Playing the Foolish Beauty in a Deadly Game - Chapter 32
Especially among the few remaining players, the atmosphere was even more tense. They were uncertain and began to suspect whether this game scenario only allowed one player to survive. If so, what should they do? Fight each other to the death?
Having supported each other up to now, they really couldn’t bring themselves to harm their companions. Zhong Minglang, the bodyguard player, was the first to speak up: “This is a low-star scenario; it won’t have a situation where only one player survives. Otherwise, the game would give a hint.”
“I personally think Yan Ting is lying. He wants us to fight each other. Don’t forget that he himself admitted he didn’t want us to live.”
“I have reason to suspect that Yan Ting’s coma was planned. He wanted to use Lin Qiao to give us the card, which should be related to the final level of the game, that is, the research base.”
After obtaining clues from Lin Qiao, the female lover didn’t hide them. Everyone knew there were still challenges at the research institute, but they didn’t know what exactly. After Zhong Minglang shared his insights, he still didn’t relax. He wasn’t sure how much the other players would believe him.
Even if he was sincerely offering advice, he was afraid some players wouldn’t believe him. Here, Zhong Minglang was the only experienced player. If he said low-star scenarios didn’t have “only one survivor,” was that really the case?
What if Zhong Minglang wanted to monopolize the card and was lying on purpose?
In any case, Zhong Minglang could only say as much as he could. No matter the outcome, he would have a clear conscience.
In the suffocating silence, the female internet celebrity spoke up: “I trust Zhong Minglang, the bodyguard player, but I want to use the card to verify whether the landmark Yan Ting gave is correct.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll put the card back on the seat after I’m done.”
To prevent other NPCs from misunderstanding, the female internet celebrity explained her actions again before picking up the entry card. After the chip on the card was decrypted, it indeed analyzed the specific landmark, exactly the same as what Yan Ting had said. Everyone was saved!
As soon as the female internet celebrity put the card back on the seat, one of the brown-haired man’s former minions grabbed it. He looked around warily and said, “Then I’ll keep this card.”
The other NPC passengers naturally disagreed, causing a small conflict, fortunately without any deaths. Zhong Minglang stepped in to stop the infighting: “It’s better to spend time gathering more materials to make a bonfire. Letting only the cardholder enter is just Yan Ting’s guess.”
The NPC passengers thought about it and agreed. If only the cardholder was allowed into the shelter, why would Yan Ting give up the card? If it were them, they would definitely keep it hidden and not reveal a single detail.
Since there was a clear landmark, the next step was to land near the base. With the female internet celebrity’s hacking skills, a detailed map was retrieved.
The base was near the sea, with no suitable airport for landing. They had to choose a relatively stable passage. However, from the images, there were many obstacles on the ground, making it difficult to land.
In addition, they had to calculate the time of the sun rising and reaching the base accurately, with no room for error.
While everyone was busy, Lin Qiao cautiously looked around. The black graffiti that killed the man in the black suit in the toilet must have been hiding in his shadow, but Lin Qiao wasn’t sure where it was now.
He tentatively lay on the seat and touched his shadow. His fingertips sank into it, as if something was sucking, damp and sticky.
Suddenly, a huge force pulled Lin Qiao off the seat. Unprepared, Lin Qiao’s face hit the ground. He instinctively closed his eyes, but instead of pain, he felt a sensation of being submerged, as if water was filling his entire body.
Something slipped through the gaps in Lin Qiao’s clothes and pressed against his skin, cold and cool, from the calf to the inner thigh, soft belly to the back and shoulders.
Lin Qiao tried to get up, but the black graffiti had formed a palm behind his head and pushed down forcefully. So Lin Qiao fell back into the shadow, only to be released by the shadow after it had finished kneading him, allowing Lin Qiao to breathe.
Lin Qiao vengefully bit the part of the black graffiti that was close to his cheek, but it seemed to have found something fun and forced Lin Qiao to open his mouth.
“Ugh…” Lin Qiao couldn’t help but chew, but it had no taste. He didn’t want this thing to get inside him, not even in his throat.
So he desperately pushed it out with his tongue, only to be entangled and unable to cry for help.
Lin Qiao pitifully said, “System brother, save me. I suspect it has regained energy from eating people, and now it wants to eat me, waaah.”
The system’s voice seemed even colder and harder, but Lin Qiao could still detect its sarcasm: [Not only has it regained energy, but it has also regained its lower half.]
Lin Qiao meekly pleaded, “System brother, I just wanted to see if I could find a bodyguard, otherwise I would have been eaten already.”
Lin Qiao’s tears began to “plop plop” fall again, and the shadow couldn’t help but stiffen for a moment, retreating from Lin Qiao’s mouth to wipe away his tears.
Lin Qiao sulkily turned his head away, not struggling anymore, just softly sobbing, while internally complaining to the system.
“Since I’m an illegal immigrant, that means I’m not under the game’s control, and you’re not a player system.”
“Other players only enter the game when they’re on the brink of death, but I’m not.”
