Chapter 287: I Won't Play This Trash Game!

The sudden Transform made Qin Weiyang's complexion slightly change.

She glanced at her watch and found that less than ten minutes had passed since the start.

"Si Yao!"

Li Zhangge rushed forward, seized her hand, and strained to drag her outward.

But with only his own strength, it was clearly impossible.

He could only watch helplessly as the greedy wandering soul dragged it away.

Until it vanished completely.

"No, Si Yao!!"

Li Zhangge was instantly at a loss, gritting his teeth and clawing at the ground.

No matter how hard he tried, the soft soil was unusually firm.

Tang Hui licked his Mouth and gave Liao Chen a signal.

Liao Chen understood, nodded, and slowly retreated half a step.

"Stop digging; even if you tunnel through here you can't save her," Tang Hui said leisurely.

Li Zhangge ignored him, focused solely on rescuing her.

"Su Yang, Su Yang, look at the soldiers you brought; they're all obstinate," Tang Hui said, holding his forehead in helplessness.

"Put away your dirty Mouth face; it's nauseating to look at," Su Yang said calmly.

Tang Hui, hearing that, didn't get angry; instead, with a Laugh said, "Don't hurry; soon it'll be your turn."

When those words were spoken, Li Zhangge, his eyes reddened, turned his head toward Su Yang,

"People aren't plants; who can be without feeling? You all just watch her die with eyes wide open?"

"You've all forgotten what Si Yao has done for you? She has never owed you a single thing!"

"And you... are so cold-blooded."

"Su Yang, I misread you; you're more detestable than the perpetrator!"

Facing his rebuke, Su Yang replied calmly, "Outsiders' interference only Accelerate her death."

"You're spouting nonsense!" Li Zhangge shouted, "You're just trying to use her hand to test the waters; don't think I can't see it!"

Tang Hui stepped forward at that moment and said, "You really have wronged him; indeed, your stepping Accelerated the flow of time."

"The game can only be played one person at a time; forcing entry will incur punishment."

What?!

Li Zhangge Sight the re-timed hourglass, and his Brain suddenly went blank.

His hand stalled, his face turned ashen.

"You have taken over her Task, so begin the game, second player," Tang Hui said with a radiant smile.

"By the way, Reminder: you now have only 7 minutes."

Li Zhangge's body shivered violently, his face full of disbelief as he Vision Perception toward Tang Hui.

He could never have imagined the game rules were so ruthless.

Not only did he fail to rescue anyone, but he also got himself pulled in.

His gaze landed on Su Yang's face, and he said angrily, "So you already knew it would end like this; why didn't you give me a Reminder?"

Su Yang remained expressionless, but silently sighed inwardly.

Indeed, Li Zhangge is more foolish than he had imagined.

If there were no player limit, four people could, in ten minutes, touch every Tombstone.

Such a heart-rate and probability Checkpoint, of course, wouldn't be that simple.

Li Zhangge was driven by burning anger; seeing Lai Siyao's pitiful helplessness stirred compassion in him.

But that was understandable; after all, they were neighbors and emerged from the same initial prison, making their feelings hard to define.

However...

"Has your conscience been swallowed by a dog? Without Su Yang, you'd have died ten thousand times already," Qin Weiyang said, unable to swallow the words.

"You pair of dog men and women collude; don't think I don't know what Abacus you're secretly using," Li Zhangge said sharply.

Facing the dead end, he simply didn't feel aggrieved.

Anyway, failure means certain death; why conceal it?

There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.

From the moment Lai Siyao was dragged into the earth, his heart turned to ash.

"Pa pa!"

Tang Hui clapped his hands and said, "Truly spectacular; I haven't seen such a scene in a long time."

"Shut your Mouth!" Li Zhangge shouted furiously, "You Tang, don't get too smug; when I find the answer, I'll be the first to kill you!"

Tang Hui, unruffled, laughed, "Fine, I'll wait for you."

"However... before that, I hope you can walk out alive."

Having said that, Li Zhangge tossed his Tang sword onto the ground, then stripped his clothes, exposing a slightly thin upper torso.

