Chapter 194: The Ones Who Can’t Be Shaken Off (13)
The spectators, who had always only enjoyed watching human life being mercilessly trampled by beasts, suddenly saw a different type of fighter today. The audience, both above and below, became a bit rowdy. Some started to applaud, feeling that today’s performance was very creative. And others—
Looked toward the last row from under their masks, silently waiting for the attitude of the person who was hosting this “performance.” Would they simply present a program according to the old rules, or would they give them some new entertainment?
Countless playing card masks looked over, making Wei Shang, who had diverted her interest to other things, look over with a bad mood. Especially when she saw the dog’s head that Su Mingxiu was stepping on, her expression became even more unpleasant.
After a moment, she released the hand that had been restraining Rong Rong and also stood up from her seat. She looked down at the person who was, rather than in an octagonal cage, more like she was locked in a dog cage, “Although I’ve seen this kind of lingering and desperate struggle many times, this time, since everyone has a bit of expectation for you, you can try to make a condition.”
After a pause, Wei Shang curled her lips slightly under her mask, “If I’m in a good mood, maybe I’ll agree to it.”
Grumble.
Standing right next to her, Rong Rong, who had been trying to find an opportunity to escape because she was extremely unwilling, could feel the extremely bad aura emanating from her body.
If she hadn’t been sure that the chains on the necks of the dogs next to her were securely fastened, she would have suspected that she would be reduced to the food of these beasts in the next second.
And because of this, Rong Rong had the time to look at the person who was trapped in the cage again. Although she wasn’t sure what kind of abilities Su Mingxiu, the game bug, had,
But thinking about how she had encountered the other person in so many different places, Rong Rong was sure that this person definitely had the ability to leave the current situation unscathed.
But…
Why wasn’t Su Mingxiu leaving?
With the mask blocking her face, she didn’t hide her expression at this moment. She was watching the direction of the octagonal cage with some worry. Even Rong Rong herself didn’t realize that, at this moment, her expression, in addition to a hint of indescribable expectation, was also carrying a trace of fear.
It was at this time that Su Mingxiu’s unique and very recognizable voice entered her ears, “If I can survive here today, how about you give me the person next to you?”
Rong Rong stopped breathing.
The person next to her suddenly raised her hand and placed it on her shoulder. She leaned in and said to her, “Since you’re not planning on running, then you should watch this performance properly.” Then, without thinking, she smiled even more exaggeratedly toward the cage, “Okay, if you have the ability to survive, then I’ll give her to you.”
The situation, which had already seemed like a love triangle, became even more confusing after Wei Shang’s answer. It made what was a simple emotional line between them become unpredictable.
Rong Rong tried her best not to think about the reason for Su Mingxiu’s sudden performance. She only realized that with Wei Shang’s dangerous personality that couldn’t be tolerated by the world of daylight, the later she left, the more danger she would encounter.
While taking advantage of the fact that that situation had been interrupted, she sat down again. Even though Wei Shang’s arm was around hers, her hands were placed directly on her knees. She controlled the trembling of her voice and said softly, “If she really wins, are you really planning on giving me to her?”
“Are you angry?” Wei Shang’s mask came closer to her, her voice still affectionate, as if she hadn’t made that agreement with a stranger to give away the person next to her, “I’ll tell you quietly, you’re very important to me. Even if she wins, I won’t give you to her. Does that make you happy now?”
It didn’t make her happier at all.
A large red “X” appeared in Rong Rong’s heart. But she didn’t show it. She only turned her head, looking at the person who was making intimate gestures next to her through the two small holes in her mask. The person was more cold-blooded than anyone else.
If Tang Yiyi’s feelings for her were like that of a person for a porcelain doll in a shop window, she would spend the most money to dress her up and change her clothes.
But if she found out that this doll had developed her own thoughts one day and disobeyed her, she would easily take back her previous effort and lightly abandon this doll, and get a new obedient one—
Then Wei Shang, Po Er, and Rong Si, were an even more extreme type than that. For Po Er, Rong Rong could only be her one and only muse. If her gaze landed on someone else and no longer looked at her, then she would destroy what she couldn’t have.
For Rong Si, she was the light. As for Wei Shang…
This kind of overlooking gaze was even more obvious.
The meaning of Rong Rong for her wasn’t even as much as the dogs that she spent her days with. If she couldn’t give her enough novelty to make her happy, this dangerous woman would quickly dispose of her like trash.
Thinking about it this way, defining these people as “girlfriends” was also a humiliation of true feelings in this game.
