Infinite Flow: Becoming a God in a Nightmare Game

Chapter 207 1 False Alarm

The central open space surrounded by the castle.

Players were already popping out of the door and arriving here one after another.

Everyone tacitly agreed to gather in this only safe little area.

The three surviving members of the Dawn Guild stood on this small open space, but Qi An didn't look well.

His right arm was bitten off by a black bear, and the white bone was exposed, which Qingqing dared not look at directly.

His body was covered in cuts and lacerations, torn open by the black bear.

Although he managed to stop the bleeding, it was only a last gasp.

Qi An blinked, a weak smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, and a hoarse word escaped his throat.

"I can hold on a little longer. This little injury is nothing more than a bit of hardship..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qi An fainted due to exhaustion.

Yu Zhi had no choice but to bend down. "Come on, Qingqing, give me a hand, I'll carry him on my back."

At 1.6 meters tall, carrying a man on her back was a bit strenuous, but it didn't matter; she was the president, after all, and had to shoulder the responsibility.

But now, where can they go?

Lin Wanchu, Lu Xue, Yu Hansheng, Cheng Cuo, and Chi Miaomiao pushed open the door and arrived at the same time.

When the few remaining players arrived, including Bai Xiaoyu whose face was covered in bloodstains, no one knew what he had gone through.

Jiang Qi and Lu Zhicai arrived late.

Like many players and viewers in the live stream, Jiang Qi's appearance was quite unexpected.

Bai Xiaoyu was shocked and rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Jiang Qi was indeed standing right in front of him.

No, no, he must be dreaming.

Impossible, impossible! He was dead beyond dead, how could he possibly come back to life?

Bai Xiaoyu comforted herself in this way.

Jiang Qi did not immediately return to his teammates, but simply nodded to them one by one.

He then walked straight toward Bai Xiaoyu.

To be precise, it is the location of Yu Zhi behind Bai Xiaoyu.

Everyone dispersed around Jiang Qi, none of them daring to approach him.

Bai Xiaoyu looked terrified and involuntarily took a few steps back.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qi didn't even spare him a glance.

As Yu Zhi and Qing Qing brushed past Bai Xiaoyu, still looking bewildered, they saw Jiang Qi secretly slip a note into their pockets.

Perhaps all the surviving players were here, so they were all teleported back to the dressing room.

At that moment, Yu Zhi opened the note.

The paper contained only four words, written neatly: "Go to the ticket office."

The handwriting on it gradually overlapped with what I remembered.

Jiang Qi is that man in black robes? The man in black robes is Jiang Qi?

There was no time to think further; Qi An's condition no longer allowed her to delay any longer.

Yu Zhi gritted her teeth and carried Qi An on her back, running all the way to the castle gate, with Qing Qing following closely behind.

As Yu Zhi ran, her mind kept racing.

Why did he send us to the ticket office? Isn't the ticket office only responsible for selling amusement park tickets?

That doesn't seem right; you can get a refund at the ticket office too.

She got it!

Once the tickets are sold, all ownership belongs to the tourists.

As long as the ticket hasn't been used yet, there's a chance you can get a refund from the ticket seller.

Moreover, Monster Guild was the first to complete all the attractions, making them the undisputed number one.

The system stated that only one team can win.

Conversely, does this mean that aside from the first-place team, all the other teams' participation in the activities is disregarded?

It's as if they never actually went on any of the rides at the amusement park.

What Jiang Qi wanted to tell them was: where it began, it should end.

Now they have to take this ticket back to the ticket office where they came to get a refund!

Jiang Qi took out his already moldy ticket and smiled brightly as he looked at the entrance.

Miss Rabbit and the others were too busy taking care of themselves to stop Yu Zhi and the others from heading to the ticket office.

The moldy ticket was easily broken in his hands; with a gentle crunch, it crumbled into tiny snowflakes that fell to the floor.

The moldy tickets are the only evidence that they visited the place.

Now, he should settle accounts with Bai Xiaoyu.

Yu Hansheng and Cheng Cuo lifted the curtain, and what came into view was Jiang Qi sweeping his leg and kicking Bai Xiaoyu to the ground.

Lu Zhi stood at a distance and did not join in.

Lin Wanchu, Lu Xue, and Chi Miaomiao also leaned to one side, looking like they were enjoying the show.

Chi Miaomiao took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket and waved them in front of the two of them.

Lu Xue's eyes lit up, and she raised her hands as if to hold a cup, letting the melon seeds fall with a clatter.

Lin Wanchu looked at Chi Miaomiao with amusement, "Miaomiao, you've gone astray."

