Chapter 452
"Your Majesty, there's a Red Demon out there hunting down our whole family. Let's think about how to join forces and take her down first."
Leon now understands to some extent what those dragon kings he defeated back then felt.
It's that deep, helpless feeling at the last minute.
Ischa's intelligence, combined with her identity as a "doctor," allows her to roam freely in this game.
As a result, General Leon could only temporarily flee with his wife, trying to stay away from Ischa's killing range.
"My sister must have used the antidote they gave us to coordinate with [the Meeting End] to carry out the remote kill."
"Moreover, her identity is that of a [doctor], so the kill item card she obtained must be used in conjunction with the antidote."
"In other words... everyone who took the antidote at the beginning, without exception, will not escape my sister's pursuit. It's only a matter of time before we are killed."
Losweiser's tone was slightly heavy. Even in a game, being forced into such a situation would still leave one feeling somewhat unwilling.
"Actually, I didn't take the antidote."
"What?"
Leon took a small transparent box out of his pocket, inside which was an orange-flavored candy.
Losweiser looked at the candy. "Since you didn't eat it, how did you escape the infectious disease?"
"Let's use the Mint Herbal Tea you gave me."
Leon tossed the candy aside. "Luckily I was careful back then, otherwise I might have been stabbed during the [Meeting End Kill] just now."
"But Noa and I both took the antidote, so neither of us can get close to my sister. Her kill card will kill us instantly."
"Then... now the only one who can turn against my sister is you," Losweiser said.
The Queen is right.
Now that things have come to this, the only one who can kill the lone wolf is another lone wolf.
"But neither of us has a kill card, so how are we supposed to fight the big sister with knives?"
The problem has returned to square one.
If you want to fight desperately, you need the right tools to do so.
But General Leon is now 'unarmed' and unable to convene an 'emergency meeting' to vote Ischa out.
After all that talk, is it still about a slow death?
"Wow, Mr. Lone Wolf, please, as an independent faction, how come you didn't find a single kill card the whole game? That's so lame." Losweiser couldn't help but complain.
Speaking of which, Leon's luck was indeed quite bad.
I haven't encountered a single kill card in thirty or forty hours!
"When a person falls on hard times, they really do fall on hard times." Leon had to accept this fact.
The couple fell silent.
They must come up with a way to deal with Ischa as soon as possible, or everything will be over.
The Princess's life is in grave danger, and even her old friend cannot leave alive with the Black Holy Stone.
Everything will belong to that Red Demon, the doctor.
Tick-tock—tick-tock—
The Only One clear, audible sound came from the corner of the cellar: the dripping of water.
The cake that could directly poison the player was placed between Leon and Losweiser.
The Queen's gaze slowly fell upon it.
Suddenly, Losweiser slightly opened her pupils.
"Actually... I don't care whether I can win or not."
As she spoke, Losweiser took out her main quest card from her pocket.
"My mission is similar to Senior Claudia's. The main mission is to help the Princess retrieve the Black Holy Stone. But there is also a hidden mission, which is to leave the castle with the Black Holy Stone. That will be my true victory."
"Which ending to choose is entirely up to the player."
"But from the very beginning... I never intended to do that hidden quest, because—"
"Because you want our precious daughter to win, right?" Leon smiled, finishing the sentence for Losweiser.
Losweiser chuckled and nodded. "Yes. It's not easy for that child to get out and have fun with her sister and best friend. I want her to win, after all, Noa is very competitive."
"But now that her two sisters and best friend have been stabbed, all the pressure is on Noa," Leon said.
"Then I... want her to win even more."
"This isn't just a game, Leon," Losweiser said.
"Just imagine, years or even decades from now, when Noa looks back on this trip to the castle, she will proudly say that she saved us all in the end."
"What she gained was not just a victory, but also invaluable memories."
"I understand what you mean, Losweiser." Leon's lips curled into a smile, then he paused, glancing at the silver-haired beauty beside him.
"You're not acting like a mother anymore."
"Um?"
"More like a Mom."
Is there a difference between "mother" and "Mom"?
"Of course. Do you remember how happy Noa and Mu En were when you first got them to call you 'Mom' instead of 'Mother'?"
Losweiser paused for a moment, her thoughts drifting back to the past.
