Chapter 103: Key

After settling the rest of the seafood, Fatty washed his hands and sat down across from Jiang Cheng.

“Doctor,” Fatty began hesitantly, “You’re free now, right?”

Jiang Cheng leaned on the chair and picked his teeth. His other hand swiped through the short videos. The women in the video danced happily. His face slowly turned red. “They should be asleep at this hour. They won’t answer your calls...”VIssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).com for the best novel reading experience

Fatty was confused. He reacted after a while. He quickly explained, “Doctor, I’m not talking about the rich ladies. I want to ask you... about the missions.”

Jiang Cheng provided the most basic respect when he heard the term mission. He turned off his phone and placed it on the table. After seeing this, Fatty also became serious. He straightened himself and leaned forward, “Doctor, I still have the same question. What does the clue represent? Who had it in the previous mission?”

Jiang Cheng raised his head. The way he looked at Fatty shifted. Fatty’s first reaction was to look away as if... he was hiding something.

“Continue.” Jiang Cheng lifted his chin with interest. His fingers that tapped the table stopped.

Fatty pressed his lips. He continued in a severe tone, “Since Zhang Yinyin physically searched the woman in the qipao’s body, it means the clues are something physical and not verbal messages. Plus, when she did this, the mission just started. Therefore, the clue was not found in the mission, but someone carried them into the mission.” He continued his analysis, “The thing should be small. Otherwise, Zhang Yinyin’s action of unbuttoning the qipao couldn’t be explained. The qipao is a tight-fitting outfit so if the thing was hidden by the woman, it should be very small or...”

Fatty suddenly stopped. He looked at Jiang Cheng with a complicated gaze.

“Or it’s extremely thin.” Jiang Cheng naturally continued. He leaned back and lay on the couch comfortably. From Fatty’s perspective, half of his face became hidden in the dark.

“That newspaper is the key to starting that mission,” Jiang Cheng’s voice was even and cold. Fatty rarely encountered Jiang Cheng like this. His face was strangely unfamiliar when he was not joking. It caused Fatty to sit up straighter. A wall of pressure hit him, causing him to have difficulty breathing.

“Chen Xiaomeng...” Fatty’s face was red, and his breathing became uneven, “So... that newspaper was the reward from the first mission, and Chen Xiaomeng got it.” Since Jiang Cheng didn’t answer, Fatty knew that he was right.

Then, everything else could be guessed. Jiang Cheng, who was also new, didn’t know how to use the newspaper. Therefore, he kept it on him and went to sleep. He didn’t expect the newspaper to initiate a new round of nightmares. Just like what Jiang Cheng said, the newspaper was a key. However, different from the first mission when they were passively dragged into it, they actively entered the second one.

In other words, having the key meant having the authority in the nightmare. It felt like a lot of things were flowing through Fatty’s mind, but it only took him less than ten seconds to figure things out.

“Doctor,” Fatty pursed his lips, “When did you realise this?”

Jiang Cheng glanced at him. “Realise what?”

“The clues...” Fatty’s throat moved and gave a small hint, “That they didn’t have the clues, but you have it on you... The newspapers.”

Jiang Cheng thought about it and said, “Probably around when we realised there was a ghost among us.”

“Luo Yi?” Fatty thought back about the situation then.
