Chapter 367: Chapter 282: The Final Enemy

"Tenkai... Renji?"

Seeing the suddenly appearing Tenkai Renji, Xiao Yi and the others also showed a slight change in expression.

Tenkai Renji also looked at Xiao Yi and the others, and said,

"Sorry, but I won this round of ’Analog Horror.’ I’m not fond of us killing each other, but even so, I must survive, and this is the winning strategy I thought of."

"Winning strategy?"

Sheraya frowned, looking at the North Korean soldier who, due to the mysterious Power of Annihilation, only had his head and feet left, clearly already dead.

His middle body, as well as those two bags filled with Cores, had all disappeared without a trace, undoubtedly annihilated to the point of nonexistence.

"So this is your so-called winning strategy?" Sheraya looked at Tenkai Renji again and asked, "You... actually destroyed all the Cores."

"That’s correct," Tenkai Renji nodded, then turned to Fei Ye and said, "To win ’Analog Horror,’ one must exploit the rules to the fullest extent, right?"

"..." Fei Ye was silent for a moment before saying, "So, you took advantage of Rule Four?"

"Exactly," Tenkai Renji explained. "[Rule Four: Upon entering the Ruined City, each person will receive a Core. Please protect your own Core.], the rule states to protect, not to keep safe, the Core. I also confirmed this with Mr. Ke. Since the rule mentions protection, it implies that the Core can be destroyed, doesn’t it?"

Then, Tenkai Renji looked down at his hand and said,

"More precisely, I have a strong destructive talent from my talent, ’Item Annihilation.’ This made me pay close attention to Rule Four, to confirm whether the Core could be destroyed and whether I had the ability to destroy it. This way, I can win without having to snatch other peoples’ Cores, without having to personally kill anyone else."

"Destroy the Cores?" Sheraya gritted her teeth, "Indeed, there’s only so many Cores, even if I only have a few myself, as long as the total is reduced, those few can still represent more than fifty percent! Easily securing the ultimate victory... you’ve been preparing for this all along, haven’t you?"

"That’s correct," Tenkai Renji continued to explain unhurriedly: "During my time in the Ruined City, I’ve been focused on eliminating the Cores. Come to think of it, I should thank you all. Thanks to your actions, the majority of the Cores were gathered in the end, allowing me to annihilate them all at once. Otherwise... I was actually prepared for failure, but fate seems to be on my side. Without having to personally kill so many people, I can end this all."

Tenkai Renji took a deep breath, seemingly filled with emotion, and continued,

"You can certainly think of me as hypocritical, doing this is merely a selfish self-satisfaction. It means others will still all die, and I have indeed personally killed someone, that North Korean soldier... I had no choice but to take his life. But, I will not feel Regret. This was the only choice I could make."

"How confident of you," Sheraya’s expression darkened, and she said harshly, "Even if all the Cores are destroyed, what of it? We can still snatch the Core from your hands!"

"Unfortunately," Tenkai Renji shook his head, "my Core is already hidden in a safe place. I can confidently say that you definitely won’t be able to find my hidden Core."

"Then, killing you will suffice," Sheraya was about to make her move, "After all, you have no teammates left, and once you’re killed, the ownership of your Cores will still fall into our hands."

"Ha..." Tenkai Renji sighed helplessly, "I wouldn’t recommend you do that, after all, getting hit by my ability does hurt quite a bit. Perhaps entering the settlement status, dying in the settlement status, won’t be too painful."

"And..." Tenkai Renji looked towards Fei Ye and Xiao Yi, "I have thirty days in a month, which means I am about to enter settlement status, and you won’t be able to do anything to me anymore, then, you won’t be able to find my Core, just dragging out this last bit of time, I will have won this round of ’Analog Horror.’"

"...Oh?" At this point, Xiao Yi was somewhat able to keep up with their conversation, so he immediately asked Tenkai Renji, "You’re stalling for time too? What a coincidence, actually, the timing we discussed before was to drag it out as much as possible after you showed up."

"......Ah?"

The expression on Tenkai Renji’s face finally became unsettled, or rather, he began to sweat profusely.

"You’re stalling for time, too? No, that’s not right! You knew I was going to be here? Does that mean you’ve already perceived my purpose and my planned actions!? How... how is that possible!?"

Tenkai Renji almost cried out in shock.

"I thought I was dragging out time by chatting with you slowly, but... this was also your goal!? What... exactly did you do!?"

"Let’s see..." Xiao Yi checked the time on his phone before continuing, "I think it’s about time, Fei Ye, perhaps you can reveal it now?"

"It’s time," Fei Ye nodded, then turned to explain to Tenkai Renji, whose pupils had contracted in agitation, "Actually, we had already noticed your intentions. When you purposely asked us to go to the safe area before, we already suspected you had another motive.
