Super Fraudster!

Yimo was still inside the cramped locker, but unlike before, when he had kept his head lowered,

he had now raised it. Beneath his slightly messy, broken bangs, a pair of brownish eyes finally showed themselves, glittering with dazzling light. Compared to their lifeless appearance before, they were now far more radiant.

Standing before him, less than thirty centimeters away, was Twilight.

At such a close distance, Yimo could clearly see her perfectly proportioned features. He could even make out each of her long, slender eyelashes.

Below them was a pair of eyes filled with doubt and fury, gleaming with a strange red light.

The hatchet that had already killed several people was less than ten centimeters above Yimo's head.

Yet precisely because of that ten-centimeter distance, Twilight could never bring it down. She could only remain there, motionless, staring at Yimo.

Yimo did not come out either. He simply sat inside the locker. After laughing loudly, he suddenly covered his forehead again and murmured, "What a crazy game."

"Even I've been affected by you people and become a little abnormal..."

After saying that, he shook his head again. "No."

"Perhaps I've been the most abnormal one from the very beginning."

At that moment, floating in the empty space before Yimo, the page for the SSR+ card Inner Persona Girlfriend had appeared.

The difference was that the mosaic covering the card had completely vanished.

The words "Not Unlocked" that had originally appeared behind the card were gone as well.

The most eye-catching thing on the card's information page was a casual photograph of Twilight.

She was no longer manic like before. Still wearing the same JK school uniform, she had a slightly aloof expression and the distant, untouchable air of an older sister. Calling her a goddess would not have been an exaggeration.

Beside it was a set of data.

Age, birthday, weight, measurements, and so on...

It had practically everything.

The changing Alter Ego value had also reached over eighty percent.

Below the Alter Ego value was the card's ability.

"Boyfriend Privilege: Absolute Obedience."

After it was a parenthetical "(2/3)," along with a note stating that activating it required the card to be unlocked.

Yimo had already used it once—that was when Twilight's hatchet had fallen just now.

He had activated the card and made Twilight's body unable to move for ten minutes!

"Twilight, actually, once there were only you and me left at the end, I had already won."

"The ability of the SSR+ card I drew activated once there were only the two of us left."

"Just as I initially thought, it probably required you to acknowledge that you were my girlfriend."

"I kept paying attention to you because I wanted to confirm whether it could be activated. Unfortunately, I never got the chance to interact with you alone."

Yimo had tried to interact with Twilight three times.

After entering the game, when they exchanged glances, Lone Supporter had interrupted them.

When he ran out of the room and tried to follow the direction Twilight had left in, Lone Supporter had interrupted him again.

When only the three of them remained, Lone Supporter still interrupted them.

Although all his attempts had failed, by coincidence, Twilight had admitted it herself in a teasing tone.

"Lone Supporter..."

"He had ulterior motives from the very beginning. I knew that."

Thinking of Lone Supporter, Yimo's mood sank slightly. He glanced at the jade pendant he was still clutching tightly and put it into his pocket.

"But that doesn't stop me from gradually learning about this game in a completely unfamiliar environment."

"Actually... I really got along pretty well with him."

"It's just that his acting was too clumsy. He was always revealing his genuine emotions."

"When he asked for the Exorcism Talisman, I guessed that his card would probably require it, so I deliberately went to confirm it with him."

"That kind of acting couldn't fool anyone."

As he said this, Yimo closed his eyes and gave a bitter smile. "I can understand that he wanted to survive."

"But only I knew that in the round with three people left, I was the only one who absolutely wouldn't die."

"Compared to you, I even hoped more that he would be the one to die."

"Because only then would I have had a chance to defeat you in the end."

"Heh... You were the one who killed him, but part of the reason was mine too."

"The Exorcism Talisman was completely useless."

"I guessed that, but I didn't tell him."

"Just as he didn't tell me that he really had an SR Card..."

After saying all this, Yimo raised his head and stared expressionlessly at Twilight. "No one can leave this game alive."

"The only one who can leave alive is a ghost."

"The ghost that kills everyone."

There was no madness or mania in his eyes, only an emotionless, numb coldness.

Even so, it seemed capable of seeing straight through people's hearts.

He glanced at the countdown in the upper-right corner, thought for a moment, and activated Boyfriend Privilege once more, allowing Twilight to speak.

"Why didn't you use your card to command me from the beginning?"

"Were you toying with me?"

Compared to before, Twilight was unexpectedly calm.

She was so calm that even Yimo admired the girl before him.

