The Instance Ends

Even if it's a bizarre Request indirectly led to Sheng Qingqiao's death, she has to save him.

[Is this meant to cultivate a new kind of eeriness?]

[No, doing this will not only fail to eliminate the monster, but will also create an even more powerful one!]

[This is just a temporary excuse for rescuing people, right? It's not like we're not going to clean up the ghosts after we've rescued them, why are you getting so worked up?]

[Sheng Qingqiao and Qin Rang failed here. What exactly is going on with this Instance?]

[Qin Rang's loss of control was caused by the masked Weird Object, Sheng Qingqiao's death was caused by Qin Rang. It seems to have nothing to do with the Instance...]

[Ahhh, don't die! Don't let any of them die!]

Seeing her expectant gaze, Wang maintained his smile, "Unfortunately, I can't."

"Why!" An Ying gripped the Bamboo Umbrella tightly.

He dared not imagine what the consequences would be Sheng Qingqiao died and Qin Rang woke up and learned the truth.

"Because you've found the murderer and successfully completed the game," Wang said. "The murderer is indeed the Butler, and your father, mother, Older Sister, and brother are all alive. You've successfully achieved the ending and completed the game."

"Now that you've cleared the game, how can I give you the chance to do it Seventh Round?"

"Why not?" Bai Yang retorted, "The Rules can be modified."

This statement served as a reminder to everyone.

"Writers! There are Writers too!" the Bai Ao exclaimed immediately.

His words had barely faded when a familiar voice rang out.

"Rolling around--"

The sound of the Wheelchair turning was like heavenly music at that moment. Suddenly, a crack appeared in the previously sealed wall, and the Wheelchair rolled in the darkness.

A sickly young man slowly appeared before them.

"Cough cough cough."

Ji Fengbai coughed softly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

Bai Yang stepped forward and said, "Colleague, can you do me a favor?"

Ji Fengbai raised his hand, and the paper flew out.

Although we are both members of the Peaceful Faction, that doesn't mean I'll always be willing to save people.

"Ji Fengbai, please save him!" Wang Ding stepped forward. "Didn't the organization give us a Request Card? Let's use it now! Or whatever your conditions are, we'll definitely agree to them!"

Amidst the pleading gazes of the crowd, the Writer shook his head and slid past them.

Although he did not agree, a note drifted on the wind and landed on Sheng Qingqiao, forcibly prolonging his life for a moment.

Tao Yuan wanted to say something more, but Bai Yang stopped her.

"Wait for the Writer to finish the task."

The group looked at Sheng Qingqiao, who was hanging by a thread, and forcibly suppressed their impulses.

The Wheelchair slowly came to a stop beside Wang.

The Castle walls rippled, and the Butler reappeared beside Wang, his cane striking the ground with a dull thud.

"SS-Rank." Wang looked at him, the smile on his lips slowly fading.

Ji Fengbai nodded slightly, and a page of a book appeared behind him.

[Mr. Wang, the Judgment Office cordially invites you to join us.]

"Judgment Office?"

Wang laughed and said, "What makes you think I would join this random organization?"

Because a leader can give you the ability to be free.

[The ability to move freely without being trapped in Instance, even without leveling up or turning into Weird Object]

Everything here is fake, just your imagination. Once the people here leave, your world will remain cold and boring.

Join us, and you can have a real world.

Wang stared at those few lines of text, falling into a deep silence.

Although the Calamity Crossing Team and the live streamer couldn't see the words on the paper, they could vaguely guess what the Writer was doing.

He... is recruiting...?

Is there another mysterious figure who indirectly killed the Calamity Crossing Squad?

Even though Sheng Qingqiao wasn't killed by Wang, she still died because of him.

Tao Yuan knew that they couldn't stop the organization's ideas; the organization was never a kind and amiable helper, but a capricious judge.

Even if they did manage to recruit Wang, what could they do?

They had no choice.

But should they be asked to suppress this hatred and refrain from seeking revenge?

Impossible!

Under everyone's gaze, he raised his hand and took the book page.

You made the right decision.

"I also believe this will be the right decision," Wang said.

Seeing this, Bai Yang jogged over to the Writer and leaned in for a closer look. "Wow, another colleague! Let me see... Hmm? Are you human?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Wang shrugged. "It doesn't seem strange to me at all. The Butler is the strange one."

"No wonder the final mystery of this Instance isn't you," Bai Yang said. "The mystery behind an Instance is controlled by a human. I understand why the Master recruited you; you're quite special."

"Alright, now that we're all on the same side," Bai Yang pointed at Sheng Qingqiao, "Is there any way to do this?"

Under the hopeful gazes of the crowd, Wang walked to their side, looked at Sheng Qingqiao body had mostly dissipated and who had fallen into a coma, and shook his head. "Obviously, there's nothing I can do."

"He wasn't killed by the Rules of my Instance, and this kind of incurable wound isn't something a regular S-Rank can remove."

"I don't understand why you're all so upset," Wang said. "He's a monster, and monsters can't die."

Everyone was taken aback.

Wang waved his hand. "Alright, the Instance is over, you should all leave now."

[Instance Completed]

[Live stream has been closed]

Presumably because they had already been recruited, the Instance didn't even give a hint about ending the game; they were simply kicked out.

When Tao Yuan and the others reappeared in front of Cloud City Gate, Sheng Qingqiao did not come out with them.

Along with it came a teru teru bozu (a Sunny Doll) that had fallen to the ground.

The Sunny Doll) has only a head, with crooked black stitching along the edges, and its body is just a white strip of cloth floating empty in the air.

The edges of the fabric strips were frayed and had some loose threads, showing that the maker was very careless.

Only on that round head were two round eyes drawn with black ink, depicting a cheerful smile.

That smile looked very familiar.

An Ying silently picked up the Sunny Doll and looked at Tao Yuan.

Tao Yuan reached for the Wristband, then, remembering Qin Rang who was still under the control of the Evil Ghost Mask, forcibly suppressed her grief and said, "Let's go back first."

After the Instance ended, the sky above the Ancient Castle Instance visibly cleared up, and the entire Ancient Castle was transformed, ready to welcome its true Master.

Lin Nieran stepped through the Garden, crossed the river, and arrived at the ancient Ancient Castle.

"Father!" Wang immediately moved closer, but Moonlit Night, who was following behind Lin Nieran, immediately reached out and pushed his head back forcefully.
