218 Cruel and Brutal
Because you will die here
Just like the results in the previous times, this time, the door opened, but still no familiar figure came out.
Like everyone else, Liu Ge also died.
They lost their companions again.
In this battle with God, they were completely defeated and lost everything.
“…”
Qi Qiuxue held Li Yiqing's hand tighter.
She glanced sideways at Li Yiqing's eyes, as if she was thinking about something. She was silent for a long time. After a long while, she suddenly said, "Ah Qing, you have experienced this kind of pain before, right?"
"We all met each other through fate, and from knowing each other to being together, we have experienced a lot. We regard each other as our best friends and closest family. We once thought that these happy days would continue forever."
"But later, one person after another died in front of you, just like now." Qi Qiuxue's eyes were red and her throat was dry, but her voice gradually calmed down, becoming light and peaceful.
"When did I leave?" she asked. "In the first world line, did I stay with you until the end?"
"Ah Qing, I understand you better and better."
Qi Qiuxue raised her eyes and looked at the crack that had opened again. In such a short time, it had already swallowed up her four teammates, but even so, it was still not satisfied. It just quietly and cruelly "opened its arms" and waited for the next player to enter.
What will happen inside?
Will someone be swallowed up this time?
"Thank you for everything you've done." The dazzling light reflected in Qi Qiuxue's eyes. She closed her eyes in this light, and then opened them again. What appeared in her eyes was a tenacity that was more beautiful than the light. "Thank you for restarting the world line, thank you for saving us."
"I won't die this time. I'll make your efforts worthwhile," she said. "No matter what happens, I'll be there until the end."
Perhaps noticing the tears welling up in Li Yiqing's eyes, Qi Qiuxue raised her hand and wiped them away with a smile: "Go, Ah Qing, just like every time we enter the dungeon, struggle, run, and survive, and have a good fight with the gods."
"But don't bear the pressure this time." She said, slowly walking forward and hugging the person in front of her tightly. She leaned against her heart and said softly, "Just do what you can and then face the corresponding results."
"Whether alive or dead, we will surely meet again, here, or in the next world line, or the one after that."
"We will never be separated." Qi Qiuxue loosened her arms and gently pushed the person in front of her forward. She looked at her with warm and gentle eyes, as if the two of them were only separated for a short time and she was just seeing her lover out of the house.
"I promise you."
-
"Do you think she will win or lose?" The door closed again, and only Qi Qiuxue and the only god were left in this huge space. The god in front of him spoke softly as if chatting.
"I don't know." After a long silence, Qi Qiuxue finally answered her question.
"But we will win in the end."
"Really?" The god smiled after hearing this and said nothing more. Instead, he began to wait quietly for the result of the game, just like the human in front of him.
This was the longest game. Qi Qiuxue waited from dawn to dusk, and then it started to rain in the sky.
This was the first time she had ever seen rain here. The raindrops were huge and fell to the ground with a crackling sound, like exploding fireworks.
Qi Qiuxue was quickly drenched by the rain, her hair was disheveled and she was shivering slightly. She was like an abandoned dog left in the rain, looking disheveled and pitiful, helpless and miserable, but she had a tenacious vitality.
As if she believed in something, and as if she would not be shaken by anything, her eyes remained as resolute as ever during this silent and boring waiting time.
"Ah, the door is open." The voice of God came to my ears.
Because it was late at night, the light was even more prominent. The fifth game finally ended at this moment, and the long-awaited answer was finally announced at this moment.
No.
This time, there was still nothing in the light.
The god shifted his gaze and looked at Qi Qiuxue's face again. The rain poured down on her body, soaking her cheeks and hair, and then turned into strings of water droplets that flowed down quickly.
She saw Qi Qiuxue raise her hand to wipe away the water stains on her face, perhaps from the rain, or perhaps from tears, but soon, she raised her eyes again, as if nothing had happened, and the gods could no longer read any sadness on her face.
"Let's go."
Without waiting for the god to speak, she took a step forward. Perhaps the road ahead was difficult and dangerous, but no matter what, no one could tell her to "be careful" anymore.
This time, it is the final showdown.
This is also the final battle between humans and gods at this moment.
It was also raining inside the door. There was no trace of blood or fighting anywhere in sight, as if it had been washed away by the heavy rain.
Qi Qiuxue quickly checked her backpack. Apart from some ordinary props, all the god-level props were lying in it intact.
That was the last gift her teammates left her.
[Damage Transfer.] (One hour, transfers the damage you received to a specific person.)
[Attribute Boosting Potion.] (Increases all panel attributes by 3, until health is completely depleted.)
[Regeneration.] (Time limit: one hour. Within the time limit, lost organs can be regenerated without limit.)
Qi Qiuxue chose to use all of them.
"...Thank you." Her voice was very soft, blending into the rain and soon becoming silent.
Perhaps only the dead souls can hear these words clearly.
The god in front of him came again. She stood in front of Qi Qiuxue, revealing the face hidden under the mask. She had a pair of blue eyes, snow-white skin and hair. Her face was beautiful and full of divinity.
"My name is Purcell." She smiled, and suddenly a golden void appeared in front of her. She reached into the void, fumbled around briefly, and then pulled something out. "And my weapon is..."