Which one of these people was worthy of being associated with love?
They were all just beasts that were wearing a “love” mask and ate people unscrupulously.
“I’m thinking too much,” Rong Rong continued, maintaining her usual persona, “Your answer just now made me a bit dissatisfied, which is why I’m in a bad mood now and don’t want to play with you anymore.”
Every time she said a sentence, the aura under Wei Shang’s King mask became more and more dangerous. The dogs, who had been restless next to her, and who wanted to rush over to bite the enemy after their companions in the cage were being beaten one by one, were now trying their best to suppress the urge to paw the ground and were lying down quietly.
Wei Shang replied to her with an ambiguous tone, “If you’re angry and want me to coax you, Rong Rong can say it more clearly. If you lose your patience with me so easily, then I’ll be very hurt too.”
“Can you answer one question for me?”
Rong Rong didn’t follow her rhythm. Instead, she started a new topic, “What am I to you?”
Wei Shang: “?”
She was already on the verge of anger and thought that Rong Rong really had some messy entanglement with the person in the cage.
But now, when she heard the other person ask this, an idea suddenly popped into her mind—was she having a tantrum with her?
After all, she had just agreed to give her to someone else.
So she softened her voice and said to Rong Rong in a coaxing tone, “Of course you’re very important to me, Rong Rong. I haven’t even asked you what your relationship with that person is. Why are you getting angry at me first?”
Since she had gotten her answer, Su Mingxiu hadn’t looked at the audience seats again.
Although these vicious dogs couldn’t pose much of a threat to her, in a particularly extreme situation, she could always change her identity and leave. But since she had chosen to stay, she would naturally do her best.
The octagonal cage was filled with a thick, bloody smell, which made the remaining dogs even more manic. They didn’t care whether the source of this smell was a human or one of their own. Under the influence of hunger and blood, everything that emitted a smell was just food.
As long as they were alive, and as long as they still felt hungry, they had to try their best to get a piece of meat with their teeth.
The blood was flowing out of the cage. The madness, despair, and irrational anger inside ignited the passion of the spectators. Su Mingxiu only had the iron chain that was connected to the dog collars in her hand, and even one side was restricted, which made the already tattered clothes on her body even more worn.
The octagonal cage had been specially modified, making it impossible for people to leave it easily. Su Mingxiu was locked inside, surrounded by blood and sin. She couldn’t hear the words from the outside.
At the same time.
Rong Rong’s answer rang out, “I don’t have any relationship with her. I just thought she looked familiar—but you, Shan Shang, your answer wasn’t specific. What am I to you? A toy? A pet? Or something else?”
“How can you say that about yourself?” Wei Shang raised her hand again to hug her waist. She didn’t know what kind of nausea Rong Rong felt as she was so close to her, with the smell of iron permeating the air, “Even if you’re a toy, you’re my favorite one.”
Oh?
At this time, Rong Rong, taking advantage of the cover of the mask, felt that after her values had been shaken and damaged, the tall building that she had rebuilt was also distorted. “System, did you hear that?”
[I’m just her toy. We’re not even a couple, so naturally we can’t talk about breaking up. According to this theory, I should be considered to have broken up with her, right?]
After all, if a relationship didn’t exist, there was no way to sever it.
The system didn’t expect her to be using such a bizarre way to exploit the breakup bug. It was silent for a while, “…”
And Rong Rong had even taken the lead to set the tone, “Is that so? I really like this answer. I thought you were going to give me some vulgar answer like ‘I’m your girlfriend’.”
Wei Shang replied thoughtfully, “You don’t like being my girlfriend?”
Immediately after, she continued very straightforwardly, “Then you won’t be.”
Rong Rong pleased her so much, she would do whatever she wanted.
Rong Rong: “System, did you hear that? The other party has also denied this relationship. Can you determine that the breakup is successful?”
If this method could work, then for the remaining Rong Si and Yu Wu, Rong Rong’s “108 Ways to Break Up” would be even easier.
Just as she thought that the system wouldn’t agree, she heard the mechanical voice in her mind suddenly reply:
[Congratulations, player, on your successful breakup with Wei Shang—]
[You’re one step closer to returning to the real world.]
It was also at this time that the last cries in the octagonal cage died down. When the smell of iron had almost dyed the air of the underground second level red, Su Mingxiu’s somewhat hoarse voice, as if she had exhausted all her strength, was transmitted from inside:
“I won. Can we fulfill our promise?”
