The sll of blood was pungent.
Even before Caesar could react, Wei Shi’s pupils had already contracted abruptly.
Wu Jin had disappeared.
More than one person had been eliminated in the past two hours, and the order of elimination couldn’t be determined. At this ti, only the youth’s life-saving capsule had been left behind in the dormitory room.
Wei Shi narrowed his eyes and glanced over the blood that hadn’t yet dried up. The light in his pupils that made them look the sa as ordinary human beings suddenly went out. His fist clenched with huge force, and his eyes were dark and frightening when the cara swept by.
Like a ferocious beast who’d been caught off guard by a set of broken reins.
Two caras flew by. The remote caran behind the cara suddenly felt a chill go down their backs!
Wait a minute, this was just a normal ga...
The next mont.
The man kicked aside the half-open door with one foot. His body was like a sharp, fierce blade as he pushed into the ssy bedroom. The shoulder and arm muscles exposed outside the training clothing were tense and tight, like a high-risk murder weapon that might break out at any ti–-
However, his next actions were very careful as he made sure that the life-saving capsule had been properly sealed.
At the entrance, Caesar’s mouth dropped open, and then he grew furious, “Where’s Little Witch! Where’s my Little Witch!”
Wei Shi turned back abruptly. His body was like an unbreakable wall erected in front of the life-saving capsule, and his gaze was cold and chilling. He refused to let Caesar pass.
With Wei Shi there, Caesar couldn’t even get close to the life-saving capsule.
“He’s lost too much blood. Call the program group.”
Wei Shi squeezed these words out from between gritted teeth.
Caesar reacted imdiately.
The blood on the ground hadn’t yet solidified, and the life-saving capsule could only force a player into unconsciousness. Without a tily blood transfusion, there might be short-term harm to the player inside the life-saving capsule––
Caesar opened up his wrist watch lightning-quick and called the program group over to take away the life-saving capsule.
From behind him, Wei Shi was still silent, guarding the only life-saving capsule in the dormitory room. It wasn’t just Caesar; even the caras couldn’t get close.
The Crosson Show’s live stream room.
The audience in the scrolling comnts looked on breathlessly at this changing situation in the student dormitories. There was a sudden burst of infinite enthusiasm!
Comntator and instructor Blood Pigeon was criticizing Contestant Wei Shi’s performance for once, “We all know that September and Yu Mo are still running around in the building. Turning around to chase down the King of Hearts is what Contestant Wei Shi should choose to do instead...”
In the center of the screen, the Crosson Show search and rescue AI who’d received the ergency rescue notification arrived at the scene and began their act.
They continued to ‘act’ as they used a dium-size drone to lift the life-saving capsule from the bedroom.
They finished off the act by flying away from the field––
Wei Shi finally withdrew his gaze. The man straightened his back and bent over on one knee.
Comntator Ying Xiangxiang’s eyes opened wide.
Then, Wei Shi picked up the sharp knife that belonged to Wu Jin, lifting it out from the pool of blood. The rough fingers with the gun calluses clenched the knife tight, two fingers moving fast as lightning as he hooked this ‘relic’ at his waist.
On the other side, Caesar had already raised up a huge machete and was a perfect representation of a furious elder brother who planned to take revenge for Wu Jin, “These two [beep––] dared to attack Little Witch, I’ll [beep––]”
Wei Shi made a sound of acknowledgent, his aura terrible and bloody. When he raised his eyelids, it made people unable to keep themselves from shuddering in fear.
He spoke slowly, “Go find K.”
In the Crosson Show live broadcast room, the scrolling comnts were suddenly full of excitent.
“Aaahh, this is my favorite fake death scenario! God Wei’s eyes just now looked like he would guard the life-saving capsule until the end of ti. Wake up, God Wei, this isn’t your most beloved Little Witch! Don’t bla yourself because of the life-saving capsule, your Little Witch is crawling around in the ceiling right now––”
“How touching. I will take your weapons and continue your will, avenging you with your blade.”
“Scarf is already like this. Damn it, you’re still telling they’re not for real?!”
Thousands of stars away, in Azure Cosmos’s Floating City.
