Chapter 192 (2/2)

Santa wasn’t ashamed and just smiled proudly.

Tang Mo continued to say to Ning Zheng, “You chose me to fight on the duel stage because we are the only ones with 6 points.The woman’s strength might be clearly below yours but you don’t want to take any chances. She might have an unexpected prop that can beat you. It might be only a 1% chance but you still won’t let that happen. Thus, you chose me.”

Ning Zheng asked, “What do you want to say?”

Tang Mo pointed to the rear. “Why don’t you choose him?”

Bai Ruoyao pointed to himself. “Hehe, Tang Tang, are you talking about me? Yes Ning Ning, I also want to know why you didn’t choose me. We are good friends.”

Ning Zheng’s expression was ugly.

Tang Mo answered himself. “It is because you don’t trust him. He has 1 point and is likely to beat you. As long as he doesn’t admit defeat, you will lose your die and your game will also fail. You have to come back. You trust me more than you trust him, Ning Zheng. Previously, every game you wanted to consume my physical strength. Now you are serious. There isn’t enough time. You don’t want to die so you have to clear the game. This duel, you must win and also give the 6 points die.”

Ning Zheng said, “Tang Mo, I don’t…”

“Then I will fulfill your wish.”

Ning Zheng’s voice stopped and he stared at Tang Mo.

Tang Mo smiled and released his fingers, the die firmly falling into the Christmas sock. The moment the die fell in, Tang Mo declared, “I admit defeat.” Then he put his hand in the Christmas sock and took out his die.

Ning Zheng stared blankly as Tang Mo put the die in his pocket and headed to the starting point. He didn’t turn back but Tang Mo waved as if he knew Ning Zheng was watching.

Ning Zheng frowned. He turned to get his die and continued the game.

Soon, the second Merry Christmas song filled the space. Ning Zheng stood in front of Santa and glanced at Fu Wenduo with relief. He turned and looked behind him. It was unknown when but Bai Ruoyao was standing by Tang Mo’s side, saying something unknown. Tang Mo ignored him and pushed the young woman to the starting point. “You go.”

Bai Ruoyao’s smile stopped. “Tang Tang, are you going to have a once in a century fight with me?”

Tang Mo wondered, “A century?”

Bai Ruoyao replied, “Hehe, yes, just me and you. The game is very simple and almost everyone knows the right order. Still, knowing the order is one thing. Being able to clear it is another thing. Now you are the only person with a number 6 die left on the field. If the number becomes 1… Tang Tang, can you cope with the hell difficulty punishment?”

The implication was that he would surely take away Tang Mo’s die.

Tang Mo asked directly, “You want to fight with me?”

“You don’t want to?”

Tang Mo said, “Then I’ll be waiting for you in the sixth grid.”

Bai Ruoyao was about to say something when a trembling female voice was heard. “I…I pick him!”

Bai Ruoyao reflexively turned to look and saw the young woman pointing to Ning Zheng standing beside Santa Claus!

Bai Ruoyao was surprised. “Is this also possible?”

The young woman stuttered, “San… Santa Claus didn’t say that we can’t challenge players who already cleared the game. We are all god children who like Santa Claus. The game is entertaining and Santa Claus said the duel stage is a place for us to exchange feelings. Even if… even if they cleared the game, can’t they still play?”

Santa Claus touched his beard. “It is true that you can challenge players who have cleared the game. It is a hidden rule. Very few people will pay attention to this. You are a clever child.”

Bai Ruoyao smiled. “You are really clever. You know that if you have the number 1 die, you won’t be able to walk two squares without dying. Thus, you threw it directly into the sixth grid to try and change your die. Tang Tang, is this what you taught her?” He leaned towards Tang Mo and provoked him. “But Tang Tang, how can she beat Ning Zheng? She should’ve chosen you. Then you could’ve conceded and given her the die. Aren’t you partners who trust each other?”

Ning Zheng went to the sixth grid and took his die out of his pocket. The young woman headed towards him with trepidation. Ning Zheng looked down at the opponent and suddenly felt that he had been too cautious. How could a player like this have a hidden prop to defeat him?

He shouldn’t have chosen Tang Mo. He should’ve chosen this woman.

However, he chose Tang Mo and Tang Mo quietly said that sentence to him at the end.

Ning Zheng’s eyes were dark as he threw his die into the Christmas sock. The young woman took out her most powerful prop. As soon as Ning Zheng acted, she would avoid it while admitting defeat. Unexpectedly, Ning Zheng said lightly, “I concede defeat.”

