[Endless Killing: My fireball has a bug! – Chapter 201 The mysterious man’s bad taste!]
The two Lin Chuans were not too surprised.
The reason why they chose to cooperate instead of fighting each other was that they were facing the same crisis.
At the same time, there is also a mystery, that is, they all suspect that their every move is under the surveillance of a mysterious man!
The two Lin Chuans were in this cage and actually didn’t show any strength.
For example, he had never taken out Lin Chuan’s powerful Scythe of Death.
There were some props that he did not use, and he only used night-shining pearls for lighting.
For example, Lin Chuan’s fireball talent was clearly usable, but he never actually used it.
Moreover, he actually has four golden treasure chests, wishing cards, dream pillows, ginkgo leaves and other props.
Especially the golden treasure chest, which may reveal items that are helpful to the current situation.
The Fantasy Dream Pillow can even predict the future, allowing him to grasp more information in advance.
Trapped in this caged space, Lin Chuan didn’t use it at all!
It was Qi Wei who guessed that everything in the cage was under the surveillance of a mysterious man!
And now, the voice that suddenly sounded in their minds also confirmed their guess!
The three of them tensed up. “Lin Chuan” from the AA004 world looked up at the empty sky and took the initiative to speak: “So, our speculation is correct?”
“Yes, your speculation is correct. I need your help to obtain the ultimate reward of the First Sequence World Sovereignty Secret Realm.” The mysterious man’s voice sounded very arbitrary.
He seemed to be open and honest, with nothing to hide.
Even though it was clearly a threat, he expressed it in a righteous and solemn tone, as if Lin Chuan and the others were not threatened by him, but did it voluntarily.
In fact, it is not only voluntary, but also an honor!
That condescending tone.
To be honest, it’s quite uncomfortable.
However, when you live under someone’s roof, you have to bow your head.
The two Hayashikawas and the one Terao did not have the energy to angrily retort.
Instead, he waited quietly for the mysterious man’s next instructions.
He suddenly spoke up, and it was probably not as simple as just telling the three people the current situation and soothing their worries.
Sure enough, the mysterious man’s voice soon rang out again.
This time, there was a hint of mischievous playfulness in the voice.
He said slowly—
“I came here just to gather some strong people to help me complete the mission and get what I want.”
“The criteria for collecting strong people are very simple. One is that they can detect my existence; the other is that they can fly at a height of more than 500 meters under the pressure of Longmen.”
“Obviously, you all passed my tests and met the standards I required.”
“However, there was a small accident during this process.”
“Hayashikawa, Terao, right?”
“But what can we do? According to the rules of the fifth level, only one strongest person in a world needs to participate in the fifth level.”
“And you all seem to be from World AA007.”
“This is my mistake. Now, I have to find a way to make up for it.”
“It seems that the way to make up for it is very simple—”
“You two have a life-and-death duel. The one who survives will do the mission for me in the fifth level. The one who dies is dead.”
“But, the interesting thing is, you two seem to have sworn to each other on the promise-breaking ball!”
“That means you can’t fight to the death.”
“So, how do I choose? This is a really puzzling question.”
The mysterious man’s voice kept saying that it was a headache.
But his tone clearly showed that he was very interested and playful.
It’s like a patron at a beast arena who gets pleasure from watching wild animals in captivity slaughter each other under human training.
In his eyes, the life and death of Linchuan and Terao were like ants, insignificant!
Even played a very enjoyable game!
At this moment, Terao’s face turned even paler.
Lin Chuan’s expression was calm, yet solemn.
At the same time, deep down in his heart, he felt disgusted.
Hate those so-called strong people in higher planes who act high and mighty.
One day, the situation will be reversed, and those so-called strong ones will have a taste of what it feels like to be trampled upon by the ants they despise the most.
Lin Chuan’s face showed nothing of what he was thinking.
The mysterious man’s voice paused for a moment.
The air in the 18th-floor cell became heavy and depressing due to his silence.
It was not until that voice spoke again that the suffocating feeling of oppression was broken.
He then said slowly in a cheerful tone:
“Since there is no way to have a life-and-death duel, shall I hand over the decision-making power to a third party?”
“This is Lin Chuan from AA004, right?”
“Now, it’s your choice.”
“You can only choose one of the two people in front of you to survive.”
“I’ll give you three minutes.”
“When I count to three, two, one, tell me a name and I will kill him where he is.”
The mysterious man’s joyful voice finally stopped.
The air became low and depressing again.
At this moment, Lin Chuan and Terao both looked towards the “Lin Chuan” of the world AA004.
These three minutes can be called the three minutes of death!
Facing the threat of death, Terao’s brain races.
He suddenly spoke up, breaking the oppressive silence: “Let me survive! The best choice is to let me survive!”
He was a little excited and spoke very quickly, and the reasons he listed sounded very reasonable –
“You and the other Lin Chuan are destined to be enemies! Leave this cage. If you meet anywhere, you will be doomed to fight!”
“You and him, it is destined that only one person can survive!”
“As for me, I have no grudge against you! In fact, as long as you let me survive, I can promise you something! You can ask for anything you want!”
“Besides! Before I entered the Sovereignty Secret Realm, I used my talent to obtain the Secret Realm Strategy! I can share the fifth level strategy with you!”
“And one more thing! Don’t forget, after we enter the fifth level, we are in a competitive relationship! Think carefully, is it me who puts more pressure on you, or is it your other self who puts more pressure on you?!”
