This novel&...
22. The rabbit bites.
Upon hearing that someone was offering betting odds on this life-or-death battle, Pi Min couldn't help but check out the forum.
The 1:5 odds made her frown in displeasure. If she weren't still banned from speaking, she would have argued with the other party. Why did they think she was bound to lose?
Fortunately, the viewers in her live stream are all sensible people.
That guy who opened the betting must have lost a fortune. Doesn't he know what the guardian robots produced by Huanxing mean?
[Foolish crocodile! Underestimating women and children will lead to a terrible death!]
...
Since the other party doesn't think highly of her, she has no reason to let go of such a good opportunity to take advantage of them.
She bet everything on herself to win, putting all her points on the line. She even planned out how she would spend her points if she won.
As a result, the other party not only rejected her bet, but also secretly adjusted her odds to 1:1.
It's really boring if even one or two people can't afford to play.
What she didn't know was that the "God of Gamblers Reborn" who opened the betting pool was dumbfounded when he saw the points she had sent.
After glancing at the leaderboard and then at the points in front of him, he immediately realized that the top scorer had placed the bet himself.
He's just a nobody on the leaderboard, trying to make a little money. But if the big shots play like this and actually win, with odds of 1:5, he couldn't afford to lose even if he sold himself!
Not wanting to lose everything, and even less wanting to offend the big shots, I could only quickly adjust the odds and then apologize via private message.
Seeing so many people betting on "Wild Uncle" to win, but unable to actually win, Pi Min couldn't help but get angry.
Although the viewers in the live stream were optimistic about her, their reason for being optimistic about her was because of the existence of the egg.
Realizing that if she didn't do something soon, her position as the top-ranked player would become a laughing stock, she immediately turned cold and said to Egg, "Egg, let me handle things when they arrive!"
Egg's little face scrunched up in disapproval: "But, Mommy..."
“You don’t need to deal with that kind of trash.” Pi Min shook his head, not letting her continue. “I’ll only intervene if I really can’t handle you.”
"Be good, listen to me."
No matter how lifelike Egg is, it's still a robot and can't disobey its master's orders. Although it looked reluctant, it still obediently nodded.
Having made up his mind, Pi Min went to the toolbox and retrieved his murder knife.
It was a 38-centimeter-long and 7-centimeter-wide wood-chopping knife, which her parents had left her for self-defense. She always carried it with her, only for intimidation purposes, but she never expected it to become a deadly weapon.
Before the crocodile arrived, she took out a whetstone and began sharpening the knife, stroke by stroke.
It was a sharp weapon to begin with, and after being honed, it became even more razor-sharp and intimidating, inspiring awe in those who beheld it.
While she was busy admiring the weapon in her hand, the viewers in the live stream went wild.
[Wait, is this rabbit serious? Trying to kill the crocodile all by itself?]
Is she stupid? Why not use a perfectly good guard robot and instead do it herself?
It's good to practice; anyway, the little robot is there to back me up, I won't die.
Why isn't the crocodile here yet? I can't wait to see them fight!
...
That crocodile was indeed cunning; it waited until 2 a.m., when people are most tired, before finally appearing.
Unfortunately, the opponent used a residence fusion card. The moment the fusion was activated, the entire house trembled, an effect far more powerful than an alarm clock.
Pi Min, who had been getting sleepy while waiting, suddenly perked up and was no longer sleepy at all.
She immediately gripped the machete in her hand and donned the title of "Human Decomposer" at the first opportunity.
When the tremors stopped, a new door suddenly appeared next to the door that originally led to the storage room.
The door was exactly the same as the door leading to the storeroom, the only difference being that there was a miniature version of the sanatorium icon above the door frame.
Pi Min breathed a sigh of relief. She had been wondering what would happen, but it turned out that this was how the fusion would work.
Now she just needs to wait patiently for the "wild uncle" to appear.
This is her home turf, the advantage is mine.
Judging from the "wild uncle's" previous behavior, he is not a patient person, and coupled with his natural contempt for women, he simply doesn't want to waste any more time on Pimin.
The door clicked open almost the instant it appeared.
A man of medium build emerged from behind the door, carrying a sharp knife and wearing a terrifying demon mask.
Because of the mask, Pi Min couldn't see the other person's face, but the other person let out a contemptuous sneer the moment they saw her.
As she stepped out of the room, the other person didn't rush at her immediately. Instead, they slowed their pace and walked slowly towards her, step by step.
"Tap-tap-tap-" The soles of the shoes struck the ground, making a series of heavy, muffled sounds.
How much do they underestimate her? Do they think such a simple trick can scare her? With such a knack for creating atmosphere, this guy is more suited to making horror movies than participating in a survival game.
As the other person walked towards him step by step, Pi Min's eyes had already scanned the other person from head to toe.
I didn't intend to kill anyone when I wore the "Human Decomposer" title before, but now I realize that this title can actually help people decompose human bodies.
Even though there were clothes between them, it felt as if their hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys were right in front of them. She even knew miraculously where to stab them to kill them and where to stab them to injure them but not kill them.
Seeing that the other person had been dawdling for a long time and was still several steps away, Pi Min gradually lost patience, picked up his wood-chopping knife, and charged forward.
"Do you feel a sense of accomplishment from harming disabled elderly people? Since you're here, you might as well not go back."
