Who Dies First

Everyone was extremely annoyed: "Damn it, why did they design it so tight!"

"There's still a way, we can use a rope, tie one end from the second floor, and add weights to pull..." Meimei offered a suggestion.

Hope surged among them again. It was a good idea, just a bit troublesome and requiring careful setup.

But just then, the bald man suddenly lunged. While everyone was scrambling and Gaoxin hadn't stabilized himself, he rushed forward and grabbed the Mechanical Battle Axe.

"Awooo!" Sule reacted extremely quickly. With a lunge, he raised his body and bit down, hanging onto the man's arm with just his teeth.

"Ah! Are you a dog?" The bald man cried out in pain but didn't let go, directly pulling the Giant Axe free.

Gaoxin also rushed forward, gripping the Giant Axe with him.

Meimei shouted, "What are you doing? Let go!"

Before the bald man could speak, Gaoxin yelled at Meimei instead, "Shut up!"

Silver Hand tilted his head, hearing the commotion, and said, "Was the Giant Axe snatched?"

Gaoxin said coldly, "Not yet."

He wrestled with the bald man, both holding the Giant Axe simultaneously.

However, the bald man had grabbed it first. His hand was in the best position, and he quickly found the trigger.

"Buzz!"

The Giant Axe activated!

And Sule was still biting him, hanging from his arm.

Gaoxin's pupils contracted. In the nick of time, he quickly let go, grabbed Sule, and pulled, both of them falling to the side.

At the same time, the bald man stumbled, the Giant Axe swinging him around with a whoosh.

The sound of air being cleaved whistled past. The axe struck the ground nearby, sending marble fragments flying, and the man himself fell to the ground.

But he quickly turned, raised the Giant Axe, and shouted at everyone, "Nobody come closer!"

Gaoxin glared, saying nothing.

Sule roared, "You damn it!"

If Gaoxin hadn't saved him, he would have been split in two just now!

The others were also shocked by the turn of events and glared at the bald man.

If the Giant Axe wasn't in Gaoxin's hands, Silver Hand could have directly gone for the collar.

Silver Hand didn't have hands right now... The only way to get the collar was to kick Gaoxin's head off.

The bald man said coldly, "I don't care about you guys. If this Giant Axe can save one person, why the hell would I open the collar!"

Meimei said angrily, "Open the collar, and we can all live!"

The bald man stood up, leaning against a pillar, holding the axe with both hands. "It's not like I didn't try to help, but I can't open it."

"Who knows how much strength it takes to pry this thing open?"

"Isn't it better for me to just use the axe?"

Although Silver Hand couldn't see, he had locked onto the bald man's position.

"Silver Hand, don't come near me, or I'll swing this axe and kill you!" the bald man urged desperately.

Silver Hand faced him and said, "The collar is clearly designed so that a Glass Person can't open it. And a Glass Person's strength cannot exceed three times their body weight."

"Based on the feel I got earlier, opening the collar would require about three to four hundred kilograms of force."

Three to four hundred kilograms!

It sounded daunting, but if they used Meimei's method, it should be achievable.

However, this would require the bald man's help. After all, the collar was on Gaoxin's neck, and without the cooperation of another person who could move freely, it would be almost impossible to complete.

Not to mention Silver Hand, who was watching them like a hawk...

So, the bald man's help was essential, even if it was just holding the axe to deter Silver Hand.

"...Do you understand? Help us, damn it!" Meimei urged anxiously.

The bald man said with a cold face, "Why don't you let Silver Hand help? Don't you trust him? Let him open it."

Everyone was speechless, but since the man was determined not to budge, they could only look at Gaoxin.

Gaoxin remained silent, just watching Silver Hand.

"This is the Redemption Game..." Silver Hand murmured, then let out a low laugh. His appearance was already terrifying, making the laugh even more so.

"Not talking? Don't want to reveal your position?"

"Aren't you forcing me to just kill randomly..."

Only then did everyone understand why Gaoxin had remained silent after the Giant Axe was snatched.

It was to avoid revealing his location. The chaos earlier had been quite disorienting, and Silver Hand didn't know which sound of movement belonged to Gaoxin.

