This emotionless, mechanical male voice had a chilling quality to all the players' ears; it was mechanical and rigid.

The announcements for player deaths this time were quite different from before, not to mention the added message that all souls were collected, which was very meaningful.

Jiang Qi wondered if other players would connect this sentence to the fact that the dead players were not truly dead, and that their souls might have been imprisoned and exiled to other places by this nightmare game.

Jiang Qi could tell from Lu Zhi's expression that he had the same thought as him. Compared to Jiang Qi's solemn mood, Lu Zhi seemed much more relaxed.

After all, he had long anticipated that this life would be more difficult than the last, but Lu Zhi would never let Jiang Qi die like he did in the last life.

At least Lu Zhineng's accumulated power is strong enough to contend with the Nightmare Game God.

Unfortunately, due to his previous life, Lu Zhi also lost some of his power. Even so, he would rather die than let Jiang Qi live.

This system update suggests that Nightmare Game will soon see some major changes, making it at least more interesting and dangerous than the previous game.

The current update also has an advantage for Jiang Qi, since souls can be recycled.

Instead of torturing Bai Xiaoyu, it would be better to wait until his body is tortured to the point of wishing for death, and then capture his soul and torture it again.

Jiang Qi trembled uncontrollably at the thought, but his expression remained cold, his eyes dark, and the hatred and sorrow that swept over him like a storm, leaving him unable to resist.

A broad, slender hand, devoid of any warmth, rested on the back of his head, pulling him tightly into a hug before Jiang Qi could even resist.

Jiang Qi felt the familiar scent emanating from his arms; it was Lu Zhi, who had accompanied him through two dungeons.

Even in Lu Zhi's cold embrace, Jiang Qi still felt warmth.

Those hands, which would feel cold to anyone else, were especially warm on the back of Jiang Qi's head.

Jiang Qi leaned against the spot that belongs to a human heart, but he couldn't hear any heartbeat from Lu Zhi's chest.

However, Jiang Qi felt a burning pain in his heart. Even though Lu Zhi was a monster, it didn't stop him from understanding Jiang Qi's emotions.

Jiang Qi didn't care that he was in a dungeon; he was exhausted and longed for someone he could completely rely on.

Although he was a monster, a monster that appeared terrifying to others, he was incredibly cruel.

Jiang Qi had a vague idea that was about to emerge in his mind, but he wasn't quite sure about it yet.

At first, she was stunned for a moment when Lu Zhi suddenly pulled her into his arms. When she wanted to fight back, she realized that he was someone she knew and let him be.

Otherwise, Lu Zhi would already be lying on the ground. Jiang Qi hugged him for a while and started to feel awkward. He couldn't help but speak up, only to find that his voice was hoarse.

"Lu Zhi, where did you learn this from?"

Lu Zhi cleared his throat, his Adam's apple bobbing, and uttered a sentence.

"I learned it from your human books."

"The book says that hugs can relieve all bad emotions."

“I could tell that my brother was feeling a bit down, which is why I did this.”

"Brother, are you feeling better now?"

"Yes, Lu Zhi, thank you." After saying that, Jiang Qi left Lu Zhi's embrace.

Lu Zhi felt the warmth in his arms dissipate and couldn't help but gently squeeze his own hand.

She couldn't help but think how soft her brother's hair was, and how her brother was her whole being. She wanted to hide him away, to have him all to herself.
