Ten Day Ultimatum

Chapter 397 Last Letter

“So your memories don’t flow into one another?” Qi Xia inquired.

“For now, it seems not.”

“So you’re saying neither of you can access the other’s mind, and therefore your memories can’t align—”

“No…” Chen Junnan raised a hand, cutting Qi Xia off. “As for {communication}… there is indeed a way for the two of us to know each other’s thoughts.”

“What way?”

Chen Junnan smiled faintly, then reached into the breast pocket of his jacket and drew out a slip of paper, unfolding it before Qi Xia.

“Because I’ve died too many times, I’ve formed the habit of leaving behind a ‘last letter’… This one was originally meant for you. But by a twist of fate, it ended up back in my hands.”

Qi Xia leaned forward to look. The handwriting on the testament was scrawled and messy, it was unclear whether Chen Junnan’s script had always been this way, or whether he had written it in panic.

…

Ole Qi, if you’re reading this, then I’m probably already dead.

So, did that intro give you a scare? Hahaha!

This young master’s heading over to Terrestrial Snake’s turf for a spin. If this young master makes it back alive, I’ll regale you with the glorious exploits of yours truly. If I don’t, well, I’ll tell you next time—you’ll have to listen either way.

Of course, it’s also possible that I’ll get fired up and stake my life against him. In that case, the ending’s hard to say.

No matter what, since this last letter remains, you should be able to picture this young master’s dashing figure in your mind.

Ah, right, I just remembered what I needed to tell you. Celestial Snake is fiercely protective. If I really do take down Terrestrial Snake, odds are that bookworm will come looking for me. Since you all hail from the same room as I, you may well be targeted too.

In other words, if you encounter that bookworm, it proves that Celestial Snake has left the train. And legend has it that Celestial Snake is the trusted aide of Celestial Dragon; if even Celestial Snake has disembarked, then it means the other Celestial-grades have mobilized as well. This young master’s advice: dig a hole and hide.

I’ve only ever seen three {Celestial-grade} Earthly Branches, but each one was harder to deal with than the last.

That said, if Celestial Snake does not appear, then you must wait for my return before taking action.

I suspect I’m the only one remaining at {End Point} who has witnessed the methods of Celestial Horse and Celestial Tiger and still retained memory of them.

That’s all. Respectfully yours.

P.S. No need to write back, I’ll never receive it anyway.

…

After reading the {last letter}, Qi Xia once again lifted his gaze and locked eyes with Chen Junnan.

Indeed, there was something he hadn’t mentioned.

Concerning the {Celestial-grades}. From Chen Junnan’s letter, their experiences weren’t enough to have crossed paths with {Celestial-grade}. Then what reason did Chen Junnan have for knowing them? ŗâ₦óᛒƐꞨ

“These three… individuals,” Qi Xia deliberately trimmed away the unnecessary phrasing as he addressed Chen Junnan, “where exactly did you encounter them?”

“Right before you {disappeared},” Chen Junnan replied. “At that time, half of them… made their move, and even launched their own game.”

“What…?” Qi Xia’s brows arched. “What kind of game was it?”

“In essence… a {Reset Game}.” Chen Junnan let out a sigh. “In their game, we didn’t even need to think about how to {win}, merely finding a way to survive was already fortune enough.”

Just then, the figure leaning against the wall outside finally stepped forward.

Everyone turned to look. Qian Five stood there, cigarette in hand.

Chen Junnan gave the woman a once-over. She stirred no impression at first, until his eyes landed on the scar across her left cheek. Only then did his face break into a sudden grin.

“Qian Duoduo?”

“That’s right, Big Brother Chen.”

Only now did Qi Xia and Qiao Jiajin finally realize that this seemingly calculating woman’s real name was truly {Qian Duoduo}.

“Xiao Qian Dou ah!!” Chen Junnan looked especially delighted, taking two quick steps forward to grab Qian Five by the shoulders. “You still remember this young master! This trip wasn’t in vain!”

At that moment, Qian Five suddenly transformed into a man, with a physique identical to Chen Junnan’s.

“Ah, your {Reverberation} is still active?"

“Yes. I feel a bit guilty… eavesdropping outside for so long,” Qian Five said with a smile.

“Nonsense? The fact that we can chat here shows you’re no outsider,” Chen Junnan chuckled.

“Got it.” Qian Five nodded, then cast a serious glance at the others. “Earlier you mentioned {game}. I just wanted to remind everyone that it’s getting late, best to get some rest.”

Once he spoke, he looked over the people in the room and knitted his brow with force.
