The Heartthrob Protagonist Just Wants To Monopolize Me Chapter 39.2

Ji Mingxia listened with some difficulty, only understanding that there was a stupid human being who had been crushed by the intelligence of the academic tyrant. Not only had Yu Ning managed to dig out useful information about Song Yuelin with the help of the monster, but he had also used Song Yuelin to test the monster’s way of slaughter.

There were just two more points that Ji Mingxia didn’t quite understand.

“This box of knives was his killing tool, right? He was fiddling with them earlier, so was he planning to attack you? If the ghost is not interested in us, why would he want to kill you? Isn’t it good to have one more partner.” Ji Mingxia couldn’t help but say.

After all, in this crisis-ridden forest, staying alive was the most fundamental need for people.

Yu Ning said, “Since you had disappeared, it proved that your life could be exchanged for one day, which is equivalent to more lives and more life saving charms. The fact that Song Yuelin killed his companion shows that he doesn’t believe in humanity and believes in himself more. In that situation, only my death would benefit him.”

Yu Ning glanced at the trunk, “Moreover, the corpse has been stored for two days and has already decomposed. Song Yuelin is a food expert, he treated the meat from Zhou Li’s thigh area and he could continue to be eat it up to now, but based on the condition of the corpse, he didn’t cut off much meat, and after two days of eating, he must have been running out of stock.”

Ji Mingxia shuddered involuntarily, “Not only did he want to kill you, but he also wanted to eat you?!”

Ji Mingxia thought for a moment and couldn’t help but ask, “Then did he use Zhou Li’s corpse to attract the ghost’s attention and then managed to escape?”

“Mm.” Yu Ning nodded.

The monster’s target was only those seven people, so even though Zhou Li had turned into a corpse, the monster still stopped in its tracks in the face of its near prey, giving Song Yuelin the chance to escape.

Song Yuelin had been in this area for four or five days and was already very familiar with the terrain. It was only a matter of minutes before he was completely out of sight.

After this incident, Song Yuelin would take Yu Ning as a difficult person to deal with, and he would definitely avoid Yu Ning as long as he was sane.

Ji Mingxia said, “I still have one last question that I can’t figure out. Today is the fifth day, plus Zhou Li, a total of four people have died. That means that the ghost mass hunted on one night. What then, will this game of hide-and-seek end on the seventh day, or will it go on until it has finished killing them?”

Yu Ning said, “All this can be known only when we find the two remaining people.”

The monster hunts people every night.

If Song Yuelin didn’t dare to look for Yu Ning, he could only find those two remaining people if he wanted to live, and use them as scapegoats or reserve food.

Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning, on the other hand, were not targets of the monster and would not be actively sought out by the monster. But with Song Yuelin’s disappearance, they had completely lost their clues.

Therefore, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning also had to find the remaining two.

Yu Ning told Yu Ning what he had concluded from looking inside the commercial car: “There are two more people, Meng Xinyi, the beauty blogger, and Bao Guangyuan, a pet blogger. The boundary starts from the edge of the forest and covers several famous spots around here. There are several places that are suitable for people to hide so we can look in that direction.”

Ji Mingxia was a little uncertain, “Yu Ning, can you find your way?”

Ji Mingxia’s ability to recognize directions was at the level of an ordinary person, and he had to check the map and road signs to find his way.

The scenery in the forest was similar and it was easy to get lost in it. Ji Mingxia would be lucky if he didn’t get lost, not to mention finding someone.

Yu Ning said, “I know the geological structure, the natural landscape and the general direction of the area, so I’ll try my best.”

Ji Mingxia looked at him in surprise, “You even know that, huh?”

“The attractions near the forest and the resort are the same promotional selling point, it’s all in the hotel’s promotional brochures.” Yu Ning said. Something seemed to occur to him, and looked away from Ji Mingxia.

“The promotional brochure for the Quanzhuang Hotel?” Ji Mingxia froze for a moment, then suddenly remembered and said, “It’s the book you always read when I’m sleeping, ah. So you were ready then, waiting for it to be put to use now ……”

Ji Mingxia once again shouted in his heart, worthy of being an academic tyrant! Worthy of being the protagonist!

Look at how he goes through the scenario! So well-prepared, how can someone not praise such a meticulous and attentive person ah.

Ji Mingxia’s adoring gaze caused the expression on Yu Ning’s face to become more and more unnatural: “I couldn’t sleep, so I just read casually…”

“Huh?” Ji Mingxia was even more surprised.

Thinking back on the past few days at the resort, he had slept well, not to mention how sweet it was.

After all, although the resort was weird, the environment was really nice, they had just come out of the high school dormitory and even got a couple’s room. It was impossible to be uncomfortable with such a luxurious treatment.

He thought Yu Ning was just like him, but now Yu Ning was telling him that he couldn’t sleep well?

“Why couldn’t you sleep, was it because of the bronze mirror? Or was it…… sleeping with me and I disturbed you?” Ji Mingxia couldn’t help but suddenly get a little worried, “I slept so well those days, did I sleep too heavily and did something?”

He thought that since he and Yu Ning had shared a dormitory, they had long since gotten used to each other’s sleeping habits, so he had never worried about this issue.

