Doll Survival Game - Chapter 147

A pile of monster corpses stacked up like a small mountain, the stench of blood spreading, severed limbs scattered across the ground.

And strangely, those monster corpses were highly decayed, as if they had been dead for several days.

However, perhaps because of the distance, their sense of smell only picked up a faint odor, but the visual impact was extremely strong, and the few players watching felt a wave of nausea all at once.

But it was odd-they had seen even more disgusting things before, with both visual and olfactory shocks, but the monsters before them were just disgusting as corpses, the smell wasn’t even that strong, so why did it make them so uncomfortable…

“Cover.” Li Han uttered a single word. He raised his hand to cover his mouth as a demonstration, his voice muffled as it came through his fingers: “Don’t. Breathe. Poisonous.”

The few people froze, then quickly covered their mouths.

Seeing their reaction, Li Han let go of his hand. But just as Li Han seemed about to say something else, the group exchanged glances and quickly turned to leave.

Li Han tilted his head slightly: “…?”

Watching them leave, Li Han turned his gaze to the side, looking at a black head in the shadows that thought it was well hidden.

Only this one hadn’t run-so why was he hiding?

Li Han wondered in confusion, but since the other party didn’t intend to come out, he didn’t plan to ask. He mechanically took two steps forward, then stopped again.

He stared at the wall he had cut down-those people said it was dangerous inside.

Then he’d better block it back up, though he didn’t think it was that dangerous.

The young man with the black crew cut in the shadows, having been glanced at by Li Han, wrapped his mouth and nose with his clothes. He watched the intimidating man hug himself again, then his clothes changed color, his hair and eyes turned snow-white, and eight legs grew from his back.

After his aura became even more terrifying, Li Han easily lifted the largest piece of the wall he had cut down and blocked the opening again.

But since the wall was shattered and Li Han only lifted the largest chunk, the blockage wasn’t tight.

So the young man with the crew cut watched as Li Han seemed to ponder in front of the half-open hole for a moment, then simply turned and left.

“…”

Hey-put in a bit more effort! There are so many stones around here, just block it up a bit more!

The young man was speechless for a while, then saw the thin Li Han really had no intention of continuing to block it, but instead changed back to his black-haired appearance and turned to leave. The young man paused, his gaze sweeping over the drafty wall-this person, not a bad heart…

And just now, he had let those players leave as well.

The young man with the crew cut gritted his teeth and stood up.

Li Han immediately turned around, his gaze landing directly on him without searching, not the least bit surprised.

He had already noticed him.

The young man’s legs trembled a bit with fear, but glancing at his own holographic display with its few and useless items, he mustered his courage: “Can I follow you?”

Li Han’s stiff, expressionless face visibly showed confusion: “Huh?”

The young man swallowed what he was about to say, remembering he hadn’t given his name: “I’m He Xiaoye.”

“Oh.” Li Han responded, then pointed at the holographic display with a puzzled expression: “But, we, are, enemies.”

He Xiaoye found this man’s way of speaking exhausting and, afraid, retreated a little. He said, “But I want to live a bit longer… When it’s the end, you can kill me!”

After saying this, He Xiaoye lowered his head, feeling there must be something wrong with him.

Because his current identity was, parasite.

If the person in front of him found out, he’d probably kill him on the spot.

But he had no choice, he could only take a gamble.

He had been forced to participate in this instance, the organization hadn’t even notified them when signing up, and now his organization already knew he was a parasite and was hunting him down.

But!

Wasn’t it unlucky enough to become a parasite? But he was different, he was the chosen unlucky one. Parasites were those who had been parasitized by monsters; although their identity changed, they also gained new abilities from being parasitized!

But his ability… had no offensive power at all.

He Xiaoye almost wanted to carve the word “tragic” on his own forehead.

And this time, only one organization could survive the instance. He was definitely, absolutely, without a doubt, going to die in this instance… As He Xiaoye thought this, he glanced at Li Han, clenching his hand-if only he had such powerful strength.

“…”

However. He Xiaoye looked at the rules again-among the long list of rules, one was about point deprivation: killing non-organization members would grant the other’s points.

So… Li Han’s points must be quite high.

Unfortunately, it was hard enough for him just to survive, let alone take someone else’s points.

The more He Xiaoye thought about it, the more depressed he became, unable to figure out his own mindset of seeking protection just to live a few days longer. He waved his hand: “Forget it…”

“Okay.” Li Han suddenly spoke. He said, “Fifteen, days, later. I, will kill, you.”

Li Han was very kind. He even comforted He Xiaoye: “I, am poisonous, won’t, let you, suffer.”

He Xiaoye: “…”

He Xiaoye: “Well, thanks for that.”

So be it, live a bit longer if he could.

Li Han gave a stiff smile: “No, need, to thank me.”

He Xiaoye: “…”

This guy was strong, but seemed a bit dumb. Plus, he hadn’t seen him on the leaderboard, nor heard about him from other players, so he was probably one of the last batch of players to enter the game… Maybe, with his own experience, he still had a chance to turn the tables?

Maybe.

He Xiaoye slowly moved closer to Li Han. Li Han stared at him for a while before saying, “By the way.”

He Xiaoye was startled: “!… Wh-what’s wrong?”

