Chapter 88: Chapter 52: Tear Duct Collapse, the Audience is Stunned by the Blade! (Please Subscribe!)_5

"I believe Baby Ke wouldn’t do this to us! Definitely! ...Maybe... It should be right?"

As someone who had experienced it all firsthand, Yin was more anxious at this moment than any audience member.

Watching as they were about to step through the softly glowing golden gate.

Perhaps endless bliss awaited them behind that door!

Yin gritted his teeth, attempting to push his nearly frozen stiff brother up the mountain from behind.

"Get up there!! Go!!" His fingers pressing the directional keys were leaving red marks, Yin clenched his teeth so hard that his gritted teeth showed, yet his brother didn’t move an inch.

It was then that Yin discovered, in despair.

This game, it had no concept of object collision.

"No... there must be a way to solve this. The designer couldn’t have purposely designed the game like this!" Yin’s gaze darted around desperately.

Soon, he saw a cluster of gravestones not far from him, and his eyes lit up!

There, it seemed that a bunch of red ribbon fragments were trapped in the snow, emitting a faint light that appeared to be a distress signal.

Yin had encountered these fragmented red ribbons many times along the way.

They were unlike the seaweed-like Stand Up ribbons.

These fragmented ribbons could follow the character and would only be absorbed and filled with energy when the character was powered up.

"Brother, wait for me!" Yin left those words behind and hurried towards the side.

Soon enough, he activated the ribbons at the grave cluster, and at that moment, the scarf around Yin’s neck began to glimmer, almost covering his neck. If things continued this way, he would be the next to die.

But Yin still ignored it all, running back quickly.

The snowstorm grew fiercer.

His brother lay half propped up in the snow, alone, looking like an ice sculpture from a distance.

Yin felt as if a giant hand was squeezing his heart.

But luckily, it seemed his brother still had a breath of life; when he saw Yin approaching, he emitted a faint shortwave.

"Brother, look what I brought you..." Yin cut off halfway through his excited words.

What happened next was enough to shatter the hearts of all the viewers in the live broadcast, including Yin.

Everyone’s heart broke!

Just as Yin brought the ribbon fragments in front of his brother, hoping to fill him with energy.

Baby Ke, facing Yin, seemed to take a deep look at him.

Then.

He took a step back.

And then.

Another step back.

One more step!

After three steps.

Moving around would exacerbate the depletion of energy.

Already at his last gasp, Baby Ke remained completely motionless after these three steps backward, becoming a lifelike statue of ice with a smile on his face, gazing in Yin’s direction.

He...

Died in the blizzard.

What was even more devastating was.

These three steps he took backward, whether it was a whimsical trick of fate or a deliberate act by the designer.

From a lateral view.

His backward footsteps scraped three trails in the snow.

A smiley face symbol was drawn.

^-^

In the bottom right corner of the computer screen, a notification for an unlocked achievement also popped up at that moment.

You have unlocked a Hidden Achievement:[Partner]

The pop-up for this achievement notification completely broke the collective defense of the heartbroken live stream audience!

At two in the morning, the live stream chat exploded layer after layer.

"Damn it!! Why?????"

"Aaaaaah!! Ke Jin, come out and get a beating!!! Did you do this on purpose??? You were already at the top of the mountain!! Why couldn’t you let both of them pass the level?!"

"My little brother! My little brother!! I’m crying my eyes out!! Wuuuuuu..."

"It’s like it knew that if it took that wave of energy, Big Bro would undoubtedly die... To let Big Bro continue onward, it went back three steps and depleted all its energy without giving Big Bro any chance to save it..."

"Those three steps it took backwards, it looked like it was stepping into the snow, but it was actually stepping on my heart, almost crushing it..."

"I thought Baby Ke wouldn’t stab me, but his knife turned out to be so sharp, slashing across my tear ducts from start to finish..."

"Little brother: Big Bro, within three steps, I will protect you completely! But, now it’s beyond three steps, so... This is as far as I go ^-^"

"Wuuuuuu, stop stabbing, stop stabbing, you’ve made the child stupid from stabbing!"

Yin also felt uneasy watching the audience’s collective defenses break down.

Honestly, his eyes were already red.

But for a man in his forties to cry out loud in public would be too embarrassing.

He bit his teeth, holding back the tears, his voice choked and trembling.

"Maybe this is just one aspect Designer Ke intentionally designed, isn’t life like this too, where even lifelong partners will eventually have one leave before the other... How can the world give us Both the Whole Law, to not fail both Buddha and beloved. Life, is always filled with regrets like these, perhaps this is also what Designer Ke wants to convey through the little brother to the players."

"Little brother has already sacrificed himself, we cannot fall, let’s pick up our spirits and carry on..." Before the word ’road’ was spoken, Yin suddenly paused.

Because, he saw an inconspicuous comment drift across the screen.

Because it wasn’t crying like the other comments, it stood out all the more.

"I’m curious, why did the little brother’s energy exhaust, yet Yin’s energy hadn’t?"

It was this sentence that abruptly stopped the previous crying from the comments.

Because emotions had already built up to that point, numerous viewers had lost their senses in the breakdown, making it hard to think about this question.

But now, upon calming down and thinking carefully...

Right...

Why are the two little red robes’ scarf lengths not the same?

Evidently, they had come this way together...

There was a sharp intake of breath from one of the viewers.

Yin, as if he realized something, blurted out swearing: "Cenima!! At the deep pit ruins! Little brother waited for me for more than ten minutes, then left me that hidden QR code!"

"I have one more than it!!"

After these words were said.

The live stream chat exploded!!

In the hearts of every viewer, a tremor that seemed to emanate from the depths of their souls surged!!

This plot twist, had it already been laid out back then??

Ke Jin, this designer...

His knife wasn’t just sharp...

He was actually killing people with a blunt knife!
