Chapter 61: Sorry, I'm undercover.

After wandering for a long time, no one was seen, including Wang Yuan, who was with Pan Binglong at the beginning. He didn't know where he had gone to hide. Instead, several Hunters were seen. Just when they were at a loss, the last mission was released with 24 minutes left on the countdown.

The Emperor has sent officers and soldiers to pursue Cai Yue. Five communication troops are mixed among the officers and soldiers. Starting now, five communication troops will be released every 5 minutes. Once the communication troops discover an Accelerator, they will beat drums to summon Hunters.

To stop this, you must find the hero Yun Feiyang and take him to the Sky Prison to rescue Li Liang to activate the communication disabling device before 5 minutes remain. Otherwise, the communication troops will remain until the end of the game.

If an Accelerator successfully reports an undercover agent, 10 communication troops will be reduced. Undercover agents will not be reported by communication troops.

This mission was too unfriendly to the undercover agent, almost directly telling others who the undercover agent was. Yi Xing sighed helplessly. He couldn't not participate in this mission.

It was not only to quickly eliminate the communication troops to reduce others' suspicion of him, but also to prevent too many "Victory Coins" from being eliminated because of this. Then he looked at Ju Jingyi next to him and asked.

"I'm going to do the mission. Are you coming with me or...?"

"Of course, together! We are partners, after all. If we live, we live together; if we are eliminated, we are eliminated together."

"Okay, then let's go!"

However, neither of them had any clues about Yun Feiyang mentioned in the mission. One had only contributed a little in the revival mission and spent the rest of the time slacking off, while the other was eliminated before Mission One even began.

They had no idea how to proceed, wandering around the city like headless flies. However, just because they didn't know didn't mean others didn't. It was truly a case of someone bringing a pillow when you were sleepy.

"Yi Xing, do you know where to find Yun Feiyang?"

"I don't know, I wanted to ask you."

"What a coincidence, isn't it? I happen to know. I met a beggar on the street earlier, and he told me that beggars know everything. When needed, you can go to him. You should be able to find out Yun Feiyang's exact location from him."

Jia Nailiang on the other end of the phone let out a triumphant laugh. He didn't expect to have information that even the team's brain didn't know, which made him feel a little proud.

"Alright, I know what to do."

Now that they knew where to get clues, their goal gradually became clear. They began to search for the beggar in the area, and by the way, see if they could find any unexpected gains, such as other Accelerators.

They really did find someone hiding in a corner. Yi Xing originally wanted to leave directly and find a place to report the person's exact location to the Hunter, but who would have thought the other party would directly call out his name?

"Yi Xing, Xiao Ju, come quickly!"

Since he was called, he couldn't pretend not to see them. He turned around and walked over, a gentle and kind smile on his face.

"Why are you hiding here? Where's Han Dongjun? Isn't he protecting you?"

"He went to do a mission with others. What are your plans next? Take me with you!" Jin Cheng's eyes sparkled, seemingly filled with anticipation.

Yi Xing and Ju Jingyi looked at each other. Jin Cheng's actions had somewhat disrupted their current plan. They had originally intended to eliminate her directly, but now they had brought trouble upon themselves. It didn't seem appropriate not to take her, but taking her would prevent them from moving forward unimpeded.

Take her or not?

It's up to you. I'm going out for some fresh air.

After exchanging glances, Yi Xing turned around and found an opportunity to leave the area, standing at the entrance and proactively taking on the duty of keeping watch, seemingly completely uninterested in the girls' upcoming conversation.

(To add, since these people are mostly peers, they won't actively call each other 'brother' or 'sister' unless they are asking for a favor.)

"Yi Xing and I are going to find a beggar in the city to inquire about Yun Feiyang's whereabouts. If you come along, that would be great. An extra person means an extra bit of strength."

"Let's go, let's go! I know where the beggar is." Jin Cheng directly put her arm around Ju Jingyi and led her in the direction she knew.

Behind them, Yi Xing bowed to the two. It turned out that when he left earlier, he had already reported their location to the Hunter. Judging by the time, the Hunter should be arriving soon. He let Ju Jingyi play the good guy, while he played the bad guy.

He stood still, silently counting the seconds in his heart. When he counted to 10, a Hunter indeed appeared in front of them. Jin Cheng immediately panicked, letting go of the hand she was holding and grabbing her to run backward.

Seeing Yi Xing still standing still, she shouted loudly at him, "Run, there's a Hunter!"

But his actions made her a little stunned. Instead of running, he actively went forward, blocking her path tightly, not giving her any chance to escape.

At this moment, Jin Cheng finally reacted, still a little disbelieving of what she saw before her, and asked, "You're actually an undercover agent?"

"Yes, I'm an undercover agent. Sorry about that, Jin Cheng! And not only me, but the person you're holding right now is also."

She immediately let go of his hand and turned to look at Ju Jingyi. At this moment, the Hunter also caught up and grabbed her. After a while, she accepted the fact and laughed at herself.

"I'm really so stupid. I clearly knew there were undercover agents mixed in, so why did I trust others so easily?" She cried inwardly. If she were given another chance, she would still choose to go with them. There was no way to distinguish who was an undercover agent from their appearance.

"I'm really sorry. It's just that we belong to different factions, so even if you're eliminated, you can't reveal any information about us to others. But you can say that you were eliminated by an undercover agent, that's fine." Yi Xing apologized again and explained the rules she had to follow later.

After Jin Cheng left, Ju Jingyi finally asked why she had to be eliminated. They had clearly promised to take her along, and she hadn't forgotten to pull her along when they were escaping, which made her feel a little guilty.

"She must be caught, otherwise our risk of exposure will greatly increase. And with her around, there are many things we can't do. It would be fine in the first few missions, but now that it's the last mission, I must adopt a solution that maximizes benefits."

After listening to Yi Xing's explanation, she understood that everything he did was to win the final victory. She sighed slightly and adjusted her mood.

"Don't sigh, sighing takes away good luck."

"When you sighed, I didn't say anything to you, and now you're telling me what to do?"

"I don't have good luck, so I don't need to worry about these things."

Goodness, being unselectable is the highest mechanism. With just one sentence, Yi Xing left Ju Jingyi at a loss for what to say next. Yi Xing gently clapped his hands.

"Alright, chitchat is over. We should go do the mission."

"Okay, if you want to eliminate someone next time, remember to tell me so I can prepare myself mentally."

"Okay, no problem!"

The two chatted as they walked towards the Market, which was the place with the highest foot traffic and the most likely place to find a beggar.