The smile on Bai Ruoyao’s face suddenly froze.

Ning Zheng took the young woman’s number 1 die from the Christmas sock and walked back to the ninth grid.

Everything happened so quickly that the young woman stayed where she was, still stunned.

Bai Ruoyao’s fingers tightened and sly laughter emerged from gritted teeth. “This is why your deliberately provoked the relationship between Ning Zheng and I. it is to make him take the initiative to give up. Tang Tang, I didn’t know you were such a gentle person. Even if this woman has the number 6 die, with her strength, there is only a 10% chance of her clearing the game. What makes you think that both of you can clear the game? Besides, can she hold onto this die?”

Tang Mo wondered, “Why can’t she hold onto it?”

Bai Ruoyao replied, “Her round just finished. According to the rules, she can’t play again immediately. Only you and I can play the game. If I play, I will definitely throw the die into the sixth grid and choose her, taking back the number 6 die.”

Tang Mo’s eyes narrowed. “Both of us have the number 6 die. Why choose her instead of me?”

Bai Ruoyao laughed. “Tang Tang, do I look like a fool?

This was the second time Bai Ruoyao said this to Tang Mo.

Bai Ruoyao was afraid of death, afraid of dying.

In order to pass the game, he wouldn’t pick Tang Mo and would choose the path that was 100% guaranteed to save his life.

Tang Mo quietly looked at Bai Ruoyao. “I will let her smoothly pass the instance.”

Bai Ruoyao smiled. “Then you can try it.”

“I am different from you. The things I promise others will come true.” Tang Mo paused before asking, “Do you want to go first or should I?” He didn’t look very willing.

Bai Ruoyao wanted to roll the die first and directly grab the number 6 die from the young woman to hit Tang Mo’s face with it. He hadn’t yet opened his mouth when he changed his mind. He thought of a more interesting game. He deliberately said, “Ladies first.”

Tang Mo smiled. “You remind me of a black tower boss.”

“Who?”

“A person who like you, isn’t very likeable.”

Tang Mo wasn’t polite. He threw the die into the first grid, obviously intending to play seriously. The die fell into the grid and Tang Mo jumped in, slowly reaching towards the die. He bent down to pick it up but didn’t get up. He directly sat down.

Across the red light film, Tang Mo held the die and smiled at Bai Ruoyao.

The smile disappeared from Bai Ruoyao’s face as an unknown premonition filled his heart. He slowly opened his mouth, “Tang Tang, what are you doing? Do you want to sit down a chat with me? There are five minutes left. You still have time to clear the game. Even if you have time… does your female companion have time?”

Tang Mo sat cross-legged on the ground, occupying the grid and not moving. “Santa’s Hopscotch Game has a total of nine grids, of which the ninth grid is the end. Each grid is the same size as the room.In other words, it is a very large map. Every time, the player can only leave one footprint. Otherwise, it is a violation of the rules and they will be punished. However, the grid that the die is in is different. The player has to get the die back so Santa doesn’t specify how many steps can be taken. He also didn’t specify how long we can stay.”

Bai Ruoyao suddenly realized something and his eyes darkened. He spat out two words from gritted teeth. “Tang Mo!”

Tang Mo laughed. “Thus, you can’t control how long I stay in this grid.”

Bai Ruoyao laughed angrily. “Tang Tang, are you doing this so that I don’t pass the instance? Didn’t you say you will keep your promise? You promised this woman that you would let her clear the instance. This is how you are planning to do it?”

“Bai Ruoyao, are you afraid?”

Bai Ruoyao remained silent as he stared coldly at Tang Mo, revealing a killing intent.

Tang Mo smiled and said again, Bai Ruoyao, tell me, are you afraid now?”

“Tang Mo!”

The situation took a dramatic turn.

Tang Mo held his chin and smiled. “There are still four minutes left. With our strength, we can still make it in time. Tell me, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of not clearing the game and dying here? Do you want to beg me to continue playing and don’t pull you down with me?”

Bai Ruoyao’s nails were deeply embedded into the palms of his hands. After a second, he smiled. “Yes, I am afraid of death. I am particularly afraid of death. Tang Mo, continue your game. Is it worth it to let yourself die here for someone like me?”

Tang Mo stood up and Bai Ruoyao’s eyes brightened,

The next moment, Tang Mo just adjusted his posture and sat down again.

“It is worth it.”

Bai Ruoyao, “…”

“Tang Mo!!!!”
