Putting aside his character, just talking about the strength of No. 1, no one dares to say he is not capable, and he can even completely crush No. 5.
But such a powerful person is now dead.
This was definitely not done by No. 5, but by another person hiding in the dark.
Who could it be?
Song Yue searched rapidly in her mind.
Number 4? No, that was a typical indifferent person who never participated in any competition with them.
No. 5 has been ruled out.
Number 6? Wait.
Song Yue suddenly remembered that yesterday, No. 6 locked his companion outside the restaurant in front of everyone. His face was as red as a rose, and he had no guilt at all. He even seemed to enjoy it.
At that time, she became wary of No. 6.
Come to think of it, I didn't seem to see him and No. 5 in the restaurant this morning.
Then it seems to make sense. The two people walked into the restaurant one after the other to punch in, then quickly retreated and hid in the room of Tasker No. 1 to ambush.
Number 1 is incredibly strong and used to being on top of others, so he definitely wouldn't think twice about going back to his room.
In addition, her weapon is a whip that is more suitable for long-range attacks. If a character like an assassin attacks from behind, she may not have time to swing the whip.
Being attacked from both sides, with an assassin and a warrior, No. 1, who is a long-range whipper, was probably at a disadvantage because of this.
Thinking of this, Song Yue's brows furrowed.
If No. 1 is being targeted, how far can I, No. 2, be?
099 didn't have as many thoughts as her. He just kept exclaiming in surprise, and couldn't believe that someone really attacked No. 1.
"I know who Number 1's system is," he said excitedly. "That guy is very powerful. He's my contemporary. His previous tasker was also Number 1. He had a good chance of being selected by the main system, but unfortunately..."
099 sighed. "Its tasker was thrown into a Shura Field promotion dungeon. As soon as he entered, he was besieged by others. No matter how powerful the tasker was, he couldn't fight four hands with two fists. In the end, he died on the second to last day."
Song Yue's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she was quite curious: "Do you also inquire about other people's news among your systems?"
It feels just like in real life when relatives and friends ask other people’s children whether they are married or have children.
099 groaned and waved his hand. "I'm not that nosy. It's mainly because this guy is too amazing. The main system has high hopes for him before he even graduated. After he took office, he spread news about him everywhere. I think it's hard for him not to know."
Song Yue nodded, as if she had a better understanding of 099 and its kind.
"Now that No. 1 is dead, will it have any impact on her system?"
099: "Yes, of course! The last time I bound a tasker, he gave up on himself, so I was locked up in the dark room by the main system. This guy was highly expected by the main system, and I invested a lot of energy in him. Now he has failed twice in a row, I guess he will be... executed..."
implement?
"What is that?"
099 was silent for a moment, then said, "It's probably similar to what you humans call scrapped..."
Song Yue was suddenly stunned and clenched her hands slightly.
She stared at 099's deliberately averted eyes, took a deep breath, and asked, "If I die, will you also be executed?"
099 suddenly turned his head and stared at her intently, as if he was quite surprised that she would ask this question: "...Xiaoyue, are you worried about me?"
This was the first time he had been cared for by someone, and it felt strange, but also seemed reasonable. After all, he was also worried about his tasker.
After asking, he scratched his head. "I'm not as good as that guy. The main system has given me a semi-free-range training. I guess I should have one more chance than that guy, right?"
One more time? And it was just a guess?
Song Yue suddenly felt a surge of irritability in her chest and was very unhappy.
Why does 099's life have to depend on the main system? Can it be deployed and withdrawn at will?
It is obvious that 099 and the others have their own consciousness and emotions, and are not robots that execute orders according to programs. To put it bluntly, except for not having a fixed character shell, they are almost exactly the same as humans inside.
What is the difference between executing them and killing them?
Song Yue listened to the noise from Room 1 next door gradually disappearing, her eyes drooping, her lips tightly pursed, and after a while, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked fixedly at the person in front of her.
"099, do you want to live?" she asked.
099's eyes widened, and he was stunned: "Why are you asking me this all of a sudden?"
Song Yue's expression remained unchanged, but his attitude became tougher: "Answer me."
The air was silent for two seconds.
The next moment, he said, "I want to. I really want to live."
Even if he is just a system, he wants to live well.
"Okay, I understand." After getting the answer she wanted to hear, Song Yue patted 099's shoulder and smiled a smile that was hard to tell whether it was contempt or a challenge. "From today on, I will help you realize your wish."
099 opened his mouth: "Ah...?!!"
On the fourth day of the copy, Song Yue did not see No. 1 in the restaurant again.
