Chapter 58



"How did you get in?!" Song Yue was surprised.

A flicker of visible pride crossed 099's face, but then he suddenly became serious. "I found something wrong with this copy."

Question? Song Yue's eyes flickered.

In the blink of an eye, suddenly, an axe was raised high above 099's head!

"careful!"

Song Yue reacted instantly, pushed 099 away, drew out the dagger, threw it into his left hand, and as he brushed past the attacker, the blade fiercely slashed across his chest!

099 was a weak boy. After being pushed by Song Yue, he staggered to the side. When he hurriedly reacted, he found that Song Yue had already drawn her knife to attack him.

only……

He frowned slightly.

Even when she was attacked, she did not force the other party to death.

She could have cut the man's throat with one knife and killed No. 5, but she didn't. Instead, she attacked other non-vital parts.

He understood that Song Yue had always been sticking to her bottom line.

Unless absolutely necessary, I will not easily take someone's life.

099 sighed secretly, not knowing whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to be bound to a tasker like her.

As his thoughts returned, he saw Man No. 5 clutching his chest and grumbling in pain, "...Are you, are you in the same group?!"

Damn, his luck this time is so bad!

I finally saw No. 3 alone and had the opportunity to attack, but I didn't expect that he was leaning against No. 2.

Number 2, number 2, number 2 again!

No. 2 had a hard time with him in the last round, so why did he run into the same problem again this time?

Number 5 was both angry and unwilling. He gasped for breath and stepped back step by step, his eyes fixed on Song Yue like a hawk: "Just wait, I will take your life sooner or later!"

After saying that, he pushed open the side door and fled out in a panic.

It doesn't matter, there will be another chance tomorrow. Number 5 comforted himself as he walked upstairs holding the railing.

The cruise ship broadcast asks the taskers to gather in the restaurant every morning, not for any other reason, but just to force them together and intensify the conflict.

The same situation happened in the previous round. Many people died on the second day of the copy because they were caught off guard.

Because he did not dare to relax and remained highly vigilant, he survived to the 13th day.

Seeing that the copy was about to end, everyone was dead or injured, and there was no energy left to fight anymore, so they relaxed.

Unexpectedly, he ran into a newspaper-type personality type 2. The other party was seriously injured and his health value was about to reach 0. Before he died, he wanted him to be his scapegoat. He had no time to escape and was taken away by the ignited bomb!

Feeling resentful just thinking about it, No. 5 returned to the room quietly with a gloomy face.

In the restaurant downstairs, Song Yue found that there was no movement after the broadcast called them together, so he vaguely guessed that the copy was deliberately causing trouble.

In fact, today's round of provocation did achieve the system's purpose.

In just half an hour, the number of taskers dropped rapidly from 135 (two died during the day and three died at night yesterday) to 111.

This does not include those injured in the fight.

After being injured, your blood volume and health value will decrease, and if you don’t have medicine, it’s basically a dead end.

At that time, countless fights will break out in order to grab the medicine.

Well, I really want them to be wiped out in this copy.

Song Yue thought about it and called 099: "Let's go back to the room first."

The two of them dodged quickly, but still couldn't escape the attention of some sharp-eyed people.

Seeing that nothing unusual happened after they left, neither turning into white light nor receiving a warning through the broadcast, he suddenly came to his senses.

"Damn, we've been used by the radio!" someone in the crowd said fiercely.

"The system deliberately called us together to force us to fight each other!"

"Everyone, stop! Stop fighting! Don't let the system's conspiracy succeed!"

"Yes, we are all tasked. It's not easy for anyone to get to this point. Why kill each other?"

People keep stepping up to take charge of the situation.

The chaotic fight finally stopped. Some female taskers who had fought hard until now and had not yet turned into white light collapsed on the spot, feeling both grateful and scared for having survived the disaster.

One of the girls, number 18, held onto the wall and stood up shakily. Her eyes looked around and finally fell on a girl numbered 1.

"...Hello..." The girl tried to talk to No. 1, "How about... we girls form an alliance? It will be safer if we all act together..."

Before she could even utter the last word "all", girl No. 1 interrupted her expressionlessly: "Not interested."

