Chapter 491: The Curious Little Button, the One Who Jammed the Gears
Mortar and Pestle Hell.
When people are alive, if you waste food, ruin the five grains—for example, casually dumping leftover banquet food, or throwing away things you don't like after just two bites...
After death, you will be cast into the Mortar and Pestle Hell!
Pounded into fragments by the medicine pestle, blow after blow.
It also sounded like a very painful way to die, though she felt Lu Ce probably wouldn't care much about that.
However, if this really was the Mortar and Pestle Hell, judging by the previous game's sin judgment pattern...
Could it be that they keep throwing down some disgusting things, then say nothing, and after some time passes, you get judged as "wasting food"?
If that's the case, then encountering Gluttony... actually seemed quite fitting.
Thinking this, Xie Antong directly opened her live stream page and began searching through its contents.
She was looking among the massive audience to see if anyone could directly tell her about Lu Ce's room situation.—There weren't any.
The game's protection regarding these things was quite obvious—specific details from other players' rooms couldn't be posted by viewers.
But based on some fragmentary descriptions, Xie Antong could roughly deduce the structure of that room.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt her judgment was probably correct.
Looking at the seventeen red lights above, that glaring red brought ominous judgment.
She could sense that in this game, the last red light not lighting up on Lu Ce's side was definitely crucial.
If so, that bearded fellow over there should be quite anxious...
So now, having mostly deduced the basic game, what remained was figuring out how to break the situation.
Only one person could successfully atone for their sins...
She looked up and began focusing intently on the screen before her, watching that strong elder on it.
I hope you can provide a bit more information.
......
In the footage, Xu Long opened his eyes and looked around.
Watching the magma surrounding the small island begin to bubble, emitting heat.
And simultaneously, the magma's water level began rising rapidly, slowly devouring the extremely narrow platform.
Soon, it was about to submerge Xu Long in the center.
Xu Long stood up. Even though he usually didn't like using his brain much, he could still tell that it was probably his turn now.
"Hmm, lucky—didn't make me wait too long."
Who knows what he was thinking, actually considering it lucky that his turn came so quickly.
Saying this, he took off his large black garment with gold patterns—his custom Dragon Group attire.
Revealing his bare upper body and lower body wearing only shorts.
Only after exposing his flesh could one see how domineering those muscles twisted together looked.
His entire body's muscles actually appeared somewhat lumpy; if seen in photos, people would probably say the photoshop skills were terrible.
His upper body was crisscrossed with scars—who knows what he'd been through—creating a stark contrast with his currently somewhat kindly face.
"Heh, this thing is supposedly quite expensive, better not burn it."
After taking off the Dragon Group clothes, he muttered to himself, then stored his garment away.
That stingy feeling also left the audience speechless.
But now, the magma had already spread upward, completely covering the ground of the isolated island beneath his feet, reaching his feet.
Watching that slowly flowing substance climb over his feet, Xu Long frowned.
"Seems a bit hotter."
His tone was flat, forming a sharp contrast with the previous player, making the difference in strength obvious.
Of course, there was also some difference in mental state.
"Where's the button? Hurry up."
As his voice fell, the magma continued rising, but as if responding to him, two illusory button images appeared before him.
[The red button on the left...]
The same introduction voice appeared again, but before the introduction finished, Xu Long before them had already acted!
One slap, directly hitting that... gray button!
"Haha! Let me see what this thing is first!"
Xie Antong: ?
Watching the screen, her mouth slightly agape, she was somewhat unable to hold back.
What? Why couldn't he just wait for the rules to be explained!
[Gray button triggered, special effect activated!]
As the game voice fell, Xu Long's room began shaking, then... the magma beneath his feet spread even faster!
The magma soon reached his shorts' legs, and upon contact, with a poof, ignited into flames.
The fire engulfed his lower body, his entire shorts beginning to burn.
[It seems you've made a foolish choice.]
Xu Long's expression unchanged, he instead laughed loudly:
"Haha! Foolish choice? What makes you say that?"
"You say I'm guilty, so doesn't this mean my atonement process is faster?"
"Why not consider my choice clever?"
[......]
[Please choose the red button or the wonderful button.]
Seeing the other not responding, Xu Long couldn't be bothered either, and once again slapped the gray button!
He didn't know exactly what was happening, but he had one principle.
That is—if the enemy mocks me, belittles me, then it means I'm doing the right thing!
[Gray button triggered, special effect activated!]
Another special sound, then the magma, which had been very viscous and flowing slowly, now boiled like crazy!
Violently bubbling with red bubbles that exploded on the magma's surface, shooting out fiery light.
The entire space's temperature also instantly rose rapidly!
It seemed like yet another negative effect!
Could it be that this gray button only had negative effects?
But at this moment, watching Xu Long's highly irrational actions, in an unnoticed corner, the Bearded Phantom's expression was very ugly.
Tch... continuing like this doesn't seem feasible.
Thinking this, he looked toward that calmest room, where "Sin" was located.
This guy actually got stuck here!
His entire game was a precise instrument, but this madman became the one jamming the gears!
"Not good... need to think of something."
