Chapter 123 [Slaying the Secret Realm Master] (8600 words)
"Then... where is his Substitute Doll!" The black-haired girl suddenly remembered something and asked sharply.
The white-clad puppet answered first: "The sacrifice is for the great Secret Realm Master! The sacrificer must be filled with piety and gratitude! How can there be cheating in a sacrifice to the great Secret Realm Master?
So in the final phase, the rules of the Secret Realm forbid the use of any life-saving Magical Artifacts!"
The old man Kudai nodded and said: "Your father knew he was definitely going to die, and that’s why he gave me the Substitute Doll... He asked me to take care of you after his death... that is what happened!"
The black-haired girl’s body trembled uncontrollably.
Suddenly, Chu Keqing spoke, shouting: "Don’t believe him, he’s lying to you!"
"..." The black-haired girl’s body shook, she abruptly raised her head, the red eyes hidden behind her hair stared at Chu Keqing: "What did you say?"
The old man Kudai said sternly: "Hey! Don’t talk nonsense! What I’m saying is the truth!!"
But Chu Keqing was not afraid of Kudai at all, she said coldly: "If you’re telling the truth, then why haven’t you said anything all along—if things were that simple! Besides, you always show a bit of guilt, where does this emotion come from?"
A trace of anger appeared on the old man Kudai’s face, his face flushing red, he shouted loudly: "Dragon Country woman! What nonsense are you talking about! You didn’t experience the last time..."
"Let me ask." Chen Yan looked at the white-clad puppet: "During the time we are discussing the drawing order, can I kill someone? For example, if I kill my competitor, then..."
A smile appeared on the stiff face of the white-clad puppet: "We said the Secret Realm Master does not support guests killing each other—but it also doesn’t oppose or interfere."
Chen Yan nodded: "I understand."
He looked at the black-haired girl: "Do you understand?"
The black-haired girl was stunned.
Chen Yan sighed and said coldly: "According to what you said, in the last round last time, you were seriously injured and unconscious, I can boldly guess that at that time, your father wasn’t doing well either, he was injured, right?"
"You, how can you guess like that..." Kudai retorted loudly.
"Is it difficult to guess? If according to what you said, her father died voluntarily to give his daughter a chance to live... then it means, he is a father who loves his daughter very much!
If he is such a loving father, how can he be unscathed when his daughter is seriously injured and unconscious in the previous battle?"
The black-haired girl immediately nodded: "That’s right, my father was indeed injured before me that time."
Chen Yan looked at the white-clad puppet: "Can you tell the truth of what happened then?"
The white-clad puppet remained silent, just quietly looking at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan squinted and smiled, then shouted without looking back: "Hey!! That Meat Mountain thing! The rules you set, isn’t it just to provoke a fight among us guests?
Let this puppet tell the truth! You will see a good show, how about it?"
After a moment of silence, the Meat Mountain Monster made a "ghul ghul" sound in its throat, followed by two "wu wu" sounds.
The white-clad puppet immediately nodded.
It slowly stepped forward and then said loudly:
"You are already injured! You are not my opponent! Either I kill you now and also kill your daughter! Or, you go and take that Sacrificial Stick yourself! I can swear on my Shikigami, I will definitely spare your daughter’s life and not harm her at all!"
After speaking, the white-clad puppet glanced at Chen Yan: "These were the words at that time, I’m done."
And the black-haired girl screamed, pointing at Kudai: "Baka yarou!!!"
Kudai roared angrily, yelling at the white-clad puppet.
Seeing the black-haired girl rushing towards Kudai, Chen Yan stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve.
"Want revenge? Then do as I say!" A Talisman already slapped on the girl by Chen Yan, he said coldly: "Kudai deserves to die, but the thing that ate your father... is it!"
Saying so, Chen Yan pointed to the Meat Mountain.
The black-haired girl was still trembling but stopped moving.
"If you help me, I will help you!" Chen Yan said determinedly: "Deal?"
The black-haired girl’s hands trembled, but she nodded vigorously!
The reason Chen Yan helped the black-haired girl expose Kudai’s lie at this time is very simple!
Anyway, he already planned to overturn the table and kill the Secret Realm Master! It makes no difference whether he is the sacrificer or not.
In the end, he will have to overturn the table and start a fight!
And the black-haired girl is worth recruiting!
Because her father died in the Secret Realm! A girl who wants to avenge her father, Chen Yan believed, if they fought the Secret Realm Master in the end, this girl would definitely make a move! Whether or not she draws the stick—her father was eaten by the Secret Realm Master! Such a death, as a daughter who loves her father, how could she accept it?!
The black-haired girl is absolutely worth recruiting as a teammate!
Of course, there’s another reason: You help me, I help you!
During the room exchange session before the third night, this girl told Chen Yan all the key information without reservation.
Especially, her information allowed Chen Yan to easily score a point in the game session.
This point is very important!
The old lady had taught Chen Yan, as a person, one should repay grievances with grievances, and kindness with kindness!
