I felt that it didn't take long before my clothes were drenched in cold sweat.
For a moment, I wanted to throw the gun to the ground and get out of there. It was like a self-defense function, and I couldn't help it, and I resisted the urge to force myself to endure. This was our last chance.
I threw the pistol back. It's your turn!
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense. Everyone was silent, as if they could even hear the sound of a needle dropping on the ground.
Ah Sang took the pistol and smoothly pressed it against his temple. I've never seen a girl as daring as you. I was wondering what kind of person would have the courage to come to this Nether Limitless and what kind of person they would be. Today, I have gained some insights. What's your name? No matter if you die today or if I die today, I have to let them know whose hands I died to.
My name is Su Su, just an ordinary Spirit Master.
Alright, I'll remember. No matter what the outcome of today's battle is, you and I will always be equally matched heroes.
He pulled the trigger again. This time, there was no sound. My body was covered in cold sweat. I hadn't even been hit by the third shot. If this goes on, I'll be in danger.
He still returned the gun to me and made a gesture of invitation. With a one-third chance, if I'm lucky, I can win. If I'm unlucky, I might lose my life in the next shot.
At this time, Zhang Ziyuan could no longer hold himself back, he rushed forward and said that he had pressed down his spear, and I will replace you in the next shot!
Ah Sang shook his head. No, this is against the rules, betting with me that the girl will be joining them, but I do not approve. If you are afraid of death, you can call a halt at any time, and then you will lose.
I struggled furiously in my heart. It was much more unbearable than facing so many monsters and ghosts. Even though it was the same danger, at this moment, there was a deep sense of fear. Perhaps after this spear attack, I would really have to bid farewell to the world and the person I love.
I turned to the other three. If you're really dead after this shot, you'll have to find a way to get out of here.
Then, he released Zhang Ziyuan's hand and quickly pulled the trigger towards his temple.
Everyone's heart was in their throats, including myself. This was a feeling anyone who had never experienced before could experience. I swear, I don't want to experience it again, a second time.
After three seconds of silence, there was still no sound. My mind was completely blank. I know, I'm not dead...
I opened my eyes and closed them tightly. A smile appeared on my face. "Boss, it's your turn …"
Here's the fifth shot, and I bet Assan will shoot himself in the next shot and end his own life. After all, I don't believe that his luck is so good with a 50% chance of success. The bullet is really in the sixth slot.
Asan's hand trembled as he touched the gun, his face turning pale. He knew that the chances of him being killed in the next second was very high. Even though he was once a fugitive, even though he had once gone under the sea of fire, when faced with such a straightforward threat, who would not be afraid of death?
His hands trembled as he raised the gun, but instead of aiming it at his head, he swung it from side to side.
This was indeed a gamble that determined life and death. Moreover, this was a rule that he had set himself, so he could only obey it.
I thought he had Parkinson's. Just as he wanted to mock him, he suddenly put down the gun in his hand.
I admit defeat... You are, indeed, more courageous than I thought, and I am convinced of my defeat.
A wry smile appeared on his face. I know that it isn't easy for a character like him to admit defeat.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief. I suddenly felt that it was really good. There was almost nothing that was impossible, and what humans lacked was always self-confidence and courage.
Thank you very much. In that case, you're willing to let me pass?
Sit down and talk. Not only will I let you pass, I'll help you get what you want.
This happiness came too quickly. The notorious head of the underworld who was rude to us a moment ago, how did she suddenly become our ally in the next second? That puzzled me.
You don't need to doubt me, I am sincere in my alliance with you. In order to express our sincerity, I will first find a doctor to treat your friend's injuries. He seemed to have already been severely injured, and his condition is very bad.
As he said this, he called in a doctor. He wore a white coat and gold-framed glasses. Why would there be a doctor in a place like this? Wasn't this place filled with vicious people?
You can rest assured that this doctor and I are best friends. He was sentenced to death by a court because of a medical accident. After his death, his vengeful spirit would never disperse, so he came here to be taken in by me. His medical skills are superb, don't worry.
After hearing what he said, I sighed in my heart. It turned out that those who were forced to flee here were not all extremely vicious people. There were also some who suffered injustice and were unable to wash away their grievances.
