"What's wrong?"
Jiaye tilted his head toward the swimming pool where Tuberculosis Rabbit was, "Yi, can't you ride a motorbike?"
"That... yes."
After pondering for a moment, Tuberculosis Rabbit buried his head in the water and stopped talking.
That takes guts.
Riding on Yi's motorbike would make him vomit, so Jiaye must be very brave.
...
"Alright."
Chen Yi looked at the expectant Jiaye in front of him and nodded.
He mounted the motorbike.
The throttle was twisted to the max.
Five minutes later.
Jiaye, pale-faced, crawled up from the motorbike and collapsed into a nearby beach chair.
She had been literally floating in the air just now, clutching Chen Yi's waist with both hands to prevent being thrown off!
Even though this was the first physical contact between them.
It was far from the romance she had imagined.
She only felt... she might be dying.
...
Time always flies.
Chen Yi and the others didn't intend to rush back.
They had team building for more than ten days.
Time quickly advanced to July 25th.
Zhou Ziqiang started by playing with them for a few days, but then he also left. With Zhou Ziqiang's strength, returning to Blue Star was not an issue.
"It's time to go back."
Lying on the beach chair, Chen Yi picked up a calendar nearby and held it in front of his eyes, "If we don't go back now, the August rules will be updated."
"Okay."
The Sword Without End on the neighboring beach chair glanced at the shop panel, "There's a Map Access Pass for return to Blue Star on sale in the shop, 5000 Points each."
"This pass only allows for one-time entry."
"Team formation is not allowed for multiple people, with a maximum of two people per team."
"How should we arrange ourselves?"
"I'll pair up with Jiaye."
Chen Yi was the first to speak, "Jiaye is weaker in strength, I'll take her along."
"Okay."
Jiaye's eyes squinted into crescents, her little hands clasped behind her back, and she stood beside Chen Yi, nodding lightly, her eyes full of laughter and joy.
"Then I'll team up with Tie Chui."
Tuberculosis Rabbit pulled out a cigarette from his chest and tossed it to Tie Chui's lap, "Brother, is it okay if we are on the same team?"
"No... no problem."
"What about me?"
Sword Without End was startled, asking subconsciously.
"You go solo, you've returned once already, so you should have the experience."
"..."
Sword Without End fell silent and emotionless, no longer speaking.
...
?Map Name?: Indistinguishable Human from Ghost.
?Map Level?: C-level.
?Map Content?: All players will appear in a bustling modern city, and their task is to destroy the city's library.
There is a time bomb inside the library.
Players can go there and activate the bomb.
The bomb will explode in one hour.
During this period, enemies will surround the library and launch attacks, and players need to resist the attacks from the outside.
Thirty seconds before the explosion.
A portal will appear, please players evacuate in time, successful evacuation will lead to a smooth clearance.
Moreover, the fewer surviving players at the time of leaving, the higher the reward for the players who clear the level.
It is worth noting that among the players, there are two ghosts disguised as players, whose goal is to kill other players.
Please be cautious of them.
?Map Introduction?: A night parade of a hundred ghosts, hard to differentiate humans from ghosts, the one beside you may be the dearest.
Chen Yi sat on a bus, tilting his head to scan the scenery whizzing by outside, a few glances at the map content and he understood what kind of gameplay this map was.
This is the return map for him and Jiaye.
Unlike other players.
They have an additional condition to clear.
They need to kill 10 players.
The two of them are the ghosts hinted at in the map content.
They appeared on this bus upon entering the map, and at this moment there were twenty other players in the bus, the other players for this map.
"Yi."
Sitting next to Chen Yi, Jiaye cautiously glanced at him, "What should we do?"
Chen Yi shook his head without saying a word, just signaling her to wait patiently.
The return mission was indeed not simple.
There were only twenty players total here, meaning he and Jiaye must each kill ten to successfully return.
They also had to ensure not one of these twenty players died.
If even one died.
One of them would fail the return mission.
"Chen... Chen Yi?"
At this point, players in the bus had recognized Chen Yi.
Although Chen Yi's title protruded through the bus roof, they still recognized this player with the biggest reputation currently on Blue Star.
Chen Yi.
One Man Exterminates a Clan!
His fame could not be ignored!
```
And the girl next to Chen Yi, wasn't she the one being pursued for assassination by the God Race?
Upon recognizing Chen Yi, the remaining 20 players can be said to have instantly huddled together, gathering in a group, watching Chen Yi with faces full of vigilance.
The content on the map made it clear.
When leaving the map, the fewer surviving players there are, the greater the rewards for the remaining players after clearing the map.
If this were any other map and they had encountered Chen Yi, that naturally would have been a fortunate event, as they could have been carried by a "big leg," but in this map, it was far from fortunate.
Chen Yi was most likely going to kill them all and then monopolize a large number of rewards.
"Chen Yi."
A man with a full beard, standing inside the bus holding onto a handrail, watched Chen Yi with eyes full of vigilance and malice, word by word.
