Chapter 598 The Simplest Game

"Captain Li, can I ask you something?" Director Zhou suddenly asked in a low voice.

Li Pangpang looked at Director Zhou with curiosity. Seeing his serious expression, he felt a pang of nervousness. What was he going to ask?

"Ask away."

"What realm is Deputy Director Yuan at now?" Director Zhou stared intently at Li Pangpang.

Li Pangpang was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected Director Zhou to ask this. Actually, he didn't know Yuan Mu Ye's current realm either.

Because Yuan Mu Ye was constantly improving, at a speed that no ordinary person could match or even guess.

Li Pangpang could sense that Yuan Mu Ye's strength had increased again recently.

"Director Zhou, I really don't know," Li Pangpang replied earnestly.

Director Zhou pursed his lips and said, "Aren't you and Deputy Director Yuan on good terms? How could you not know?"

"It's true that we're close, but Lao Yuan's progress is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. To be honest, when we were both in the Seventh Special Investigation Team, he was just as useless as I was. But now, you can see the difference between us. It's like heaven and earth," Li Pangpang said with a wry smile.

However, he was also grateful to have Yuan Mu Ye as a brother. Otherwise, he wouldn't have reached this point today, and might have died long ago.

Director Zhou looked at him thoughtfully, without saying a word.

"How about we play the simplest game?" Jiang Peng said with a grin.

Yuan Mu Ye was slightly taken aback, thinking that the simplest game was probably the most difficult. But he didn't say much, replying blandly, "Alright."

Jiang Peng chuckled, then raised his hand and waved it gently at the open space in front of him. Instantly, many mud figures appeared.

The mud figures were about the same height as normal people, and each one was exactly the same.

Yuan Mu Ye was a little surprised when he saw these mud figures. He didn't understand what game Jiang Peng wanted to play.

"How do you want to play?" Yuan Mu Ye looked at Jiang Peng with curiosity.

Jiang Peng chuckled, looking at him with icy eyes and saying, "In a moment, I'll turn them both into mud figures and put them in there as well. We'll each smash one. If you smash them, then you win. But if I smash them, then I win. This game is fair, right?"

The word "fair" almost made Yuan Mu Ye laugh. Where was the fairness in this game?

These mud figures were created by Jiang Peng. Who knew if he had tampered with them? If he had marked them, Yuan Mu Ye wouldn't be able to win.

Yuan Mu Ye looked at him with icy eyes and said, "How can you prove that you haven't tampered with those mud figures?"

"If you don't believe me, you can let them choose their own positions, and then you can reshape those mud figures," Jiang Peng said indifferently.

Yuan Mu Ye felt that this guy's intentions were more than just this. Even if he reshaped those mud figures, so what? He didn't create the mud figures. If he had marked them, Jiang Peng would still be able to recognize them at a glance.

But it seemed there was no better option now.

Just as Yuan Mu Ye was hesitating, Li Pangpang suddenly stepped forward and said, "Lao Yuan, I think this method is feasible."

Yuan Mu Ye sighed inwardly. On the surface, it did seem feasible, but in reality, Jiang Peng would still benefit.

Thinking of this, Yuan Mu Ye suddenly remembered something very important, which was that no matter whether he won or lost the game, he would kill Jiang Peng, because that was the task assigned by the system.

Damn it, how could he forget such an important thing?

In that case, Yuan Mu Ye didn't need to worry so much.

"Alright, I don't need to reshape those mud figures. I just need them to go in themselves."

Yuan Mu Ye said, looking at Jiang Peng.

Jiang Peng was also stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected this guy to agree so quickly. He thought he would argue for a while!

But this was good too. No need to argue.

"Then I'll start!"

Jiang Peng didn't hesitate at all, and directly turned Li Pangpang and Director Zhou into mud figures. Although they had become mud figures, they could still move.

Their current appearance was no different from those real mud figures. At first glance, you couldn't tell that they were alive.

"You two, go in yourselves!"

After saying that, Jiang Peng consciously turned around.

Li Pangpang patted Yuan Mu Ye on the shoulder and said, "Lao Yuan, I believe in you. You don't need to be too nervous."

"Mm." Yuan Mu Ye didn't say much, and then turned around.

