CHAPTER 84 (1/2)

Open World 9

Three laps had been played in this round of the game. Everyone had spoke three times and the next person would be punished, regardless of what they said.

In order, Xie Xi was the first person and he should be the next one punished.

However, Peng Chi used the Exchange Card to change the position of Lan Lingling and Xie Xi…

Then the first person to open their mouths would be Lan Lingling and the person being punished changed to her.

Lan Lingling was shocked. “No… no… I don’t want to change…”

However, she wasn’t required to move at all. She had already changed seats with Xie Xi.

The zombie girl said, “The game will continue. If you speak irrelevant words then you will be punished.”

Lan Lingling’s face was grey as she stared at Peng Chi with unwilling eyes. “I didn’t mean to harm you. That Forbidden Card was originally a trap. Why are you…”

“You are saying the wrong thing.” The zombie girl interrupted. “You have two excellent men around you. Why do you want to look at other people? Love Love hates this type of non single-minded person the most!”

Lan Lingling knew she couldn’t escape the punishment and simply used this opportunity to question Peng Chi.

As soon as she opened her mouth, this round of the game ended and Peng Chi had a chance to speak. He sneered, “The Forbidden Card isn’t your fault but what about after that? You took advantage of my distraction to reverse the order and I lost a leg. You killed me!”

Lan Lingling cried out, “You are the one who didn’t react!”

Peng Chi wondered, “Why did you reverse it when no one else did?”

Lan Lingling gritted her teeth. “If I didn’t reverse it then you wouldn’t have let me go!” She had to act strong to eliminate the hidden dangers.

The zombie girl stated, “Be quiet, the two of you don’t fit.” She sounded like she was trying to persuade a bickering couple. “Don’t force yourself together if you don’t fit.”

Peng Chi and Lang Lingling’s expressions were extremely stiff but they didn’t dare refute the zombie girl.

The zombie girl floated behind Lan Lingling and said, “I don’t like eating women but the rules are the rules. They are set and I must abide by them.”

REPORT THIS AD

Lan Lingling screamed and her right arm was gone.

On her right was Jiang Xie and his left side was inevitably stained with blood. Fortunately, he was taller than the girl and blood didn’t splash on his face.

Jiang Xie had never been so thankful for his bad luck. Very good, at least the child wasn’t dirtied.

The zombie girl ate Lan Lingling’s arm and dismissed it. “Not good…”

Lang Lingling bit her lower lip.

The zombie girl grudgingly said, “Well, I will still stop the bleeding for you.” She murmured in an unhappy manner, “The dead can’t find love.”

She spoke in a very low voice but Xie Xi was close and could clearly hear it. His brain started moving…

The zombie girl exclaimed, “Okay, keep playing the game!”

There were six people present and two people were injured. Peng Chi lost one arm and one leg while Lan Lingling lost her right arm. Both of them were suffering tremendously and resented each other.

The situation was chaotic and if it continued like this, they would have only one dead end.

What to do? What should he do? Was this really a dead end? Did they have to keep playing like this until everyone died? Impossible!

Xie Xi carefully recalled all the details after entering the game.

The zombie girl said many things, especially during the trial when Jiang Xie was messing around. She said that she liked people who loved each other and started the game by mentioning they should find love.

Xie Xi clearly remembered what the zombie girl said when Peng Chi was first punished.

—If a person confessed four times and was rejected, he or she will be punished.

The confession being rejected four times would lead to punishment. This sounded like a casual statement. After all, the rules were set that they would be punished after speaking more than three times.

What if it wasn’t just a rule? What if this rule was built on a certain purpose?

When Xie Xi heard this, he couldn’t help thinking, ‘Would it be okay if the young woman replied I love you to Peng Chi?’

It was impossible because if she answered I love you on the fourth time, it was highly likely the zombie girl would say, “If you love him, why didn’t you accept it earlier? It isn’t good enough and accept the punishment.”

