The audience couldn’t hear their private conversation, but they could see that Ren Shuhan and Jiang Qingyue exchanged a few words, seeming to reach some kind of agreement, and Ren Shuhan stopped moving.
Jiang Qingyue waved his tail and turned to find his teammates and enemies, first instructing his teammates to follow him to call the enemies, and then letting the enemies come over to figure out whether Yu Xi was there or not.
Yu Xi was still hiding while invisible, standing not far behind Ren Shuhan, afraid to move.
Looking at Ren Shuhan, his feelings were very complicated.
Why? With Ren Shuhan’s strength, would he really not be able to find me?
When he looked over, it was as if… he could see me.
Are you looking at me? Yu Xi wanted to ask, but why didn’t you kill me when you saw me? Is it because you actually don’t want to kill me?
Scenes of memories about Ren Shuhan flashed before Yu Xi’s eyes, and suddenly his heart softened.
His Book Transmigration Card was originally usable indefinitely until he stopped it himself, but he stopped it after the first use because the experience wasn’t ideal—
For some reason, Ren Shuhan, this character, didn’t strictly follow the plot, and Yu Xi couldn’t capture Ren Shuhan, so he had a strange feeling about Ren Shuhan. After stopping the transmigration, he came to the system mall and customized a protagonist halo card and a character binding card, so that he could bind all the protagonists he transmigrated to as Ren Shuhan in the future, to satisfy his desire to capture Ren Shuhan, and there should be no more problems.
So after Yu Xi saved enough money from playing another round of ranked matches, he continued the transmigrations.
What he didn’t expect was that his subsequent experiences were even more tragic. Not only did he fail to capture Ren Shuhan, but he was also robbed of the protagonist’s position by Jiang Qingyue.
Yu Xi originally thought that this was because the system kept having bugs one after another, and there was no way to complain, so he was just extremely unlucky. But now, as he covered his painful chest, he finally realized:
The system wouldn’t keep having bugs like this, and Ren Shuhan wouldn’t be blinded by someone forever. Look at the situation now, Ren Shuhan clearly doesn’t want to kill me! All of this must be because of Jiang Qingyue—
Jiang Qingyue once worked as the main system researcher in the interstellar world.
People like him, who come from unknown little worlds and have a little knowledge of technology, try to escape the control of the main world and secretly research ways to resist the main world’s manipulation. There are many such people.
So it must be him manipulating Ren Shuhan.
Because he’s jealous of me, Yu Xi thought, so he took over my plots and replaced it with his own, manipulating Ren Shuhan to kill me, sigh…
Yu Xi chuckled bitterly.
He never thought there was anything wrong with using a protagonist halo for transmigration, but now he suddenly regretted it—
Would Ren Shuhan, now, be even more miserable than me?
Yu Xi knew: He definitely didn’t want to kill me, but he was forced to do so by Jiang Qingyue. No matter how he resisted, he couldn’t disobey Jiang Qingyue’s orders. This feeling must be very uncomfortable. Is he like this in the world of the books as well?
If he had known he would make him so miserable… Yu Xi couldn’t help but sigh, he shouldn’t have continued the transmigration after the first one ended.
At this moment, his logic was self-consistent, and his own pain was greatly relieved.
Unfortunately, in reality, Ren Shuhan was staring blankly at the sea in front of him, his mind only filled with what his wife had just said about the straps…
If Ren Shuhan could still hear Yu Xi’s inner thoughts now, he would definitely find it unbelievable:
How confident is this???
How much does this confidence cost per pound, is there a purchase link? I want to buy some for my wife!
“We’re back~”
The angel’s voice echoed from afar.
Ren Shuhan didn’t turn back, only observing the sea in front of him.
It wasn’t until the people with Jiang Qingyue were about to turn the corner that Yu Xi had to flee, and Ren Shuhan “immediately” sensed it, following closely behind the water’s movements.
Yu Xi, heavily injured, couldn’t run fast, but Ren Shuhan, who couldn’t see him, also pursued slowly. Halfway through, he even stopped and turned back to ask others for weapons.
“Um,” the angel dared not hand weapons to the enemy, volunteering, “I’ll go after him!”
“I’m enough alone,” Ren Shuhan didn’t mind her ulterior motive, affirming decisively.
Teammate Little Assassin had just picked up a handful of shells, all of which were given to Ren Shuhan.
“It in this direction.”
Ren Shuhan said, throwing all the shells out.
Yu Xi was just thinking “Ren Shuhan is again resisting Jiang Qingyue, reluctant to kill, delaying time,” when a bunch of shell-like hidden weapons rained down on him, heavily injuring him again.
He spat out about a liter of blood, dragging his disabled body, rounding two corners, and finally waited until the 30th minute after the start of the game.
“Your teammate has initiated surrender, do you agree to it?”