Glancing at the other taskers, it seemed they were also trying to figure out where No. 1 had gone.
After all, how could such a powerful person suddenly disappear?
But the truth is that when the countdown ended, no one found any trace of No. 1.
"She's not going to die, is she?"
Behind him, someone was muttering softly.
"Impossible?" someone immediately retorted, "With her weapons and skills, who would dare to mess with her?"
"But I looked around carefully just now, and I really didn't see her."
“Ah, this…”
Suddenly, a voice interrupted their conversation: "Didn't you see the system notification yesterday? Didn't it say that No. 1 was dead?"
The person chatting whispered, "What?! Dead?"
"Yeah, you guys really don't read the news? He died a long time ago, and I don't know who did it, but he's really capable."
There was a sudden burst of cool air all around.
Song Yue listened silently, taking in everyone's expressions.
"Tsk, if you ask me, she deserved it." Some expressed regret, while others naturally sarcastically said, "Remember those three people who died on the first night? She was the one who killed them all. That woman kept knocking on doors, pretending to be pitiful, begging for help. A few people were soft-hearted and opened the door, and she killed them on the spot. It's better for people like that to die, so we don't have to worry about them later."
When the people around heard this, they all stared in amazement: "So she was the one who killed him? I was wondering why he died in the house on the first day. Could it be that he wasn't frozen to death, but was murdered?!"
However, someone immediately questioned: "That's not right. How do you know it was No. 1 who did it? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
The person being questioned wasn't afraid and immediately responded, "Because she knocked on the door too! But I didn't open it. Later, when I heard her footsteps fade away, I opened the door a little and saw someone open the door. She rushed in and killed them instantly."
"Hiss—what a cruel woman, killing people for no reason."
"Yeah, I think the ones at the top of the list are tough guys. We have to be on high alert."
As he spoke, Song Yue noticed that the people who had been surrounding him and 099 unconsciously kept some distance from each other.
This is good, she thought, so that no one would get close to her and she would have to be on guard the whole time.
After checking in at the restaurant, most of the taskers went upstairs to their rooms as usual, just like in the previous few days.
A small group of people did not return the same way, but went to the restaurant kitchen to look for food.
Today is the fourth day. If they don't have any props and haven't snatched other people's backpacks, today will be the day they run out of food and ammunition, so they must go find something to eat.
Before Song Yue left, she noticed several people following her in.
Soon, several screams were heard from the restaurant's kitchen.
Death reminders pop up one after another, just like a computer infected with a virus.
099 hurriedly pushed Song Yue and urged her to go back quickly to avoid unnecessary trouble.
But she tilted her head and asked, "Can we escape if we go back?"
099 was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Song Yue didn't think about 099 answering, and followed the other taskers slowly, saying as he walked, "Yesterday the spearhead was targeted at No. 1, I guess it's my turn today."
She spoke so lightly, as if she was not talking about life and death, but an insignificant joke.
099 stared at her back, and suddenly felt a different breath from before.
Before, she would worry about death, get upset and get hurt, but now, it seems like all her worries have vanished?
He hurried after her and grabbed her: "Wait a minute, if you knew that No. 5 and the other guy were going to deal with you, why did you go upstairs?"
Then he rolled his eyes and said, "Let's go find another empty room. So many taskers have died. Let's just pick one and live in it. I don't believe they can guess it!"
He thought Song Yue would agree, but she gently pushed his hand away and said firmly, "No, I'm going back to my room."
You want to kill her, right? You want to take her resources, right?
OK.
Since you don't leave her and 099 any chance to survive, don't blame her for being ruthless.
His footsteps stirred up a sharp wind, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
The moment Song Yue swiped the card to open the door, he rushed in like a gust of wind!
No. 5, who had been waiting for a long time, had no idea that she would move so quickly. He stood by the bed and didn't react at all.
He raised the axe hastily.
But then a flash of knife light appeared, and with a "puff", blood spurted out from the throat, like a cut blood bag, spraying continuously.
[Slit throat, HP -50]
[Falling into "bleeding" state, losing 10 health points per second]
[Bleeding, -10]
[Note: Your current health is below 50%, and your actions will be significantly restricted.]
No. 5 had never seen the health bar drop so fast. He opened his mouth wide, covered his throat in horror, and tried to stop the blood from spurting out with his hands.
But his blood was falling too fast. When the girl cut his chest before, she only lost 5 points of blood per minute.
But now! Every second!
He had no time to hesitate!
He turned around and wanted to take off his backpack and use the tourniquet inside, but suddenly, he found that he could not move!
[Attention, the current health is less than 25%, and the ability to move is lost]
What?! Can't move?!
