Chapter 468: Awakening

"Limited lifespan and pleasure."

"Infinite lifespan and danger."

In the bar, a white-haired old man was drinking wine. A plate of peanuts was placed on his table. He picked one up and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly, his expression very enjoyable.

"No matter how one chooses, perhaps they will regret it when approaching death."

Sitting opposite the old man was a beautiful woman, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, wearing a cheongsam, but she didn't appear coquettish; instead, she gave off the feeling of a lady from a noble family.

Holding a teacup, she blew on it gently.

"Time will give the answer. When this answer appears, it means there is no room for change. Therefore, for us, we must be extremely cautious in everything we do."

The crowd noticed that both of them had Liar-Slayers tucked into their waists. The old man's Liar-Slayer was a pure green Pistol, and the beauty's Liar-Slayer was a pure black Pistol.

The two didn't look like relatives, but rather like friends; one drinking wine, one drinking tea.

"The old man is named Liu Anfeng, the beauty is named Shen Yuwei. Their Points are enough to live here for a very, very long time..."

"How long is very long?"

"Cannot be said. It's said they provoked a very powerful existence outside, and can only hide here, waiting for that person to die before going out." The Bartender's answer startled the crowd.

"They can still go out? Didn't you have to sign a contract and speak a lie when the time is up?"

Hearing this, the Bartender shot a sidelong glance at the person asking, and sneered: "VIP clients naturally have corresponding treatment."

【VIP clients】?

From previous deductions, the highest Star Rating in this world was Six-Star, which meant these two were Six-Star Players seeking refuge.

As long as they weren't BOSSes, it was fine.

So the crowd ignored them. As for what they said, they had seen plenty of this kind of people who liked to preach to others.

Just like how there are always people using their experiences to exhort you on what to do.

The fatigue from a long time made these three hundred plus players casually find seats and sit down to enjoy the rare tranquility. After all, their time in this world was very abundant.

The drinks were free. They each ordered a drink and also asked for some snacks to go with the wine.

The Bartender transformed one into ten, and very quickly served the drinks and food to the hundreds of tables of players.

There were also players who went to experience those thrilling activities, such as skydiving, surfing, etc.

From the looks of it, it wouldn't be long before another large batch of players would sign the contract.

Simply because it was too comfortable here.

Even if you wanted to be an emperor, the Bartender could create an imperial palace for you.

Chen Ran's group of four sat down.

For Chen Ran, if he stayed here, he would replicate that person, but he still couldn't face her, so he wouldn't stay here.

For Qiu Yinong, this place didn't fit her ambitions, and she wouldn't stay here either.

For Jiang Zhe, he wanted to recover his memories from when he was alive, and wouldn't stay here either.

For Lin Xuan, someone like him who had experienced a rough life when alive would be driven crazy if he stayed here, so he wouldn't stay here either.

Therefore, afraid of delaying matters, the four people all drank tea and ate small pastries.

In this rare leisure time, Chen Ran felt it was necessary to sort things out.

'Fuse Mental State!'

He had to say, this bar was like a utopian paradise, making this group of players struggling on the brink of death become harmonious, and their tense nerves also relaxed at this moment.

Even several players who didn't know each other became familiar after sharing a table, chatting and laughing as if they were fair-weather friends.

There were several Three-Star Slaves who had already decided to stay here, and were discussing what to do in the future. Someone suggested they could form a football team and hold a football match or something with the other players staying here.

But very quickly, it was opposed by a Three-Star Youth: "How about we form an esports team? I play EZ really well."

"No, no, I think we should just have the Bartender create an ancient era of chaos for us, and we can go contend for hegemony over the world..."

They had endless futures to talk about.

Unable to settle their disputes.

Finally, they looked at each other and smiled. The time was so long, and they wouldn't grow old, so they could experience them all one by one here.

Compared to the players who decided to stay, the players who planned to decipher the puzzle were discussing playing to their heart's content today, and going to collect Cards tomorrow.

Lin Xuan was bored, so he counted the players who went to sign the contract during this period.

Good heavens.

There were actually over a hundred and fifty people, taking up half of the total number. Among these players, Three or Four-Star ones were the majority, of course there were Five-Star ones too, but it seemed they were all Slaves in the 18th Level...

These Slaves had no way out. Rather than going out to be Cannon Fodder, it was better to stay here.

'Fuck, this skill of Si Jincheng's is a temptation that Slaves cannot refuse.'

'Not only that, the mechanism of Hell is so vicious, it is also a fatal temptation to many players who cannot see a future.'

'This level of heart-killing...'

'Is simply unsolvable.'

Lin Xuan was just thinking.

Chen Ran unexpectedly asked: "Among the people you know, is there anyone with the word 【Xiang Wan】 in their name?"

Clang!

Lin Xuan's teacup fell to the ground. He was startled first, then his expression became ferocious, and he gritted his teeth saying: "Yu Xiangwan?"

"You know her?" Chen Ran looked as if he had seen a ghost, and his expression also became serious.

"Hehe, I wouldn't forget her even if I became a ghost. It was her who fell from a high building and smashed me to death. Do you know her?" Lin Xuan's eyes were wide with anger. If it weren't for the protection of the Liar-Slayer, he would already be grabbing Chen Ran by the collar right now.

When he was alive, he dealt with his family, finally inherited the company, and enjoyed endless wealth. He could have lived a chic life, but on the way to go shopping, he was smashed to death by a 【Sister Lin】 falling from the sky. Coming to this man-eating Hell, how could he not hate?

From Chen Ran's inquiry, Lin Xuan realized that his death might not be that simple.

But, he recalled carefully, the three of them didn't seem to have any interactions when they were alive.

Chen Ran shook his head and ignored Lin Xuan, who was on the verge of fury, simply because his inner heart was already churning, feeling like a layer of window paper was about to be poked through.

'Qiu Yinong: Autumn.'

'Mei Zhixu: Winter.'

'Shen Yuwei...'

'Spring Equinox raindrops fall with a faint sound (Shen Yuwei).'

'Slanted winds on the willow bank bring the guest home (Liu Anfeng).'

'The season in the north leans towards being late (Yu Xiangwan).'

'Who knew the green waist was already plump (Liu Anfeng's green pistol).'

'Shen Yuwei: Spring.'

'Yu Xiangwan...'

'The season in the north leans towards being late.'

'The spring in the north arrives a bit later than in the south. Yu Xiangwan, Yu (Remaining) Xiang Wan (Towards Late).'

'What remains is Xiang Wan.'

'Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, missing a Summer.'

'Yu Xiangwan: Summer.'

'Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter are all gathered. Is this the rhythm of summoning a divine dragon?'

'Slanted winds on the willow bank bring the guest home.'

'Liu Anfeng (Willow Bank Wind), brings the guest home.'

'Brings the guest home, Liu Anfeng.'

Chen Ran looked at the old man. His name was Liu Anfeng, he was an old man, and tucked into his waist was a pure green Liar-Slayer.

'Who knew the green waist was already plump.'

Chen Ran lit a cigarette. He felt like he had deduced something incredible, it was just that the old man's Star Rating wasn't right. Why would he be a Six-Star Player?