After a moment, the two of them turned back together, looking at the hundreds of dark mud figures in front of them.

At this moment, they couldn't tell which two mud figures were Li Pangpang and Director Zhou.

"Do you want to start first, or should I?" Jiang Peng asked, looking at Yuan Mu Ye.

Yuan Mu Ye then took out a coin from his body, looked at him and said, "Let's decide by flipping a coin! Heads or tails, choose one. Whichever is up, goes first."

Jiang Peng was a little surprised, then chuckled and said, "Then I'll choose tails."

"Then I'll choose heads."

Yuan Mu Ye then threw the coin into the air, and then caught it with the back of his hand. The moment the coin landed on the back of his hand, he immediately covered it with his other hand.

At this moment, both of them were a little nervous, because the first move was very important.

Yuan Mu Ye slowly moved his other hand away. Seeing that the coin showed heads, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the heavens were still on his side.

Seeing heads, Jiang Peng was a little disappointed, but on the surface, he still pretended to be nonchalant.

"Since it's heads, then you go first!" Jiang Peng said blandly.

Yuan Mu Ye didn't stand on ceremony with him, and directly smashed the first mud figure. At the beginning, he was still relatively relaxed, because he knew that Li Pangpang and the others couldn't be standing so far in front. They were either standing in the middle, or standing at the very back. So he didn't need to think so much about smashing the mud figures in front.

In less than ten minutes, they had already smashed more than half of the mud figures in front of them.

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the remaining mud figures were smashed.

Jiang Peng suddenly became a little excited, looking at Yuan Mu Ye with a grin and saying, "Do you think you can save one of them, or can you save both of them, or can't you save any of them?"

Hearing this, Yuan Mu Ye couldn't help but give him a roll of his eyes.

"The game isn't over yet. What are you gloating about?"

He couldn't stand evil spirits gloating in front of him.

Jiang Peng grinned and said with a chuckle, "Because I feel like I've already won."

Chapter 599 Breaking His Word

Yuan Mu Ye looked at Jiang Peng speechlessly, without saying a word. He didn't want to say any nonsense at this time.

Soon, there were only twenty or thirty mud figures left.

Although Yuan Mu Ye knew that winning or losing the game wasn't important, he was still quite nervous at this moment.

One, two...

He smashed the mud figures in front, but he still didn't see Li Pangpang and Director Zhou.

Yuan Mu Ye himself felt a little strange, because there was only one last row of mud figures left.

There were only ten mud figures in the last row.

Yuan Mu Ye widened his eyes, feeling a little unbelievable. He didn't expect that the two of them would actually be standing in the last row. This was the real tense and exciting moment.

"I really didn't expect it. The two of them would actually be standing in the last row. Tsk tsk, so exciting!"

Jiang Peng said with a grin.

Yuan Mu Ye didn't say anything, because apart from feeling excited, he was more nervous.

He hadn't had this kind of feeling for a long time. Now that he suddenly had this kind of feeling, he was inexplicably nervous.

Jiang Peng looked at Yuan Mu Ye, who hadn't made a move for a long time, and reminded him, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and make a move!"

After Yuan Mu Ye came back to his senses, he didn't hesitate and directly smashed the mud figure in front of him.

Unsurprisingly, it wasn't the first one.

Jiang Peng quickly smashed the second mud figure, and it wasn't either.

"There are only eight mud figures left. Are you sure you don't want to consider giving up?" Jiang Peng looked at Yuan Mu Ye smugly.

Yuan Mu Ye couldn't stand his smug look, and said coldly, "I said just now, the game isn't over yet. Don't be smug."

After saying that, he smashed another mud figure, leaving seven.

Jiang Peng didn't hesitate even more, and followed suit, leaving six.

Among the six mud figures, two were living people.

Suddenly, Yuan Mu Ye turned to look at Jiang Peng and said, "How about we play something even more exciting?"

Hearing this, Jiang Peng was also stunned for a moment. In this situation, Yuan Mu Ye could actually take the initiative to propose playing something even more exciting. So what kind of medicine was Yuan Mu Ye selling in his gourd?

"How do you want to play?" Jiang Peng couldn't think of anything that was more exciting than this.

