It was not surprising at all; ignoring the abnormal person would only excite him further. When the time finally ended, there were fewer than fifty players in total. It was clear that the players from Yu City and Gui Jing were not just this few; it seemed they were unable to gather due to the Red Umbrella's efforts to contain the Suffering.
As the time approached its end, Bai stood up and said, "Time's up. We won't wait any longer. To be frank, Gui Jing will fall this time, and anyone not here will die."
The crowd gasped in shock—everyone would die! What were they surprised about? Participating in the Eerie Game meant death was a common occurrence. If it weren't for Ming Di's lack of manpower in Yu City, we wouldn't even need you.
Next, listen carefully and don't pull any tricks; otherwise, you know what will happen. Now, line up according to the locations we designate.
Without knowing how it happened, green boxes appeared on the ground, and Bai instructed everyone to stand inside them. Yun Zhi Yue and her companions had no objections and obediently took their places; they were already a team, so it made sense for them to stand close together.
Just as Yun Zhi Yue was about to step into her designated spot, Bai suddenly pointed to a position in the center and said, "Yun Zhi Yue, you go there."
Yun Zhi Yue raised an eyebrow but said nothing as she walked over. Instantly, players surged around her, vying for positions near her. It was obvious even to a fool that Yun Zhi Yue was also one of Ming Di's people; this was favoritism. While they couldn't take that specific spot, being nearby was undoubtedly safer.
Surrounded quickly by players, Wang Yuan and Wang Jin fought to get closest to her, while Song Huai and Yu Yue remained on the outskirts, seemingly either unresponsive or unwilling to compete.
Once everyone stood in their boxes, Bai took out all the triangular shards submitted by the players and crushed them all at once. The Suffering surged forth, and before it could reach them, everyone felt immense discomfort.
Those with weaker willpower sought relief through self-harm. It was an indescribable feeling—like resentment mixed with love and anger—emotions compressed tightly in their chests. They felt as if they needed to expel that pent-up breath to feel better but found themselves unable to do so.
Red strands of Suffering gathered like fine threads, appearing as if hair stained with blood danced in mid-air. Players standing near Bai suddenly found their dark green boxes glowing beneath their feet, restricting all movement.
In an instant, red threads pierced through three players; crimson flowed along the strands as they consumed blood. The players cried out in alarm; when they tried to act, they discovered their dark green boxes had lit up as well.
The Eerie Game detected illegal confinement and was in the process of lifting it. It began searching for violations; players could report themselves for rewards in Eerie Coins.
The players rejoiced and immediately began reporting frantically. Bai wore a mocking expression as he realized Bai Miao Miao was actually the Golden Orb of Jie Nu. He summoned it forth, releasing golden sand that shimmered beautifully in the air.
Yun Zhi Yue squinted, realizing that it was Qi Yun. This meant they had already killed multiple humans from Qi Yun. There was only one corner of the world, yet there were still quite a few from Qi Yun.
The Eerie Game had become abnormal, disconnected from Yu City and Gui Jing, and was now restarting. The game announcements were intermittent, fading away, leaving the players in despair. If Ming Di Ren could contend with the Eerie Game, what would happen to them next?
With delicate fingers plucking at the strings like a musician, they stirred Suffering into a red thread.
Yun Zhi Yue's face was filled with curiosity as he moved among the players, giving Bai Si Ren's shoulder a playful pat.
