Sure enough, they quickly found beggars, and more than one. When some people saw Yi Xing and Ju Jingyi approaching, they came up with their bowls and said pitifully.
"Young master, young lady, please be kind and give this humble one some food. I haven't eaten for several days."
Both people who were called stopped. Yi Xing didn't have any food on him; he had only visited the break room once to revive a teammate and hadn't gone back since.
This time, his physical and mental exertion wasn't significant, so he didn't need to resupply like before. Now it was up to Ju Jingyi.
She felt her pocket, pulled out a Snickers bar, handed it over, and said, "Does this work?"
"Yes, yes, thank you so much, young lady! Do you have anything you want to know? I know everything!"
"I'd like to ask, where is the great hero Yun Feiyang now?"
"You're asking about Great Hero Yun? He lives in seclusion at Bagua Lake. There's a Bagua lamp at the entrance. When you get there, you'll know who Great Hero Yun is."
"Okay, thank you!" Ju Jingyi's tone was full of excitement as she nodded to the beggar who gave her the information, then turned to look at the man beside her.
Even with the exact location, her sense of direction meant she wouldn't find Bagua Lake. She still needed Yi Xing's help, as she was directionally challenged and had no navigation.
Yi Xing picked up the map, checked Yun Feiyang's location, and led Ju Jingyi in that direction. Since they were undercover, they weren't threatened by the reporting squad or hunters.
They reached their destination in no time and immediately saw a man inside teaching students how to wield swords. He must be Yun Feiyang, mentioned in the mission.
The two who arrived walked forward, and Yi Xing spoke first: "May I ask if you are the great hero Yun Feiyang?"
"I am. May I ask what you need me for?"
"Do you know Li Liang?"
"Li Liang? What happened to him?" At the mention of Li Liang's name, Yun Feiyang's emotions suddenly became agitated. He dropped the sword in his hand and placed both hands on the shoulders of the person in front of him, shaking him.
"Calm down. He is currently imprisoned by the Emperor in the Heavenly Prison and needs you to rescue him."
"Then I'll trouble you to lead the way."
"Let's go!"
What was originally a small squad of two now had an additional person. On their way to the Heavenly Prison, more people were caught by hunters, and not just one—Jia Ling and Wang Yuan.
Somehow, they gathered together, and a beggar with mission clues appeared before them. Naturally, they wouldn't miss this opportunity.
Jia Ling took out a bottle of yogurt from her person and gave it to the beggar, also getting Yun Feiyang's location from him. Just as she was about to leave, members of the reporting squad appeared nearby and spotted them.
Beating the drum in his hand vigorously, he attracted the hunters' attention. Sure enough, two hunters followed the drum sound to this location, each locking onto a target and quickly eliminating them.
Now, only 7 people are left alive on the field, and two of them are from the hunter's faction. In other words, there are only 5 Accelerators left.
Under the escort of Yi Xing and Ju Jingyi, Yun Feiyang quickly arrived at the gate of the Heavenly Prison. There were indeed many guards stationed there.
"You two, leave quickly. The rest is up to me."
"Thank you for your hard work, Great Hero Yun!" Yi Xing cupped his hands, pulled Ju Jingyi's arm, and they went to a nearby spot to watch. He expected to see a particularly intense fight scene, but in the end, he realized he had thought too much.
Yun Feiyang, holding a long sword, agilely charged into the crowd of imperial guards. Every move and stance felt utterly powerless; his foot hadn't even kicked up yet, and the person had already fallen to the ground, full of flaws.
But then again, this is just a variety show; there's no need to demand this or that. They can't possibly ask the production team to specially spend money to hire professional actors with martial arts backgrounds, can they?
After a series of choreographed moves, all the guards at the Heavenly Prison gate fell to the ground. Yun Feiyang kicked open the tightly shut door and searched inside for Li Liang.
Yi Xing and Ju Jingyi quickly approached the reporting device, simultaneously reaching out their hands to it, the man's hand on the bottom, the woman's hand on top of his.
"Are you ready? 3, 2, 1, pull!"
With that command, the two pulled down the device's switch. The moment the device was deactivated, notifications were sent to everyone's phones.
【Through the efforts of Yi Xing and Ju Jingyi, the reporting device has been successfully deactivated. All reporting squads currently on the field will now disappear.】
"Yes! Yi Xing, you're amazing! You're simply my god!" Jia Nailiang hugged his phone and kissed it several times. He was still hiding in a corner, and the mission was already completed. This feeling of winning by just lying down was truly too comfortable.
When the last acceleration mission was completed, there were still a full ten minutes left. This period was particularly agonizing for the Accelerators.
When they had missions, they could distract themselves by doing them, not paying too much attention to the passage of time. Now that there were no missions, they could only stare at the countdown displayed on their phones, second by second, as if each second lasted a year.
In contrast, the undercover agents appeared very relaxed. They walked around, looked here and there, touring the entire game area. There was nothing that could threaten them now, and they seemed completely unconcerned about being discovered.
According to Yi Xing's thinking: "Since there are no missions now, shouldn't I find a safe place to hide? Who has time to wander around outside?"
"Yi Xing, don't we need to specifically look for the remaining people?" Ju Jingyi asked, tilting her head. The other person was so keen on finding others initially, but after just one mission, he seemed like a different person.
"No need. It's best if we run into them, but it doesn't matter if we don't. We've already earned enough victory coins," he replied without hesitation.
Through his previous searches, he had understood these people's hiding skills. Finding each person required a lot of his energy and mental effort. Rather than that, he might as well enjoy being a tourist.
However, someone didn't want things to go his way. Xu Ke, who heard this conversation through the listening device, immediately issued an ultimate mission to both sides, to push Yi Xing and motivate him.
【All Accelerator teammates, please find the undercover agent hidden among you and report them for elimination before the countdown ends. If no undercover agent remains among the survivors, all Accelerators' victory coins will be doubled. Otherwise, they will be halved.】
【Undercover agents, please try your best to eliminate all Accelerator teammates by reporting their locations. If no Accelerator teammates survive until the end, the undercover agents' victory coins will be doubled. Otherwise, for each surviving Accelerator teammate, the undercover agents' victory coins will be reduced by 100,000.】
