Chapter Thirteen: Separation!

  Chapter Thirteen

  "This death notice is getting harder and harder to understand!"

  Liu Qisong smiled slightly, and under his gold-rimmed glasses, his refined face looked extremely calm, even with a hint of playful teasing.

  "Have you thought of something?"

  Lin Xun slightly furrowed his brow. Liu Qi's sudden change could only be due to two possibilities: either he had gone mad, or he thought he had found a solution!

  Comparing the two, Lin Chen would rather believe the latter wholeheartedly.

  "Yes, there's still about an hour left."

  Liu Qisong took a look at his phone and said, "The devil's mercy!"

  That mysterious incantation, when translated, means "The Devil's Mercy".

  Liu Qisong called out his own time limit, and then said: "We have to try the trial task, with a total of six hours of time limit, and our lives, from waking up, are only twelve hours."

  "Comparing the time limit, subtracting the 15 minutes that were prepared, there are still about two hours and fifty-seven minutes left until the task is completed, which is enough for everyone to experience this death design once."

  Lin Xun picked up a few wooden chairs, and at the same time closed the eyes of Yang Dehui and Chen Lihao. He sat down on a nearby stool, with Chen Li following suit.

  Liu Qisong pulled over a chair and spoke eloquently in the messy hospital room, in front of the bodies of his two companions.

  "If we're remembering correctly, this mission's prefix is Trial Mission, right?"

  Lin Chen and Chen Li nodded, seemingly deep in thought.

  "I've also heard something about infinite flow."

  Liu Qisong pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and glanced at the two corpses, Yang Dehui's eyes flashing with an inexplicable light.

  "Is it likely that the main deity in this broad sense chose us, these beings similar to reincarnators and contractors, just to torment us?"

  Chen Li nodded as if in a trance, while Lin Chen's eyes gleamed with excitement as he continued to speak, his right hand gripping the scalpel tightly and beginning to apply pressure unconsciously.

  Chapter 9

  "I think Chen Lihao is right, maybe it's just to force us to evolve. This evolution is also in a broad sense, as long as we meet its requirements, we can be considered evolved!"

  "The devil needs us to 'evolve' in order to achieve a certain purpose. Survival of the fittest, this is where the word originated from, those who are not suitable or do not meet its requirements will be eliminated, which means their death!"

  "So, the question is, how to evolve?"

  Chen Li and Lin Chen were both deep in thought, but they didn't have many leads, just a couple of guesses.

  "Could it be..."

  Lin Chen's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of understanding, and he looked at Liu Qisong. The other nodded, and in a heavy tone said:

  "Perhaps we've been misled from the start, thinking that there's safety in numbers and that more people means greater security."

  "But perhaps the devil's purpose is to use danger to force us to evolve? If we huddle together, aren't we just seeking our own demise?"

  "When you have companions, when you have the hope of being rescued, who would exhaust themselves at all costs? Without true despair, without truly being in a hopeless situation, people can never imagine how much potential they have!"

  "You mean, break up?"

  Chen Li felt a bit incredulous. Although Liu Qisong's analysis sounded reasonable, the danger was too great, almost as if he was experimenting with his own life!

  "Heh heh, don't forget, if we can't complete the trial task, we'll still be dead in three hours. I'd rather use those last two hours to take a gamble."

  Under Liu Qisong's calm gaze, there was a hint of madness that was difficult to detect!

  ……

  "Are we really going to part with him?"

  Chen Li looked at Liu Qisong's back as he left and asked hesitantly.

  "Let's quietly follow them later..."

  Lin Xun glanced at the time, there were still ten minutes until Liu Qisong's scheduled death!

  "Why don't we just unite together?"

  Things that require thinking, Chen Li thought he couldn't compare with Lin Chen, so he didn't bother to think hard either. Whatever doubts he had, he just asked directly.

  "He needs to be completely on his own in desperate situations, we just follow and observe the situation, not protect him, even if he dies... it has nothing to do with us."