Yuan Mu Ye said with a grin, "How about we each smash three?"

Hearing this, Jiang Peng was a little stunned. Each smashing three would be gone in an instant.

"Are you kidding me?" Jiang Peng felt a little unbelievable.

"Do I look like I'm kidding you?" Yuan Mu Ye said with a serious face.

Jiang Peng frowned slightly, thinking about what would happen if the three he smashed didn't have any. Then he wouldn't have any chance at all.

But then he thought, if there were none of them, then he would just forcibly snatch them over.

Thinking of this, Jiang Peng agreed.

"Alright, it's your turn now!"

Jiang Peng was originally thinking of letting Yuan Mu Ye go first, but then he thought, what if he smashed them first?

So he immediately changed his words and said, "Since you changed the rules of the game first, then I should go first."

Yuan Mu Ye couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Good fellow, he could even change his mind at the last minute.

But he didn't say much, and fulfilled Jiang Peng's wishes.

"Alright! Then I'll let you go first!" Yuan Mu Ye said indifferently.

Jiang Peng thought that his might had suppressed Yuan Mu Ye, so he agreed so readily. He didn't think too much, and immediately smashed the three mud figures.

Good fellow, as he expected, none of these three mud figures had any.

Jiang Peng's face instantly darkened, and he wanted to say something, but in the end, he closed his mouth.

"Since none of the three you smashed had any, then there's no need to look at mine, right?" Yuan Mu Ye said blandly.

Jiang Peng glared at Yuan Mu Ye fiercely, without saying a word, because he was planning how to snatch those two people over.

But his wishful thinking might be in vain!

Because Yuan Mu Ye was also thinking about how to kill him!

Just as the two of them had their own agendas, Li Pangpang and Director Zhou broke free from their restraints and returned to normal.

"Lao Yuan, I knew you would be able to save the two of us." Li Pangpang was very happy, turned to look at Jiang Peng and said, "You lost, shouldn't you let us go?"

"Who said that if I lose, I have to let you go? Now I'm going back on my word. Even if you win, you can't leave." Jiang Peng looked at the three of them with icy eyes.

Yuan Mu Ye was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this guy would also go back on his word. But this gave him a reason not to know how to make a move.

"What do you mean by this? Do you want to go back on your word?" Yuan Mu Ye looked at Jiang Peng, pretending to be angry.

Jiang Peng looked at Yuan Mu Ye with a grin and said, "Haven't you heard a saying? Ghost words can't be trusted. Blame yourself for being too naive and easily believing ghost words."

Yuan Mu Ye sneered and said, "Don't regret it!"

"What do I have to regret? I would regret it if I let you go!"

Jiang Peng didn't plan to continue talking nonsense with them and wanted to directly grab them away.

Unfortunately, he had thought things too simply. Yuan Mu Ye wasn't the kind of soft persimmon that could be kneaded at will.

Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly felt a chill coming from all around him.

Jiang Peng shuddered involuntarily. Before he could react to what was going on, his feet were frozen.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on? What did you do to me?"

Jiang Peng's expression was very calm at first, but now there was a trace of panic on his face, because he didn't expect that he would be frozen.

Yuan Mu Ye looked at him with a grin and said, "I reminded you just now, don't regret it. You said yourself that you wouldn't regret it."

It was at this time that Jiang Peng reacted. The real hunter wasn't him, but the young man in front of him.

He never thought that this young man would be so powerful.

"What exactly do you want?" Jiang Peng was really a little panicked now!

"I don't want to do anything. I just want to kill you!"

Yuan Mu Ye said it directly. This guy could go back on his word, so why couldn't he? Besides, he had won the game, so he had even more reason to do so.

"You can't kill me. If you kill me, my big brother will definitely not let you go." Jiang Peng immediately brought out his big brother, and emphasized, "Do you know what realm my big brother is at? He's at the peak of Earth Rank Three!"

The peak of Earth Rank Three was indeed very powerful.

But so what?

Jiang Peng's big brother wasn't here now anyway. Who would know that he killed Jiang Peng?

Yuan Mu Ye looked at him nonchalantly and said, "Do you think I'm afraid? No!"

"You!" Jiang Peng was speechless for a moment. People had already said it to this extent, so what else could he say?