Hello, just call me the Ghost Doctor.
He carried Li and Yue to a bed and carefully treated her. Looking at his serious expression, I believed in his sincerity.
However, there were still some questions in his mind, so it was best to ask them clearly.
Don't blame me for being too talkative. I still want to ask you, you are the boss here, why did you offend the upper echelons of your society and help us?
Are you really too paranoid? Didn't you tell me the reason earlier? What you said isn't false, it's all from my heart. I don't like those idiots who call themselves society for a long time, what is the difference between me and them? He had to do it based on their expressions! The reason why I am insisting on finishing these three rounds is to test if you have the qualifications to cooperate with me!
Alright, this method of probing is really too dangerous for you. You might even die if you don't know who we are.
Only a person who doesn't care about life and death, who can put himself out of his sight, is a true hero that I admit to being. What made me ashamed was that I was the one who gave up first. I didn't expect that the person who I admired so much today would be a girl.
He said it so sincerely that it didn't seem fake at all. It seemed that he could still believe it.
If that's the case, then tell me, how are we going to cooperate? What do we have to agree on before you can help me get what I want?
Actually, the cooperation between us is very simple. I can first introduce you to the noble areas in the Netherworld Valley. In fact, I did not understand why there was such a huge difference between me and those nobles at the beginning. After interacting with them a few times, I finally understood that they relied on the treasures in their hands to be at the top of the Netherworld Valley's food chain.
Treasure? Are you talking about the seven-step lotus flower? Actually, I also had this kind of guess. Ever since I knew that the entire Netherworld Valley was divided into three levels, I have always wondered what they used to do this level with.
What kind of method had he used to suppress the people from the other districts when occupying the nobles?
That's right, the one they rely on the most is the seven-step lotus flower that is worthless in my eyes. This lotus flower can release its power. People in the upper class use the power of the lotus flower to suppress us.
If we want to obtain that lotus flower, we will have to clash with those people?
That's right, you're quite smart. This is also the reason why I kept stopping the passersby who want to pass by me. Furthermore, I wanted to have three matches with them. I want to choose from among them, the most outstanding people will work together with me, and in the end, all of those upper class scum will be killed in one fell swoop, and the person who works with me will be given to me with both hands, as a congratulatory gift for our cooperation. This way, we'll each take what we need.
So that's how it is. This explains why we were stopped in the city even though we were trying to obtain someone else's treasure.
I nodded. "Alright, we'll each take what we need. After we finish, we just need to obtain the Lotus Walk and safely escape from here. The rest is all yours."
He seemed to have been waiting for this day for a long time. Not to mention that very few people had come here, even if they had come here before, they wouldn't be able to cooperate with him, so our arrival gave him great hope.
This is the scout I sent out, a map of the entire Aristocratic District. This place isn't really big, and there aren't many people here, all of them are from Amaryllis sanguinarum Maxim s, and they are tightly guarding the palace they live in. We cannot barge in at all, otherwise, the world will be destroyed.
Then what method is there for me to enter? Listening to you, the seven-step lotus flower are placed in the palace that they live in?
Right, so our priority right now is to get into this palace and find out the exact location of the lotus flower. Once he is brought out of the aristocratic district, everyone will lose the protection of his protection and become vulnerable.
It is precisely because you have a deep imprint of a commoner that you are unable to enter, right? So you need a few collaborators to enter and help you coordinate with each other?
That's right, in fact, the Tianhua Palace already has a spy, but unfortunately, its only function is to send messages. If he really wanted to take action, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to shoulder this responsibility.
If you go in, I'll arrange everything for you. When the time comes, you can contact my spies and then discuss how to act.
Fine, I'll believe you this once. You send us in, and we'll take responsibility for the rest.
We quickly came to a consensus. Since we have the same interests, working together with the Demons is something that we do not care about. Moreover, this boss of a gang doesn't seem to be an evil person that cannot be forgiven.
After all, he wanted to be the boss of the Netherworld Valley.
We plotted all night, not missing a single detail.
Leave your friend here. Don't worry, I won't do anything to him. I will only keep him here to recuperate. That was his last promise to us before we left.
