Chapter 22 The Sinister Man's Plan
"Hehehe, they all have to die... everyone has to die."
A sinister murmur came from the corner.
Chen Yang glanced over and saw that Wu Xia was squatting there, her hair disheveled and covering her face, talking to herself in a neurotic manner.
Chen Yang ignored her. At a time like this, everyone was too busy to take care of themselves to pretend to be a saint.
He was considering whether he should try to grab a room first, since no one could say for sure what the consequences of the organ removal punishment would be if it happened to him.
If someone else is missing a part, but he grows an extra organ, that would be truly disgusting.
Just then, an unfamiliar voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Hey bro, wanna team up?"
Chen Yang turned his head. The speaker was a man with a sinister look in his eyes. Behind him were more than a dozen people, all of whom had unfriendly expressions.
"Team up?" Chen Yang raised an eyebrow. "What's the point of teaming up in this kind of game?"
The sinister-looking man didn't show any impatience. Instead, he squatted down and lowered his voice, saying:
"Look, there are only eight rooms left, which can only accommodate sixteen people at most."
I already have thirteen here. Let's find a few more calm people like you to make it a round number.
He paused:
"Let's form a temporary alliance and clear out all the remaining players first."
As long as there are enough people, no matter what the standard value is, we can survive until the end of the game.
How was it?
Chen Yang looked at the sinister man with some disbelief. The sheer ruthlessness of the plan seemed exaggerated even to someone like him who had narrowly escaped death from the industrial park in northern Myanmar.
"Hey buddy, I've been watching you for a while now. You've been calm the whole time. You're a real talent."
The sinister-looking man stared into his eyes, his tone turning cold: "This is your only chance. If you refuse, then we'll be enemies from now on."
The threat is simple and direct.
It must be said that his plan was indeed logically sound.
But he overlooked one thing.
Everyone in this place is being subtly influenced by some kind of mad will.
These dozen or so people seem relatively rational right now, but who can guarantee that they won't all go crazy after a few more rounds of bloody games?
"Sorry, I'm used to traveling alone and have no interest in teaming up."
Chen Yang waved his hand, refusing decisively.
Almost the instant he refused to speak, a fierce glint appeared in the man's eyes, and a dagger appeared in his hand without warning, stabbing straight into Chen Yang's heart.
Chen Yang's reaction speed is now as high as 31 points. The moment the opponent raised his hand, he had already seen the trajectory of the knife tip.
But he didn't dodge. He wanted to test whether this ordinary dagger could break through his 395 points of constitution defense.
"Pfft!"
The blade pierced Chen Yang's body, and blood gushed out from the wound.
Clearly, Chen Yang's body has not yet reached the point of being invulnerable to weapons.
"Hey buddy, the correct answer is right in front of you and you still got it wrong. Looks like you're not as smart as I thought."
The sinister-looking man, with a mocking expression, gripped the hilt of the knife and twisted it hard, attempting to widen the wound.
[Physical damage received: Constitution +5]
Looking at the values that popped up on the system panel, Chen Yang didn't even lift his eyelids: "That's it?"
It hurts a little, but not much.
The sinister man quickly realized something was wrong.
Chen Yang didn't even flinch, let alone scream. He stood firmly in place, as if the blood flowing out wasn't his at all.
"Hey, have you had enough?"
Chen Yang spoke coldly.
The sinister-looking man was stunned for a moment. As soon as he looked up, his vision was enveloped by a dark shadow.
In that split second, Chen Yang had already equipped himself with the [Ominous Mask] and the [Cursed Gloves], and delivered a powerful punch to the sinister man's face!
"hiss!"
The corrosive effect is immediate.
The sinister man's face looked as if it had been splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid; his flesh and blood were rapidly rotting and dissolving in the massive chemical burns.
"ah!!!"
A piercing scream echoed through the hall as the sinister man writhed on the floor in agony.
In just a few seconds, the skin and flesh on his face were completely corroded away, revealing the eerie white bones underneath, and you could even see the nerve fibers still twitching.
Meanwhile, the wound on Chen Yang's body, inflicted by Yin Zhi, was rapidly healing under the debuff effect of the gloves.
The dozen or so henchmen behind him, who had just been recruited by the sinister man, were all dumbfounded, their eyes wide with fear.
"Extraordinary equipment... He actually has extraordinary equipment?!"
Chen Yang himself hadn't expected the corrosive effect to be so terrifying.
The sinister man on the ground had already weakened, his breathing becoming more labored than exhaled.
After the flesh and blood on his face disappeared, the intense pain and shock nearly killed him.
The entire room fell silent; not a single person dared to step forward.
Chen Yang wore a mask and exuded an eerie aura.
In fact, with Chen Yang's current strength, if he really went all out, he could probably kill all the players.
But he doesn't consider himself a pervert.
He even felt that, in terms of moral standards, he was far superior to the gloomy man on the ground who was about to die.
He wasn't so ruthless as to want to kill most of the players and leave only sixteen to pass the level.
The next round of the game will begin in one minute.
[Four players have been detected remaining in the room. Please return to the lobby immediately, or you will be eliminated.]
The cold system notification sounded again, instantly putting everyone present on edge.
Chen Yang looked in the direction of the sound and saw several players trembling as they emerged from behind the door, their faces pale.
He was actually thinking about it just now.
If someone stubbornly stays in the room and refuses to come out, how can this game be played?
If outsiders forcibly break down the door, and the room is damaged and rendered unusable, it will most likely result in a dead end where no one can survive.
However, it now seems that this infinite game is very rule-abiding and doesn't give players any chance to exploit such loopholes.
Perhaps this game is designed to encourage players to kill each other?
A minute passes in the blink of an eye.
[Round 2 begins, current standard value: 48]
Countdown: 09:59
Players whose numbers are less than 48, please enter the room as soon as possible.
The moment the notification tone ended, the hall erupted in chaos.
Of the remaining eighty-odd players, more than half had a number less than 48.
More than fifty people were vying for eight rooms.
This round of competition was far more intense than the previous one.
Some people hadn't even reached the door when they were grabbed by the hair and started fighting each other with bloodshot eyes.
Chen Yang also moved.
He ran while observing his surroundings.
Seeing the increasingly distorted and frenzied expressions on the players' faces, he knew that the negative state of that mad will was rapidly eroding their sanity.
Because of his superhuman physical abilities, Chen Yang rushed to the door of the first empty room almost instantly.
He didn't rush inside.
He turned around, his back firmly against the door, and with a thought, the Demon Slayer Blade instantly appeared in his hand.
He stood guard in front of room number 8, carrying a heavy machete in one hand.
