Chapter 357: Chapter 277: Competition and Conspiracy

Sheraya’s actions came to a halt; for a moment, he didn’t know what would be the best course of action.

Logically speaking, it was definitely more advisable to wake up Xiao Yi and the others at this time, but personally, Sheraya didn’t want to disturb them.

After all, they had been busy all day and only made a bit of progress, and it would likely be even more difficult later.

In such a situation, Xiao Yi and the others definitely needed sufficient sleep.

If the situation wasn’t much different with or without him, then he shouldn’t worry too much about his own safety. Moreover, if he could handle it well, it would mean he could help them and be somewhat useful.

After weighing the pros and cons, Sheraya had already made up his mind.

So, now there was only one thing for Sheraya to do, and that was...

"I’ll take care of the enemy... At the very least, they shouldn’t be disturbed by this trivial matter."

Sheraya took a deep breath, readying himself, and meanwhile, he drove his attention, Reflexes, Observation, and all to their utmost.

"The enemy appears to be alone for now; I’m not sure if that means he’s the only one left or if there are teammates hidden in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to act. Him coming over so ostentatiously makes the second possibility more likely.

Moreover, since there’s no attempt to conceal himself, does that mean he’s aware of my presence, so he’s deliberately showing himself? If he’s taking this action, it means he’s either strong enough not to care if I’ve spotted him or... maybe he wants to communicate with me.

Anyway, with a ten-meter limit, if I’m careful about the distance, he won’t be able to do much to me. Better wait and see what he does before I respond."

As Sheraya analyzed the enemy’s situation, he also pondered his own strategies.

"Well then, I’ll just stay put. After all, I can’t stray too far from Xiao Yi and the others, and even if I can’t beat the opponent, I can still make a ruckus here, enough to wake up Xiao Yi and the others... The spread of sound, after all, is unrestricted."

With a plan in mind, Sheraya just waited there, waiting for the uninvited guest to arrive.

Soon enough, the person arrived in front of Sheraya and revealed his true face.

"Good evening, Mr. Sheraya," said the newcomer, a young man who seemed very polite.

Sheraya didn’t recognize him, but the reason he knew Sheraya was because this wasn’t Sheraya’s first time challenging Analog Horror.

Through the Analog Horror live broadcasts, Sheraya’s figure was already known to most people; in fact, on Blue Star, it was a minority who didn’t know him.

So Sheraya wasn’t surprised when the other party called out his name; he simply asked:

"What is your purpose in coming here?"

There was no need to know the other’s Name or origins; in this life-and-death instance, there was no point in clarifying that.

What Sheraya needed to know was just one thing: whether the newcomer posed a threat to them.

The young man smiled and replied:

"Don’t worry, I’m not here to take your Core. Rather, I’m here to offer you a Core."

"To offer us a Core?" Hearing this, Sheraya’s vigilance increased a few notches.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If there is, it’s definitely a trap, a trap that leads to an abyss.

Sheraya immediately asked cautiously:

"What do you mean by that? What are you planning?"

"I know you certainly won’t believe me, the idea that someone would actively give away a Core must suggest some sort of conspiracy, right? But!"

The young man, his expression serious and tone resolute, said:

"What I say is the truth, as for proof... you must have realized by now that my teammates have all been wiped out, leaving me alone. Otherwise, the rules would have already taken me down.

And frankly, I have only one Core left on me now, heh... It’s clear to anyone that I have no hope of turnaround. Even if I could survive for now, when the month is up, I’ll still be dead.

Since I’m going to die one way or another, I thought it would be better to give you my only Core. At least you and your teammates have a chance of victory. Instead of letting others wrest it away from me, I’d prefer it to serve a greater purpose."

"To give it to me?"

Sheraya still did not let his guard down, no matter what the other said, and he remained skeptical, asking:

"Why... would you want to give it to me?"

"..." Hearing Sheraya’s words, the young man laughed, "Well, of course, it’s because I admire you."

"Admire me?" Sheraya showed an incredulous look, "You... admire me? Why? I haven’t done anything to earn admiration."

"Haha, you’re too modest." The young man smiled and said: "You’ve passed Analog Horror not just once, isn’t that proof enough? Your strength, strategy, and intelligence are unmatched, and after watching your outstanding performances from the outside several times, how could I not admire you?"

"Is... that so?" Sheraya lowered his head slightly, beginning to ponder his own worth.

He hadn’t expected that others saw him in such a way.

No, he indeed had some ability, but that was just in comparison to others. If they ever came to truly know the brilliance of a shining light, they probably wouldn’t find someone like him interesting anymore.
