Absolute Gap

The Blond Boy's starting draw was an unremarkable R-grade Card.

"Senses amplified 5x, lasts 5 minutes."

Honestly, in most death games, this was a pretty useless card, not contributing much.

But in this game, which required finding someone, the Blond Boy was already a Murderer, meaning his physical condition and senses were doubled. With his smell amplified another 5x, his sense of smell was comparable to a dog's.

Amidst the thick scent of dust, the Blond Boy easily picked out several smells. One, resembling gardenia, immediately alerted him to Twilight's presence.

There were four people to the left of the mine tunnel, and only one to the right.

The Blond Boy, without hesitation, chose the direction Twilight was in.

His card's effect only lasted 5 minutes, which wasn't long, but he walked carelessly, dragging his Cleaver as if strolling through his backyard.

The door next to the starting room was slightly ajar, revealing only darkness within.

The Blond Boy stopped there, glancing at the deeper mine tunnel and then at the gap in the door. He let out a delighted laugh, "Hahaha... My little darling~"

"You went out of your way to go further, why come back to this room?"

"Hehehe... Hiding, thinking you can fool a Murderer?"

"The most dangerous place is the safest place?"

"Hahaha..."

"You just don't understand the joy of doubled physical condition and senses!"

"It's like mastering the whole world~"

"You... are right behind the door!"

As the Blond Boy spoke, he prepared to push the door open, brandishing his Cleaver and feigning a strike at the figure behind it.

"Swish...!"

But...

The figure behind the door moved first. In the darkness, the moment the door opened, a flash of bright white light streaked by.

It was a dagger, held by the girl with red eyes, thrusting straight towards the Blond Boy's chest!

The movement was incredibly fast!

Thanks to his doubled physical condition, the Blond Boy barely managed to react. His body instinctively recoiled and sidestepped, trying to dodge the blow. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

If his physical condition hadn't been doubled, Twilight's strike aimed at his heart would have absolutely killed him!

But at that moment, Twilight didn't pursue. Instead, she suddenly retracted her blade, spun halfway around to avoid the Blond Boy's body, her leather shoes landing on the doorframe, and then she sprinted rapidly towards one end of the mine tunnel.

"Damn it!"

"Survivors can't attack Murderers!"

The Blond Boy watched helplessly as Twilight escaped from the sealed room before he remembered the game's rules, letting out an angry shout.

Actually, he knew the rules; he hadn't forgotten.

It was just that, even so, the instinct to survive kicked in when a dagger was suddenly thrust at his heart, causing him to dodge instinctively.

"As expected... a significant threat..."

The Blond Boy reacted 2 seconds later and began sprinting through the uneven mine tunnel, chasing Twilight.

But the more he chased, the more unsettled he became.

Twilight's figure was agile within the dim mine tunnel, her speed astonishingly fast, only slightly slower than him.

This small gap was bridged by the fact that she landed each step with perfect stability, making it seem like she was running on flat ground.

Even though he was close behind, he couldn't quite catch up!

The Blond Boy considered that no matter how agile her footwork, she was still a woman, and her stamina would eventually be depleted more than his. He didn't give up, even chuckling mockingly as he ran.

"Hahaha... Run all you want!"

"When I catch you, I'll make you experience the most painful death!"

"You're very strong, truly strong..."

"Have you played over ten matches, or twenty?"

"You must have experienced a lot to be this strong, right?"

"Hahaha... It's okay... it's okay..."

"From now on, you won't have to struggle like this anymore..."

"Killing one strong player is so much more satisfying than killing 10 weaklings... so much more..."

"Hahaha..."

While the Blond Boy spoke, his attention never wavered. He intended to use conversation to make her let her guard down; any slight mistake would be fatal.

But...

Twilight remained completely unfazed!

This made the Blond Boy pretend to be happy, but he was actually quite displeased.

But it was fine, because he noticed that Twilight's speed was starting to slow down!

There was a fork in the road ahead in the mine tunnel, and Twilight turned left without hesitation. The Blond Boy, afraid of losing her, gritted his teeth and quickened his pace to catch up.

This time, he remembered, he absolutely couldn't be fooled by Twilight again due to his primal fear!

En...

This time, Twilight didn't ambush him.

The mine tunnel to the left of the fork was a dead end, less than 10 meters in, shrouded in darkness!

In the darkness, Twilight placed a hand on her chest, panting heavily. A few strands of pink hair were stuck to her forehead from sweat. Her legs trembled slightly from the exhaustion of running at full speed.

"Oh?"

"Nowhere left to run?"

Whoosh!

The sound of the Blond Boy dragging his blade across the ground was jarring in the quiet environment, a trace of red light in his eyes was eerily chilling.

Still three meters away from Twilight, the Blond Boy sized up the girl. The more he looked, the more beautiful she seemed. He made a "tsk tsk tsk" sound and taunted, "Yo~ Dead end~"

"How do you want to die?"

If the Blond Boy wanted to attack, he could do so at any time, but he wasn't in a hurry.

Although Twilight had run desperately, she most likely didn't have an Exorcism Talisman, but he didn't mind saying a few more words to confirm.

