Chapter 682: No One Gives a Straight Order; Judgment Reappears!
Staring at the person before her in a deep sleep, Feng Wang slowly placed her hand on the edge of his mask.
By her judgment, if she made that move herself, it was very likely she would actually wake him.
After a moment’s thought, she still didn’t do it.
Her mind replayed how the man had mentioned that theory about “teammates” more than once, so she reluctantly withdrew her hand.
“Why does it feel like this guy’s been brainwashing me the whole time...”
“What a naive fool, to simply choose to believe such a fatal weakness.”
...
In another place, in Xie Antong’s room, Xue Zou was speaking with her.
“No time to waste, night time is limited, I’ll go over now.”
“Wait!” Xie Antong suddenly called out, “Xue Zou, why are you in such a hurry?”Xue Zou: ?
Xue Zou’s figure appeared beside her, looking baffled.
“What do you mean by that?”
“You clearly said it yourself just now. That teammate named Sun can move freely, so he must be the Troublemaker.”
Xue Zou now wore an exhausted expression. Facing the woman before her, she was slowly finding it hard to communicate.
She had noticed that this overly mystical woman always contradicted herself.
After seeing Player Sin, Sun, and Perfect Life, Xue Zou had developed a certain immunity to these worlds’ eccentric players.
“But I also said that the one called Sin has a very high priority. The two of them could both be Troublemakers.”
“And that Sin’s marked time is only left for tonight, while Sun still has one more night.”
Xue Zou said, a little puzzled:
“But the thing about Sun being the Troublemaker is almost proven, while Sin is still just a guess, right?”
She then shrugged as if giving up.
“Fine, I’ll be honest. I can’t beat that Sin, he’s a bit too strong. I feel most will choose to go after Sun this time.”
After all, they had all witnessed Sun’s previous angry assault.
Very powerful, but not unbeatable.
If many people surrounded him, there was still a direct chance to kill him.
“Wait, I haven’t given the order yet.” Xie Antong stopped her again.
“Xue Zou, tonight don’t leave, stay by my side.”
With Xue Zou looking perplexed, Xie Antong continued on her own:
“Among us, you only know Sin is hard to deal with, but do you know who among us is the weakest?”
“It’s me...”
“You eight might need to surround Sun to take him down, but to kill me, one random person could probably do it.”
Xue Zou was stunned; she hadn’t expected the woman in front of her to expose such a weakness so plainly.
She quickly replied:
“But nobody is going to come after you! You...”
“How do you know?” Xie Antong smiled at her, “Xue Zou, stay. I need you.”
...
In another room, Chiyo Eine was having a similar conversation with her teammate.
From the start of the Game, Xie Antong had been sending all kinds of signals to her.
“Xu Sheng, come out. Stay by my side, guard me tonight.”
Her teammate’s name was Xu Sheng. Hearing that was not surprising; a voice echoed in the empty space.
“I’ve integrated with the energy of this space. In this state, whoever attacks you, I can react instantly.”
“No!” Chiyo Eine shook her head stiffly.
“Come out. Only with you by my side can I feel at ease.”
“I don’t need you to block anything for me. I’m actually hoping someone will attack me.”
Xu Sheng: ...
After a long moment, a figure shrouded in black shadow slowly appeared.
...
In Perfect Life’s room.
Perfect Life called to his partner and said:
“Don’t go. That person’s strength is limited. There’s no need to have an extra person to fight him.”
“Come, let’s get to know each other, our approximate abilities.”
The teammates felt Perfect Life was being picky, and said awkwardly:
“Haven’t we already learned each other’s abilities?”
“You can’t put it like that.” Perfect Life pressed both hands to the floor.
“My ability encompasses everything, shifting endlessly, very complex, hard to explain in a moment.”
The black-and-white yin-yang fish swam frantically, crawling across the entire space.
More than an energy display, it was a blockade!
...
Dark Clown: “You see for yourself. That one called Sun, and the one called Sin, go to whichever you want.”
...
Jiang Yuan: “If you go to Sin, that’s the masked guy. Can’t beat him? No no, I’m not telling you to fight him, go protect him.”
Teammates: ...
In different rooms, this group of supposedly world-top players—none of whom behaved like a sensible person—issued a bunch of unreliable orders.
It seemed they had an unspoken consensus not to let too many people gang up on Sun.
These strongest survivors trapped in fallen worlds, the so-called Hero teammates, could roughly be compared to Jiang Yuan in terms of base strength.
One Jiang Yuan could suppress Sun, but that wasn’t an absolute advantage. A group of Jiang Yuans would truly make tonight a life-or-death night for Sun.
At least until now, Perfect Life had thought so when he asked everyone to vote for him.
However, in Sun’s room at this moment...
One after another, figures cloaked in black mist slowly materialized before him, accompanied by the sound of bodies hitting the ground.
1, 2, 3...
Six in total!
There were six Heroes standing before Sun!
Counting Sun’s own teammate beside him, there were seven Heroes in this room! Exactly the same as the situation around Lu Ce last night.
Given that Xie Antong and the others had all been convincing people to stay, this was impossible.
But Sun didn’t know about the other rooms. Seeing so many people and the overpowering aura filling the air, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud:
“Hahahahaha! These people sure know how to show respect!”
“All here? Complete? Are we missing one?”
He rose from his chair, his tall frame straightening as he cracked the knuckles of his right hand with his left, making creaking snaps.
“Let’s start when we’re ready. I’ve been waiting a long time!”
Flame armor immediately enveloped him, but this time it differed from the battle style he used earlier outside.
Around the outer layer of the flame armor, blue-violet arcs of electricity danced. With his aura fully unleashed, divine might shrouded the entire place!
If Lu Ce were here, he would certainly feel what that familiar divine might was.
—Judgment!