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out and Qi Qiuxue dodged quickly. The bullet grazed her arm, leaving a bloody mark on her skin.
“……!”
In the heavy rain, Qi Qiuxue saw clearly the gun in her hand. It was Wu Shanyue's weapon!
"How did you get it?!" Qi Qiuxue's voice was filled with unconcealable anger, "How did you get Shan Yue's gun?!"
"Surprised?" Purcell raised his lips, as if he enjoyed seeing her furious reaction. While dodging Qi Qiuxue's rapid attack on her, he reached his other hand into the void again.
This time, she pulled out a crossbow.
When seeing the familiar weapon, Qi Qiuxue's eyes became even colder.
"How does it feel to be attacked by the weapons of your friends and loved ones?" Purcell said calmly, but her whisper was like a demon. She did not directly answer Qi Qiuxue's question, but said, "I can conjure up many weapons, and I can quickly master them and maximize their effectiveness."
"But I think that in this game I only need to use these five."
——"Crossbows, chain blades, guns, swords and poker."
"Would it be more painful to be killed by the weapons of your loved ones and friends?" The attacks came like a tide, without stopping for a moment. Purcell kept his sights on Qi Qiuxue and said, "Let's wait and see."
"Dang!" The bone knife and the gun collided with each other, making a harsh metallic sound. Purcell raised his hand and threw Qi Qiuxue far away, but in the next second, this stubborn human rushed up again in an instant.
The two fought non-stop in the rain, blood splattered everywhere. With the addition of the triple god-level props, Qi Qiuxue seemed to have almost god-like abilities. She was extremely fast, had superb reaction speed, and extremely high attack power. Her body was pierced, torn, healed, and regenerated again and again... Some of these scars were left by Bercel, and some were caused by her own hand using a bone knife to divert the damage.
As a god, Percell's health bar was terrifyingly thick. She wasn't afraid of the bullets she fired, the sword she swung at her prey, or the repeated attacks and injuries that would eventually fall upon her. As long as she had fun, as long as she could torture the humans in front of her and destroy her mind.
But Qi Qiuxue was like a monster that would never admit defeat, a killing machine that would never stop once it started. She felt no pain, never feared, and was entangled with Purcell tightly.
When the chain attacked again, Qi Qiuxue jumped back hard to avoid its attack, so Purcell took out the playing cards, and one after another, cards as sharp as blades fell from the sky, with a strange and cruel beauty, like a bone-eroding baptism.
Qi Qiuxue dodged quickly, and when all the cards disappeared, she was faced with a new round of attacks from Purcell.
In the chaos, Qi Qiuxue noticed the way she held the cards and her movements when attacking. These few brief and tiny points were highly consistent with someone in her memory.
“…”
Qi Qiuxue turned around and kicked the cards in her hand away, and quickly distanced herself from Purcell in front of her. Then, in the next second, Purcell raised his gun again.
"Bai Shien."
Qi Qiuxue read out the name in a deep voice.
"Bang!" The bullet shot out from the muzzle, but did not hit Qi Qiuxue, but deviated.
This was the first time Purcell made an offensive mistake.
"You found out, Axue." After a brief silence, she suddenly smiled and the way she addressed her was no longer as distant as before, but with a hint of intimacy.
"It's been a pleasure spending time with you." She looked directly into Qi Qiuxue's eyes and spoke slowly, "Through long periods of observation and fighting, I've completely mastered how you all use your weapons, your strengths and weaknesses, the tactics you employ when faced with danger, and your combat habits."
"Especially you," she said. "I've known for a while that this moment would come, that you and I would meet on the field, that we would clash, that we would fight it out, that we would fight to the death."
"Perhaps you think my ability is to copy or learn? No, actually, it's neither of those. My ability is disguise. Even Li Yiqing, who is also a god, doesn't know this. I have always hidden it well in front of her, starting from when her memory was taken away and the world line was restarted once again."
"Axue, do you want me to demonstrate this for you?" she asked generously. "I think you'd like to see your teammates again, even if I have to disguise their faces and their cores are no longer theirs."
"for example--"
"I'm fine, Axue, I'm fine." She changed into Wu Shanyue's face.
"Don't worry, I will definitely avenge them!" Su Wen was the next to speak.
Willow Song——
"Yes, I will survive."
Li Yiqing——
"Axue, we will be together forever."
“…”
She pretended to be everyone, stimulating Qi Qiuxue over and over again, and finally stopped at Bai Shien's face.
That was the mask she had carefully put on from the beginning. She used this appearance to gain everyone's trust and deceive everyone: "If something really happens to me, please help me take good care of my sister. Please."
"Can we really still go to the sea together?"
"Axue, can we really still go together?"
The heavy rain stopped at some point. Purcell looked up at Qi Qiuxue and noticed the tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.
"Impossible." She heard Qi Qiuxue say softly, "Never."
"Yeah, that's impossible." Purcell paused after hearing this, as if he was thinking about something, or as if he couldn't help but fall into memories, suddenly remembering the dangers and laughter along the way.
But soon, she raised the gun in her hand and pointed it at Qi Qiuxue in front of her.
Cruelly said: "Because you will lose."
"Because I know everything about you, yet I am stronger and more capable than you."
"Because I am a god, humans can never defeat gods."
"Because... you will die here."