After all, if she didn't have an Exorcism Talisman, in a game with no time limit, as long as he had locked onto his target, he was bound to win!

However, to his surprise, the girl took out a golden wooden牌 from her JK uniform pocket and looked at the Blond Boy coldly, saying, "You can't kill me."

What the...???

The Blond Boy was stunned.

"Damn it, you have an Exorcism Talisman, why were you running so hard!!!"

"Are you crazy?"

"Hide well, maybe I'll be tricked by you, you bitch!"

"Heh heh... Crazy is fine, otherwise, it would be a bit terrifying."

"I'll kill you later!"

Although the Blond Boy's stamina had doubled, it didn't mean he wasn't tired!

After being angered to the extreme, he actually found it amusing.

After all, he had almost been tricked by this girl named Twilight!

Sigh... I'll find someone else.

That's what the Blond Boy thought, but Twilight looked at him as if he were already dead. She put the wooden charm back into her pocket and took out a metal lighter. As the wheel spun, a faint flame illuminated Twilight's face. The Blond Boy's appearance was reflected in Twilight's crimson pupils, as if he were in an abyss.

"Survivors cannot attack Murderers."

"But if a Murderer is accidentally hit by something else that is difficult to resist."

"Tell me, will they die?"

As Twilight's somewhat morbid voice echoed, the Blond Boy froze, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart. "You bitch, what kind of joke are you playing!"

Although he said that, his guard, which had relaxed slightly from the recent run, quickly scanned his surroundings. Amidst the heavy smell of dust, he detected a faint, pungent odor.

It was very faint, and if he hadn't deliberately sniffed carefully, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Wait... Is this...

"Gasoline, what did you do!!!"

The Blond Boy roared, looking at Twilight, only to see her coldly staring at him as if he were trash.

Then, she threw the metal lighter she was holding, and it landed not far from her feet.

"Before entering the game, I thought, since it's a Murderer in a mine tunnel."

"Then... could there be dynamite?"

As the girl's somewhat disdainful voice faded, a dazzling flame shot towards the Blond Boy.

It was too fast; he had no time to react!

"You're crazy, I might not die, but you definitely will!!!"

The Blond Boy instinctively took a few steps towards Twilight, then turned to watch the flames burn past his feet and stop at the dark rock wall about a meter in front of him.

The next moment.

BOOM!

In the narrow space, amidst flying debris, scorching flames surged towards the Blond Boy.

The mine tunnel shook violently, dust rained down from the ceiling, and the area of the explosion had already partially collapsed, the exit seemingly about to be buried!

It's okay!!! This was also caused by the survivors, wasn't it!

As a Murderer, I wouldn't be harmed at all!!!

The Blond Boy was losing his composure, praying constantly. Because of the close-range impact of the explosion and the shaking ground, he instinctively retreated, watching the flames surge towards him.

Sizzle crackle...!

He watched in disbelief as black energy appeared in front of him, blocking the debris and flames from the explosion. He finally couldn't help but laugh loudly, "Hahaha... It's okay!!!!"

"Really, is it okay?"

Then, at that moment, the Blond Boy heard a mocking voice sound in his ear, startling him greatly.

He couldn't help but turn around instinctively.

Without paying attention, that bitch actually ran over?

What does she want to do!

Use me as a shield to survive that terrifying explosion???

However, halfway through his turn, while his thoughts were still chaotic, he saw Twilight lowering her eyes, looking at him mockingly. Then, as he turned and dragged the Cleaver across the ground.

That girl.

She actually kicked the blade of the Cleaver fiercely!

"Fuck!"

The Blond Boy understood Twilight's intention and wanted to quickly let go of the Cleaver in his hand, but this sudden change was too fast. Twilight had already kicked the blade fiercely before him.

However, Twilight was not injured. As golden light enveloped her, the Blond Boy's body began to burn with scorching flames. He couldn't help but cover his face and cry out in pain.

"Why! Why is this happening!"

"You did all this just to scheme against me!?"

"You attacked me first, so why are you counting it as me attacking you!!!"

Twilight looked at the dying Blond Boy on the ground, casually swept the light pink hair from her shoulder behind her, tidied her hair, and said faintly, "I didn't kick your knife. It just so happened that when I was in front of you, I tripped on a rock and bumped into the knife you were dragging as you turned."

"If you had had more control over yourself when you left the room, and instead of dodging, you had counter-attacked directly, it wouldn't have been this troublesome."

The Blond Boy lay on the ground, his face unrecognizable. Before he died, his lips moved: "How many games have you played..."

"Why are you targeting me so much..."

"Am I... good enough..."

Twilight looked at him but didn't respond. As the system prompt sounded, she picked up the Cleaver from the ground and left.

In fact, before the game started, Twilight had brought a gun, a lighter, and other items.

She had even bought Blasting Caps and other things from the game store.

However, the only thing she actually brought in was the lighter.

The gunpowder was found by Twilight in the mine shaft as soon as she left the room, and she set up this trap.

Twilight did not leave through the collapsed mine shaft. Instead, she walked to the deepest part of the mine shaft, where a path covered by a cloth smeared with black coal was located, and left.

"I was only targeting the Murderer."

A somewhat pathological voice echoed within the dark and eerie mine shaft.
