He hadn't expected Su Yu to be so... straightforward.He flushed crimson, speechless for a long time. He felt a blush of shame creeping up his cheeks, wishing he could simply disappear into the ground....Li Ya showed a look of astonishment. She first glanced at her own hand in disbelief, then looked at Ning Shu with an emotionless expression and said, “... You've been guarding against me all along”
Ning Shu kept a distance from her. Although he was kind-natured in reality, he preferred to be alone.
While it's easy to trust people, the circumstances and environment matter.
He pursed his lips and said to Li Ya, "I want to believe you, but your story has a lot of holes."
Li Ya stared at him intently, then said expressionlessly, "Is that so Actually, I found out about you from the beginning. I discovered your identity as a player through the props. So I've been observing you secretly all along. Ning Shu, you're lucky because your identity was based on luck from the start. You're a top student, better than many of our players' identities."
Ning Shu, however, looked at her and said: "Do you really think so Li Ya, although I am a top student, it also means that some people will be jealous of me. And do you know if they would rather I was an outsider behind my back"
Li Ya looked at his handsome face, which was unusually calm. She couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
To be honest, she always felt that Ning Shu seemed a bit cold. But Li Ya has always been good at seeing people. Under her cold exterior, there was actually a soft heart, even a little gentle.
She had seen him helping a black-haired boy.
Although Li Ya suspected the other person was a player, she still tried to get closer. But the first time she approached him, her eyes narrowed, and she had a gut feeling that the young man was incredibly dangerous.
Li Ya has already cleared ten copies, much of which is due to her good intuition.
She didn't know why she had such a dangerous intuition about the black-haired boy.
When their gaze met, Li Ya's whole body screamed in panic to get away from the young man. So she turned and ran, running far enough that she couldn't shake off the soul-deep fear.
So Li Ya, both frightened and apprehensive, used Ning Shu to probe the situation.
If the other party is truly a player, are their goals the same as their own
Li Ya hesitated. If the other party had the same goal as her, would she have to give up
Li Ya also thought about not approaching Ning Shu, but she had no other choice. She looked at the person opposite her and said, "I'm curious, where did I reveal my flaw I've been observing you all along, Ning Shu. You're playing this role and haven't even contacted other players, how do you know what I say isn't true"
Ning Shu watched the girl opposite him, he gently shook his head and said, "Because, you forgot. In the face of survival, people are the most selfish."
He continued, “You’re missing a big point here. The system clearly stated at the beginning that player identities could be replaced. But you're saying that players can only replace identities with another player's consent. But everyone wants to live, and whether it’s through coercion or temptation, they wouldn’t hand over their life choices to someone else...”
"That's why I don't believe you...."
Li Ya listened and had to admire Ning Shu's attentiveness. If she met someone like this in real life, she would probably appreciate them very much, but... She stared at the person opposite her, the madness in her eyes slowly emerging. "I really can't judge people by their appearance," she said, "thinking you were gentle and kind, I overlooked other things...."
She tilted her head slightly, watching as the night fell and the classroom lights swayed.
The dark student figure had disappeared at some point, leaving behind an empty classroom.
Li Ya gasped, a bead of cold sweat forming on her forehead. She raised her face and looked at Ning Shu: "So that's how it is. I thought I was being perfect."
Ning Shu didn't speak, he also noticed the problems at school, why those students disappeared.
He turned his head, continuing to look at Li Ya: "What do you mean by those students will change"
Li Yada said: "I'm not really sure, but I know the last day definitely wouldn't be easy. We only have five players left, and those students seem to know that the alien things weren't all cleared out..."
She gently bit her lip, her eyes a little vacant, and said, "Do you remember the girl who used to be with me"
Ning Shu nodded.
Li Ya gave a wry smile and touched her face, saying: "My identity setting is that I have a very good friend. Her name is Yiyi. She is one of many students, so you understand, even if I act well, she still suspects me."
"Sometimes ...when I wake up in the middle of the night, I can find her sitting by my bed, and she stares at me with those eyes..."
Li Ya's voice trembled with a hint of fear as she said, "Do you understand what that feels like"
Ning Shu paused, putting herself in Li Ya's position. To have to act every single day. Furthermore, there was someone always watching her, even when she slept.
Even a normal person could potentially have a mental breakdown.
