The scene inside the instance was transmitted to the live stream room through the camera.
The audience had been curious about what would happen next. But at this moment, they all fell into deep thought at the sight of the mosaic entangled with Chi Ting.
After a brief silence, the barrage in the live stream room continued to scroll.
[I suddenly feel that our perspective is actually pretty good. At least, the mosaic brother can be recognized at a glance.]
[Huh? From this angle, is what I imagined happening?]
[Really… after you said this, I suddenly feel that this mosaic is inexplicably explicit.]
[So how did the mosaic recognize Chi Ting? It seems that these two knew each other’s identities as soon as they met. I thought there would be accidental injuries.]
[Maybe they have a tacit connection?]
[If this is a true tacit understanding then it is really amazing! Ahhh, what is going on with the mosaic brother? I really want to see what he looks like!]
[No matter what it looks like, there is definitely something greasy between these two people based on the atmosphere just now.]
“Ah, I seem to have seen something extraordinary.”
In the silence, a girl’s meaningful voice was heard.
The designer’s observation room had absolute authority and obviously wasn’t restricted by the mosaic like the live stream room. What happened in the instance fell into the eyes of the two people in front of the screen with incredible clarity.
As No 3 said this, she slowly lowered her eyes behind the black veil like she was shy about looking at this scene that wasn’t suitable for children. However, her peripheral vision was always locked on the two people. “It is indeed like you said last time. These two people have really gotten together. They actually have the leisure to do such a thing in the instance. As expected, the two of them aren’t ordinary people. I wonder if they really aren’t worried about being seen by the audience in the live stream room when doing this?”
The girl’s lightly smiling tone carried a type of condemnation for the adults’ lack of restraint. More importantly, it was clear she was deliberately saying these words to the man next to her.
As the words came out, it could be seen that the curve of No 7’s mouth, which had always been maintained, fell silently. His eyes remained on the screen without moving a step. The subtle tone of his voice became more and more intriguing. “It isn’t a good thing for a good child to peek at adults kissing, No 3.”
“But I can’t stop it if the adults insist on sending me the performance of this type of adult world.” No 3 smiled slightly, her ethereal eyes sweeping across No 7’s face before she let out a low sigh. “Didn’t Butler tell you that I’ve reached my rebellious stage recently? It is completely ineffective to use those boring rules and regulations of the human world on me. Seeing that you are so unwilling to listen to me mention this matter, I am suddenly curious about the subsequent development of these two people. No 7, if the future trend is correct, their ultimate target should be you. Isn’t it interesting? Who would’ve thought that the self-righteous No 7 would one day become a catalyst for the feelings of two humans…”
Her voice stopped abruptly as she felt the sudden fierce wind around her. The look in her eyes sank slightly, and the gorgeous umbrella made of black lace suddenly opened, blocking her accurately.
She glanced slightly sideways through the umbrella at the man. Then she smiled. “Are you angry? It has been a long time since I’ve seen you look so angry. Let me guess why. Isn’t it because you are curious to know when you will be able to kill Chi Ting completely? You want to ruin him so much, but you are angry because he kissed another man. You can’t do this, No 7. It might be normal for men to have a certain degree of possessiveness, but there is a big problem with the object of your possessiveness.”
“I can only say that you don’t understand the adult world, No 3.” No 7 narrowed his eyes slightly and turned his gaze back to the two figures fighting side by sight on the screen. He spoke in a very light voice, and the soft tone made it seem as if he was speaking to himself. “Sometimes only by destroying him can I make him belong to me completely, just like before.”
Such words made No 3 feel like she had heard the funniest joke. “Are you sure you have ever had him, No 7?”
After a brief silence, No 7 said slowly, “Of course. And in the future as well.”
No 3 laughed innocently. “Is that so?”
Inside the instance.
“Sneeze—!” Chi Ting couldn’t help sneezing, causing Yue Ren to look over. “I didn’t see you for so long just now. Did you catch a cold?”
Chi Ting shook his head. “It might be that Little Bird is looking for us.”
At this time, the two of them were leaning against the wall with their guns and gasping heavily. The corpses around them were piled up and filled almost the entire area. They were piled up in all directions and these identical modeled faces revealed an indescribable weirdness.
Before this, Chi Ting had never imagined that there would be a day when there would be such a large physical consumption.
But based on their current situation, he felt that such a physical loss might just come from the huge mental consumption of this experience hall.
In other words, there was a high probability that they all stayed in the original room from beginning to end and didn’t move half a step. However, their consciousness was sucked into another space by that device, causing them to have strong internal friction in the process of trying to control their consciousness.
As he found before, the process of killing ‘himself’ would make the death process of these monsters synchronously felt on his body. But having a companion shoot these monsters that turned into him could smoothly avoid experiencing such a death process. This meant that proper teamwork was crucial if they wanted to be less mentally attacked during this level.
The meeting with Yue Ren was undoubtedly very lucky.
It was just that even if they found a way to deal with this level, the overly large group of monsters still made their state start to decline after continuous battles.
Finally, the area was cleared. Chi Ting didn’t forget the reminder of the rules to avoid any omissions and carried out a final inspection.
After checking, it was found that he met with Yue Ren in the southernmost area.
Just before that, there was an even more spectacular mountain of corpses piled around what should be the entrance on the other side. It was obvious who had done this.
