Chapter 204: The dead revive! Land of Divine Retinue!

~7 min read 1,294 words

The moment the portal appeared, an envelope floated down.

Su Yang subconsciously reached out to catch it, looking down at the line of words engraved on it—

"Partner Selection Analysis."

"The answer?"

Su Yang opened the envelope with curiosity to check.

Only to see the corresponding partners for each player written on it—

Su Yang—Wang Ning, Jiang Hua, Lin Shuyu, Xu Yutong, Zhao Huaillei.

Huangfu Shu—Zhao Huaillei

Jiang Hua—Xu Yutong

Tang Youning—Zhao Huaillei

Lin Shuyu—Tang Youning

Zhao Huaillei—Tang Youning

Wang Ning—Jiang Hua

Xu Yutong—Su Yang

'Jiang Hua'—Jiang Hua

Seeing this final result, Su Yang was stunned at first, his gaze fixed on the bottom row.

"This is... the answer for the second round?"

Because the partner information changed, the partners he corresponded to also changed.

Lin Shuyu and Zhao Huaillei were also among them.

It's just a pity that the former was chosen in the first round.

The latter chose "Sacrifice" and didn't have the opportunity to be selected.

Of course, choosing more or less was actually irrelevant.

He had already unlocked all the achievements he could unlock.

He also got the key "hidden achievement" in his hands.

Su Yang's point of surprise was that two Jiang Huas actually appeared.

This meant that the rules acknowledged the existence of the dual personality.

And added a game seat for it.

From an eight-person game to nine.

This "precedent" meant that the death game wasn't rigid.

"First there was 'Binding', now there's dual personality, interesting..." Su Yang laughed dumbly; he had already experienced the fun of the death game.

Playing the game at first was just to live.

His mentality changed in the middle; he wanted to escape this cage.

Until now...

The desire for freedom wasn't strong; he wanted to play the role of a "player" better.

Accepting various challenges, meeting moves with moves.

Enjoying the game.

"Rip!"

Su Yang tore the letter into pieces and threw it away casually.

Immediately, he pulled open the door and walked in with his legs.

The fragments danced, facing the wind and rain, burning spontaneously out of thin air.

Not long after Su Yang left, a giant bull head appeared at the entrance of the Final Land.

Accompanied by heavy footsteps, the massive body gradually revealed itself.

Only to see it holding five giant chains in its right hand, each binding a headless corpse.

Dragging the corpses, it walked in the opposite direction of the portal, its scarlet eyes filled with coldness.

"Clatter—"

Blood and rain merged together, painting an eerie picture.

Soon, the Minotaur walked into the covered bridge, dropped the iron chains, and knelt on the ground suddenly.

"Game over, bring back the players, ID 065."

"Please God... open the door."

The next moment, the world in front of it was torn apart like a canvas, and a dazzling blood-red light shot out.

Only to see the covered bridge was one side of the picturesque rainy scenery.

The other side was a blood-red space filled with evil colors.

Jars filled with yellow-green liquid were displayed here.

The Minotaur picked up the iron chains again and walked toward the nearest empty jar.

The three-meter-tall body was level with the top of the jar; it twisted the lid open with force and pulled out a tube from inside.

It inserted the tube into the corpse's abdomen and then threw it in.

"Plop!"

The corpse was immersed in the jar, the Minotaur screwed the lid back on, and then dragged the remaining corpses toward another empty jar.

Similar things were staged in every corner.

Densely packed Minotaurs were like worker ants of a vast blood-red world, orderly arranging this world into shape.

Inside the jars were "breeding" corpses that had died in various ways.

Some were missing arms and legs, with a giant hole hanging in their chests.

Some bodies were like a pile of mud, as if they had been run over by a road roller.

And some bodies were unscathed, a pair of wax-ball-like pupils empty and lifeless.

Strange and bizarre ways of death were everywhere; the task of this group of Minotaurs was just to store the "players."

At this moment, a strange sound occurred inside one of the jars.

Only to see the liquid inside jumping as if boiling, and the wounds of the corpse inside healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Bang!"

The corpse suddenly raised its hand and smashed against the glass jar body, emitting a loud noise.

The sound immediately attracted the attention of the Minotaur.

In an instant, all the Minotaurs stopped their movements, their gazes cast in unison.

"Bang!"

The dull sound rang out again, and the player in the jar suddenly opened his eyes!

He struggled subconsciously to escape, constantly spitting bubbles from his mouth, his eyes wide.

"Player shows signs of revival!"

A nearby Minotaur approached and punched the jar body!

"Boom!"

"Clatter!"

The liquid gushed out like a torrent, and the naked player inside fell down along with it.

"Cough cough!"

This person constantly coughed out yellow-green liquid, then stared at his hands in confusion.

"Where am I?"

"And... who am I?"

Before he could wake up, the Minotaur lifted him up.

"Player 'Tang Hui' revived."

Tang Hui looked at the giant bull head in front of him, his turbid eyes gradually becoming clear.

"You have obtained 'Divine Blessing', remaining lifespan: 30 days."

"For every player killed, lifespan increases by 10 days."

The dull, hoarse voice echoed in his ears, and Tang Hui's sealed brain seemed to be cleared.

Memories surged out like a tide.

"I remember now, I am Tang Hui, I clearly already died, but how..."

Tang Hui shook his dizzy head; he suddenly remembered that he had been slashed in the throat in the death game.

The person who killed him seemed to be deeply engraved in his memory like a brand.

Indelible.

"Prohibited from revealing any information about the Land of Divine Retinue, violators—die!"

Tang Jun carefully examined the world in front of him, terrified.

"Are the dead players all stored inside?"

"But I... revived."

He absorbed the information he had just received.

Revived but with only 30 days of lifespan left.

Killing one person could obtain an extra 10 days of lifespan.

Without a doubt, this was an opportunity bestowed by heaven.

It was also the hope of living!

Tang Jun slowly stood up, moved his limbs, and the joints emitted "click-click" sounds.

"As long as I kill, I can live, that's... too great!"

Bloodthirsty light flickered in his eyes.

He couldn't forget the taste of falling into darkness forever.

So this is what death tastes like.

He didn

He did not want to taste it again.

If resurrection was the will of the Divine, then he would carry out his duty...

To the very end!

"Player Tang Jun, depart for the prison!"

The Minotaur led the way in front, with Tang Jun following closely behind.

He examined the corpses around him, feeling both fortunate and terrified in his heart.

Without a doubt, he was the lucky one among the thousands of people.

A strong desire to survive suddenly surged in his heart.

He had already died once and did not want to experience it a second time.

After a long while, the Minotaur brought him before a massive gate.

"Player 'Tang Jun', admitted to Prison No. 366."

Tang Jun took a deep breath, his gaze turning cold, "I am ready."

"Boom—!"

The Minotaur pushed the heavy door open with force, and a blinding white light made it impossible for Tang Jun to keep his eyes open.

After a while, once he had adapted to the intensity of the light, he examined this 'upgraded' prison.

The corners of his mouth could not help but curl into a sinister arc.
