Chapter 307: Chapter 294: The Murderer (Part 6)

The four came to another door in the room. By then, Chen Xiao’s axe was already ruined, so Xiao Nan conjured up a new one for him, and Jingjing was brandishing a meteor hammer connected by a chain... Yes, it was one of those commonly seen in the Roman arenas, a solid iron ball completely covered in spikes. This tool, held by a teenage girl dressed as a maid, created a striking contrast, especially since Jingjing was not tall and could only drag it, the spikes screeching against the ground.

Looking at the door, it was similar to the previous ones, with a TV set beside it. By this point, everyone was almost casually waiting for the television to turn on, to see what sort of tricks the murderer would play this time.

The television lit up, and the rabbit head appeared as expected, though a bit slower than before.

"Hi, everyone, I’m Bill." The voice, altered by a voice changer, followed.

Chen Xiao frowned slightly and then directed his gaze towards the corner where the monitor was... "Yo, this time, it’s not a recording?"

"Yes, this isn’t pre-recorded, but me actually talking to you. This is something that has never happened before."

Chen Xiao slung his axe over his shoulder: "Yeah, yeah, you make it sound like we’ve received some great honor. Since you’ve shown up yourself, that means you’re ready to let us go, right..."

"Hehe... that’s not the case."

"Hmm?" Chen Xiao paused, confused. Having seen Xiao Nan and Jingjing’s abilities, he assumed the murderer would realize he was dealing with a crowd beyond his understanding.

"Hehehe, it seems I’ve underestimated you, how rude of me. So, what do you plan to discuss with us?"

The voice from the television responded... "Very well, I accept your apology. But the game must continue, and I am planning to change the rules."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao immediately sensed something amiss, his expression growing dark.

"It seems, with your abilities, these mechanisms or doors can no longer stop you, so..."

Before finishing his sentence, the camera on the television zoomed out, revealing the person wearing the fluffy rabbit mask. Just by her clothing, one could tell she was Xiao Yu’s cousin, currently tied to a chair in a small space, which looked nothing like the basement style.

"You have all probably wanted the person in the rabbit mask to die countless times during this game. So now, I’m handing this right over to you. The mask is fitted with a bomb, whose blast is strong enough to blow open ’Miss Rabbit’s’ skull. You don’t have to do anything; the bomb will detonate later... Of course, if you don’t want her head to turn into a watermelon, there is only one way: among you, select one person to replace her, yes, by smashing someone’s head with the weapons in your hands. Don’t try to open the door behind you to save her, as there’s nothing there. Miss Rabbit has been separately located right from the start and wasn’t ever in the basement area. Please forgive me for not disclosing her location, after all, the game’s climaxes should be more entertaining, shouldn’t they... Hehehe, worry not, I am reasonable. Because this choice is quite challenging, I am extending the time to thirty minutes. You can take your time to discuss whose head to smash... Hahahaha..."

The altered voice echoed through the room, as Chen Xiao glared at the screen, visibly upset.

"I thought you were just a third-rate murderer, but it turns out you’re not even that."

"What did you say?!!!!!!" Bill roared.

"You want to play games, which is normal, as people are naturally attracted to interesting things, no harm there. But your current behavior has lost the joy of a game!"

Xiao Yu’s boss had now come to accept the reality: "Hey, hey, what you say makes it sound like murdering someone is totally normal! Stop the chit-chat, think of a way to save her."

He muttered under his breath, his face helpless, but now he seemed to harbor an inexplicable confidence that this group would definitely be able to rescue his cousin.

Bill seemed even angrier: "Are you questioning my game?"

"No, this isn’t a game anymore, just plain murder, utterly boring, lacking any creativity. You’ve reduced the options to the minimum, everyone has only one path to take, which strips the game of its purpose. Man, you even enjoy this, it’s disgusting, you might as well go play with those rats! So, you’re just a third-rate stupid psycho."

"..." A silence followed

"Haha, trying to enrage me, huh? Useless, the rules won’t change. You do indeed have only this one path to take, one person must die!! Don’t rush, you have plenty of time. Come on, let me see who you will choose!!"

"I don’t want to waste any more time!"

"...What did you say? Have you already made your choice?"

"Of course not, because I don’t want to play anymore..." Chen Xiao muttered uninterestedly, and as soon as he finished, he swung his axe fiercely at the monitor.

Bill certainly hadn’t anticipated his prey to be armed with axes and meteor hammers, so the monitor wasn’t equipped with a protective screen, and the axe smashed the camera to pieces.

"Bring a mirror!" Immediately after, Chen Xiao called out.

The next second, Xiao Nan looked towards the wall, where a mirror gradually took shape,

and at that moment, Jingjing clearly knew what Chen Xiao intended to do, so without a second word, she walked over. The surface of the mirror rippled, and she stepped into the Mirror World.

"Can you find it?" Chen Xiao asked.

It took about two to three seconds.

"Found it!" she said, then vanished into the mirror.

Meanwhile, Bill and the little ruffian still sat in front of the screen as if nothing had happened.

"Hehe, smashing the camera in a fit of anger, but that changes nothing. Once the time is up, that woman’s head will explode everywhere... "

Upon hearing this the little ruffian asked, "Are you saying the bomb will explode no matter what?"

"Of course, even if they really killed someone, that woman will still die, hahaha, actually, they will all die. No prey has ever escaped my grasp, hahahaha—"

He laughed loudly, completely oblivious to the fact that in the recently smashed camera’s dark screen, the cold face of a young girl was slowly appearing.
