[Based on my calculations, there are at most ten chapters left in this world. Only two famous people have died in this world. This is the most peaceful world.]
It felt like a long dream. He reached out and rubbed his face. The chaotic images and fragments gradually faded from his mind. Hai Tianqing opened his eyes. He was still in a daze as he looked around. His gaze fell on three familiar figures not far from him.
The hot rain and white fog had already subsided. Under the starry night sky, the three figures sat in a circle, far away from each other. The atmosphere was heavy and strange.
"What are you guys doing?" Hai Tianqing sat up. As he moved, his temples ached. "How did I fall asleep here?"
Just as he stood up and was about to walk towards his companions, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. After he used his mind to sense his surroundings, his face turned ashen.
"Where is my Advanced Ability? [Fitness Trainer's Glory]? Where did it go? "
At that moment, the three figures in front of him finally moved. Hu Changzai slowly turned his head. However, Hai Tianqing didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that he was being very reluctant.
"Cadre Hai, you're awake?" There was some reluctance in his voice. "You don't have to worry. Your abilities are with Xiao Jiu, and some of your special items will be returned to you soon."
"… Could it be that I wasn't dreaming about that duel?"
Hai Tianqing glared at him. His knitted eyebrows revealed his disbelief.
"Yes, it was real. But it's over now."
"What happened to your face?" Hai Tianqing couldn't help but ask.
Hu Changzai's face was full of geometric patterns. His expression was almost indiscernible. As he laughed dryly, the two rows of ink-colored patterns on his skin, which looked like the circuit of a computer's motherboard, bent slightly. The geometric patterns followed his neck and extended all the way to his collar, "We accidentally ate something called Usu Poison in the game. That's why we became like this …"
Before Hai Tianqing could cast his astonished gaze at the remaining human and hare, Lin Sanjiu and B.Rabbit had already turned their heads away as if they had accepted their fate.
Lin Sanjiu's slightly slanted cat eyes were now covered by a few circles of complicated patterns. She looked like a panda with dark circles carved into its eyes. Even though it was a little odd, Lin Sanjiu found it acceptable after looking at it for some time.
However, when Hai Tianqing saw the brown-furred rabbit, he was dumbfounded.
The rabbit was only wearing a black leather eye patch, and the remaining eye was covered with thick, black, smokey eye makeup. There was a ring of purple lipstick around its three-petaled mouth, and there were metal rings hanging from its long ears. The holster around its neck was gone, replaced by a black, spiky collar. In such a Gothic outfit, the most noticeable thing was the little pink carrot pattern all over its fur.
"Too, too curious," Hai Tianqing blurted out unknowingly.
The expressions of the two humans and the rabbit seemed to have sunk to the bottom of the valley.
"The side effect of consuming Usu poison is that it will grow patterns on your face or body," Lin Sanjiu's voice sounded like she was in pain. Lin Sanjiu's voice was filled with anguish. "As for what kind of pattern it will grow, it all depends on what comes into your mind at that moment."
Hu Changzai lowered his head and looked at the back of his hands. Both of them were also covered with intricate patterns that looked like electronic circuits, "I heard it was on my face and body … That's why I'm covered with patterns …"
The Gothic rabbit's face tensed up, and it didn't say a word.
However, Lin Sanjiu didn't let it go. "As for B.Rabbit, its outfit is caused by a Special Item. The carrot is the pattern … I don't know why it would think of that pajama-like pattern. Fortunately, this Usu poison is only temporary, and it won't last forever. "
Hai Tianqing heaved a sigh of relief. He took a few steps forward and wanted to sit beside B.Rabbit. However, just as he was about to bend over, the other three people jumped up at the same time and shouted, "Stay away from me!" Then, all of them retreated to a distance.
"What's wrong with all of you?" Hai Tianqing's expression wasn't too good.
Lin Sanjiu let out a long sigh as she rubbed her forehead.
[Usu Poison]
Description: A new type of virus from the laboratory of Hickory Pharmaceutical Company. The first person who consumes the virus will become a carrier of the virus, and they will not be harmed by the Usu poison. However, if someone comes into contact with the carrier of the virus, they will be infected by the virus and suffer from an incurable blood disease. In a short period of time, they will bleed to death from their pores. If two carriers come into contact with each other, both of them will die. If there is a barrier between their skin, they will not be infected.
Time limit: The effect of the Usu poison will disappear after killing six people who come into contact with it.
Side effect: Patterns that appear in your mind will appear on your face or body for six months.
After hearing that, Hai Tianqing took the initiative to sit further away. His body was twice the size of the others, so he couldn't afford to accidentally touch anyone.
"From a positive point of view, this is a very good defensive measure. Now, no one will dare to touch you guys. But, B.Rabbit's attire and my ability … What's going on? "
The two humans and B.Rabbit looked at each other. Lin Sanjiu, who suffered the least damage, explained the situation to Hai Tianqing from the fourth round onwards.
After the game ended, the three of them sat at the dining table in a daze. They watched as Mr. Dot stood up with a smile and announced the results. Although Hai Tianqing's mouth was open, his voice came from a loudspeaker somewhere and echoed through the entire room.
Surprisingly, they weren't the only four survivors. Zhong Junkai had fainted early on, so he maintained the least amount of stamina and managed to survive. The long-legged woman from the White Team didn't have much of a chance to survive, but her desire to live was too strong. She squeezed out the blood from her teammate's corpse and forced herself to drink human blood to survive until the end.
As for the heavily injured old lady and the defeated team members, they had already died.
However, unlike the previous time, they couldn't extract their abilities from the dead this time. According to the man in the stronghold, it was because they had exceeded the "preservation period".
