Chapter 175
At the beginning, the Chen twins gradually entered the players' field of vision due to the reputation of their exotic team.
Before the two became famous, some people joked that the twins were chosen to join the curious team only because of King Yewang's special hobby.
After all, apart from their slender figures and identical pretty faces, which can arouse abnormal desires in people, they have nothing else to offer.
The curiosity of the four major teams ranked in the Gambler's Game Ranking is not just for the Night King to satisfy his desire to collect special talents.
Even the Berserker Team, which brings together many top Block players, can only rank behind Curiosity.
Not to mention that behind the Madman are the Chi Que Team, where the King of Hearts is located, and the radical Xing Heng Team, led by the Queen of Spades and the Flower Umbrella.
During his heyday, Lieqi once tied with the number one ranked Demon Fang on his own.
The second-ranked Black Crow has always been the points god, crushing other teams with honor points.
The captain of the Black Crows, Raven, is also on good terms with the Night King. In essence, there is not much difference between the two, who comes first and who comes later.
It is precisely because of their reputation for curiosity that they have produced one genius after another, and the Chen twins are no exception.
The rise of the two was beyond the Night King's expectations, especially his younger brother Chen Yan, who gave him a complete surprise.
Strictly speaking, the Chen twins are not real players, but half-human, half-NPC beings.
Like the knight Jack beside the King of Hearts, they are special cards in the hands of their masters and absolutely obedient warriors.
When the Night King met the Chen twins, Chen Miao had already died, his head and body separated, and he was dead beyond death.
Chen Yan was slightly better off than his brother, as he only had a broken arm.
Perhaps out of sympathy, or just for fun, the Night King saved the two men.
A special prop card has bound the lives of the Chen twins together ever since.
The younger brother becomes an apostle card in the hand of the Night King, and in return, the older brother can share his younger brother's life and continue to survive.
They are both players and NPCs in the gambler's game.
Among the Chen twins, only the younger brother Chen Yan has the player's identity card, while the older brother Chen Miao has the prop card itself, called the Ring of Eternity.
The Ring of Eternity can resurrect blood-related brothers, sisters, or fathers and sons. After using it, the two can share life.
However, this is not the most terrifying thing about this card. As a god-level Eternal Ring, it also has a unique passive bond.
Whenever his younger brother Chen Yan gains new abilities, his older brother Chen Miao will gain corresponding mutant abilities.
The abilities acquired by the former and the latter are absolutely not in the same field.
Having a card of this nature and such an unsolvable passive ability undoubtedly paves a bright road for the rise of the Chen twins.
You get one card, but you gain two completely different abilities. The Chen twins have a symbiotic relationship and are complementary to each other.
This is why Chen Miao is extremely fast, can teleport at will, and create destructive space.
The reason why Chen Yan, although performing mediocrely, was able to crush Yi Tu in the spiritual field.
They are not real players, but a god-level card held in the hands of the Night King.
The god level of the god level is enough to kill any god level.
Even though Yi Tu possessed divine consciousness and the Wind God's Binding, he was still powerless to resist Chen Yan's mental pollution.
Chen Yan’s spiritual pollution is a densely packed poisonous web, and beneath each thread are countless mouths gnawing at his soul.
They erode people's will, create feelings of despair, and produce abnormal pain that ordinary people cannot bear.
Especially for players who have spiritual cards, this pain will be more acute and unbearable.
The moment a person is touched by a pollution source, he or she will lose all ability to move and become like a disabled person.
Once one loses his mind, he will not be able to control the release of any Apostle Cards, nor can he use any weapons.
The only thing that can be used to save one's life is the passively triggered Acolyte Card, but most people are not lucky enough to get a God-level Acolyte Card, which is exactly the kind that can remove mental pollution.
Players who have been mentally polluted by Chen Yan usually have no choice but to wait for death.
Most of them will die quickly in the agony, which may take a few minutes or even tens of seconds.
The collapse of the divine cards and the disappearance of weapons and strange beasts are the first signs of death.
