Chapter 71: The drawbacks of 'Binding'! Breaking Nan Xue Qing's psychological defense!

"Are you always this confident?" Nan Xue Qing's muzzle moved forward a few inches, pressing against Su Yang's forehead.

Pressing slightly, a depression appeared above his brow.

Su Yang looked at her fierce-but-weak appearance and spread his hands: "Confidence is not a bad thing."

"Besides, if you think everything I said is nonsense, why do you hesitate to pull the trigger?"

"Could it be that you have compassion and can't bear to kill me?"

After hearing this, Jiang Yao's mentality had completely collapsed.

It should have been a happy ending, with the two returning to the cell together and escaping the prison.

For three whole death games, she hadn't used her brain on the gameplay, sometimes not even figuring out the rules.

It was precisely because Nan Xue Qing was there that she was accustomed to clearing all obstacles and, relying on the 'Binding' talent, leading her to win the game.

Over time, Jiang Yao also got used to this mode of cooperation.

One person was responsible for clearing the game, and the other only needed to be a good hanger-on.

After all, with the 'Rebound' talent in front, no one dared to make a move rashly.

Precisely because of this, Nan Xue Qing was able to be like a fish in water in every game.

Including now, it was the same.

However, what Jiang Yao didn't expect was that her best friend actually wanted to kill her!

"Xue Qing, you aren't that kind of person, you wouldn't..." Jiang Yao had already cried into a tearful person, sobbing sadly.

"Nonsense, you said so much just to make me and Yao Yao have an internal conflict." Nan Xue Qing said coldly.

"Is that so? Then why not wait a few minutes and see if the game can end after Liu Wei Cheng dies." Su Yang's mouth curled into a confident smile.

It appeared again.

What Nan Xue Qing hated most was this look of Su Yang's, as if he controlled the overall situation.

As if everything was within his expectations.

"You still refuse to admit you're hypocritical; let me guess..." Su Yang pretended to be thoughtful and said slowly: "Is your conscience bothering you? Or perhaps you can't bring yourself to do it."

"Since you can't bring yourself to do it, give me the gun; I'll do what you don't dare to do."

"Don't even think about it!" Nan Xue Qing shouted.

Looking at the vigilance and suspicion flashing in her eyes, Su Yang suddenly understood: "I see, so you were afraid that after handing the gun to me, I would point the muzzle at you."

"Don't worry, I am a man of my word."

"You tell me who to kill, and I'll kill them."

"No... don't..." Jiang Yao begged bitterly.

Nan Xue Qing wanted to unlock the 'Last Person Alive' achievement, and Jiang Yao was the biggest obstacle.

Because 'Binding', in a sense, had already been missed.

Jiang Yao dies = she dies.

To enter the top hundred, she had to time it perfectly.

The moment Liu Wei Cheng died, Su Yang would shoot and kill Jiang Yao.

The moment the good guys were wiped out, the traitor's victory would be declared.

Of course, this was also a high-stakes gamble; she didn't know if the 'Binding' talent would still be in effect after the game ended.

At this point, she had nowhere to go and could only gamble.

And Su Yang was the executioner she had designated.

Once 'Rebound' took effect, Jiang Yao and Su Yang would die at the same time.

Only she would be left alive on the field, and the game would end.

Nan Xue Qing's plan was very clever, but it was a pity that Su Yang had seen through her thoughts as early as when Qi Ming said those words at the cave entrance.

So, under the guise of probing, he went with the flow and let Liu Wei Cheng go.

The goal had been achieved, and Nan Xue Qing had been driven to a dead end.

She couldn't force players to 'commit suicide'; this game of chess had reached a dead end.

This was the reason she hadn't made a move for a long time.

"Woo—"

At this moment, a loud ship whistle echoed through the area.

The ship finally started moving, inching forward toward the broken iceberg.

This scene was seen by the three, and different meanings flashed in their eyes.

"I didn't expect the Gunner to really get the ship moving." Su Yang exclaimed.

He had underestimated the power of bonds after all.

"Is this what you called a sure win?" Nan Xue Qing frowned.

"What's the rush? It's a one-kilometer journey; how could it arrive within three minutes?" Su Yang said.

"Why are you so sure that a blizzard will definitely arrive at night? Did you see it in the rules?" Nan Xue Qing asked.

"I was just talking nonsense." Su Yang smiled.

"You..." Nan Xue Qing stared.

This was a death game, not a regular entertainment project.

How could he treat such an important matter as a joke?

"I said on the first day that a blizzard would arrive on the third day, and you all believed it, didn't you?" Su Yang said.

"What does that prove?"

"As long as you believe... it can come true."

After speaking, Su Yang looked at the setting sun and couldn't help but take a deep breath, "The scenery here is really beautiful; if only it weren't so cold."

"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean 'believe and it comes true'?" Nan Xue Qing said impatiently.

"Look, the snow is getting heavier." Su Yang reached out to catch a snowflake, feeling the terrifying chill from his palm, his hair standing on end.

Nan Xue Qing felt the temperature drop suddenly and her face changed, "The blizzard is really coming?"

She was still thinking about what Su Yang meant.

Why does believing make it come true?

And—

Where did he find out the time for the blizzard to arrive?

Clearly, the clearance time for this death game was 5 days.

It stood to reason that the blizzard would arrive after the time limit ended.

But now it had been advanced.

Without waiting for her to open her mouth, Su Yang preempted: "You have 1 minute left to make a decision: kill, or don't kill!"

"Don't force me." Nan Xue Qing subconsciously took a step back.

"You are the one pointing a gun at me now; get your role straight." Su Yang stepped forward, his forehead against the barrel, his gaze burning:

"If you don't kill, you will die; if you kill, you have a chance to live."

"Anyway, her ranking is low, and she has no chance anymore; if you kill her, you can rush into the top hundred and escape the prison!"

"As a best friend, shouldn't you sacrifice at a critical moment? She won't blame you, and you can live on with her hope."

"The Gunner wants to see his daughter; don't you have someone you want to see?"

"Think about your parents, think about your future!"

"Instead of both dying, it's better to fulfill one."

"Are you still thinking about the so-called best friend bond? Do you still think this is the original world? Are you still fantasizing about leaving together?"

"Stop dreaming!"

Su Yang's voice grew higher and higher, pressing step by step, every word like a sharp knife piercing Nan Xue Qing's heart.

A series of questions sounded like a nightmare to her, her spirit on the verge of collapse.

"Kill, or don't kill?" Su Yang shouted.

"Don't force me!" Nan Xue Qing couldn't take it anymore, gritted her teeth, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

The bullet grazed Su Yang's eye, bringing out a smear of blood.

"Don't force me, don't force me anymore..." Nan Xue Qing suffered, murmuring constantly.

Su Yang touched the corner of his eye, looked at the blood on his fingertips, and chuckled, "In the end, you didn't dare to gamble..."

"You lost."
