Can the sadness that magic cannot take away be offset by love?

To this day, Iris Adela hates many people and wants to kill many people - but if she wants to rank the death dates of these people, there are many things to consider.

For example, between Olivia's family and Ernest, the former should be the first to die, because she needs Ernest to mobilize the power of the Ramirez family and other forces to fight against the Novero family. After that, Ernest will be the one who dies earlier than others, because she needs to eliminate the hidden dangers brought by Ernest before he turns around and attacks her.

And the one in front of Olivia...

Iris was silently calculating in her mind, and when she opened her eyelids, she happened to meet Ernest's gaze. She looked at him and smiled.

Ernest looked at her quietly and shook his head slowly.

Iris blinked and shook her head. She opened her lips to speak under his disapproving gaze, but at that moment, he interrupted her before she could finish her first word:

"jump over."

Everyone at the table looked at him, and someone at the next table muttered:

"So many props? Skipped again."

Miss Witch: "...I shouldn't have given you the opportunity to do so many tasks. If you help her skip it, her participation reward for this round will be deducted from your points."

【Digging lotus roots】

[Did he skip the permissions wholesale? ]

[These guys have so many secrets...]

[My curiosity was aroused, but he dismissed me by skipping two words! I am so angry]

Iris leaned back indifferently, picked up the yogurt and started drinking it. One round was over, but the tower had not fallen yet, so a new round had to start from the witch who was ranked first.

Iris looked at Olivia, who was concentrating on observing the block tower and the witch's movements of pulling the sticks. If nothing unexpected happened, Olivia would have to pull again. After all, as an NPC, the witch would not put the block tower——

"Wow."

Knock down.

Iris quietly watched the building block tower on the table topple over to one side immediately after the witch pulled out a wooden stick. Within three seconds, the wooden sticks were completely scattered and stopped in front of everyone in chaos.

Olivia: “Tsk.”

A group of people's eyes turned to Miss Witch, who stamped her feet impatiently:

"What are you looking at? I can't be eliminated! I'll just drink a bottle as punishment, okay?"

She waved her hand and a bottle of yogurt appeared in front of her. She inserted the straw with a serious face and bit one end of it with her teeth:

"Each of you will get 100 points as a reward. The one who skipped twice will lose 100 points. The next game can only begin after the other groups have finished. Go and have fun."

Olivia stood up, followed by Iris:

"Which group are you going to see?"

"If you tell me the answer to that question just now, I will tell you."

Iris snorted softly: "You wish."

She would stop in whichever group Olivia stopped in, and she would be told where she needed to be.

If she had to say who she wanted to kill first, it would of course be Gracia Ramirez, who had been trying to kill her. But she was afraid that as soon as she read out Gracia's name in front of everyone, the other party would immediately realize that he had been deceived, and then fly back from Lawrence Underground City to slap her and Ernest twice.

But Iris herself didn't have the skip privilege, and she didn't want to give up the final prize, so she had to compete with Ernest to see who was more anxious - if he didn't have extra skip privileges or the privileges couldn't be given to anyone other than him, she would still give her answer - otherwise why should she sacrifice her own interests for the overall situation? Now she was their only choice.

Besides, that possible loss is nothing compared to the final prize of one of the six rounds of exchange competition.

Although the prizes for this round have not yet been announced, based on past experience, each prize is a rare treasure that can leverage the resources of a faction.

The two of them left without hesitation. Ernest, who lost a privilege and had one hundred points deducted, said nothing but stared at Iris's back.

Olivia put her arm around her back and patted her shoulder:

"Why don't you say thank you to them? Look at this resentment, it's about to overflow."

After she finished speaking, she snorted and laughed. Iris turned her head to look at her with a complicated expression. Finally, she turned around and said casually as if she had compromised:

"Thanks."

Ernest uttered two words coldly:

"No, it's not necessary."

Iris turned back without even listening to him finish, and was obediently held by Olivia:

"I guess you're going to see Levin Auceptin, he also chose the truth or truth group."

She didn't say it, but it was well known that Leland Viglas chose the Great Adventure Group and was not worthy of being included in the fun.

[These three, oh no, four people, I really don’t understand]

[Can the competition committee please stop keeping us in suspense? When will the prizes for this round be released?]