Li Ya took a deep breath and said, "She suspects I'm a monster, but she has no evidence. She can only watch me day by day, constantly looking for flaws in me...."
"My identity has to wake up at 5:30 every day on time. She might have discovered one day that I was overtime by a minute. Since that day, she has woken up half an hour earlier than me every day... to see if I wake up on time...."
Her eyes were a little wild, as if she had been driven to madness by the events of recent times.
Ning Shu was silent.
Li Ya tightened her hands, she continued, "I know I just have to hold on for two more days, and I can pass this level... I can escape from these terrible days, these days that are worse than death...."
But....
Li Ya lifted her face, and she smiled a little strangely: "I didn't expect that she had already thought of me as a monster, that she had already discovered my player identity. But she pretended not to have found out anything, you know why..."
Ning Shu didn't answer, he knew it wouldn't be because the other party was reluctant to expose him.
I can't bear to see Li Ya suffer such a tragic fate.
As expected, Li Ya's face remained impassive as she said, "She just wants to watch me struggle, watch me suffer. It's like catching a mouse, slowly torturing me to death."
"I've also thought about killing her, but if I did, my player identity would be exposed..."
So until a player's identity replaced mine, I couldn't kill her....
When Li Ya said these words, she didn't know when she had already walked in front of Ning Shu.
The latter was oblivious.
Or perhaps Li Ya unknowingly used some props from a shopping mall.
She raised her hand and pushed Ning Shu from the teaching building. She saw Ning Shu grabbing onto the net of the teaching building, unwilling to let go. Then she slowly looked down and said, "Who made you so unlucky to be discovered by me as a player, Ning Shu You are the most suitable..."
"The player most suited to replace me..."
Li Ya lowered her head to look at Ning Shu struggling, and said, "I still have family, I still have friends waiting for me to go back...."
She was crying, but her eyes were filled with a mad desire for Ning Shu to die.
Li Ya wanted to pry open Ning Shu's beautiful fingers.
Until a soft voice came from behind her: "Xiao Ya, what are you doing here"
Li Ya's body stiffened.
She turned around and saw YiyI standing behind her at some point. The other party's eyes stared at her without blinking, her face was expressionless, but her tone was concerned as she said: "Xiaoya, what are you doing here Why did you give me a /yao"
The buds of the peach tree burst open.
She saw in the distance, a black-haired boy revealed that face so beautiful it seemed divine. His blue eyes gazed at her, but within them spread an infinity of darkness and evil. He slowly raised his lips into a smirk.
Then, a curve appeared.
Li Ya's scalp was about to explode, her pupils constricting. She came back to her senses and found herself trembling all over.
The black-haired boy walked up at some point, he reached out and pulled Ning Shu into his embrace.
Only then did Li Ya realize that his physique possessed a force that could not be ignored, and he was also much taller than she had initially perceived. Even the thin muscle definition hinted at a power poised to burst forth.
The black-haired boy held Ning Shu in his arms, a hint of pleasure in his eyes. He sighed contentedly, holding the person close.
He rested his head on top of a person's body, those blue eyes looking straight at Li Ya. The voice that came from his mouth was very pleasant and held a hint of helplessness.
"Darling, I told you a long time ago, don't trust anyone easily."
His lips curved into a warning to his uncooperative lover: "See, if I hadn't come, she would have pushed you in."
Li Ya followed her gaze and found that Ning Shu had lost consciousness at some point.
He was just so held in the arms of the black-haired boy, his head drooping slightly, leaning against the boy's chest.
Li Ya's lips trembled.
She didn't know why a terrifying fear gripped her, one that surpassed any dread she had ever felt in the face of death.
Li Ya saw a mass of students pouring out of the teaching building, they seemed to be looking for something. But figures were entangled with each other until Li Ya's face was splashed with liquid.
She touched it and found a corpse had fallen from the top of her head.
"What a feast for the eyes."
The black-haired boy spoke, his blue eyes watching the scene. His expression was like that of a devil playing among mortals, with a smile plastered on his face as a mask.
They look much scarier than the group of students who killed.e.Those dark eyes fixed on him, and he spoke: "When did the Emperor start liking these sour things"Ning Shuxin's heart couldn't help but panic.He clenched his fists, forcing himself to calm down. His...
