"What exactly is going on?" Old Ji frowned.
Why is it Lin Nai again?
In the first round, he used white fog to block the view of the Sky Eye surveillance system.
What exactly happened during his battle with Bai Liao inside the white mist remains unknown.
The second round was even more outrageous.
The entire screen of the Death Illusion went completely black!
This also caused me to get stuck on that level, making it impossible to proceed to the next few rounds of the Death Illusion.
And then they pulled this stunt on me again in the third round?
Is this never going to end?
Old Ji looked helpless: "This kid, could it be that he used the white mist to block the Heavenly Eye signal again?"
The young referee, typing on the keyboard, also had a strange expression: "No... this situation seems a little different."
Professor Ji: "Oh?"
Young referee: "In this round of the competition, we used the life essence that appeared in the illusionary world to mark and pinpoint the exact location of each contestant..."
"But from the very beginning, Linnai's life essence reaction seemed to have suddenly evaporated completely and disappeared."
"That's so strange, it was just here a moment ago..."
"What?" Old Ji frowned. "Are you kidding me? The life essence reaction has disappeared, doesn't that mean..." He stopped mid-sentence.
He paused for a moment, then asked, "Can you find out where Lin Nai is from the footage of the other contestants?"
“I’ve tried it,” the young referee said. “When we first arrived in town, Lin Nai was with Fang Wu and Hua Lingze, but later, Fang Wu and Hua Lingze were arrested by the townspeople, and after they separated, Lin Nai disappeared.”
"How could such a thing happen?" Commander Sun stood aside, equally bewildered, and said gruffly with his arms crossed, "Our Heavenly Eye can still pinpoint him, even if he can hide in the shadows like Bai Liao! Lin Nai is a living person. If he didn't break the illusion and leave the illusion, how could he just disappear inexplicably in an illusion?"
"This..." The young referee didn't know how to answer.
Old Ji scratched his chin: "To be honest, I'm starting to get used to it... This kid really manages to pull off something unexpected every round."
At that moment, the middle-aged referee monitoring the other screen seemed to have suddenly noticed something, and his expression turned to astonishment: "Old Ji! Commander Sun! Something terrible has happened!"
"?" Old Ji turned his head and looked over, puzzled. "What is it now?"
The middle-aged referee said, "The number of townspeople within the illusion is suddenly decreasing rapidly!"
"Huh??" Old Ji was taken aback: "What do you mean by 'rapidly decreasing'?"
Middle-aged referee: "He's... dead..."
"Dead?" Old Ji was slightly taken aback, then his eyebrows furrowed: "What do you mean dead? These townspeople will be constantly resurrected under the influence of the power of faith in the illusion, and they were originally 'dead,' so how can you say they are 'dead'?"
The middle-aged referee immediately dragged the mouse and opened a window: "Take a look at this."
Old Ji came over to check.
The interface displayed the number of residents in the town.
Originally, the town had a total population of 15,000.
But now, only 13,000 people remain.
And indeed, the numbers are continuing to decline...
“...”
“...”
“...”
In just a short while, it's almost dropped below 13,000!
Looking at the numbers constantly decreasing on the screen, Old Ji also showed a look of horror: "What's going on? Where did these two thousand people go?"
The middle-aged referee said awkwardly, "I just didn't know, that's why..."
Mr. Ji thought about it for a moment.
Could the "deaths" of these townspeople also be related to Linnaeus?
He immediately said, "Locate where these townspeople died."
Middle-aged referee: "...Uh, I'm afraid we can't lock it in."
Professor Ji: "?? Why is that?"
“This is the strange part…” the middle-aged referee said, licking his dry lips, “The bodies of these townspeople have all disappeared…”
"...Huh?" Old Ji looked completely bewildered.
Not only did the number of people decrease by two thousand.
They didn't even find the body?
What the heck?
Did these townspeople simply vanish into thin air?
......
"Whoosh—"
"Whoosh—"
Linnaeus, wielding the enormous White Night Scythe, killed several more townspeople.
Your sin value +13
Soul Points +13
As Linnai continued to absorb soul points, he discovered that many dark, gaseous substances were gathering on his body.
Those substances didn't look like demonic energy.
It does resemble some kind of antimatter energy.
Lin Nai looked down at the strange energy on his body, lost in thought.
I haven't bothered to figure out what these substances are for the time being.
Anyway, these things don't seem to pose any threat to him for the time being.
He glanced back at the corpses scattered on the ground as he fought his way through.
The shadowy figure floated behind him in spirit form, releasing wisps of black mist that slowly devoured the corpses of the townspeople.
Lin Nai touched his nose, thinking to himself, "Is this the legendary one who controls killing and the other who controls burial?"
"I never imagined you could absorb antimatter energy. Your potential is truly beyond my imagination, Linnai."
