It wasn't just KP who deliberately blocked their reactions. Except for Ai Qing who suddenly looked up, the others were still staring at the form on the table, holding the dice in their hands without any reaction.
Ai Qing stared at the table and saw the blood Yue Jun spat out before he left. After a long time, she slowly looked up. "They're dead?"
"Don't think of me as such an evil person, madam."
KP smiled and looked behind Ai Qing. "After all, I didn't set such harsh rules with others."
Ai Qing suddenly looked back and saw two figures on the shabby sofa in the corner of the room. It was Yue Jun and his inspector. They were still alive.
But there was nothing left except for being alive.
There was no longer any brilliance in his eyes. His pupils were dilated and dull. He just sat on the sofa, motionless, and drool slowly dripped from the corner of his mouth.
A walking corpse.
"See, I told you they're still alive, right?" KP smiled. "They just lost all their 'sanity' …"
"What's the difference between being alive and being dead?"
"There's a big difference. Compared to the huge price of losing one's life, it's just sacrificing some sanity and losing some dignity. Even if their souls don't collapse, they can find a sanatorium with better conditions and recover in about five or six years.
I think the price I charge is already quite merciful, right? "
KP glanced at Ai Qing's character card indifferently. "Compared to others, you need to worry more about yourself. After all, they just lost their sanity when they died, but you … "
"Tsk."
Ai Qing made a sound of displeasure but didn't say anything.
Just as KP was about to continue the game, his phone on the table suddenly vibrated.
"Hmm?"
He picked it up and looked at it, raising his eyebrows. "Aiya, it seems that many viewers are dissatisfied with this kind of slow game …"
"Viewers?" Ai Qing frowned.
"Didn't I say?" KP seemed to have just remembered and smiled. "This game is being broadcasted live on the border of the dark net.
Now the number of viewers worldwide has reached 30,000, and the paid viewers are about to break through 3,000! That's really worth celebrating! Ah, there's no need to worry. I've protected everyone's privacy for the time being … It's just that the audience's opinions need to be respected. "
He pondered for a moment as if he was in a difficult position. After a long time, he sighed helplessly. "Alright, alright. Let's update the version then.
After all, my goal is to let everyone better enjoy the fun of this story, not to dissuade people with tedious numerical calculations and long rule books. "
He paused for a moment and revealed his signature smile. "Then, let's comply with the audience's demand. From now on, the game would omit the tedious process of casting and judgment, leaving it to the 'autonomous probability judgment terminal' to make the judgment, fully simulating reality!
Everything is to give the players and audience the most realistic gaming experience! "
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers and pitifully announced, "Everyone, the gentle tutorial level is about to end. Next, the game will enter the HARD difficulty level.

Huai Shi fell asleep.
Huai Shi had a dream.
He could clearly feel that he was sinking into darkness and was gradually falling downwards.
Pain, cold, hunger, loneliness, despair, and numbness.
In this seemingly eternal darkness, countless emotions emerged from his chest as if he was abandoned by the whole world. He couldn't even find an inch of land to keep himself.
But in this desperate coldness, a crack seemed to appear in the dark abyss' sky.
From it, a sacred light shone down.
Like a ray of light from a lighthouse, it reflected the figure standing in the deeper darkness.
Huai Shi couldn't see the face because it was too handsome and solemn. Huai Shi couldn't judge his age because there seemed to be the vicissitudes of life and the innocence of a child at the same time. He couldn't even determine the person's gender because that kind of pure beauty seemed to have transcended the category of gender and entered the realm of holiness.
His solemn robes were stained with traces of blood that didn't match the color of blood, and it tainted the holiness of his robes. Thus, he fell from paradise and fell into the abyss.
But no matter how deep the darkness was, it couldn't stain that pure white crown.
As if it was cast from all the light in the world, boundless majesty and brutality adorned it like jewels, stinging every pair of eyes that dared to look at it.
In that instant, Huai Shi saw that figure slowly raise his eyes and look up at the endless world from the abyss.
Thus, the darkness surged like a tide.
Countless hoarse voices overlapped, turning into a deafening roar of thunder.
"Listen, this is the will of the White Crown King; revere, the majesty of the God of the mortal world!" It was like the abyss was roaring, "The supreme decree is announced here, you only need to listen; this is the destiny of the heavens, you only need to obey!"
Then, everything froze.
It was like the entire world was tamed and listening to the words of that figure. Thus, there was a low and gentle voice. Those calm words echoed in the abyss, stirring up a frenzy like the aftermath of the movement of the stars.
"Today, I will erect a monument in a barren land."
