Hearing the man's words, Shen Youyou seemed to have anticipated something, her face instantly lost all color, and she stepped back in panic, but there was a wall behind her and she couldn't escape at all.
Seeing the tip of the knife getting closer and closer to her, she screamed and stretched out her hand to push it away: "No--!!"
A red light flashed in Bai Jingmo's eyes, and Shen Youyou froze instantly. Her pupils trembled violently, but her body could not move at all.
"puff---"
The sound of a knife piercing the skin was heard in the air. The pain was infinitely stretched and amplified at this moment. Time suddenly became extremely long, as if a worm was drilling deeper and deeper into the heart. The burning pain made every second extremely torturous. The soul seemed to be torn in half, and the nerves seemed to emit sharp struggling explosions.
It’s so hot…it hurts——! !
Shen Youyou wanted to scream, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't make any sound. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and the smile of the man in front of her looked even more terrifying and cold at this moment.
She looked at the man in front of her with pleading eyes, trying to arouse a little sympathy from him, but the man just chuckled and then penetrated her mercilessly.
Shen Youyou's breath was choked, and her body regained its independent movement, but what followed was endless pain. She fell to the ground with a painful look and wailed: "Ahhhhhhh——!"
Countless streams of blood rushed out of his chest and flowed all over the ground.
Her skin became dry, cracked and wrinkled like the bark of a thousand-year-old tree. Shen Youyou lay on the ground, curled up. Her originally beautiful face no longer looked human, and the fangs revealed when she opened her mouth became more hideous and terrifying.
Bai Jingmo didn't look at her, but stared at the blood coagulating on the blade. A red light flashed in his eyes. He took out the ruby that Yu Li had given him before from his pocket, and then dripped the blood into it.
In an instant, the ruby became more and more dazzling, especially dazzling in the dark corridor.
The sticky blood on the ground gradually spread, approaching the soles of the shoes little by little. Seeing this, the man took a step back. He stared at the gem in his hand, and no one knew what he was thinking on his face.
"Bo Jingmo..."
Jiang Xi's tentative voice came from the side. He looked up. The blood-red eyes made the three people's hearts tremble. They tacitly looked away, not daring to look at Bai Jingmo.
Lina and Shen Youyou are both dead, so will they be the next?
Jiang Xi's eyes fell on the gem in the man's hand, and she was undecided.
The mission is not over yet, is it because we still have this half heart?
What will Bai Jingmo do with this heart? Should I return it to Lina or... keep it for myself?
If that's the case, then don't they have to kill Bai Jingmo to truly complete the mission?
When Jiang Xi thought of this, he felt sick all over.
But before she could think of a solution, she heard a snap and the sound of something breaking in the air.
Jiang Xi was stunned and looked up, only to see that Bai Jingmo's palm was empty. The ruby... was crushed by him? !
Not only Jiang Xi, Wu Bei and Mu Chengsi were also stunned.
After crushing the gem, the man immediately looked up at them.
The other person's calm eyes were like a pool of still water, without a ripple, and he slowly opened his lips and spoke:
"So, does that mean the mission is accomplished?"
[Congratulations to the player for completing the mission - uncovering the hidden secrets of the manor and surviving successfully. 】
Jiang Xi was stunned.
...Mission accomplished?
But isn’t Bai Jingmo still alive? It was obvious that all previous copies required killing him to be considered successful.
Jiang Xi's face suddenly froze. Since the system had said that they had successfully survived, it meant that Bai Jingmo posed no danger to them.
So... the other party still has self-awareness? !
Realizing this, she quickly looked up at the man, "Bo Jingmo! You still remember us, right?!"
The man paused when he heard this, then turned to look at them, "I have never lost any memory."
"……What's the meaning?"
But the man did not answer, but suddenly walked to the sleeping NPC not far away.
He squatted down and stared at the woman's face quietly, but there was no previous warmth in his red eyes. Instead, he returned to the indifference he had at the beginning.
Lili went back.
Thinking of this, he picked up his coat and stood up.
When he looked up again, Bai Jingmo's blood-red pupils had turned back to their normal dark color. He walked in front of Jiang Xi and repeated calmly, "The vampire has no effect on me. I am just pretending to be bewitched."
Looking at Jiang Xi's shocked expression, he lowered his eyes and said in a neutral tone: "This will help us complete the task better, won't it?"
First, he used the vampire's confidence in his ability to bewitch himself to gain the other party's trust, and then used the illusion of being bewitched to deceive the audience and Shen Youyou, so that he could kill Shen Youyou in a natural way without ruining his character.
What a great show, Bai Jingmo simply deceived everyone.
Players, NPCs, and audiences, no one noticed that he was pretending to be bewitched from beginning to end.
Jiang Xi was speechless, but her eyes were filled with astonishment and shock, as if she was meeting the man opposite her for the first time.
Is Bai Jingmo... coming to his senses? How come you suddenly become so smart? It's actually possible to play like this.
At this moment, Jiang Xi suddenly remembered that when she teamed up with the other party before, she once played the role of a couple with him. However, before they had played for long, the man was obviously very resistant to this kind of approach, and then he ran to commit suicide and turned into a ghost to replace the BOSS in the copy.
I would rather die than cooperate with the copy.
As a result, now everyone can accept being with NPCs...
Looking at the woman lying on the ground not far away, Jiang Xi's expression suddenly changed.
etc! If this NPC looks a lot like that school girl.
Could it be that Bai Jingmo saw the other person's face and then...
She shuddered, her mind in a mess, full of absurd yet reasonable thoughts. She didn't notice at all that Mu Chengsi's face froze after hearing their conversation.
She remained silent, but her hands in her pockets gradually clenched.
At this moment, Mu Chengsi fell into deep self-doubt.
No, that's not right.
According to Deva's data, Bai Jingmo should have lost his self-awareness. After so much stimulation, how could he still maintain his consciousness?
How is this possible? ! Or...his strength has increased?
Let’s put this aside for now. If Bai Jingmo was really sober, then he would be actively cooperating with that NPC? ? !
This is even more explosive! Dude, that NPC looks exactly like your girlfriend! !
Thinking of this, Mu Chengsi looked at Bai Jingmo with surprise and... contempt.
Does Yu Li know that her boyfriend is like this in the copy?
Is this considered cheating?
