Chapter 331: Chapter 153 Sorry for Killing You, Sister Zero

At last, Tai Sui had dealt with the Black Knight, and under Gao Xin’s manipulation, it was a perfectly executed trap.

With this, the player with the most negative points was eliminated.

However, the trouble was far from over.

On the contrary, the Black Knight’s sudden appearance had stirred the situation into a very bad state.

The original point deduction tool was gone, as was Iron Hand.

Now, only Gao Xin, Ling Sha, and Lin An were left.

Apart from Lin An, both Gao Xin and Ling Sha were severely injured, with Gao Xin being the weakest. If it weren’t for having absorbed a part of Iron Hand’s arm to repair his body, he would have been as good as a burnt-out lamp.

Of course, that was secondary. The main thing was that they could no longer afford to lose points.

As the game advanced to this stage, whoever fell into negative points would die unless they killed someone else to compensate.

At the moment, Gao Xin was barely holding his own in the battle against the robot, just managing to cope, like a tuft of cotton in the wind.

"Sis..." Lin An came to stand behind Ling Sha.

The implication was clear: they would eventually have to fight Gao Xin, and it would be better to strike first, using the robot to take Gao Xin down.

After all, Gao Xin was too fierce, defeating the juvenile elephant despite the two-level gap—his capacity for limit-breaking counter-attacks was truly terrifying. How could they allow him to recover?

However, Ling Sha slightly shook her head, "No, let’s enter the next round first."

"Sis!" Lin An was anxious.

But Ling Sha had already made up her mind and charged up to battle the robot.

Lin An had no choice but to follow suit.

Thus, the three of them fought the robot together.

Although everyone was in bad shape, the robot was no different.

Gao Xin had then chosen to play a bluff rather than directly detonating his arm to kill the Black Knight.

On one hand, there were the points to consider, and on the other hand, he was thinking about how to seriously damage the robot in the process.

The robot was too tough; even with Ling Sha, he could only wear it down...

Luckily for Gao Xin, he killed two birds with one stone, using the explosion to also seriously injure the robot.

At this moment, the robot was heavily damaged, and against the three of them, it certainly posed no threat.

Especially with Gao Xin’s Demon Blade, filled with energy and even glowing red, it was white-hot, causing significant damage to the robot.

However, they could not kill this robot.

"Be careful with your attacks; the robot that killed the Black Knight is very likely to have inherited the negative score," Gao Xin said.

Ling Sha nodded, "Of course I know. We can only wait until the duel time ends and then enter the room to start the fourth round."

Lin An stayed silent, inwardly anxious.

Time ticked away, second by second, as three men and a machine engaged in a tough battle.

Gao Xin and Ling Sha’s conditions worsened by the minute, growing weaker and more exhausted.

Even Lin An was seriously injured, all of them looking like bloodied men.

But fortunately, the duel time was nearly over.

"Everybody, get close to the passage. As soon as the time is up, we’ll rush into the room," Ling Sha said.

Hearing this, Lin An’s eyes darkened.

Suddenly, he burst forward with accelerated boot speed, charging at Gao Xin.

The electric sword slashed out arcs of electricity.

Gao Xin’s eyes grew fierce, "Looking for death!"

He had anticipated this, and his Demon Blade spun in a slash, without any hesitation, aimed at Lin An, ready to exchange life for life.

How could Lin An dare to exchange lives with him? Tai Sui was like an ancestor of death-defying acts.

Even if he chopped off his head, he would still swing it around to crush him.

Therefore, Lin An shifted his feet, his boots exploding with another burst of speed, retreating swiftly.

He successfully avoided Gao Xin’s so-called Kishin One Strike.

On one hand, he was fast enough, and on the other, Gao Xin was simply too weak.

And because of Lin An’s interference, the robot found an opportunity.

"Boom!"

The robot did not hesitate to attack, its silver blade stabbing toward Gao Xin’s head.

"Stop!" Ling Sha unleashed an explosive punch and hurriedly sent the robot flying.

But the robot still pierced through Gao Xin’s forehead, directly caving in his skull, sending bone fragments flying, and the left brain was pierced on the spot.

Gao Xin’s head was covered in blood, and with a thud, he fell far away, motionless.

Blood was flowing from his seven orifices, and his brain matter was visible; he had no breath of life...

"He’s dead?" Ling Sha and Lin An exclaimed in unison.

They could clearly sense that Gao Xin had no vital signs left.

"What did you do!" Ling Sha was furious.

Lin An furrowed his brows, "I only wanted to disable him, I didn’t expect him to die instantly."

"Now we’re in trouble..."

Ling Sha said sharply, "No kidding! He was already at his limit, it was only because I was distracting the robot that he could keep fighting."

"Your sudden attack on him made it so one blow from the robot could take his life!"

Lin An hurriedly said, "Sis! Neither zero points nor negative scores can claim the prize pool."

"We have too few people left, and the Q&A is AI-led. Do you want to bet all our hopes on everyone earning points in the next round?"

Ling Sha responded with resignation, "With his current state, I wasn’t afraid of him at all. Why not enter the next round together?"

"If there really are negative points, then a fair and square decisive battle is the way to go, what do I have to fear?"

"Why... why do it like this... let him die in betrayal..."

"Do you know what it means for a Young Tiger to defeat a Young Elephant? He shouldn’t just die like that..."

Speaking thus, she grew increasingly irritated and frustrated.