But if the fire was lit, killing everyone wasn't out of the question.

"Can't you just do without the collar? Can't you take fewer redemption vouchers? Didn't you say you genuinely didn't want to kill us? Didn't you say you recognized Gaoxin?" someone pleaded.

Silver Hand shook his head, saying, "I must have them. There's no room for negotiation. You're not worth me giving up these redemption vouchers."

At this moment, Gaoxin suddenly charged at the bald man, speaking at the same time, "Yeah, we're certainly not worthy!"

"What do you mean 'we'll get to know each other by fighting'? You don't even want to ask my name!"

Hearing his voice, Silver Hand locked onto his position and charged directly at him.

Everyone was shocked. Damn it, it's still going to be a fight!

The bald man was also shocked, "Don't come over here!"

He swung his Giant Axe, the wind whistling.

Gaoxin dodged to the side, his target the area behind the pillar where the bald man stood.

Silver Hand followed closely, and hearing the wind, he also dodged a bit more. Although his absolute speed was faster than Gaoxin's, he couldn't catch up when dodging around the pillar. After all, Gaoxin could see.

Especially with the bald man swinging his Giant Axe in between them.

The bald man planted his feet firmly, swinging his Giant Axe left and right, his back against the wall, trying to force Silver Hand back.

Silver Hand couldn't see, so he could only rely on sound, maintaining a distance as he circled the pillar. However, Gaoxin's footsteps were always behind the bald man.

"Isn't your name Gaoxin? Why do I need to ask?" Silver Hand chuckled softly.

Gaoxin panted, "Before, people only called me Brother Xin Ku. It was only after that that people started using my full name."

"I'm afraid in your eyes, we're just a bunch of useless slaves. It doesn't matter if we know each other or not."

Silver Hand chuckled lightly, "Is it possible that I only need to know your nickname? On this island, not many people use each other's real names."

"I gave you many chances, but you didn't believe me."

Gaoxin said sternly, "How can I believe someone who swore they would kill me?"

"I also tried to believe you, but after you came back from upstairs, your stomach was a bit bigger. Did you go to the third floor and eat the meat from the kitchen? You weren't really looking for the bald man, were you?"

"The wounds on your body have all scabbed over, and even the place where your arm was newly cut off has healed, but it hasn't continued to self-heal... Is it because you're weak due to lack of nutrition?"

"You need to recover your stamina, which is why you started talking nicely and gave me so many chances."

"You even gave me a chance after I cut off your arm!"

"Am I your father? This isn't recognition, you're just enduring!"

"As long as you get something to eat and recover some stamina, it'll be enough to kill us all."

Gaoxin's words were like a thunderclap, leaving everyone stunned, their hearts sinking to the bottom.

During the period of peace in the middle, Silver Hand's condition had indeed improved significantly. He wasn't as miserable as he was right after emerging from the bath.

Perhaps his injuries required special supplements, but ordinary food should have been able to help him recover some stamina, allowing him to run fast again.

So, was he deliberately using a calm and enlightened tone to hide his weakness?

Yes, no matter how much he admired Gaoxin, he wouldn't be so calm after having an arm cut off. Even if it were his own father, he'd probably kick him a couple of times, right?

"Say whatever you want."

Silver Hand suddenly stopped. He clearly realized that circling the pillar like this wouldn't allow him to catch up to Gaoxin.

He could no longer afford to be wary of the Giant Axe. He felt his stamina had recovered considerably and decided to deal with the bald man directly.

"Gurgle..." Part of the skin and flesh on his body suddenly surged, looking incredibly terrifying.

Seeing this, Gaoxin shouted, "Bald man, don't just stand there, go chop him!"

The bald man was startled and saw Silver Hand squeeze a small fruit knife out of a wound on his side.

It was obvious he had taken it from the kitchen upstairs just now.

Since his clothes had all burned off, leaving him with nothing but rotten flesh all over, the only place he could store items was within this rotten flesh.

This was a True Wolf, like an iron man.

"Whoosh!"

The small knife was ejected by the pressure of his muscles, hitting the bald man's arm directly.

The latter cried out in pain, and his movements with the Giant Axe faltered.

