Chapter 116 He is a Devil
The wet towel on Zhen Jinli's forehead was changed again and again.
Although she was half asleep, she could still sense in her half-awake state that it was Si Yao who had been taking care of her.
In the second half of the night, her fever finally subsided.
Zhen Jinli opened her eyes, turned to look at Si Yao and said, "My fever seems to have subsided. You should go to bed."
Si Yao shook his head and said, "I'm not sleepy, I just want to be closer to you."
Subtle emotions flowed between the two of them. Seeing that she couldn't convince Si Yao, Zhen Jinli had to look away, close her eyes and continue to sleep.
At nine o'clock the next morning, Zhen Jinli woke up and found that she felt much better.
Si Yao was still sitting beside her bed, but he was propping up his head and closing his eyes to rest.
Under the warm yellow light, his long black eyelashes cast a shadow on his lower eyelid, and his light red thin lips were slightly pursed, making him look like an innocent and pure angel.
It also looks like a demon that tempts people to fall.
She always felt that Si Yao's temperament had a strange and evil beauty.
That was something she couldn't feel when she watched his film and television works or his singing and dancing videos.
On the stage, he is a shining star idol.
But he was so strange and unpredictable even though he was so close to her.
Although it's true that he is very nice to her now.
However, Zhen Jinli still couldn't let go of what Si Yao said and did at the beginning.
It’s not so much that I can’t let it go, but rather that I can’t understand it.
He was like a god who was tired of this world and wanted to drag her into the dark abyss of depravity as his companion.
Zhen Jinli sighed silently and stared at Si Yao's sleeping face.
Si Yao, what kind of person are you?
***
In the following days, more players were revealed to be demons by the game.
When Zhen Jinli and Si Yao rushed to the scene, they saw scenes of chaos.
A middle-aged man looked at the twenty-year-old girl in front of him with a playful look and sneered.
"I can't believe such a young girl actually abandoned her own child."
The little girl looked at the middle-aged man with cold eyes.
"I went to the hospital to have an abortion after being deceived by a scumbag. Who would have thought that this would become a reason to be labeled a demon?"
"It's you, uncle, who's capable of doing things like killing your wife and defrauding insurance. Your wife is so unlucky to marry you."
Although more and more players have their identities as demons revealed, they are not panicking at all.
As long as they can defeat other demon players first, they can also leave the game.
It has to be said that the more the identity labels of the demon players are revealed, the more criticisms will be directed at them, and the combat power of ordinary players will be dispersed.
Since the players who killed the demons also became demons, the players had more and more targets to fight. In the end, there were less than half of the players with clean identities left.
As for the remaining players, they must always be vigilant against their teammates or other players, so as not to be taken advantage of by the devil.
This is a double torture of body and mind for both demons and ordinary players.
All the players were on edge, fearing that they would become the target of the demonic spirit possessing the host if they were not careful.
"Hahaha, I can't beat the game if I die, so you can forget about beating this game either!"
After a demon player was killed by an ordinary player, he rushed over to him like crazy, vowing to kill him and drag him to hell.
He will kill whoever kills him.
Many players who met the requirements but turned into demons could not survive the hour before leaving the game and were entangled to death by the demon's vengeful spirits.
As the killing spree reached its end, the resentment in the dungeon grew stronger and stronger. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining ordinary players stopped their killing sickles.
They no longer participated in the killing, but chose to protect themselves and temporarily hid away from the limelight.
Zhen Jinli finally understood the horror of this game.
If you don't kill the demon player, you won't be able to complete the game.
But if you kill the devil, you will be haunted by the devil's incarnation's vengeful spirit.
They will also be targeted by other ordinary players.
In the hour before leaving the game, those who turn themselves into devil players will feel like they are living in a purgatory of burning water and fire.
Whether you can survive depends entirely on luck and ability.
Zhen Jinli tried all the card functions, but except for the Guardian Goddess card which could protect herself and Si Yao, the other cards were basically useless.
The goddess of peace has been tried, and they won't listen to her at all.
Lady Luck has no place in this game.
The Healing Goddess is at least somewhat useful, but she'll be called nosy by other players. Is she preventing them from killing demons and making players leave the game?
As for the goddess of prophecy, let alone her, she didn't even know which of her wishful predictions would be in line with reality and might come true.
By the end of the run, Zhen Jinli herself felt tired.
It's not just physical fatigue, but also mental fatigue.
She finally understood how Su Ge and Jiu Yi felt in this game, and also understood their choices.
Under such rules of the game, they can't help anyone except protecting themselves.
Who knows if the person you want to save will be exposed as a demon in the next second?
The feeling of being slapped in the face is so cool.
Zhen Jinli leaned against the wall in the hotel corridor, feeling so tired that she almost collapsed.
The feeling as if her body and mind had been drained of negative energy swept over her, mixed with a sense of powerlessness that penetrated deep into her soul and into her bones, making her feel so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry and vomit.
“Ugh~”
She couldn't help but retching.
Si Yao hugged Zhen Jinli by her side so that she could have something to hold on to and lean on while she was retching.
Zhen Jinli retched until she finally leaned against Si Yao's arms, rubbing against his embrace.
The whole person is as pitiful as a little bird with nowhere to go.
Si Yao didn't mind Zhen Jinli leaning on him at all. He leaned his back against the wall and put his arm around Zhen Jinli's waist so that she could lean on him more comfortably.
Zhen Jinli leaned in Si Yao's arms for a while, and after calming down, she raised her wet eyes and looked at Si Yao.
"Si Yao, I feel so uncomfortable."
"I can't seem to save anyone, or convince anyone."
Listening to Zhen Jinli's hoarse and difficult words, Si Yao touched her head with gentle and compassionate eyes.
"It's okay, you did your best."
Zhen Jinli shook his head and took out the scale prop unwillingly.
"I want to try again."
One side of the scale slowly turned towards Si Yao and finally sank.
Zhen Jinli suddenly looked up at Si Yao, her face full of shock.
Is Si Yao a devil?
