Double Kill!

The turn of events was too sudden, truly beyond expectation.

Following the Lone Supporter's mask of pain, he suddenly became excited again, like a madman.

Admittedly, even Yimo was a bit stunned. Yimo couldn't help but pull him and say, "Keep it down, what's wrong?"

The Lone Supporter realized he had lost composure and quickly crouched down. He glanced at the positions of the high school student and the young married woman, then lowered his voice and said to Yimo.

"Exorcism Talisman, got it!"

He excitedly pulled out an item from his pocket. It was a small golden wooden token, inscribed with complex red characters. Although they looked like scribbles, they unexpectedly gave a feeling of comfort and peace.

"Consider it a blessing in disguise, this round is much more stable!"

The Lone Supporter didn't hide anything and said it directly to Yimo. The two of them looked at the Exorcism Talisman, planning to study it carefully.

Yeah, study it carefully, how to survive until the end!

But... before they could study it closely, with the system's prompt, the Exorcism Talisman, like a life-saving straw, disappeared from the Lone Supporter's hand.

Ding.

Players remaining: 8

Deaths: 2

Survivor Faction Deaths +1.

The system loli's voice echoed in the stunned minds of the two like a devil's whisper.

It had been less than a minute since the Murderer died and a new Murderer appeared.

Another person from the survivor side had been killed!

And the Exorcism Talisman, which had just been randomly assigned to the Lone Supporter's hand, had already been reassigned to someone else before it could even warm up.

The perspective returned to the starting room.

After being assigned as the Murderer, the Horse Hunter looked at the countdown in the upper right corner of his vision, then at the pair of newlyweds in front of him, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Hahaha...

They were practically gifts!

The Horse Hunter had already played four death games. In each game, there were new players like the couple in front of him who were entering the game for the first time.

They didn't understand the situation, shouted annoyingly, or simply sat on the ground and cried.

If they were in the same survivor faction, the Horse Hunter might have cursed them a few times and then ignored them.

But now the situation was clear: he was the Murderer, and these two idiots in front of him were free points for the taking.

"Hey, rookies."

"It's normal that you don't understand the situation, but it's okay, you've met me, an old player who's been through four games."

"You two are to my liking, so I'll tell you what's going on!"

The Horse Hunter smiled and was about to sit on a cardboard box filled with things.

But the yellow-haired youth was very considerate. He quickly went over, wiped the dust off the cardboard box with his sleeve, and then said to the Horse Hunter, "Big brother, sit!"

After speaking, he looked at the little delinquent beside him and said, "Stop crying, with big brother looking out for us, what's there to be afraid of!"

The little delinquent heard this and hid in the yellow-haired youth's arms. She was a little afraid of the Horse Hunter's red eyes, so she nodded, "Big brother... okay..."

Seeing that the yellow-haired youth was very considerate, and because his actions were restricted to within one meter of himself and he couldn't touch others, the Horse Hunter nodded and said, "You're a smart kid. Although that little girl looks a bit silly, since she's recognized me as her big brother, I can't be heartless."

"You've gotten involved in something big."

"Did you suddenly faint, then stay in a pure white space for a while, and then wake up here?"

The two nodded quickly upon hearing this.

The Horse Hunter said, "Heh, you've been dragged into a death game."

"There's a super large illegal organization that captures people through various methods like drugging, injections, and kidnapping, and then organizes these death games for wealthy individuals to bet on, treating it as an interesting high-stakes gamble."

"You've not only been drugged but also implanted with chips, so what you see and hear will be different, which is completely normal."

The two were stunned. How did they get involved in something like this for no reason?

The little delinquent couldn't help but start crying again, muttering that her parents had a lot of money and would give anything as long as they let her go.

After being slightly shocked, the yellow-haired youth immediately asked, "Big brother... are you also..."

What the Horse Hunter said was purely a made-up story, waiting for his restrictions to be lifted so he could start slaughtering them. He was rambling with the yellow-haired youth, but it actually sounded quite convincing. He frowned and patted his chest, "Damn it, don't compare me to those idiots. I'm purely here for the money."

"The winner of each game gets a huge bonus!"

The yellow-haired youth looked at him with even more admiration, almost kneeling to kowtow and recognize him as family on the spot.

The Horse Hunter, however, acted as if he valued loyalty immensely, "Haha, I'm helping you because you're a smart kid and the little girl in your arms comes from a wealthy family."

"Those wealthy viewers love good showmanship. You two, who were just captured, follow me and kill everyone else."

"This will create good content, and then the game can end."

"Exactly, little girl, I saved your life, and in return, the money…"

Hearing this, the girl with yellow hair quickly said, "Big brother, thank you so much! When this is over, I'll have my parents thank you properly. I'll give you 100,000, no, no! 1 million!!!"

The Horse Hunter had more or less gained their trust. Seeing that the countdown had less than a minute left, he began to probe them. "By the way, did you two get any prompts from the system? Did you get anything?"

"That thing is a lifesaver! If you have it, hold onto it, and no one can do anything to you!"

The girl with yellow hair shook her head while crying.

The boy with yellow hair, however, said, "What thing? Is it that magical?"

"Where can I find it?"

As he spoke, the boy with yellow hair started searching the surroundings.

The Horse Hunter watched the countdown in the top right corner.

10 seconds, 9 seconds…

3 seconds, 1 second…

He finally couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and laugh heartily, "Hahaha… No need to look!"

