Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 229 Shocking Change
Zheng Zha and Mu Xiang exchanged a glance. Seeing Mu Xiang's calm demeanor, Zheng Zha felt even more uneasy and turned his gaze in a certain direction.

That's Zhang Jie's door.

During those ten days, Zhang Jie only appeared once, on the eighth day, to help Zero exchange for bullet time, and then invited everyone to his house for dinner. After dinner, he also participated in sparring, but then disappeared again for the next two days.

Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha both knew some of the inside story, so they tacitly refrained from asking anything in public; the others also sensed something was amiss, making the atmosphere at the dinner table quite strange.

It's already time for a horror movie to start, but Zhang Jie still hasn't appeared, which makes everyone, including Zheng Zha, uneasy.

Even so, the most important thing is to first stand inside the pillar of light.

The moment Zheng Zha stepped into the pillar of light, he saw Zhang Jie also enter the pillar of light beside him... More importantly, Zhang Jie was holding his wife's hand, and the two of them stood together in the pillar of light!
Zheng Zha was startled and immediately turned to look at Mu Xiang, only to see Mu Xiang silently shake his head at him, looking in Zhang Jie's direction.

After another bout of half-dreaming, half-awake, everyone opened their eyes to find themselves on a bus. Strangely, besides the Central Continent Team members and the nine people still lying unconscious on the floor, there were no other passengers on the bus... In fact, there wasn't even a driver.

However, this car happened to be in a stationary traffic flow, and it is unknown in what state it was moving before the arrival of the Zhongzhou team.

Mu Xiang didn't look at Zhang Jie, but glanced at the ground: "Nine people? This is going to be a horror movie with a twenty-person difficulty level."

"Why are you focusing on this..." Zheng Zha finally couldn't hold back anymore. He glanced at Mu Xiang, then looked at Zhang Jie: "Zhang Jie, shouldn't you have explained something before this?"

The classically beautiful woman silently tugged at Zhang Jie's hand, while the man gave a smile: "Want to know the truth? No problem... but you're not qualified yet."

As they spoke, Zhang Jie and the classically beautiful woman walked towards the car door, and the rest of the team members turned around and followed them.

Zheng Zha was taken aback and was about to step forward, but Mu Xiang stopped him.

Zhang Jie turned his head and smiled, "The so-called qualification is the qualification to be the captain of the Zhongzhou team... This is an election game, and everyone speaks based on their own abilities."

The car doors opened automatically, and after Zhang Jie and his group of ten left, the doors closed automatically again; Zhang Jie's voice still lingered in Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha's ears: "As for the rules of the game... it's about winning three matches."

"To win the first round, you need to defeat five of us... You can cooperate or break up, whoever accomplishes it wins the first round. I will tell the winner of the first round part of the truth."

"The second victory requires a fight between the two of you... I've already given you a hint that the second round will begin immediately after the first round. You've both reached level three, and I can't control you... but by subtly influencing you to become enemies while you're off guard, and with the game rules in place, I don't believe you won't start fighting."

"The winner of the second round will obtain another part of the truth. After that, you can challenge me, and the one who ultimately defeats me will be the final winner... He will obtain the third part of the truth, and..."

"Captain's qualification!"

By this time, Zhang Jie and the others had already crossed the traffic and were getting further and further away. The cars and people outside seemed oblivious to them... Only Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha could still hear his voice.

"If you defeat each other, I will also tell the winner the information that was given to one of you... Do you think three victories are unnecessary? Hehe, you can ignore the first two and come directly to challenge me, as long as you are confident in facing ten people to kill you."

"You don't need to worry about them... I can guarantee they'll all be safe and sound. Forget about the newcomers and plot characters, worry about yourselves! This is one of the most difficult horror movie series ever made by the God of War. Don't think you'll be safe." "Mu Xiang, Zheng Zha... I'm so happy to know you... You're both candidates for captain of the Central Continent Team. Come and prove you're the most qualified! If you don't have the determination and strength, you might as well die..."

Zheng Zha's face was grim: "You noticed Zhang Jie was acting strangely a long time ago. Was this something you expected?"

Mu Xiang countered, "You've done the deduction yourself, can you deduce such details?"

"No," Zheng Zha said honestly.

"Neither can I." Mu Xiang shrugged.

I don't lie to people.

Zheng Zha sighed, slammed his fist on the car window, and was bounced back by a tremendous force, causing his arm to tremble involuntarily. The red flames that were poised to strike were also forcibly suppressed.

But Zheng Zha's body was resilient enough that he stopped talking when he saw that it was useless and looked down at the newcomers all over the ground.

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "You're quite calm."

"Well, I noticed you seemed very calm," Zheng Zha sighed.

"Don't worry, Zhang Jie won't harm us. If he really wanted to harm our Zhongzhou team, he wouldn't need to protect so many people... And he doesn't think he can pose a threat to us with the rest of us, does he?" Mu Xiang sneered. "In this horror movie, the only real threats are death and each other."

Zheng Zha asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with Zhang Jie? You and Chu Xuan noticed something was off, but you both felt it was hard to say... As for Zhang Jie, I feel this isn't his true intention. Ever since the last horror movie ended, he seems to have been forced to make decisions. Is it the God of War?"

"Very calm thinking, Zheng Zha..." Mu Xiang clapped his hands approvingly, "He didn't lose his composure because of the sudden change and betrayal."

Zheng Zha said with a dark expression, "Don't praise me anymore. No matter how you praise me, I feel like you're being sarcastic."

【No, it's just that you were too obsessed in the original story... Well, thankfully no one else sacrificed themselves, otherwise you would definitely blame him.】

Zheng Zha suddenly took a deep breath and said seriously, "Do you remember what you said to me back then? I don't intend to compete with you for the captain's position, but you must save Zhang Jie! I always felt that what he said was like the eve of his death."

“Of course I remember, a man’s promise.” Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses. “Obviously, judging from the rules of the game, Zhang Jie wants us to finish the first round together, then decide the second round, and the winner will face him. For the sake of my plan, let’s stick to the rules of the game.”

Zheng Zha scratched his head: "Yeah, otherwise you would have just charged forward with your whole body glowing, and Zhang Jie definitely wouldn't have been able to stop you."

"Zhang Jie is doomed too." Mu Xiang rolled his eyes at him.