The girl opened her lips and continued to persuade, "We are all girls. We are no match for those male taskers. Didn't you see just now? So many people died! I think the only way for all women to survive is to unite."

"Unite? Survive?" Faced with the girl's solicitation, No. 1 was not moved. Instead, he considered his thoughts and looked at her coldly, "Only the weak would think of joining forces."

After saying that, he lifted his foot and left the restaurant, leaving the girl alone.

"Tsk, isn't it just number 1? What's so great about that..."

"Who knows if he's lucky enough to be alive today! He's so arrogant, thinking he's a god, he really won't die!"

Girl No. 18 didn’t know that No. 1 had killed someone yesterday, nor did she see any weapons from the latter, so she subconsciously thought that he was showing off.

After complaining, she slowly moved her feet and began to move closer to the other female taskers.

"Hello, are you interested in joining the Women's Tasker Alliance?"

Knowing that the system was deliberately causing trouble, the taskers left the restaurant one after another and returned to their rooms.

While listening to the footsteps outside the door hurriedly returning to the room, Song Yue asked 099 in the room: "Tell me, what's the problem with this copy?"

I wanted to ask this before, but No. 5 interrupted me.

099 sat on the edge of the bed, his expression dazed for a moment before coming to his senses. "Oh, I just checked if the main system was monitoring it. Fortunately, it's been busy lately and doesn't have the energy to manage this instance."

After a pause, he began, "After you came in, I was a little worried, so I hacked into the backend to take a look. Guess what? I found that there was something wrong with Tasker No. 5."

Number 5? Song Yue's eyebrows moved slightly: "Continue."

099: "I found out he's been to this dungeon!"

Without waiting for Song Yue to respond, 099 couldn't wait to spill the beans: "His system tampered with the historical records! Number 5 came in the last round and died without making it. The system definitely doesn't want to accept this outcome, because the death of the bound tasker means our system's mission has failed. Competition between our subsystems is extremely fierce right now, so I guess his system would rather risk a felony conviction than let Number 5 try again."

Song Yue didn't know much about the subsystems, main systems, and competition mentioned by 099, nor was he interested in them.

She just wanted to know what adverse consequences the accident with No. 5 would bring to her.

Otherwise, 099 wouldn't have transformed into a human form to find her.

As it turned out, her guess was correct.

After 099 finished explaining No. 5's basic situation, his expression suddenly turned unhappy. "Actually, I don't care how No. 5 starts. But! His system, in order to allow No. 5 to gain a lot of points from this dungeon, actually dared to reveal the hidden dungeon rules to No. 5!"

He gets angry whenever he thinks of this!

He worked well with Song Yue, didn't offend anyone, and achieved excellent results relying entirely on his own abilities along the way.

But the damn System No. 5 intervened and pointed the spearhead at his people. He couldn't tolerate this at all!

So he spent a lot of system energy, exchanged it for a human shell, and secretly squeezed out the original tasker No. 3, and then sneaked in.

Song Yue still didn't know what 099 was thinking, but from his gnashing teeth expression, it was not difficult to see that the latter was very angry.

So I asked: "What are the hidden rules?"

099 glanced at her and said slowly, "...Replacing the top three will earn you a lot of points."

Song Yue responded quickly: "You mean No. 1, me, and you?"

099 nodded bitterly. "Yes! Killing No. 1 during the dungeon and replacing her rank will earn you 200 points. Replacing you will earn you 150 points. Replacing me will earn you 100 points."

Song Yue laughed when she heard this: "I didn't expect that I'm only worth so few points?"

099 rolled his eyes. "Don't underestimate it. Number 5 is desperately trying to kill you! I've done some analysis. Number 1 is too strong for him. He can't reach you and is out of his hunting range. You, with your mediocre weapon, frail appearance, and being alone, have been his number one target from the very beginning. As for me, you saw it just now. He wanted to attack me, but you intercepted him in the end. Ultimately, the person he wants to deal with in the end is still you."

Never having thought that she was so important to a stranger, Song Yue leaned against the wall, lowered her eyes and smiled faintly.

"You can still laugh? Your life is at stake, you should pay more attention!" Seeing that she was not nervous at all, but smiling instead, 099 stood up anxiously, walked up to her, and shook her shoulders with both hands.