As he spoke, a large cleaver appeared in his hand, and he swung it towards the boy with yellow hair's head.

Coincidentally, the boy with yellow hair hadn't found anything useful. He turned around just in time to see the cleaver in the Horse Hunter's hand appear out of nowhere and swing towards him.

He was startled and, by instinct from street fights, jumped back to dodge. He then quickly got to his feet and shielded the terrified, immobile girl with yellow hair behind him, saying, "Big brother, what are you doing!"

The Horse Hunter looked at the two of them like they were lab rats, not in a hurry at all. He hefted the large cleaver and laughed, "What am I doing?"

"Of course, I'm killing you!"

"Hahaha…"

"This is hilarious, two idiots!!!"

With that, he walked towards them, cleaver in hand.

The boy with yellow hair immediately realized that his newly recognized big brother had betrayed him and got angry. He quickly said, "Big brother, you're not righteous!"

The Horse Hunter completely ignored the boy with yellow hair.

What about the boy with yellow hair?

Looking at the gleaming cleaver and the Horse Hunter's muscular physique, he was still young and, ultimately, scared.

He suddenly knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Big brother, please, don't kill me!"

"I'm only 17! I still have a sister in elementary school at home that I have to look after!"

"Let me go, and I'll go be your mole! I'll find them all out for you!!!"

"Then… that thing…"

"If you want to kill, kill her!"

As the boy with yellow hair spoke, he directly hid behind the delinquent girl, using her as a human shield. His eyes darted around, seemingly looking for an opportunity to escape.

The Horse Hunter saw this and, with amusement, cornered them. He nodded from above, saying, "Well, having an extra helper isn't impossible."

"It's just…"

"Damn it, I hate people who use women as shields the most!"

"Die for me!"

Then, holding the cleaver, he suddenly attacked, swinging towards the boy with yellow hair's head.

"Ah!!!" The delinquent girl closed her eyes in fear and screamed, a puddle already forming on the ground.

What happened next?

Was the boy with yellow hair's head directly cleaved open, blood gushing out?

No.

"Ahhhh!!!!" A miserable scream.

It wasn't the boy with yellow hair who screamed, but the Horse Hunter.

As his full-force strike landed on the boy with yellow hair's head, he found he couldn't cut even a millimeter further. Then, pure golden light emanated from his body, shining onto the Horse Hunter.

Immediately, his clothes burst into flames, his skin began to rot, and black smoke continuously rose from his head. At this moment, he looked at the boy with yellow hair in disbelief and roared, "You… Why is it on you!"

Clearly, this boy with yellow hair looked like a newcomer, terrified of death, and it was impossible for him to be carrying that so-called Exorcism Talisman!!!

The boy with yellow hair, however, no longer had his previous timid demeanor. He got up from the ground, walked over to the Horse Hunter with a cold smile, and kicked him several times, mockingly sneering, "Hahaha, a big idiot with a simple mind and developed limbs!"

"The trash I mentioned at the beginning included you, hahaha!!!"

As the boy with yellow hair spoke, his eyes gradually turned red. He picked up the cleaver that had fallen to the ground, poked it into the Horse Hunter's cursing mouth, and then said sinisterly, "It's interesting that you've only played four rounds and you're acting like a veteran here."

"Heh, I've played seven rounds and I'm still pretending to be a newcomer to trick you fools."

"You guys who are so full of yourselves are the easiest to fool."

"But this game isn't very interesting. Besides you, only that pink-haired girl is a bit dangerous."

"I'll kill you first, and then it'll be her turn."

"Hahaha..."

The blonde-haired youth squatted beside the Horse Hunter, constantly muttering "de de de." The Horse Hunter could only stare at him with wide eyes, as if vowing to haunt him even as a ghost.

But... the blonde-haired youth had seen too many such gazes and didn't care at all. He slowly savored the sight of the Horse Hunter being burned into a dried corpse before turning his head to look at the delinquent girl, who had been so terrified she'd curled up in a corner, shaking her head, her sanity clearly fraying.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

"Please, don't kill me!!!"

And the blonde-haired youth?

He walked over, holding the Cleaver and smiling gently. He leaned down and softly stroked her head, saying, "You're so beautiful, how could I bear to kill you?"

Under the blonde-haired youth's gentle voice, the girl finally lifted her head slightly. Like a little rabbit, she nodded fearfully, a flicker of hope in her eyes, as if she had found a savior.

Then...

Swish...

The Cleaver in the blonde-haired youth's hand suddenly fell. Survivor count.

Minus one.

.

After finishing everything, the blonde-haired youth trembled with excitement.

He loved watching others fill with hope only to fall into hell the most!

He loved it the most!

Carrying the Cleaver, he left the room, humming a tune, not in any hurry.

"Which little mouse should I find first?"

"Oh my~ This place is so big, it's hard to find them~"

He smiled, conjuring a card from thin air, and activated its effect.

『R Card Activated: Senses enhanced fivefold, effect lasts for 5 minutes.』

The blonde-haired youth stretched his neck out in a perverted manner, sniffing with enjoyment. He trembled a few more times, becoming even more excited.

"Hahaha, what a delightful scent..."

"This is truly fate. I never expected you to be the closest to me!"

"That's fine too. I'll deal with the most dangerous-looking one first, and then we can truly play a game of cat and mouse!"

The sound of the Cleaver scraping against the ground echoed through the dim mine tunnel, like the Grim Reaper tolling the death knell, sending a chill and fear through one's heart.
