The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

[Players, please choose the sacrifice among you. 】

Outside the window, the golden light was setting in the west. Several people who had scattered from one another gathered again in the restaurant, waiting for the system's timely reminder.

Wang and Zhao looked calm, but Yang Qing seemed quite nervous and glanced in the direction of Zhao Yiyao.

"I'm late, sorry."

Holding the scimitar, Qin Jue walked down the stairs in three or two steps.

The expressions of the people present were solemn, their eyes moving around with themselves as the center, and when they looked at other people, they quickly looked away.

No one knows what the other person is thinking.

"Where did you go?" They almost walked around the third floor of the castle, but did not see Qin Jue.

This guy must be hiding a secret.

Qiao Yi Zhong just felt that the other party must have discovered something important, but unfortunately, based on the current situation, there was a high probability that the other party would not say it out.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, then..." Zhao Yiyao glanced at Wang Longzhao beside him and reminded everyone to respond to the system's pop-up window as soon as possible.

In fact, they all had some answers in their hearts as to who should be the 'sacrificer'.

During the time they were apart, he and Wang Longzhao carefully considered the options of the other three.

Needless to say, Qin Jue knew that the other party obviously had a backup plan. In case the system was a fraud or Qin Jue was retaliating, they could not push Qin Jue out first.

As for Qiao Yi Zhong and Yang Qing, they formed a temporary alliance, and Yang Qing still trusted Qiao Yi Zhong very much.

In terms of the identities of both parties, if they choose Qiao, then no matter whether the other party puts forward him or Wang Longzhao, they may face the risk of two votes against three votes.

The best way is to convince Qiao Yi Zhong to abandon Yang Qing, the slow-witted hindrance, and use him to explore the way.

Another point is that, judging by the crimes they committed, Yang Qing is at most an accomplice. After serving a dozen years in prison, he may still be released.

The other party was also hesitant and still held on to the fantasy of getting out of the game.

How can this be possible? We can't leave any of the evildoers behind, right?

Zhao Yiyao pushed his lenses, his eyes met Qiao Yizhong's for a moment, and the private negotiations between the three of them flashed through his mind.

"Let's get started. We don't have much time left."

Wang Long took a deep puff of a cigarette he had found from somewhere, then he touched the armrest of the seat with his fingers that were yellowed by the smoke. He glanced at the person next to him, smiled stiffly, and urged him on.

[Finally, please choose the victim for tonight.]

In the last fifteen seconds of the countdown, the system reminds you again.

Qiao Yi Zhong looked around, his eyes passed over Yang Qing beside him, passed Zhao Yi Yao, and finally fell on Wang Longzhao.

The other person was smoking a cigarette and looking at me without any emotion.

Yang Qing, on the other hand, lowered his head with a complicated and nervous look, his palms clenched into fists under the table, his heart beating loudly.

Since they all spoke at the same time:

"The victim, Yang Qing."

After the undercurrent surged, at the moment when Zhao Yiyao confidently said Yang Qing's name, the other three gave completely different answers in unison: "The victim I choose is Zhao Yiyao!"

The panting sounds were particularly clear in the restaurant. After learning the exact result, Yang Qing breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he had made the right bet and did not fall into the trap.

But he knew that even if he escaped this time, there would be a next time.

When he suddenly heard his own name, Zhao Yiyao was stunned at first, and then his whole body shook and he fell backwards suddenly, putting some distance between himself and Wang Longzhao beside him.

The chair legs tore the carpet under their feet and fell backwards, causing Zhao Yiyao to fall heavily to the ground.

He heard his own questioning voice mixed with anger and trembling: "Wang... Brother Wang, why are you..."

He has known Wang Longzhao for more than ten years. Their relationship started as a partnership, but later evolved into brothers who had been through life and death together. The two of them made a fortune together, and his trust in Wang Longzhao has never diminished.

Even when he was arrested by the police, even when he was facing death, he never thought of betraying his brothers.

But, he was the one who was backstabbed.

"Xiao Zhao, I know we were caught. It's not your fault, but... this is a game. People can die. I don't want to die, and you are a burden."

Wang Longzhao crossed his legs, didn't look at Zhao Yiyao, smoked and exhaled habitually, and spoke without any emotion.

“…Just like that?”

He thought that he had provided the police with information about the other party's crimes that had not been uncovered in order to obtain a reduced sentence, and the other party discovered it, causing resentment. Or, perhaps, he was not careful in one of his actions, which led to the police's search, resulting in the two being arrested, causing the other party to bear resentment.

It turns out that it was just because I didn't want him to be alive.

"that is it."

The system didn't respond. After a strange silence, Zhao Yiyao got up from the ground and ran towards the door.

