Xia Linyin covered the clown's mouth, cupped his cheeks in her hands, hooked out the key with her tongue, and then shoved the stunned clown away.
Spitting out the key, Xia Linyin gripped it tightly and ran desperately toward the exit. About two hundred meters ahead, a tightly closed door suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Clearly, the appearance of the gate was triggered by the player obtaining the key.
"Demon Sound!" Lightning shouted.
Xia Linyin understood and tossed the key to the faster lightning. After catching the key, lightning increased its speed to the maximum and turned into a gust of wind, rushing towards the door.
The clown didn't chase after the lightning. Instead, he extended his thumb and gently touched his lips, which were so red they were almost bleeding, as if savoring the feeling from just now.
The next second, he teleported in front of Xia Linyin. "Do it again, just like before."
Xia Linyin suddenly stopped and turned to flee in another direction, but the clown teleported in front of her again, blocking her way.
"One more time." Like a child desperate for candy, the clown stared intently at Xia Linyin. "Just like before, kiss me again!"
Xia Linyin was like a fly trapped in a glass bottle, constantly bumping against the walls, but still trying to fly out. She turned around and ran in another direction.
The clown licked his crimson lips, a sweet smile curving his lips as he called out in a lingering, seductive voice, "Sister~"
Xia Linyin stopped abruptly, her eyes flickering with intense emotion.
The clown darted behind Xia Linyin, gracefully leaned down, and said cheerfully in her ear, "Sister, we meet again."
"Are you happy to see Xiao Li, sister?" Xiao Li reached out from behind Xia Linyin, her arms like snakes, one wrapped around Xia Linyin's waist and the other around her shoulder.
He held Xia Linyin captive in his arms in a possessive and confining manner.
Xia Linyin struggled, but was met with an even tighter restraint from behind, the force so great it seemed to embed her entirely into his chest.
A chill, both strange and familiar, swept through her body. Xia Linyin couldn't help but recall the scene in the previous game where Xiao Li had pinned her to the ground. Now, Xiao Li was even more terrifying than her ghost.
Whether it was his slender figure, the wicked smile on his lips, or his deep, magnetic voice, everything about him gave Xia Linyin a shiver that ran deep in her soul.
Yes, she should have realized it sooner. From the moment the Joker started acting unpredictably and displayed overwhelming power, she should have realized that this Joker was extraordinary.
He might be Xiao Li, because Xiao Li once told her that he would also play various NPC roles in other games.
But why did Xiao Li initially disown her and treat her like a complete stranger? Now he's clinging to her, wanting to see her smash dice in front of him like an idiot, and even making such outrageous bets. Is it fun to play tricks on her?
Xia Linyin voiced the question that was on her mind: "Is it fun to play with me?"
"Sister, you've really wronged me." Xiao Li's aggrieved voice came from behind. "If you want to find where you are, you have to pay a price."
Then, he hooked Xia Linyin's little finger with his own and promised, "It won't happen again next time. Xiao Li will definitely get stronger and stronger."
He needs to be strong enough to completely break free from the game's control, strong enough to break free from the constraints he's bound to.
What should I do, sister? Since meeting you, Xiao Li has become increasingly dissatisfied with her own power.
"You found me based on the dice cup?"
Xia Linyin quickly figured out the reason for the incident. It seemed that the dice cup was like a tracking device, and Xiao Li had used the dice cup to find her.
However, this behavior was clearly a departure from the game's control. Perhaps he was attacked by the game, or perhaps he had exhausted his own power. His consciousness was affected, and he failed to recognize her immediately.
No wonder his eyes changed when he saw the dice cup.
Xiao Li nodded, "Yes, there's my scent on the dice cup."
Xia Linyin felt that Xiao Li's behavior was too dangerous. She didn't know what Xiao Li could do in the game. She had many mysteries and doubts about the game and about Xiao Li, who was a game bug.
However, she knew that what Xiao Li was doing must be very dangerous. He had finally gained the ability not to have his memories erased, and he might become like other NPCs because of this dangerous behavior.
Just as Xia Linyin was about to tell Xiao Li to stop looking for her, a light, melodious bell rang out.
Rose, turning back, shook the red bell in her hand and stared intently at Xiao Li. "Let her go!"
Standing beside her was Night Owl, who pointed his gun at Xiao Li. Although he knew that the laser gun in his hand could not deal with the clown, there was no fear in his eyes. As the captain, he could not abandon his team members.
Lightning had already been kicked to the other side of the door. It was believed that once Lightning was out of the amusement park, he would be able to report the situation back to his superiors.
Putting aside all his doubts, he chose to trust his teammates.
The door, opened by lightning with a key, leads to a swirling vortex, like the entrance to a time tunnel.
The moment the bell rang, Xiao Li released Xia Linyin's shoulders, his long, jade-like fingers clasping her delicate neck. Feeling the pulse throbbing beneath his palm, he asked with a smile, "Sister's heart is beating so fast, is it because of me?"
Xia Linyin bit her lip and remained silent.
Xiao Li held Xia Linyin's neck, a dangerous move, yet it exuded an ambiguous and inexplicable air.
He looked up at Rose and Night Owl, but before he could even see what he was doing, Night Owl was thrown out of the amusement park.
After being thrown out of the amusement park, the owl was stunned for a few seconds before running towards the park, but this time he was blocked by the barrier.
He slammed his fist against the barrier. Why did the clown throw him out alone? Was he really different?
Who caused the problem – his teammates or him?
Why can all of his teammates, except for him, suddenly transform into all sorts of inexplicable weapons?
Night Owl frantically smashed the barrier. He had never felt so terrified before. He vaguely sensed that a pair of giant hands were controlling everything in the dark, and he was clearly the one being kept in the dark.
"I want her. If you leave her here, I'll let you go. Otherwise, you and the other person who just escaped will both die."
Xiao Li's deep, magnetic voice, coupled with his seductive words, made it hard not to be tempted. "One for two, a very worthwhile deal, isn't it?"
“The key was obtained by Demon Sound.” Rose shook the blood bell persistently, her gaze firm. “I am a person of principle.”
"Oh?" Seemingly having heard something interesting, Xiao Li raised an eyebrow slightly and asked another question, "Then would you be willing to exchange yourself for her? You stay, and she leaves."
