Chapter 35

Mirror, atonement, suicide—these words quickly connected in Zhang Cheng's mind.

"Captain Qin, you mean that mirror might hide some terrifying secret, right?"

Qin Meng nodded slightly.

"Although I haven't heard of an object itself becoming a source of terror, the appearance of the 'Divine Ghost Killing Arena' makes everything possible."

"What I am worried about now is that the mirror might continue to induce people to commit suicide."

Zhang Cheng pondered for a moment and asked:

"Was there anything special about the person who died?"

"No, he was just an ordinary person."

Qin Meng touched his chin, recalling, and added another sentence,

"If there was anything, he was a serious criminal who had been on the run for many years."

A serious criminal...

He glanced at the time.

Only one minute remained until the start of the match.

Qin Meng's gaze turned to the position of the Beautiful Nation.

Over there,

representatives from Da Xiong Guo, the Triumphal Empire, Xiao Han Nation, and other countries gathered together, watching Qin Meng with mocking gazes.

Qin Meng sneered:

"Hmph, look at their insidious appearance; they must be up to no good!"

"I really want to go over there and give them each a Big Nose Bag!"

Zhang Cheng waved his hand and said.

"The match is about to start, I'm going on stage first..."

Long Guo's fifth Life-or-Death Duel,

officially kicked off.

In the center of the arena, the figure of the Mysterious Judge appeared again, but this time, he took off his black robe,

changed into a bright red windbreaker, pulled his hat low to cover his entire face, and wore a ferocious mask.

This attire reduced his original sense of mystery but added a bit of intuitive terrifying atmosphere.

"Now, the fifth match begins. Please have the contestants from both sides enter the arena!"

Following the Mysterious Judge's order,

Zhang Cheng stepped onto the "Divine Ghost Killing Arena".

Following closely behind, from the direction of Mao Xiong Guo, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure walked out slowly.

She was tall, her legs tightly wrapped in black silk, and her lines were smooth and symmetrical, looking exceptionally charming.

Under the scorching gaze of the entire audience,

she walked slowly to the center of the arena and extended a hand to Zhang Cheng, her beautiful eyes full of friendliness.

"Hello, I am Suolia. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Zhang Cheng responded with a smile, remaining calm in the face of a beauty, and reached out to shake her hand.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Cheng. Please advise me."

The atmosphere at the scene was harmonious.

Unlike the tension and life-or-death struggles of the previous matches, this scene made the audience feel a bit fresh.

Especially Mao Xiong Guo and Long Guo, because their seats were adjacent,

many audience members simply picked up peanuts and beer, chatting and laughing, as if old friends were reuniting.

"Baka, isn't the Long Guo contestant known for being ruthless?"

"How come he becomes so humble and polite when he meets the Mao Xiong Guo contestant?"

"Could it be that our Xiao Han Nation is not qualified?" The person in charge, Pu Linyuan, felt extremely displeased in his heart.

The other leaders glanced at him with the eyes one would use to look at a Da Sha Chun.

It seems,

this newly appointed leader of Xiao Han Nation is not very smart either.

Your Xiao Han Nation launched a terrorist attack on Long Guo and clamored on the arena to eliminate the other side; who would give you a good look!

"What I'm worried about is whether Mao Xiong Guo will use their full strength in this match," Meng Lingchuanxi said worriedly.

Charlie, standing to the side with his arms folded, looked gloomy, "Rest assured, they will."

After speaking,

Charlie pulled a card flashing with golden light from his pocket and then announced loudly,

"We, the Beautiful Nation, have decided to use a Reward Card for this match!"

His voice was loud, and with the help of a special amplifier, it echoed in the ears of every audience member.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

Reward Card!

Effect: After use, one will randomly draw a reward, and regardless of the outcome of the duel, one will receive this random reward.

Of course, the reward is random; it could be money, resources, or an upgrade in the level of a summoned creature...

However, what is puzzling is that the two sides in this battle are Long Guo and Mao Xiong Guo, both of whom are publicly known competitors of the Beautiful Nation.

What is Charlie's intention in doing this?

An impulsive act?

Or has he suddenly awakened and wants to join Long Guo's camp?

The audience was confused, and some audience members from the Beautiful Nation were even scolding Charlie, thinking he was wasting resources.

However, Qin Meng and Zhang Cheng instantly saw through Charlie's scheme!

He is playing a game of sowing discord!

In Charlie's vision,

once the Reward Card is brought out, a life-or-death battle will inevitably be staged between Mao Xiong Guo and Long Guo,

thereby achieving the goal of division.