Silver Hand immediately attacked, delivering a front kick that sent the bald man flying, smashing him hard against the pillar behind him.

"Pfft!" The bald man spat out a mouthful of blood, his internal organs likely ruptured.

Silver Hand, having no hands, simply continued forward, sticking close to the bald man and lunging to bite his neck fiercely.

Gulp, gulp, gulp, he began to suck the bald man's blood in large gulps.

"Ahhh!" The bald man screamed and suddenly pulled something from his pocket, pressing it hard. Sparks and crackling electricity erupted.

It was a homemade electric shock device, crudely made by hand.

"Ugh..." Silver Hand convulsed from the shock, letting out a muffled groan.

Everyone was stunned. They hadn't expected the bald man to have a weapon on him. That was right; he wasn't a newcomer.

To participate in the game, you need at least some skills.

"Ugh... Roar!" The electric shock enraged Silver Hand, causing him to bite down even harder, tearing at the bald man's neck.

"Ah..." The bald man was in agony, his body convulsing. One hand still clutched the Giant Axe tightly.

He wanted to hack the other man to death, but the man was too close, pinning him against the pillar.

Was he going to have to chop himself too?

He actually did it. With one hand, he activated the battle axe and swung it in a wide arc, cleaving into Silver Hand's back.

The bald man was desperate; this time, the axe didn't fly out of his hand.

Silver Hand's eyes widened. The electric shock had slowed him, and he couldn't dodge in time. His back took a heavy blow.

Splat! He spat out a mouthful of blood, threw his head back and roared, twisting his body violently. He immediately flung both the Giant Axe and the bald man away.

But he himself knelt on one knee, unable to stand.

His spine was broken!

However, he wasn't completely paralyzed like a normal person, and he quickly stopped the bleeding!

"Glass Person's blood is truly useless..." he spat, disgusted. The blood and flesh of ordinary people only had the effect of ordinary food for him.

Despite the severe injury, he wasn't dead. Instead, the muscles on his back writhed, and his body swayed. Judging by his posture, he could still fight.

Everyone remembered Tianshe's terror. He was also True Wolf Level, and this axe blow wouldn't be enough.

At the critical moment, Gaoxin appeared behind him with a rope and, while Silver Hand was immobilized, used a noose to wrap around his neck.

"Help me!" Gaoxin roared, gripping one end of the rope and simultaneously flinging the other end towards the bald man with all his might.

Pulling both ends would tighten the noose.

But relying on his strength alone, strangling Silver Hand was a joke.

He had hoped the bald man would help, but when he looked, he saw the bald man had already lost consciousness!

Looking at his injuries, good heavens, his carotid artery had ruptured, and he was bleeding profusely.

It was over. He was truly alone now.

Just as Gaoxin was about to let go of the rope to quickly grab the axe, a figure suddenly darted out and bit down on the rope!

It was Sule!

Sule bit down hard on the rope and wriggled, performing a death roll that wrapped the rope around himself several times.

Seeing this, Gaoxin couldn't let go either. He could only run backward, yanking hard on the rope.

There was a pillar nearby. After all, Silver Hand had just pinned the bald man against this stone pillar.

Gaoxin ran around the stone pillar with the rope, returning to Sule's side.

Sule was dragged along by the rope. Gaoxin arrived in time, hugged him, and braced his foot against the stone pillar.

Now, Gaoxin and Sule leaned against each other, each holding a rope, both pulling with all their might.

On the other end, the noose tightened around Silver Hand's neck, simultaneously yanking him back against the stone pillar.

Silver Hand, the stone pillar, and the two of them, Gaoxin and Sule, formed a straight line.

Chik! Chik... Silver Hand's neck was tightly constricted. He thrashed desperately, but he had no hands...

He had no hands!

He couldn't break the rope at all. He was emaciated, and with his spinal injury, his lower body couldn't exert full force. He writhed on the pillar like a worm.

"Ugh..." His eyes bulged. He realized the gravity of the situation.

"Roar...!" Silver Hand strained forward hoarsely, using his neck like an iron bar to try and break the rope.

But this kind of noose only tightened the more you pulled.