After this, the player will involuntarily shed tears, twitch, and exhibit other behaviors.
Until finally, they go completely crazy and harm themselves to hasten the end of their lives.
Chen Yan was too familiar with the scene before him, so what if it was the Queen of Hearts of the throne player?
He did not stop Yi Tu from snooping into Chen Miao's memory, and even deliberately let him know all their past.
But so what? No one can come out of his spiritual pollution alive, especially Yi Tu who is extremely sensitive to spiritual transmission.
In the empty hall, a few candles lit up a dim light, and everyone's shadows were reflected on the wall, being infinitely stretched.
There was no shadow behind the Night King, but that didn't stop him from appreciating Yi Tu's extremely painful and twisted appearance.
The man took out his pocket watch with great interest, squatted in front of Yitu, and counted the time with a smile on his face.
"Ayan, how long has the most patient person you have ever seen lasted?" asked the Night King.
Chen Yan thought about it and gave an accurate number.
"Six minutes and nine seconds."
The Night King was a little surprised and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"That's quite a long time. After all, less than two minutes have passed."
"Our lovely Red Queen, why is she crying so hard?"
The man reached out and tried to pry open Yitu's fingers that were covering her face so that he could enjoy the view more pleasantly.
However, he was unable to turn it.
Even though he was in so much pain that he lost consciousness, Yitu still had a glimmer of consciousness.
He was very strong and covered his distorted face tightly with his hands to prevent the Night King from trampling on his last bit of dignity.
After several attempts, he still failed to get what he wanted. Instead of getting angry, the man laughed. He grabbed Yi Tu's hair and pulled it back hard.
Even though this little bit of pain was nothing to Yi Tu at the moment, the Night King knew that this man had not completely lost his mind.
"It has come to this, and you still want to go against me?"
The man's voice was so soft that if you didn't listen carefully you would think it was a lover's whisper.
Only Chen Miao knew that once Jin Zirui showed this expression, it would definitely be a sign of going crazy.
Facts proved that what Chen Miao thought was right. After the Night King stood up, he still had a warm smile on his face, but his eyes were full of sinisterness and hostility.
He doesn't like hypocritical people, especially those like the Queen of Hearts, who possess such beautiful qualities as strength, bravery, and intelligence.
This made him feel extremely sick, almost nauseous.
In such a dark environment, where everyone is a rotten root in the mud, why would a pure white lotus grow out?
Jin Zirui couldn't figure it out, but it didn't matter, after all, that was where his fun lay.
How can one completely destroy a person? It must not be physical torture or simply inflicting pain.
Instead, it makes goodness a sin and beauty a tragedy.
The Night King thought about it, and his eyes happened to pass over the ten players who were silent as a mouse. The broken arm of one of them was still slowly dripping blood.
The man suddenly laughed out loud. He asked Chen Miao to forcibly straighten the Red Queen's arm. He didn't know whether he broke the man's fingers in the process.
But he did hear a crisp sound. Chen Miao hesitated for a few seconds and then called Chen Yan for help.
The two finally pulled the Red Queen's hand off, and the Night King stepped on his right hand.
"I know you can hear me. You are more stubborn than I thought."
The man's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, loud enough for the players in the hall to hear clearly.
"Don't you like helping others? Now I'm going to show you that what you believe in is nothing but a joke."
The Night King turned to look at the ten people, among whom were players who had been saved by Yitu. He smiled and said:
"The Queen of Hearts has saved many of you. Now I'm giving you a chance to repay me."
"Exchange your own arms for his. Don't worry, I only want one arm. I won't really hurt your life."
As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Ling and the other people who were saved by Yi Tu, their expressions changed immediately.
The Night King watched the scene with great interest, "Anyone willing?"
No one spoke, and no one dared to stand up.
The smile on Ye Wang's face deepened, and his eyes fell on Gu Ling, who was wearing jeans.
"The Queen of Hearts saved you from those evil people. Don't you want to repay her?"
