Chapter 368: Chapter 282 The Final Enemy_2

"Then, after realizing that the Cores would be depleted, we understood that your goal was to reduce the total number of Cores. Taking the rules into consideration, we could almost guess your purpose."

"Known, you’ve known... for some time?" Tenkai Renji couldn’t help but take a few steps back, "Does that mean you’ve also been devising countermeasures against my plan this whole time?"

"Correct." Fei Ye nodded, and then said, "To get straight to the point, we intentionally created false Cores to deceive you. Of the Cores you’ve destroyed, only Wen Huaxin’s were real. In other words, our Core count is still the highest."

"False... False!?" Tenkai Renji still found it hard to believe, "How is that possible? Wen Huaxin and his people have such strong intelligence-gathering capabilities. Every move you make is under his surveillance. How could you possibly have had the opportunity to create fake Cores?"

"Of course, we could." Sheraya stepped forward and said, "As it happens, my ability enables me to create fake Cores in an instant. And, even under surveillance, we still had a place where we could create the false Cores."

"A place? Could it be!" Tenkai Renji immediately realized, looking down at the ground, "You completed the Core switch in the sewer, didn’t you!?"

"You guessed right." Fei Ye said with a smile, "The sewer’s limited lighting is just enough to conceal view. We used the excuse of fishing for Cores so that they wouldn’t be suspicious. They thought we were really retrieving Cores, not creating fake ones.

In reality, if you think about it, the chances of fishing out Cores from a sewer are almost nonexistent. In fact, we didn’t have that many Cores to begin with, so we chose to bluff, all to lure Wen Huaxin and his people out, to snatch away the fake Cores on us, and to draw you out to act against those Cores.

Whether you won or he won, we could reap the benefits without lifting a finger. After all, the real Cores we did possess had already been casually thrown into the sewer, drifting with the current and nearly impossible for anyone to find."

This was the plan Xiao Yi, Fei Ye, and Sheraya had come up with after their discussion.

They didn’t have the ability for foreknowledge, but they had still anticipated the current situation and devised countermeasures, and thus truly achieved the ultimate victory.

"So that’s how it is, that’s how it is..." Tenkai Renji felt his head spinning, but he couldn’t help laughing aloud, "Hahaha! Impressive! To foresee to this extent and execute such a perfect strategy! Your interpretation of the rules and our perceptions are impeccable! Facing opponents of your caliber, even in defeat, I am convinced!"

With that, Tenkai Renji gave a round of applause to Xiao Yi and the others.

"The victors of this Analog Horror, without a doubt, are you... Congratulations."

As Tenkai Renji spoke, the final countdown also finally reached zero. His time was up.

Tenkai Renji had not even had the chance to react before his body disappeared, and he was no longer seen in the Ruined City. It seemed he had entered what’s called a settlement state.

...Or perhaps, he was already dead.

Xiao Yi and the others, however, still stood their ground, just as they had initially anticipated.

"Hm... It seems we indeed have thirty-one days of time," Sheraya couldn’t help feeling sentimental. "When Fei Ye suggested she become the team leader to ensure our victory, I was skeptical... I never thought it would actually come to this. But then again, did she see through everything from that moment on? This is truly..."

"So..." Xiao Yi still looked completely unruffled, "In other words, we don’t have any enemies left to fight, right? Does that mean we can treat the next day like a vacation?"

"No..."

However, just as Xiao Yi and Sheraya let out a sigh of relief, Fei Ye revealed a seriousness never seen before since her debut.

"The end is not yet here... There’s still one final enemy to deal with."

"The final... enemy?"

Fei Ye’s words furrowed the brows of both Xiao Yi and Sheraya, their hearts filled with confusion.

"At this point, who could possibly still be a threat?" Sheraya quickly asked, "And why such a grave expression? Who is this enemy?"

"...Fei Ye fell silent for a moment before speaking, "We’ve encountered enemies and obstacles before, and I saw through those rules at first glance, but I was still careless. There was one thing I didn’t see through immediately... and that’s the victory condition."

"Victory condition?" On hearing this, Sheraya also recalled the victory rules, "I remember it’s... [Victory Condition: Win this game and exit the Ruined City]... Huh?"

But soon, Sheraya sensed something was amiss.

"After winning, we still have to leave the Ruined City? Could it be that the final enemy will appear after we win!?"

Just as Sheraya finished speaking, suddenly! The gate to the safe zone not far from them... opened.

Right after, a familiar figure emerged from within.

"Congratulations to you," Mr. Ke said with a clap, approaching Xiao Yi and the others, "At this point, you are the final victors of this game, so let me extend my congratulations."

"We’ve already won?" Xiao Yi asked, puzzled, "Could it be that the others were also here for thirty days and have now disappeared?"

"No..." Mr. Ke smiled and said, "There are still others who haven’t entered the settlement phase, but... from the looks of it, they won’t be able to change the final outcome within a day, so I took matters into my own hands and killed them."

"...Eh?"

Mr. Ke’s words left Xiao Yi and his companions momentarily stunned.

"Killed them?" Sheraya also immediately sensed something, "Isn’t it impossible to kill in the safe zone?"

"That’s only true for you," Mr. Ke said with a smile, "Besides, I set the rules here, I can easily overstep or abolish them. And all I have done, is to execute you at the earliest opportunity."

"...!" Sheraya quickly retreated with Fei Ye and Xiao Yi and asked Fei Ye, "Is he the final enemy you spoke of? But why? Why does he want to execute us?"

"I don’t know." Fei Ye also shook his head, "I’m not sure why he’s doing this, but one thing I am certain of is that we stand no chance against him with our abilities."

Then, in the next instant, Sheraya understood the significance and weight of Fei Ye’s words.

Because... Mr. Ke casually raised his hand and stated nonchalantly:

"[Rule Ten: Sheraya Caligula is no longer able to use her talent]."

"[Rule Eleven: Xiao Yi, Fei Ye, and Sheraya Caligula cannot escape from my presence]."

New rules were casually created and then, undoubtedly, suppressed this world.

"What...!?"

Sheraya realized he could no longer use his abilities, and moreover, Mr. Ke had somehow already appeared in front of them!

No, it was they who had come to Mr. Ke and could no longer escape.

"Formulating rules? What is going on?" Sheraya was truly panicked now; he looked at Mr. Ke and asked, "What... what exactly are you?"

"..." Mr. Ke just gave a slight smile and then slowly said, "I am... the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma."
