Peninsula: My cheat code is unscientific

Chapter 52 Jiang Che's Decision

But this glimmer of hope only lasted for less than two seconds before she saw Taeyeon and Kang Cheol standing there hand in hand, one with a subtle expression and the other with Crocodile Yoon's smiling face, completely in a spectator's mood.

"???"

Sunny watched the two of them holding hands, laughing and looking at her, and for a moment she felt like she had become a raccoon in the zoo, and they were the male and female leads in an idol drama, watching the raccoon.

"Ugh... I must be too afraid of hallucinating..."

Sunny shook her head violently, trying to shake off those chaotic thoughts, and once again sent out a distress signal with even more mournful and urgent eyes, but seeing the two still holding hands and pointing at each other,

With the two lively characters next to her shouting and yelling, her once burning heart gradually cooled down.

Yoo Jae-suk also noticed the two of them.
While gripping the safety rope tightly, Yoo Jae-suk protested in a trembling voice:
"Hey! Kim Tae-yeon! Im Yoona! Are you even teammates? Seeing Sunny in so much pain... and you're just laughing?! Don't you have any conscience?!"

HAHA also chimed in, shrinking back as he spoke, his voice distorted:

"That's right! That's too much!!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Che almost blurted out:

"I wasn't laughing at Sunny alone, I was laughing at all three of you!"

But he swallowed the words back immediately, and on the surface, he still smiled and waved his hand:

"Ani, we're cheering for you with our eyes!"

Yoo Jae-suk's face turned pale, but he still retained his variety show personality instincts, determined to sabotage whoever he could:
"What's the use of just cheering! Yoona, why don't you try it too? Experience what Sunny feels like!"

Jiang Che was both annoyed and amused by these words:

"Is this what Running Man is all about? Even when he's almost crying from fear, he still manages to trick people!!"

He immediately shook his head vigorously, mimicking Taeyeon's earlier fear, and made an "X" shape with his hands in front of his chest:
"Ani ani ani! Absolutely not! Jae-seok oppa, I'm scared! I'm super, super scared!"

Seeing this, Yoo Jae-suk couldn't force her to stay, so he could only continue to turn back and encourage Sunny and himself while trembling, his voice shaking:

"Sunny... hang in there a little longer..."

Jiang Che walked forward a little further and saw up close that Sunny was gripping the safety rope tightly, her knuckles white from the force, and she was inching forward little by little. Every breeze that blew by made her body stiffen.

He began to feel uneasy, and his smile gradually faded.

The two little voices inside me started fighting again:

A tiny person punched him:
"Don't go! Sunny doesn't think you're Yoona's alternate personality like Taeyeon does! If you go up to help, what if she notices something's wrong? How will you explain then? Say you're Yoona's second personality? I bet she'll believe that?"

The other little figure punched back:

"But are you just going to stand by and watch? She's Yoona and Taeyeon's teammate! Look, she's almost crying from fright!"
"But having your identity exposed will cause even more trouble!"

"But I can't live with my conscience if I just stand by and watch someone die!"

"..."

Jiang Che's brows furrowed in worry. He subconsciously turned to look at Taeyeon behind him and asked in a low voice:

"Unnie, what should I do? Should I go up and help Sunny unnie find the second character?"

Taeyeon was also watching with a worried expression. Upon hearing the question, she looked at Kang Cheol with a troubled expression. On one side was her teammate suffering, and on the other was the possibility that her teammate's secret about her alter ego might be exposed.
Adding to that the indescribable emotions that had arisen after the bungee jump… her mind was a complete mess. Finally, she sighed and whispered:
"I...I don't know what to do either. You...you decide for yourself. Whatever you do, I'll support you..."

The decision-making power was then returned to Jiang Che.

Jiang Che took a deep breath and turned his gaze back to Sunny on the field, only to see her still lying on the ground, slowly inching forward.

"PD, nim!" Jiang Che suddenly raised his voice and asked:
"Where are the words? I can't see them."

The PD's voice came through the speakers:

"There was a note tied to the bottom of the steel frame; you had to lie down and reach it."

He pointed to a spot not far in front of Sunny, indicating that it was there.

What?!

Kang Cheol and Taeyeon both subconsciously looked carefully in the direction the PD pointed, but of course they didn't see anything. But what was scary was that they couldn't see anything, because it meant they would have to lean out to reach that spot.

Jiang Che's eyes widened instantly, and he internally screamed:

Is this a task that a carbon-based life form could come up with?! Is this something a human could do?! Game designer, come out here, let's have a chat! Sunny's current state is so bad, she's afraid she'll trip and fall while trying to grab the note, let alone take it!
Looking at Sunny's still slowly crawling figure, and then at that inhumane mission point.

The second little man kicked the first little man away.

Jiang Che gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Che felt much more relaxed. He turned to the staff, feigning fear, and quickly said:
"Um... let me go up and help Sunny unnie too, it should be faster if the two of us go together."

The staff at RM usually don't interfere with what guests want to do, as long as it's not too outrageous. They quickly nodded in agreement and started helping him put on his safety gear.

Taeyeon, standing next to him, looked at him in surprise, her eyes filled with the question, "Are you really going to do it?" But remembering what she had just said, she didn't stop him, and just whispered, "Be careful."

Jiang Che nodded to indicate that she understood, then took a deep breath and began her performance, pulling herself forward step by step while holding onto the safety rope.

At this moment, Sunny finally managed to move to the location of the note, but looking at the note's location, she completely gave up thinking. She just felt that this day next year would probably be her death anniversary, and the members would bring her favorite game console to commemorate her... Waaah, just thinking about it made her even sadder.

Just as she was feeling sorry for herself and wondering what to do, she felt someone gently touch her arm.

Sunny turned her head with difficulty, her eyes brimming with tears, and saw that Jiang Che had come to her side at some point. His face was also filled with fear, his lips were slightly pursed, and he looked no better than her.

“Unnie,” Jiang Che began, continuing his performance, feigning fear as he grabbed Sunny’s arm:
"Get up a little first, it's okay, the safety rope is very strong."

His voice seemed to carry a strange power. Sunny subconsciously used that force to prop herself up and squat down.

Then, she felt a warm hand, with a little hesitation, gently land on her head and awkwardly rub it.

As Jiang Che felt the touch in his palm, a thought unconsciously crossed his mind:
"This feels...better than Taeyeon's."

! ! ! !
Sunny's eyes widened instantly, and she forgot even her fear, freezing on the spot.

A head pat?! Lim Yoona?!
