Between ten million points and a man, which is more important? No matter how difficult the choice is, I've already made my decision.
So now she's in a stalemate: either she gives up the mission points, or she'll never get past the hurdle of atonement.
Thinking of this, Xu Nian felt very distressed.
She didn't want to give up on the points, but she couldn't get past the redemption-themed game, and the missions were failing as well. It was really a difficult situation.
Just then, there were several more loud "bangs" as several more players collapsed to the ground.
Their expressions before death varied, and bloodstains beside them continued to write the story of their sins in this life.
Xie Baiyu had no interest in the other players; his gaze was fixed on Xu Nian. Noticing that she seemed distracted, his eyes darkened.
I'm preoccupied with something on my mind!
Before Xie Baiyu could even subtly probe Xu Nian for information, the little demon, who had disappeared for a long time, reappeared.
She looked at the thirteen players still standing in the hall, clapped her hands, and giggled.
"I didn't expect so many people to still be alive! Not bad, not bad!"
"We've passed this hurdle today. Ladies and gentlemen, please come upstairs." Xiao Yao turned slightly to the side, smiling as she extended her hand.
At the same time, a red carpet was laid down on the stairs leading to the second floor, and twinkling lights lit up on both sides, instantly creating a wonderful atmosphere.
Knowing that they had only been there for one day, everyone looked very unhappy.
In the illusion, some people have already lived for several days.
This wave of returning to square one would make anyone feel psychologically unbalanced.
"Are you guys messing with our game? We players don't have time to play, and these past few days, it's been you game promoters who have been calling the shots."
"That's right, this is unfair. They could have just killed us directly, but instead they chose to play this game to toy with us. What are they really up to?"
Two men took the lead in speaking, and the others nodded in agreement.
The thirteen people stood at the top of the stairs leading to the second floor, none of them intending to go up.
The little demon sneered when she saw these people trying to negotiate with her. "Here, my master's rules are the rules. The game dictates how you play, and you have to play accordingly. Otherwise, why should my master grant you an impossible wish?"
“You should be glad that my master doesn’t like to see people killing each other, otherwise you would all be dead.”
"Anyone else who doesn't want to rest tonight? I'll send them on their way right now, so as not to spoil everyone's fun playing the game." After saying that, Xiao Yao's eyes gleamed with eager anticipation.
She really wanted to get rid of a few disobedient ones to save herself the trouble of talking to them.
For a moment, no one dared to speak.
If you can live, no one wants to deliberately seek death.
Especially after knowing that they have a chance to fulfill that wish if they live, no one wants to die without knowing why.
Seeing that no one stepped forward, the little demon curled her lip in disdain, muttered "This is really boring," and left listlessly.
She left in the direction of a dark passage.
Most players breathed a sigh of relief after seeing her figure swallowed by the darkness.
The remaining ten or so people looked at each other.
After a long while, I finally came to terms with reality.
No matter what's on the second floor, they have to go.
Currently, going to the second floor seems to be part of the redemption-themed game.
Xie Baiyu toyed with the soft hand in hers, already making plans in her mind as she imagined spending the night alone with Xu Nian without being disturbed.
He'd been eyeing her for a long time, and this time he should finally get to enjoy her.
Xu Nian felt very uncomfortable under Xie Baiyu's fierce gaze. She struggled slightly to free her hand from his grasp.
In this short time, some players had already gone up to the second floor.
With someone taking the lead, the other players followed suit one after another, with Xu Nian and Xie Baiyu reaching the end.
"Xie Baiyu, do you think we're in the illusion or outside of it?" A thought flashed through Xu Nian's mind, but she couldn't quite grasp what it was.
"Niannian, are you saying we might still be in an illusion?" Xie Baiyu's fiery eyes instantly darkened.
If things are really as Xu Nian described, then that would be terrible.
If one cannot distinguish between illusion and reality, and one's perception becomes distorted, it can lead to mental derangement.
"Niannian, do you think I'm real or fake?" Xie Baiyu looked at Xu Nian nervously, afraid that she wouldn't recognize her.
"It's true for now." Xu Nian's brows furrowed with worry, fearing that Xie Baiyu might be switched out halfway through the journey, and she wouldn't even know when a fake had appeared beside her.
"It's good that you can recognize me. Niannian, I've decided, we'll sleep together tonight. That way you won't not recognize me when you wake up tomorrow morning!" Xie Baiyu put his arm around Xu Nian's shoulder.
Under her suspicious gaze, Xie Baiyu added with particular sincerity, "I swear, I will never touch you."
Anyway, he only wants kisses; as long as it doesn't go that far, it doesn't count as touching.
"Xie Baiyu, do I look like an idiot?" Xu Nian sneered, shook off the hand on her shoulder, went into an empty room, and closed the door.
With lightning speed, Xie Baiyu was locked out of the room.
He knocked on the door unwillingly and said, "Niannian, open the door. You're doomed if I try to open it."
"We'll talk about it then." Xu Nian stretched and smiled.
When Xu Nian came out of the bathroom after washing up, there was no sound coming from the doorway.
Night fell, all was quiet, and nothing happened.
Perhaps it's true, as Xiao Yao said, that nighttime is a time for these players to rest.
Xu Nian lay on the soft bed, mentally reviewing what had happened since she entered the castle.