He immediately charged toward the remaining unverified Tombstones.

He swept over dozens in succession, all without response.

Li Zhangge remained unusually calm, as if he had already emerged from grief.

But Su Yang knew this was the calm before the storm.

The other was holding his breath, outwardly calm as an ancient well, but inside already filled with raging fire.

Just like a volcano that could erupt at any moment.

The scene suddenly fell into silence, leaving only Li Zhangge's wheezing breaths.

In the blink of an eye, five minutes passed.

Watching the sand grow ever sparser, he did not feel impatient.

On the contrary, he grew more excited.

Because the sweep was complete, only a hundred Tombstones remained.

Ahead, Lai Siyue got off to a good start, sweeping over more than eight hundred Tombstones.

Li Zhangge only needed to check the places she hadn't touched.

By elimination, this Checkpoint could still be passed.

At the thought of having to chop Tang Hui's Brain off later, his palm couldn't stop trembling.

Soon, the remaining sand was about to run out, and Tang Hui said, "Reminder, you have ten seconds left."

"Completely enough!"

Li Zhangge looked at the last ten Tombstones, and a Smile spread at the corner of his Mouth.

At this moment he was already drenched in Sweat, yet he felt no fatigue at all.

He took a long breath and swept through in one go, until he appeared before the final Tombstone.

At that moment the blood‑colored air around him almost solidified.

Li Zhangge stared at the Tombstone before him, clenched his fist tightly, then relaxed and touched it slowly.

"Wait for me, I will avenge you."

"They... all must die!"

However, the moment he touched, the imagined scene did not appear.

The Tombstone remained unmoved, and the blood‑colored characters on it still showed no Transform.

"What's going on?"

Seeing this, Li Zhangge instantly panicked and hurried to try touching again.

But no matter how he touched, there was still no response.

At that moment, a heart suddenly fell into the abyss.

"Alright, time's up!"

When the final grain of sand fell, the ten minutes ended.

The familiar scene reappeared, and more than ten illusory arms seized Li Zhangge's legs, dragging him forcibly toward the ground.

"How could it be wrong? I checked everything, not a single miss!" Li Zhangge struggled fiercely, but it was of no help.

He could only watch helplessly as his figure grew shorter, sinking into the mire with resentment.

Until he vanished.

Tang Hui smiled with satisfaction, "Alright, next, which of you two will go first?"

Only four people remained on the field.

Two Guardians.

Two Treasure Hunters.

Su Yang looked at the restored clear Tomb, and a flash of brilliance flickered in his eyes.

"What? Afraid?" Tang Hui sneered as the two remained unmoved, letting out a mocking laugh,

"Being the top solo scorer, you're not scared of such a tiny Checkpoint, right?"

Qin Weiyang was not blinded by murderous intent, but kept a constant eye on Su Yang's actions.

In her view, this Checkpoint was extremely strange.

Li Zhangge did not lie; he truly had touched every Tombstone.

Under normal circumstances, one could certainly achieve victory by elimination.

But the result was not so.

Therefore, there must be something odd inside.

Su Yang let out a light laugh, lifted his leg and stepped onto the Tomb.

"What gallant spirit!" Tang Hui couldn't help but give a thumbs‑up.

Su Yang felt the waves of cold around him, did not step forward, and instead sat down with a thud.

Tang Hui narrowed his eyes, "What are you doing?"

"Rest," Su Yang replied.

"Ten minutes flash by; you want to waste that time on this?" Tang Hui's words were laced with urgency.

"What's the hurry..." Su Yang gave a faint smile, "Anyway, no matter what I do, the ending is the same."

"Isn't that so?"

Before Tang Hui could speak, Su Yang added, "This whole game has been a scam from start to finish."

"Accurately speaking, it should be the work of the one behind you, right?"

Liao Chen's complexion changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

Su Yang, seeing this, said calmly, "The Hourglass is the key to activating the Innate Talent, and the Failure is dragged underground; doesn't this scene feel familiar?"

"You two deliberately set the Checkpoint to the desired mode."

"This trash game..."

"I won't play."
