Chapter 327: Chapter 151 One Must Die_3

Facing the robot’s relentless assault, Lin An didn’t dare to engage, but instead kept dodging and creating distance.

His boots, capable of explosive acceleration, took it up a notch at that moment; his speed surged even higher, and not even the robots could keep up.

When the robots chased Ling Sha, he would harass them, repeatedly drawing their aggro back and forth.

But the robots weren’t fools, and they quickly saw through Lin An’s attacks, realizing they posed no threat. They simply ignored him and only chased Ling Sha.

Seeing that Lin An couldn’t stop the robot, Ling Sha urgently said, "Block it for me!"

Lin An replied bitterly, "My electric shock doesn’t work on robots."

Ling Sha’s eyes widened, and she grew somewhat angry, "Don’t you have any aces up your sleeve?"

Lin An hastily said, "My ace is my speed, in this game, I’m the fastest runner!"

"Tsk..." Ling Sha frowned. Although she had known Lin An for a long time, they had never fought side by side. She knew he was True Tiger, but was unclear about the extent of his abilities.

It was only today when they were paired that she realized Lin An was only good at running.

Although there was the option of an electric shock sword, it was incredibly effective against humans, but robots had outrageously high resistance to electricity, rendering it almost useless.

Suddenly, Lin An leaned close to Ling Sha and whispered, "Sis... I believe you can kill the Black Knight, but doing so would cost you fifteen points."

"Do you realize what losing fifteen points means at this stage? There’s only one round of pairing left; it won’t be enough to recover."

"And the 60 points in the prize pool are also out of reach, so it’s almost a certain death."

Hearing this, Ling Sha was startled.

She disliked thinking about the game during combat. To fight was simply to fight, focusing entirely on the battle itself.

But now, she had to consider it.

There were 60 points in the prize pool, but to claim them, you needed to have your own points on the line.

As for the pairing, with only one round left, if she killed the Black Knight now, there’d be no way to recover the deficit, and she’d be killed off at the game’s end.

"But Tai Sui can’t die. If the Black Knight kills Tai Sui, won’t I still have to face the Black Knight anyway?" Ling Sha declared resolutely.

Lin An said, "I know, sis... I just want to tell you, whether you or Tai Sui kills the Black Knight, it means you’ll have to turn on each other afterwards."

"Because the only way to avoid being killed off is for someone to claim the 60 points after pairing and then to inherit those points before killing that person."

"Guess why Tai Sui let the Black Knight go earlier? It wasn’t just for the points, it was a matter of life and death."

"Once he’s down fifteen points, the only way for him to survive is to wait for you to take the 60 points and then to kill you!"

Ling Sha then realized why Gao Xin, even at a life-or-death moment, had spared the Black Knight, leading them into their current predicament.

In fact, Gao Xin had no choice. If he killed the Black Knight, he’d have to kill another person afterward.

And since she and Lin An were together, it was akin to Gao Xin having to kill the whole field.

"He doesn’t want to betray the alliance, so that’s why he’s doing this. I have to help him more," Ling Sha said somberly.

Lin An frowned, "He’s just not certain he can take out the Black Knight and then deal with us when he’s out of options."

"Sis, you’ll definitely want to help him take out the Black Knight, but you can’t kill the Black Knight yourself."

"If Tai Sui gets the kill, you must strike back immediately, crippling him. In the next round of pairing, he’ll be our point deduction tool... and afterwards, we use the rules to kill him."

Ling Sha furrowed her brows, "No, I’d rather just disable the Black Knight and then use the rules to kill him. Wouldn’t that be better?"

Lin An gritted his teeth, "What about the next round of pairing? If we’re the smallest, or it’s a 10, we’ll lose points – it’s just a difference between losing 1 point or 5 points."

"Even if we take down the Black Knight cleanly, in the next round, one of the three of us is very likely to end up with negative points."

"Which means, one of us must die."

Ling Sha nodded with resolve, had it really come to this?

The sudden emergence of the Black Knight had pushed them to the brink of desperation, and Iron Hand was already dead.

And the Black Knight, even with just his head remaining, could still fight; it was impossible to keep him around as a point deduction tool.

Therefore, in the next round, if any of them ended up with negative points, either they or Tai Sui would have to die.

Since she and Lin An were as close as branches of the same tree... Tai Sui had to die.
