Chapter 62

Chapter 62: Chapter 61: "Su Ming’an, You’ve Won...The eyes were not a fatal spot, different from the previous mechanical woman.

Su Ming’an contemplated this, but he only had two more charges for spatial displacement, and he had lost the opportunity to assassinate again.

Without the hindrance of the threads, Eli’s movements were so fast they were almost impossible to catch with the naked eye. In the next moment, he actually bypassed the clone and shot directly in front of Su Ming’an!

The bloody scent from those claws was so close, Su Ming’an lifted his eyelids, and a meteor-like blue light flashed through his eyes as he released a mentality attack in an instant!

Eli’s figure stiffened in place.

The clone couldn’t make it back in time, and Su Ming’an had two choices: to try to escape backward or to verify his guess.

He chose to advance.

In the next moment, he directly moved towards his opponent, placing his hand on the opponent’s abdomen and pouring all his mana into that round belly in an instant!

The opportunity to attack... only came once.

In the next moment, he saw the leaping numbers, blood red.

The light in Eli’s eyes vanished instantly.

Like a popped balloon, his swollen figure began to deflate, and as he fell, the clone’s sword pierced through his skull, out came a green viscous liquid.

...The weak point is in the abdomen, but not in the eyes or heart? Sёarch* The Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Su Ming’an thought of something.

Several clusters of blue light emerged from Eli’s body.

"I don’t want this," Noel said first, pointing at the Crimson Claw, "It’s too ugly, I don’t like it. And that necklace, I don’t like that either."

Su Ming’an was indeed missing a necklace, so he mentally commanded his clone to drag it directly to the equipment bar. Three points of agility were life-saving for him when in "Shadow" state. He threw the equipment repair stones and mucus directly to Noel, even though the distribution seemed somewhat uneven, the other party truly didn’t want them.

Not even the clone had mastered Combat Mastery, so he could only keep the Crimson Claw for now. He couldn’t use claws, but a Blue Level weapon should sell for quite a bit once back.

They were dividing the loot when suddenly, looking up, the cheering audience in the stands disappeared in an instant.

At the same time, the gate remained open in front of them, seemingly beckoning them to the other side.

"Let’s go," Su Ming’an said as he walked forward first.

And after passing through that door, they saw two female players coming from the other side.

A deafening roar erupted in an instant, and it was only then that they realized they had entered another Colosseum after leaving the first.

The four male players and two female players were looking at each other across the statue of a mechanical woman, and the atmosphere turned somewhat tense for a moment.

And then, in the next moment, a clattering, rumbling noise came from above.

A man in a white lab coat walked out from the platform—it was Bai Xiong, the ruler of White City, who had created many bionic clones of himself. He was leaning against the high fence, watching the Colosseum below with the poise of a ruler.

"Welcome—you, my dear outsiders," Bai Xiong laughed heartily. "Why won’t you follow the method I provided and become partners with a lovely bride? That would clearly be much more relaxed and joyful than now."

The group didn’t answer, instead, they just stared coldly at him.

"Nuoliya... My dear Nuoliya." Suddenly, the man tilted his body, addressing Nuoliya below with an affectionate call: "Why... You shouldn’t be standing there. Come, come up here, stand with me... You should be a ruler like me, looking down on everything, not in a place where you need to hold a knife."

...Nuoliya.

As soon as the name from the experimental diary appeared, everyone followed his gaze to one of the two female players, a girl with sapphire-blue eyes and porcelain-white skin, who was looking back at Bai Xiong’s gaze, her hand holding a silver-white blade.

"I am not your tool." Nuoliya held her chin high: "I am not the Mother Goddess, nor am I the city’s administrator, and I hate you."

Bai Xiong, unfazed by her words, seemed to have grown accustomed to her indifference. He shifted his gaze downward slowly, noticing Su Ming’an and the others:

"...Alright. Now comes the most important segment—since you’re not willing to come up for the moment, it’s fine. Once everything is over... I will personally welcome you up..." Bai Xiong spread his arms, his smile growing warmer: "So, my dear outsiders—since you chose to kill me in the hotel and disrupt our cosy script of men and women falling in love, it means... you are ready to face all the wickedness... "

"What do you want us to do?" Qin Ze asked, twirling a flower rope in his hand and not raising his head.

"It’s simple, isn’t it?" Bai Xiong placed a finger to his lips: "Ever heard the story of the male and female mantis?"

Su Ming’an’s expression shifted slightly.

The female mantis, at the top of the food chain, chooses to eat the male mantis to replenish her nutrients for better offspring development.

"My rules are slightly altered," Bai Xiong said with a smile: "If a bride player kills any male player, she wins. For the groom players, as long as you can move one of the bride players and she agrees to ’become your bride’ without attacking you, you win—of course, her choice not to kill you means she has to opt to kill another groom, or voluntarily withdraw..."

"No, that’s not right. The bride players’ rule is also to choose a ’groom’, isn’t it?" Qin Ze stopped playing with the flower rope and stared at the two girls: "And Nuoliya shouldn’t count as a player; she’s a character that appears in the story backdrop..."

He felt a pat on his shoulder, and then saw the pity in his clone’s eyes:

"What peaceful rules? A bride choosing a groom, a groom choosing a bride?" The clone spread his hands: "It’s never been that way, Qin Ze. Did you think this is some kind of matchmaking show that brought you specially to pair up?"

"If I’m not wrong, the bride player... from the very beginning was supposed to kill the groom players to win," Noel said, casting his eyes down: "But the groom players didn’t know this at all. If we hadn’t chosen to take action against Bai Xiong, waiting in the room would just bring us face-to-face with cold blades. As for Nuoliya..." He looked over: "There’s no rule that states a player must be a human from Zhai Xing... The presence of high-dimensional beings proves this point. Every world we enter could potentially be real."

Noel picked up his short sword—making the bride players sacrifice themselves was clearly out of the question. Such a task was disgustingly vile. Rather than forcing them to become his ’brides,’ it would be much cleaner to defeat them directly.

Upon seeing these three male players for the first time, Su Style was stunned.

Even though she was mentally prepared, when seeing in person what only existed as "artwork" on a screen, a feeling of virtual fantasy bloomed in her heart.

Upon hearing the rules and seeing the players before her wielding weapons, she immediately spoke up:

"Wait, Su Ming’an." Her gaze turned towards the clone, her voice steady, not at all like a fan meeting a celebrity: "I volunteer to become your ’bride,’ You’ve won."

The clone looked at her, slightly taken aback.

"Such rules are meant to make us fight each other. I’m not willing. You are my Lighthouse; you must make it to the end." Su Style spoke, her beautiful eyes shining brightly: "I’m happy to see you. You’ve won."