However, if she answered I love you in one of the earlier three attempts then the young woman would violate the rule that she could only say shameless and she would be the one punished.

There was no solution. Promising love on the fourth time would still lead to punishment and no one would dare say anything different during the first three times!

Then was the zombie girl really joking? Her goal was to eat people?

If the existence of a game was to let players die then the Central World was too cruel.

Xie Xi knew that in the eyes of the Central Government, the players were no different from thousands of worlds or even the zombie girl in front of them.

The Central Government didn’t favour players but it didn’t dislike them. Then… there must be a way to clear this game. How exactly could they clear it?

Xie Xi couldn’t help looking at Jiang Xie. Jiang Xie sensed his gaze and looked back. The two of them didn’t speak but Xie Xi was surprised to find that he understood what the other person meant.

—Calm down.

Xie Xi was stunned. Yes, if he wanted to clear this game, he couldn’t be confused by everything in front of him. The real clue would definitely be hidden inside the game and he had to be calm!

Don’t be distracted by the game, distracted by the zombie girl or distracted by hatred and fear.

A new round of the game began. The pointer stopped in front of the young woman. She paused and said to the man in the suit, “I love you.”

The suited man replied to the young woman before telling Xie Xi, “I love you.”

Xie Xi hadn’t noticed it before but he felt a strange familiarity now that he was close to the man in the suit. He replied, “Shameless.”

He turned his head and told Lan Lingling, “I love you.”

Lan Lingling whispered, “Shameless.”

She seemed to be in great pain. Her eyes were red, her body was shaking and she stared at Peng Chi with eyes full of resentment. Peng Chi was the same. He placed the cause of this disaster onto Lan Lingling.

In fact, they became like this because of the game. However, they couldn’t resist the zombie girl and became angry at each other. The zombie girl planted the seed of hatred in their hearts and they nourished it into towering trees.

The lap ended steadily. At the beginning of the second lap, the zombie girl suddenly said, “Oh, there is a reward. Pause to receive the prize.”

The young woman’s expression changed. The reward might be a turning point to avoid punishment but for others, it might be a disaster.

Everyone stared intently at the turntable. Lan Lingling bit her lip and prayed it wouldn’t point to Peng Chi. Meanwhile, Peng Chi didn’t care. Compared to death, he just wanted to vent his anger!

The turntable stopped and pointed at Jiang Xie. The zombie girl was happy. “Your voice is very good. Quickly read it and let everyone know what the card it.”

Jiang Xie took the card and his pupils shrank slightly when he saw the words on it. The corners of his mouth curved up in a smile as he read it. “The Opposite Card. After it is used, you can only say the opposite thing. It can be used randomly on one of the five other players or used on yourself. It can’t be discarded and will automatically take effect after this.”

An Opposite Card?

Xie Xi was startled, the suited man was thinking, the young woman was somewhat nervous while Peng Chi and Lan Lingling were flustered.

It would be fine for everyone if this card appeared in the early stages. They were all people with fast reactions and their brains worked quickly. It wouldn’t be a problem to say the opposite words.

Now it was different. For the injured Peng Chi and Lan Lingling, it was already hard work to answer normally. If the Opposite Card was applied to them, they might not be able to react in time!

The young woman was nervous because the effect of this card was too general and not as fatal as the previous cards. The person who used the Opposite Card wouldn’t necessarily make a mistake. If they didn’t make a mistake then she would be the one who was punished.

As for Xie Xi, he saw the key to clearing this game!

Jiang Xie declared, “I will use it on myself.”

The zombie girl told you, “You have to think clearly. If you accidentally say the wrong thing, you will be punished.”

Jiang Xie looked at her. “Randomly choosing is too bad. What should I do if I accidentally choose my sweetheart?”

The zombie girl spun around, as happy as a naive little girl. “Oh, you really like him. Did you really fall in love with him at first sight?”

Jiang Xie smiled.
