Chapter 91: Victory Amidst Chaos

 

(A large truck is coming towards you.)

(You don't back down and instead, rush towards the truck.)

(You hear a loud crash.)

(A black sedan collides with the front of the truck, stopping it.)

(Mr.
Rat jumps out of the car and comes straight towards you.)

(You crawl under the bottom of the truck and continue running ahead.)

(The collision between the truck and the sedan blocked all three lanes, and the Cat and Rat couple's car can't move either.)

(You're in the middle of the road, completely ignoring the nearby traffic.)

(Traffic is in chaos because of you.)

(You run across an intersection and glance back.)

(Miss Cat also jumps out of the car and starts chasing you on foot.)

(You keep running, pass through an underground tunnel, and arrive at the riverbank.)

(The Cat and Rat couple are close behind.)

(You flip and jump into the river, floating downstream.)

(Mr.
Rat also follows and jumps in after you.)

(You take out a small knife and cut your wrist, letting fresh blood flow.)

(Mr.
Rat freezes in place.)

(You: If you follow me, I'll cut my throat.)

(Mr.
Rat: Do you want to die? I'll grant your wish!)

(You grip the knife in reverse and stab your own chin.)

(Mr.
Rat looks terrified and raises his hands.)

(Mr.
Rat: “Calm down! Let's talk, but please don't do anything foolish again!”)

(You float under the bridge, looking up.)

(Miss Cat is standing by the bridge, afraid to come down.
Cats fear water, so only Mr.
Rat chased after you.)

(You continue floating downstream.)

(You've lost a lot of blood, and your vision becomes blurry.)

(You pretend to faint, floating on your back on the water's surface.)

(Mr.
Rat quickly swims to your side.)

(You make a move from underwater and stab the small knife into Mr.
Rat's chest.)

(Mr.
Rat screams in pain.)

(You forcefully twist your wrist, enlarging the wound.)

(Mr.
Rat instinctively releases countless mice, but they are ineffective in the water.)

(Mr.
Rat gradually stops struggling.)

(You push Mr.
Rat away and swim to the shore.)

(You take out bandages and medicine from your backpack and quickly treat your own wounds.)

(You climb up the riverbank and continue running along the river.)

(You manage to temporarily shake off Miss Cat.)

(You hide in a nearby alley.)

(You stop the deduction!)

Feasible.

Gu Yi opened his eyes and silently leaned back in the chair.

His mother noticed him, “Son, you're awake.”

“Yeah.”

“What happened to you? How did you get so injured? Why didn't you answer our calls?”

“My phone was off.”

Gu Yi drooped his head and leaned against the window, secretly taking out the small knife from his backpack.

The car stopped at an intersection.

Through the rearview mirror, his father glanced at his son and whispered, “Son, you seem a bit off?”

“Cough, cough—”

“Should we take you to the hospital first?”

His father didn't know how to communicate with his child.
He looked at the traffic light and let go of the handbrake to prepare to drive.

Suddenly, his car's alarm went off, indicating that the rear door wasn't closed.

Immediately, he heard his wife scream.

His father quickly turned his head to look back, only to see his son had opened the car door and rushed into the fast-moving traffic.

“Come back quickly!”

His father shouted in shock.

Behind them, the Cat and Rat couple were also taken aback when they saw Gu Yi rush out of the car.

“Follow him quickly!”

“I know, don't rush me!”

Mr.
Rat stepped on the accelerator, completely disregarding the traffic behind him as he chased after Gu Yi.

Gu Yi was running ahead, and he slightly turned his head, giving Mr.
Rat a playful smile.

A large truck was coming towards Gu Yi.

Gu Yi didn't see the truck, and the driver didn't see Gu Yi!

“This kid has gone crazy!”

Mr.
Rat cursed loudly while stepping on the accelerator and honking the horn to alert the truck driver.

Gu Yi was about to be caught under the truck's wheels.

Mr.
Rat widened his eyes and forcefully turned the steering wheel, crashing into the side of the truck.

The airbags deployed.

The truck driver looked bewildered, he opened the car door, but Mr.
Rat had already jumped out of the car.

“You idiot, how do you drive?”

Mr.
Rat didn't even bother with the driver.
He looked down and saw that Gu Yi had already crawled under the truck and ran to the other side.

This kid was clearly looking to die, deliberately going where there were many cars.

The orderly intersection was now a complete mess.

“You little brat…”

Mr.
Rat got up from the ground, bypassed the truck driver, and chased after Gu Yi.

The driver was furious.

Miss Cat also jumped out of the car, and the driver relentlessly followed them, “Hey, aren't you going to be responsible? Don't run!”

“Get lost!”

Miss Cat slapped the driver in the face and turned to run.

The three of them chased each other.

Crossed the intersection.

Passed through an underground tunnel.

Headed straight to the bank of the moat.

Gu Yi put on his backpack and dived into the turbulent river.

Miss Cat held onto the railing, looking at the flowing water.

“Why…
why did he jump into the water?”

“I'll go after him!”

Mr.
Rat took off his coat and dived into the water.

Gu Yi was physically weak, and his swimming speed was not fast.
In a moment, Mr.
Rat reached Gu Yi.

“You little brat, stop right there!”

Gu Yi grinned and took out the small knife, cutting his wrist.

Mr.
Rat's eyes widened, and he froze in place.

Gu Yi held the knife against his own neck, “If you follow me, I'll cut my throat.”

Mr.
Rat's hands trembled uncontrollably.

Why is this kid so calm while saying such chilling words?

Did he somehow know something?

Regardless, he couldn't let him die here!

“Do you want to die? Then I'll grant your wish!”

Mr.
Rat moved his arm.

Gu Yi reversed the knife, stabbing his own chin, and stared coldly at Mr.
Rat with a faint smile still on his lips.

Mr.
Rat was completely frozen in place.

This kid actually knew the truth?

“Wait, I surrender!” Mr.
Rat raised his hands, “Don't be agitated! Let's talk, please don't do anything foolish again.”

Gu Yi sneered inwardly.

Unexpectedly, his acting was even better than during the deduction.
Mr.
Rat was visibly more nervous than the last time.

If he deceived him at this moment…

“All of this is fake, and you're fake too.
Everyone is fake.
Even if I die now…
I'll wake up in bed again tomorrow, right?”

“No, it's not like that.” Mr.
Rat shook his head, his gaze slightly evasive.
“Believe me, we won't harm you.
We want to help you.
Why did you run away?”

“I've seen you all there.”

“That was all a dream.
You've misunderstood, really.”

“I can't misunderstand.
You've tried to catch me multiple times.
Don't think I don't know what you're planning.”

Gu Yi had already obtained the answer he wanted.
He pretended to be weak, gradually lowering his voice, and slowly closed his eyes, floating on the surface of the river, facing the sky.

“Damn it!”

Mr.
Rat cursed inwardly and quickly swam to Gu Yi's side.
He hugged Gu Yi but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.
He looked at Gu Yi in surprise; the latter had a pale face, still wearing a faint smile.

“You've been deceived.”

Gu Yi squinted his eyes, grinned, and forcefully turned the blade of the knife.