But on second thought, he had slept so comfortably those few days that he might have moved a bit more and affected Yu Ning.

“We’ll have to stay at the hotel for one more night after leaving the forest. Perhaps we should change to two single rooms.” Ji Mingxia suggested.

“No, you’re a very good sleeper.” Yu Ning suddenly spoke loudly.

Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning, and found that Yu Ning was looking at him, “I like to see you sleeping, I feel at ease when I’m with you.”

They looked at each other, and the redness of Yu Ning’s ears spread all the way to the roots of his ears. Even in this dark night, through the not-so-bright light of the torch, one could see that his face looked much better than usual because of the slight flush.

The faint light reflected on his face and back into his pupils. When Yu Ning looked at Ji Mingxia, his eyes were extraordinarily clear, like a stream in the forest.

“I’ll go and set up the tent for you.” Yu Ning said, and without waiting for Ji Mingxia’s response, immediately turned around and walked to the side.

Ji Mingxia watched in a daze as Yu Ning walked away for several seconds before gradually coming back to his senses, ‘Strange, why did I just wander off and stare at Yu Ning’s face for a long time ……’

He touched his cheek and found that it was also a little hot. Other than that, there was no other abnormality. Perhaps it was because he had mistakenly thought that he had slept badly and had annoyed Yu Ning by making noise.

Because he had inexplicably fallen into some kind of emotion and was staring at Yu Ning’s face lost in thought, it led to Ji Mingxia not even hearing what Yu Ning had said.

Yu Ning had already set up his tent, so Ji Mingxia couldn’t go up to him and ask him about it. He took his things and sorted them out, preparing for his first camp tonight.

During this period, Ji Mingxia was a little distracted and, without noticing, accidentally walked to the trunk of the car and saw Zhou Li’s corpse once again.

He was caught off guard and was so scared that he almost had a heart attack.

The embarrassment and confusion in his heart was all gone.

Although he wondered why he had suddenly been compelled by Yu Ning’s face, he was now in danger and there was a dead woman not far away. Ji Mingxia’s mind instantly cleared up and he forgot all those issues.

The tent they brought was from the hotel and it was also a couple’s model. Not only was it simple and lightweight, the two tents could either be combined into one two-person tent or separated into two single tents.

Although Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning had stayed in the same room, they each slept in their own beds and were not used to sleeping together, so they ended up with two simple single tents.

For security reasons, the two single tents were placed next to each other, so that if one of them moved, the other could quickly sense it.

Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning had planned to bury Zhou Li in the ground before they went to bed but after trying for a while, they found that it was very difficult.

Zhou Li had been dead for a long time, and as her body had been cut up, the corpse was so decomposed that any slight movement made the flesh fall off, and blood and pus flowed out, making it difficult to move.

Song Yuelin had previously made the trunk completely closed to store Zhou Li’s remains and to block out that corpse odour.

But in a way, the trunk, which had been modified to be completely closed, could also be used as Zhou Li’s coffin.

Yu Ning covered Zhou Li with a black cloth and closed the trunk, leaving Zhou Li to rest in peace inside.

By the time the tent had been pitched, it was already around 9pm.

The night had only just begun in the city, but it was pitch black in the forest, and completely dark at the moment.

Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning were at the edge of a deep forest, so they didn’t have to worry about wild animals, but they were in the middle of an empty, dark forest, with a monster that appeared regularly, a food blogger who was a cannibal, and the body of a woman not far away ……

Such an environment was much more frightening than Ji Mingxia had initially anticipated.

He even felt that if he could fall asleep in such an environment, nothing would ever be too difficult for him again.

He thought that he would lose sleep for the rest of the night, but when he closed his eyes and thought that Yu Ning was less than half a metre away, Ji Mingxia, who was tired from what happened during the day, quickly fell into a deep sleep.

By the time he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn and the night had passed.

After eating breakfast together, the two packed their gear and headed deeper into the forest.

On the way, the two of them got along as usual. Perhaps it was an aftermath of yesterday’s incident, Ji Mingxia couldn’t help but look at Yu Ning’s face as they walked.

Yu Ning was still the same, but compared to last night, he felt that something was missing.

He didn’t look as good as last night, and his eyes didn’t look as bright as last night. So what exactly had Yu Ning said last night……?

“Mingxia.” Ji Mingxia suddenly heard Yu Ning call his name.

Ji Mingxia jerked back to his senses, “Huh?”

“Are you tired?” Yu Ning asked.

“I …… am a little tired.” Seeing Yu Ning looking at him, Ji Mingxia was afraid that Yu Ning would notice his distraction, so he nodded obediently.

“If you’re tired, there’s a place ahead that we can rest at.” Yu Ning said. He lowered his eyes and averted his gaze, hiding his eyes that showed his good mood.

“Okay.” Ji Mingxia didn’t think much of it and nodded in agreement.

They walked forward for another half an hour or so and reached the border of the primeval forest. It was also one of the natural landscapes, and somewhere in an inconspicuous corner was a stone monument. It looked very plain and had vicissitudes of life as it had not been repaired for some years.

“Love Mountain Spring?” Ji Mingxia saw a stone monument and slowly read out the three words on it.

No sooner had he said the words than an abnormal crashing sound suddenly rang out from above.