Li Han took a step back: “Don’t, get too close to me. My whole body is poisonous.”

“If you touch me, you’ll die.”

He Xiaoye froze-not good, he felt that even if Li Han fainted right in front of him, he probably couldn’t kill him.

Li Han kept his distance, then slowly looked at He Xiaoye, his dark eyes meeting He Xiaoye’s gaze.

He Xiaoye was a full two meters away from him: “What’s wrong?”

Li Han tilted his head. He was so thin that when he tilted his head, He Xiaoye felt he might topple over: “Do you, know…”

He Xiaoye blinked: “Know who?”

Li Han spoke: “Luo Yiran.”

He Xiaoye was stunned. He looked at Li Han, who continued: “I want to find him.”

Unaware that someone was looking for him, Luo Yiran was simply watching as the red covering Yuanling District on the map gradually faded. He leaned forward to look, but Via’s hair was so fluffy that he could only see a bit of his nose: “One less high-risk zone.”

The doll’s silver thread lacked the stickiness of spider silk, so Via’s fantasy of leaping across rooftops was shattered. He avoided monsters, weaving through buildings and streets. When he heard Luo Yiran’s words, Via instinctively looked up: “Why?”

Half of Luo Yiran’s body was buried in Via’s hair, and then, because Via suddenly looked up, he nearly slipped off. At that moment, he really missed the magician’s tall hat.

After steadying himself, the doll finally spoke slowly: “Because it’s no longer dangerous there, right?”

Via looked ahead at a “person” hunched almost ninety degrees. He immediately turned and took a detour, running quite confidently-after all, it was close, he wouldn’t get lost.

The doll could tell at a glance that Via hadn’t thought it through. He sighed again, feeling that he just couldn’t get along with Via.

Via was annoyed too. The road to Tianhong wasn’t far, but he still hadn’t reached it, and whether it was an illusion or not, the closer he got to Tianhong, the more and stronger the monsters became.

But these monsters could still be roughly divided into two types: monsters parasitizing human bodies and normal monsters.

“What are you sighing about!” Via saw a mass of brown monster ahead, its body as tall as two floors, slowly climbing a building. He clicked his tongue and took another detour: “Looks like there’s no way to reach the destination without fighting.”

“By the way, why do these monsters have to parasitize humans??”

Humans are food to them.

“It’s about size.” Luo Yiran sat up on Via’s head, his gaze shifting: “The stronger the monster, the bigger it is and the slower it moves. But monsters parasitizing humans can stay powerful while remaining agile.”

Via had avoided all the monsters with complete human forms from a distance, and Luo Yiran had been on his head the whole time, so he shouldn’t have observed them.

So he said: “Agile? Powerful? How do you know?”

The doll’s fingers spun, silver thread multiplying, his expression blank: “Behind us. They’re about to catch up.”

As soon as Luo Yiran finished speaking, Via sensed it too. He quickly jumped away from where he was.

After jumping away, he saw a woman in red appear where he had just been.

The woman looked up, feigning surprise as she opened her mouth: “Oh my… dodged?”

Via’s eyes widened: “She can talk… is she a player?!”

Previously, when he avoided those “people” from afar, at most they’d roar at him, and that sound was clearly not human language, so Via had assumed that NPCs parasitized by monsters couldn’t speak.

“She’s not.” Luo Yiran said bluntly: “She’s not on the ranking list.”

The woman showed no reaction to Luo Yiran and Via’s conversation. She spun her wrist bonelessly, then her five fingers extended straight at the two of them.

Via dodged and shouted: “You sure? There are so many people on the ranking list!”

“Sure.” Luo Yiran tugged at Via’s curls: “And after the last instance, about half the players on the ranking list disappeared, so there aren’t that many left.”

Via: “…”

Don’t say it like it’s so normal! Who the hell checks the ranking list after every instance ends??

The woman in red was making quite a commotion; fighting her would attract other monsters. Luo Yiran frowned lightly, quickly glancing at the ruined building about two hundred meters ahead-very close, worth a try.

Luo Yiran looked down and asked Via: “You can survive on your own, right?”

Via: “…”

Via forced a smile: “Are you seriously asking?”

He avoided those guys not because he couldn’t beat them!

“That’s fine then.” Luo Yiran glanced around, then extended his silver thread. As the woman in red attacked again, he jumped off Via’s head.

Two hundred meters for Via was nothing, but for him-

He had to use an item.

The air seemed to blur for a moment, then a “person” appeared, dressed in a dark red long suit, black tall hat pressed over gray long hair, body wrapped in black bandages.

At first glance, this “person” looked just like the magician.

Luo Yiran landed lightly on its tall hat and said to Via: “I’ll go ahead first. If you can’t handle it, just go back to where you were.”

There must be something in Tianhong that could change their current situation. The closer they got, the stronger this intuition became for the doll.

Like hell he couldn’t handle it! Via gritted his teeth angrily: “Worry about yourself entering the tiger’s den!”

“Eh-”

On the electric net, the magician let out a puzzled sound.

Then he suddenly leaned close to the electric net, his face almost touching it.

The magician looked at the black bandage “magician” controlled by Luo Yiran, his tone extremely eerie: “What is that thing?”
