Chapter 1901: Chapter 1080: Cooperation
Yamamoto Chunai held a baseball bat, cautiously watching over the unconscious Watanabe Gou while loudly questioning Xiao Lin Zhengyan.
She dared not relax for a moment. Only after confirming that Watanabe Gou was completely unconscious did she check on Xiao Lin Zhengyan’s condition.
Fortunately, Xiao Lin Zhengyan’s injuries weren’t serious, with only a small cut at the corner of his mouth. After resting for a moment, he regained consciousness.
"Miss Yamamoto, thank you... thank you." Xiao Lin Zhengyan was filled with gratitude that Yamamoto Chunai had come back to save him. Otherwise, he would have been in danger tonight.
"Don’t say that, Mr. Xiaolin, I should be the one thanking you." Even Yamamoto Chunai hadn’t expected Xiao Lin Zhengyan to be so reliable at a critical moment. He was someone she could trust.
Relying on their combined strength, they managed to defeat the private detective Watanabe Gou, which filled them with confidence for the future.
Looking at the unconscious Watanabe Gou on the ground, Xiao Lin Zhengyan remained vigilant. Since the other party had gone to such extremes, there was no need to show mercy, "We can’t let him off just like that. Tie him up first, then... then throw him out, the ticket is still on him."
"Alright." After the previous incidents, Yamamoto Chunai hated this person to the bone and showed no mercy in her actions.
Without wasting words, they took down the clothesline from the room, and then Yamamoto Chunai took the initiative to skillfully tie Watanabe Gou up tightly.
The way Yamamoto Chunai tied the knots was very unique, making Watanabe Gou lie face down, pulling his arms backward, twisting his legs in the opposite direction, and finally binding his hands and feet together. This unusual way of tying left Xiao Lin Zhengyan in awe, resembling more of an art form.
"Miss Yamamoto, where... where did you learn this?" Xiao Lin Zhengyan asked, wide-eyed with amazement.
"A friend taught me, it’s hard to break free from this." Yamamoto Chunai’s face reddened slightly, as if there was some unspeakable secret, "Alright, let’s not talk about this, please lend a hand, let’s carry him out."
Yamamoto Chunai certainly wouldn’t say that she learned this tying method at the "Drunken Hand Feather" store, where some customers had very demanding requests, and mere slapping wouldn’t satisfy them.
They would request to be tied up first with this special knotting method, and then be hung up.
As the staff slapped them, they would spin in the air due to the ropes, combined with tailored insults, it was considered top-level enjoyment, the store’s signature service.
Only a very few VIPs were eligible for such customized service, so it was normal for someone like Xiao Lin Zhengyan not to know about it.
Yamamoto Chunai didn’t want to explain, as it was indeed a bit shameful.
Watanabe Gou was a robust man, and even with the two of them working together, lifting him was quite taxing. They decided to throw him into a storage room at the end of the fourth-floor corridor downstairs.
This storage room was long abandoned and in a remote location, with no one around. As long as Watanabe Gou was tied up securely, with his mouth blocked and the door locked, in time, the Ghost in the Nightmare World would naturally take care of this shameless guy for them.
Although this wasn’t exactly stabbing a teammate in the back, Watanabe Gou was indeed the one chosen tonight. But doing something like this for the first time was still a big challenge for both Xiao Lin Zhengyan and Yamamoto Chunai, especially with the psychological pressure.
Seeing Yamamoto Chunai’s nervousness, Xiao Lin Zhengyan comforted her, "Miss Yamamoto, don’t overthink it, his current plight is none of our concern; he brought it upon himself."
"If he hadn’t come here tonight, he would have died anyway. In fact, he’s the one who endangered us; this beast is trying to transfer disaster onto us." As Xiao Lin Zhengyan spoke, his tone grew more resolute, as these were undeniable truths.
In the Nightmare World, blind kindness was not an option, it would only harm oneself. That’s why Watanabe Gou targeted them as newcomers; newcomers were the easiest to manipulate.
Just as the two of them were dragging him downstairs, they heard footsteps of someone coming up.
There was no time to carry Watanabe Gou and hide anymore. Xiao Lin Zhengyan had an idea and placed Watanabe Gou in the corner, covering him with his own clothes and crouching down to create the appearance of looking after a drunk friend.
The footsteps grew nearer, and the two people who appeared left Xiao Lin Zhengyan and Yamamoto Chunai taken aback.
"What are you doing here?" Leading the way was architect Yandeta Chiyoda, followed by her team’s photographer Hirano Yuuhi.
The two teams collided, startling each other.
"Senior Sister Yuanda, what brings you here?" Yamamoto Chunai had a general impression of Yandeta Chiyoda, mainly because she was too harsh on Yang Xiao and Takagi Reina.
Yandeta Chiyoda, with her sharp eyes, didn’t need an explanation. Just by seeing the injury on Xiao Lin Zhengyan’s face and the unconscious Watanabe Gou tied up like a dead pig, she had already guessed what had happened before.
Watanabe Gou showing up here didn’t surprise her at all, but the fact that two newcomers could handle him was unexpected.
"Untie him and wake him up." Yandeta Chiyoda ordered.
The next moment, Hirano Yuuhi pulled a fruit knife and a chilled bottle of mineral water from her handbag.
But this scene shocked Xiao Lin Zhengyan, who immediately stood up to stop her, "Senior Sister Yuanda, we can’t let him go, he came here tonight intending to sacrifice the two of us as Substitute Deaths. The injury on me is from him!"
