Inside the Government Office Secret Chamber where Bai Mofei and Lu Yingying are located, there is a device that can double Victory Coins. Open the safe in the Government Office Secret Chamber before 43 minutes remain to obtain the secret artifact that can activate the Victory Coin doubling device. The safe's password consists of four numbers of different colors, each found on the back of one of the four Hunters.
As soon as this task was announced, almost everyone sighed in unison. Looking at the numbers on the Hunters' backs was no different from directly courting death. A head peered out from a small alley, nervously observing the situation on the main road. Seeing no sign of Hunters, he turned to the person behind him and spoke.
"It's temporarily safe outside now. We'll split into two groups. You go hide in the Government Office Secret Chamber first. I'll synchronize all the information I get with you."
Yi Xing hesitated repeatedly before revealing his next arrangement. The task he was about to undertake was very dangerous, and he couldn't protect her. It was better to let her find a place to hide.
"Alright, then you be careful." Ju Jingyi walked in another direction, but her path was opposite to the location of the Government Office Secret Chamber. No matter how he thought, he wouldn't have imagined that such a beautiful woman would be a complete directionally challenged person. Even with a map in her hand, she might not be able to find the correct way.
"Xiao Ju!"
"What's wrong?"
"You're going the wrong way. The Government Office Secret Chamber is this way. Never mind, I'll take you there." Yi Xing's hand had just lifted to point in the correct direction, then he lowered it again. Just going straight wouldn't get them to their destination; they still needed to make a few more turns. Looking at Ju Jingyi, she wouldn't be able to find the correct way by herself.
"Oh, okay."
She mumbled softly, her face slightly flushed, feeling a bit embarrassed about her poor sense of direction. This wasn't something she could control, and what could she do if she couldn't understand? Usually, she relied on smart navigation, and if it told her to go east, she would never go west.
So, they continued to walk together towards the Government Office Secret Chamber. Unlike their private interactions, this time Yi Xing walked in front, his guard fully up, looking ahead then behind. Ju Jingyi followed closely behind him, afraid of taking a wrong turn if she wasn't careful.
As he walked, he suddenly stopped and pulled the person behind him down, crouching behind a box. A Hunter appeared directly in front of them. Fortunately, he was fast enough to hide before the other party could look over.
"You stay crouched here. I'll see if I can spot the number on his back." After speaking, he gently placed his hands on the box, secretly revealing a pair of eyes, observing with great stealth.
Before long, the Hunter arrived in the area where he was hiding and walked forward without any hesitation, revealing the number pasted on his back. It was a silver 9. After getting the information he wanted, he pulled his peeking head back.
Just as he was about to share the news with Ju Jingyi, he noticed her desperately covering her mouth with her hands, her eyes crinkling, trying not to make any sound.
"The Hunter is gone. We are safe now. You can take your hands down."
"Hahahaha!" She burst out laughing as she lowered her hands.
"What are you laughing at? Share it with me, let me be happy too." Yi Xing asked, puzzled. In his memory, nothing particularly funny had happened just now.
"Nothing, it's not important."
"Alright then, let's continue. We're almost at our destination." Although he was a bit confused, he didn't dwell on it. Completing the task was the top priority.
Ju Jingyi stared at his back, the smile on her face lingering. At that moment, Yi Xing was peeking at the number on the Hunter's back, and his sneaky demeanor was simply hilarious to watch. She desperately covered her mouth to keep herself from laughing out loud and attracting the Hunter. Now, every time she thought of that scene, she couldn't help but want to laugh again, having held it in for quite a while.
Soon after, the two turned a corner, and the Government Office Secret Chamber appeared before them. Yi Xing, relieved to have safely escorted the other party to their destination, turned around and said.
"We've arrived. Go inside and find a safe place to hide. Oh, right, you need to remember that one of the numbers is a silver 9. I'm going to look for the other numbers now."
"OK, you be careful, don't put yourself in danger. I don't want to see news of you being eliminated."
"I promise I won't." He patted his chest to assure her, then disappeared from Ju Jingyi's sight.
Yi Xing wasn't the only one trying to get information from the Hunters. Other acceleration team members were also using their unique skills in various corners, trying every possible method to get clues. This brings us to Wang Yuan.
Kids always have many tricks up their sleeves. He and Jia Nailiang walked together, quietly discussing strategies on what to do if they encountered a Hunter. At this moment, his eyes darted around, and he lowered his voice, saying.
"Xiao Liang Ge, here's what we'll do: if we run into a Hunter, I'll let him catch me directly, and then I'll tell you the number I get. You need to listen carefully. How's this plan?"
"No need, no need. We don't have to do it this way. It's best to get the information safely." Jia Nailiang quickly waved his hand, rejecting his suggestion. If someone had to be sacrificed, it should be him. What kind of situation was it to let a kid go?
A certain director, feeling bored, decided to grant Wang Yuan's request and specifically called a Hunter to walk back and forth near them. This scared the two of them badly. The plan they had just proposed was as if it had never been mentioned, and they ran in the opposite direction.
Coincidentally, a Hunter also passed by this area and witnessed Wang Yuan running out, immediately rushing towards him. He saw him and didn't plan to resist, standing still and waiting for the other party's hands to be placed on him, looking like he was ready to accept reality.
After catching the person, the Hunter walked forward. Wang Yuan took this opportunity to see the number pasted on his back, which was a red 6, and immediately shouted it out loud.
"Xiao Liang Ge, a red 6!"
Jia Nailiang, who hadn't run far, heard the cry from his sacrificed companion and spoke to the camera following him.
"Wang Yuan, you are truly amazing. Liang Ge admires you. You did what I didn't dare to do. Incredible. I received the information you conveyed, and I will tell the others."
On Yi Xing's side, he was searching everywhere for the other three Hunters, wanting to collect information from their backs. Compared to before, he seemed like a different person, walking brazenly on the street, completely unafraid of Hunters appearing. Rather, he was hoping someone would come to catch him, so he could get the information, and he was confident he could shake them off.
But things didn't go as he wished. He walked for a long time without finding any trace of a Hunter, complaining to the camera: "Are you deliberately keeping the Hunters from coming my way?"
He seemed to have found a blind spot; otherwise, how could he not encounter any? Someone was definitely interfering, deliberately delaying the task completion time, and none of this would appear when the show aired.
Since the production team didn't intend to let him complete the task quickly, Yi Xing simply decided to give up. Just then, there were two foreigners by the roadside, drinking and chatting, and they even waved him over to join them.
