It's not too much to say that a beauty is a little bit stronger

Xiao Huai quietly watched Yu approaching him and listened to her whisper: "Don't you just want to win? I've already told you how to win."

Her eyes turned slightly, as if traveling through space, looking somewhere in the distance at the contestants who were killing and intimidating each other.

"Did you see them?" She chuckled. "Actually, you didn't kill humans, you killed monsters. This way, your conscience will probably be at ease, right?" Her tone was indifferent, as if she didn't care at all.

They didn't kill humans, but humans who had turned into monsters.

It's like a group of players who suffer a mental breakdown and eventually fall into depravity.

Cruelty is the most original design of the game Bottom of the Sky.

"Here, every monster slaughtered is a multiple of your reward, so many people would rather stay here and kill more monsters than leave easily."

Just like Fang Tuo, he came here with great difficulty, so of course he didn’t want to leave easily.

Yu said slowly: "It only takes 24 people, twenty-four people, and you can pass the level."

Xiao Huai remained silent, with a wave of emotion between his brows, but the question he asked was something Yu had not expected.

"Why twenty-four?"

Twenty-four? What does it represent?

As the words fell, the question seemed to touch something in her. She was slightly stunned, her fists tightened silently, and her figure became more blurred.

She had already turned back to her original form, and her facial features could not be seen clearly, but at that moment, Xiao Huai actually felt her gaze, which seemed to fall on Lu Yuanshi.

Yu's voice was low, like a kind of helplessness buried deep in his heart.

"Because this place is the result of that person's undying obsession for twenty-four years."

After hearing this, Xiao Huai frowned slightly.

He wanted to leave a message: "Your enemy is not me, and I don't think you are the kind of rookie who is easily scared."

She had no interest in people like Xiao Huai. After saying that, her body disappeared into the ground, just before she disappeared.

Xiao Huai suddenly spoke up, "There's another way to pass the level, isn't there?"

Yu's figure paused slightly, as if Xiao Huai's words had touched a chord.

What other way is there? What she wants is to fill up the lake, which is why she keeps deceiving others to kill the monster that turned into a human.

Monsters can be transformed into nutrients, which is like Jingwei filling the sea, but at least it is worth seeing.

The goal is the lake, then——

What if the lake no longer exists?

She slowly turned her head, her eyes cold, but revealing a hint of complex emotions, as if she was measuring Xiao Huai's thoughts. After a moment, she sneered.

"Wishful thinking." She stared at Xiao Huai, "You underestimated the greed of the lake and the endless desire of the human heart."

Xiao Huai looked at her quietly, "The lake water is just a container."

Carrying the obsession of desire.

If there were a force that could absorb all desires and dissolve all thirsts, then the lake would calm down and there would be no more waves.

Xiao Huai had the buff of an innocent person a long time ago.

[This status grants the holder special authority to store and accumulate all resources and abilities.]

[Restrictions: If the stored and released abilities are excessively concentrated, the holder has a 50% chance of entering a debuff state, causing physical and mental overload, easily leading to weakness, loss of ability control, and even temporary loss of consciousness.]

Perhaps he was born to be this container.

Her figure paused slightly, and then she withdrew her gaze coldly, as if trying to hide the fluctuation in her heart at that moment.

"So what if that's the case?" Her figure gradually disappeared, and her voice lingered in Xiao Huai's ears like an echo under the lake: "But if you insist on trying... then go ahead."

As desire left, peace returned to the ground.

Xiao Huai returned to the lakeside and looked at the calm and deep water, which reflected his face like a dark mirror.

The ripples on the lake surface were like layers of emotions, making his figure appear and disappear from time to time.

He lowered his eyes and was about to jump into the lake when suddenly a warm hand grabbed his wrist.

He was slightly stunned and turned to look at Lu Yuanshi beside him.

They didn't speak along the way, and they couldn't speak.

But at that moment, when he looked into his eyes, Xiao Huai seemed to hear what he was saying.

As if to make him stop.

Xiao Huai looked at him for a moment, smiled faintly, and whispered, "I'll be fine, don't worry." He gently shook off Lu Yuanshi's hand, without looking back, and jumped into the lake.

The freezing cold lake water instantly surrounded him, the water pressure squeezed him from all directions, and the coldness of the lake water penetrated his skin like countless sharp thorns.

The monsters swimming in the water bared their fangs and slowly approached from a distance, like a pack of hungry hounds, locking onto their prey and ready to tear everything apart.

Even though he went deep into the water, he was not afraid at all.

The swimming figure is like a wisp of smoke in the lake, flexible and graceful.

With a casual turn, he easily avoided the attack of a monster. Then he released a diamond, which cut through the water like a sharp blade and accurately pierced its back.

The monster's huge body shook violently, and the water surface was instantly stained with dark red blood mist, surging into layers of waves.

Seeing this, the other sea monsters growled angrily, as if enraged by the smell of blood, and pounced on him in groups.

Xiao Huai dodged one by one in the water, his eyes calm and neither anxious nor impatient. Countless red diamonds formed an insurmountable barrier underwater, and any monster that approached would die.

In the water, accompanied by violent rolling, the darkness was torn apart, and blood spread at the bottom of the lake like a layer of stained mist.

Until the monsters around him were completely repelled and no longer dared to approach, Xiao Huai slowly closed his eyes.

He floated in the water, letting the cold water wrap around him. The hostility around him spread in the water like countless invisible threads, approaching him little by little.

He held his breath and concentrated, feeling the pent-up emotions at the bottom of the lake, like the accumulation of years. The despair, unwillingness, and obsession seemed to have all turned into countless black particles, flowing slowly in the water.

They silently wrapped around his limbs and sides, gradually surging towards him, trying to burrow into his skin and enter his body.

But he did not resist, his heart was calm, allowing those emotions to slowly seep into his consciousness.

As this resentment surged in, my chest grew heavier, as if I was carrying the burden of an entire world's resentment.

Faintly, he seemed to be able to feel the wills imprisoned by the lake, and every trace of hostility contained countless unfulfilled wishes and despair.

At that moment, hostility and cold despair penetrated his muscles and bones. His body trembled slightly, and his heartbeat seemed to gradually slow down with the pain, as if the rhythm of his life was swallowed up by the invisible darkness.
