Mingchao: The Survival Journey of a Comedian

Chapter 55 I'll Hit Geshu?

Seeing the other person's obviously abnormal state, Yan Yan realized that this matter might be more serious than he had imagined.

It's highly likely that Zhang Yue is causing trouble again.

If it weren't for someone above him constantly keeping him in check, and if that kid hadn't been so adept at leaving no trace...

He had already found an opportunity to kick the other party out on the spot.

"Mo Wunian...!"

"That kid Zhang Yue tampered with the monster arrangements in the training camp! He's not just targeting me!"

"My student... has something to do over there too!"

Those around him realized that they couldn't let the other party see Zhang Yue under these circumstances, and they all tried to stop him from acting impulsively.

But if he wants to leave, no one can stop him.

He charged straight out of the encirclement, and those who tried to stop him were driven back by his icy gaze. As he ran, he felt his mind was a complete mess.

Trying to calm himself down, but finding it almost impossible, he sensed the frequencies around him and ran frantically towards the other testing location.

As luck would have it, Zhang Yue was standing right there, a triumphant smile on his face. That smile was like a sharp blade, piercing straight into his heart, making him feel suffocated.

Instantly, it felt as if an invisible force was tearing at his limbs, causing unbearable pain, and an uncontrollable killing intent spread throughout his body.

"Wait...you actually came out!"

"Wait a moment!!!"

He sprinted from a distance and kicked the other man against the wall. Blood quickly trickled from the man's mouth. He didn't hold back; the fact that the man was still alive meant he was well-fed and could take a beating.

"You... ugh..."

"Tell me! Which training ground is Ji Yan in? And what's his number?"

He grabbed the other person by the hair and lifted them up. His condition was already poor due to his medical talent; he was now struggling to suppress his urge to kill them.

"You actually laid a hand on me!!! That's a violation of military regulations!!!"

"You're finished..."

"Shh-"

The sword was drawn, leaving a line of blood on the opponent's neck. Zhang Yue didn't feel any pain at first, until he felt something warm flowing down his neck, and when he touched it, it was full of blood.

"Ah ah ah..."

"Did you hear me? Tell me which training ground Ji Yan is in!"

Panic! Zhang Yue was completely panicked. He truly hadn't expected the person in front of him to be so insane. He actually intended to kill him right there in the military camp!

The fear of death made him quickly confess everything; his eyes were filled with uncontrollable terror.

"Seven...seven...over there I...I bribed someone...modified the data...and blocked their view so no one else would notice..."

"I only released two... I didn't intend for them to die... I just... wanted them to..."

"Hero, spare my life!!!"

Two colossal afterimages... Upon hearing this, he felt a wave of dizziness, and his sword nearly fell to the ground.

Although Ji Yan is a Resonator and quite clever, the simulation training ground is enclosed! The small space is simply not enough for the opponent to hide in...

You'd better be glad he's alright.

"I've already violated military regulations; I don't recommend making it any bigger!"

Finding his way, he arrived at the entrance of Training Ground No. 7. Just as he raised his sword to chop down the door, a loud noise came from the other side, almost making him lose his footing.

He looked up, intending to continue what he hadn't finished, but the door was suddenly flung open, and he saw a figure in blue rush out—

She threw herself into his arms.

"Avoid fire!"

He held the other person in his arms, his body trembling slightly, and checked repeatedly for injuries. Fortunately, apart from some minor abrasions, he saw almost no major wounds.

Relieved, he used his talent to perform a simple heal and looked towards the other side of the door. He saw two monsters lying on the ground in the simulation training camp, their wounds not resembling those of someone Ji Yan's age.

It seems they're trying to lure the two monsters into fighting each other.

"Teacher, I'm fine, but what happened?"

"I remember this wasn't the case when I was tested back then..."

Ji Yan felt almost suffocated as he was held tightly in the other's arms. He looked up and saw those eyes, which were already glistening with tears.

"teacher……?"

"Some beast is trying to harm you... I won't let him get away with it."

"Now you should try your best to distance yourself from me; I've already done some things I shouldn't have done."

"What's the meaning?!"

He gently placed the person in his arms on the ground, gazing into their eyes filled with shock and confusion. He lightly patted their head, then turned to leave, only to feel his sleeve being gripped tightly, the force no less than when he had gripped his own earlier.