Arjun looked dazedly at the virtual projection for a long ti, then finally couldn’t help asking, “That shouldn’t be... doesn’t Brother Wei know the rules for this round?”
Researcher Song leisurely grood the guinea pig’s fur, “Brother Wei doesn’t know.”
“!!” Arjun: “Holy shit, isn’t Brother Wei a sponsor? You guys didn’t take it easy on Brother Wei?? Say, what are you guys trying to do? When the sponsor daddy plays a ga, the rules should be made clear in advance, so their line-up is guaranteed to win. Let tell you, you guys are going to be out of a job!”
Researcher Song refuted this imdiately. Brother Wei had a sharp sense of integrity. Did he seem like the type who would use his power to help himself before the competition?
Arjun: “He really didn’t abuse his power?”
Researcher Song thought about it, “Not completely. Didn’t they make it so that Brother Wei doesn’t have to sing and dance?”
Crosson Show seventh elimination match arena.
trainee building, ceiling partition.
Wu Jin hissed as he wrapped a bandage over his arm.
The empty compartnt above the ceiling was narrower than he’d expected. The dust was heavy and cloying, and the ceiling lamp was dim, barely shedding any light. The area was filled with a ss of cables and ropes.
Wu Jin pursed his lips and walked through the partition quietly. There were countless pulleys and tracks overhead, and the ropes that helped Karen ascend and descend were tied to the moving tracks.
This was Karen’s secret world.
The situation from over 10 minutes ago was once again sorted out in his mind.
The NPC was the first owner of the ‘Karen’ identity, and he was now the second owner.
The female lead that was bound with a curse from the red dancing shoes floated above the players’ heads with pulleys, ropes, and the partitions. The ceiling beneath his feet would split apart at any ti under Karen’s control. The female ghost would use the ropes to jump down, killing the players and sucking away their ‘flesh and blood’ before using the ropes to rise up again.
All for a complete ‘hunt’.
At this ti, he’d already used up the basic bandages, but the injury on his right arm was still very serious.
Wu Jin grimaced and sucked in another breath of cold air.
His vision was a little blurred due to blood loss, but he soon found his focus once again. He needed to get more supplies. Not just bandages and dicines––he needed weapons. He’d lost his knife, and now he needed a weapon that Karen could use.
Wu Jin frowned slightly.
He wasn’t in good shape at the mont, and he needed to get in touch with his allies.
The youth opened up the forum on his watch and typed carefully in the dim light. After pressing the ‘send’ button, he stilled abruptly.
“Insufficient permission.”
It wasn’t only the forum; the original story lines and player scripts belonging to Wang Ping and Leica couldn’t be opened either. Wu Jin stared, his eyes wide with astonishnt, and then his hands moved as fast as lightning to verify his conjecture. After taking over the identity of the female ghost Karen, all contact with ordinary trainees had been cut off. ‘Yin and yang were separated’.
“......” Wu Jin finally ca to the realization that he was the only one who could save himself.
He’d already gone through the entirety of the dark compartnt. The supplies were extrely limited.
In that case, he only had one source for supplies. It was just like the first Karen who’d gone from withered skin to plump flesh by sucking up ‘sacrifices’.
Wu Jin stared at the ceiling beneath his feet for a long ti.
Then, he took a long breath and cleaned up his wound one last ti. It was likely that he would have to get rid of other trainees in order to trade for Karen’s ‘upgrade materials’.
There were sounds of walking and talking beneath his feet. Wu Jin felt his way around the partition for a long ti, finally locking in on a position. According to the map in his mories, it should be the dorm room for a C-level trainee from the Stardust Cup.
Wu Jin prepared for an explosive, quick fight once again.
Then, he exhaled, planning to drop down from the ceiling.
His wrist watch beeped twice.
The ceiling didn’t move.
Inside the narrow compartnt, there were countless gaps between the pulley tracks. A chanical arm drifted out from nowhere, handing Karen’s robes to Wu Jin.
A long, red dress.
Red high-heeled shoes.
A silky, heat resistant wig with long, straight black hair.
Wu Jin: “......”
Juurensha: It was inevitable Little Witch, accept your fate.
