Chapter 886: Chapter 886: Illusion Confrontation

Gan Yi sneered, "Die? The one who dies might not be me!"

As his words were about to end, a translucent box appeared beside Xu Huo, like a rectangular cabinet, directly enveloping him inside.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The Crimson Sword struck several times in succession, but it didn’t leave a single scratch on the translucent barrier. Xu Huo tried various other props in vain, unable to break through the two-square-meter prop space.

At this time, Gan Yi, holding onto the Eye of the Deceased with a twisted expression, slowly began to pull the sword out, "Your sword is quite the treasure, capable of piercing through my defense prop. If you were holding this prop, ’Box of Life and Death,’ you might not be trapped."

Xu Huo seemed to have given up on breaking through the prop. He looked at Gan Yi, "Can your prop seal the tickets?"

"Ha ha." Gan Yi chuckled, "Did you really clear the level?"

"If I had cleared it, why wouldn’t I leave? Pretending to kill people, isn’t it just to cover up the fact that you didn’t clear the level?"

Xu Huo spoke with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, "If I said I stayed because of you, you definitely wouldn’t believe me."

Gan Yi’s expression changed slightly. He quickly consumed two bottles of Self-Healing Potion, then stowed the Eye of the Deceased into his luggage compartment. He kept a certain distance from the Box of Life and Death as he circled halfway around Xu Huo, using the Box of Life and Death to block between him and the two, Sha Jia and You Si, and warned them, "Instead of thinking of ways to clear the level, you want to save someone who’s neither kith nor kin. In all my life in this game, this is the first time I’ve seen ’good people.’"

You Si scoffed with a snort, "Good or bad, that’s another matter. I just plain dislike you. A Level D Player sneaking attack on a normal person, even I am embarrassed for you!"

"He’s a Rank-C Player," Xu Huo added.

This comment made You Si and Sha Jia somewhat restrained. Although they witnessed Gan Yi being overpowered by Xu Huo, which didn’t look like a Rank-C Player at all, they, after all, didn’t have the space and mental Super Evolution like Xu Huo did.

And indeed, Gan Yi wasn’t as weak as he appeared. The reason he didn’t show the power of a true Rank-C Player in the face of Xu Huo wasn’t just because the opponent was too strong. Back in Zone 011, he had been blasted by Ashis Verna, which had destroyed several of his Advanced Items. Later, at Rose Castle, he was caught by Bai Kou and had to use another Advanced Item to escape at the cost of two fingers.

Gan Yi looked at the two of them and started to laugh, "Despite being injured, it’s not a problem for me to deal with you two. Go ahead and try."

Before Sha Jia and You Si could speak, Xu Huo raised his hand to interrupt them, "Instead of wasting time on idle talk, let’s focus on the matter at hand."

Gan Yi glanced at him coldly, clenched his left hand, and the range of the "Box of Life and Death" quickly shrank to only allow one person to stand, firmly trapping Xu Huo in the middle.

"Who exactly are you?" he demanded.

The trapped Xu Huo showed no sign of concern for his predicament and said calmly, "I’m just fulfilling a request. Lady Lily doesn’t want to see her brother dragged down by a player from the Holy Sword Society... I didn’t expect your Holy Sword Society to be so capable, killing quite a few with Black Epaulettes and being able to steal items from the laboratory and get away scot-free."

Hearing this, Gan Yi burst out laughing, "So you’re also a guest in that woman’s tent. What does being a genius matter? To think that for just a bit of pleasure below your belt, you’re willing to be driven by a woman. Laughable!"

Several seconds later, he could no longer smile under Xu Huo’s gaze, and in a fit of rage, he closed the "Box of Life and Death" again, "You’re playing me!"

Xu Huo, confined within the "Box of Life and Death," was forced to stand on tiptoe, his arms contorted awkwardly against his body, his figure slightly deformed. However, his tone remained unchanged, "I’m not interested in the power struggles of Zone 011’s nobles, but the Holy Sword Society is a different matter."

"I want to know who owns the paper prop that kills with blood and names."

"It should be a Sacred Sword Society Gold Disciple holding it."

"Moreover, the Holy Sword Society has buried quite a few people in Zone 011. I’m a bit curious about your purpose. It’s not just about snatching a Primeval Stone, is it?"

Gan Yi concealed his emotions, but human instinct still betrayed certain tells. Instead of directly answering Xu Huo’s question, he said, "People paid to do a job need to maintain professional propriety. I don’t ask too many questions."

"You mean you’re hired," Xu Huo nodded slightly. "Is a noble’s offer worth a Rank-C Player being trapped and enduring torture?"

"Everyone has a price; it just depends on whether the offer is enough..." Gan Yi stopped suddenly, then looked around at the other people in the plaza. The silence was unusual, and Xu Huo, trapped by the "Box of Life and Death," should have shown symptoms of suffocation from thin air by now... He quickly stepped back, only to hit a solid object!

With a reflexive turn, Gan Yi saw the wall of Friendship Garden Plaza. Looking forward again, cracks suddenly appeared on the "Box of Life and Death." Accompanied by the sound of cracking, it shattered into debris within seconds, and Xu Huo shook his clothes and stepped out, reaching his hand toward Gan Yi.

Gan Yi wanted to flee but upon looking down, found the "Eye of the Deceased" still embedded in his body, its blade having cut through his shoulder bone!

Xu Huo pulled the "Eye of the Deceased" out.

Bacteria had already infected more than half of Gan Yi’s body, discoloring a large portion of his face. He knelt and gasped for air on the ground, while the individual labeled number 27 lay dead beside him.

Realizing that common antitoxins wouldn’t cure this poison, Gan Yi raised his hand and thrust it into his own throat, his fingers piercing into his pharynx as he let out a pained howl. With eyes full of resentment, he looked at Xu Huo and said with difficulty, "I didn’t expect... to die so pathetically... The Holy Sword Society will avenge me..."

Xu Hu raised up to him, crouched down and said, "Are you committing suicide for the Holy Sword Society, or simply to prevent the prop from falling into my hands? Does cloaking your intentions in nobility make your death any more glorious? It’s a pity there’s no holy light on your corpse."

Gan Yi suddenly laughed. He quickly grabbed Xu Huo’s foot, and three bulges reminiscent of worms swiftly crawled from his veins up his leg!

Xu Huo quickly stepped back, tore open his shirt and deftly cut open two veins in his arm. However, one of the bulges had already reached his shoulder and, unstoppable, burrowed into his heart!

His expression immediately contorted in agony as he collapsed to the ground, violently vomiting blood!

Gan Yi laughed heartily, slowly withdrawing the hand "inserted" in his neck. The skin that had been bleeding moments earlier was slowly healing. He stood up, looking down from his superior position at the person kneeling on the ground, "What a shame to die so young. Rest assured, once you’re dead, I’ll take your body away. Feeding it to the Aliens would be good, to not waste your body capable of double Super Evolution!"

"Now I see," said Xu Huo, as he slowly rose to his feet under Gan Yi’s disbelieving gaze. "The Holy Sword Society’s members have no other strengths – heartless and harsh-tongued to a fault."
