Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed

Chapter 382: We’re Doomed, Surrounded!

Fatty fell silent for a moment.He said, "Jiang Ran, stay out of what happens next. I have a score to settle with this bastard Wang Haoran. There's an account between us two."

Hearing this, Jiang Ran was taken aback. "You two have a grudge?"

Jiang Ran didn't recall any feud between Fatty and Wang Haoran.

At least, not from his memory.

Jiang Ran asked again, "So, you're going to kill him?"

Fatty remained silent, and his silence spoke volumes, representing tacit agreement.

Jiang Ran, with his hands in his pockets now, spoke up.

He said, "Fatty, what do you think I should do next?"

Fatty was still silent, only his face was extremely stern.

"If it were the you from university days, you would stop me."

"Of course, not because of Wang Haoran, but because you wouldn't want to see me go astray and bear the weight of a human life."

Jiang Ran said, "That was the me from university days."

"The me now, I'll pretend I didn't see anything next. Do whatever you want to him."

"Even if you kill him, I'll act like I know nothing."

It was the same situation as when Jiang Ran clapped back at Wang Haoran.

Even Liu Bei, who championed benevolence and righteousness, had his temper.

Jiang Ran certainly had his too.

He'd long been sick of this Wang Haoran.

Good riddance if he died.

If Fatty were targeting someone else, he would still step in to stop it.

Fatty still didn't speak.

He lowered his head, thinking for a while, then looked up again with a smile.

"Everyone's changed, huh!"

"You're not the you from university days anymore, and I'm not the me from back then either."

Jiang Ran said, "Yes, so, do whatever you want to him. I'll act like I never saw this scene."

With that, Jiang Ran prepared to turn around and head back to the tent.

He was speechless.

What the hell was this?

One was suspected of killing Jiang Weixin.

Another wanted to kill Wang Haoran.

What the hell kind of reunion was this? A class reunion or a revenge gathering?

Just as he was thinking this, halfway through his turn, something happened he didn't even notice.

A hammer appeared behind his head.

It smashed directly into his skull.

Of course, along with that hammer, the Danger Warning System had actually warned him long ago, but the problem was Jiang Ran often subconsciously filtered those warnings out.

And so it was.

He let out a pained scream and collapsed to the ground.

The immense pain radiating from the back of his head made him clutch the spot with both hands.

When he brought his hands back in front of his eyes, they were covered in bright red blood.

Gritting his teeth against the pain, Jiang Ran looked back over his shoulder, upwards.

There, behind him, stood Zhong Hui, his face icy cold, who had appeared at some unknown moment.

In his hand was an axe.

Zhong Hui had just used the flat back of the axe to hit him, and it was still stained with his fresh blood.

"You... you're in this together?!"

Jiang Ran, after being hit by that metal axe head,

felt like he had a concussion.

His head was spinning violently.

At the same time, he was utterly bewildered by Zhong Hui's sudden appearance and attack.

Zhong Hui nodded and said, "You guessed right, Jiang Ran. Too bad there's no prize for guessing correctly."

Seeing Zhong Hui appear, Fatty simply dragged the unconscious Wang Haoran over.

After dragging him over, he pulled out another rope from who-knows-where and tied Wang Haoran up tightly, hog-tied.

Then, his gaze, cold yet tinged with guilt, fell upon Jiang Ran lying on the ground.

Jiang Ran said with some terror, "Don't tell me you want to kill me too?"

Fatty sighed. "We have no grudge with you. We originally didn't plan to move against you. But there's no helping it. Why did you have to come out in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

"Since that's the case, we can only silence you as well. So don't blame us, Jiang Ran."

"Blame your own poor sleep quality."

Jiang Ran instantly broke down. He roared angrily:

"Fuck your mother! Fatty!"

"Didn't I say it?! I'll act like I didn't see anything that happened tonight!"

"Even so, you still want to take action against me?!"

