Chapter 493 A Chess Piece

"Fuck you, Chu Xuan!"

When the Lord's reminder sounded in the ears of every member of the Zhongzhou team, Yang Yun, who had just landed on the sea surface from the plane and was about to complete the task assigned by Chu Xuan, immediately cursed loudly... But after cursing, Yang Yun felt a strange sense of security, as if the stone in his heart had finally fallen.

Should he curse? Of course he should. From Yang Yun's point of view, Chu Xuan wanted to trigger the plot of Pacific Rim II in advance, maximize the difficulty coefficient of the Lord's mission, and thus brush a wave of fierce. And after the three-fold increase, the A-level branch plot reward for the whole team, which has never appeared in "Infinite Horror", also proved that this plan has indeed achieved corresponding results.

——But why did he deliberately send me away? If he told me clearly from the beginning, I would not object, but would help him persuade Zheng Zha. After all, triggering the main plot of the sequel in advance at least doubles the reward, and judging from the difficulty shown in this world, we can completely handle it with our current strength.

——Is there anything else I didn't expect?

After a brief shock, Yang Yun began to think quickly. He couldn't find a reason why Chu Xuan had to hide it from him, unless this guy was deliberately setting up a plan... Oh, Luo Gandao!

After thinking about it, Yang Yun could only think of one possibility, that damn Chu Xuan was taking this opportunity to test Luo Gandao. Although it might not be a test of people's hearts, Chu Xuan, who obviously trusted his own judgment more, had ten thousand ways to verify whether Luo Gandao could really integrate into the Zhongzhou team. He also knew that if Yang Yun was still in the Broken Dome, his test would inevitably be constrained by many things... Damn, I actually forgot this!

When Yang Yun figured it out, the communicator in his arms rang. Facing the call that must be from Chu Xuan, Yang Yun was furious. He pressed the answer button and said fiercely to the young man with glasses who appeared on the screen: "I ask you, Chu Xuan, did you send me out just to test Luo Gandao?"

"It seems that you have figured it out, but before you left, I specifically promised you that I would not test people's hearts, so this time, I tested his desire to survive."

Facing Yang Yun's angry words, Chu Xuan on the other side of the screen said calmly: "You think Luo Gandao can withstand the test. I just brought Luo Gandao to the prototype mecha, and then threw him a T virus solution, asking him if he dared to risk death and ride on Gundam to fight monsters, that's all."

"If you really value Luo Gandao so much, and believe that he will change a little after what you said, then you should also believe that he dares to stand up and take responsibility when faced with a choice and do what he should do."

Speaking of this, Chu Xuan pushed his glasses: "If he is really suitable for the main god space and the Zhongzhou team, then Then he will make the right decision... Or do you not even have this trust in Luo Gandao?"

"Of course I trust Luo Gandao, and I also trust my own judgment of people."

Yang Yun spat fiercely: "Chu Xuan, you don't have to use these words to squeeze me. Since you have turned these things into established facts, I am too lazy to ask you where you got the prototype mecha from, and why you want to test him in such a roundabout way... Anyway, if Luo Gandao really shrank and failed your test, your rhetoric would definitely be different now."

"I will talk to you about the settlement when I return to the main god space. Now I only ask you one thing, how many points can you give Luo Gandao's performance?"

"Eighty points, it is considered a pass."

Chu Xuan lightly passed over Luo Gandao's matter: "But the problem facing us now is how to complete the main god's task within three hours and return to the main god space."

Speaking, Chu Xuan stepped aside so that Yang Yun could see the void projection behind him through the communicator.

The scene shown in the projection is a dark red crack that has completely formed above the Broken Dome Base. There are irregular cracks on both ends of this "crack", spreading in all directions, solidifying in the air for a long time without dissipating, as if it was chopped directly by a huge invisible blade. The irregular light flow is surrounded by black clouds and lightning in the air, and it keeps flowing in the void, faintly reflecting another world behind.

A dark red, dying, and destroyed world.

"As you can see, there are two 'cracks' now, and we have to deal with them completely within three hours."

After leaving enough time for Yang Yun to see the scene on the screen clearly, Chu Xuan returned to his original posture and looked at Yang Yun: "Three hours is a short time. Zheng Zha and I will be responsible for dealing with this side, and you alone will be responsible for dealing with the initial seabed crack."

"So you have already figured out how to close the 'crack'?" Yang Yun shook the Feng Shui compass in his hand unhappily: "Or, your action of asking me to collect data is itself an excuse to send me out so that you can test Luo Gandao?"

Chu Xuan shook his head and denied Yang Yun's guess: "That's not the case. It's just that the second crack allowed me to collect enough data, so naturally I omitted the step of you sending the data back to me."

"Okay, anyway, it's over now, you have the final say."

Yang Yun took a deep breath. He had made up his mind that he would beat Chu Xuan severely when he returned to the main god space: "Tell me all your plans. Since you are the one who triggered the plot of Pacific Rim Part 2, you must have made all the preparations... Tell me, what do you want me to do specifically?"

If it was the usual Chu Xuan, after Yang Yun said this, he would probably push his glasses, then confidently tell his analysis, and arrange everything in an orderly manner... But what Yang Yun did not expect was that after he said these words, Chu Xuan's answer was speechless silence.

"What do you mean, Chu Xuan?"

Faced with Chu Xuan's uncharacteristic behavior, Yang Yun couldn't help but frown, and a bad premonition surged in his heart: "Don't tell me you don't have a plan for the next step. Even for you, this kind of cold joke is not funny..."

"You are wrong about one thing. The plot of Pacific Rim Part 2 this time was not triggered by me. The person who really triggered this branch plot is the newcomer who just entered the horror movie this time, Xie Luyin."

In Yang Yun's shocked eyes, Chu Xuan said something he didn't expect at all: "And Xie Luyin is a chess piece that Adam planted in the Zhongzhou team."