  Lin's cold and almost ruthless words made Chen Li's heart feel a chill, and the gaze he directed at him was not without an added hint of wariness.

  "This is his own choice, all we can do is pray..."

  Lin Xun let out a soft sigh, put away his own scalpel, walked to Yang Dehui's corpse, and directly pulled out the scalpel from his throat!

  "Hiss!"

  Under the flashlight, on Yang Dehui's throat, in that small wound, there was frozen blood!

  This scalpel seems to have been infused with some kind of eerie power, and when Lin Chen holds it in his hand, he feels a cold aura flowing along his palm, constantly surging into his body!

  Along the way, these cold and gloomy auras seemed to have frozen Lin Dust's vitality, making him seem as if he had been struck by a petrification technique, unable to move even an inch!

  The breath on the scalpel spread instantly throughout Lin Chen's limbs and reached his brain!

  Just as Lin Xun's heart was filled with extreme terror, thinking that his brain would be frozen by this aura, his pupils seemed to have changed somehow...

  In the gaze of the surgical knife, several dark red fine lines appeared, as if scribbled without any rules, short and disordered, giving people a dizzying feeling!

  A seemingly bottomless whirlpool appeared in his eyes, an inexplicable gravitational force attracting the cold air inside his body, and the eerie power emanating from the surgical knife flowed towards Lin Chen's eyes like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

  Lin Chen felt a refreshing coolness in his eyes, as if the previous cold and gloomy atmosphere had changed its nature, making him feel extremely comfortable!

  As this breath entered, the scribbled lines in Lin Chen's line of sight gradually became regular!

  "Ding!"

  The scalpel in his hand made a faint sound, and it suddenly shattered into several pieces. The silver-white metal edge had disappeared, giving people a feeling of decay and collapse!

  It's as if its time has passed and it's naturally been ruined!

  The scribbled lines in Lin Xian's eyes also disappeared!

  If it weren't for the fragments of the surgical knife still in his hand, Lin Chen would have almost thought that what had just happened was an illusion created by ghosts and monsters!

  Chen Li's mind was still on Liu Qisong, and he didn't notice anything unusual about Lin Chen.

  Lin Xuan stood up with a calm expression, but his heart was stirred up like a stormy sea!

  A strange line appeared on the surface of an object...

  As far as he knew, there was only one possibility!

  Instant Death Magic Eye!

  Having gone through death, he completely met the awakening conditions of this Eye Technique!

  (But for now, it's still not entirely certain. And they've all experienced death too, I wonder if they've come to the same realization...)

  Lin Xun didn't say a word, but his brain was racing quickly, however, without any confirmed information, he couldn't find any clues.

  "Hey, he's lost his shadow, are we still chasing?"

  Chen Li pushed Lin Chen slightly, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

  "Come on."

  Lin Xuan seemed a bit distracted, which inevitably added some dissatisfaction to Chen Li's heart towards him.

  Lin Chen and another person quietly followed Liu Qisong's route.

  Lin Xun seemed absent-minded, while Chen Li was thoroughly in a life-or-death struggle, ordinary little ghosts couldn't get close to him, the atmosphere wouldn't be too oppressive. It's just that... there's something subtle...

  As time ticked away, the deadline for Liu Qisong's death drew near. Chen Li couldn't help but glance at the ceiling frequently, taking advantage of the dim light to follow closely behind Liu Qisong without being noticed by him!

  "Hmm..."

  Lin Xun walked forward and suddenly felt that he had run into a mountain of flesh, his body unstable for a moment, retreating several steps before stabilizing.

  "What are you doing?"

  Chen Li asked in a low voice.

  "Sorry, I was distracted..."

  Lin Xun said faintly, Chen Li wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Lin Xun's gesture.

  (I've made another request for recommendations! Unfortunately, the third watch reward was unsuccessful, still seeking to join the bookshelf!)