"What exactly happened to the teacher?!"

Why should I sever ties with you?!

"..."

He could sense someone was approaching, and his first thought was to keep it a secret from them, but after thinking it over, he sighed.

"Someone is trying to take your place. They have no real ability, they just want to use connections to skim off the top."

"So he wanted to make a move on you, but I caught him in the act."

"I taught him a lesson, but I didn't expect him to still hit you... It was my mistake that I didn't strike hard enough."

"I've already violated military regulations by doing this, but I won't let it involve you."

Your future cannot stop here.

They pulled the other person's hand away. By this time, most of the people had arrived. Looking at the messy scene, no one said anything, but they all seemed to understand what was going on.

Yan Yan frowned as he watched Zhang Yue, who had calmed down and was now looking at Mo Wunian with a provocative and manic expression.

"Coach Yan Yan! Now you see it clearly!"

"He attacked me first! This wound on my neck is the best proof!"

"He even interfered with the test...the door was smashed..."

The familiar tactic of the villain accusing first escalating the conflict occurred, but he couldn't refute it, because he had indeed struck first, which could be considered as interfering with the test.

"Ha, you didn't say a word about all the shady things you did?"

Pushing Ji Yan into the crowd, he gripped his sword tightly, staring at the still arrogant man before him, racking his brains for evidence to refute his claims.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't make false accusations!"

"Do you have any evidence? What evidence do you have to prove that what you're saying is true?!"

"You don't have it, but I do!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yue laughed even harder, almost completely forgetting the hurt he had suffered not long ago, and stood in front of him, laughing back.

"Come on, come on! Tell me where you can find the evidence, and I'll go find it for you."

"Do you have any evidence that I did it? You don't!"

"But everyone present witnessed you taking action..."

"Fighting is forbidden in the barracks, and harming comrades is also prohibited... This rule is very important!"

Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale... I closed my eyes, covered my head, and realized that I truly had no evidence.

All the surveillance footage and data were deleted by the other party. The only remaining surveillance footage, while supposedly showing the other party's motive, also provided evidence of their actions.

It even implicated Beiwang.

"..."

Why don't we just kill him now? What if he tries to harm Ji Huo Huo later?

He was truly trying his best to suppress his murderous intent, but when he opened his eyes and saw the shocked yet wary looks in the eyes of those around him, he knew he hadn't succeeded.

"…Mo Wunian, we will investigate this matter."

"However, you did violate military regulations... and you need to stop and accept punishment."

"The rules cannot be violated."

Yan Yan knew in his heart that this matter was mostly not the other party's fault, but it was that person's fault for making the matter too big: it was clear that the person in front of him had indeed intended to kill.

The investigation should uncover something, but with pressure from above, it's unlikely any severe punishment will be imposed.

Yan Yan couldn't help but shake his head at this thought, and felt a pang of guilt as he looked at Mo Wunian, who had gradually calmed down.

I have no comment.

I'll take full responsibility for this...

He had laid down his weapon, though he was still reluctant, but he had no choice but to do so in order not to implicate the other two.

"That's not true! He only argued with the other person because of me!"

"I bear some responsibility for this!"

The sound almost made him faint and collapse to the ground. Watching Ji Yan struggle through the crowd and rush to his side, he felt a mix of wanting to cry and laughing.

I'm so stupid, you're so fiery! Why are you causing trouble at this crucial moment?!

Ji Yan didn't care about any of that. She struggled free from the crowd and stood firmly beside Mo Wunian. She stared intently at him, gripping his hand tightly, as if afraid of losing him again.

"Go back! This has absolutely nothing to do with you!"

"No! It's all because of me! It's because I took the other person's seat that you had to take action, teacher!"

"The source of all this..." is me.

"That's right! This kid is his guardian! If his guardian has this kind of personality, what kind of person will the one he vouches for be!"

"She was only 10 years old when she entered the medical department. Doesn't anyone have any doubts?!"

Seeing this, Zhang Yue quickly spoke up. He hadn't expected the two of them to deliver a double kill, and he was now more excited than anyone else, as if he were about to transform into a monkey and swing on a swing.

Without evidence, he is invincible!

Although those around him didn't quite believe what the man said, they had to nod in agreement when they saw the 10-year-old child in front of them.

