Lost Memories | A Liskook Adaptation

Chapter 35: The Beginning of Death

It's beginning to shower.

Mist is hovering above the surface of the river, and the bridge above it seems to be swaying even more in the rain.

Jungkook and Lisa cross it.

A dense forest is up ahead. The sound of rain drowns out all other noises. Not a single person can be seen in their view.

Lisa can feel the forest's dampness through her clothes. The mud beneath her feet is also moist, making it hard to walk on.

Jungkook is walking beside her. The blood stains have been wiped away from his face, but a long and thin cut can be seen. It's as if it's a declaration to them: they have been under T's control all along. They must continue playing the game according to his rules, or else he can kill a person at any time.

And if they want to stop him, there are only two ways:

They either have to find him;

Or end this competition as soon as possible and gather everyone together so that he can't do anything.

It's just that this landscape is too complicated and the rain is pouring too hard, washing away all the footprints. It's too difficult to round up everyone at this point. They run for about half an hour before hearing faint sounds of gunshots amid the pouring rain.

Jungkook gestures with his hands for Lisa to follow him and walk around the back of the slope. But within a few steps, they suddenly hear the sound of someone pulling the gun bolt above their heads. They both look up immediately. In perfect timing, Jungkook holds up his gun, pulls the bolt, and fires a series of shots before the other person, "Bang, bang, bang."

The other person is struck dumb as he lowers his gun. In the rain, Lisa can still make out his face clearly. It's the sunshine boy of the Blue Team, Yoo Joon.

He clicks his tongue and throws his gun to the ground, as well as removing the sensor device from his body. Jungkook and Lisa climb up the slope.

"You're too quick, aren't you?" Yoo Joon says. Probably because he's feeling extremely tired, he sits himself down in a muddy puddle and wipes away the rain on his face, "I should've fired at you secretly from behind!"

Jungkook doesn't comment on his complaints. He looks around at the top of the slope and asks him, "Where are the others?"

Yoo Joon looks up at him and responds lazily, "I don't know. It's raining too hard, so it became chaotic. I waited for a long while before spotting you guys."

Jungkook and Lisa look at each other.

Yoo Joon is the first person that they've bumped into after crossing the bridge. And T's gunshot was fired from this direction.

Lisa squats in front of him and says grinning, "Yoo Joon, since you're done already, it doesn't matter to you on which side wins. Why don't you tell us where they've headed to."

Yoo Joon glances at her, "If I tell you guys, what's in it for me?"

Lisa thinks for a second and answers, "If we win the prize money, we'll give you a portion of it?"

He sits up straight right away and looks at her with a faint smile on his face, "How much do I get? You have to keep your words."

His serious tone makes him seem like a greedy person. Lisa responds smiling, "10 thousand RMB." He probably won't believe her if she gives him more than that.

Just as she expected, he looks at her and then looks up at Jungkook, "Can I trust her words?"

Jungkook answers, "Yes."
