Chapter 1241 Blindfold

Watching Qianjie's grief-stricken figure disappear into the depths of the woods, Kosmo retreated even deeper into the shadows of the bushes. Qianjie's "miserable condition" was still fresh in his mind, and he didn't want to be the next one.

However, a deliberately suppressed but excited chatter came from afar, accompanied by a few light and swift footsteps, which "drove" another cold breath to a relatively open clearing in the forest near Kosmo's hiding place.

It's Kevin.

Although the former civilization's strongest warrior remained upright, a chill permeating his body, forming a small patch of frost at his feet to prevent the dissolving liquid from approaching, the situation was clearly not optimistic. Both Kosmo and Kevin could sense that more and more enemy reinforcements were coming from all directions.

Suddenly, Kevin stopped and looked forward.

Mei stood quietly in the middle of the clearing, her slender figure outlined by the moonlight. She also held a water gun, the same model as Alicia and the others.

Kevin opened his mouth, then closed it weakly.

"Hurry up, Sister Mei! Let's get rid of Boss Kevin quickly!"

"Yeah, yeah! Shoot him! If we shoot him we can go find the next one!"

"You are not allowed to freeze Dr. Mei's water gun with cold air! It's a foul!"

The voices of Padu, Danju, and Destobia emanated from behind the bushes at the edge of the clearing, their voices undisguised as they watched and encouraged the show. Sakura, Aponya, and Xi were also in the other direction. They had clearly forced Kevin towards Mei's location, intentionally or unintentionally, and were now hiding in the shadows, excitedly preparing to watch this "lovers' murder" drama. Kosmo could even imagine them clutching their popcorn.

Kevin's eyes swept across the dangerous water gun in Mei's hand, and then looked at the ambiguous smile on her face. A very subtle trace of vigilance flashed across the depths of his ice-blue eyes.

Although the other party was his lover, after the game started, he had already realized that under the instigation of Alicia, almost all of his companions from the previous civilization had become enemies.

Mei seemed to see what Kevin was thinking, chuckled, and stepped forward. Kevin was silent for a moment, and when he saw that Mei didn't raise her gun, he stopped thinking about retreating and just stood there, staring at her closely.

One step, two steps...

Mei came to Kevin's side, close at hand.

Just when Kevin was tense, she suddenly leaned over to his ear and whispered, "Kevin, do you... want to get out of this safely?"

"...?"

Kevin, who was originally on guard against a sneak attack from his girlfriend, was stunned and looked at her in surprise.

Mei casually unscrewed the water tank of the water gun and shook it at Kevin. In the moonlight, the color of the liquid in the tank seemed... clear?

"Hehe... I secretly replaced the 'ammunition' inside with ordinary seawater a long time ago. Alicia and the others don't know."

She seemed to find Kevin's changing expression amusing. "This game isn't that appealing to me. Besides, stripping you naked isn't a difficult task for me. So, perhaps dying at my hands is the best solution for you right now?"

Kevin looked at Mei's sincere eyes and the clear liquid in the jar, and his tense nerves seemed to relax a little. Mei was his lover after all, so she wouldn't...right? The chill around him subconsciously subsided a little.

"Thank you, Mei..." Kevin's voice contained a hint of imperceptible hope.

"Hehe...we should separate. Although our conversation is likely to be heard by Sakura, as long as we act well and stay within the rules, she won't be able to say anything."

Mei seemed to be really doing this for his own good, and she took the initiative to walk away, then stopped and turned around, as if she was going to have a cowboy-like showdown with Kevin.

Kevin understood what Mei meant and decided to cooperate with her, so he turned around and moved in the other direction to keep some distance.

The moonlight was cool, but the atmosphere in the clearing was strangely tense. Kevin and May stood facing each other a few meters apart, like dueling gunslingers in a Western film, except they were holding cute water guns.

The wariness deep within Kevin's icy blue eyes had been largely dispelled by Mei's words and the clear water, replaced by a subtle sense of security, a sense of "the plan worked." He even deliberately relaxed the chill that lingered around him, reducing the area of ​​frost beneath his feet. Since Mei was deliberately letting him win, he naturally had to play along and "lose" gracefully.

Across from her, Mei still wore that elusive smile, the moonlight reflecting off her glasses in a cool, cool glow. She adjusted her stance slightly, the water gun seemingly hanging casually at her side, her finger firmly on the trigger.

"Are you ready, Kevin?" May's voice was lighthearted and playful.

Kevin nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and also assumed a ready position. His movements were standard and swift, but he was determined to slow down his movements by half a beat at the moment when Mei raised her gun.

"Three..." Mei counted down softly.

"two……"

"one!"

At the moment when the word "one" fell.

Mei's arm had turned into a shadow, and she raised the water gun, aimed, and pulled the trigger at an extremely fast speed!

"laugh--!"

A line of water shimmered in the moonlight with a crystal luster that was completely different from before, with a strange and sticky feeling. Like a deadly poisonous snake, it shot towards Kevin's chest with incredible precision!

Kevin's body's instinctive reaction ultimately outpaced his conscious awareness. The moment May raised her gun, a chill ran through him uncontrollably, and he subconsciously swayed, as if trying to dodge.

However, he was ultimately "slow" by those crucial fractions of a second. Before he could move, the sticky water line had already slammed heavily into the fabric of his chest!

puff!

There was a slight sound of fabric dissolving.

Kevin felt a sudden chill on his chest! It wasn't just the wetness of ordinary water, but a chill that instantly penetrated his clothes and reached his skin, with a strong dissolving effect! Where the water hit, the fabric of his clothes instantly became transparent and softened, disintegrating rapidly as if corroded by strong acid, revealing the firm outline of his muscles underneath!

"Huh?!" Kevin looked down at his chest in disbelief, then suddenly looked up at Mei.

Mei's smile spread wide. She even tilted her head slightly, her free hand habitually pushing down her glasses. The look behind the lenses was startlingly bright. "Sorry, Kevin. All's fair in war."

That's not clear seawater! The water gun was filled with genuine, super-solvent specially provided by Alicia and Velvet! In the split second Kevin turned away, his back to her, May had already unscrewed the water tank with lightning speed and quickly replaced it with the tank filled with solvent she had prepared earlier! The "clear water" she had shown him was just a deception to completely let him down!