After waking Zhong Junkai up and feeding him something, Mr. Dot listed out the abilities of the members of the White Team.
Hu Changzai's two advanced abilities: [Discern Truth from Falsehood], [Truth Cannonball]
Hai Tianqing had an advanced ability: [Glory of the Fitness Coach], an advanced ability obtained from the rabbit: [Rabbit Idiom], and an advanced ability obtained from Lara: [I Feel Pity When I See].
Long-legged woman's advanced ability: [A Twinkle in the Sky]
There were a total of six abilities, and four of them belonged to their own people. It was a pyrrhic victory.
Regardless, the abilities were distributed to the members of the Red Team based on their contributions and their own wishes. [Rabbit Idiom] and Hu Changzai's ability were given to B.Rabbit while Hai Tianqing and the long-legged woman's abilities were given to Lin Sanjiu. Even though Zhong Junkai was absent in the fourth game, he was still Lara's boyfriend. Lin Sanjiu made the decision to give him Lara's ability.
As for the five Special Items she found on the members of the White Team, she kept them safely. Other than Lin Sanjiu, the other three members didn't have anything good on them, so they needed Special Items. After counting the three Special Items they won and the three Special Items they found on the old lady, they had a great harvest this time.
Lin Sanjiu took out three orbs from the wooden box and watched them fuse into her skin. She then raised her head and asked, "Mr. Dot, can each of us request for a Special Reward?"
She remembered this very well.
Mr. Dot still maintained his appearance as Hai Tianqing. For some reason, he didn't reveal his real body, "Sure, you guys can request for it."
Zhong Junkai, who was lying lifelessly on the side, suddenly had his eyes light up as he struggled to get up.
Lin Sanjiu lifted a corner of the wooden box and took out the Diary Card that she had pasted at the bottom. She quickly scanned through the Diary Card and heaved a sigh of relief. She smiled at Mr. Dot and said, "B.Rabbit and I both want this wooden box."
B.Rabbit, who was suddenly represented by Lin Sanjiu, was stunned for a moment. He was a little dissatisfied, "Hey, I haven't thought about it yet!"
Lin Sanjiu didn't say anything. She just handed the Diary Card to him.
B.Rabbit held the card with his front paw and looked down. He was instantly speechless.
On the Diary Card, there was a detailed record of Lin Sanjiu converting the wooden chest into a card during her second game. Even though Lin Sanjiu was afraid of being punished by Mr. Dot, she only turned the wooden chest into a card for less than a second before putting it back in its original spot. However, since she had called out the Diary Card beforehand, all the information about the wooden chest had been recorded. Even the process of using the wooden chest after that was recorded on the Diary Card was recorded in its entirety on the Diary Card.
It was this wooden box that had the magical ability to take other people's abilities and use them for oneself.
With it, they could return their abilities to Hai Tianqing and Mr. Dot. Not only that, this wooden box could even take the abilities of a newly deceased person. In other words, this wooden box was like a cheat!
"I can't give this wooden box to you," Mr. Dot suddenly laughed, "If I give it to you, I won't have it anymore."
Lin Sanjiu, who had always been full of confidence, was stunned. She had forgotten that Mr. Dot had never said that he couldn't refuse.
Mr. Dot observed her expression calmly, as if he was happy to see her bewildered expression. After a while, he smiled and said, "But … I can give each of you a replica."
It was only then that Lin Sanjiu and B.Rabbit felt their hearts returning to their original place.
After receiving the replica box and distributing the Special Items, the Pocket Dimension finally ended. When they walked out of the Instance Dungeon, they found that the white fog outside had dissipated, revealing a world that had been mostly destroyed. It made sense. The time they spent in the Pocket Dimension was equivalent to two to three months. No matter how heavy the rain was, it couldn't last for so long...
After explaining the situation to Hai Tianqing, Lin Sanjiu opened her palm and took out the [Rob the Poor to Feed the Rich Box].
The crimson replica was very small. It was about the size of a lunch box, so it could only be called a wooden box. Lin Sanjiu put her hand into the box and whispered to Hai Tianqing, "This replica is much weaker. Each box can only be used twice, and it can only take one ability each time. Also, it can't be used on a dead person. But no matter what, your ability can be returned to you now … "
In order to return Hu Changzai's ability, B.Rabbit had already used up two uses of the box.
Hai Tianqing looked down and saw that there was a ball of light floating in the wooden box that was handed over. When he stretched his hand out, the glowing orb immediately flew into his hand as if it knew the way home. Then, it melted into his skin and disappeared.
Hai Tianqing stretched his arms and felt that his ability had returned. He nodded at Lin Sanjiu and handed the wooden box back to her. At the same time, he asked a question that had been bothering him for a long time, "Since you have taken the Special Items, you can return my ability … Why are you guys still sitting here?"
There was no longer any hot rain. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The white fog and the strong wind had disappeared. The yellow sand had been drenched by the rain and had turned into mud. They couldn't fly freely in the air for the time being. In such weather, they could see clearly. It was the best time to set off.
Hu Changzai sighed heavily and said in a tone that sounded like a sigh, "Cadre Hai, do you see our cars?"
"Huh?" Hai Tianqing was stunned. He immediately stood up and looked around.
At this time, three people and a rabbit were sitting alone on the empty road. On the side of the road, there were a few dilapidated cars covered in thick mud. Behind them, apart from the ruins, there was only a building that was on the verge of collapse. Hai Tianqing then realized that the two cars filled with food and water had disappeared.
"We stayed in the Pocket Dimension for two to three months … Our cars have long been stolen," Lin Sanjiu's muffled voice came from her palm. "Since I can't convert such heavy things into cards, they have been parked by the side of the road."
