Chapter 37
"Throw all the guns over, I don't want to say it a second time." Su Yang ordered.
Yu Yue obeyed obediently, without a trace of resistance or dissatisfaction.
Su Yang kicked all the guns away, the shotgun aiming steadily at her head.
"You can enjoy the last 10 minutes well."
Similarly, he also wanted to use this to unlock achievements and gain points.
Killing now is killing, and killing after 10 minutes is also killing.
Since the game ending is destined, what's the harm in waiting a little longer?
Yu Yue's hair was disheveled, covering the expression on her face.
A moment later, her shoulders twitched slightly, and a sound of sobbing came out.
"What are you crying for?" Su Yang narrowed his eyes.
"Actually, I never thought about killing anyone." Yu Yue's voice carried a hint of sobbing.
"Who wants to kill? It's just being forced by circumstances."
"Do you have parents?" Yu Yue asked.
"Nonsense, do you think you popped out of a rock?" Su Yang said irritably.
"Before arriving at the cage, I was drinking with friends at KTV, and my mom and dad suddenly called, telling me to go home early."
"Do you know? The sentence they said most to me when I was a child was 'study hard'; elementary school, middle school, high school, they said it every day, and I was sick of hearing it."
"After I got to college, they wouldn't let me go out to play, claiming that doing so would lead to meeting some unsavory people."
"But I was already grown up; couldn't I distinguish who was a good person and who was a bad person?"
"After graduation, they nagged me to go home before ten o'clock every day, worried that I would be kidnapped by bad people."
"Not allowed to smoke, not allowed to drink, not allowed to wear ear studs..."
"I really hated them treating me like a little girl; sometimes I would think, it would be better if they weren't my mom and dad."
Su Yang remained silent; he hadn't experienced what she had experienced and couldn't empathize.
The memories of his parents had already become blurred.
He only vaguely remembered the whole family sitting around the dining table, eating dinner while chatting and laughing...
"Later, they called one after another, and I didn't answer a single one; I just wanted to piss them off." Yu Yue repeated the experience of that day; for her, it was like a brand carved deep into her soul.
Never to be erased.
"But do you know? I regret it very much now; I regret why I didn't go home earlier..." Yu Yue's sobbing grew louder, "I miss them very much, I really miss them."
Having said this, Yu Yue raised her head, revealing a tear-stained face under the messy hair, "Everything I did was just to see them one more time."
"But why... is it so difficult?"
Su Yang looked at her face, feeling a strange pain in his heart.
Everyone has a reason they must survive.
Perhaps it's family, perhaps it's responsibility, perhaps it's love.
But in this strange world, just living is already a remarkable thing.
Su Yang vaguely remembered what Yu Yue looked like when he first saw her.
Covered in thorns, talking about killing in every sentence, her words revealing a fierce aura.
The whole person was like an unstable bomb, ready to explode at any time.
He had thought she was his natural executioner, but he didn't expect the reason behind it to be so simple and direct.
Just wanting to see her mom and dad one more time.
A seemingly ordinary wish, but at this moment, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
"I can't answer you, because I'm also looking for the answer." Su Yang said.
"Tell me, are they still alive? If they are alive, they should be desperately looking for their daughter, right?" Yu Yue's eyes showed hope, but also a bit of timidity.
"As parents, how could they not love their children?" Su Yang was silent for a long time before speaking.
"But I have no chance to see them again." Yu Yue smiled miserably.
Regarding this, Su Yang didn't want to say more.
He wasn't qualified to judge everyone's life, nor was he qualified to be magnanimous.
"Hunter Moment ended, 'Hunter' player wins."
"Pelican Moment ended, 'Pelican' player wins."
The next moment, the sky seemed to be torn open, and all the blood-red light and green light disappeared completely.
The buildings returned to their original colors, and the setting sun shone on the ground through the warehouse glass, emitting bursts of golden-orange light.
"Time to hit the road." Su Yang said.
Yu Yue closed her eyes.
"Bang!"

"It's over." Su Yang let out a long breath.
Walking out of the warehouse and looking at this cold and beautiful town, he suddenly realized that he hadn't properly appreciated the scenery here.
Then he came to the pier, looking at the sparkling blue bay, a salty sea breeze brushing his cheeks, carrying the warmth of the setting sun.
"The afterglow is indeed beautiful, but the price is too high..."
Su Yang returned to the church and found an extra envelope on the seat where he sat.
He opened the envelope and took out the paper inside.
It recorded the progress of this death game in detail.
Including the talents, identities, and killing records of all players.
"Number 3 is really miserable, died without saying a few words."
"Number 4's talent turned out to be speed enhancement... no wonder he could fight hand-to-hand with Number 2."
"Number 9's identity is Astral Walker? Then who killed her?" Su Yang felt slightly stunned.
He had always thought Number 9 was neutral.
Looking down, he found that the perpetrator was actually Number 2!
"Number 2 killed 2 people in a row on the first day, but Number 14 took the blame?" Su Yang laughed dumbly.
The review showed that Number 14 was indeed a wolf who was voted out.
His identity was a bird-eating duck.
He didn't kill anyone, just went to the old tavern for a drink and was voted out.
It can only be said that the gold content of the logic is still rising.
At this time, he noticed an interesting point.
Sun Wei's identity was Avenger, and his talent was 'Magnification'.
Seeing this, Su Yang couldn't help but recall the extremely foul smell he suddenly smelled while cleaning the warehouse yesterday.
And just after Sun Wei left, that foul smell was reduced tenfold.
Yu Yue had even said he was pretentious; it turned out Sun Wei's talent was at work.
"I was wondering why I was the only one who felt like vomiting." Su Yang shook his head helplessly.
He didn't understand why Sun Wei would use his talent on him.
If it was just to slow down the mission rhythm, what good would it do him?
If it weren't for this, they could have completed the mission before Number 9 died.
In this way, Number 9 might have lived, and the person voted out in the first round might have been Number 2.
"Things are unpredictable, and human hearts are fickle." Su Yang put the paper back into the envelope.
Just like the first time, it was burned after reading, turning into flying ash.
【Review finished, exiting soon...】
