Chapter 1621: Rubik's Cube Beauty (83)

“Kid, do you want to get out?”

“Of course I do. Tell me, what do I need to do?” Zhai Chenming compromised. There were indeed many wondrous things in the Rubik’s Cube World.

He was tempted by them as well.

But he hated being a lab rat and refused to have every move he made monitored by those people.

Those people stood high above, looking down upon their struggles and slaughter with contempt.

The feeling made him deeply uncomfortable.

So long as he could leave, he was willing to pay any price.

“The answer lies in the dagger you just drew.” The mysterious man’s voice carried a trace of excitement. “As long as you use this dagger to pierce the heart of one of them, the instant that person dies will be the moment the Rubik’s Cube World collapses. In such a short span of time, the Rubik’s Cube World won’t be able to nurture another spiritual artifact. Kid, what you do is up to you. If you’re unwilling, then continue drifting here and let yourself be watched like a lab rat.”

“Let me think about it.”

After returning to his room, Zhai Chenming sat inside expressionlessly.

Seeing him like that, Yi Yingxue comforted him. “A-Ming, let’s save up more Rubik’s Cube Coins and draw a few more times. We’ll definitely get the key. Don’t be unhappy. Look, we’ve already obtained everything we wanted. Everything has to be done step by step.”

Yi Yingxue truly felt that what they had gained had already far exceeded their expectations.

So many people had died along the way, and yet they had survived. How fortunate they were.

Looking at Yi Yingxue’s cheerful face, Zhai Chenming had no intention of discussing his thoughts with her.

The expressions of Yin Rui and his sister made him give up on the idea even more.

“Xue’er, go have some fun with Tang Guo and Xiaofei. I’m just thinking about what we should do next.”

After a pause, he continued, “Tang Guo has helped us a lot throughout this journey. You should thank her properly.”

“That’s true.” Yi Yingxue found it reasonable. Seeing that Zhai Chenming seemed to want some time alone, she decided not to disturb him.

Watching Yi Yingxue turn and leave the room, Zhai Chenming took a deep breath. “I’ll find an opportunity,” he said as he took out the dagger, “to drive this dagger into that person’s heart.”

“Oh… so you’ve already chosen someone?”

“Yes.”

He had made the decision just now. The target he had chosen was the easiest to approach—and also the person he wanted to kill the most.

“Didn’t you already give me that pretty dress?” Tang Guo said with a smile at the doorway. “I didn’t really help you with anything. You were just lucky.”

Yi Yingxue disagreed. “What’s one dress? We can’t get out for now, and the next lottery draw won’t be until half a year later. No matter what, I have to thank you properly.”

“All right, then.”

Tang Guo agreed and went shopping with Yi Yingxue. It was obvious that Yi Yingxue was sincere.

Pulling open the curtains, Zhai Chenming watched the three women’s figures gradually disappear into the distance. The smile on his face deepened. “This is a perfect opportunity.”

“Tang Guo, what’s wrong?” Yi Yingxue asked curiously when Tang Guo suddenly stopped walking.

Tang Guo looked somewhat helpless. “Xie Yun told me before that if I went out, I should bring him along. See? I forgot all about him. It’s not far from here, so let’s go back and call him.”

Neither Yi Yingxue nor Yin Xiaofei suspected anything.

Still groggy from sleep, Xie Yun suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

He climbed out of bed, rubbed his eyes, opened the door, and casually asked, “Who is it?”
