.
He hadn’t forgotten his own identity: The Hunter.
Known by ‘viewers’ and most of the ti as ‘The Hunter’, and in official records referred to as ‘The Brutalizer’.
Similarly, how could ‘The Planner’ have possibly overlooked him after scheming so much?
He, too, was a pawn.
Just like Galen, just like Pers.
But slightly different.
His pawn identity was ‘random’, not fixed.
Initially, he wasn’t a ‘pawn’; the ‘pawn’ identity was established as he beca a ‘victor’ in the preliminaries.
This ant that in the previous preliminaries, whoever beca the ‘victor’, would be the victor.
Whether it was the ‘Big Boy’, the ‘Wheelchair Strategist’, or the ‘Skull Collector’, any could have.
But, this type of ‘arrangent’ had many uncertainties.
For ‘The Planner’ to quickly arrange for Pers as the ‘Initiator’ was not easy.
Therefore—
"This Planner, not only holds a significant position in the ‘ga’, but also has everything prepared well in advance, just waiting for , or another ‘Hunter’, to appear, then to initiate this plan.”
