Chapter 108 Someone Has to Die
Chapter 108 Someone Has to Die
Mi Lan's eyes widened as she felt the warm blood dripping from her head onto his cheek. She cried and threw herself into Wen Shang's arms, saying, "I thought you didn't want me anymore either."
Wen Shang was slightly unsteady on his feet after being bumped by Mi Lan. After enduring the discomfort, he coldly asked Lu Fei, "Is it alright now?"
At that time, Wen Shang was not weighing the pros and cons as Mi Lan had thought of, but rather considering how to protect Mi Lan.
From beginning to end, Wen Shang never intended to abandon Mi Lan. As for Wang Baitao, as Wen Shang's teammate, as long as he could clear the level, he could naturally be resurrected.
After taking a deep look at Wen Shang, Lu Fei dragged away Wang Baitao's body. Together with Ming Lailai, the six corpses were neatly arranged, forming the outer ring of the six-pointed star black magic circle.
"It's done! It's finally finished!" Kane shouted excitedly.
Ji Xingyi suddenly felt a stinging pain in his eyes. The effects of the holy water had been activated again. He saw black waves of energy rising from the black magic circle in front of him, spreading outward from Emilia as the center, emitting a strange magnetic field that sent chills down his spine.
The surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, and a strange, eerie wind forced everyone to retreat continuously!
Ji Xingyi shielded Jiang Lin behind him, raised his hand to block the black shockwave, and blood began to seep from the corners of his eyes. He couldn't help but squint.
Six orbs of light of varying brightness were gathered together by magic; these were the spirits of the dead trapped here by dark magic!
"Hahahaha! My Julia! Come back to your father's arms!" Kane knelt down, laughing and crying at Emilia.
Mi Lan gripped Wen Shang tightly. Although the black magic looked terrifying, it was finally coming to an end. After clearing the level, Mi Yue, Du Dajiang, and Ya Ya could all be resurrected. The boy, thinking of this, also showed a joyful expression.
Emilia's body was lifted up by the power of dark magic and suspended in mid-air. The six orbs of light released their power one by one, flowing into Emilia's eyes, mouth, and nose.
However, even after Emilia had completely absorbed all six orbs of light, the girl still showed no signs of reviving.
"What's going on!" Kane screamed frantically, "Why!"
"Why didn't it succeed!"
"Aaaaaah—my Emilia!"
Lu Fei was so angry he jumped up and down, grabbing Kane's clothes tightly: "I killed all your men, and you dare to lie to us!"
Kane's eyes widened in fury as he shoved Lu Fei aside, shouting, "There's no mistake! Ten whole years! All my research is here, there's absolutely no mistake! Absolutely no mistake!"
Ji Xingyi wiped the blood from the corner of his eye with the back of his hand, his face grim as he said, "The sacrifices weren't enough!"
Lu Fei was taken aback: "What did you say!"
“Michelle and Angeli are not psychics; their souls are not powerful enough.” Ji Xingyi noticed that the six orbs of light had distinct differences in brightness and darkness.
Because Ming Lailai and Wang Baitao are players, their soul strength is sufficient even if they are not psychics.
"Not enough?" Liu Yangyang's eyes immediately turned to Mi Lan, and he smiled wickedly: "Then kill one more!"
[System Prompt: Please replenish the energy source (4/6) of the Black Magic Circle within 15 minutes. Otherwise, the player will suffer a backlash from the Black Magic Circle after 15 minutes.]
"What!" Lu Fei's expression changed drastically, and he once again aimed his gaze at Mi Lan.
"You dare touch him!" Wen Shang showed no sign of backing down.
"Heh! Then kill you too, that'll just give us another few points! Right, my teammates?" Liu Yangyang lit a cigarette and tilted his head to signal Jiang Lin and Ji Xingyi to make their move.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Wen Shang's gentle voice came from above.
Mi Lan felt a warmth in her heart, pinched her thigh hard, and then strode to block Wen Shang's path.
"Mi Lan!" Wen Shang tried to pull the boy back, but Mi Lan grabbed his severed hand.
Mi Lan felt the warm blood seeping from his severed hand, and he trembled all over. But even though he was terrified, he still had to say, "I'm sorry."
I'm too weak to protect you.
At least, don't let me become a burden to you anymore.
Mi Lan didn't dare to look up at Wen Shang, afraid that he would burst into tears. With red eyes, he stared straight at everyone and said the most principled thing he had ever said in his life: "If you're going to kill someone, kill me!"
Liu Yangyang flicked his cigarette butt with a disdainful look: "Little brother, one isn't enough now."
As soon as Liu Yangyang finished speaking, Lu Fei rushed towards Mi Lan. Wen Shang reacted quickly as well, pushing Mi Lan aside and thrusting his knife at Lu Fei with his left hand.
Lu Fei was forced to stop, using both hands to block Wen Shang's attack, and shouted to Liu Yangyang, "I'll hold him off, you go!"
Just as Liu Yangyang was about to make his move, he suddenly saw a figure blocking his way.
With a height of 1.9 meters, no matter how good-looking he is, it's impossible to ignore the muscular strength hidden under his clothes.
A look of surprise flashed in Liu Yangyang's eyes, followed by a playful smile: "You're not thinking of helping them, are you?"
Ji Xingyi did not answer Liu Yangyang's question, but instead said to Mi Lan behind him, "Does our cooperation still count?"
“It counts!” Mi Lan blurted out, and a little color finally returned to her face, which had been completely desperate.
Liu Yangyang laughed out of anger, then looked at Jiang Lin with a sinister gaze: "You're not going to do something stupid too, are you?"
Jiang Lin also did not answer Liu Yangyang, but silently stared at Ji Xingyi.
"Damn!" Lu Fei didn't expect that Wen Shang wasn't the only madman in this dungeon; the infighting among teammates was truly bizarre!
Wen Shang had weapons, and in a one-on-one fight, Lu Fei had no advantage. He could only hope that Liu Yangyang could provide a breakthrough: "If we don't hand over the sacrifices, we'll all die!"
"Since that's the case, then don't blame me!" Liu Yangyang stared at Ji Xingyi with a sneer, then spat out his cigarette butt and crushed it with his foot.
Just when everyone thought Liu Yangyang was going to make a move against Ji Xingyi, Liu Yangyang suddenly turned around and took Jiang Lin hostage with lightning speed!
The young man, having lost Ji Xingyi's protection, fell directly into Liu Yangyang's hands.
Jiang Lin felt a tremendous force on his neck and had to tilt his head back to maintain his oxygen supply, but he remained silent, staring blankly at Ji Xingyi, as if waiting for the man's decision.
“In this world, someone has to die.” Liu Yangyang continued to tighten his grip, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the young man whose eyes were welling up with tears of suffocation. “If you don’t kill them, I have no choice but to kill Jiang Lin. How about that? This choice isn’t difficult, is it?”
Ji Xingyi clenched his fist, his voice low and menacing: "Let him go!"
"Hehe," Liu Yangyang loosened his grip slightly, letting Jiang Lin catch his breath. His fingertips traced the smooth skin on the young man's chin as he sneered, "Sleeping together every day doesn't necessarily mean you have a good relationship!"
"Jiang Lin, time is tight, so I'll have to make do with this for now. Once you've cleared the game, either come find me or I'll be the most considerate person!" Liu Yangyang's eyes unabashedly painted a picture of the young man's handsome profile.
Actually, Jiang Lin is quite to his liking.
