Teleportations — I Wanna Be An Online Celebrity - Chapter 339
Chapter 339 Direct Provocation
Although Tang Xia had seen things like this many times, it was her first time encountering serial killers. She was indeed frightened. She pointed at the dark-colored thing on the ground with her trembling finger. “Blood…this is blood…”
Ye Yifan was stunned. His gaze followed her finger and he realized that the ground was filled with traces of blood. It only looked like it was black in color because it was dark at night.
“And there is a strong bloody smell, you shouldn’t touch it.” After saying that, Tang Xia felt disgusted and retched a little. Meanwhile, Ye Yifan did not seem to be bothered. He had already gotten used to it from the time with zombies. After all, he was a man.
He also lifted his hand and touched it. It was indeed blood, just like what Tang Xia said. However, it was not fresh blood. It was normal that Tang Xia failed to recognize it because she did not dare to drink the bags of blood the vampires had stolen.
But he did, so he was familiar with the taste. He frowned and looked towards a dark spot at the other side. Suddenly, he stood up and laughed coldly, “Seems like they’ve yet to gotten far. This trace of blood should be left behind just now. Let’s chase after them.”
Tang Xia nodded in agreement and the two walked along the trace of blood. Meanwhile, the group of people in the dark spot started to panic. “Master Mu, do you think we left some clues behind? We don’t know if the plasma we got from the hospital can fool them.”
Standing in the dark spot, Mu Chengxuan’s eagle-like eyes stared intensely at the two who were following the blood trace. Mu Chengxuan’s gaze grew deeper. He glared at his teammate with a cold gaze and said in a low voice, “Anyways, we need to be careful of that Ye Yifan.”
When the two reached the end of the blood trace, they saw that there was a factory before them. At this current moment, the factory looked so disheveled as if a gust of wind could make it collapse.
“Are you sure they’re hiding here? I feel that we can only get killed or be smashed to death by the walls,” Tang Xia could not help complaining. Meanwhile, Ye Yifan’s gaze deepened.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of a machine running. Tang Xia was startled greatly. The foot that was just about to step forward was pulled back by Ye Yifan. She turned around and looked at him in shock.
With a stern expression, he stared at the direction in which the sound was coming from. With one hand carrying his own hat, he said, “Why did you guys lead us here on purpose?”
Tang Xia was startled and quickly looked around. However, she did not see anyone. She could only hear the machine sound coming closer. She could not help looking towards it.
Suddenly, they heard a loud bang and the wall in front of them started falling towards their direction. Ye Yifan was quick to notice and instantly pulled Tang Xia along, successfully dodging it. Tang Xia felt a chill down her back. This was obviously an attempt to kill them.
Soon, another wall collapsed too. This time around, it was Tang Xia who pushed Ye Yifan away. However, a brick fell on her leg. When Ye Yifan realized it, he saw that the wall behind her was going to collapse soon.
At this moment, a man suddenly came running out while pulling along a woman. While running, he scolded, “Who! Who is it! If you caught me then so be it! Why must you tear down my house!”
At that instant, the demolishing machine stopped moving. Everything seemed to freeze. Tang Xia and Ye Yifan also froze on the spot obviously. In that strange situation, Ye Yifan suddenly ran out and grabbed hold of that man.
Tang Xia also struggled to stand up. She limped over to take a look and realized that this man was really grabbing onto a female hostage that was tied up. Suddenly, she had a weird feeling. Although this was the supposed ending, she still felt that they were being controlled.
At this moment, there was suddenly a round of applause coming from behind them and someone jumped out of the demolition machine. When they walked closer, Tang Xia then saw that it was Mu Chengxuan and his bunch of people from Cross-era.Read More chapter on our vi pnovel. com
“You guys have been stalking us?” Tang Xia finally asked what she had been thinking about. She always felt that she could not find them using the tracking system.
“Not only that, you guys designed this too, right? You used the plasma to put on a show to direct us here. You wanted to bury us in the rubble, but you miscalculated. The serial killer and the female hostage were really hiding here.” Ye Yifan gave a peal of cold laughter as he told them his speculation. He even glanced at the man beside him.
However, Mu Chengxuan did not look like he had been exposed. He laughed coldly and said to them in a low voice, “You were fifty percent right and fifty percent wrong.”
After Tang Xia digested everything, she eventually could not help but scowled, “You’re so cunning! You wanted to kill us for a game!”
Mu Chengxuan ignored her and said in a cold voice, “I did use some methods to lure you guys here. I also made them use the bulldozer to demolish this place. But I didn’t want to kill you guys. After all, this is not my mission.”
After saying so, Mu Chengxuan gave Ye Yifan a scornful look. However, Ye Yifan’s body stiffened. When that one possibility came to mind, he felt the disgusting feeling of being set up.
