Zhou Xinyu ran as fast as she could, but the Executioner behind her was getting closer and closer.
The difference in their physical abilities was too great; even if she tried her best, she couldn't possibly shake off the Executioner behind her.
This is simply impossible.
They thought it would be a simple Instance, but they had only been Instance for a short time, and now she was all alone.
She watched as her companions died one by one before her eyes, and in extremely cruel ways.
Why is this happening? What did they do wrong?
Zhou Xinyu felt like she was going crazy. She never imagined that she would encounter such a monstrous BOSS in the Instance.
The Instance I've been through before, even if I might have been killed, were never this brutal.
Not long ago, she thought death was the most terrifying thing, but this boss changed her mind.
Death, sometimes, can be a relief.
Even though she didn't want to die at all.
The Executioner was only four or five meters away from her. At this moment, the Executioner slowed down and followed her slowly.
Zhou Xinyu felt an even stronger sense of urgency.
Fear kept rising in her heart, and she was almost going crazy.
She understood that the Executioner wasn't unable to catch her, but rather simply didn't want to kill her now.
It's like a cat playing with a mouse.
But Zhou Xinyu still couldn't give up, because she knew how terrifying the Executioner was.
If she is caught, she will suffer the same fate as her companions.
The stalemate continued for an unknown amount of time, until Zhou Xinyu felt her energy was about to be completely depleted.
She couldn't run much longer, but the Executioner was still close behind her.
Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and let out a desperate scream.
Continuing like this is pointless; she will eventually have to accept her fate.
But she simply didn't have that kind of courage.
"While there's still a chance, why don't you just end it all?"
As Zhou Xinyu pondered this, she took a sharp steel nail from her inventory.
If you insert this thing into your brain, you will die instantly.
There won't be much pain.
After hesitating for a long time, she kept gesturing with the steel nails on her body, but in the end she still didn't take that step.
She just couldn't bring herself to do it. She didn't want to die at all; suicide takes so much courage.
But she soon paid the price for her cowardice.
Because the Executioner stood in front of her, staring at her with cold, sinister eyes.
Feeling those eyes, she almost collapsed to the ground.
The Executioner before her was the most terrifying Demon she had ever seen in her life.
Looking at the scythe, she knew that soon she would be dragged into that suffocating Execution Chamber.
But once the Executioner takes action, it will be infinitely more cruel than if she did it herself.
"No, please, please let me go!"
She pleaded with the Executioner before her.
But such pleas were meaningless. As the scythe was about to fall on her, she cried out again in despair.
Please, let me kill myself!
The scythe stopped, and she was not dragged into the Execution Chamber.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
But this didn't last long.
"Fine, then take your own life!" the Executioner said in a cold voice.
Shen Hao felt that this woman was quite sensible; she didn't commit suicide on her own, and she knew whose life she belonged to.
More importantly, this woman had many opportunities to end her own life, but she didn't, which shows that she didn't want to commit suicide.
Since that's the case, let's give her the chance to commit suicide.
He likes to make others do things they don't want to do.
Hearing the Executioner's voice, Zhou Xinyu felt incredulous.
Surprisingly, the Executioner agreed to her request so easily.
But since the Executioner had agreed, she had no choice but to kill herself.
If she doesn't dare to do that, she will face even more terrifying torment than her teammates.
But she held the steel nail in her hand, unable to bring herself to do it.
She tried several times, each time stopping just as the steel nail touched her skin.
She was on the verge of a breakdown; this was just too difficult!
"Please let me go?" Zhou Xinyu pleaded, her tone incredibly humble.
"Let me go, I won't pose a threat to you, absolutely not."
I will leave your territory tomorrow—no, not tomorrow, but now! I'll leave right now, please let me go!
If you don't want me to leave, I'm willing to be your servant, just please spare me!
I really don't want to die!
"No!" the Executioner said coldly.
If you don't want to die, then you have no choice but to die.
Zhou Xinyu's last glimmer of hope was extinguished. She tried the steel nail in her hand again, but still couldn't bring herself to actually do it.
The Executioner's cold gaze fell on her again, and he tapped the ground with the scythe in his hand once more.
His meaning was very clear.
If you don't do it yourself, he will.
But once the Executioner makes his move, the outcome changes completely.
Zhou Xinyu's face was extremely pale; she couldn't bear the result of the Executioner personally taking action.
At that moment, she almost burst into tears!
But this is the path she chose, and she has to keep going, even if she's crying.
She looked again at the Executioner before her, a terrifying and incredibly powerful figure.
She gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind.
Having fallen to such a state, what else can she do?
She was filled with utter despair.
She gripped the steel nail tightly in her hand again, let out a fierce roar, and then plunged the nail directly into her temple.
Her body collapsed, her eyes filled with despair and resentment.
"Your prey chose suicide out of despair and fear, and you gained 1000 points of Fear Points."
While following behind Zhou Xinyu, he also gained a considerable amount of Fear Points.
Adding the current 1000 points, he has a total of 1600 Fear Points.
This is one of the reasons why he allowed Zhou Xinyu to commit suicide.
It hadn't even been half a day since they entered the Instance, and all the prey was already dead, leaving Shen Hao with a sense of emptiness.
Everything ended too quickly; it wasn't enough for him to enjoy it.
Now that the hunting mission is complete, he should move on to another mission.
Kill the usurper who claims to be a god.
He didn't know how powerful that goddess was, but Shen Hao was full of confidence.
This was the first time he had truly faced a deity, albeit a false one, a self-proclaimed pseudo-god.
But it's still a very important moment.
Just as he was about to head to the location of the cage, the system notification sounded.
"Someone has entered the Instance through illegitimate means; your hunting quest will continue."
Slaughter them all, let them experience the terror of Demons.
Note: They entered this world illegally, and once you kill them, they cannot be resurrected!
Upon hearing that they couldn't be resurrected, Shen Hao became excited, since the people he had killed before wouldn't die.
Despite being Demon, he never actually killed anyone in the Instance.
Now he can begin the real killing spree.
This is indeed something to look forward to.
