Chapter 355: Chapter 276 Concerns

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Huaxin also frowned.

"Have they found out?" The North Korean soldier was somewhat surprised, "It’s true that we were prepared for the exposure of certain information but I didn’t expect your ability to be exposed as well, especially since you hadn’t really shown it, had you?"

"..." Wen Huaxin’s expression darkened as he asked his teammate, "What’s the situation on their end? How did they deduce it?"

"Not... It’s not certain that they know," their teammate pondered before adding, "They claim to have guessed it, but whether they have truly figured it out is uncertain; after all, they had realized someone was surveilling them, so they used methods to cut off the sound, and furthermore..."

He paused, blinked, and then continued,

"We still don’t even know what your ability is, do we? You’ve never truly told us."

"...Hmm? Isn’t his ability just to accelerate thought processes? Even if it’s been exposed, there’s nothing much to say, right?" said the North Korean soldier.

"You..." their teammate looked helplessly at the North Korean soldier, "You don’t really think his ability is that simple, do you?"

"...Ah?" The North Korean soldier belatedly realized, "Was I deceived?... Damn! I’ve been too careless!"

The North Korean soldier was instantly filled with regret, but by now it was too late to get off this ’thieves’ ship’.

Moreover, the interests of the three were now bound together, and at this point, throwing a tantrum and refusing to cooperate would be meaningless. In fact, doing so would only drive oneself closer to the abyss of death.

"..." The North Korean soldier took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and said to Wen Huaxin, "You... you’ve hidden your ability because there are reasons it can’t be exposed, right? Well, as long as the mission is successful and the country is protected from the intrusion of Analog Horror, it doesn’t matter to me if I’ve been deceived... Are you listening to me?"

"..."

Wen Huaxin didn’t pay any attention to him, or rather, he ignored everyone, immersing himself in his own world... He seemed to be closing his eyes, lost in thought.

Seeing this, the other two didn’t say much, simply waiting silently. They knew that once Wen Huaxin entered this state, nothing could draw his attention.

But this didn’t bother them because they knew that whenever Wen Huaxin entered this state that seemed like deep contemplation, he always came up with the most suitable strategies and commands.

After a while, Wen Huaxin opened his eyes.

"How is it?" the other two asked.

"Ah..." Wen Huaxin let out a long breath and said, "Don’t worry, my ability has not been exposed."

"...Really?" The two exchanged glances, then asked together, "How do you know that they don’t know about your ability?"

"I’ve just tried to recall," Wen Huaxin began, "and then I realized that I had not taken any action that would expose my ability."

"..." The two looked at each other, speechless.

"It seems you don’t quite believe me," Wen Huaxin remarked, sensing their skepticism from their expressions.

"Not... How should I put it," said the North Korean soldier, "I can believe you on other matters without a shred of doubt, but with this one... After all, you don’t have the Mind Reading Technique, you don’t know exactly what they said, and you’re unaware of their thoughts. They might have indeed deduced it from the slightest of clues. To say it isn’t exposed just based on memory... we should plan on the premise that your ability has been exposed."

"There’s no need for that," Wen Huaxin shook his head, speaking with conviction, "My ability has definitely not been exposed, and I can at least be sure of one thing, that at the end of a month, we will undoubtedly have the most Cores! We will certainly win!"

Seeing Wen Huaxin so self-assured and certain, the other two felt it impossible to argue any further.

"If your ability hasn’t been discovered then, it also means that they actually haven’t guessed what your ability is, they’ve just arrogantly guessed wrong," his teammate then said.

"There’s another possibility," Wen Huaxin mentioned, "They know we’re watching them, so they staged this act deliberately to confuse us, to instill fear in us, making us hesitant to strike against them."

"I see, they’ve played that card too," the North Korean soldier nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "So, given that, do we still continue to leave them alone?"

"Yes," Wen Huaxin nodded, "Even without this act, they still pose a great threat. For us, being directly hostile to them carries too much risk, and the rewards are too little. All we need to ensure is that we have more Cores than them at the last moment. However..."

Wen Huaxin paused, deep in thought again.

"After thinking it over, it still feels unstable. Even I can’t guarantee that they won’t pull off some unexpected action that catches me off guard. To be cautious, we should still try to weaken their power."

"Weaken?" The two immediately understood Wen Huaxin’s implication, "You mean, kill one of them?"

"Exactly," Wen Huaxin nodded, continuing, "Xiao Yi goes without saying, he is the most troublesome enemy; let go of the idea of killing him for now. The woman Fei Ye is the same, with her deep concealment, I still cannot see through her, it’s too dangerous, thus... there’s only one target left."

The two, understanding, immediately mentioned that name.
