Freedom of Choice, Sudden Beheading

"Violation?"

"How did we violate the rules?"

No. 2 looked at No. 3. Expressionless, No. 3 said, "Don't look at me. I don't know either."

"The moment players could set these Order Rules, they had already lost their fairness."

In other words, if someone insisted on finding fault with you, what could you do?

As soon as those words were spoken, something began to stir within the room.

The two Ji Yans' expressions turned grave. It was the scent of Order...

Though they did not know what the punishment was, it should not warrant death, right?

The next second, both of them looked in the same direction.

The instant their gazes landed there, two black chains composed of game code coiled around their necks.

Their expressions darkened as they watched the space ahead distort. A chaotic, blurry eerie shadow tore its way out from within.

The eerie shadow was exceptionally tall, its entire body burning with cold black flames. Tugging on two Order chains, it spoke in a voice devoid of warmth or emotion. "Reckless rule-breaking livestock shall be dealt with by me. Come with me!"

"Who are you?"

The eerie shadow spoke coldly. "Two piles of pulverized flesh and bone have no right to know who I am!"

Gripping the chains with both hands, No. 2 sneered. "Let me guess your identity. The Tower Master?"

"May I ask, Tower Master, how exactly did we seriously violate the rules?"

"[Eerie Dao] convicts without need for reason."

"It is the reason!"

No. 3 mocked him coldly. "Is it possible that [Eerie Dao] was also created by humans?"

The black-flame eerie shadow stared grimly at the two of them, the red flames in its eyes flickering unsteadily.

No. 2 could not be bothered to pretend anymore and got straight to the point.
