Ingenious Island [HIATUS]

Arc II - Arises of the Vanquishers : Chapter 8 - Suspicious Truth

Hello everyone! How's your day? Mine is great!

By the way, I'm trying to involve many other interesting history figures this time, and Jianhao-ge finally got the chance to reveal his skills!

By the way, you might have already realized I barely use "-ge" "-jie" or other Chinese calling forms after the first few chapters, instead I switch to brother and sister. I think some of you already notice, because in the story, their languages are automatically translated so when our main characters talk with other race minor characters, I also switch their calling forms as well.

Keywork:

"...-ge" - older brother, older male.

Hope you guys enjoy the chapter!

"Which one are you?"

"A... sh... she...ep..."

One by one, the Vikings took three women from the same room as Yu Shuxin to another place. Those women's desperate pleading was traumatizing those around her but was in vain, and painful screams could be heard from far away along with the men's laughter.

Even though everyone got imprisoned in a narrow space, not everyone was unaware of the situation from the outside. The game of Sheep and Wolf had long been released. Those who were smart enough could use this to their advantage. Wolves could kill Sheeps at night, but they could not identify every single Sheeps by themselves. In order word, Yu Shuxin realized a loophole and managed to understand the rule due to one of the captures being clear minded. The lady was also the Viking's new prisoner. Even without seeing her, Yu Shuxin could picture the lady's personality from the way she patiently explained in detail with a beautiful voice.

"Sister, your voice is so euphonious!"

The lady with a beautiful voice got caught off guard from the sudden praise, but she turned back to her senses almost immediately. Yu Shuxin heard a small chuckle and she couldn't help but also awkwardly laughed at her silly self. She realized she forgot to ask for the lady's name.

"Hey beautiful sister, my name is Shuxin, last name Yu. What's your name?"

"Michelle Pfeiffer, nice to meet you Shuxin."

This day was a stormy night. The uneven ground got even more slippery with drizzle rain the more the rescuers advanced. The wind blew against the direction they walked toward and caused them to slow down. In the dark jungle, only two black figures were seen walking side by side toward the Japanese's territory but no one said a single word. The older sometimes took a glimpse at the younger one as if afraid if he ever let down his guard, he would be the one in danger before the rescue could even begin.

"You don't need to be that cautious, I don't have any weapon with me."

Of course the younger one noticed such an obvious stare because he also occasionally glanced back at the older one.

"... You're the one to talk. You look like you're gonna drill a hole in me."

"... Alright, my bad for looking at the only human here!"

"No, my bad for my intense stare. Anyway, I don't know your name yet."

"Oh, Bryan Walker, call me Bryan! And you are?"

"Wu Jianhao!"

After exchanging a few words, both of them lower their guard to each other. They realized the other guy was not so bad and clicked with each other almost instantly. A while passed by with them chattering about themselves, Wu Jianhao remembered he had not yet to ask for the reason why Bryan Walker wanted to come along to rescue someone that was not his teammate.