After the system sound prompt, Yu Xi’s teammates all looked at Ren Shuhan.
“Should I surrender… or not?” The enemy healer hesitated sincerely.
“Listen to our Chaotic God.” The angel continued to fawn.
“I abstain.” The enemy warrior stated.
The enemy healer also followed suit and abstained.
“Don’t surrender,” Ren Shuhan said, “I’ll catch him right away.”
The angel also guessed it and resolutely opposed it. After the vote ended, the game continued.
Jiang Qingyue didn’t try to persuade Ren Shuhan anymore, just pinched his hand to comfort him.
The live broadcast room also began to feel restless.
“Is Unpronounceable Buddha serious about this?”
“His skill shouldn’t be like this, there must be something fishy.”
“Haven’t you noticed? Is Unpronounceable Buddha doing charity for too long, so you dare not guess?”
“This is simply persecuting our Yu Xi! Is there no humanity left?!!”
“Unpronounceable Buddha is playing according to the game rules, can’t the fans of Yu Xi accept defeat?”
“Oh my god, I have a terrible feeling, if this continues, the outcome of this round can only be… I dare not say, my god…”
“It’s almost 40 minutes, this is the longest game Unpronounceable Buddha has played, there is really a problem, he has played much harder maps than this, and the opponent still surrendered in 30 minutes.”
“Yu Xi can’t bear it anymore… it would be a relief!”
“Are you all crazy? Unpronounceable Buddha is tormenting Yu Xi for no reason, and you’re still cheering?”
“Yu Xi’s fans are really thin-skinned, in Sweet Murder, mediocrity is the original sin, hope you know.”
“It’s a matter of winners and losers, if Yu Xi can’t bear it later, his final choice… see if you’ll still support him then.”
Yu Xi, now, was in pain all over, the most painful part being his heart.
Because he made a decision he had never considered in his entire gaming career – to commit suicide.
Unlike surrendering, this was an extremely embarrassing behavior, which would be mocked by the entire server and lead to a significant loss of fans and rewards. Players who commit suicide are considered pitiful creatures abandoned by both opponents and teammates, and it’s the most tragic ending in the game of Sweet Murder.
The last well-known player who committed suicide was only ranked around 100 in the entire server, but Yu Xi now remembered his ID because he was notorious. Not only was he addicted to pressing blood, but he also betrayed teammates frantically, even betraying his girlfriend to save himself. This led to his girlfriend, who was stronger than him, being left with only a drop of blood, and she dared not play ranked matches again. So later, his girlfriend and opponents joined forces, refusing to surrender while not killing him, slowly torturing him, and eventually he had to commit suicide to end the game.
It wasn’t just one game of suicide, but several in a row, until he died completely.
Yu Xi was so angry he almost crushed his teeth.
Clearly, he used to be number one in the entire server, but he never bullied others or betrayed a lover like that, yet he had to face the same ending as him, why?
Why him!
But Yu Xi was helpless. He couldn’t force quit at the start of the ranked match; he had to either surrender or die.
By now, it was almost 50 minutes, although the teammate healer occasionally cast a bit of group healing skill, Yu Xi couldn’t bear any more injuries because he still had two more consecutive ranked matches to play and couldn’t afford to collapse mentally now.
Finally, after a full hour from the start of the match, he used the only weapon he had picked up, a harpoon, to draw a bright red period on this match on his chest.
After that, Yu Xi lay motionless in the room for half an hour.
The barrage quieted down.
In the gaming world, every player regarded this action as ominous, and even after seeing it, they didn’t want to continue watching the match. However, this was a historic battle. The former number one in the entire server and the current number one had subtly matched up for two consecutive matches. No one left the audience seat, just silently unfollowed Yu Xi and instead bound to Unpronounceable Buddha’s ranked livestream.
They waited here for the start of Unpronounceable Buddha’s third match.
Yu Xi used trembling fingers to spend all his savings in the mall, customizing an evasion card to avoid Unpronounceable Buddha in the next match.
He was indeed very interested in Ren Shuhan.
But he couldn’t, he couldn’t meet him again, because if he lost two more matches, he would really die.
But at the same time, Ren Shuhan also customized a new revenge binding card in the mall, binding Jiang Qingyue’s ranked match with Yu Xi.
Just like how rebirth can change the effect of the protagonist’s halo in time-travel novels, the world of Sweet Murder is a utopia for the wealthy. The system will blindly obey whoever holds more gold coins, but the system is still a system, it still follows classical and simple AI rules, first come, first served. So if there’s a situation where the system is attacking its own shield, you can only think of other ways to restrain it. Fortunately, humans are alive, as long as there is money, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
So if Yu Xi had a solution, Ren Shuhan could simply go above him.
Ren Shuhan logged out and switched to Jiang Qingyue’s account.
I’m sorry after all this he still thinks Ren Shuhan is being forced and secretly likes him…. what lol