Everyone thought she was a gentle and harmless rabbit, but no one knew that the first person she killed was still buried in the garbage dump of the underground city.
Why would someone with such a good temper like her kill someone?
She remembered.
The man was critically ill and she went to great lengths to buy him a treatment from the black market, but unexpectedly, she was targeted.
The other party followed her all the way up to the garbage mountain, pulled out a dagger and demanded that she hand over the healing potion.
So, faced with the choice between letting the man she loved die and letting a stranger die, she decisively chose to let the stranger die.
The man thought that dealing with a little girl who collects trash would be a piece of cake, but he never dreamed that he would kick a hornet's nest. The moment he sensed the murderous intent in her eyes, he knelt down and begged for mercy, tears streaming down his face.
"I don't want the healing potion anymore, I don't want it anymore, please don't kill me!"
She couldn't bear the risk of being hunted down for revenge, so she slashed the man's neck with a sharp knife.
It wasn't until then that she realized that the blood spurting out when the carotid artery was cut could actually be a meter high.
She was glad she had acted decisively at the time. Later, she learned that the man's brother was actually a minor leader in the Fei Lian Gang. After the man died, the gang members dug three feet into the ground, vowing to avenge him.
Unfortunately, countless times they ran past her, but no one even gave her a second glance.
Don't mess with a rabbit; even a rabbit will bite when cornered. It might even kill someone, and no one would ever guess that it was the murderer.
With a fierce chop of the machete, the first blow struck the man's hand holding the knife, disarming him. The next blow was aimed squarely at the man's neck.
"laugh--"
Before the man could even react, the blood spurting from his neck had already stained the ceiling red.
Seeing the man crippled in an instant, Pi Min breathed a sigh of relief.
No wonder psychopaths often have some degree of path dependence.
Killing someone using the same method is indeed time-saving, labor-saving, and, moreover, enjoyable!
The feeling of adrenaline and dopamine surging is intoxicating.
The man, clutching his bleeding neck, slowly collapsed to the ground in disbelief.
That cold, indifferent gaze, that clean and efficient technique…
"You...you've killed someone?!" he struggled to speak, enduring the excruciating pain.
Pi Min sneered: "Otherwise, how do you think I got the aura of 'Human Decomposer'?"
As blood gushed forth, the man's life force began to ebb away, and the expression on his face finally froze on endless regret.
If God gave him another chance, he would never dare to provoke this terrifying figure again.
Once she was sure the man was dead, Pi Min kicked away the dagger he had dropped, squatted down, and used the man's clothes to wipe her own wood-chopping knife.
In her past life, a writer she admired once said: "To lose humanity is to lose a lot; to lose animality is to lose everything."
If possible, she would certainly like to be a peaceful rabbit for the rest of her life, but unfortunately, the world doesn't allow it.
The scene of the rabbit killing the crocodile with two machetes must have been incredibly shocking to the viewers in the live stream.
Even though Pi Min had the foresight to lower the volume of the voice-over in the bullet comments early on, she was still getting a headache from the noise.
[Rabbit, you... so, Cat...]
That was terrifying! Ahhhhhh...
[I was just spacing out. Can anyone tell me what happened? How did the crocodile die?]
One strike to disarm, one strike to kill, ahhhhhh...
I bet on the rabbit to win before the bookmaker adjusted the odds, it was 5 to 1, I'm rich, hahaha...
[Damn, how come this crocodile is so useless? The rabbit is half a head shorter than him, and he still managed to get killed?]
...
Pi Min doesn't mind people proactively delivering points, supplies, or even accommodations to her door, but she hates people who lack boundaries. If this happens every ten days or so, she'll be driven crazy.
To prevent a similar situation from happening again, she decided to give the crocodile a good warning while its body was still warm.
So, covered in blood, she deliberately faced the viewers in the live stream and revealed a chilling smile.
"Does anyone else want to kill me? Come on, I'm waiting!" As she spoke, the blood on her face was still wet, dripping down her cheeks, her eyes filled with indifference to life and self-confidence.
Seeing this, the live stream chat exploded again.
[That smile, Bunny is killing me, ahhhhh...]
[Someone actually looks down on the top-ranked player? Since the game's launch, has any player ever truly earned that top spot?]
[Pass this message down: The top-ranked person wants someone to come and kill her!]
[Pass this down: anyone who tries to send someone to her door will be killed!]
...
As expected of viewers of survival games, some people can still make fun of the scene despite its gory nature.
Pi Min shook his head and had the system retrieve the "Wild Uncle's" corpse.
As the bloodstains on her body disappeared and the room became clean again, her tense nerves finally relaxed.
This game is truly malicious towards players. Killing a player allows you to inherit everything they own.
Pimin was pleasantly surprised to find that after killing the crocodile, she not only gained its points and resources, but also acquired ownership of the sanatorium.
After the crocodile died, she automatically became the owner of the residence fusion card, and whether the door opened or closed was entirely up to her.
It was late at night, and there was no rush to explore the sanatorium. She yawned and prepared to go to sleep first.
Surprisingly, even though she was yawning repeatedly, the viewers in the live stream were still very energetic.
[Sleep? Forget sleeping! Let's get up and party!]
How can you sleep after just killing someone?
[Rabbit, wake up! Let's explore the sanatorium! I want to see the new map!]
...
Pi Min ignored her, grabbed Dandan, turned off the light, and went to sleep.
