Boredom
Ji Yunding and Guaiyi stared at each other at a distance that almost broke the normal social friendly distance. Then Ji Yunding realized that this probably meant to stay careful when in visible places.
Just look at it and it won't come any closer.
Now he can barely maintain his balance by turning a blind eye, but if he wants to walk over, Ji Yun must not look back and stare at it, otherwise all the consequences of the previous violations will be triggered when he passes by it.
However, there should be a way out now.
In the Rules Tales, the difficulty of following the rules varies, and the consequences of breaking the rules are also different. If the rules are extremely difficult to follow, there is still room for recovery even if they are broken; but if the rules are very easy to follow, the result is usually immediate death.
In the final analysis, the rules in the rule story are actually not fundamentally different from the natural rules of the real world.
In the real world, everyone knows that jumping from the 23rd floor will kill you. Suppose there is a rule like "Don't stand on one foot for three minutes and then do a back handspring while yelling" - it's hard to imagine how such a weird rule would induce humans to break it. The consequence of breaking it would be like jumping from the 23rd floor.
The first three rules are obviously easier to violate in the harsh dark environment, but Ji Yunding has not yet violated the fourth rule, which should be the most fatal, so there should still be room for maneuver.
Rely on speed? No, judging from what happened just now, it seems that it can perform actions similar to teleportation in the light.
Changing routes at the previous intersection, or sprinting to get here before it...are probably the ways to break the deadlock that you missed.
Ji Yunding raised his hand and casually slashed the air with the dagger, but found that it flashed away in an instant and continued to stare at her at a distance of an arm's length from Ji Yunding.
"It's quite simple...but if I had known earlier I would have taken the knife back."
Ji Yunding finally couldn't help but mutter something, then he took aim and threw the dagger forward with force.
The dagger shattered the light bulb accurately. In the last ray of light, Ji Yunding caught a glimpse of a strange expression and was somewhat surprised.
Now, this is the invisible environment again.
The surroundings fell into darkness, and Ji Yunding adjusted his breathing silently, and sprinted forward with all his strength.
The wind suddenly stopped before, probably because Ji Yunding had thrown it away for a while. In this case...
"Give up—"
Ji Yunding was stunned for a moment when she heard the voice, and then she found that the surrounding environment had returned to its original state. The monster opposite walked up to her and returned the dagger to her.
"You are amazing. Although I just constructed this rule, I didn't expect there would be such a big loophole... If you had taken two more steps forward, I could have possessed you."
Unexpectedly, the guy with his mouth sewn up turned out to be a chatterbox after the stitches were removed, and he chatted non-stop with Ji Yunding about his ideas for building it.
"The first part is too difficult." Ji Yunding tilted his head and expressed his thoughts, "In order to avoid being misled without any vision, you must have special abilities or something. It's too demanding."
"That's right, but if I can improve my visibility a little bit, my concealment ability... I'll make some changes later. Thank you this time."
So easygoing.
Ji Yunding scratched his head and deeply felt that this world was full of things that could not be achieved by imagination alone.
"By the way, these are the daggers from some research group on the human side, right? Which group is this from?"
“…It’s a group.”
Ji Yunding clenched the dagger tightly, ready to run away at any time, but he inexplicably read some excitement from the abstract facial features of the person opposite him.
"So you're the senior who killed a group of investigators! I didn't realize it, I'm so embarrassed."
"Ah? Well... maybe I can say so."
Ji Yunding felt that today he had finally shown his carelessness throughout his life.
This monster kept chattering all the way back to Ji Yunding's seat, and Ji Yunding looked at Zero for help.
I couldn't answer the conversation because the other party was talking too much. Besides, Ji Yunding didn't know much about the other dimension, so he didn't dare to say too much. He could only reply coldly with some specious nonsense.
"There are indeed quite a few monsters who come to the arena for the purpose of communication." Zero explained.
At this moment, the voice begging for mercy from the arena stage attracted Ji Yunding's attention.
Ji Yunding looked at the stage - a monster over two meters tall, with its flesh turned outward, revealing squirming, somewhat disgusting pink flesh buds. It was torturing the monster opposite it, while making a creepy laugh.
It was wearing a skull necklace. Ji Yunding guessed that this was probably a common necklace style in the other dimension, similar to a cross.
Ji Yunding didn't feel anything about it, but the weirdo next to him continued chattering at an inappropriate time.
"People from Group 1... Is their meat delicious? Is there anything special about it compared to ordinary humans?"
This sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured down on Ji Yunding's head. She suddenly lost her expression and looked at the weirdness beside her in silence. She shook her head and said, "No, they are just ordinary people. They are nothing more ordinary than that."
Yes, they were weird, they were only so friendly because they thought she was one of their own kind.
“Is that so?” The monster looked a little disappointed and shook his head. “Forget it. Meat that contains so much power, even if it tastes ordinary, it’s fine. By the way, senior, you probably don’t come here often, right? Look at that monster on the field now. The skull hanging on it is said to be from the same group…”
It was just halfway through its words when it was suddenly startled by Ji Yunding's dark, deep and emotionless eyes, which were completely emotionless.
