"You'll be burned alive, like being thrown into a fire, your bones will melt!"
"Didn't that girl tell you?"
She wasn't exaggerating.
In just a short while, Gao Yuan's whole body was burning hot, as if he could hear the sound of moisture evaporating from his lungs.
But he still tried his best to put on a smile.
"The taste of death..." he said haltingly, seemingly with a sense of relief, "...I...am willing...to bear it..."
"If it's too... bland... I'll... be... disappointed..."
Despite his plan to eliminate this person after being rejected, and despite having personally killed more than one person with this drug before, Absinthe still felt a pang of resentment as he looked at this person who had voluntarily taken APTX4869 and was almost willingly heading towards death.
The feeling of things slipping out of one's control is just as unbearable as the person blatantly escaping right before one's eyes.
Moreover, according to Absinthe's understanding, he is not truly incapable of escaping.
So, what was his reason for doing this...?
"It's that girl!" Vermouth suddenly shouted, "Sherry! Shiho Miyano!"
"She's dead, don't you want to live either?"
"Who exactly are you...?"
Gao Yuan was unable to speak.
His cheeks were flushed and burning hot, but his lips quickly turned pale, and his body stiffened, trembling mechanically under the influence of the drugs.
But a slightly mocking smile still lingered on his lips.
It's unclear whether this was a mockery of his own fate or absurdity's wild imagination.
Absinthe let go completely, allowing him to lie on the ground and gradually become still.
On the bright side, one less person who could pose a threat to the organization.
She muttered to herself, then clapped her hands and stood up.
After straightening her slightly wrinkled dress, she transformed back into the sweet and adorable young lady of the Lanze family.
As for the puppeteer...
She turned her head and thought for a moment, then softly uttered the word "bourbon".
However, as she left Gao Yuan there and turned to leave the bar, she felt a violent tremor beneath her feet.
...
"Please note that players must make the correct choices to successfully complete the hidden story."
Noah's Ark, neglected by a group of police officers and detectives who were only focused on reasoning, repeated with a hint of annoyance.
The emotional program, which had not evolved in the two years since it was created by Hiroki, has made a great breakthrough in just one hour.
If it weren't for the fact that it's a rigid, procedural AI, it would have simply ruled these people out and eliminated them.
Reminded by it, Yoruichi Toyama and the others finally quieted down a bit, waiting for King Cissa to speak again.
"Humans, you were born on this planet thanks to the blessings of the gods..."
King Sisa, who has the face of Mitsui, still spouts the same old empty rhetoric.
It's enough to fool this little kid, Noah's Ark.
Unfortunately, none of these people listened to him.
"Then tell me, what exactly is he?" Yoruichi Toyama nudged Akechi and asked, "Is he also an AI? Or did Mitsui somehow project his own personality here?"
Mingzhi gazed at the ridiculous figure posing as a god and pondered.
"...However, the ugliness emerging in human society has escalated to an ever-growing point, and we must face the judgment of the apocalypse!..."
King Sisa had a solemn expression and spoke eloquently.
"And you are those who have been tested and chosen by me! You are the messengers of God!"
Those who had heard Mitsui Fumiya's stuff before were fine, but this was the first time Shinichi Kudo had ever encountered such cringeworthy lines, and he started frantically scratching his toes at the virtual world's three-bedroom apartment.
"Does he really think that players who have actually completed the game would accept his approach?"
Hakuba Saguru complained again.
It's not surprising that Noah's Ark, influenced by Mitsui, created such a scene in the game and called it a "hidden ending."
In terms of emotional intelligence and experience, it's just a kid like Hiroki.
Mitsui's purpose is obvious.
He thought his poison gas plan would definitely succeed, but at the same time, his five carefully selected henchmen would also be taken away in one fell swoop.
So he used this game to select new believers to serve him.
The problem is that those who attended the game launch and got the chance to experience the game were all genuine social elites.
People who are unhappy in life, or those who are hoping for the destruction of the earth so that everyone will be wiped out.
Who wants to be a winner in life?
Is it that sports cars are hard to drive, or that red wine is hard to drink, or that all the blonde beauties have died?
Hearing Hakuba Saguru's sarcastic remark, the group couldn't help but burst out laughing.
However, the King of Sisa showed no reaction and continued to preach his "prehistoric civilization".
Yoruichi Toyama snorted in response.
It seems we've been thinking about this thing too advancedly.
"It's just a simple procedure," Akechi said at that moment.
"It's too much of a stretch to expect AI to create an AI that's similar to itself!"
"After all, it hasn't even reached the level of humans yet."