Even if the reward drawn is extraordinary, all he paid was just a random Reward Card.

Another vicious scheme!

On the arena.

A flash of brilliance appeared in the Mysterious Judge's eyes.

"Oh?"

"A Reward Card. It seems the Beautiful Nation wants to add some spice to this match."

"Since that's the case, let's see what the drawn reward actually is."

The Mysterious Judge flipped his wrist, and the Reward Card in Charlie's hand seemed to have life, instantly flying into his hand.

Subsequently, the Mysterious Judge tossed the Reward Card into the sky, and accompanied by the flashing of dazzling golden light,

a huge turntable slowly appeared in the center of the arena.

The pointer turned leisurely, and various prizes flashed by like a revolving lantern—

100 billion Long Guo Currency, unlimited oil and coal for a year, even one dollar, a dog...

Finally, the pointer gradually slowed down.

Everyone widened their eyes, holding their breath, only to see it slowly stop on a tiny, almost invisible prize area.

The Mysterious Judge hurriedly magnified this area, and only then could everyone see it.

The moment they saw it clearly, the whole audience was shocked.

Especially Charlie, whose face turned livid, and he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"My God! An SSS-level summoned creature!!!"

I don't know who shouted first, instantly detonating the whole audience.

Such an extreme reward made everyone present tremble in their hearts.

An SSS-level summoned creature is a national-level strategic asset.

Possessing one is enough to gain a foothold in the Divine Ghost Killing Arena, and even influence the fate of a country.

And now, such an existence has actually become the stakes of the match!

"I bet a drink that the Beautiful Nation side must have exploded!"

"Giving away an SSS-level creature just like that, the Beautiful Nation is generous, huh? Haha, I'm laughing my head off!"

"Those people in the Beautiful Nation must be regretting it so much right now!"

"Thanks to my top-ranked brother, 666!"

The Long Guo audience, each with a mentality of watching a good show, discussed it one after another.

Charlie heard these mocking words and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Especially when his gaze touched that SSS-level reward, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife!

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Charlie cursed in a series, and if it weren't for the railing blocking him, he would have rushed over directly.

Meng Lingchuanxi, standing to the side, hurriedly comforted him:

"Calm down, calm down. Although we lost an SSS-level creature, this reward is enough to make Long Guo and Mao Xiong Guo turn against each other."

"So, don't be anxious."

"Our goal has already been achieved."

Meng Lingchuanxi looked like he was staying out of it; after all, it wasn't his Reward Card that was lost.

"Damn it, if I had known there was an SSS-level creature, I would have changed it!"

Charlie breathed heavily, trying his best to suppress the anger in his chest.

"Forget it, it's all up to luck; even if it were our turn, we might not have drawn it."

"Being able to turn Long Guo and Mao Xiong Guo from friends into opponents, the goal can be considered achieved!"

He could only persuade himself this way.

Meng Lingchuanxi and the representatives of other countries nodded one after another, echoing: "Yes, yes, yes, thinking this way is the right approach."

At this time, the audience of Long Guo and Mao Xiong Guo fell into quiet silence.

They exchanged glances, feeling somewhat at a loss for a moment.

In an instant, everyone's heart was in their throat; an SSS-level creature as a reward was simply too tempting!

On the stage, Zhang Cheng felt everyone's gaze and shook his head gently.

With him around, Long Guo doesn't have to worry about summoned creature resources.

On the contrary, Mao Xiong Guo is in urgent need of this thing.

So,

it's just an SSS-level creature, right?

Regardless of the outcome, let's treat it as a gift to Mao Xiong Guo.

There have been precedents of giving up rewards in the past.

There is no need to damage the harmony between the two countries because of this.

Zhang Cheng was just about to speak,

"I..."

Unexpectedly, before the words left his mouth, Suolia beside him had already raised her hand high.

She smiled and said firmly to the Long Guo audience:

"I, Suolia, solemnly declare in the name of Mao Xiong Guo!

In this match, regardless of victory or defeat, the reward of the SSS-level creature will all belong to Long Guo!

My decision is not only a manifestation of national will,

but also carries the expectations and beliefs of our two peoples for the longevity of our friendship.

A mere SSS-level creature can never shake the foundation of the friendship between our two countries!"

Suolia's words were like spring breeze and rain, instantly dispelling the tense atmosphere at the scene.

Everyone's face showed an expression of shock mixed with admiration.

At this moment, it transcended national borders, transcended interests,
