Chapter 163 - Good Person

Chapter 163: Chapter 149 Good PersonPink-haired Bunny, or rather Elliot, held up the language translation black box and asked in a low, hoarse voice, "Why?"

From a self-interest perspective, he really couldn’t understand why Ant would stand up for Su Jie and Ding Shaohua. It wouldn’t bring any more benefits and would only introduce unnecessary risks—after all, Ant wasn’t with the Special Affairs Bureau.

"The superficial reason, anyone can think of."

Li Cheng pointed at Su Jie, "He is from the Special Affairs Bureau, and he has an item like the Thousand Eyes and Ears which can communicate with the outside world. Right now, the abandoned resort where we teleported into in the real world, is probably surrounded by the Special Affairs Bureau’s Mobile Task Force. Killing him would only provoke retaliation from the Special Affairs Bureau."

Having said that, Li Cheng’s eyes fleetingly glanced towards Bai Lang and Andre, who had been mostly silent since the beginning, adopting a stance of observers.

They weren’t being idle or virtuous in their concern for an Ordinary person like Ding Shaohua—they too thought of Su Jie’s identity and guessed that he had already used the Thousand Eyes and Ears to notify the Special Affairs Bureau, who sent their force to encircle the abandoned resort, the teleportation spot.

According to the usual rules of the Slaughter Field Game, you often teleport out from the same place you teleport in.

If Su Jie failed to come out, the Special Affairs Bureau, having lost one of their own, would not be courteous to the remaining players, but would proceed by the book and investigate the players inside.

It was precisely because of this that Bai Lang and Andre maintained their silence. Before the situation became clearer, they feigned a neutral attitude.

Being Lv10 Transcendents, each had their own ulterior motives.

Li Cheng directly pointed out this layer of relations, then suddenly curved his lips into a smile, saying, "As for the real reason, heh, I’ve never really been a good person."

He raised his palm, clasping a plastic, last-century commercial product-looking Electronic Pet Egg in it, and lightly tapped the summon button with his fingertip.

Buzz—

The little bulb on top of the Pet Egg emitted a conical beam of light. A mass of gray, thick and heavy liquid metal, resembling mercury in texture, flowed out slowly from the conical light and spread on the ground.

"I just want to see a grander show,"

As Li Cheng spoke, the gray liquid metal quickly writhed, coalesced, and transformed, ultimately forming a metal humanoid figure with the same build and appearance as him, expressionless and with a cold gaze.

"And also, to snatch more benefits."

Although Elliot’s proposal had a certain appeal, it was too boring. After all the ups and downs of the mission and finally unraveling the secrets behind the amusement park, they would have to betray an Ordinary person and trade with Elliot, an already eliminated Transcendent, for a chance to leave the park?

If one were to play, they should play big, like kidnapping everyone onto the chariot and personally witnessing the so-called "Princess" who caused all the tragedies and triggered everything.

He had arranged a backup plan as well, an Emergency Escape Card lying silently in the Backpack slot. This card had much higher authority than a Regular Task; once activated, he could ignore the Curse and directly Teleport back to the real world.

It was because of this card that his gamble with the others had been on unequal terms right from the start. As he said, he was never really a good person.

In a flash—

Andre and Bai Lang acted at the same time. The former hurled a dagger with force, its blade slicing through the air, leaving an afterimage as it targeted the ring and finger of Elliot’s fluffy left hand, attempting to sever both together.

Meanwhile, Bai Lang raised his sleeve, and several venomous snakes shot out from the shadows of the cuffs, aiming for the human head glass jar in Su Jie’s hand—The focus of the debate between Ant and Elliot was whether to take out Ding Shaohua’s visitor card. If they could kill Ding Shaohua here and create a fait accompli, they could completely avoid killing Su Jie and hand over Ding Shaohua’s visitor card to Elliot.

That way, Bai Lang could leave the park in the safest manner possible.

As for facing the Special Affairs Bureau back in the real world... please, it’s only killing an Ordinary person. Not to mention whether it satisfies the conditions for emergency evasion during a Regular Task,

murdering an Ordinary person and killing a Mobile Task Force member like Su Jie is not on the same level at all.

This is a cruel fact; although the Special Affairs Bureau’s propaganda preaches equality for all, some people are more equal than others.

This thought flashed through Bai Lang’s mind as the colorful snake bit towards the glass jar, but at the last moment, it was firmly grasped by the neck by Su Jie.

"Sorry."

Su Jie’s gaze flickered as he flung the snake away with one hand while placing the glass jar on the ground with the other, sliding it like a curling stone along the marble floor towards the castle’s exit.

Thud, thud.

The glass jar collided slightly with beams and door frames, changing its course with each impact, finally slipping out the door and landing on the lawn, perfectly lodged in a blind spot.

At the same time, due to the nature of the castle itself, the army of dolls roaming outside did not approach to smash the glass jar and kill Ding Shaohua inside.

On the other side...

Clang!

Elliot, resembling a pink-haired bunny, caught the flying dagger in mid-air with his left palm with precise and steady control. The blade swung up and down, buzzing, but couldn’t advance another inch to cut off Elliot’s fingers.

"Sigh..."

From the language transfer device in the little black box, there came what seemed to be either noise or a sigh. The pink-haired bunny dropped the dagger, wedging the little black box into the fluff on its body, gently twirling that crystal-clear, genuine diamond ring with its right hand.

Buzz—Buzz—

An invisible ripple spread out in all directions from the center of the diamond ring.

The entire castle trembled slightly, a flurry of dust falling, and a howling wind gushed from every door and window.

Shadows on the second floor intensified, as something seemed to be about to emerge from within.

Step, step, step.

The faint sound of footsteps on the stairs at this moment was incredibly clear, with Bai Lang, who was attempting to attack the glass jar again by driving the Feeding Snake technique, halting his action, eyes fixed intently in that direction.

A puppet’s hand first reached out from the shadow. The left hand also wore a diamond ring, which appeared oversized due to the puppet being only slightly larger than a standard one.

Followed then by the colorful hem of a Princess dress gliding down the stairs.

Describing it as a Princess hem might not be quite accurate; aside from the style resembling a lavish Princess gown, each piece of its fabric differed in color, size, and shape. It was as if cut from various Princess dresses and forcibly stitched together.

Step.

The "Princess" herself finally descended the stairs. Her arms, legs, eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, just like the gown, came from different sources. Traces of Snow White, the Little Mermaid, Princess Aisha, and others were distinctly visible.

Though each body part appeared rather attractive, their combination was incredibly bizarre and ugly, like stitched-together corpse pieces...