“Whatever you’re thinking, you’re right. Our mission is to prevent you guys from failing. If you guys win, we also win. We already knew that the serial killer and hostage were here, so we lured you guys here.”
He slowly approached them and leaned towards Yifan. He put on a cold smile and said, “But I didn’t plan to kill you guys by using a bulldozer to demolish the house, I just wanted to give you guys a scare for fun.”
Tang Xia’s breathing stagnated. This man in front of her felt increasingly unreasonable, to the point that she felt like he was a devil. At this moment, the system prompted that both sides had won and both parties then exited the novel world.
When Tang Xia and Ye Yifan came out, none of them said a word. Although the system prompted that both sides had won, they were very clear that they had lost completely. They had lost their dignity from being set up.
July walked over and handed the phone to both of them. Ye Yifan did not want to take it. Tang Xia knew that this was a blow to Ye Yifan’s self-esteem. Instead, she took it on her own. It was filled with fans bombarding Time-travel Bar.
“What a joke! How can someone so brainless be a streamer? She even publicized her return, but it turns out her brain just short-circuited.”
“I’m truly speechless at Time-travel Bar. Where’s my Tang Xia’s original IQ? Is it gone after half a year off?”
“Just shut down already, Time-travel Bar. You’re just a half-dead company still struggling to live.”
“…”
Tang Xia merely took a quick glance and she roughly knew the whole situation. She passed the phone to Ye Yifan. After a moment of silence, she eventually said, “Do you want to take a look?”
Ye Yifan was silent and threw the phone back to July. He then turned around and exited the room. Tang Xia quickly chased after him, wanting to comfort him.
As soon as she left the room, she realized that there was no trace of Ye Yifan. She panicked immediately. She started running around the company in a frenzy. Eventually, she found him in the lounge.Read More chapter on our vi pnovel. com
He was leaning tiredly against the sofa, but his eyes did not close. Tang Xia walked over and sat down silently beside him. Both of them just sat there in silence.
Just when the room was very quiet, Ye Yifan suddenly leaned over and said in a deep voice, “I’m really tired.” Then, he hugged Tang Xia directly. She was startled by his sudden move, but when her gaze saw the lowness in his eyes, she let him be.
“It’s okay. In our previous broadcasts, we’ve never met someone so unethical like Mu Chengxuan. There’s no need to be sad. At least he can’t win us if we do everything in an upright manner.” Then, she lifted her hand and gently caressed his hair.
However, Ye Yifan did not say a word. He just held onto Tang Xia. After an unknown period of time, Ye Yifan suddenly said, “I want to find a shoulder to lean on, can I?”
Tang Xia was startled. Her eyes lost focus before she lowered her head and said in a low voice, “You’ll find someone better.” She knew what he meant and why he said it. Hence, she answered him clearly to not give him a glimpse of hope.
Hearing this, Ye Yifan loosened his hands. His gaze seemed as if he wanted to poke a hole in her face. He laughed coldly, “You’re so cold-blooded. I still can’t compare to a system data that has no flesh or blood.”
This sentence seemed to poke at her deepest pain instantly. She stood up suddenly and left without saying anything. Ye Yifan looked at her back view as she left silently and could not help but laughed at himself.
In the next few days, the two companies went through several rounds of competition, and Time-travel Bar lost eventually. Cross-era flew their own color which allowed them to enjoy uninterrupted success. Meanwhile, the streamers from Time-travel Bar continued to lose one after another. Most importantly, with Mu Chengxuan as their leader, the team of Cross-era streamers even challenged all of Time-travel Bar’s streamers to a knockdown.
When this news reached Time-travel Bar’s senior executives, they exploded instantly. Coupled with the pressure of public opinion, they could not lift up their heads at all.
“What is this? Did we spend a large sum of money to hire you guys just for the company to enter hot waters again? Then I would rather have hired a new batch of people!” After saying so, the CEO threw the compilation of recent comments and reports at Tang Xia and Ye Yifan.
However, Tang Xia knew that he was mainly talking about her. He continued, “Especially you, Tang Xia. Look, everyone on this compilation is asking you to quit. Let me tell you this, if it was not for Ye…other reasons, you would have scrammed by now!”
Tang Xia lowered her gaze slightly and glanced at them coldly. The CEO and other senior executives all felt the chills from her gaze. The CEO quickly coughed twice and continued, “Anyways, from now on, if you guys can’t give Cross-era a lesson, I will teach you two a lesson!”
Ye Yifan was calm all the way as if he did not take note of any of these. Tang Xia glanced at him and could only stay silent. The CEO saw their moves and slammed the table. “Enough! Go back and think about it!”
