Transformed into a pink fairy, I will make all the players cry with my sword

As soon as Sister Ling finished speaking, the sounds of groping and bumping echoed in the darkness.

The two split up, using their hands instead of their eyes in this absolute darkness to explore the boundaries of this cage inch by inch.

Cold walls, stacked crates, scattered debris.

They searched every corner and every crevice, trying to find any opening other than the door.

However, the result was devastating.

This place is a completely enclosed iron box. The only ventilation opening is high up and welded shut by thick iron bars, so you can't even stick your hand out.

The only way out is through that door.

Outside the door stood two women more terrifying than the monstrous beast.

"Hold!"

A-Que slammed his fist against the cold wall, making a dull thud.

She was breathing heavily, and her arrogant and reckless nature was reignited by despair.

"Sister Ling, there's no other way! Let's fight them!"

Her voice carried a reckless, defiant tone.

"We're going to die anyway, might as well take one of them down with us! I refuse to believe they're made of iron!"

In the darkness, Sister Ling did not respond immediately.

After a long while, her tired and hoarse reply finally came through.

"We can't compete."

These three words are simple and direct, yet they are so heavy that they make it hard to breathe.

"Didn't you see? That red-haired woman... she took care of both of us in an instant. We didn't even have time to react. In her eyes, we were no different from newborn babies."

Sister Ling's words were like a bucket of ice water, extinguishing the last glimmer of hope in Aque's heart.

Yes... that incredible speed, that precise and ruthless attack. That's simply beyond their capabilities to contend with.

"What should I do?"

For the first time, A-Que's voice carried a sob; her arrogance was completely shattered, leaving only helplessness and fear.

"Could it be... could it be that one of us is really going to die...?"

She cursed viciously, pounding her fists haphazardly on the cargo boxes beside her.

"Those two bitches! What right do they have! What right do they have to treat us like this!"

The curses gradually turned into suppressed sobs.

Having struggled for so long in this wasteland, they had escaped the monstrous beasts and guarded against the hearts of men, yet they were to die at the hands of their own sisters in this most absurd and humiliating way.

Silence fell again in the storage room, broken only by A-Que's intermittent sobs.

After an unknown amount of time, Aque suddenly stopped crying.

She seemed to have made up her mind, and spoke in the darkness.

"Sis... how about I do it?"

“You are smarter and calmer than me. You can live a better life on your own without me as a burden.”

"After you leave, forget about me. Live well..."

She hasn't finished speaking yet.

In the darkness, a figure moved without warning.

Using her memory of the environment, Sister Ling precisely approached Aque's side, her hands forming a knife-like shape, and delivered a clean and decisive heavy chop to the back of Aque's neck!

"Well……"

Ah Que only managed to let out a muffled groan before her body went limp and she completely lost consciousness.

Sister Ling helped her up and gently laid her down on the ground.

In the darkness, her face was obscured, but the heaving of her chest betrayed her inner turmoil.

She stood there for a very long time, so long that she seemed to turn into a statue.

In the end, she did not pick up the dagger that Tao Yao had thrown on the ground.

She turned around, took a deep breath, and resolutely pushed open the door that separated life and death.

"Squeak-"

The door was pushed open, and the warm yellow light from the emergency lights outside instantly flooded in, making Sister Ling's shadow appear long and thin.

Tao Yao and Fei Ying remained seated on the wooden crate not far away, waiting quietly.

Seeing that only Sister Ling came out, Tao Yao's sweet smile remained unchanged.

She even glanced into the storage room with great interest and saw Aque lying unconscious on the ground.

"Why, you can't do it?"

Tao Yao tilted her head, her voice sweet and soft, but the words she uttered were extremely nasty.

"Well, there's nothing we can do then. It seems you'll all have to die here together."

Ling Jie's body tensed up. She stared intently at Tao Yao, almost squeezing out a few words through clenched teeth.

"Let Aque go, I'll stay."

She tried to negotiate with the devil.

"Isn't your rule that only one of you can live? If she lives and I die, isn't that the same?"

After hearing this, Tao Yao seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. She covered her mouth with her hand and let out a soft, silvery laugh.

"No, that won't work."

She smiled and shook her finger, her innocent demeanor radiating a chilling malice.

"What I'm saying is, you have to 'take action against each other,' and only the one who survives can leave. Voluntary sacrifice, or sacrifices that I can't see happening, don't count."

Sister Ling fell completely silent.

She knew that any verbal explanations or pleas would be useless in front of this woman who was wicked to the core.

She also knew that even if Ah Que, that fool, were to die, he would never lay a hand on her.

And I... can't do that either.

So, there really is only one path left.

The fish died and the net broke.

Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance!

The moment that thought flashed through her mind, Sister Ling moved!

She channeled all her strength into her legs, and like a cannonball, she lunged towards Tao Yao, who was closest to her! She was willing to risk her life to give her sister a chance to survive!

However, she was fast, but someone was faster than her!

Just as she leaned forward, a red figure appeared like a ghost in front of Tao Yao.

Fei Ying didn't even get up; she just sat on the wooden box, casually raised one leg, and lightly touched Ling Jie's abdomen with her toe.

Bang!

There was a muffled sound.

Ling Jie's forward momentum came to an abrupt halt. The seemingly fierce force was easily neutralized by Fei Ying's feet. She flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground, following in A Que's footsteps, and immediately lost consciousness.

Fei Ying stood up, walked over, and dragged the unconscious Ling Jie into the storage room, placing her next to A Que.

After doing all this, she clapped her hands and walked back to Tao Yao's side.

“It seems we can’t bring ourselves to do it.” Fei Ying said, looking at the two unconscious girls in the storage room. “According to you, they passed the test, which means we have no choice but to release them.”

Upon hearing this, Tao Yao merely sighed softly, her expression suggesting she found the outcome quite uninteresting.

"pity……"

She rested her chin on her hand, looking rather dejected.

However, just when Fei Ying thought the matter was over, Tao Yao suddenly seemed to have thought of something fun, and her clear eyes lit up again.

"Fei Ying."

"Ok?"

"How about... we take them in?"

This sudden suggestion left Hiyori completely stunned.

She looked at Tao Yao with some confusion, completely unable to follow the other's train of thought.

"Why? We're already struggling to feed two people, what use would it be to take in two more burdens?"

Upon hearing her question, Tao Yao's smile grew even brighter, revealing a hint of undisguised cunning.

"Of course, we'd take them in as servants, subordinates, students, anything is fine."

She looked at the puzzled Fei Ying with a smile and slowly added.

"after all……"

"Didn't Sister Ling say it herself? They are willing to be slaves and do anything for us to atone for their sins."

This explanation sounds reasonable, even self-evident.

But looking at Tao Yao's excited and trouble-seeking appearance, Fei Ying felt that... this bad woman was not trying to atone for her sins at all.

She was clearly looking for new amusement for herself.