The three of them then openly and legitimately started eating sunflower seeds.

Jiang Qi looked down at Bai Xiaoyu with his eyes lowered, and stepped on Bai Xiaoyu's fragile neck with one foot.

Bai Xiaoyu's face flushed red as his breath was stolen away in an instant.

"If I could, I shouldn't have saved you in the first place."

"I was thinking that if you don't cause any more trouble after you're reborn, I might let you die a little easier."

"It's a pity that you're like a clown, always doing dirty tricks behind people's backs."

"I feel that only by torturing you to death can I relieve the hatred in my heart."

In his previous life, he was poor at judging people and failed to notice Bai Xiaoyu's ulterior motives.

Perhaps they were conscious, but were still erased by force majeure.

I can only blame myself for my lack of experience, which led me to easily entrust my sincerity and trust to a complete stranger.

In the nightmare game, kindness and sincerity are the most foolish things.

More people gather together simply because they share common interests; once those interests cease to exist, the balance of power crumbles instantly.

Even when faced with a life-or-death decision, they might turn against each other; expecting others to treat you sincerely is ultimately a luxury.

Bai Xiaoyu then realized that Jiang Qi, like himself, had been reborn.

Panic outweighed jealousy. He grabbed Jiang Qi's ankle and pleaded, "Please, let me go."

With her other hand, she extended four fingers as if swearing, saying, "I swear, I will never appear in front of you again. Please let me go. I know I was wrong."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qi's expression eased slightly, and he loosened his grip a bit, no longer pressing down on his feet.

Bai Xiaoyu was secretly delighted, unable to bear the ridicule.

"Hmph, stop with that pushover act. Who are you trying to impress with that haughty air?"

He remained silent, but tears welled up in his eyes, revealing his true feelings.

"I promise, I really..."

Jiang Qi interrupted him, and said quietly.

"Get your dirty hands off me, I find them disgusting."

Bai Xiaoyu obediently removed her hand.

"Okay, okay, I'll take it away."

Just when Bai Xiaoyu thought he could escape Jiang Qi's clutches...

Jiang Qi released his foot, and to Bai Xiaoyu's astonishment, he turned his toe and stepped on the hand that had sworn the oath, crushing it mercilessly.

Bai Xiaoyu screamed repeatedly. Jiang Qi leaned down, his smile like a blooming poppy, beautiful yet hiding a deadly poison.

"You expect me to be soft-hearted? Use your pig brain and think about what kind of person I am."

Bai Xiaoyu never truly knew what the real Jiang Qi was like.

He was born with cold and ruthless blood flowing through his veins, devoid of humanity.

In his previous life, Jiang Qi only focused on completing dungeons and earning points, never letting any person or ghost escape.

This is a fact that Bai Xiaoyu should have known long ago.

He still naively believed that he could completely manipulate Jiang Qi by having a broken cheat system, based on that bloody lesson.

Bai Xiaoyu coughed up a mouthful of blood, and Jiang Qi disgustedly dodged away.

His eyes were filled with jealousy and resentment.

If he could do it all over again, he would still stop at nothing to take everything from Jiang Qi, including his most cherished friend.

How pathetic, yet he calls himself a savior.

Unable to even protect his own friends, he repeatedly falls into the abyss.

Unfortunately, Bai Xiaoyu never had a chance to start over.

Jiang Qi wouldn't kill Bai Xiaoyu with a single blow; that would be too easy on him.

Moreover, the fact that Bai Xiaoyu's soul is immortal makes it easier for Jiang Qi to torture him.

He thought he could escape this calamity by dying, but Jiang Qi wanted him to never be reborn after death. He was trapped in the Soul-Locking Bottle and tortured day and night until he begged for mercy.

The atmosphere in the live stream room was completely different.

"I love it. I wish his feet were on my neck. It feels so good."

"Someone, get out of the upstairs area."

"Bitter Tea Zifeifei, do you have no one left in the world you care about? Why do you keep spouting such nonsense?"

In that instant, the player who typed the first line felt a chill run down their spine.

The screen in front of me suddenly began to flicker violently without any warning.

This scene is exactly the same as the scene in the Japanese horror film "Ju-on" where Sadako slowly crawls out of the television.

The incandescent light overhead flickered as if it were malfunctioning. He couldn't help but turn around, only to find nothing there, not even a ghost.

Even though there was nothing there, he was still terrified.

So he chose to delete that line of text, and the live stream screen finally returned to normal.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, patted his rapidly beating heart, and inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew, what a scare."