[Anxious, anxious, and anxious again]

[Speaking as if you are not in a hurry]

The building block tower of Levin Auceptin's group is very durable. When Olivia and the others came over, he had already started to pull out his second wooden stick.

"Who do you want to apologize to the most..."

At this time, Olivia was standing behind him with Iris, and the other people in his group also saw it. Everyone just glanced at them and then looked away. Levin Auceptin's eyes on the wooden bar did not move at all, as if he was unaware of it.

After reading the question, Levin Auceptin paused for a moment and spoke softly:

"jump over."

He heard the witch's words just now, and the reward was only a hundred points.

[My bean scored three goals]

[I give up, why is it so difficult to eat a melon?]

[My grandmother, who is still on the verge of death in the intensive care unit, can at least extend her life for half a year after listening to this live broadcast]

[…I guess your grandma won’t let you go until you’re left with only one breath left [smile]]

Levin On the field was holding his chin with his hands folded, seemingly concentrating on watching the other team members draw the sticks, but in fact he began to tremble restlessly when Olivia stood against the wall and put one foot on the crossbar under his chair.

Iris saw it all and remembered it in her heart. She silently spit on the two of them, and then she heard Olivia whisper:

"This round of games is too easy. The difference in level from the final rounds of previous exchange matches is huge."

"The prize hasn't appeared yet, so I guess it hasn't officially started yet."

"That'll have to wait."

"Maybe it won't take that long."

"Oh?"

"Let's see how the second round of games goes. This round should be almost over."

Iris turned her head slightly and looked at the witch lady who was standing next to a group watching the excitement. She was staring at other people's wooden sticks with great concentration, and smiled slightly when she heard the answers. She remained quiet most of the time, not intervening or speaking, and only occasionally answered questions about the rules from people around her.

Olivia followed Iris's gaze and spoke after a while:

"This is a competition, everything is pre-programmed... Spaceballs won't show meaningless plots."

Iris finished the last bite of yogurt and casually placed the package on the nearest table:

"So what do you think the meaning of this episode is?"

The yogurt bottle happened to be placed next to a contestant. The contestant looked at the yogurt bottle, then looked at Iris and Olivia, but didn't say anything. He wanted to hear them continue discussing the settings.

In Iris's sight, Levin Auceptin, who had his back to them, reached out and took the yogurt bottle from his group member, crushed it into powder with the vines, and fed the remaining powder to the man-eating plant that suddenly grew from the vines, saying in a light tone:

"It doesn't make sense to take a small part of the plot out on its own."

The team members couldn't help but remind:

“You took my yogurt.”

He pushed the actually empty yogurt bottle next to him with his finger.

Levin Auceptin picked up the yogurt bottle that was pushed over and shook it gently. He paused for a moment, then threw it directly to the Piranha Plant.

The Piranha Plant, which didn't react at first, was hit in the face by the bottom of the bottle. It speechlessly and angrily opened its petals and swallowed the entire bottle.

Then, the black-haired young man, who for some reason lowered his head and stared at the table, pushed his yogurt to the team member:

"Mine, I haven't drunk it yet."

Team member: “…”

The man twitched his lips, picked up the yogurt and handed it to Olivia:

"For you."

Olivia crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows, then handed the yogurt to Iris:

"yours."

Iris: "..."

Iris: “Thank you.”

She then realized that Levin Auceptin was a nice guy. He not only helped her dispose of the garbage, but also distributed new yogurt, fearing that she didn't have enough.

Levin, Passerby, and Olivia: "You're welcome."

Olivia didn't stay here for too long. She took Iris to the next group.

Levin Auceptin silently looked at the backs of the two men, crushed the petals of the carnivorous plant with his fingers, and the carnivorous plant shrank its head in an instant, turned into wood element and slipped back into his body.

The team member suddenly said "Oh" and shook his head. When Levin turned around to look at him, he just smiled and said nothing.

Iris followed Olivia and listened to all the gossip. Olivia was able to quickly explain some of the things she didn't understand. When the last group finished the game, she was already satisfied.

"The first round of the game 'Accompany' has ended, and there are currently seventy-two people left," the witch said in an emotionless tone, "and the second round of the game 'Correction' is about to begin."