"Brother, we all know you're very strong."
"But I think that to use your 'Manifold Otherworld Flowers,' you must pay a significant price, right? Such a powerful Skill, it could even be a one-time thing, couldn't it?"
"Can you still use it now?"
"Of course, we don't mean to provoke you. After all, even without the 'Manifold Otherworld Flowers,' we are clear that we're no match for you."
"We're just hoping that in this map, can you spare us a path to live."
"Don't be utterly ruthless?"
"You're already so powerful, taking fewer rewards shouldn't be an issue for you, right? There's no need to bury us all here just for a bit more reward, right?"
"This is a C-level map. Since we dared to enter a C-level map, it's not like we don't have some tricks up our sleeves. If you really corner us, it won't end well for you either."
"What do you say, Yi?"
The other players also stood unanimously behind the bearded man, watching Chen Yi with vigilance.
Clearly, everyone was a bit worried that Chen Yi might suddenly lash out.
Chen Yi didn't speak, just pulled Jiaye into his arms, turned his head to look out the window, and remained silent.
Without lust.
Just worried that these people, in a moment of impulse, might suddenly attack Jiaye.
This city... he seemed to have been here before.
The bus soon stopped.
It stopped in front of the city library, and that was when everyone reacted to the fact that the bus actually had no driver—it was self-driving for the entire journey.
And on the map.
Inside a room on the minus first floor of the city library, a shining question mark icon was flickering incessantly.
Without thinking, it was obvious that this icon represented a timed bomb.
...
Just as everyone had just entered the basement, ready to activate the bomb,
"Bang bang bang!"
Several unexpected gunshots suddenly rang out.
Ten players died instantly, falling into a pool of blood motionless.
The remaining ten players had their limbs broken and lay on the ground, screaming in pain.
Well-prepared, Jiaye charged up wielding a big knife.
One knife for each.
The two had successfully completed their return mission.
What they needed to do next was to activate the bomb and then hold out for an hour.
With Chen Yi's current strength, accomplishing this task was incredibly easy. There was absolutely no need to kill his spouse to obtain a no-cooldown buff.
Chen Yi glanced at the bodies beside him, did not speak, but activated the timed bomb.
Sword Without End hadn't mentioned that during the last return, he had stayed in the map for several days, had he? It didn't seem like it was supposed to be difficult.
After the bomb was activated.
Numerous monsters started attacking from the ground, the roof, the walls surrounding them, similar to spiders but covered with a viscous liquid, looking disgusting and fierce.
However, they could not get within three meters of Chen Yi.
Bullets flew everywhere in the air.
Even without Chen Yi making any shooting motions, these monsters died from unknown attacks.
A B-level Prop, the Snow Eagle Sniper Rifle's Enhancement Effect, when propped up with a Firearms class weapon.
He only needed to fire at the ground, and the bullets would shoot out from beneath the enemy's feet.
Although each shot consumed some Points,
Chen Yi currently had a total of nearly 600,000 Points in his account; he really wasn't short of this slight drizzle.
Jiaye sat behind Chen Yi, looking dazedly at the silhouette of Chen Yi propped up with his cane inside the room, a bit infatuated.
Chen Yi, however, didn't speak, standing silently in the room, lost in thought.
He had been off all day today.
He had a dream last night.
That dream disrupted his mental state all day, his thoughts flitting about chaotically.
He rarely dreamt, whereas Tuberculosis Rabbit had dreams every day, but his dreams occurred very infrequently.
Last night, he dreamed that he had died.
His neck had been slashed with a deep cut by a dagger, his breathing was difficult, and he was acutely aware that his life was down to its last few seconds.
The pain was distinct.
He even felt that his head was close to becoming detached from his body.
In the dream.
Jiaye stood aside, dressed maturely, looking at him with a smile in her eyes, appearing very pleased.
He forgot the rest of the plot.
After waking up, people tend to forget the content of their dreams, only this detail was vivid in his mind.
Although he knew dreams had no connection to reality,
But... abruptly dreaming of such a scene made him wonder if his subconscious was hinting something to him or giving him some kind of signal.
After standing silently in the middle of the room for a while with his cane, Chen Yi finally turned to look at Jiaye behind him, stretched out his hand to caress her cheek, then slowly slid it down to Jiaye's pristine neck.
It lingered there and did not continue downward.
"Yi..."
Jiaye involuntarily tightened her legs a little, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, her cheeks reddening slightly as she looked up at Chen Yi and whispered, her eyes somewhat teary, begging to be devoured in a single bite.
Chen Yi stared at the pale neck, then after a while, he finally asked, "Did it hurt you that day?"
"A little..."
Jiaye instinctively whispered back in a soft voice, but, fearing Chen Yi might misunderstand, quickly added, "But the sensation was gone quickly; it only hurt for a moment."
"Hmm."
Chen Yi nodded, then tilted his head and suddenly popped a very strange question.
"Under what circumstances would you kill me?"
