Chapter 101 - The Book Piercing Project

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Hui retracted her hand, her gaze still cold. 

“Speak.”

The ninth master coughed for a long while before finally saying, “This is a book piercing project. All of you are the test subjects that have been put into the book. The rich people in the real world are doing this project to develop a book piercing project. First, we’ll see how many people a book can carry. It’s similar to a tour to Mars. As the first batch of test subjects, you are the abandoned group. They will continue to insert people into this book until the world completely collapses.”

In other words, in the end, all the people that were inserted into the book will die?

Mu Hui quickly caught the loophole in his words. 

“You know so well that you’re in cahoots with those tycoons?”

.

But if that was really the case, why would he hunt down the book readers?

Something must have gone wrong.

The ninth master did not expect Mu Hui to be smarter than he had imagined. He answered cautiously, “I was also one of the researchers in this project, but because I disagreed with the higher-ups, I was thrown into the book as an abandoned child.”

Mu Hui had a rough guess and replied, “So you set up an organization to fight against the management?”

“More or less.”

Mu Hui cast him a cold glance and asked, “Then why are you targeting us?”

The ninth master did not dare to hide anything. He put on a fake smile and said, “I said, don’t be angry.”

Mu Hui’s face was solemn, and her expression was as cold as an icicle. 

“Speak.”

“If we don’t kill you guys, are we just going to wait for the world to be destroyed? Compared to our own lives, you are all just test subjects. Moreover, you are all cannon fodder. You are not worth a thing…”

Before the ninth master could finish speaking, he met Mu Hui’s cold gaze. Fear immediately surged through his heart. 

“No, that’s not what I meant.”

Mu Hui did not care about this. She furrowed her brows tightly and asked, “Does this earthquake have anything to do with you?”

After all, there had never been an earthquake in City B before. The earthquake was very strange.

The ninth master thought to himself. He realized that he was about to reveal everything. If this continued, there would be no more secrets left.

He immediately waved his hand and said, “I’m not a god, how can I care… Ah!”

Before he could finish speaking, a crack sound was heard and his bones were broken. His wrist was ruthlessly broken by Mu Hui.

Mu Hui grabbed his neck and secretly exerted force.

“If you dare to play tricks with me, it won’t just be your hand that’s broken!”

“I was wrong, I was wrong!”

The ninth master was in so much pain that he begged for mercy. 

“The earthquake in City B was also caused by the energy fluctuation as a result of the excessive number of people who had dropped the book! This means that the situation is getting more and more serious…”

The ninth master’s smile was even uglier than his tears. He really regretted that he had thought of Mu Hui.

This cannon fodder was even more arrogant than Lu Yichen, the male lead. It was as if he had opened up a golden finger.

…

At that moment, in the hospital ward, Fu Siye woke up.

Old Master Fu immediately went forward and asked, “Siye, you’re awake? Are you feeling unwell?”

Fu Siye looked around and his eyes were dark. He asked, “Where’s Mu Hui?”

When Old Master Fu heard this, he was so angry that he slammed his crutch on the ground. 

“Don’t go looking for that woman again. After you fainted, she ran away. You…”

Without waiting for Old Master Fu to finish speaking, Fu Siye got up and left. He ignored everyone’s attempts to stop him.

Old Master Fu was so angry that he sat on the sofa and threw his crutch on the ground. He shouted, “What a disaster! What a disaster!”

Fu Siye sent his men to investigate and found out that Mu Hui had gone to the ninth master’s clubhouse. He was worried about her safety, so he immediately mobilized his men to surround the entire clubhouse.

The people in the clubhouse did not expect Fu Siye to rush in from the outside with a large group of people. In an instant, the birds and beasts scattered. No one dared to inform the ninth master.

With a bang, the door was kicked open from the outside.

Mu Hui looked over subconsciously and frowned slightly. 

“Fu Siye?”

Their gazes met.

Mu Hui was wearing a sexy dance outfit in front of the ninth master.

Fu Siye narrowed his eyes, and his gaze became dangerous.

His bodyguards could tell that their CEO was jealous. They immediately broke out in a cold sweat for the ninth master.

Mu Hui walked over, and Fu Siye immediately hugged her slender waist. He lifted her chin with his slightly cold fingers and asked, “Who are you wearing this to please?”

Mu Hui asked, “Are you jealous?”

Fu Siye’s face was cold, but he did not say anything.

She pushed Fu Siye away slightly and kicked the ninth master’s body. It hurt so much that he cried out in pain.

“I came here to avenge you. How is it? Are you satisfied?”

“Since it’s revenge, let’s be thorough and make him disappear.”

Fu Siye’s tone was so cold that the ninth master, who was on the ground, could not help but shiver.

“CEO Fu, I was wrong. I was really wrong. I…”

“Shut up!”

Mu Hui glared at him. The ninth master was so scared that he curled up in the corner and did not even dare to look at Mu Hui.

She looked at Fu Siye and said calmly, “Keep him for now. He’s still useful.”

Fu Siye held Mu Hui’s hand tightly and looked at the bodyguards behind him. 

“Lock him up.”

“Yes, CEO.”