Gu Ling's lips trembled slightly. The Red Queen's convulsions in pain were still before her eyes. She suppressed her fear and said:
"I don't feel like I owe him anything."
"It's true that he saved me, but I've already repaid the favor!"
"I gave him the reward points according to his request and opened the necessary doors. You should be very clear about this."
Although Gu Ling's voice was shaking, she remained calm and every word she said made sense, so the Night King couldn't find any fault with her.
"You are really good at speaking and avoiding the important issues." The Night King waved his hand helplessly, "I will reluctantly let you go."
Gu Ling immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Her words seemed reasonable, but in fact, they did not stand up to scrutiny.
It is true that the Queen of Hearts has done her a favor, but people are selfish. Who would harm their own interests to be a good person?
The Night King pointed at the thin man in the corner and grinned.
"Although you only have one arm left, if it weren't for the Queen of Hearts, you would have died long ago."
"Don't you want to save your benefactor? I remember you said..."
"I'm willing to do anything for him. Are you serious about that?"
Xiaodao, who was called by the man, was shaking like a shuttle, and the sweat on his forehead slowly slid down.
"I...I...I don't want to die! I really don't want to die! I really can't save him, I only have one arm..."
"Can you please replace him with someone else? Besides, he saved me with great difficulty, he definitely doesn't want to see me die for him... For my benefactor, I can't do this!"
Xiaodao couldn't find a decent excuse, so she could only confuse right and wrong, making the man laugh.
The Night King stepped firmly on Yitu's right hand and said softly:
"Did you hear that? He said he wouldn't save you, but it was all for your own good."
Yitu couldn't make a sound because his tongue was bleeding from being bitten by himself. His eyes rolled back and he was only lucid once in a while.
The Night King knew that he was still holding on and had not truly collapsed. Someone who had truly collapsed would let out a heart-wrenching scream like a madman, which was very miserable.
The man glanced at his pocket watch and saw that only a little over four minutes had passed.
He quickly put away his watch, knowing that the Queen of Hearts could not hold out for long, and that this game was only fun if the Red Queen was awake.
Jin Zirui waved to Xiaodao and said with a smile:
"Since you're not willing to sacrifice your arm in return, how about this."
The man took the weapon handed to him by Chen Yan. It was not a machete or any sharp weapon, but a very blunt hammer.
"If you smash his arm with this, I'll let you go."
The Night King was still laughing when he said this, but Xiaodao couldn't help feeling cold all over when he saw it.
"Why, you don't want to?" The smile on the man's face faded, and his eyes were cold.
Xiaodao was pulled forward by the people in front of him. He had no other choice and almost choked with sobs:
"I do, I do, don't kill me!"
With only one arm, he took the hammer from Chen Yan's hand. It was very heavy.
He gritted his teeth, endured the discomfort in his heart, and walked up to Yitu.
The Night King looked at his deathly pale face and said in a kind voice:
"Don't be so discouraged. Even though he saved you, didn't he still cut off your arm?"
"Don't forget, he's the Queen of Hearts. He could clearly tell the difference between the gates of life and death, but he deliberately kept silent. Not only did he cause you to lose an arm, but he also deliberately pretended to be a good person."
As the Night King spoke every word, Xiaodao's expression changed from despair to shock, and then to undisguised hatred.
The man looked very satisfied and added:
"He is not your benefactor, but your enemy."
"Xiaodao, I'm talking about smashing it. You only have one chance, you have to seize it."
The Night King patted Xiaodao's shoulder meaningfully, then stepped aside to enjoy the wonderful scene.
Xue Chang was standing until his feet were numb without even noticing it. Although he could be considered to have acted recklessly, it was the first time he felt what it meant to kill someone and destroy their heart.
Xiaodao dragged the hammer to the front of the Red Queen. The man's mouth and chin were covered in bright red blood, and his eyes were also blind.
Even if he smashes it down, he probably won't wake up.
This thought just flashed through Xiaodao's mind, and then he raised the hammer without hesitation and smashed it down hard.
And at this moment, the man suddenly turned his head to look at Xiaodao. There was no more passionate emotion in his deep brown eyes, only a slight glint of water.