Although Ji Yunding's replies just now had been very cold, they could still be considered friendly. But now, it clearly felt that Ji Yunding had a hint of murderous intent.
"Can you please be quiet for a moment?"
"good……"
The strange man next to him responded in a low voice, then took out needle and thread and tried to sew his mouth again, and said no more.
Although he didn't know why Ji Yunding in front of him suddenly got angry, the weirdness itself was so moody. Maybe he accidentally stepped on a minefield related to the opponent's core desire.
It didn't want to mess with this big guy who had killed a group of people. The alien was very tolerant of the weird core desire rampage. If it touched the other party's core desire, even if it was killed, it was its own fault.
"Miss Ji Yunding, these are for you." Zero saw that the atmosphere was not right and chose to change the subject, "I just followed your advice and placed a bet. You should have a share."
"I want to fight it, is there any way?" Ji Yunding raised his hand to take the purse, then pointed at the monster wearing a skull necklace.
"this……"
"I want to fight it." Ji Yunding looked at Zero and returned the money bag. "These, plus the reward for my previous fight, and the reward after I win the fight with it, can you help me arrange it?"
Ji Yunding has decided what he wants to do today.
"If you can win, it's fine. After all, this person is ranked quite high." Zero looked at the stage and estimated, "But as far as I know, that monster is not good at constructing rules. He only challenges for draws without using rules to wrestle on the material level. In the other dimension, this may be a little bit..."
"I understand. Please help me arrange it." Ji Yunding looked down at the stage, watching the masked monster dismember another monster within the time limit. Screams and unpleasant laughter drifted into Ji Yunding's ears.
"I have to remind you that according to historical records, this weird core desire is related to 'torture/killing'."
"Okay, thank you for the reminder." Ji Yunding turned to look at Zero and thanked him politely but distantly.
uncomfortable.
Ji Yunding thought of the pile of seals he was holding, and the undisguised admiration and fondness in the eyes of his predecessors when they looked at him.
Whose skull was this? Was it some senior she didn't know? Or...
Bored.
After Ji Yunding stepped onto the stage, he stared at the monster in front of him without saying a word or moving a muscle, as if he were looking at a piece of rotten meat.
As soon as the host announced the start, he heard the sound of a dagger breaking through the wind. When he looked again, Ji Yunding had already rushed in front of his opponent.
However, Ji Yunding soon found that the opponent did not show any panic, and did not dodge or evade. She knew something was wrong, so when she cut a small wound on the opponent's arm, she quickly jumped back and gave up the attack.
The next second, it punched the ground where Ji Yunding had just stood, creating a slightly concave hole on the surface.
The soil in the alien plane was pitch black, and the raised sand blocked Ji Yunding's vision, forcing her to keep her distance.
If he was hit just once, his bones would probably be broken.
When his vision became clear again, Ji Yunding discovered that the wound he had just inflicted on the other person had healed.
If a fight really breaks out, the most reasonable strategy for Ji Yunding is probably to win by speed, using high-frequency attacks to drag the opponent into a competition of endurance, patience, and willpower. The margin for error is extremely low, and the chances of winning are not optimistic.
But unfortunately, Ji Yunding is not here for an open fight this time.
“Possessed spirit, do you like human skin so much?” The two-meter-long rotten flesh spoke in a muddy and rough voice, “I like it too. Human body structures are roughly the same, so you won’t accidentally kill someone…”
“…”
Ji Yunding still didn't speak.
It lowered its head and looked at the creature in front of it, who was shorter than it was and was wearing the skin of a human female. It inexplicably felt a chill creeping up its body.
Before it could figure out the reason, it heard Ji Yunding speak softly.
"What power will today's desire bring?"
What?
It was stunned for a moment, only to see Ji Yunding raising his hand and pointing at it from a distance.
"I want it to die in extreme pain."
bluff?
No……
It felt that its strength seemed to be draining away, and its muscles began to shrink. But in a moment, it became shorter than Ji Yunding.
"You can only admit defeat after seventy-two minutes, right?" Ji Yunding's tone was calm, as if he was saying something very ordinary, but it brought great fear to the monster on the other side, "There are still sixty-five minutes left... It's not very satisfying."
Before it could say anything, Ji Yunding knocked it down with a punch, squatted down, quickly inserted the dagger into its mouth, and turned it slowly and gently.
Ji Yunding's keen ears caught the sound of muscle tissue fibers being cut, broken and torn, but she still moved steadily, as if she was handling the meat on the chopping board when she worked part-time in high school.
At this moment, what really frightened it to the point of being unable to resist was not the weakness and pain in front of it and its subsequent fate, but Ji Yunding's eyes.
It looked into Ji Yunding's eyes - those eyes as cold as inorganic matter. Just one look at them was like falling into a deep well from which it could not climb out.
She showed no discomfort or resistance, no excitement or violence; even the executioner who had long been numb to his job could not compare to her.
"In that case, you can't say 'give up'."
Ji Yunding nodded and reached out to pull off the skull necklace from its neck.
This can't get dirty.
"I'm so sorry, for my sake, please die."
