Chapter 519: This is the End
The plan was complete, but during execution, Jiang Cheng hesitated. He stared down at Fatty as their shared memories crossed his mind. Honestly, Fatty was very good to him. Even though he loved to complain, Fatty had a clear understanding of himself. He was reliable both in the nightmares and in real life.
It looked like Jiang Cheng was the one who dragged them back every time, but Jiang Cheng knew that he wouldn’t have survived for so long without Fatty. For example, if Fatty didn’t gain the beggar’s trust in the ancient China nightmare, everyone would have died. This had nothing to do with capability.
Jiang Cheng revised that mission many times in his mind. He reached the same conclusion every time. Both Deep Red and Night Guardians would have done the same thing he did, which was to capture the girl and force her to speak. Only Fatty showed her true concern and thought about saving a meat bun for her. Everything they did in the nightmare would be wiped away once they left. The professionals didn’t have the patience. They were there to survive, not to do charity.
Jiang Cheng tried to see things from Fatty’s perspective, but he failed. It made him feel so dumb, like he had lost his head. He couldn’t figure out how Fatty managed to live for so long and hadn’t been sold to some backwards mountain mind. Furthermore, why would the organisation behind Fatty keep him around for so long?
His hand on the hilt loosened and tightened. Jiang Cheng told himself that he was merely trying to find the right angle. Fatty snored happily. He had no idea that he was about to turn into a corpse.
Jiang Cheng finally made his move. His hands stopped trembling. The chill in his eyes firmed to silence all the noises. Everything was over.
The blade aimed at Fatty’s throat. Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and glanced at Fatty one last time.
However…
Fatty opened his eyes blurrily. Clearly, he was shocked by Jiang Cheng, who stood beside him. “The fuck! Doctor, what are you doing here?”
