Chapter 446: House of Slaughter, Night of Terror
What?!
Looking at Lu Ce within her field of vision, watching the mouth movements on his pink mask, Xie Antong fell into complete confusion.
Just as she narrowed her eyes, wanting to carefully verify whether her lip-reading interpretation was correct, everything before her eyes had already turned pitch black.
Instantly, an overwhelming sense of absurdity enveloped her.
Even with the All-Seeing Eye that made it impossible for her to see wrong, she now began to doubt herself as well.
What did he mean by "our game has begun"?
Our game? What does that mean?
Her mind became chaotic, instantly flooded with countless frantic thoughts that made her thinking and consciousness less clear.
Didn't he take her form precisely to test what the gods or Divine Envoys in this game wanted through different gameplay approaches?
Through this method, he would identify what the corresponding Divine Envoy was, then find the path to final victory.But didn't that highly suspicious woman already say her name was Yu Huan?
Yu Huan, Joy...
Joy!
Wasn't this already an open reveal? This final game should be about how to lure out this Divine Envoy or whatever it is, then win by directly defeating it, right?
Just like the previous game.
Her overall judgment must be correct—she might not know the proper victory method for this game, but Lu Ce definitely intended to play it this way.
But... why was he looking at her?
"Our game has begun—was that... said to me?"
Xie Antong felt extremely uncertain.
Was she that crucial? When it really came time to confront beings at the "god" level, it didn't seem like her turn yet, right?
What did he mean? Did he need some assistance from her? She seemed to completely not understand!
No? What exactly is your plan?
If you need my participation this time... I didn't notice anything!
Are you about to fail spectacularly?
Before sinking into darkness, Xie Antong experienced the greatest passivity and confusion she had felt since entering the game.
However, what she couldn't see herself was:
She thought she was wearing a worried expression, but in reality, her face currently showed the most standard, Sin-mode ferocious grin.
"Our game has begun..."
......
After the gate collapsed, there was only pitch darkness.
In Qingshuang's memory, the previous moment she had been standing before that gate, watching something mountain-like crashing straight down toward her, filled with terror.
Facing the unknown again—the psychological torment along this journey still wasn't enough. This final haunted house absolutely couldn't be that simple.
She had even prepared herself to die in battle.
Just as she assumed a defensive stance, the entire gate had already covered her, transporting her into another space.
Everything before her eyes was pitch black, and complete dead silence filled her ears.
Darkness was humanity's most primal fear. When faced with impenetrable darkness, Qingshuang instantly raised her alertness to another level.
She drew a pair of twin blades and forcefully clashed them together before her!
Clang!
In the clear sound of metal collision, sparks flashed and hung suspended in the air, the bright sparks floating quietly in the darkness.
Giving her some illumination.
After seeing her surroundings, she couldn't help but take a step back, every hair on her body standing on end!
Opposite her stood another herself!
Her hands holding the twin blades trembled slightly, but she quickly calmed down, realizing she shouldn't scare herself.
—It was a mirror.
In the surrounding environment, there were many such mirrors, not arranged closely together but scattered quite disorderly.
In terms of size, these mirrors resembled stone pillars connecting heaven and earth, reaching toward skies of unknown height.
As for width, they were only about one person's width, appearing very slender overall.
Standing in such an environment, her peripheral vision kept catching glimpses of human figures—her own reflections.
On the other hand, aside from these things, the surrounding space was exceptionally empty, just pure darkness as if nothing existed.
Standing here felt like countless eyes were watching her from within the vast black emptiness.
You couldn't tell whether the gazes coming from those dark areas were your own reflections in the mirrors or something else entirely.
"Terror Haunted House..."
Qingshuang swallowed hard, gripping her twin blades, carefully testing her way forward as she advanced.
By the way, it's worth mentioning that all the players who had been beside her earlier were now nowhere to be seen.
In a completely unfamiliar place, pitch black, and completely isolated without support.
This scenario was truly quite terrifying.
Suddenly, from behind a mirror, faint rustling sounds emerged.
Qingshuang spun around sharply, watching that area warily, twin blades held tight as she slowly advanced.
Suddenly, a human figure dashed out from there.
"Ah! That scared me to death! What kind of haunted house is this? Not a single sound! Not fun at all."
"Sister Qingshuang, you're here! Where did everyone else go?"
—Yu Huan.
The careless girl who rushed out was none other than that Yu Huan who had been clamoring to play the game.
Seeing it was this person, Qingshuang instantly breathed a sigh of relief—finally meeting someone familiar.
She quickly stepped forward:
"Be careful, I feel something's not right here."
"How did you get here? Have you seen anyone else?"
"Nope." Yu Huan blinked innocently, appearing frightened as she rushed toward Qingshuang.
Suddenly, a cold glint reflected in Qingshuang's eyes, and excruciating pain instantly shot through her abdomen.
Looking down, she saw Yu Huan's hand tightly gripping a dagger that was buried deep in her stomach!
Qingshuang's eyes instantly erupted with savage killing intent, her twin blades sweeping horizontally toward Yu Huan's throat!
The Yu Huan before her quickly retreated, creating distance as she vanished into the shadows.
"Huff... Huff..."
Qingshuang supported herself with one hand on her blade, the other hand pressed against her bleeding abdomen, teeth clenched tight.
What just happened?
"Qingshuang?!"
Suddenly, another somewhat familiar voice came from behind her. Turning around, she discovered it was the black man.
In this pitch-black environment, being able to identify a black man was quite an achievement.
"Why are you here!"
the black man exclaimed in shock.
"Weren't we just meeting over there a moment ago?"
"This place is strange—I suspect the people we see might not be the real versions of each other!" Qingshuang said, enduring the pain.
