Chapter 1963: Rewind and Love You Again 39

Ling Gun Gun came online:

【Welcome new players to the game: Eternal Noonless Darkness!】

Its magnificent aura frightened the people below, leaving them stunned one after another.

Jin Chen: "……"

He silently flicked Ling Gun Gun's forehead.

Immediately, the liquid light beams filling the entire Judgment Hall suddenly solidified into countless fine threads that enveloped the research team of dozens, and additionally trapped the Protagonist Chen in an existential crisis.

Within the Silk Thread Space, darkness surged like a tide, swallowing all light, and the research team's screams echoed in the void.

"This is a nightmare meticulously designed for you."

Jin Chen chuckled and snapped his fingers.

A huge virtual screen appeared, projecting the scene inside the Silk Thread Space to the players.

Countless pairs of scarlet eyes opened in the shadows, chasing and biting the "new players," while the ground crawled with unknown writhing creatures.

Jin Chen said to the players in the hall—no, the survivors: "You've worked hard to get here; sit down and watch the show."

Everyone was overjoyed.

The big boss is indeed still the big boss!

If only there were melon seeds, watermelon, and bottled water here.

Cheng Chuan pulled Gao Kai to sit cross-legged, "Damn, this is awesome!"

As for the two still-stiff lackeys, Cheng Chuan petty shifted his seat to isolate them.

Then Yun Zaozao fainted with a pat, collapsing to the ground, while Ruan Fu swayed, her face turning deathly pale.

"What the hell, are you trying to scam us?" Ji Luo jumped, instinctively reaching to steady Yun Zaozao.

——

Ruan Fu clung to her last shred of consciousness, gazing through trembling lashes at Jin Chen on the judgment platform, her lips moving as she uttered a near-whisper.

No one could hear it.

Jin Chen, however, turned his gaze just in time, taking in Ruan Fu's weakened state.

In the next instant, Jin Chen appeared before Ruan Fu, brows slightly furrowed, "What's wrong?"

Ruan Fu felt the familiar presence draw near, her eyelid twitching as she struggled to stay open, dazed, wanting to draw closer, "Main Brain..."

He raised his hand, fingers painfully clutching his hair.

"The Main Brain is so noisy..."

The nearly out-of-control Ruan Fu clutched tightly to Jin Chen's collar, her breath hot, "Jin Chen... the Main Brain wants to control me..."

Jin Chen pulled her into his embrace, his fingers instinctively pressing against the back of her head.

The players all threw onlooker gazes, wanting to see the big boss's private affairs, yet not wanting to miss the killer's demise, feeling for the first time that two eyes weren't enough.

Jin Chen flickered into view, holding Ruan Fu as he appeared on the judgment chair, shielding them from the view below, his eyes growing grave with worry.

I had thought Ruan Fu, rescued from the seabed, had willingly joined the lab, but the dense needle marks at the back of his head revealed something amiss—clearly not the case.

Ruan Fu didn't know what Jin Chen had discovered, instinctively curling in his arms to resist the Main Brain's control over her consciousness.

Fortunately, the death game is now under Jin Chen's control.

Soon, Ruan Fu's link to the Main Brain was completely severed; drenched in sweat, she went limp, her fingers gripping Jin Chen's shoulder turning white and trembling, her forehead resting against his neck.

Jin Chen pinched the back of her neck, his tone ambiguous, "You have nothing to say?"

Ruan Fu's dazed mind returned, fully conscious again, yet she buried herself in his embrace as if escaping.

"Sorry..."

He could only respond weakly and pallidly.

"I didn't know it was you..."

"I thought you were the old selfish, hypocritical Jin Chen."

"I never meant to hurt you."

Jin Chen: "... Oh, is that so."

"I still remember that knife."

Jin Chen scooped Ruan Fu from his embrace, firmly gripping his chin to force him to look at the Silk Thread Space.

The Protagonist Chen, covered in wounds from being chased by monsters, still clung to life, refusing to die.

"How does it feel?" Jin Chen asked.

After a few seconds, Ruan Fu curled her lips into a smile, "Are you helping me get revenge?"

Ruan Fu, unaware of Jin Chen's probe, upon realizing this, her cool brows softened into a gentle, obedient grace as she tilted her head to rub against his palm.

"I'm very happy."

Whether it was the researchers dying one after another, or that person tortured to the brink of death.

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +10, total 80!】

Jin Chen stared at him for a few seconds, let out a soft hum, then shoved him roughly into his embrace.

"Let's go and interrogate you outside."

Ruan Fu clung tightly to his neck, letting out a low hum, wanting to kiss him lingeringly, but ended up just rubbing her lips against his.

【Host Host, Clay Protagonist is about to kick the bucket! Don't forget the settings!】

Jin Chen poked Ruan Fu's back, "Do you want to kill him yourself?"

Ruan Fu paused, picked up the dagger fallen beside the judgment chair, and stepped down the steps one by one.

The Silk Thread Space spat out the Protagonist Chen.

The Protagonist Chen was drenched in monster slime, his nose bruised and face swollen, barely recognizable as human.

The survivors sitting on the ground recoiled in disgust, all letting out a sound of disgust.

Seeing Ruan Fu, the protagonist Chen thought he had finally softened and come to save himself, trembling as he strained to reach out.

"Save..."

Hiss—

A dagger plunged into his chest.

Ruan Fu's hand rose and the knife fell; she still recalled Jin Chen's earlier words about stabbing a few more times, and she drove the blade straight through the protagonist Chen.

Jin Chen exhaled a breath, feeling relieved.

At the same time, Cheng Chuan and the others also felt their hearts inexplicably loosen, as if the tension that had been weighing on them these days finally eased.

【Detected: Blackening Value of villains Cheng Chuan, Gao Kai, and Ji Luo reset to zero!】

【Detected: Ruan Fu's Blackening Value decreased by 20, total now 40!】

【Recovering Divine Soil fragments… Recovery successful! Points +5000!】
