Chapter 40 As Expected
"How can I be sure that you three aren't either?" Ying's expression suddenly twisted, glaring at the three people around him.
"In short, even if one of us is, you can't harm us! Besides, I believe the three of us only got ordinary game rules!" Ling Xi retorted without fear. However, Ling Xi's words inadvertently aroused Chou Ka and Lan Yu's suspicion...
"How many survival points do you have now?"
"29! What about you?" Shadow blurted out. Faced with such a sharp question, Shadow didn't flinch at all; he had long been prepared. He had calculated that Qiao Jia's total score was 27, and he himself had triggered the hidden task when he first entered, so saying 29 wouldn't arouse anyone's suspicion.
"Because I have participated in one more game than you, I am 33 survival points..."
"I have 27 survival points..." "4..." Zhou Lan Yu said lightly, his words causing a burst of crazy laughter.
"Haha, Blue Universe brother, it seems you can't get out of this round! Hurry up and think of a way, killing the player with special tasks will give you 50 survival points as a reward. And in the last round, killing any player will give you 5 survival points! Good luck!"
"Shadow, you entered the game at the same time as Qiao Jia, why do you have 2 more survival points than her? Moreover, during your second game, you personally killed two players... Does that mean killing players won't be punished at all?" Lian Xi felt a chill run down his spine, if that's really the case, Shadow would become even more unscrupulous.
He gazed at Lian Xi with a sinister glint in his eyes, "Survival points, I've touched the hidden task one more time than Qiao Jia. As for killing... it seems that indeed no price needs to be paid... Heh heh..."
Ying's response once again made Lian Xi feel a sense of inexplicable despair. If Ying were to go on a killing spree, none of them would be able to escape... The game had no restrictions on killing players, so naturally, Ying could freely kill everyone...
Ling Yu suddenly had an epiphany. "Shadow, I know you can easily kill everyone, but now every time we play the game to complete tasks and survive, it's not that easy. Relying on yourself alone is naturally not enough, I think you should also know... Since you have such powerful martial skills, why don't you wait until the last round of the game to make your move? You also said that in the last round of the game, killing one player can get 5 survival points. Now you already have 29 survival points, and there are still six rounds left. With your strength, you completely have a chance to accumulate enough points to leave the Nightmare Game..."
Ling Yu's words were somewhat incoherent, she was now extremely tense, she just hoped to drag it out for a while longer, if they could really persuade Ying to make the final move, then the few of them would still have a chance to live, although they didn't have the ability to kill Ying and resolve this danger, but the game could be won, this was a game against ghosts after all...
"Yes, only when everyone is united can we get out of this game together. If our companions all become enemies..." Qiao Jia didn't dare to continue speaking and didn't know how to go on, lowering her head and secretly glancing at Ying, she was really afraid...
At this time, the shop assistant came over and told them that it was already past business hours and they had to close.
They just realized it was already eleven o'clock. "Are we going to meet again tomorrow?" Qiao Jia said weakly.
"Let's meet here at 10 am tomorrow." Lian Xi hadn't gone to work for two days, and Qiao Jia and Lan Yu were the same. Lian Xi looked up at Ying sitting next to her, "You'll come too, right?!" Ying made an OK gesture, smiled slyly, stood up, turned around and left...
Lianxi walked alone on the way home, the dark night was quiet and gloomy. Everything around her was dark and indistinct. Lianxi felt an overwhelming sense of oppression. A terrifying atmosphere surrounded her, as if it was about to swallow her up...
Even the faint light of the stars seemed exceptionally cold. The blackness around her was inching closer and closer to Lian Yu, soon enveloping her heart... She had never been so scared before. No wonder Dad told her that "if ghosts exist, they are indeed frightening, but what's even more terrifying is the cruelty of human hearts!"
Ying quietly followed Lian Xi, being extremely careful not to make any noise, fearing that he would scare her. He knew that his behavior today would definitely make Lian Xi fearful, but only he himself understood that he would never harm Lian Xi... However, in order to hide his 'identity', he had no other choice. It was just that things were going much more smoothly than he had imagined, with every step proceeding according to his prior plan...
The shadow is also painful, with today's events and the words spoken today, probably after tonight, he will never trust himself again... He doesn't want Lian Yu to be afraid of him, nor does he want her to suspect him... Yes, he has fallen in love with her...
So, he didn't want to do anything that could hurt Ling Xi in the slightest. Ying knew that if she killed Qiao Jia and Lan Yu, Ling Xi would definitely hate her. Last time, when Qiao Jia accidentally fell from the building, Ling Xi was like a madman, instantly collapsing. Now thinking about it, Ying's heart still trembles slightly, extremely heartbroken...
She returned home in the evening, sat in the corner of her bed, curled up and stared blankly out the window. She used to be afraid of night, afraid of darkness, but today she didn't even turn on a single lamp. She just sat there alone, quietly...
The endless black night was eerily quiet, only occasionally interrupted by the howling of fierce winds. The clock ticked away with a "tick-tock" sound, and even the sound of heartbeats could be heard clearly. Lian Xi looked very calm, her face deathly pale. Suddenly, Lian Xi felt an emptiness in her heart, but she didn't know why. So many things had happened, yet why did her heart still feel so empty?
The dark night always becomes the quietest corner, with the faint light of the moon, Lian Yu's frail body looks especially sorrowful.
At this moment, she feels an unparalleled loneliness, as if things weren't originally like this... She doesn't want to do anything, doesn't want to think about anything, just wants to sit quietly and stare blankly, if Shadow saw Ling Xi's current state, he would probably be extremely heartbroken...
The morning sunlight shone into the room, and Lianxiu rubbed her eyes. She didn't know when she fell asleep last night, and she hadn't even changed out of her clothes or closed the curtains. Lianxiu touched her head, but couldn't remember how she got home last night...
It's like I got drunk and had a blackout, I just can't remember what happened after parting with Qiao Jia and Lan Yu last night... Not being able to remember isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's better to forget the desolation of last night...