She snapped her fingers again, and the next second everyone appeared in an open-air venue. The sky above was covered with dark clouds, and the white marble tiles under their feet were engraved with complex patterns. A scorching breath rushed in their faces, wrapping people up in it. After a while, Iris began to sweat.

"…I really hate the heat."

Iris expressionlessly condensed a square block of ice with smooth edges and no distinct edges and held it in her arms.

Olivia found it interesting to watch her hugging ice cubes to cool down, and she even knew to blunt the edges to avoid hurting herself.

The witch walked in front to lead the way. Iris squeezed next to Olivia. She saw a corner of a golden card sticking out of her pocket out of the corner of her eye. Out of curiosity, she suddenly heard a loud "Oh shit" from the front. The next moment, everyone braked urgently because knives were coming down in front of them.

Shining blades poured down from the sky and cut into the ground at an extremely fast speed. If they fell on a person, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Iris looked up at the sky, which seemed to be falling knives. She was looking at it in wonder when she suddenly felt something hit her instep. She thought it was a knife, so she took a step back and felt like she stepped on someone's foot. She said "sorry" hastily, and when she lowered her head to see if she was injured, she found that what hit her foot was not a knife, but a glittering golden card.

She picked up the card and found it was a prop. The prompt box showed:

"A-level item: Skip Card. After using it, you can skip a round of the game hosted by Miss Witch. This item can be used by yourself or by someone else."

She slowly raised her head, glanced at Olivia's empty pockets, and then looked into the eyes of the silver-haired wizard:

"yours?"

Olivia nodded and held out her hand. Iris put the card back in her hand and said:

"Keep it safe and don't drop it on the ground casually."

[Ah, Olivia also has a skip card? Then why didn't she use it just now? ? ]

[Maybe this is the only one I have, so I plan to save it...right?]

Leland, who had seen everything, turned his head to look at Ernest and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Ernest, whose instep was still aching, said, "Not bad."

Iris heard their conversation and when she turned around, she found that Ernest had walked up to her and was staring at her and Olivia with his amber eyes that looked like inorganic gems.

Leland glanced at them again, a little puzzled: "Can we still stick together at this time? Players from other countries have deliberately dispersed."

As he spoke, he chose a direction a little further away from the others.

Olivia glanced sideways at Ernest, then took Iris's hand and quickened her pace.

Iris had a hard time holding the ice cube in one hand, so she had to melt it and muttered:

"It's always me..."

"What?" The sound of the knife was too loud for Olivia to hear clearly.

"Nothing," Iris observed ahead, "Let's see what Miss Witch is doing."

The witch lady held the wooden strips that they had just used to build the building block tower, and phantoms of broken pillars appeared in the air under the rain of knives, exactly the same as the pillar forest that Iris saw in the center of the garden.

The witch raised her hand, and the wooden strips flew towards the phantom, merging into the broken pillars, gradually completing the originally broken and dilapidated pillars.

The phantoms of these pillars stood up in complete form and floated in all directions. The next moment, endless "boom" sounds were heard, and marble pillars rose from the ground in several directions of the open-air venue and stretched upward. At their tops, a conical cover appeared out of thin air and fit tightly with the pillars.

In just the blink of an eye, this place that was plagued by a rain of knives now has pillars and a ceiling, which is truly cause for celebration.

The ceiling withstood the attack of the rain of knives. The witch turned around and said:

"These pillars can only hold out for an hour. If you can't reach the other side after an hour... you'll have to do whatever you want."

Miss Witch stepped aside to let them see the scene clearly:

Not far from the solid ground beneath their feet was boiling magma.

There is a suspension bridge above the lava leading directly to the other side, where there is a huge door, which should be the destination they are going to reach this round.

"By the way, the thing you want most is behind that door."

The prize that has been hidden for so long has finally been revealed.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes became hot, and the temperature in everyone's eyes was perhaps even higher than the magma beneath their feet.

"But this suspension bridge...is about to collapse."

Someone in the crowd said hesitantly.

After being baptized by the rain of knives, the deck of the suspension bridge was densely covered with blades. What was worse was that the cables on both sides were actually thick ropes, which had been cut into tatters at this time. It was unknown how many people they could still bear.
