All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human

Chapter 523: The Terminally Ill Heiress on Death Game Island (39)

"Player R63, please state your answer within three minutes."

The mechanical and monotonous voice fell as teammates standing behind the five cages each stated their answers in turn.

Cage 1, Jing XiYuaan: "Unsafe."

Cage 2, Fang Qing: "Unsafe."

Cage 3, Lu Shanyang: "Safe."

Cage 4, Huo Yi frowned and said his answer: "Safe."

Cage 5, Bai Huai: "Unsafe."

Bai Huai clenched his fist, not surprised that those he should trust the most would suddenly turn against him.

Fortunately, the game’s mechanism is that among the players who reveal an empty cage, there is certainly one who is telling the truth.

This time, as the lucky one, could she pick correctly?

Bai Huai was still worried; people are emotional creatures. Often, longstanding relationships can cloud their judgment.

Even the R-category players around, watching Qiann Yan’s predicament, are unsurprised.

In the minds of these assimilated people, teammates who trust each other will inevitably betray one another as time passes.

Now, they have regrouped. Everyone has committed acts of betrayal, yet with their understanding of Death Game Island, they no longer care.

Forming teams is merely about finding two people to take up space.

Besides, not every time do they encounter small hints prompting them to lie and harm teammates. Even knowing they’re being toyed with by the game, they’re no longer angry.

As if accepting fate, everyone naturally thinks that if betrayal is needed for great benefit, then betrayal is necessary.

Death means bad luck; death was destined.

Escape?

Everyone wants to escape, but not before ensuring survival.

To escape, one must acquire countless points. How are points gained? Either by betraying teammates or helping teammates.

Truly a game that leaves you powerless.

"My choice is Cage 4." Qiann Yan barely paused before stating her answer.

Bai Huai relaxed inwardly; indeed, she is the lucky one.

"Player R63, are you sure you choose Cage 4?"

Qiann Yan: "I am sure."

The black cloth over Cage 4 was slowly lifted, revealing indeed an empty cage.

Standing behind, Huo Yi laughed; his palms were sweaty, genuinely fearing Qiann Yan might choose the wrong answer based on first impressions.

He looked disappointed at Lu Shanyang standing on another platform; it was said they’d grown up together, yet betrayal had begun.

Huo Yi’s eyes felt warm, wondering if true friendship without betrayal really doesn’t exist here.

He didn’t want to become like these people; the game was dragging everyone down.

He clenched his fist firmly; he absolutely could not become like them, even if it meant dying, he refused to sink.

Never!

As everyone walked out, silence hung heavily among them.

A year ago, facing this, Huo Yi would surely have been unable to resist punching someone; now, he lacked the strength to do so.

He couldn’t control others, only himself, maintaining his original intention, ensuring while alive, he wouldn’t be dragged down like them.

"Huo Yi, are you feeling sad?" Fang Qing walked out side by side with Huo Yi, always observing his expressions, "I’m quite sad too."

"I once felt happy when Ling Qianyan developed a terminal illness, yet deep down felt ashamed. Because I knew she wasn’t wrong, my dislike for her was merely because she was too excellent, impossible to catch up with, her luck too good."