It was the first time for the two of them to be in such close contact. 099 lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the other person. For a moment, he was attracted by her curved eyebrows and eyes.

Damn! 099, what are you thinking!

He quickly recovered and gritted his teeth again, "Anyway, you must always stay alert! Especially be wary of Number 5! Don't let your guard down, okay? Well, forget it, now that I'm in, I'll help you keep an eye on Number 5. If he dares to get close to you, I'll kill him!"

She is his, no one can touch her!

Song Yue never thought of his system as a chatterbox. He seriously suspected that it was deliberately creating an aloof personality so that he could remain in awe of it.

Thinking of this, she smiled and shook her head.

She suddenly raised her clear, bright eyes, looked at the other person, stretched out her hand, rubbed his light brown hair, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, he's no match for me."

The knife in the chest was enough to show the difference in strength between them. As long as he dared to come, she would dare to attack.

Suddenly, a warm feeling touched his head. 099 was stunned and his heart almost skipped a beat, if he had cared.

Woohoo—how come his tasker is so good-looking? How come I never noticed it before?

Damn the system perspective, it made me fall into the trap of being obsessed with appearance!

The incident on No. 5 was explained clearly. On that day, Song Yue and 099 stayed in the room and did not go out.

She still had her supplies, and since 099 didn't need to eat, there was no need to go downstairs to find something to eat.

However, No. 5, who lives on the same floor as her, doesn't think so.

He was injured, and his health bar and health value were dropping at a rate of 5 points every 3 minutes. If he was not treated, his two color bars would drop below 50% in less than half an hour.

If the health is below 50%, the movement will be significantly restricted; if it is below 25%, the ability to move will be lost.

If the health value is lower than 50%, there is a certain chance of suffering from more serious diseases; if it is lower than 25%, there is a greater chance of suffering from severe diseases.

How could he fail again when the system had finally given him this opportunity?!

Suppressing his reluctance, he covered the wound with one hand, supported himself against the wall with the other, and tiptoed to open the door.

Very good, taking advantage of this time when there was no one outside, he quickly went to the medical room to find the medicine.

As long as he takes the medicine, he can be saved!

Little did he know that there were many people who thought the same as him. The taskers who had been injured in the restaurant before were now gathered at the door of the medical room, making a lot of noise.

"I found the medicine first! Why do you have to keep it all for yourself?"

"Exactly, what happened to the equal split you agreed on? You actually turned your back on me!"

"Haha, everyone gets the medicine based on their own ability. If you can't find it, who can you blame? You deserve it!"

"What did you say?! Believe it or not, I will kill you now!"

"If I can't live, you can't live either!"

The atmosphere was tense, with both sides raising their weapons and refusing to back down.

No. 5 hid secretly in the corner, not making a sound.

He planned to take advantage of the conflict between the two sides and profit from it, but after watching for a long time, he found that the group of people were just talking and not taking any action.

I couldn't help feeling irritated.

His blood and health are still decreasing. If he keeps waiting like this, when will it end?

At this moment, a male voice suddenly appeared behind him.

"Do you want me to help you?"

"I'll help you get rid of those little bugs so you can get the medicine smoothly."

No. 5's blood froze and he turned around instantly!

"It's you?!" His pupils shrank and his body unconsciously pressed against the wall. "Why are you helping me?"

Number 6 looked at him and smiled narrowed his eyes: "Don't be nervous, we just need each other."

Number 5 clenched his fists and looked at the other person warily: "What do you want?"

Number 6 shrugged: "I want Number 1's life."

Number 5 was suddenly stunned.

What's going on? How did Number 6 also know about the top three scorers? This shouldn't be the case. His system said that only he knew the hidden rules of this dungeon.

Looking at No. 5's flickering eyes, No. 6 smiled softly: "Don't think too much, I just have a grudge against No. 1."

So that's how it is...

Number 5 secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He calmed himself down and took the initiative to speak: "I can help you, but just helping me get the medicine is not enough."

"Hmm? Go ahead."

"I want number 2's life."

Number 6's eyebrows curved and he grinned: "Okay, deal."

The author has something to say:

Currently known:

No. 1: The murderous female devil

No. 2: Female Lead

No. 3: System 099

No. 4: None

No. 5: Man with an Axe
