Strangely, there was no sadness in Cheng Shi's eyes.
Or maybe he didn't care about Bailing's death at all.
He constantly accelerated his metabolism, trying to use the magic of time to offset the control effects brought about by the negative state.
But unfortunately, the real world is not a turn-based game. While Cheng Shi was struggling, the guards were not idle either.
As a singer, inflicting negative status on the enemy is his forte. He constantly releases his tricks, squeezing Cheng Shi's few living spaces.
Before long, Cheng Shi felt that he was powerless and was defeated in the struggle on the brink of death. He was completely routed and could only wait to die.
The guard walked up to Cheng Shi and saw that he was no longer moving. His eyes were dull, so he shook his head and sighed:
"Underground bugs should stay underground, but sometimes bugs have their own uses. I like you and hate you at the same time. What a contradiction."
But before he could finish his words, the guard suddenly raised his sword and stabbed it through Cheng Shi's chest with lightning speed.
Don't give him any chance to turn the tables.
“Squeak!”
The tip of the sword pierced the heart.
Cheng Shi's eyes widened and his pupils shrank suddenly. Within a few seconds, the light in his eyes suddenly disappeared.
Just before his vision fell into complete darkness, he saw the door opposite him suddenly kicked open with a bang, and a familiar face came into view.
"Brother Cheng!?!"
It’s Ming.
But it was too late.
Cheng Shi smiled unwillingly and closed his eyes completely.
...
As soon as A Ming entered the room, he felt the strong power of [Order]. He looked at his two teammates who had fallen to the ground, and with a crazy look on his face, he rushed towards the guard who had a horrified look on his face.
“Kill you! Kill you!!”
"How is this possible? This is the realm of Order. How can you be free from restraints?!"
"【Order?】I am 【Order】!"
This was clearly a blasphemous statement, but A Ming did not receive divine punishment!
He was muttering something frantically, his expression twisted and fierce, and he flashed behind the guard.
The guard was unable to react in time, and the expression of fear on his face became even more exaggerated. He seemed to want to shout something, but before he could say anything, a bloody dagger pierced his back.
Then, it penetrated straight into his chest.
A dirty yellow light flashed on the dagger. The guard looked at the tip of the blade on his chest, spat out a mouthful of dirty blood, and died with his eyes open.
"Brother Cheng! I've avenged you!"
A Ming's voice was distorted and whimpering. He kicked the corpse in front of him away, then sat on the ground powerlessly, his eyes blank.
At this moment, Fang Shiqing rushed in from outside with Xu Lu.
A Ming looked up at them, tears still in his eyes.
When Xu Lu saw such a tragic scene, her face turned pale and she grabbed Fang Shiqing's clothes tightly.
Even though she didn't like Cheng Shi, as a fellow player she couldn't help but feel a little sad for him.
Fang Shiqing looked at everything in front of her, looked at the dead Bailing and Cheng Shi, and bit her lips tightly.
Almost bloodless.
"how so......"
But she reacted quickly, turned around and closed the door, and said seriously:
"what happened?"
"I don't know. I was a little late. I was exploring the second floor when I heard a noise in this room, so I rushed over. When I entered the room, Brother Cheng and Niao Niao and the others..."
A Ming seemed to feel very guilty. He rubbed his hair and lowered his head to the ground.
"Who's that on the bed?"
As soon as I asked, I saw Xu Lu's face change, pointing at the person on the bed and exclaimed:
"It's him! He's the one who died in the prophecy!"
Fang Shiqing was shocked and looked back at Xu Lu in disbelief.
She suddenly realized that the dead person on the bed was most likely the Duke who had been missing.
Xu Lu saw that the scene was exactly the same as the blurry picture in the prophecy, and she muttered to herself in dismay:
"It turns out that we are not the ones who are going to die, but... the Duke is dead, and that Cheng..."
Although no players died in the prophecy, now, two players did die.
Looking at this scene, there are only two possibilities:
Either Cheng Shi caught the guards killing someone and the guards tried to silence him.
Either the guards caught Cheng Shi killing someone and Cheng Shi was unable to fight back.
As for which one...
Fang Shiqing had just finished her guess when Xu Lu, who was standing beside her, lowered her head and said:
"I think... the guards must have seen Cheng Shi kill someone..."
Fang Shiqing's face became serious, a flash of disdain flashed across her eyes, and she asked in a cold tone:
"Why?"
"He might be trying to steal the Duke's identity... He's like... someone like that."
Although she knew it was not a good idea to say these things now, Xu Lu still mustered up the courage to express her guess for some reason.
Fang Shiqing frowned when she heard this, but she managed to hold back from getting angry.
"Sister Fang...what should we do now?"
Fang Shiqing looked at the watch and saw that nearly 7 hours had passed and there were only more than 5 hours left.
"You go out first and find a way to guard the door. As their companions, you have to see them off."
A Ming looked at Fang Shiqing in confusion, as if he remembered that this big shot was also a singer.
The singer records the story, and the protagonists of the story are often people of all kinds.
Of course, this also includes all kinds of dead people.
So they are good at singing funeral songs and reciting eulogies.
Xu Lu felt that this ritual might be a waste of time, but when she saw Fang Shiqing's determined expression, she bit her lip and walked out.