"No!" He was locked in place, unable to move, and the blood flowed all over his body.
"Number 6, save me..." In desperation, he had to put all his hopes on Number 6, "You said... help me..."
However, he had just finished speaking.
[Attention, the current health is 0, you have been eliminated]
No!
No. 5’s face turned pale, and the next moment, he disappeared completely as a white light.
Song Yue just watched coldly, without any emotion in his eyes.
Suddenly, she felt the murderous intent approaching from behind her ear, and she dodged sideways, blocking the way with the dagger.
Bang!
The two daggers collided, making a crisp sound.
"You reacted quickly, no wonder you're number 2."
Facing her reaction, No. 6's eyebrows curved slightly, revealing an approving look, but then, with his second attack, it instantly transformed into a chilling murderous intent!
The aura is completely different from before, it can even be said that they are two different people.
Song Yue guessed that No. 6 had been hiding his strength.
She raised the dagger, took the attack steadily, then started to speed up, climbed the wall in two steps, and then spun around and chopped down!
No. 6 was blocking from below, and he wanted to grin at her for overestimating her abilities, but suddenly, he felt an irresistible force from above. He used all his strength, and veins on his arms bulged.
"I didn't expect you to be so strong." He gritted his teeth, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
Seeing that his downward attack failed, Song Yue immediately withdrew and retreated to the window.
Number 6 saw the opportunity and chased after him without hesitation.
His dagger was cold and fierce, and it pierced into Song Yue's chest with a "swish".
"You don't take it seriously enough." No. 6 curled the corners of his lips and pushed the dagger in his hand into his flesh.
Song Yue tried to resist desperately, but found that her movements became extremely slow.
She bit her lower lip and glared fiercely at the person in front of her, unable to utter a word on her pale face.
"Haha, you can't move, right?" Number 6 sensed her struggling movements, and the smugness in his eyes grew even stronger. "Don't be fooled by your seemingly low-key demeanor. In fact, you're just like Number 1, conceited and arrogant."
"You thought no one would dare to touch you, did you?"
"Yes, I admit, I didn't have the guts at first. But when I saw No. 5's eyes constantly moving around No. 1, you, and No. 3, I suddenly realized that killing you might get some hidden rewards."
"The reward is a good thing. It's worth everything I have to get it."
'Haha, I didn't expect that I would actually guess right. I killed No. 1 and got 200 points.'
"Let me see how many points I can get by killing you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the strength in his hands suddenly increased.
However, he did not see any panic or fear in Song Yue's eyes.
Instead, a hint of pride flashed across his face.
Wait, he suddenly realized something!
Damn it, how could he have ignored that guy with such a weak presence? !
He immediately drew out the dagger and turned around quickly.
However, it was too late. A thin object pierced the back of his neck, and then a cold pain spread from the back of his head throughout his body!
"...You...!" His pupils widened, and his distorted facial expression showed both shock and belated realization.
But in the end, all was buried by the fear before death.
With a plop, he curled up and fell to the ground because of the strange medicine in the syringe.
099 looked down at him, his eyes full of dissatisfaction, "You are the one who is conceited, not Xiaoyue."
After he finished speaking, a white light flashed before his eyes, and he and Song Yue were the only ones left in the messy room.
At this time, Song Yue was out of danger. The moment she swallowed the comfrey potion, her blood volume stopped at 30% and began to rise slowly.
[The medicine takes effect, and the blood volume increases by 5 points per minute]
To restore it to full value, just wait 14 minutes.
It’s not a big problem. Just lie in bed for a while and recover your fatigue level which has just dropped rapidly.
Fighting will cause the fatigue value to decrease. The more intense the fight, the faster it decreases.
Therefore, the taskers should either try to avoid fighting as much as possible, or end the fight quickly to avoid dragging themselves into the trap.
But today's sleight of hand was pretty good.
No. 6 was very cautious, and if she wasn't injured, there was no way he would let his guard down.
I'm just a little tired.
Song Yue thought about it and climbed onto the bed: "I'll take a nap first, wake me up later."
099 tucked the quilt for her and said softly: "Okay."
Even breathing soon reached my ears.
099 looked at her with a complicated expression, his eyes full of worry.
It's too dangerous, he frowned tightly. If he was a little slower or the needle went astray, she would be eliminated.
It was such a stressful task, but she did it without any worries at all!
Does she trust herself so much?
What if he made a mistake? What if he betrayed her trust?
099 had never felt so scared before. His client was lying on the bed and breathing evenly, but he felt a huge palpitation, as if he was almost about to lose the most important thing!
