Chapter 52.3 (2/2)

Just then, the others who weren’t far off realized that they had come out and walked over to welcome them.

The geek quickly asked, “Why are there only the two of you? Where are the others?”

Xiao Tangqiu shook his head and said nothing.

But his expression made everything clear.

“Are they all dead?” The geek’s expression suddenly froze. He was obviously frightened by the extremely high mortality rate and his entire body was on the verge of collapse.

Moments later, he stepped aside and said nervously, “There’s still one last event… It won’t be my turn the next event, will it… Will I die… No… my luck has always been very good… It won’t be me… It won’t be me… It won’t be…”

Aside from the geek’s reaction, the others had deadpan expression after hearing the death of their companions. Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian looked at each other. Since they knew that these people should be the last group of players who died in this instance, they didn’t think that their behavior was abnormal anymore. Anyways, from the beginning, they didn’t regard these people as their companions.

Of course, Xiao Tangqiu didn’t intend to expose these people. Firstly, he didn’t want to expose what they already knew and arouse the vigilance of those people. Secondly, there was no need. Anyway, there was only the last event left.

There was still the last event left, and there were only seven players still alive.

Originally there were 14 people, but now only half were left.

Xiao Tangqiu knew that half of the seven people couldn’t be considered “alive.” He only knew that if the last group of players successfully killed anyone from their group of players and lived to the end, they could seize the identity of that person and return to the city of the abyss. But he didn’t know what would happen if these people failed in their mission. Would they stay here like that female player and wait for the next group of players to enter the instance, or would they be killed directly by the system?

Just as Xiao Tangqiu was thinking about this question, the clown appeared again.

This time the clown didn’t do anything else. He appeared in front of the crowd on a wheelbarrow.

“Did you have a good time? Welcome to the last event in this amusement park… Before announcing the event, first draw lots. Same rules!”

This seemed to be the first time that the clown didn’t announce the event after drawing lots, which made Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian uneasy. This implied that this event was unusual… But this was also to be expected. After all, this was the last event and naturally it would be different from the others.

Xiao Tangqiu tried his best to comfort himself – this was just a D-level instance and there should be no super crazy difficulty leading to a complete massacre… But thinking back to the female player in the escape chamber, he felt uncertain again.

Although he didn’t know who the girl was, what her name was, and how many instances she had gone through, he had the feeling that she was a very good player, at least much better than he and Tang Mianmian combined. But even such a person died in this D-level instance so all the more he couldn’t take this lightly!

Recalling the female player, he suddenly felt a dull ache in the place where the black bug bit his calf…

Could that black worm be poisonous?!

Xiao Tangqiu’s heart sank immediately, but he soon got over it. If he didn’t make it through this last event, sooner or later he would be dead. If he did make it through the last event, as long as he returned to the city of the abyss, then all his serious injuries and diseases could be cured. What was he afraid of?

Thinking up to here, he immediately calmed down and began to prepare for the draw.

At this last event, the geek who claimed to be the reincarnation of the invincible king of luck suddenly became timid and insisted that Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian go first. Naturally, Xiao Tangqiu didn’t mind. He shrugged and was the first to draw lots. Anyway, he had already prepared himself for the possibility of drawing a black ball in all four events.

He casually fished up a ball. Sure enough, it was black again.

Tang Mianmian said, “Oh dear!”

Xiao Tangqiu glared fiercely at Tang Mianmian and motioned with his eyes, “If you can do it then go ahead ah!”

Tang Mianmian rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward confidently. “This time I have to draw a red ball! I want to prove that I only have unlucky hands once in a while and that I’m not a jinx that the heavens have given up on!”

He reached out his hand and righteously fished out… another black ball.

Xiao Tangqiu, “…… Oh dear.”

Xiao Tangqiu mercilessly laughed at Tang Mianmian, but reacted in the next second.

What was he laughing for? Clearly, he, himself, was also an unlucky jinx.

They were both jinxes, why hurt each other?

Why should a jinx embarrass a fellow jinx ah!
