[Please answer the question.]
After a brief mental freeze, Xie Antong's brain started operating at lightning speed. She pondered this question in her mind, unsure what aspect of the Eighteen Levels of Hell this problem was related to.
This was way too abstract!
"Who is this 'he' you're referring to? Are there any requirements for my following answer?"
While thinking, Xie Antong quickly spoke out loud, wanting to buy just a little more time to gather additional information.
But the game naturally wouldn't allow her to stall for time, nor was it willing to provide any information. What appeared in the room was a terrifying sound.
[Five!]
[Four!]
......
Xie Antong: ?
It actually started counting down directly!
She knew this must be related to the relevant rules, and this game-controlling referee currently had absolutely no gaming ethics.
The other party had chosen to start a forced elimination directly using the information gap in the rules, without explaining anything at all!?
Wait, wasn't this... a bit too impatient?
Rather than making everyone kill each other, this behavior seemed more like it actively wanted to find ways to kill everyone!
[: Who? What love? Why is there zero information? Did I miss a segment?]
[: Don't know, never paid attention to private lives. If I had to say who had any connection with "Blank," it would probably be "Sin."]
[: No idea. Why does this round of their game have me completely confused?]
The players outside the game also couldn't understand what was happening. The events occurring in each room left everyone quite bewildered.
But before you could say "quick," the game didn't give Xie Antong much time to think and summarize.
Seeing the countdown about to end.
Xie Antong instantly decided to start tapping into Pleasure's power!
What she wanted wasn't power—she wanted that state of mind.
In that instant, her eyes took on a blood-tinged aggressiveness as she smiled with a slightly sinister tone and said:
"Are you talking about that person who shot me on our wedding day?"
"Of course! I love him to death."
"What, do you have some related segment? Like forcing my compliance by torturing my lover or something similar?"
[......]
Xie Antong smiled without looking away, but at this moment, one All-Seeing Eye remained fixed on the ceiling above.
Watching the eighteen lights there, she noted that eleven had already turned red, while the rest remained unlit.
Within three seconds of her words ending, at least no new lights had turned on.
[Then, do you really want him to die?]
"If he has to die, I'd be most satisfied if he died by my hand."
Xie Antong answered rapidly, as if instantly freed from any psychological burden.
Pleasure's spirit, carrying a special couldn't-care-less attitude, made her responses feel like she was playing some variety show game.
"Are you playing some kind of Truth or Dare?"
"This way of playing is really boring. Want to try something more exciting? Not planning to have a conversation?"
The more Xie Antong spoke, the more she felt this situation was troublesome.
Because that voice wasn't responding!
So far, every Divine Messenger she'd encountered had a cat-playing-with-mouse mentality, never truly treating players as "opponents."
Therefore, they often weren't too cautious and would even actively toy with players.
Like the previous Pleasure and Lust—most cases ended up with them playing themselves into defeat because they refused to suffer minor losses and looked down on players.
But this one... was different!
He seemed very impatient, genuinely somewhat hostile toward players, and very cautious, not doing anything excessive that might allow her to find loopholes.
Tch...
The Bearded Phantom's prompt sounds kept echoing in the room. Xie Antong tried to tell the truth as much as possible, and when she could be ambiguous, she avoided giving definitive answers.
But during this process, the red lights above her head lit up one after another!
[Do you think you will win this game?]
"Of course I will!"
[......What gives you such confidence?]
"Based on my understanding of everything here."
[If only one person can truly leave here, do you think it will be you or someone else?]
"Of course it will be me!"
[If you had to choose one person to win, who would you want it to be?]
"Myself."
[......]
The game's voice asked the final questions faster and faster, then fell into silence.
Ding!
A moment later, another light turned on above her head. Xie Antong's expression began to look very unpleasant.
She coughed forcefully and injected herself with a dose of medicine.
Not for any other reason—mainly to resist Pleasure's power erosion and maintain rationality.
"Did I... just lose?"
"Did I lie?"
After the prolonged exchange and mental confrontation, she could roughly guess some things.
Why keep asking her various questions? Which hell were those questions related to?
But she later realized that perhaps the questions themselves weren't the key point. The questioning might genuinely have been just... Truth or Dare!
Had she... lied?
"Tongue-Ripping Hell..."
Xie Antong murmured with an unpleasant expression, starting to take deep breaths.
Now, when she looked at the scattered objects around her, if those things were torture devices, they only somewhat resembled tools for restraining people!
Looking up again, fourteen of the eighteen lights above had already lit up!
"Tch..."
"If I'm guessing correctly, what just happened in all the rooms should fall under the category of 'judgment of sins.'"
Most people believed that entering hell meant suffering pain and torture, but now it seemed it wasn't that direct.
It was likely that different levels of hell had different contents responsible for judging whether you had truly committed the "sins" related to that level.
If the questions were about herself, it was probably checking whether she lied, most relevant to Tongue-Ripping Hell.
She had just lost.
"Then... these lit lights should indicate how many people have already been judged guilty, right?"
"And the next step..."
"If everyone is guilty, does that mean the punishments are about to begin?"
But she was wrong.
The next second, a scream suddenly echoed through the room!
Xie Antong's whole body jolted—the scream was so realistic, as if it were happening right in her own room.
Looking up, a large screen appeared before her eyes.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
