Chapter Twenty-Two: The Temptation of "Meaninglessness"



What kind of face was that?

Bai Liang didn't know how to describe it, but he finally raised his head and looked over.

Just one glance sent chills down my spine.

The person looked like a muscle specimen without skin, with extremely strange-looking eyes. His whole body was pink, like newly grown fleshy buds, and even his capillaries were exposed and clearly visible.

His eyeballs bulged out in an abnormal position, looking at him like a manta ray in the deep sea. The two lenses rolled back and forth, making a nauseating sliding sound, like marbles covered in mucus.

Bai Liang didn't know what had happened in the past half hour, but this person was definitely not He Yu, because there was a line of subtitles on his body. This guy's ability was called Mutant, from Resident Evil 7.

He remained vigilant, reaching into his clothes, ready to use his skill card at any moment.

At this moment, Bai Liang's mind was exceptionally clear. He stared intently at the "monster" and thought about many things.

It cannot see itself.

The effect of [Emergency Escape] is still ongoing, but he doesn't know exactly how long it will last, and 252 didn't explain it clearly in the skill card either.

The person outside the tree hole must know that he was hiding here. As for the reason... he could only think that he had foolishly hummed a few lines of a song a few minutes ago. Damn it, Bai Liang now wished he could bite his tongue off. Why did he do such an stupid thing?

Right now, this person is standing outside the tree hole, patiently waiting for him to be exhausted before making his move and completing the massacre that should have ended long ago.

We can only use skill cards now.

A voice echoed in his mind. Yes, Bai Liang had decided to do this the moment he saw the monster, but then he was afraid. He only had three skill cards left, and once he used them all, he would have completely lost his trump card to save his life.

Consumables that have lost their value are useless. Even if He Yu is not interested in those skill cards, it doesn't mean that others are the same as him.

What other way is there for him to escape?

Just then, a raven flew in without warning from above the rainforest and landed on the edge of the tree hole.

It stared at the "monster" with a cold and ruthless gaze, then turned its head to look at Bai Liang.

Then, she let out a piercing scream.

"Oh dear, oh dear..." The hunter, who had been waiting for a long time, finally spoke. His voice was hoarse like that of a dying man. His head was flipped over and stuck inside, echoing in the tree hole with a chilling sound: "Your skill card time has finally run out."

Bai Liang got it wrong from the very beginning.

【Emergency Avoidance】 does not remove the opponent's line of sight during its effect, but rather grants immunity to all damage.

He has wasted his best chance to counterattack.

"I thought it was some kind of formidable character, but it turns out it's just a web crawler."

Fuck you!

Bai Liang leaped out of the tree hole where he was hiding and kicked the man in the head, but the man twisted his body as if by magic and dodged the attack.

Damn it, doesn't this thing have bones?

Having missed his target, Bai Liang knew that hiding the skill card at this point would be the death of him. He was about to take out the summoning card when, in the next second, he felt a weakness in his limbs and collapsed.

You see, the battle started quickly and ended just as quickly.

In any situation, people will fall into a state of hesitation, and a brief moment of hesitation can lead to irreversible consequences.

So this is why most people don't like teaming up: you can't guarantee what your teammates will do. Let's just call them teammates for now. Even though you'll eventually knock those idiots' heads open, spit in their saliva, and shake it in, what those morons will do is always an unknown.

This is exactly what 252 wanted: a relentless, illogical pursuit where everyone harbors absolute hostility towards any life that comes their way, forcing them to create more bloodshed and more death.

Just like game data that can be manipulated by others.

"My body has a poisonous membrane. Although the toxins on it are far from enough to kill you, they are enough to prevent you from using your skill cards."

A sticky arm crawled over and pinned Bai Liang's hand down. Its soft, snake-like texture quickly locked onto his throat.

In the chaos, Bai Liang didn't know how he struggled. He only felt as if his body had been thrown into a pool of cold water, getting colder and colder, and then... he found blood seeping from his face.

The intense, stinging pain felt as if someone had deliberately pressed a net against his face and was scraping it back and forth relentlessly.

……Wire?

Bai Liang didn't have time to think about this question. He knew something must have happened. At this moment, life and death were just a matter of a moment.

As long as there are people alive, new corpses will appear.

The next second, a gentle breeze blew by.

Behind the tree hollow, a thin, silken thread flew out and severed the man's entire carotid artery. He didn't realize it at first, until he fell into the bushes, clutching his neck, and then he noticed blood splattering from between his fingers.

Everything happened so fast. The man thrashed about on the ground like a catfish, struggling to grab something, thinking he might still have a chance to do something. But suddenly, the situation turned terrible—

But he ultimately failed to accomplish anything remarkable; his hand fell limp, and now, the disgusting deep-sea alien was completely dead.

The raven's screams drove everyone to their doom.

He Yu came out from another direction. He quickly examined the fallen corpse, squatted down and smashed the guy's head to pieces. It has to be said that the man's skull was quite hard. His fist got stuck for a moment, and his wrist stopped at the brain.
