Under the dazzling lights, the chip mask was slowly removed from the white-robed Gate Eye's face, revealing her true appearance.
Not far away, Old Liu stared blankly with his one eye, his expression frozen.
It was... her?
"I told you, we would meet again if fate allowed." The white-robed Gate Eye smiled. "For the first twenty days, you proved your character; on the final night, you showed your wisdom and courage. You passed the trial here and earned the Life Stone's recognition. So you are the one who will defy heaven and change fate."
In the empty hall, Old Liu stared blankly at the white-robed Gate Eye, feeling somewhat dazed.
She was none other than the fourteen- or fifteen-year-old girl who had been "depending on him for survival" in the little Safe House all this time.
One look at her instantly cleared up many details that had puzzled Old Liu.
She had said before that she had come to the SS-Rank Star Gate quite "by chance" because she needed to complete a chain quest.
But when Players entered a Star Gate, they received very explicit warnings about its danger level, such as its death mechanics. Yet she had no fighting ability whatsoever. Knowing how dangerous it was here, why had she still come?
With eighty people competing, wasn't she afraid of dying? Don't tell him a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old couldn't understand the Star Gate's warnings...
Also, after Wang Dong and the others had violated this girl, she had begged nearly every Player for help, hoping they would rescue her. But all of them had chosen to pretend they hadn't seen her, or had seen her but hadn't dared help.
Wang Dong's eyes were everywhere, upstairs and downstairs in the Safe House. Her pleading could only bring her even crueler treatment
