The Heartthrob Protagonist Just Wants To Monopolize Me

she refused to say anything.
But I think Li Youzi had given everyone the right to choose.”

 

The right to choose?

 

Ji Mingxia was stunned for a moment and quickly understood.

 

She was returning the choice of the order of death to Song Yuelin, Meng Xinyi and the rest of the group.

 

Back then, Song Yuelin and the others had her and Lin Siyun the rings, and after all these years, Youzi and Lin Siyun weren’t stupid to not notice something wrong with the rings.

 

With the ring in her hand, Li Youzi held a portion special energy and had the power of speech.

 

She used the ring as a bargaining chip to torture them all over again, just like back then at the abandoned building.

 

Back then, the choices were a depressing psychological game.

 

But it was different this time.

 

No one wanted to be a sacrificed when their lives were involved.

 

Bao Guangyuan did not elaborate on the aftermath, but Ji Mingxia roughly guess what happened.
The group must have imploded under the pressure, and with the deaths of Lu Liang and Shi Wei, they distrusted each other and the whole team was eventually torn apart.

 

“Li Youzi's aim is to kill all of you.” Ji Mingxia said.

 

“Probably.” Bao Guangyuan whispered.

 

Most of the truth had surfaced so far.

 

Whether it was the origin of the rings, Lin Siyun's death, and what led to this forest predicament.

 

But at the same time, more mysteries had emerged.

 

Who gave them the invitation, and who was the man who hosted the game back then?

 

That game seemed gruesome, but Ji Mingxia, who had already come into contact with mysterious objects, was not too so of it.

 

That man could take out the blood red rings so he must have more mysterious items on hand.

 

He used an abandoned residential building to set the scene, not even the current Yu Ning was able to do it.

 

What was that man's purpose?

 

The incident made such a big deal back then, but no investigation was conducted in the end.
It has been years and unless that man takes the initiative to show himself, it would be difficult to find out the truth ……

 

In fact, from a certain point of view, this group of people in the forest could all be considered victims.

 

But when they escaped their predicament and had a choice, they transformed from victims to perpetrators.

 

Ji Mingxia summarised all of his thoughts with Yu Ning, and he wanted to hear his opinion.

 

“My thoughts are similar to yours.” Yu Ning said.
Seeing that Ji Mingxia wad looking at him expectantly, he couldn't help but add a few more words, “The blood red rings needs human blood to nourish them.
The more people that die, the more energy the rings will have.
Once they reach their peak and are merged, the two rings would inspire new abilities.’

 

“That man made that game to use that group of people and when the sacrifices are complete, he will definitely find a way to take the rings, so sooner or later, he will show himself.”

 

Ji Mingxia froze and glanced at the ring on Yu Ning's hand, “You mean that he will come for us sooner or later?”

 

Yu Ning said, “It's also possible that he's already here.”

 

A chill ran down Ji Mingxia's spine as he turned his head to look around.
He felt as if there were prying eyes everywhere in this forest, watching them in secret.

 

‘I thought that a monster and Li Youzi were hard enough to deal with, but I never thought that there might be other enemies lurking in the forest……’

 

Of course, all this was not without warning.

 

The monster that suddenly appeared yesterday had a mysterious triangular golden crest above its head, and Ji Mingxia still hasn't figured out exactly where he’d seen that pattern before.

 

It must have been something extremely important for it to make an impression on him, but the harder he tried to think of it, the less he could recall.

 

He was in his tent when the monster came yesterday, so he did not see it with his own eyes.
He hoped that after he would be able to remember some clues if he saw the monster again.

 

By the time Bao Guangyuan finished recounting those past events, the morning had already passed by.

 

The truth of the past was shocking, but the present was more important to them.

 

The monster was no longer following a regular pattern and it could reappear at any time.
They had to be completely prepared, and the first step was – not to go hungry.

 

As soon as it was time to eat, Yu Ning began to prepare lunch for Ji Mingxia.

 

Buttered pineapple buns, ham and meat, crisp egg yolks, melon seeds and spicy sticks ……

 

Bao Guangyuan had been talking all morning and his stomach had long been rumbling with hunger.
Meng Xingyi had not only stolen Yu Ning's bag, but even the wild fruits in his inventory.

 

At the moment, Bao Guangyuan’s eyes were round as he saw Yu Ning taking out so many delicacies from Ji Mingxia's backpack like magic.

 

Even though it was Yu Ning who was preparing lunch at the moment, Bao Guangyuan could not help but speak out with shock, “Didn't Meng Xinyi take away all of your food?!”

 

Ji Mingxia gave Bao Guangyuan a strange look, “She only took one bag, the other bag is still here.”

 

“But wasn't the food always in Yu Ning's backpack, and he was in charge of carrying it?” Bao Guangyuan asked.

 

This was not something he had made up, but something they had seen with their own eyes along the way.

 

“Oh!” Ji Mingxia said, “It was originally like that, but Yu Ning had nothing to do last night so he organized the backpack.
He sorted all the food and useful items into my bag, so don't worry, we still have plenty of supplies.”

 

Bao Guangyuan's eyes widened as he looked at Ji Mingxia and then at Yu Ning.

 

Yu Ning was performing magic, taking out one delicious food after the other and placing it in front of Ji Mingxia for him to choose.

 

No matter which delicacy, all were delicious in Bao Guangyuan's eyes, but unfortunately, none of them belonged to him.

 

He swallowed and suppressed his appetite, but he couldn't help but ask in curiousity, “There are so many food items in your bag, then what is in the bag that Meng Xinyi took away?”

 

Bao Guangyuan had known Meng Xingyi for so many years.
Although she was a soft and delicate girl, she would not give up in something as long as she had her mind set on it.

 

Such spirit is good when it comes to career, but when it leads to stealing things…

 

Anyway, she certainly wouldn't go empty-handed.
Even if she was in a hurry again, she would certainly notice if she was carrying an empty bag ah!

 

Ji Mingxia, “Speaking of which, Yu Ning and I have to thank her.
Thank you, Meng Xinyi, for your contribution to the cause of forest environmental protection.”

 

Bao Guangyuan looked at Ji Mingxia in confusion.

 

Ji Mingxia said with some embarrassment, “Although Yu Ning and I were well prepared, the more things we had, the more rubbish we had after use for example, food packaging boxes, tissues, changing clothes etc were are all in that bag.
We originally planned to take it out and throw it away, but we didn’t expect…”

 

Bao Guangyuan: “……”

 

Who would have thought of that.

 

He suddenly felt pity for Meng Xinyi.