The noose was already very small. Silver Hand's neck was like a pillow bound by an iron hoop, unnaturally constricted.

His face swelled, and blood seeped from the wounds on his already monstrous face.

An ordinary person would have died long ago.

But he was still tenacious, still struggling with all his might.

The force he exerted almost made Gaoxin on the other side of the pillar lose his grip.

"Can't let go... can't let go..."

Gaoxin's hands were bleeding, but he gritted his teeth and persisted, sensing Silver Hand's struggling strength growing.

Clearly, his spine was recovering, and he could exert more and more force.

Once his lower body could exert full strength, he might be able to drag them away!

"We have to kill him now!" Gaoxin's veins bulged. He held Sule with one arm and the rope with the other, putting all his effort into it.

But then he saw that Sule's eyes had rolled back. It turned out that during the death roll, the rope had also wrapped around Sule's neck once.

Even so, Sule didn't let go, his eyes rolled back as he stubbornly bit down on the rope.

"Damn it! Sule!"

Gaoxin was anxious. Looking at the situation, it seemed the bald man wouldn't die from strangulation, but Sule would.

But what could be done? Should they let go?

At the critical moment, Liu Xu ran over, grabbing the rope around Sule's neck with both hands.

Not only did she add strength, but she also helped Sule relieve the pain in his neck, allowing him to adjust.

Then came Meimei. Her shoulder was shattered, but she still managed to crawl over and bite onto the rope, hanging herself.

Seeing such a brutal fight, where it was down to who would die first, the others didn't hesitate. It was time to go all out.

One by one, they rushed over and hung themselves.

A total of eight people, working together, their combined weight alone was nearly six hundred kilograms.

However, the bald man suddenly cried out, "I can't die!"

His neck contorted further, his voice like a ghost's wail!

It sent shivers down everyone's spines!

Could this SR be about to break through again?

Instantly, everyone, whimpering, also exerted their strength frantically. Some whose wrists could still move desperately wrapped the rope, while others bit down with their teeth, refusing to let go even as their mouths filled with blood.

"Thud!"

An immense force struck, and everyone was yanked into the pillar!

Fortunately, there was the pillar to brace against.

They pulled with all their might, feeling like they were using the strength of their next lives.

"Gurgle, eh, eh, eh, roar!"

The bald man wailed as if crying, his eyes bulging. The stone pillar behind him was dented in several places from his impact, with dust and debris falling off sporadically.

But this damn rope just wouldn't break!

His mind was already a blur, his thoughts melting away. He couldn't accept it. He never imagined he would actually die at the hands of these Glass People.

How could this be? He hadn't gotten his revenge yet!

In the darkness of his mind, he seemed to see a white light, a girl beckoning to him. She was so pure.

"Sha..."

"Shasha!"

The bald man suddenly kicked out, cracking the floor. He slammed half an arm into the pillar, sending stone fragments flying, and was nearly strangling himself to death.

Everyone pulled together, their bodies threatening to tear apart. Some had their heads smashed against the pillar, bleeding profusely. Others spat out teeth mixed with blood, the rope slipping from their grasp.

"Holy crap! What did he say!"

"It's Chinese, he's shouting 'kill'!"

Hearing this, a few people, ignoring their broken arms and lost teeth, switched to the other side and bit down again. They were going to give it their all!

"Shasha!"

The bald man yanked again, and everyone was thrown into the air.

The guy finally got off the stone pillar and then stomped backward again!

"Boom!"

The force was so immense it sent everyone flying.

The eight people slammed into the stone pillar and bounced off, scattering like fallen petals.

They all had bloody heads, their minds blank, the ropes slipping from their grasp and whipping around like whips.

"What... what kind of joke is this..." Everyone was stunned.

The bald man, using only his neck and without his hands, had thrown all eight of them away.

He broke free from their grasp, dragging the rope, and stumbled out from behind the pillar.

His head looked terrifyingly abnormal, a mixture of dark red and purplish-blue. His face was bloody and swollen, countless blood vessels bursting from the extreme pressure.

"Shasha..."

The bald man stood there, like a fierce ghost, the muscles in his neck twitching as he strained against the rope.

