Chapter 371: Chapter 284: Clearing the Level

The condition for clearing the game was to leave the Ruined City, which meant stepping out of its bounds.

However, Mr. Ke had extended the boundaries of the Ruined City itself, meaning no matter where Xiao Yi and his group went, they still hadn’t left the Ruined City! They had to wait until time was up!

"How is this possible? Can he really just negate the clearing condition?"

Sheraya felt an overwhelming sense of despair. The enemy they were facing was far too powerful! The ability to create rules at will without any cost had surpassed human comprehension!

How should they confront such an enemy?

Or was it true that they never had a chance to begin with?

"Don’t worry..." Despite everything, Fei Ye still maintained her calm demeanor, "Even so, it’s not time to give up. We are still alive, and as long as we are alive, we can make a change!"

"It’s certainly not elegant to keep falling, Rule Fourteen, ’Let us stand atop the platform.’"

Just then, as they continued to fall, Mr. Ke, who seemed quite content, leisurely set a new rule. Suddenly, everyone’s descent halted, and they were standing firmly on an invisible platform.

After Mr. Ke steadied himself and adjusted his clothes, he spoke:

"Such strong conviction; this is why human beings are so fascinating. Even with zero probability of survival, they still refuse to give up resistance. It’s truly irrational, truly intriguing... Or should I say, humans are creatures skilled in deceiving and comforting themselves?"

"There is never a zero probability," Fei Ye retorted resolutely, "And even you have a fatal weakness!"

"Oh?" Mr. Ke showed a look of surprise, "My weakness? That is truly interesting. We still have quite some time before the end, there’s plenty of time, so go ahead and tell me."

"Hss... hah..." Fei Ye took a deep breath, seemingly preparing herself mentally, then slowly said, "Just now, you said that, right? According to the rules, there’s still some time left, and you haven’t found out what my talent is yet, have you?"

"..." Mr. Ke fell silent; it seemed he realized that he had, due to his own slip of words, exposed his own weakness.

"That’s right." Fei Ye continued, "You said according to the rules, there’s still some time left, right? For someone like you who can create rules at will, why would you need to say ’according to the rules,’ as if you yourself had to follow them.

Then, combining with what you said earlier, you are not an opponent for the Analog Horror, meaning you can make rules, but not any rule at will, at least, you can’t make rules that are contradictory, cyclical, and antagonistic to those nine Source Rules set by Analog Horror, right?"

"Wonderful indeed." Mr. Ke couldn’t help but laugh, "It seems I am still bound by human emotions after all. My vanity and desire to showcase oneself have exposed my greatest weakness. Sigh... To avoid being discovered by those entities, I must fully become human, it’s a kind of fate, isn’t it?"

Then, Mr. Ke looked at Fei Ye again and slowly said,

"I must admit, your wisdom is surprising. With this information, even an ordinary person, after racking their brains, could defeat me. Therefore, I believe I must show you respect, and then... let’s make a deal."

"...A deal?" For some reason, Sheraya, listening on the side, felt something was off.

And sure enough, Mr. Ke stated the content of the deal.

"My target has always been only Xiao Yi, you were not part of it from the beginning. In other words, as long as you do not hinder me from giving death to Xiao Yi, I will not harm you further, even protect you until the instance ends... Don’t worry, I won’t break our agreement, I have no need to break it as you indeed hold no value. I promise, I will ensure your safe departure from here. What do you think of this deal?"

"This guy... how despicable!" Sheraya clenched his teeth tightly.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, he immediately proposed this, turning the scenario from three people fighting together into a moral dilemma where sacrificing Xiao Yi might mean survival!

And Fei Ye, who didn’t actually have a deep relationship with Xiao Yi, had no reason to risk everything and oppose an illogical enemy!

Without a doubt, she was very likely to choose to sacrifice Xiao Yi!

Then, Mr. Ke continued,

"Moreover, this information only has value if I am unaware of it myself, since if I were aware, I certainly wouldn’t easily fall into your trap and make a rule that contradicts the Source Rules. You pointed this out specifically to propose this deal to me, right? Come on, decide quickly."

"...So, is that it?" Sheraya closed his eyes weakly; at this point, whatever happened was beyond his ability to influence.
