Horror games? Whatever, I'll die.

His body's instincts made him struggle, but no matter how much he pushed Louis, the other man remained unmoved.

Like a cold-blooded execution machine.

The words were squeezed out of his throat with difficulty, "Let...let me go..."

Louisiana loosened his grip considerably and approached him with great interest, saying, "Is it a little too late to beg for mercy now?"

"Are you planning to pull some kind of trick?"

“I was thinking… I was thinking…” Liang Zaibing struggled to utter each word, “or you should just die first!”

Just as Liang Zaibing was struggling, her hand happened to be near Louis Sheng's head, instantly activating the cursed item "Family Portrait".

By the time Louis realized something was wrong, it was too late. A powerful and strange force surged from Liang Zaibing's palm and irresistibly took over his brain.

Consciousness disappeared.

Louis's eyes became vacant, and his body stiffened and he lost control.

Convinced that her plan had succeeded, Liang Zaibing leaned against the railing and gasped for breath.

-----

When Liang Zaibing stepped onto the stage, Eleven told himself that he could control the consciousness of others. To conceal his identity, the soul could not be directly manifested, so it had to be directly touched to the head to trigger the control.

He used this ability to control the ghosts of other teachers and students when he was at Wude Academy.

There are many variables involved, and the success rate is not high, but this is his only chance to break the deadlock.

In the first half of the dungeon, he only needed to forget all his plans and dutifully play the role of a caged beast struggling to survive.

When Louis gets tired of this cat-and-mouse game and kills him with his own hands, that will be his chance.

In order to increase his chances of winning, Liang Zaibing even used his useless talent skill.

Although Louisiana did not truly let him go, he relaxed his strength and defenses, so it was a barely successful outcome.

Arrogance is both his strength and his weakness, which is why someone as insignificant as himself can seize the opportunity to turn the tables.

Looking back, Liang Zaibing still felt extremely lucky; if it happened again, she probably wouldn't have been so fortunate.

Liang Zaibing didn't rest for long. She gripped the enchanted razor blade she had obtained from the store and used all her strength to slash his carotid artery.

Blood gushed out.

Even such an inhuman monster will die if it bleeds out.

Looking at the gradually cooling corpse on the ground, Liang Zaibing wiped the blood splattered on her face and smiled happily.

Sun Shuo put on a fierce expression, but his bravado masked his cowardice as he waved his fist at Lin Yisen, "If you don't want to die a horrible death, you'd better give up resisting."

Lin Yisen, still looking like a trembling coward, turned and ran away.

Sun Shuo subconsciously chased after him and caught up with Lin Yisen in just a few seconds. Just as he was about to reach out and grab him, he suddenly felt a shower of sparkling fine sand coming towards him and spraying him all over.

itch.

A piercing itch that spreads from the depths of one's soul.

It felt like countless worms were crawling and wriggling deep inside his skin. The sensation was even more intense in his eyes, which were in direct contact with the fine sand. Scratching alone couldn't relieve the itch. He scratched harder and harder, almost gouging his eyeballs out.

Lin Yisen pulled out a small notebook from somewhere and started sketching something on the paper while observing Sun Shuo's actions.

"The 3rd generation Jade Face Sand... the side effect of itching was not reduced compared to the previous generation, and the expected effect of skin breakdown and regeneration was not observed."

"Sigh, it failed again. Where did things go wrong this time?"

"You, who are you?"

Sun Shuo's eyes were now completely filled with fear.

He wouldn't be so afraid if it were just poison, but the expression on Lin Yisen's face now frightened him.

The same look in the eyes as the researchers at Institute D.

An endless indifference to life, and a fanatical pursuit of experimental results.

Sun Shuo struggled to his feet, scratching his skin frantically, and staggered away into the distance.

Lin Yisen certainly couldn't just watch the little white mouse he had finally caught escape. In an instant, he burst forth with a speed several times faster than before and grabbed Sun Shuo's collar.

"Why are you running? I still need to give you the antidote."

Although the target drug has not been developed, he is very familiar with the relevant antidote.

"Ah, no—"

Sun Shuo struggled desperately to avoid the foul-smelling, grayish-brown slime that was about to be splashed on him, but to no avail.

He quickly realized what was happening, and the pain and itching all over his body disappeared instantly.

Sun Shuo, still shaken, stepped aside and wiped away the brownish slime. But what he saw was not the bleeding skin covered in scratches, but the exposed muscle tissue.

Sun Shuo opened his mouth wide, but couldn't even let out a scream. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Lin Yisen squatted down next to him and muttered to himself, "Are young people these days all so mentally weak?"

"Forget it, it's better if she faints, so she won't disturb my drug testing."

When Lin Yisen tested the twelfth drug in the testing phase on Sun Shuo, there were less than 30 seconds left, and the other two groups also quieted down.

Lin Yisen heard Liang Zaibing's voice in his mind, "Are you alright?"

Lin Yisen glanced at Sun Shuo, who was barely breathing and whose body was covered in sores, and said, "I'm fine, but Sun Shuo..."

"...Alright, I was worried for nothing."

After hesitating for a moment, Liang Zaibing added, "The mission did not list the penalties for failure, so killing is not a necessary condition."

"What do you take me for? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would kill innocent players for such a small amount of points?"

Liang Zaibing felt a little remorse for her suspicion of the other party, "I'm sorry."

If he could see Sun Shuo's current state, he probably wouldn't think that way.

Lin Yisen rushed to fill a flask of fluorescent green reagent into Sun Shuo's mouth in the last few seconds.

Don't get me wrong, it's not about eliminating the root of the problem, it's about treating his wounds.

At the same time, Zhan Yun had just subdued Li Ziyang.

With veins bulging on her hands, she used her body weight to tightly choke the girl's throat, almost breaking her neck.

A smug look involuntarily appeared on Zhan Yun's face. "Heh heh, I'm the ultimate winner."

Suddenly, the foul-smelling hot blood splashed all over her face.

Li Ziyang bit off the tip of his tongue and coughed up mouthfuls of blood.

The toxins in her blood took effect instantly, and Zhan Yun, unable to support herself, collapsed onto Li Ziyang's thin and petite body.

Li Ziyang struggled to pry her hand off his neck and staggered out of the cage.

[Life-or-death duel mission completed, reward 1800 points, research institute rewards will be distributed later]

Liang Zaibing looked at Lin Yisen, who was completely unharmed, and raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Looks like you won very easily?"

Damn it, why don't I have that kind of luck?

Lin Yisen threw Sun Shuo down, panting heavily, "This guy is just too heavy."

Liang Zaibing glanced at Sun Shuo's miserable state and fell silent.

"I'm more curious about how you beat Louisson."

"The process was a bit complicated, but in the end, I managed to win by using a cursed item."

Lin Yisen's eyes widened immediately. "You're saying you used a cursed object? How is that possible? The offerings for cursed objects are at least an arm or half a leg, right?"