At first, she saw Gao Xin as an enemy, merely a potential collaborator assigned during a game.

But after having gone through so many battles, she had come to completely revise her opinion of Gao Xin.

Especially after the recent killing of the Black Knight, the tacit understanding they shared in battle, choosing to die together without a moment’s hesitation, really suited her temperament.

As the one with the lowest realm and the lightest body, an unknown pawn, he had from beginning to end displayed astonishing strategy, combat abilities, willpower, and courage.

A person like that, if he could survive, was bound to become a legend on the island, and sooner or later his name would spread far and wide.

Even if he were to die, he should die in a fair fight, not from the backstab of a petty man.

Ling Sha looked at Lin An with some disdain, feeling contempt for the first time in the five years she’d known this old friend.

She knew Lin An because the rise of the Lin Family was actually supported by Tangren City; seven years ago, a group of Lin clan subsidiary family disciples were sent to Tangren City for special training, with Lin An at the forefront.

Lin An lived in Tangren City for five years and was familiar with many black hands in Tangren City, including Ling Sha.

Back then, Ling Sha herself wasn’t so formidable, and Lin An was just a young wolf, not much different in strength from her.

They spent all their time together, training and going on missions together, and grew very close, until they reached Tiger Level and went their separate ways.

She became an official black hand and even joined the Dragon Imperial Guard, the personal guard of the City Lord of Tangren City.

Lin An, on the other hand, returned to his family and toiled in the Great He territory; they had not met since, but kept occasional contact.

Now that they were both at True Tiger Level, grouped together in the game, she didn’t expect Lin An to be this inexperienced.

Normally it’s not too bad—he has the fighting strength of a True Tiger Level—but at critical moments, he’s not reliable and can’t contribute much.

Not like Gao Xin, when there’s trouble, he truly steps up! If his life is on the line, he truly fights!

That reliable feeling of someone who would stake everything at the drop of a hat and repeatedly create miracles seemed more like her teammate.

Of course, if he got angry, he really showed it, if you slightly pressured him and made it difficult, he just wouldn’t do it and would flip the table.

Thinking about this, Ling Sha felt some regret and melancholy, if she had accepted Gao Xin’s plan at the time, perhaps things wouldn’t have gotten this bad.

Together, the two of them could control the entire field and play the game to their tune.

"Lin An, why didn’t you listen to me?"

"Even if someone ends up with a negative score, it would definitely come to a fight, then let me kill him or... be killed by him!"

"Why the sneak attack? Afraid he’ll win? Haha, what’s there to be afraid of? If you’re afraid, you’ll be afraid for a lifetime! The path you’re taking, it’ll only get narrower."

Ling Sha felt very displeased, Lin An was on her side; stabbing Gao Xin in the back felt as if she herself had betrayed Gao Xin.

Although Gao Xin had shown no reaction and had simply died, she couldn’t help feeling empathy, as if his spirit in heaven would look down on her too.

The more she thought about it, the more displeased she became, yet she was helpless.

After all, Lin An was a friend of seven years, and Gao Xin was after all an outsider; all she could do was scold him a little.

Lin An frowned and said, "Sis, what does morality matter in a game?"

Ling Sha shook her head, "It’s not about morality, it’s about inner conviction... when you start doubting yourself, that’s the first step towards failure."

In her heart, she thought she would no longer keep in touch with Lin An after this.

If it was only a matter of lacking strength that would be one thing, but she didn’t expect him to be so short-sighted.

After two years apart, they were already not people of the same world.

"See, isn’t this path becoming narrower? You attacked him, what then? Were you not after the score deduction tool? But now he’s dead and it’s just the two of us left..."

"What if we don’t match up in the fourth round? What if there has to be someone with negative points?"

"In the end, don’t we still have to bet on the final pairings to score points?"

She spoke while confronting another robot that was attacking her.

Lin An took a deep breath, "No, Sis, there’s still another way."

"Hmm?" Ling Sha suddenly sensed a raging killing intent explode from behind her.

Without turning her head, she instantly dodged to the side.

The electric sword swept past her nape, leaving a streak of blood.

In the nick of time, she avoided Lin An’s sword strike from behind, only suffering a cut on her scalp.

"Lin An! You..."

Ling Sha was both shocked and furious. Even though she was displeased with Lin An, she had never thought of harming him—not in a million years had she expected him to betray her first.

They had risen from young wolves to Tiger Level together, and in Tangren City, Lin An had followed her, calling her Boss.

On the training field, she had beaten him, but also stood up for him.

This was a typical beloved friend and brother in arms!

She never thought that a game would capsize the boat of their friendship so suddenly.

Fortunately, she had undergone special training, always remaining vigilant.

She had developed muscle memory to counter attacks from all angles and wasn’t about to be beheaded caught off guard.

She had thought this reflex would be used against Gao Xin, but it turned out to be Lin An.

"I’m sorry, Sis Ling Sha, but I had to do this."

"Zzzap!"

Lin An knew of Ling Sha’s prowess; a sneak attack might not necessarily succeed, so he let the electric sword unleash its greatest power.

Though Ling Sha dodged the deadly strike, she was electrocuted in the brain, seeing black before her eyes, her head buzzing, and instantly becoming rigid.

The robot was right there, mercilessly chopping down, seizing the opportunity to strike.

This was why he had chosen to make his move at this moment. Without the involvement of a third powerful party, a one-on-one duel—even with a surprise attack—may not have secured a win against Ling Sha.
