Chapter 119.3

“Yu Fuling!” Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian yelled at the same time, but it was too late. The moment Yu Fuling was pierced by the black thorn, a giant hole appeared in her body and it quickly began to melt and disappear…

In less than a second, Yu Fuling was gone.

Shen Yuan turned around, too late to even see Yu Fuling’s last moment.

“…Su Manluo?” Xiao Tangqiu looked at the person who attacked Yu Fuling in disbelief, “You…you are not Su Manluo?!”

Maybe it was because Su Manluo was the first veteran player he met in the instance, but he never doubted Su Manluo. Even Shen Yuan didn’t feel anything wrong!

Su Manluo smiled lightly and her face suddenly began to melt. Her skin instantly turned into liquid dripping to the ground, and she finally revealed her true face.

Not surprisingly, it was Lily Marlene.

“It’s you again…” Xiao Tangqiu gritted his teeth, “Why is it you again? What do you want!”

Lily Marlene smiled, “Of course it’s the sword behind you.”

Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help but feel a chill go down his back. It turned out that the Abyss Demon’s people had been lurking beside them from the beginning, and he never even doubted it. Obviously, there were so many suspicious points, like how could Su Manluo appear so coincidentally at that time right by them. And he never doubted…

“What about the real Su Manluo? Is she dead?”

Lily Marlene smiled and did not answer Xiao Tangqiu’s question, “You are about to die, do you have time to care about others?”

Xiao Tangqiu gritted his teeth, “Who said we will definitely die? Not necessarily!”

Lily Marlene looked at Xiao Tangqiu with pity, “You… can’t even defeat me, so who are you trying to beat?”

Xiao Tangqiu was about to pull out his crossbow but Tang Mianmian suddenly rushed up, “Qiuqiu! Hurry and pull the sword with Shen Yuan! I will stop this witch!”

“You?” Xiao Tangqiu was taken aback, “You plan to…”

As soon as Tang Mianmian’s voice fell, he transformed into Lily Marlene and charged at the real Lily Marlene!

Two Lily Marlenes!

Xiao Tangqiu reacted instantly, right! This is Tang Mianmian’s special skill! But he remembered that Tang Mianmian’s special skill couldn’t last very long… He must pull out the stone sword before Tang Mianmian’s special skill ended!

“Jiayou! Hold on for me!” Xiao Tangqiu yelled at Tang Mianmian, then turned and sprinted towards Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan stretched out his hands and pulled on the sword without hesitation, but after a while, he released his grip and shook his head, “Can’t.”

“Can’t? Can’t pull it out?” Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t believe it, “Even you can’t pull it out?”

Shen Yuan was the most powerful person among them. If even Shen Yuan couldn’t draw the sword, then it was even more impossible for the rest of them to draw the sword!

Shen Yuan gritted his teeth and tried again. He used all his strength and blue veins popped out on his forehead, but the stone sword remained motionless.

“How is this possible? It can’t be!” Xiao Tangqiu murmured. If even Shen Yuan couldn’t pull it out, who else could pull out this sword?

Shen Yuan closed his eyes, seeming to use the magic power flowing in his body. But after a moment, he began to show an expression of pain and struggle, as if he had fallen into some terrifying illusion.

Xiao Tangqiu shouted Shen Yuan’s name but Shen Yuan couldn’t seem to hear anything. His eyes were closed in pain, his face was pale, and he was covered in cold sweat.

“Shen Yuan!” Xiao Tangqiu quickly pushed Shen Yuan away. Shen Yuan finally released his grip on the stone sword. He knelt down on one leg, panting heavily.

Xiao Tangqiu gritted his teeth, “Let me try!”

Without waiting for Shen Yuan to catch his breath, he rushed forward, grabbed the stone sword, and tried his best to pull it out.

It was not until now that Xiao Tangqiu finally understood how Shen Yuan had pulled on the sword for a long time but did not move. This stone sword felt like it grew out of the stone throne. Not only could it not be pulled, but it would even pull people down.

He gritted his teeth and pulled it with all of his strength for a long time. But all his efforts were like throwing a mudball into the ocean, washed away and gone without any impact.

He pulled on the sword while looking towards Tang Mianmian with difficulty. At this time, although Tang Mianmian relied on his special skill to turn into Lily Marlene and temporarily possessed the strong power Lily Marlene had, his use of Lily Marlene’s power was obviously not as with ease as Lily Marlene herself. Soon, he was beaten by the other and retreated with wounds.