Fatty looked at Zhong Hui. Zhong Hui said coldly, "Just because you promise doesn't mean we'll believe you."

"There's a saying, Jiang Ran, you must have heard it."

"Only the dead can keep secrets."

A profound realization dawned on Jiang Ran. His raised neck went completely slack as he collapsed back onto the cold, hard earth.

He closed his eyes, as if waiting for death's arrival.

Seeing this, Zhong Hui said, "Rest easy, Jiang Ran. We have no grudge with you, so we'll make it quick for you."

"Not like when I chopped Jiang Weixin, one axe blow after another, letting him die in agony."

Zhong Hui raised the axe in his hand, aiming at Jiang Ran's neck on the ground.

But then, at that moment, Jiang Ran suddenly opened his eyes.

He let out a cold laugh. "Fatty, Zhong Hui, are you two so sure you've got me completely figured out?!"

Zhong Hui said, "Why wouldn't we be?"

Jiang Ran laughed loudly. "Zhong Hui! I still have one last stratagem that can restore the Han Dynasty from the shadows back to the light!"

Zhong Hui sneered. "Let's hear it. I hope you don't end up like Jiang Boyue, playing yourself into a corner."

Jiang Ran wanted to shake his head, but the slightest friction of his throbbing head against the ground felt like level thirteen pain.

He said, "This stratagem of mine is guaranteed to save my life."

"And that is..."

"HELP!!!"

"HEEEEEELP!!!!!!"

"DON'T SLEEP ANYMORE!!!!!"

"GET UP AND SAVE ME, QUICK!!!!"

"IF YOU DON'T SAVE ME NOW, I'M REALLY GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!"

That's right, Jiang Ran's stratagem was to scream for help!

Once activated, this stratagem could summon a thousand troops and ten thousand horses to come to the rescue!

Sure enough, seeing this stratagem take effect,

both Fatty and Zhong Hui's expressions changed.

The next moment,

the loyalist rescue army appeared!

The Freckled Girl and Wang Qin emerged, escorting Wang Qingzhao, who was tied up incredibly securely, their expressions cold and detached.

And the short guy and his girlfriend also appeared before Jiang Ran, seemingly participants in the affair, showing no surprise, only the understanding of those already in the know.

Seeing this, Jiang Ran was horrified.

So, after all this back and forth, there were a total of ten people who came on this class hiking trip.

According to this situation,

six were informed conspirators.

Four were in the dark.

Two of those were to be killed.

And he and Wang Qingzhao were just here to make up the numbers.

In that case, why the hell did you even invite me and Wang Qingzhao?!

Couldn't you have just played your game by yourselves?!

Watching Jiang Ran's face change dramatically,

Fatty and Zhong Hui, who had changed expressions earlier, just shook their heads and laughed.

Jiang Ran cursed, "You two, since you're all in this together, why did you change your expressions when they came out?!"

Zhong Hui replied, "Naturally, to play the act out fully."

"Jiang Ran, didn't I say you shouldn't end up like Jiang Wei, playing yourself into a corner?"

"In remembrance of our time as classmates, I'll give you one chance."

"Recite that famous line. Consider it resonating with Jiang Wei."

Jiang Ran cried. He cried with utter sincerity. "My stratagem has failed! Such is the will of Heaven!!!"

After he spoke, Zhong Hui prepared to finish off Jiang Ran.

But then, Wang Qingzhao, who was tied up, shouted, "Wait a moment!"

Zhong Hui paused, stopping his hand.

He turned his head. "What is it? I know you like Jiang Ran, so he goes first, you go later. You two can be a pair of doomed lovebirds."

Lowering her gaze, Wang Qingzhao let out a deep sigh, fragrant with her breath.

"In remembrance of our time as classmates, at least let us die understanding, okay?"

"What deep-seated hatred do you have with Jiang Weixin and Wang Haoran? What forced you all to join hands to kill them?!"