The eyes looked at him timidly, with an unclear pleading tone.
In an instant, Xiaodao suddenly felt that the man must be afraid too.
Despite this trance, the hammer did not miss at all.
At first, the fair skin only turned red for a moment without bleeding, but as the hammers came down one after another, the skin tore open, the bones shattered, and the body became a bloody mess.
Xiaodao's initial fear gradually turned into calmness. He looked straight into the man's eyes which were as dead as a pool of water.
The Night King was right, that man was indeed still conscious.
He didn't know that in order to humiliate and trample on Yi Tu, the Night King asked Chen Yan to relax his mental pollution of him.
It is just to make Yitu feel truly disheartened and completely hopeless.
Yitu watched Xiaodao smash his right arm. In order to ensure that he completed the Night King's task, the thin man symbolically gave his arm a few more hits even though his arm had already rotted into pulp.
For some reason, Yitu suddenly wanted to laugh.
It's all his fault that things have come to this.
Those useless and unnecessary kindness, those reserved and damned sympathies, were all caused by him to create the current situation.
If he had not been so reluctant and left behind all kinds of troubles, the Night King would not have had the opportunity to insult him to this extent.
He was wrong from the beginning. Plum Blossom King actually taught him a lesson.
Everyone clearly knows and recognizes the rules of this world, but he is the only one who still dreams of changing them.
It is extremely foolish to overestimate one's own abilities.
The Night King walked up to Yi Tu with a smile. He stepped on Yi Tu's cheek and said:
"Look at you, why are you being so stubborn with me?"
"You are worse than a useless dog now."
Yitu smiled, and his pupils couldn't stop contracting violently. That was the signal that Chen Yan wanted to kill him.
He did not resist, but his face twitched and his lips trembled as he tried hard to utter a few words.
The Night King squinted his eyes, trying to make out his mouth shape, wondering if he was begging for mercy.
However, Yitu did not beg for mercy, he only said two words.
Thanks.
A trace of surprise flashed across the Night King's face. Before he could react, Chen Miao's terrified cry rang in his ears.
"No! A Yan!"
Chen Yan? Jin Zirui subconsciously looked up and saw Chen Yan suddenly covering his heart with both hands, an incredible expression on his face, and his body fell heavily to the ground.
Hearing the roar of the Dragon God Hantian and Xiaodao's miserable screams as she was burned by flames, the Night King frowned and retreated.
The Wind God's Binding reappeared, and the huge vortex it created contained terrifying power. The ten players fled without a second thought.
However, before they could struggle, they were enveloped by a huge golden space, and in just an instant, they were all crushed into meat paste.
Chen Miao stood in mid-air, looking expressionlessly at the Red Queen lying on the ground. He formed seals with his hands and the space was falling rapidly, determined to crush her.
Even at this moment, Yitu's face remained calm.
If Chen Yan dies, Chen Miao will definitely fight him to the death.
There was no 100% chance that he would survive, but if by chance he could survive, he wanted to see Jiang Hanyu again.
But unfortunately, this wish is probably impossible.
Yi Tu held on to the last bit of consciousness and let the Wind God's Binding tightly surround himself to resist.
Although he knew that the Wind God's Binding, as an offensive equipment, had very low defensive capabilities.
Seeing that the golden space was about to crush down, Yi Tu's vision became blurred and he could not see the scene clearly.
He blinked a few times with difficulty, and suddenly something fell from the sky and landed in front of him.
"Yitu!" The man's voice was familiar and extremely urgent.
It’s Jiang Hanyu.
A second before Yitu lost consciousness, he subconsciously raised his hand to catch the feathers falling from the air.
It's white.
He remembered what he had once asked the man, why do your wings never turn white?
At that time, Jiang Hanyu hugged him, kissed his forehead, and explained:
It is easy to become a Fallen Angel, but it is difficult to become a guardian Fiery God.
Before you appeared, I had no weaknesses, after you appeared, I prayed to be your God.
