Han Xiaodong went to the surface to get some air, so he can hold out for a while longer by avoiding Haizhu, but the current situation is not optimistic.
They've run out of bullets on the mountain, and the two of them combined can't beat Gwen. As long as Jiang Ran survives, victory will still be in his hands!
Han Xiaodong raised his arm to his mouth, as if communicating with something.
"Are you confident you can beat her? That guy's gun's out of bullets, so you don't need to worry."
A sharp pain shot through his arm. Han Xiaodong sighed softly and shook his hands, indicating that he was powerless to do anything about it.
“Little girl! How about we make a deal?” Shan Shang put down his shotgun. “Although I don’t know why Jiang Ran isn’t here, he might encounter other dangers on his way here, such as sea monsters or waves. In other words, he might not make it to you alive!”
"As long as you hand over the bead in your hand to me, I can clear the level and leave the world right now. Everyone else will also be teleported out, so there will naturally be no danger."
Yamagami continued, "Of course, this time the world's reward will be split equally between Sakura and Dragon Kingdom, and I assure you, in the spirit of a samurai, if I ever appear in the same world as Jiang Ran again, I will not shoot you with my gun."
Gwen pursed her lips and stared at him with distrust.
The research rewards for clearing the game are useless to Gwen. She must ensure that the winner is Jiang Ran in order to obtain a [Nico's Help]. If the winner is Yamagami, then this trip to the world will have been a waste for Gwen.
Furthermore, Gwen doesn't believe a word of that so-called samurai spirit. It sounds nice now, but in the next world, you might have to shoot each other when you meet!
Gwen could ignore any other factors, but the safety of Jiang Ran, which Yamamoto also mentioned, was something Gwen absolutely could not ignore!
"What, little girl, have you thought it through?" Shan Shang also lowered his voice, "Every minute that drags on, Jiang Ran is in greater danger of dying!"
"Alright! You can shut up now!" Gwen interrupted Yamagami directly. "I won't listen to your nonsense, I believe him!"
Having overcome so many dangers along the way, Jiang Ran now possesses the physique of the Sea Heir, coupled with the Thousand Jade Seal. Even if they encounter sea beasts, it's uncertain who will defeat whom!
"Since you won't listen to my advice, I'll have no choice but to take action!"
Shan Shang also threw away his shotgun, his right arm veins bulging. He now possessed the body of Hai Si, and in a real fight, he might not be able to defeat Gwen!
Yamagami also threw a punch, and Gwen blocked it with her scissors. Yamagami's strength was indeed heavy, but it was far inferior to that of Sirius and Planck!
Those two are both bizarre creatures. After being injected with Hai Si blood, their strength is naturally even more terrifying. But Shan Shang was originally just an ordinary person. Hai Si blood can allow him to easily defeat Tyson, but it is not enough to defeat Gwen!
If it's just about defense, Gwen could fight him here for a whole day and night!
"So, the main characters are always the last to appear?"
The three of them turned to look into the distance, where a huge whale was charging towards them and stopped right in front of them!
The whale opened its enormous mouth, and Jiang Ran jumped out and even touched the whale's skin.
"Thanks for your help, buddy."
The whale let out an excited cry before reluctantly leaving.
"They came by whale? That's even possible?"
"Brother Jiang's slick moves are as impressive as ever!"
Yama immediately turned his attention to Jiang Ran and threw a punch at him. However, Jiang Ran was also a being with the Sea Heir and had the power boost from the Thousand Jade Seal, making him stronger than Yama!
The two men's fists collided heavily, and Shan Shang, clutching his aching arm, took a half-step back, still feeling a little resentful.
"Damn it, why am I missing a bullet for no reason?"
On the mountain, he kept calculating how many bullets he had used. Logically, after killing the statue gatekeeper, he should have had one bullet left to deal with the final round, but inexplicably, the last bullet that should have been there disappeared!
Yamagami's talent allows him to ignore the rules and kill other ghost story masters, but he only has one chance per world, and killing a ghost story master will deduct an extra bullet, so he has never used this chance.
The purpose is to wait for the last bullet. Anyway, there's only one bullet left. You can deduct extra bullets if you want, but you won't get any.
"The rules for nighttime have been relaxed, so killing someone during that time won't deduct extra ammunition. Could my calculations be wrong? I clearly remember not attacking any other ghost storytellers outside of that time."
Yamagami was extremely frustrated; he had lost in a completely inexplicable way!
"Phew, it's time for everything to end."
Han Xiaodong and Yamashita, two major variables, almost snatched the victory. It seems we must be more careful in the future.
The people sent by other countries to deal with him... are getting more and more skilled!
Gwen handed the pearl to Jiang Ran, who held it in his hand, feeling the warmth emanating from his palm.
"Is this the legendary secret to immortality?"
Jiang Ran closed his eyes, then crushed the pearl with both hands!
"Unfortunately, immortality is nothing but an illusion; let it be buried forever in this seabed."
[Congratulations to Jiang Ran, the Ghost Storyteller from the Dragon Kingdom, for clearing the S-rank Ghost Story World: Abyss Cruise, with an overall rating of 99 points, Excellent]
Gwen [Nico's Helper] Quantity: 2/6.
Jiang Ran returned to the real world. In a deserted corner, he opened his clothes and found that the gill-like organs on both sides had indeed disappeared.
"Can things from the world of ghost stories ultimately not be brought into reality? Oh well, that's fine too."
Han Xiaodong smiled helplessly at Mo Sheng: "Sorry, it was still a little short in the end."
"Phew, you're good to be alive."
This time, both of the ghost story tellers in the British Empire received 1/4 of the reward, which together amounted to 1/2, so the higher-ups had no complaints.
The mountain also returned to its own country.
"What, driving? Why are you staring at me?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Yamagami is still Yamagami, and his status will not change. Sakura is not foolish enough to kill him. If people have to die for disobeying the country's death order, how many people in Sakura would be willing to become ghost story tellers once such a thing gets out?
They are human beings too, and they don't want to be pawns who can be discarded at any time.