“I was kidnapped by a bad system, and the bad system is bullying me.”
“How can you still be called a system if you’re so bad? You might as well be called ‘master.’ What am I then? I’m the little slave of the system master, and you don’t even feed the little slave…”
System: […]
The system made a sound of electric current mixed with what seemed like an exasperated gasp. Its voice hardened, though still cold, but at least it wasn’t sarcastic anymore.
[Stop crying.]
[A non-ranked item has been detected. Do you wish to bind it?]
“Is it this black graffiti?”
[Yes.]
“Can you make this black graffiti never have a lower half and obey me like a little dog?”
[Don’t push your luck.]
“Alright, bind it.”
Soon, Lin Qiao’s mind displayed the usage permissions and attributes of the black graffiti.
[Item Name: Terrifying Black Shadow.]
[Item Level: ???]
[Item Description: Evolved from the monsters in the “Plane Escape” scenario, it is the most intuitive desire from someone’s heart.]
[Item Usage: No usage limit, no usage restrictions, but may not be very obedient. The rest is up to you to explore.]
[Item’s Inner Voice: Wants to kiss you.]
Lin Qiao directly retracted the item. Really, it was so strange.
Finally freed from the suffocating feeling of being submerged in water, Lin Qiao lay on the ground and took big breaths. The time had only been a few minutes, and no one had noticed anything unusual. By the time everyone realized, Lin Qiao’s face was flushed, his breathing rapid, and his eyes filled with tears.
“Are you okay? Did your wound get infected and cause a fever?” the doctor player asked, “Let me feel… let me diagnose you.”
Lin Qiao shook his head and panted slightly, “I just fell off the seat while sleeping. My leg is a bit weak, but I’ll be fine soon.”
Yan Ting came over and picked Lin Qiao up, placing him on the seat. Suddenly, he wiped Lin Qiao’s lips with his hand. Lin Qiao winced in pain with a soft “hiss,” and Yan Ting’s eyes looked deeply into Lin Qiao’s shadow but said nothing.
Lin Qiao whispered, “I, I’ll go to first class to rest…”
“Don’t go,” Yan Ting’s words were not only for Lin Qiao but also for everyone else: “There’s a black shadow that got on board and hasn’t been found. Everyone should stay together as much as possible.”
“Rest and eat well. After we change the flight path, we’ll arrive at the destination soon.”
“The plane already has problems, so everyone should be mentally prepared.”
This time, everyone was still very nervous about the landing. After all, the fact that Yan Ting could fly the plane was unexpected for everyone.
However, with the experience from last time, they wouldn’t panic. Plus, knowing there was a shelter, other survivors, and they wouldn’t have to stay on the plane forever, everyone’s hearts were still filled with hope.
Everyone took the time to eat and replenish their energy, not sparing food, and those who could sleep rested as much as possible.
Until they entered the designated airspace, Yan Ting and Zhong Minglang went to the cockpit, and other NPCs who were worried also followed in, afraid that the graffiti hidden on the plane would take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Those who couldn’t get into the cockpit stayed in first class, fastened their seatbelts, and got into positions to brace for impact.
Soon the plane began to shake violently, more intensely than ever before. Not only did thick smoke rise outside the cabin, but smoke also began to fill the inside of the cabin.
The alarm blared throughout the cabin, hurting people’s ears. It was unclear whether it was due to the landing angle or speed, but the passengers inside the cabin even felt difficulty breathing.
However, the symptoms soon eased, although the plane’s side engine might have stalled during landing, scaring the female internet celebrity near the window into shouting loudly.
It wasn’t until the engine reignited that the plane gradually stabilized and landed on the designated surface, though it crashed into several cars and stores in succession.
The sound of crashing and smashing hit the plane, and with a “bang,” the plane collided with something and came to a stop.
Yan Ting and Zhong Minglang came out of the cockpit. Yan Ting undid Lin Qiao’s seatbelt: “Get out quickly. I don’t know if the plane will explode.”
Upon hearing this, everyone hastily unbuckled their seatbelts and ran outside. The airstair had been deployed, but it was damaged from the impact and didn’t reach the ground.
Everyone had to jump down from the height. Yan Ting caught Lin Qiao and placed him on the ground. The mother, anxious and at a loss, held the blonde boy tightly.
Yan Ting said, “Give him to me.”
The blonde mother hesitated for a moment, but still handed the boy to Yan Ting, asking him to help catch him.
NPC passengers were looking for a car, and Zhong Minglang, the bodyguard player, shouted, “Don’t look for a car! There are too many obstacles here; you won’t be able to drive out! Run! Hurry up and run!”
After everyone got off the plane, they sprinted towards the research institute. Lin Qiao’s physical fitness wasn’t great, but he wasn’t the one holding everyone back.
No one knew how long they had been running. The dark night hid dangers. The faint smell of meat could already be detected, and black shadows could be lurking in every direction, but light would attract the black graffiti.
Just then, a huge explosion sounded behind the group, and flames shot up into the sky.