“Think about it carefully, think it through clearly!”
Terao’s speech speed is getting faster and faster, and his tone is getting more and more excited!
I wish I could brainwash “Lin Chuan” from the AA004 world like crazy!
In the entire 18th-floor cage, the only sound was his frantic output.
“Lin Chuan” in the world of AA004 is very calm.
He took Terao’s words to heart.
He agreed with all the reasons stated by Terao.
However, he also has his own thoughts.
The three minutes seemed to pass very quickly under Terao’s verbal bombardment.
Terao was still chattering on, explaining his principles.
In the minds of the three people, the playful and joking voice soon rang out again.
This time, there is no more talk, only countdown –
“three–“
“two–“
“one–“
Until the word “one” falls to the ground.
Terao’s eyes are completely red!
His condition was on the verge of madness again!
His eyes were fixed on “Lin Chuan” from world AA004.
The threat of impending death almost made him lose all his sanity!
His mind was screaming wildly –
Choose Lin Chuan! Let Lin Chuan die! Let Lin Chuan die!
In comparison.
Lin Chuan, No. AA007, was much calmer.
He remained silent from beginning to end.
There was no fear of death, nor was there any striving for anything for oneself.
Only occasionally did he reveal a hint of contemplation.
And just when AA004 “Lin Chuan” was about to announce his choice!
In the 18th cell, a strange scene happened!
“Lin Chuan” clearly didn’t have time to make a choice!
Terao’s body suddenly exploded with a “bang”!
This scene was weird and bloody.
Judging from the timing, it seems to be the work of a mysterious person.
But “Lin Chuan” in the world of AA004 has not made a choice yet!
How to respond? The mysterious man went back on his word?
No!
Lin Chuan knew how to respond.
Just because——
In his space, the ball of breaking his promise that contained Terao’s oath exploded!
In other words, Terao was not killed by a mysterious person.
But he died from the power of the rules of the Breaking Promise Ball!
Apparently, in the final moments before death, Terao had completely regained his sanity.
Under such great pressure, he had apparently forgotten the oath he had made to the Breaking Promise Ball!
Deep down, he wanted Lin Chuan to die madly.
He developed a strong hostility towards Lin Chuan.
He broke his oath!
Therefore, he was swallowed by the power of the rules of the Breaking Promise Ball before “Lin Chuan” made a choice!
The mysterious man obviously noticed this.
He suddenly burst into laughter!
The sound that was made again was still very pleasant.
“What a poor creature! He tried so hard to survive, but in the end, he ended up hurting himself! Hahahaha…”
Apparently, the mysterious man was very pleased that Terao was devoured by the power of the rules of the Broken Promise Ball.
And on the 18th floor, the two Lin Chuans were filled with deep disgust in their hearts.
That feeling of being controlled by others and treated like a toy is obviously not a pleasant one.
The two were silent and didn’t say much.
After the mysterious man laughed enough, he suddenly asked:
“It’s a pity that this death was not caused by a third party.”
“But now, I still want to ask. Mr. Lin Chuan from the AA004 world, what was your choice at the time?”
When the voice fell, the two Lin Chuans in the 18th floor cage looked at each other.
Lin Chuan said calmly, “I would choose to let Terao die.”
The mysterious man’s voice with evil intentions rang out again.
“Is this true? Could it be that you are saying this because you think Terao is dead, in order to prevent your other self from becoming hostile to you?”
Then he asked Lin Chuan: “So, Mr. Lin Chuan from the AA007 world, do you believe what he said?”
Lin Chuan said calmly without any hesitation: “I believe it.”
“Oh? In that case, then, Mr. Lin Chuan, AA004, it seems that you really chose to let your destined enemy, your other self, live? Can you tell me why?”
The mysterious man’s tone was filled with exaggerated doubt.
It was precisely because of the exaggeration that the doubt sounded somewhat false.
Lin Chuan thought that the mysterious man should have guessed the reason.
The original story told by another “Lin Chuan” was almost exactly the same as what Lin Chuan thought.
He said slowly: “I made this choice for two reasons.”
“First, the rules you set say that if I tell you a ‘name’, you will kill that person.”
“I am a person who is naturally more cunning than others.”
“So I’m afraid that if I give you the name ‘Lin Chuan’, will you deliberately play a prank on me and make me, who has the same name as ‘Lin Chuan’, die violently on the spot?”
“From your tone, I think you have a bad taste in your nature and are likely to do something like this.”
“So, no matter what, I will not give out the name ‘Lin Chuan’.”
“Of course, if what you said at the time was that the person whose name I announced could survive, I would have announced the name ‘Lin Chuan’.”
This is the simplest reason.
It is not mixed with any personal emotions or any considerations of interests.
I just found a safer answer to the question itself.
“Lin Chuan” guessed that when the mysterious man gave him the choice, he had already thought of a standard answer for this question.
It was the mysterious man who wanted Lin Chuan to survive.
That’s why he would use that kind of sentence structure, hiding something mysterious.
So, Lin Chuan survived.
It is not the choice to be another “Lin Chuan”.
But it is the mystery of the mysterious person asking questions.
When “Lin Chuan” said this, the mysterious man laughed again –
“As expected of you, I have chosen you! You are so calm and smart, it is really admirable!”
“So, what is your second reason?”