"Indeed...that child is only ten years old..."

"But I heard from Beiwang that this child is quite smart... and he was indeed a great help when he went to the front lines..."

"Aren't there adults there...? Besides, 14 is the official age to join the camp..."

It's over, completely over! I should have known better than to hold back. Being soft-hearted means you'll be bullied! If he makes a move now, it will really drag the other party down with him.

Seeing Ji Yan's unwavering resolve, he felt a mixture of disappointment and warmth: after all, this was the first time someone had stood steadfastly by his side.

"If you're talking about evidence... there is indeed a surveillance video showing you had a motive."

"Although the fact that he took action cannot be denied..."

"But trying to get involved in the medical field will be a real headache for you."

Another voice came from behind the crowd. Bei Wang slowly squeezed through the crowd and arrived at the center of the standoff.

With a furrowed brow, he watched Zhang Yue's sudden lapse in concentration and slowly took out the surveillance video that he had already prepared.

"Coach Yan Yan, this matter might be a little more complicated than we imagined."

"While I admit that Mo Wunian did violate the rules, it was due to his excessive concern for his contractual partner in an emergency."

"In comparison, I think it's more important to address the medical aspect."

"You're right..."

"Zhang Yue!"

Unexpectedly, even in this situation, some sucker jumped out to try and save him. Looking at Ji Yan, who was still standing firmly in front of him, and then at Bei Wang, who was about to play the surveillance footage, he felt as if his mindset had been changed by something.

"Hey...shouldn't you treat my wound first?!"

"Ah...I'm going to die, I'm going to die..."

Unfortunately, no one at the scene paid any attention to the man's antics, and he, frantic with worry, struggled to reach out and try to stop Beiwang from playing the surveillance footage. However, it was all in vain. He only saw the man quietly turn around, his eyes meeting his for a moment, then he nodded slightly, his lips silently conveying a few words.

You can't shoulder this alone.

Ugh!!! I can handle this all by myself, why do I have to drag the two of you into this?!

He closed his eyes, not wanting to see what would happen next, but just then he stopped hearing the monitor's playback, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet. He only felt the air pressure rising, a strong sense of oppression appearing:

That's the frequency he sensed that was also what it told him.

"No need"

"The charges against the Zhang family for embezzlement, bribery, and misappropriation of frontline supplies, which affected combat operations, have been confirmed."

"This kind of flimsy evidence..."

"Take it back as soon as possible."

Opening his eyes, he met a pair of icy, golden pupils.

At this time, Ge Shulin appeared much younger than he would be later, but the imposing aura he exuded was completely different from what he would later possess; the moment he appeared, no one dared to utter a sound.

The black knife slung on his back still showed faint traces of blood, and the extremely cold expression on his face indicated that he was in a bad mood.

"General Geshu... what does this mean...?"

Faced with such an absolute powerhouse, Zhang Yue instantly deflated like a shriveled eggplant, his eyes filled with a mixture of panic and obsequiousness as he looked at the other party.

"Take it down"

Without any chance to resist, Zhang Yue's legs instantly gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, too weak to even plead for mercy. He was quickly dragged away by Ge Shulin's men.

Not a single voice of opposition was uttered.

"..."

A deathly silence fell over the scene. Everyone quickly lined up, not daring to make the slightest move or even breathe.

He stared blankly at this complete stranger. Although the face still looked very familiar, he knew that the person was not the one he knew.

It was that general... who had never lost a battle, whose arrogance was to the core, and who almost always looked down on the weak.

Sensing that Ge Shulin's gaze was gradually shifting to the person in front of him, he subconsciously pushed Ji Yan behind him.

Of course, the price for this action was that the other party turned their attention to him.

"...I know you"

"One of the only two remaining on the northern defense line"

"You don't find it disgusting to lay a hand on such trash?"

"?"

His first words nearly overheated his CPU. Before he could even utter a word, he saw the other person plunge their black sword into the ground, their long, silver-white hair cascading down their back, staring directly at him.

"I'll tentatively acknowledge your performance on the front lines."

"so……"

"Let's have a match!"

Others: !

Looking north: ! !

Avoid flames: !!!

Mo Wunian: ?

What did you say? I hit Geshu?

It’s guaranteed to kill you!
