It's finally out!

Looking at the grid diagram beneath her, Xia Linyin slowly let out a breath.

The six-tailed fox pulled her out of the mirror, while she simultaneously pulled the six-tailed fox into the mirror. It's unknown whether the six-tailed fox can successfully deceive Ichidō and stay by Ichidō's side from now on, but none of this matters to her anymore.

Xia Linyin looked at the square beside her. This was the last square. Xiao Li absolutely had to be in this square!

She changed back into a V-neck red dress and blood-red high heels. Xia Linyin tugged at her red dress, took a step, and walked into the square in front of her.

The surrounding scenery remained unchanged, except that the grid lines underfoot had all disappeared.

A stone chair appeared on the vast cement ground, and a man dressed in a black Zhongshan suit sat on it. The crisp stand-up collar clung to his fair neck, giving him an ascetic and stern appearance.

A giant dragon embroidered with gold thread spirals up from the trouser leg, wraps around the waist, and rests its head on the man's shoulder. The gold dragon embroidery is so lifelike that it looks just like a real dragon.

Especially those dragon eyes, which exuded a powerful and domineering aura, but compared to the overwhelming aura emanating from the man, the majestic and powerful golden dragon seemed to follow him in awe, like a beloved pet.

The man sat on the stone chair with his eyes lowered, holding a long knife in his hand, the tip of the knife pointing downwards on the ground, the blade gleaming white.

With deep-set eyes and a high nose bridge, the man's features were extremely handsome, without a single flaw. He was so perfect that he didn't seem real. He didn't need to make any movements; just sitting there, he could draw all attention and make everything around him pale in comparison.

Xia Linyin's heart skipped a beat, then began to pound violently, "Xiao Li!"

Long-held longing and worry transformed into excitement and ecstasy, overwhelming Xia Linyin like a tidal wave. So much so that she didn't notice anything amiss with the man, or perhaps she subconsciously ignored it due to some kind of repulsion.

Xia Linyin ran towards the man, but suddenly she felt a chill on her neck, and her steps stopped as if a pause button had been pressed.

The man remained motionless in that position, not even raising his eyes, a trickle of blood sliding down the tip of the knife and dripping onto the ground.

Blood gushed from her neck, and Xia Linyin fell straight to the ground with her eyes wide open. The glaring red blood meandered like a river below her neck, spreading and spreading like spilled red ink...

"Dear player, congratulations on entering the final square. Mission: Defeat the final boss guarding the square. Due to the vast difference in strength between the player and the final boss, each player has 3 chances to die."

"Dear player, you have died once and have 2 chances to die remaining."

The blood that had been flowing on the ground flowed back into Xia Linyin's body, the wound on her neck healed, time reversed, and everything returned to the moment when Xia Linyin had just entered the Ultimate Cube.

Xia Linyin stood still, raising her hand to slowly touch her neck, where the feeling of being cut by the cold blade still lingered.

The man's knife strike was lightning fast, without any hesitation or pause, swift, accurate, and ruthless!

Xia Linyin's gaze fell on the man's knife. The blade had smooth, crescent-shaped lines, and the hilt was engraved with exquisite and intricate patterns. The knife in the man's hand was exactly the same as the crescent-shaped blade!

Xia Linyin flipped her hand and took out a crescent-shaped blade. Her blade was still there, and the blade in the man's hand was also a crescent-shaped blade!

The image she saw in the first square flashed into Xia Linyin's mind. So this was what the ghost meant when he said she would be killed by the crescent blade?

As expected, the crescent blade could only unleash its full power in Li Luo's hands.

Xia Linyin felt a pang of pain in her heart. Was the man before her really Li Luo?

The man raised his eyes, his handsome face cold and indifferent, showing no reaction when he saw the crescent blade in Xia Linyin's hand.

Looking into the man's cold and ruthless eyes, Xia Linyin felt a chill run to her very bones, as if a large piece of her heart had been ripped out and was being filled with icy wind.

The man stood up, his figure tall and straight, his well-defined fingers gripping a knife as he walked step by step toward Xia Linyin.

"Li Luo, is that you?"

Xia Linyin's hand holding the knife trembled. She could see no affection in the man's eyes; he looked at her as if she were an inanimate object.

After the last game, was Xiao Li really fixed by the game?

He was completely turned into an NPC controlled by the game.

All memories were erased by the game. He didn't remember her, didn't remember any of their moments together, and completely forgot her.

Was it because he saved her that he exposed his weakness, which led to Xiao Li being fixed by the game?

Why, why did you save her!

Wouldn't it be better to just let her die like that?

Does he know that seeing him like this makes her heart feel like it's being cut by a knife, so painful that she can hardly breathe?

My life is worse than death!

"Li Luo!!!" Xia Linyin shouted with all her might.

She swayed twice, almost unable to stand.

The man exuded a chilling aura as he swung his blade at Xia Linyin. The cold light of the blade flashed, and the man's blade collided heavily with Xia Linyin's crescent-shaped blade.

The sharp blade sliced ​​off a strand of hair from Xia Linyin's cheek, and her hand split open, blood flowing down. She gritted her teeth and gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, bracing herself against the man's descending blade.

The man slowly pressed the knife down, his dark eyes devoid of any emotion!

Seeing the man's eyes, Xia Linyin gasped again. Her wrist froze as the man's knife sliced ​​across her chest, making a graceful arc in the air before piercing her abdomen.

The crescent blade in Xia Linyin's hand fell to the ground with a "thud." She glanced down at the blade that had pierced her stomach, then suddenly took a step forward.

"Hmm—"

The blade pierced through Xia Linyin's body, and the exposed part of the blade behind Xia Linyin was stained red with blood, with thick, dark red blood dripping out.

She raised her hand and touched the man's smooth cheek. "Li Luo, don't you remember me? Not even the slightest bit?"

Looking at Xia Linyin's face so close to his, the man's eyes remained unmoved, and he coldly drew his knife.

Xia Linyin's slender body lay in a pool of blood, her fingers twitching slightly before she closed her eyes.

"Dear player, you have died twice and have one chance to die remaining."

Xia Linyin stood not far away, looking at the man sitting motionless on the stone chair like a statue, her face calm.

Having been killed twice by men, Xia Linyin's heart was numb with pain.

She even wondered if the man in front of her might not be Li Luo.

No! This man can't be Li Luo! Li Luo would never treat her like this!