"…I don't want to die, I want to live, I want to live!"

The sudden flipping movement caused the other three people, who had been calm, to panic. Seeing that Zhao Yiyao, the victim, was about to escape, Qiao Yizhong suddenly shouted, "Stop him!"

The system did not give clear instructions, but they had already chosen the victim and it was too late to regret now.

It was even more impossible to watch the victim Zhao Yiyao run away.

If there is a deviation from the system's conditions, wouldn't they have wasted a life in vain?

Wang Longzhao reacted faster. He kicked off the chair, rushed over at an extremely fast speed and pinned Zhao Yiyao, who was trying to escape, to the ground.

Then, Qiao Yi Zhong and Yang Qing also stepped forward to suppress each other for their own lives.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

During the struggle, someone touched a table knife, and with the push of several pairs of hands, the blade accurately pierced Zhao Yiyao's heart.

The violent struggle gradually weakened. When several people suppressed it with force and realized with a gasp that their men's resistance was almost zero, they slowly woke up when they heard Yang Qing's trembling voice.

"Blood...blood is all over the floor. He...is dead..."

Unlike the others, although Yang Qing was greedy for money, he had never killed anyone with his own hands. At that moment, he looked at the sticky blood on his hands and collapsed to the ground.

[The sacrifice has appeared. The remaining players on the field are protected from the harm of the undead. ]

Qiao Yi Zhong looked at the blood soaked on the ground and listened to the mechanical broadcast, feeling it was extremely ironic.

While they were arguing, this thing called the system watched coldly, intensifying their conflict.

When they worked together to kill Zhao Yiyao because of those unknown threats, this thing appeared hypocritically and gave some symbolic gifts.

However, when he heard the system's reply, his first reaction was to feel relieved and at ease. He thought that Zhao Yiyao's life was well spent.

A bloody vine emerged from the crack in the wall, ignoring the three people slumped beside the corpse, and struggled to suck Zhao Yiyao's blood.

This scene was very strange; the growing vine seemed to have life.

At this moment, the three of them also understood what the system meant by danger. Listening to the sound of swallowing like drinking water, they watched calmly, and even felt lucky that they had reacted quickly and did not let Zhao Yiyao escape.

"It's really interesting. You see, just by giving them some random feedback, they feel that sacrificing a life is worth it."

Although, the dead one is not worth living.

You Mu's figure suddenly appeared on the seat beside him. Qin Jue, who was about to get up and leave, paused, sat back, and squeezed the other person's hand.

Qin Jue felt extremely uncomfortable watching this play. A normal person would feel physiologically nauseous when seeing these scenes of killing.

At first he thought these people would throw him out. After all, he was obviously different from the four and was not on the same front with them. He was ready to laugh at their expressions of shock at the fact that he was intact.

But in fact, these deep-minded people can do things far worse than expected.

"It's clear that from the beginning, I didn't pose any substantial threats or oppression to them. It was just some baseless speculations and some guidance from the system that were enough to make them kill each other."

"People always turn their delusions of persecution into reality because of suspicion."

Sitting at the dining table, You Mu snapped his fingers, and the Song siblings, dressed as servants, appeared in front of the three dazed people and reminded them.

"Guest, the guest room has been cleaned up, please follow us back to the room."

The two men held lanterns and led the way, bringing the three stiff-looking people back to the guest rooms.

In the restaurant, the blood vine, having eaten its fill, folded its branches and retracted in the direction it came from.

Zhao Yiyao's body was still lying on the ground.

You Mu stood up, walked to the side of the corpse and squatted down, moving his fingertips slightly to gather Zhao Yiyao's soul together.

Players who are pulled into the game are basically in soul state, but because they have to participate in the game, the system will give each player a layer of skin similar to the physical body.

Once this layer of skin is pierced, if there is no props to repair it, the damaged soul will become the nourishment of the system, or be processed into a low-level employee serving the system.

Probably, it has the same function as the tombstones under the sea of ​​flowers.

Zhao Yiyao's death was too pathetic, so You Mu decided to give him another chance.

"You died at the hands of your companions, a forced victim. You have a chance for revenge. Go ahead."

With a wave of his hand, he sent Zhao Yiyao's soul into the dreams of several people. You Mu stood up and clapped his hands, looking forward to their next situation.

"Do you want to go and see their dreams?"

Turning around, You Mu enthusiastically invited Qin Jue behind him.

"It's still possible?" The magical method, however, sounds interesting.

"Of course." Pulling Qin Jue up, You Mu led him and Zhao Yiyao's soul into the dream woven by the sea of ​​flowers for the three of them...