The supreme White Crown King gave a decree, "Losers who have not succumbed to adversity and still have a glimmer of hope for the future — if you still have the courage, prove your strength and talent and head to this brand new continent!
When the time comes, I will wait here with this rebellious monument for everyone's arrival. "
Amidst the deathly stillness of time, the Supreme King laughed aloud and declared:
"The era that belongs to us is about to arrive!"
In that instant, Huai Shi woke up from his dream.
He was sweating profusely.
His head hurt faintly, and he only felt dizzy. It wasn't just him. All the inspectors suddenly panted violently, and cold sweat seeped out of their foreheads.
A faint sound of dice rolling could be heard, forcefully deducting one point of rationality from all the players.
But what was frightening was that the moment they woke up, the memories in the dream quickly blurred and dissipated. In the end, other than a few fragments in a trance, it was difficult to recall the entire dream.
Except for Huai Shi.
"White Crown King?" Ai Qing asked in disbelief, "Are you sure he called himself the White Crown King?"
Huai Shi read the records in the Book of Destiny again, "Yes, is he an important person?"
Ai Qing asked in return, "Hundreds of years ago, he single-handedly started the Great Immigration Movement and joined forces with the Inca pedigree and other second-rate pedigrees. He started from scratch and created the American pedigree, one of the six great pedigrees today … That 'natural enemy', do you think he's third-rate?"
Huai Shi was stunned.
Immediately, he trembled.
He was really trembling.
Why did he get involved in such a big shot's matter just by taking in a fragment of the Philosopher's Stone?
After he reacted, he finally knew who Ai Qing was talking about.
The first 'fallen Morning Star' in history.
The former manager of the Holy Spirit Pedigree was said to be a member of the fallen gods. During his most glorious period, his power was extremely great, and he was even known as the deputy ruler of the Kingdom of Heaven!
A thousand years ago, he was the true master of this world. A thousand years later, the miracles and changes he created still deeply affected this world.
Purely in terms of correction value, he alone could reach more than 30%!
One-third of the world was turbulent and changed because of him, and under his will, it became what it was today.
Even the rise of the Astronomical Society was after him.
Compared to such a big shot who was so high that he didn't even know where he was, a newbie like him couldn't even be compared to dust!
So, why did he appear here?
Now it seemed that the power that led Van Helsing and Paracusel to the same boat hundreds of years ago in 1620 came from his hand.
"No, I'm afraid all the passengers were his handiwork."
Ai Qing covered her aching forehead and whispered almost like a moan, "It's 1620 now, Huai Shi … I should have thought of it, I should have thought of it."
"Thought of what?"
She didn't speak again and fell into silence, as if she had entered deeper thought.
Soon, Huai Shi heard a sharp scream coming from outside the door.
Then, it turned into a heartbroken cry.
"My Bobby … My Bobby … Ahhhhh!!!"
The old woman cried out hoarsely, "Who killed my Bobby! Who! Ah, God, I curse you! I curse you! Your soul will be sealed in the eternal winter of Siberia … Ah, my Bobby … My poor child … Who was so cruel to you … "
Huai Shi pushed open the door and walked out in shock. She saw that there were already many people in the corridor looking curiously at the old woman who was kneeling and crying in front of the stairs.
There was also the mangled corpse in her arms.
That was a …
"Chicken?"
Huai Shi narrowed his eyes in disbelief.
It was indeed a chicken.
He could vaguely tell that it was indeed a big rooster that used to be quite handsome and mighty. If it stood up, it would probably be the size of a turkey.
But now it was dead, cruelly disemboweled.
Huai Shi could even tell from Van Helsing's experience that the chicken had been bitten to death, disemboweled, and even its internal organs eaten.
"So tragic."
He couldn't help but whisper, "Did everyone not sleep last night and go to eat chicken on the ship?"
It seemed to make sense.
Soon, the serious-looking Old Xiao came over and said to him in a low voice, "Yue Jun is missing. Everyone gather in my room later."
"He left and has now become a retard." Ai Qing said in his mind, "Do you need me to describe in detail how he licked the saliva on the ground?"
Huai Shi was stunned and then frantically refused.
"Then don't do anything else, Huai Shi," Ai Qing reminded. "Also, be careful of Old Xiao."
"What's wrong with him?"
"He didn't do much." Ai Qing said, "At this time, you have to be careful of anyone who tries to take the initiative. To be exact, everyone."
For a moment, he had nothing to say.
In the silence, only the old woman's heart-wrenching cries could be heard.
But soon, sharp screams came from the deck, and chaos suddenly spread.
Someone died.
To be exact, all the crew members died.