Hearing her, Yimo felt that the girl's gaze was dazzling, something he could not compare with, so he lowered his head and said, "No. I just didn't want to kill you with my own hands."

"Rather than facing you like this, forcibly immobilizing you and ending the game..."

"I only wanted to hide in a corner and cling to life."

"I don't know how many games you've participated in, or how you learned to wield weapons so skillfully."

"But I'm not ready to do that yet."

Twilight sneered when she heard this. "Heh, how hypocritical."

"Then you can simply leave. In less than three minutes, I'll be killed by the rules of the game."

Yimo shook his head. "I can imagine that even for you, facing death alone during the final three minutes must be agonizing."

"So I'll stay here with you."

"Until this game ends."

Twilight's expression shifted slightly. She frowned and shouted angrily, "Are you looking down on me!"

"What gives you the right to look down on me?"

"I've participated in nine games. I walked through every one of them alone and killed my way through them!!!"

"You're nothing but a hypocritical good-for-nothing who got lucky."

"I refuse to accept this!"

With less than two minutes remaining, even calm Twilight became emotional. Unable to keep herself composed, her eyes turned completely red.

Yimo quietly watched her and said firmly, "No, you're wrong."

"I'm a fraudster."

"A super fraudster who deceived over ten million people."

"Luck did play a part, but I want to tell you something."

"You didn't lose to an ordinary person who survived by relying on luck alone."

"Your efforts weren't in vain!"

After Yimo finished speaking, with less than a minute left on the game's countdown,

he rose to his feet and embraced the girl before him.

It was an extremely gentle embrace. He lightly stroked her pink hair.

Twilight could feel that the other party had no intention of violating or humiliating her. It truly was an exceptionally gentle, exceptionally warm embrace.

Something like this had never appeared in her memories.

From the joy of victory to despair.

And then to this trace of gentleness she had never experienced before.

These things.

She absolutely did not want them!!!

Transparent tears slid from the corners of her eyes down her cheeks, soaking the short sleeve over Yimo's shoulder.

Suddenly, death did not seem so frightening anymore.

Actually, death games like this were exhausting too, weren't they?

"Is that so?"

"So that's how it is, Super Fraudster..."

"Ha... Then losing to you isn't all that embarrassing."

A choked-up, forced laugh.

"Promise me you won't lose to anyone else..."

Her voice trembled with tears and relief.

Although Yimo did not look at the system time to confirm it, he knew that the game would end in five seconds.

Pressing close to the ear beneath the girl's pale-pink hair, he whispered, "Yeah."

"I'll remember."

"My girlfriend for the duration of one game."

As Yimo spoke, Twilight finally closed her eyes and relaxed completely, waiting for death to arrive.

Ding-ling. This game has ended.

The Murder Ghost faction player failed to complete the mission. Mission failure determined.

Punishment...

I'm... going to die...

Punishment execution failed. Due to the influence of the SSR+ card, Boyfriend Privilege, the girlfriend shares the boyfriend's victory result. Game survival success determined! Victory points split evenly with the boyfriend.

Personal game evaluation: You even tried to kill the beautiful girlfriend assigned to you. No wonder you don't have a girlfriend in real life! Hmph, scumbag!

???

Wait, what...!

Before Yimo could react, a cold voice tinged with a hint of sickness sounded beside his ear. "Hehe, whether in reality or in the game..."

"I'll find you and kill you!"

When Yimo raised his head, Twilight was no longer possessed by the Murder Ghost, and the hatchet in her hand had vanished.

She had already moved far away from him. Her crimson eyes held a coldness and a trace of sick obsession. Her cheeks were slightly flushed as she stared at him.

After the game ended, they probably couldn't attack each other.

Otherwise, she definitely would have butchered him without hesitation.

Just a moment ago, she had seemed moved, but now she was shouting that she wanted to kill him again.

That change was far too fast...

Wouldn't it be too boring if things ended like this?

At that moment, the two of them stood in a classroom filled with sunset glow, both bathed in a blazing crimson light.

Yimo did not avert his gaze. He stared straight at Twilight, then suddenly curved the corners of his lips and said confidently, "I'll be waiting for you, my girlfriend."

"Oh, right."

"I'm not some super fraudster. I'm just a cowardly and useless ordinary person."

"I was just kidding with you~"

Before Twilight could angrily say anything else after Yimo finished speaking,

the two of them had already disappeared.

'The Murder Ghost in the Mine'

'Game, end'