The worst thing was that Tang Mianmian’s special skill could only be used three times, each time lasting only one minute. Tang Mianmian had used up the skill two times in a blink of an eye, and now it was already the last time. Although it still maintained Lily Marlene’s appearance, Tang Mianmian’s situation was much more abysmal. On top of a broken arm, he also had a giant hole in his abdomen. Normal people would have died long ago after suffering such a serious injury. He himself didn’t know what perseverance he had to persist until now.

Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t bear to watch anymore, and at this moment, the last of Tang Mianmian’s special skill ended. He turned back to his original appearance and collapsed to the ground.

The opposite Lily Marlene was unscathed. She looked at Tang Mianmian condescendingly, her eyes full of pity, “It’s a pity… But even if you become me entirely, you can’t beat me.”

Xiao Tangqiu realized, “No… don’t!”

He instinctively wanted to loosen the hands gripping the stone sword and rush over to save Tang Mianmian, but for some reason, suddenly he couldn’t let go. The stone sword seemed to be stuck tightly to his hands, unable to be parted from him.

“Don’t!”

Lily Marlene walked to Tang Mianmian, grabbed Tang Mianmian’s neck with one hand and lifted him up. Tang Mianmian was like a rag doll, all in tatters, without even the last bit of strength to struggle.

She turned to look at Xiao Tangqiu who was pulling the sword, and said quietly, “Even if you draw the sword now… it’s too late for anything.”

Xiao Tangqiu desperately tried to make his hands let go, but the stone sword stuck firmly to them. Not only could he not release his hands, he couldn’t even move, just like a bug stuck on a pitcher plant.

Lily Marlene sighed, “It’s a pity that no one can pull this sword out, and it looks like you can’t either.”

Her hands began to slowly use strength. Tang Mianmian didn’t even struggle before his head dropped and he was gone.

She threw Tang Mianmian’s body aside, and then slowly walked towards Xiao Tangqiu.

One step, two steps…

Xiao Tangqiu stared at Tang Mianmian’s corpse blankly. His mind was empty and his eyes were bloodshot. Tang Mianmian was his only friend in the real world and his best friend after crossing into this horror game world… After Tang Mianmian died, it’s his turn next, right?

Once he died this time, he would probably never be resurrected.

But so what? Either way, everyone was going to die…

At this moment, Xiao Tangqiu suddenly felt a sharp pain.

It was an unprecedented pain, pain that resounded in his soul.

He closed his eyes subconsciously… Was it finally his turn?

Death finally fell on his head.

In other words, death finally officially fell on his head again?

Xiao Tangqiu felt his consciousness float up, his soul seemed to float up and down in a void, there was darkness everywhere, chaos everywhere, nothingness everywhere. In the entire universe, only he existed, only he was real…

…

“Qiuqiu!”

“Qiuqiu!”

“Xiao Tangqiu!”

This again, this again.

Tang Mianmian was calling him again… Honestly, this guy was so noisy.

…Wait, no, wasn’t Tang Mianmian dead?

Was it just a dream just now?

Was the instance over?

Did they return to the City of the Abyss?

Xiao Tangqiu opened his eyes with difficulty, he subconsciously looked for Tang Mianmian but he met Shen Yuan’s eyes.

Shen Yuan?

He frowned slightly, “Shen Yuan? What happened… Where’s Tang Mianmian?”

Shen Yuan raised his brows and showed a puzzled look, “Shen Yuan? Who is Shen Yuan?”

“Don’t joke around, now is not the time,” Xiao Tangqiu turned his head and desperately looked for Tang Mianmian, “Where is Tang Mianmian? Where is Tang Mianmian?!”

The doubt in Shen Yuan’s eyes deepened, “Tang Mianmian? Who is Tang Mianmian?”

Xiao Tangqiu gritted his teeth abruptly, “…I said don’t joke around! This is not the time to make jokes! Shen Yuan you…”

“Shen Yuan?” Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows, pointed at his own nose with a finger, “Are you talking about me? But I’m not Shen Yuan.”

Xiao Tangqiu was taken aback for a moment then he blurted out, “If you are not Shen Yuan, who else can you be?”

Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with doubts, “Qiuqiu, did you sleep yourself stupid? Did you even forget my name?

“…I am Meng Xinghe.

“Meng. Xing. He.”
