Congratulations, You Picked the Strongest One

It was still a long stairwell, but the surrounding furnishings had been turned upside down.

It was as if everything in the stairwell was upside down, like Mirror World within a mirror.

"Hmm... does this count as an attack?"

Looking around, Qingyi seemed slightly puzzled by the Black Rabbit Doll she was holding.

"In that case, let's hurry and rescue Prince Your Highness!"

The Rabbit raised its hand in protest, its words revealing considerable dissatisfaction.

"Having Prince Your Highness hold me is clearly the best choice, so why do you always try to steal my love away? Before too..."

"It's clearly you, this newcomer, causing trouble! At least have some self-awareness!! I will absolutely not let you get close to him, absolutely not!!"

With a dark expression, Qingyi reached out and lifted the Rabbit in her arms to her eyes.

"The Shadow Guard can sense his condition for me; I care about him more than you do, so please don't..."

"Talking to her own doll? She really is an adorable Angel..."

Suddenly, a faint voice echoed in the stairwell.

"You must be feeling terrified right now, right? Don't worry, we have plenty of time. Now, just enjoy yourself, enjoy this... bloody and terrifying feast I'm about to bring you..."

"Time Stop? A body double?"

Unconsciously adopting a defensive stance, the fat man's expression turned serious as he looked at the figure above the stairs.

"But I don't think anyone would be so bored as to use a Stand to move me back down the stairs during Time Stop, right? Your ability isn't just..."

"Controlling the stairs, right?"

Interrupting the other person's words, Bai Zhi chuckled softly, and the Silver White Pistol slid into his palm.

"In that case, you should come and experience it for yourself... THEWORLD!!"

"!!!"

The instant the other person uttered those words, even though the fat man had tried his best to keep his eyes fixed on the other person, in that instant, the figure that should have been standing on the stairs and above the books had disappeared, and then, a cold gun barrel was pressed against his temple.

"Fatty, you have one last chance."

Bai Zhi pointed the Radiance at the other person's head, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"My patience has its limits. If you continue to provoke me, the next time Time Stop, you'll be a pile of minced meat in this stairwell."

"..."

Glancing sideways at the figure that had silently appeared beside him without him noticing, a bead of cold sweat involuntarily rolled down the fat man's forehead.

... The ability to control the stairs? That's utter nonsense!!

He was absolutely certain that he hadn't left the other person's sight for even half a second, but in the blink of an eye, the other person appeared beside him with a gun. If it wasn't some kind of Time Stop, how did the other person manage to do all this?

The Stand "World," capable of stopping time, has actually been acquired by Player— a truly outrageous ability... Is it a powerful figure within the Relevant Department?

If the other party hadn't been trying to extract information from me, I probably would have been killed long ago during the time-stopping period...

Although he was confident in his regenerative abilities and carried Protective Gear, and even knew he could unleash his full combat potential in close combat... what could he do against a Monster capable of stopping time at will?

No matter how fast I am, can I outrun the speed at which my opponent can stop time with a single thought? Right now, I still have a chance to live, but if they attack again, I might not even know how I died...

In an instant, countless thoughts raced through the fat man's mind.

No one is unafraid of death, especially Fallen Player like them who willingly transform themselves; they cherish their Life even more than Normal Player.

It wasn't that he wasn't trying, but rather that the opponent he chose was far too powerful. How was he supposed to fight against a Terrifying Existence who could stop time and move freely within that stopped time?

Not everyone is as invincible as A Qiang; he doesn't have a Platinum Star photocopier...

"Three seconds, three, two..."

"I... I surrender."

Hearing the increasingly cold words and sounds of books around him, and the Countdown that sounded like a death knell, the fat man's legs finally gave way, and he knelt on the ground.

"We accidentally discovered that this hotel constantly generates new Player, so we plan to turn these new Player into one of us... Really, I didn't do anything, and I've never really harmed anyone!!"

"Turning new Player into your Fallen Player?"

After hearing the fat man's answer, Bai Zhi couldn't help but frown deeply.

"No, that's right, this is the boss's plan."

Swallowing hard, the fat man hurriedly began to speak.

"There are five of us. One person and I are responsible for guarding the stairs, one person is responsible for guarding the elevator, and the leader and the last person are responsible for converting the new Player into one of us. This stairwell has been sealed off by another person using a gadget, which is why your companions..."

"Huh? You've already resolved things on your end?"

Before the fat man could finish speaking, a small opening suddenly appeared in the stairwell in front of him, and a tattered object was thrown out of the opening like trash and rolled down in front of him.

Then, right after, a White-haired loli holding a black Rabbit Doll stepped out of the opening.

"..."

Seeing the unrecognizable figure that had rolled down in front of him, the fat man shuddered violently, and the last shred of hope in his heart vanished without a trace.

He recognized the guy in front of him; he was even stronger than him. The guy was the one who controlled the device that separated the stairwell. He loved destroying things that looked good, and he was quite a nasty character.

But now, he almost didn't recognize the other person.

What's most terrifying is that the left half of the person's body has turned into a doll, while the right half remains flesh and blood, resulting in a bizarre and grotesque appearance. The person's current state is truly grotesque, a living hell.

Suddenly, the fat man felt a chill run through his body.

What terrifying entity have we provoked?

"What a pity, I was just about to come and help you..."

She pursed her lips, seemingly quite displeased, and walked a few steps to Bai Zhi's side. Qingyi looked at the fat man kneeling on the ground beside her.

"Should we take him out while we're at it?"

"Never mind, I'm in a bit of a rush. To be honest, I'm more worried about what might happen up there..."

Bai Zhi gently pressed his forehead, then reached out and took the hand of the White-haired loli beside him.

"The Shadow Guard has found the room; let's go together."
