Chapter 362: Blackening; Joy
“We are already married.”
As the words fell, silence swept over everyone. The scene at that moment even felt a bit terrifying.
Everyone felt like a fishbone stuck in their throat, and the entire island became deathly quiet with no sound at all.
It was such a simple confession, yet coming from Sin, it seemed utterly absurd.
Chiyo Eine’s thumb and forefinger rubbed together vigorously below, her thoughts unknown.
Long Jiu and the others were slow to react, only realizing after a while that this must refer to the last game.
However, saying this now… it probably had nothing to do with the game anymore.
Shui Zhongmeng stood on Wu Changkong’s skateboard, his expression somewhat dazed. He had clearly seen everything last time.
“Looks like, in the last game, some people treated it just as a game, but others did not.”
Now he was especially clear why the cyclone above the other party’s head was much larger than those above himself and Sun’s.Apparently, someone had truly fallen in love.
The crowd remained silent, each face displaying complex emotions, but Xie Antong paid no attention. She focused on everyone’s reactions as she spoke.
—There was no reaction at all.
The other party’s huge figure kept his head bowed, his facial expression hidden, as if he was completely unable to hold on.
Moreover, even the instinctual trembling of his body gradually vanished. Whether it was an illusion or not, she felt like she could no longer sense his heartbeat.
After all, his chest was pressed tightly against her back...
On the Illuminati side, every face was unusually grim.
Had the relationship between these two really reached such a degree?
Damn! Who could have seen this coming!?
If they had known, they should have pushed the first plan from the start—the one that aimed to use the other party’s weakness to coerce and control the strongest player.
That was the real way to maximize benefits.
But they hadn’t dared to consider this benefit deeply; it seemed too difficult, and Sin gave off the impression that he did not really have feelings for Blank.
Wasn’t this just ruined?
Now, almost all their plans had completely failed, not a single one succeeded!
Now, it seemed like Sin was no longer viable, but that didn’t matter anymore!
Even if he truly died, their Illuminati faction had not played the expected role in all this.
Xie Antong’s confession, though an emotional outburst born from confusion, was the final blow shattering the Illuminati’s conspiracy.
Now, all of Sin’s actions had a reasonable explanation.
He had not been successfully shaped into an antagonist standing opposite humanity.
The Illuminati was no longer a human leader fighting traitors and demons among humanity; instead, it was purely an organization framing players over marriage and interests.
How had their grand idealistic scheme ended in such a ridiculous way—turning into a drama of a family head forcing marriage and the male lead snatching the bride?
Matthew’s face turned slightly purple with anger.
Long Jiu looked at Sin, who was already bleeding heavily, and felt somewhat alarmed. He suspected that the extreme power Sin displayed earlier might have caused these injuries.
Only Perfect Life, who had been silent all along, looked somewhat strange.
His black and white hands slid in the air repeatedly, as if sensing something.
Why did he feel… Sin’s condition wasn’t as bad as it appeared?
Was he… about to die?
But from the feeling, he seemed relatively healthy.
He lowered his head and looked at his own hands, doubting his own sanity.
Could it be that his Yin-Yang Hands were malfunctioning?
Long Jiu did not plan to confront the Illuminati for now; he didn’t even know how to do so. Instead, he said to Xie Antong:
“Miss, how about you let us take him first?”
“He looks like he’s not doing well, though I don’t really know what’s wrong...”
Let you take him? And you don’t know what’s wrong?
Before Xie Antong could answer, she suddenly felt a heavy weight on her shoulder, as if the other party pressed all their weight onto her.
Judging by this, it seemed like he was exhaling his last breath?
Xie Antong’s vision blurred, then the whites of her eyes gradually disappeared, turning black bit by bit!
That blackness was like smoke seeping from the depths of her soul!
Two clear tears slowly streamed down her face, but the corners of her mouth began to curl into a grateful smile.
The time for the medicine was over.
The time for emo had arrived; she no longer cared to judge.
The last time she emotionally broke down had been in Tokyo, with the person on her shoulder wearing an overloaded mask, planting a seed of resistance within her heart.
But now, that person seemed to be gone.
Multiple circumstances catalyzed together, and by coincidence, a voice long forgotten but once familiar appeared in her mind.
“Hehe... Ready? Come on~...”
“Come on, come on, come on!”
This time, Xie Antong responded inwardly to that voice.
“Good!”
The smile on her face gradually turned charming, even a bit seductive, just like the old… joy!
“Good, he’s either dead or has no heartbeat.”
“Are you coming to take him?”
Long Jiu: ...
Looking at her state, as if possessed, he felt a chill down his spine.
These two all seemed mentally unstable…
This girl looked like she was about to blacken.
Chiyo Eine’s eyes were full of pain. Standing there, she felt uneasy and restless.
Jiu Tian quickly stepped forward, his mood complex as he approached Sin.
Xie Antong suddenly turned back, looking toward the Illuminati and the Xie family as well as other clans.
“Alright, it seems I understand your plan now.”
“I was too naive before; in this world, power is so important.”
“If he dies, will you kill me too?” Xie Antong said with a smile, staring straight at Matthew.
Matthew: ...
Is this a joke?
If this woman really died, then the Illuminati’s failed birth operation would immediately turn them into a terrorist organization!
Looking at those seemingly frail eyes emitting black energy, he actually felt troubled and involuntarily looked toward the other Xie family members in the crowd.
“But then again, I don’t think so. If I die, you’ll lose everything for sure~”
“So, shall we go? Start a new chapter?”
“By the way, who was the groom at my engagement banquet? Why haven’t I seen him?”
