Suicide

Thanks: Mingyu Yanran tipped 100 Qidian coins; Nitian de Hudie tipped 500 Qidian coins; Mingyu Yanran tipped 100 Qidian coins. Rat-a-tat-tat! A stream of fire burst from Ye Siyu's rifle. Bullets tore through the air toward the mercenaries ahead, who were shooting zombies that had not quite died.

"Aah! Aah! Aah!"

Screams rang out as the mercenaries were struck and fell one after another. Disbelief showed on every face. None of them understood why Ye Siyu had suddenly opened fire on them from behind.

But no one except Ye Siyu could answer them. The question could only follow them to their eternal rest in hell.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Only after Ye Siyu had shot all the mercenaries and that scumbag Spence Parks dead did Zheng Zha, Alice and the others react. They all stared at Ye Siyu angrily and demanded an answer, raising their guns and pointing them at him.

Although they were not very familiar with the mercenaries—and Zheng Zha and his companions even regarded them as NPCs-after fighting such a harrowing battle together, Zheng Zha had developed feelings for these plot characters. Now that he had seen Ye Siyu kill them for no apparent reason, how could he not be angry?

"Just as you saw, I killed them," Ye Siyu said calmly. He showed no guilt or any other change in emotion over what he had just done. He was utterly cold.

"You!" Alice pointed furiously at Ye Siyun when she heard his answer. She had never imagined that, after doing such a thing, Ye Siyu would not even bother to explain.

"Red Queen! Close the laser corridor!" Ye Siyu glanced at the number 100 beside the digital time on his watch, then spoke calmly.

With a hiss, the laser corridor's door closed.

"You!" Seeing Ye Siyu ignore her completely, Alice's delicate face twisted with anger.

"Impressive! Impressive! You really are the most impressive person I've ever met." Just then, Zhang Jie began to clap. Although he was praising Ye Siyu, his gaze was full of wariness and a trace of coldness that an ordinary person would have found hard to detect.

"You flatter me. No matter how impressive I am, I can't compare to you," Ye Siyu replied. A faint smile appeared on his previously impassive face, and his dark, deep-set gaze met Zhang Jie's eyes directly.

The atmosphere between them grew slightly tense.

"Ugh..." Just then, a painful groan broke the silence. Everyone turned toward the sound and saw Zhan Lan lying on the floor not far behind Zheng Zha, her face pale and contorted with pain. Both hands were pressed to her abdomen, and blood had stained her clothes red.

"Zhan Lan! Are you all right?!"

Seeing that Zhan Lan had been shot, Zheng Zha immediately went over to check on her. But he was no doctor, so there was nothing he could do except offer her a few words of comfort.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Over on the other side, Ye Siyu saw that Zhan Lan had been shot in the abdomen and, to everyone's surprise, began swearing nonstop. He was completely different from the man who had previously shown utter indifference to everything.

"Damn it, I have to do it all over again!" Under everyone's astonished gazes, Ye Siyu raised the rifle in his hands. This time, however, he did not point it at anyone else. He pressed the muzzle directly beneath his own chin.

"What are you doing?!" Zheng Zha, Zhang Jie and the others were stunned by Ye Siyu's actions. They could not understand what he was trying to do.

Bang!

A loud gunshot answered their question. Ye Siyu pulled the trigger, and the bullet shattered his head like a watermelon.

Cold darkness. It seemed as though only an instant had passed, yet it also seemed as though hundreds or thousands of years had gone by.

It was like a world before chaos had been sundered: no sky, no earth, no sound, nothing at all. Even more maddeningly, there was not the slightest echo, even if one shouted at the top of one's lungs.

Faced with this environment, Ye Siyu did not panic in the least. He simply waited in silence.

Suddenly, a dazzling point of light appeared in the darkness. A ray pierced the dark like a sharp sword, gradually bringing light to the world.

Click-clack! Click-clack! Click-clack!

Cold, violent shaking...

Ye Siyu's eyes snapped open, and he scrambled to his feet. He was in a train carriage traveling at high speed. The darkness around him, the carriage's violent shaking and the bloodstains flashing rapidly past made it seem like a train hurtling toward hell.

The scene was so familiar. Counting this time, Ye Siyu had experienced it 156 times.

"Not bad. You have the best potential of everyone who came this time." A cold voice rang out.

Fuck... that same pretentious face again... Ye Siyu thought in frustration when he heard the voice. He turned to see Zhang Jie puffing away on a cigarette with an exceedingly pretentious air.

"Give me one." In a foul mood, Ye Siyu paid no attention to what Zhang Jie might think. He walked straight up to him, reached into his pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.

Under Zhang Jie's dumbstruck gaze, he leaned against the wall of the train, lit a cigarette and began to smoke.

"What... who are you?" Zhang Jie stared blankly at Ye Siyu, who had just done something so baffling. His head was a complete muddle. He had no idea what was going on, or whether he was the veteran or the strange young man before him was.

Ye Siyu was in too foul a mood to answer Zhang Jie's question. He simply stood there smoking in silence, thinking about a few things.

"Uh..." Seeing Ye Siyu ignore him, Zhang Jie felt thoroughly frustrated too. He could not understand why Ye Siyu could remain calm in this situation. Could he be a veteran who had transferred from another team rather than a newcomer?

But he quickly dismissed the thought. As a half-guide, half-captain, he knew perfectly well that this was Team China's latest mission after its total annihilation. Only newcomers could enter; there was no way a veteran could appear.

Still, this newcomer was far too strange. He had woken up, asked no questions and simply taken his cigarettes. Zhang Jie could not make sense of what was going on at all.

"Where is this? Who are you? Why am I here?"

Just as Zhang Jie was puzzling over it, another newcomer woke up, pulling him out of his frustration.