Changes were happening simultaneously throughout his body, indescribable. It was as if his texture had changed, his cells seemingly dissolving into other substances.

This time, it seemed like a qualitative change!

"F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!"

A few people looked ashen, collapsing on the ground, unwilling to move.

On one hand, they were utterly exhausted. On the other, they were too despairing.

Could this guy ever be killed!

I'm tired, just destroy it already.

Everyone had given up hope of survival, feeling like this was something ordinary folks like them couldn't possibly overcome.

But Gaoxin suddenly moved. He desperately charged towards the Giant Axe and grabbed it.

He was also exhausted. He couldn't even lift the forty to fifty-kilogram axe anymore and could only drag it along the ground.

Yet, even so, he wanted to use his last bit of strength to charge forward.

The Giant Axe glowed blue as it was dragged across the ground.

Sparks flew everywhere!

He refused to accept it, too unwilling to give up. Why? He hadn't done anything wrong, yet he was sent to this hellhole.

He had given his all, racked his brain, and still couldn't survive?

Just because he was an ordinary person, and the opponent was an SR?

"Let's see who dies first!" Gaoxin roared, charging with all his might towards Silver Hand, swinging the Giant Axe upwards.

There was no hesitation in this strike; he just wanted to smash whatever was in front of him.

Squelch!

The Giant Axe slashed upwards from below, severing Silver Hand from crotch to shoulder! Splitting him into two halves!

It wasn't over yet. Gaoxin spun around with the momentum of the axe swing, like a giant windmill, and swung again!

Silver Hand seemed to be in the critical phase of metamorphosis, and combined with his extreme weakness, he didn't move at all.

With a swish, his head flew off, barely bleeding much.

"Holy crap! Xin!"

Everyone was stunned. Just when they had lost all hope of survival, Gaoxin had actually killed Silver Hand with two swings.

"Hoo..."

Gaoxin was so tired his head was spinning. He planted the axe heavily on the ground, barely able to stand.

He had no strength left, only gasping for air.

"Sha..."

Hearing that devilish voice, everyone looked in horror at the severed head. It wasn't dead yet?

Gaoxin felt like the world was spinning, but he bit his tongue, trying with all his might to lift the Giant Axe.

He couldn't budge it.

At the same time, Silver Hand's head, his face contorted, seemed to realize his predicament.

All his consciousness was rapidly fading. He screamed hysterically, "Shasha... no... I can't die..."

Only now did Gaoxin understand that it was a name.

"You won't get your revenge," Gaoxin gasped like a bellows.

Silver Hand tried to move, but he couldn't. With his last bit of strength, he spat hatefully, "Fuj... iwara... Tomo..."

The head went completely still.

Even in his final moments, he wasn't thinking about the person killing him, but about his enemy.

Gaoxin stood there, staring at the dead head, catching his breath for a long time. He then mustered the strength to pull out the Giant Axe and chop down again, only feeling truly relieved after smashing the head to pieces.

"Waaah..."

"We won... Holy crap, we finally killed him!" The others burst into tears.

Gaoxin plopped down on the ground, completely drained, and just lay there.

He looked at the ceiling, wishing he could just sleep.

But then he remembered, this was only his first game, his first day on Sin Prison Island!

If he walked out of here, he'd still fall into the hands of those Wa people. Despair washed over him, making it impossible to close his eyes.

"Ugh..." A groan suddenly came from beside him.

Gaoxin jolted awake.

He looked around and realized the sound came from the bald man.

The guy had lost a lot of blood but wasn't dead yet.

Meimei said, "Brother, end his suffering."

Gaoxin stood up and slowly walked over, leaning on the Giant Axe, staring at the dying bald man.

Then, he glanced at the time: 3:25 PM.

There were still thirty-five minutes until the game ended.

"Brother, he won't live until the end of the game," Meimei said meaningfully.

Gaoxin chuckled hoarsely, "Game? Hehehehe..."

He laughed maniacally, as if he'd gone insane.

Sule panted, confused. "That bald man is going to die anyway, why bother with him? He's a menace!"

Meimei said softly, "Brother is a cat..."

p.s: Sorry.
