Chapter 438: Transcendent, Soaring Spiritual Bewilderment—Killing Intent Nullified!
The merry-go-round began to rotate, swaying up and down as it moved forward, with melodious music playing simultaneously.
The tune was soothing, almost like a requiem, bringing peace and tranquility to people's hearts, as if lulling them to sleep.
Each horse had different saddles, soft and lightweight, making the entire merry-go-round appear completely harmless, seemingly offering a purely spiritual enjoyment.
However, both Qingshuang and the black man remained highly vigilant, showing no signs of relaxation.
Both of them gripped the vertical poles in front of them tightly, their knuckles white, faces tense, waiting for the impending crisis.
No one believed this attraction was genuinely meant for fun—hidden beneath this game must be deeper, concealed killing intent.
This gave them even more psychological pressure than the previous roller coaster, keeping them constantly on edge.
Qingshuang's eyes remained locked on the two figures ahead, focusing on Blank and Miss Yu, though primarily watching Miss Yu.
"Hey, miss." The black man beside her couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up.
"Why do you seem so determined to protect that woman called Miss Yu? Do you know each other?"Qingshuang gripped the horizontal bar with one hand while steadying herself on the horse beneath her with the other, as if ready to spring into action at any moment.
"No, we don't."
"Then what are you doing? Just helping another woman out of solidarity?" The black man instantly looked puzzled.
"No, you wouldn't understand." Qingshuang continued speaking without even turning her head.
Black man: ......
He was starting to feel exasperated. Seeing no other option, he quickly continued trying to persuade her:
"Look, I'm saying—can't you be more clear-headed? There are no ordinary people in this game. Don't you think this woman is suspicious?"
"Especially during the roller coaster earlier—she was completely fine. Did you even see how she got through it?"
"That's because I protected her." Qingshuang said calmly.
Black man: Seriously, sis?!
"Can you just say what you mean directly?!" Qingshuang frowned slightly as she spoke.
By now, the merry-go-round had completed its second rotation. The soothing music continued, the rotation remained steady, and that sense of peace and tranquility made people unconsciously lower their guard.
"What I'm trying to say is, this game is so sinister, with life-threatening danger at any moment—why waste time on some strange woman?"
"I think we should work together and find a way to clear this game."
"Who knows if that Miss Yu is just pretending to be weak to catch us off guard? Why are you so focused on her?"
Qingshuang: ......
Qingshuang remained silent for a long moment before finally speaking:
"You don't understand. This is part of my ability."
"I can see a person's 'true nature,' their deepest inner self."
"Miss Yu is a very pure person. She truly seems untouched by this world's corruption, which proves she's not some schemer hiding ulterior motives."
Hearing this, the black man immediately made an exaggerated expression.
"What? You're saying she's genuinely just this weak?!"
"That's not the point." Qingshuang frowned. "The point is, she's too close to that Blank right now! It's too dangerous!"
"And that Blank—the feeling she gives me is too heavy. Her true nature is completely dark and chaotic, utterly impossible to see through!"
The black man shuddered violently, almost falling off his horse.
"You're saying... the one we're following might be fake? She's that 'Sin'?!"
Wouldn't that be disastrous?!
"No." Qingshuang shook her head. "Both of these Blanks are equally profound! Even the real Blank is just as dark and chaotic—there's no difference!"
Black man: ......
Their conversation grew increasingly deep, even revealing details about their respective abilities to each other.
Without even realizing it, as the merry-go-round continued turning round after round, their wariness gradually faded, and they even loosened their grip on the poles.
Ahead, Miss Yu blinked her eyes while looking at the girl beside her and said:
"They seem to be discussing you back there."
"Whatever."
"Should we talk about something too?"
"Up to you."
Blank appeared quite indifferent at this moment, but Miss Yu didn't care at all and continued speaking on her own:
"Do you know why amusement parks have merry-go-rounds?"
"Because the gentle rotation and repetitive motion provide a sense of security, making people want to open their hearts."
"Does he know you well? Why can he imitate you so perfectly? And do you know him?"
Blank remained silent as the merry-go-round kept spinning, as if carrying people's thoughts along to transcend and soar.
She turned her head to look at Miss Yu before her and spoke:
"I know that perhaps he understands me very well."
"Maybe if he wants to, he can understand anyone in this world. As for whether I understand him... I don't know, and I don't care."
Quite unexpectedly, Blank actually took the initiative to answer this question, genuinely starting to chat with Miss Yu, her eyes showing a hint of confusion.
"Oh?" Miss Yu's eyes instantly lit up like a college girl hearing gossip, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Sounds like there's a story there!"
As she spoke, she even reached out to pat Blank's shoulder.
This "dangerous" action made Qingshuang, sitting behind them, frown deeply.
......
In the central control room, a pair of eyes slowly opened.
He had merged completely with the central cylinder of the merry-go-round, coldly watching the four people before him as if staring at his prey.
Seeing all four had completely let down their guard, the corners of his mouth began to curl upward slightly, as if admiring his captured prey.
"The mental confusion is about sufficient."
"It's time for you all to show your killing intent."
He seemed like a master strategist, assigning tasks for the final net-closing.
Qingshuang and the others' initial judgment hadn't been wrong—how could this game possibly be just for fun?!
However, this [Paradise] player at the central position received no response whatsoever. Those hidden teammates seemed to have no intention of moving at all!
Everyone was using [Paradise] privileges to merge with various facilities, ready to strike at any moment, so why was there no movement now?
"Can you hear me? This is Merry-Go-Round Number One! It's time to act!"
Merry-Go-Round Number One transmitted the message through his method. From his perspective, he could even see that the horse the black man was riding had been transformed from another player!
Number One: ?
What's going on?!