After a moment, she smiled knowingly, "I understand."
"So... you're trying to turn me, this lone wolf, into a way to buy time for you and your daughter, to stall until the meeting starts?"
Losweiser shook her head. "No, no, no, that's too risky, and..."
"And?"
She stared straight ahead, her cheeks flushing slightly.
Losweiser buried half her face in her arms, a muffled voice coming from her embrace, speaking very quickly.
"And I would never let my child's Daddy do that kind of thing."
"Could you replace 'the child's Daddy's with a two-word title?" Leon asked with a wicked grin.
No, shut up.
Losweiser rolled her eyes at him and continued, "If you promise me you'll let Noa win in the end, I'll..."
"What do you mean?"
Losweiser seemed a little embarrassed, and she beckoned to Leon with her finger.
Leon obediently moved closer.
"I will—"
After hearing this, General Leon suddenly jumped up from the ground.
"Really?"
"Real."
"Okay, actually I originally wanted to help Noa win, but I wasn't very motivated. Now that you've offered this condition, I'll put it this way—"
"Your sister must leave her life today! I'm telling you, even the Dragon God can't stop me!"
Losweiser chuckled, "Alright, alright, stop yelling and attracting my sister."
Leon sat back down. "So, based on what you just said, you've come up with a solution?"
"Um."
Losweiser picked up the poisoned cake from the ground.
"Your sister won't eat it, will she?" Leon said.
"No, it's not for my sister. It's... for me to eat."
The top floor of the castle, the long corridor.
Noa was cornered in front of a wooden door by her "Red Demon" aunt.
The wooden door was locked from the other side and could not be opened.
"Oh dear, Princess, there's no road ahead!"
Ischa held a kill card in her hand, the effect of which was:
It can kill players within a five-meter radius who have consumed the [Doctor's] secret antidote.
She used the card to gently shimmer in the breeze, slowly approaching Noa, who had nowhere to retreat.
Noa had never thought her aunt was so "terrible".
Goodness gracious, Xiao Guang, you absolutely must never go to your aunt's Red Dragon Sanctuary to become the next Red Dragon King!
You'll become like that too!
"Aunt... I... let's talk this out." Noa tried to awaken Ischa's 'conscience'.
"Hey, my darling Noa, we can talk about our secrets after the game is over. Right now Mom, I need to get rid of you quickly and then go find your Dad. Come here, don't make things difficult for your aunt."
Don't say such terrible things in such a gentle tone!
It will leave psychological trauma on children!
Noa pressed herself tightly against the door panel, holding only one valid item card in her hand: [Reincarnation Desperate Situation].
However, the one-on-one mechanism of [Reincarnation Desperate Situation] can only be triggered when there are only two players left on the field.
Based on what Ischa said, her Mom Daddy still be "alive" and therefore unable to use the item card.
What should I do... what should I do...?
Noa bit her lower lip tightly; even though she knew it was a game, the pressure was still off the charts.
Meanwhile, in God Observation Room, three little Dragon girl stood in front of a giant Imprint Stone, watching Noa and Ischa confront each other.
"It's over, my sister can't escape now." Mu En's tone was full of dejection.
"I thought Uncle Leon and Auntie Losweiser were already amazing, but I never expected Aunt Ischa ... to be even more amazing," Helena said.
Even Le Zilong Little Pink Hair boy, was worried for his older sister.
"Big sister, hang in there a little longer, we'll be able to go to the meeting soon and give out the aunt's ticket."
"It's useless."
Claudia was already drinking tea in the observation room, spoke slowly.
"There are still more than forty minutes until eight o'clock. Even Leon and Losweiser won't last until then. This game... the Red Dragon King should win for sure."
The Dragon girl still stood in front of the Imprint Stone, silently praying for the figure who was still struggling to hold on.
"Noa, come here quickly, it's okay, your aunt will carry you to God Observation Room."
Ischa slowly moved closer, and soon she would be within the attack range of the item card.
Noa's heart was also racing.
She knew very well that there was no way for her to escape her aunt's 'pursuit'.
Even so, she would not surrender obediently.
If it were Dad, he would definitely—
"Player—"
The quiet corridor was suddenly broken by the voices of staff.
Noa quickly looked down at the Imprint Stone in her pocket. Was it her elimination announcement?
