Ward One.
Sweating profusely, Li Daiping slipped a hand into his pocket and tightly gripped the One-Time Item he had redeemed—
[False Tear] [A false tear shed by a statue. Swallow it to become a statue, immune to all damage.]
At first glance, it was an extremely useful One-Time Item.
Turning himself into a statue, immune to all damage... it practically gave him an extra life. And it cost only fifty Spirit Pupils, thirty-one fewer than the [Substitute Doll], which had a similar effect.
But... the [False Tear] had a side effect he could not afford to ignore.
After swallowing the tear, the user's body would become a statue. This did grant immunity to all damage, but the player could not turn back into a human at will.
To turn back from a statue into a human, they had to be touched by other players-every other player participating in that game.
If there were five people in the game, the user would need to be touched by all four others to become human again.
Under those circumstances, if a player had already died, the surviving players would have to bring that player's corpse over to "touch" the statue.
In this game, however, it was possible to die without leaving an intact corpse, or to become a Vengeful Ghost after death.
So, compared to its powerful lifesaving ability, this One-Time Item's side effect was equally chilling.
Still... Li Daiping did not dare go without redeeming it.
It was his last lifesaving trump card.
This was the Ultimate Game... the Ultimate Game that even Yang had backed away from once.
As he thought about this, he realized he had arrived outside the ward he was looking for.
Knock, knock, knock-
