Chapter 1246 Fair?

Amethyst (fake Mei) fled the hot spring area in a panic and plunged into the denser woods, just wanting to find an empty corner to calm down, preferably to hide there until the end of the game.

However, he soon discovered that the forest seemed to have become particularly lively. No matter which direction he turned, he could always sense a familiar atmosphere before he got far, as if an invisible net was slowly closing in.

He just walked around a bush when he saw the pink-haired miko walking quickly towards him, holding her sister's hand. Yae Rin looked over curiously: "Mei? You look anxious? Did you see your brother...ah, it's Amethyst! Did you see him?"

Yae Sakura frowned, staring at Amethyst (the fake Mei), who didn't dare linger. Before her sisters could fully become suspicious, she managed a forced smile, mumbling something about looking for Kiana, and quickly slipped away. She could faintly hear Yae Sakura's footsteps behind her, her sudden realization catching up. But she was too slow. Having missed her best opportunity to attack, how could her younger sister possibly catch Amethyst's flight?

After shaking off her two sisters, Zijing hadn't even caught her breath when she heard Desdobia's voice: "Huh? Isn't that Mei? Did you see that Zijing guy when you came over?"

"..."

Amethyst exchanged glances with Xi, who seemed to be hesitant to speak beside Destobia. Luckily, Xi softened under Amethyst's pleading gaze and didn't expose her on the spot. He then quickly shook his head to indicate he hadn't seen her, continuing on his "journey" without stopping. It felt as if Xi's gaze lingered behind him for a long time.

Ran for a while longer.

"Wow! Mei!" Paduo suddenly fell down from the tree upside down. If Zijing ran faster, she would bump into him. "Are you in such a hurry to find someone? Is it Jing?"

"Um……"

Grayshue walked out from the side and raised the water gun towards Amethyst, hesitating whether to shoot or not, but Amethyst had already shot her in the face with her own water gun, and then harmed the cat who was still unaware of it.

"Pooh, pooh, pooh! Mei, why are you killing each other?! Our clothes are very expensive... Huh? They didn't melt? No, you are Brother Jing! You are so despicable!" Pado finally reacted.

"..."

Can he be blamed for this? It was just a legitimate defense after feeling the crisis.

Zijing glanced at Grace, who blinked, her face radiating innocence. She had seemed so well-behaved before...how had she become like this now? Had she really spent too much time with those two, Velvet and Alicia?

After seeing the two off, Zijing thought things were quieting down a bit when Fu Hua's meticulous voice rang out, "Raiden Mei-san?"

The gray-haired girl was analyzing the battlefield (game) situation with Danzhu and Cangxuan. "You..." Before she could finish her words, Danzhu interrupted, "Mei! No, you are Zijing!"

Cang Xuan explained calmly, "Mr. Su has already betrayed you. Considering your previous transformation into a woman, anyone acting suspiciously will be considered a suspect. Not to mention, on the way here we ran into Ms. Grace and Ms. Pardo, who you eliminated."

"..."

A fierce battle erupted, with Danzhu and Cangxuan being the first to be kicked out. The former, with Fu Hua's support, became too arrogant, earning him a lot of criticism from Zijing. But it had to be said that Fu Hua was quite formidable, having received requests from Alicia, such as taking some photos of the "scenery"...

Fu Hua didn't know how to refuse, but a vague sense of guilt made her tell Zijing about this.

Alicia...

Zijing was almost overwhelmed and shot in the face because of his emotional fluctuations. Fortunately, he cheated and used his power to sneak attack Fu Hua, thus avoiding defeat.

"Shhh...shameless..."

Danzhu, who had long been "dead", stood outside the battlefield and scratched Zijing's face.

"When you surrounded me, I didn't say anything to you..."

After walking for a while, when Zijing suddenly became alert, Theophile suddenly rushed out from the shadows and hugged "Mei"'s arm. A hint of happiness of reunion seemed to appear on his expressionless face.

Benares, who was with her, walked out next. Unlike Theophile, she had received orders from the queen, which was to spray her good brother inside and out and take pictures... Had she ever provoked that little devil? Why was she so determined to kill her?!

The corner of Zijing's mouth twitched. Just as he was about to teach this ignorant little pet a lesson, Theophile got there first, stood in front of his master, and rushed towards his fellow pet and friend.

Water bombs flew everywhere, and the two girls' clothes were torn into tatters. Fortunately, the only spectator present had already left and left this dangerous place.

After this chaotic series of "chance encounters," Zijing (the fake Mei) was exhausted and felt like the whole world was against him. Hearing a new noise, he subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

In a relatively quiet clearing in the woods, he saw Kosmo, and... Sakura.

I had expected another big fight, but Sakura had already made it clear she had no hostility and voluntarily dropped her gun. She offered a suggestion: let Amethyst be shot in the hands or feet, or something insignificant, by her own enemy, and then be out safely.

Hearing this, Kosmo subconsciously thought of Kevin and Mei.

Hmm... the foundation of trust between companions is wavering.

Amethyst was a little surprised and a little happy. She didn't expect that her companions would be among the enemies - Xi and Theophil: What about us?

He saw sincerity in Sakura's eyes, which made him let down his guard slightly and choose to trust his companion.

However, when Zijing tried to ask further questions——

"Oh my~ It seems like some interesting private transaction is going on here." Alicia's lively voice sounded like a silver bell.

Alicia emerged from behind a tree, smiling, followed by Su. Su's expression remained gentle as always, but there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He shook his head slightly at Zijing, indicating that the situation was complicated.

Alicia's eyes swept over Amethyst, Sakura, and Kosmo, who had transformed into Mei, and her smile grew even brighter. "I didn't expect the most powerful 'prey' to actually show up on its own, and even reach a secret agreement with Sakura, one of the 'hunters'? This can't be allowed. Games have to be fair, right?"

"……fair?"

Kosmo muttered, but Alicia pretended not to hear. She waved the elegantly shaped water gun in her hand. "Besides, Su Ke traded very important 'information' for respectability. Amethyst, how do you think you should 'pay' your appearance fee?"