Compared to the direct shot to the heart when Chi Ting shot ‘himself’, this man was undoubtedly much more brutal when he attacked ‘himself.’ Forget trying to solve the other party in the least painful way. Just one glance showed that there was almost no intact corpse in the entire shocking scene.
It had to be known that all the pain of these injuries was applied to him at the same time.
To do this, how much did this person like to abuse himself?
This made Chi Ting involuntarily examine Yue Ren’s condition. Unexpectedly, the other person looked towards him and their eyes met.
In the blink of an eye, Yue Ren showed a knowing smile as if to say, ‘I knew you felt sorry for me again.’
Chi Ting was never reluctant to express his concern for others, but when he saw the man smiling like this, the question on his lips changed, and he said, “Everything here should be resolved. Hurry up and continue.”
Then he turned around and walked straight towards the two new doors that appeared not far away.
According to the game rules, it was better to finish the game and leave within an hour. Otherwise, given the mental damage caused by this game, they might really be kept in it forever.
Therefore, Chi Ting had almost no hesitation when making this choice.
He pushed gently, and the door on the right slowly opened.
At this moment, Chi Ting could feel an invisible force pulling him in.
In an instant, he fell into complete darkness. In the pitch-black environment, he slowly asked for confirmation. “Yue Ren?”
“I’m here.”
The man’s voice entered his ears. Chi Ting could tell that Yue Ren was not far behind him.
Chi Ting said, “Pay attention and follow.”
“Yes.”
After confirming the other person’s response, Chi Ting took two steps forward. He heard the footsteps following him and walked forward with confidence.
Groping around in the darkness was undoubtedly a long process.
For a moment, the only sound left in the silent atmosphere was the abrupt footsteps of the two people.
Chi Ting could probably sense that they were now in a corridor that led to nowhere. The darkness before them seemed to have no end. Only the sound of their footsteps echoed repeatedly in the empty environment.
Keep going and going.
This endless feeling undoubtedly formed a huge contrast with the fierce battle that was just experienced. Returning to such silence after a fight was even more tormenting to the mind.
At this moment, the existence of the footsteps following behind him seemed to have become a disguised support, at least proving that he wasn’t the only one moving forward.
However, Chi Ting could clearly capture that the footsteps falling into his ears had suddenly become more frequent.
His heart skipped a beat when he realized what this meant.
He stopped and looked back. All he saw was still endless darkness.
The people following behind him also stopped. It was obvious that Yue Ren had noticed it. His voice floated softly through the air. “Someone wants to join us.”
Chi Ting asked, “What are you going to do?”
Yue Ren thought for a moment before laughing softly. “Let’s see if they are well-behaved first?”
The conversation between the two people could clearly be heard in the surroundings. Other than that, there was no other sound.
It felt like they were the only ones around, but both of them were very clear about one thing—next to them, there were other unknown existences.
It wasn’t known if it was to prove to Yue Ren that they were well-behaved, but these ‘people’ stayed here like this, motionless and not making any moves.
Chi Ting’s gaze stayed on the darkness for a long time. If it wasn’t for the fact that the holographic device brought them into this space and they couldn’t use the system mall, he would’ve really wanted to buy a flashlight to take a good look.
But at this moment, he really couldn’t tell whether the thing that appeared was friend or foe. This meant he could only accept Yue Ren’s proposal for the time being.
Just as he was about to move forward, he suddenly felt Yue Ren behind him pulling at the corner of his clothes.
There was a hint of persuasion in the man’s voice as he spoke due to the faint smile. “The rules say that we need to take good care of our companions to prevent them from getting lost. It is so dark here. Just in case, why don’t we lead them?”
This person obviously had no real intention of asking for advice. Even before he finished speaking, he had already taken Chi Ting’s hand.
Chi Ting was slightly stunned when he felt the touch. He paused for a moment but didn’t shake it off. He held it and continued to move forward.
The still quiet environment had become vaguely lively due to the added footsteps.
For the time being, he couldn’t sense too much malice from these ‘people’. But as the two of them continued to move forward, one could feel that the originally thin sound of footsteps had gradually become denser.
Four, five, six…
In the darkness, more and more ‘people’ joined them.
The increasingly dense sound of footsteps was like a swarm of ants drilling into his ears and quickly spread through his body with a tingling sensation.
But it was still quiet, and no one made a sound.
Those ‘people’ just followed silently in the rear, watching them quietly.
The two people in the instance were relatively calm, but the audience in the live stream room seemed to be feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Sometimes, the more unknown something was, the more frightening it was.
In the live stream room that was completely engulfed in darkness, the rustling sound of footsteps seemed to spread through the bodies of all audience members with a tingling sensation. Waves of discomfort rushed to the brain one after another, making them feel uncontrollably numb.
They tried desperately to see what was around them, but the more they did so, the more nervous they became.
This was until a door finally appeared at the end of their field of view.
The faint blue light falling from the top became the only source of light around.
Chi Ting walked over quickly while pulling Yue Ren.
Just as they were approaching, there was a ‘click’ sound and the dark environment around them was finally completely bright.
Chi Ting almost instinctively retracted his hand. Then when he looked back and saw the surrounding situation clearly, he regretted his overly decisive action a second ago.
