Nan Bei nodded.
The two walked over. The middle-aged man was still in low spirits. Shen Yu seemed to have recovered and greeted Zhu Ling as if nothing had happened.
Nan Bei glanced at him in surprise.
The next second, both of them were surrounded by sword light.
"Kill them!"
Nan Bei did not hesitate, took out his dagger, and stabbed it into Shen Yu's body.
"Brother Nan..."
He died before he could finish speaking.
Nan Bei was about to deal with the other person.
"Let him do it."
Nan Bei was confused but still handed the dagger to Jian Yan.
Jian Yan's face was pale, and he shook his head frantically.
"No, I can't kill people! They are your companions, you lunatics! I don't want to, don't want to!"
"Pfft."
Zhu Ling didn't have time to waste with him. She grabbed his hand and thrust it forward. The man slowly fell, not saying a word until he died.
Like his original self, he was quite sensible.
With both of them dealt with, Zhu Ling withdrew her sword light and sat down, looking at the indifferent Nan Bei. "You believe me?"
Nan Bei raised his head slightly. "He liked Zhan Ying. Even if he confirmed Zhan Ying was fake, he wouldn't be this quick to seek revenge."
Moreover, everything was still uncertain.
Zhu Ling instantly understood.
Nan Bei frowned and asked again, "Why did you do that just now?"
He was referring to making Jian Yan kill the middle-aged man.
"Look at this." Zhu Ling held up her communication device.
A bright red "2" was displayed, showing their score.
The game rule was that everyone who survived after seven days would get two points for success. After Zhu Ling killed Zhan Ying, her score became 2.
So she deduced that killing one person earned one point.
Nan Bei also saw the changing number on his communication device and immediately understood.
He even thought of more.
"If everyone who looked in the mirror gets a copy, does that mean if everyone kills themselves or someone else's copy, they can all leave safely?"
This was a huge loophole.
If everyone in this game knew about this, they could use this loophole to survive.
But the game's initial purpose was slaughter and destruction, and this was no exception. Not everyone could discover this loophole.
For example, if they hadn't been noticed by Zhu Ling who saw they had no souls, would those copies have killed them and impersonated them to leave?
Even the intelligent Nan Bei broke out in a cold sweat.
He said quickly, "The copies also have points. We kill them to take their points, and they kill us for the same reason. If they kill us, they can impersonate us and leave the game world, taking our place in the real world..."
They might even harm their relatives and friends.
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
Zhu Ling stood up and said calmly, "Let's go."
Nan Bei quickly grabbed his bag and followed.
Jian Yan looked terrified and held Zhu Ling's hand tightly.
This person is amazing!
She saw through it at a glance.
He wanted to follow her and monitor her.
See what other skills she had.
He would never admit that he simply liked being around this person.
Hmph!
Zhu Ling led the way, with the burning cards illuminating the path. Nan Bei followed closely, and Jian Yan was tied to Zhu Ling, making it safer.
"Where would they be?"
"Downstairs."
Those two people just now said they had thrown people downstairs.
Were the people really downstairs?
This ancient castle was huge and extremely eerie. Now that there were people who could perfectly replicate their actions and abilities coming out of mirrors, finding them would be even harder.
He chose to follow Zhu Ling's lead.
After the system could no longer enter the game world last time, Zhu Ling became wary of this broken game. Everyone had her mark on them, so they quickly found the two people who had been knocked out and thrown beside "Zhan Ying's" corpse.
Nan Bei's hanging heart finally dropped when he saw them. He stepped forward and woke them up, looking at the dazed two and said angrily, "Don't you know what's going on here? Why did you come here?"
Shen Yu rubbed his lower back and said aggrievedly, "Boss, it's not that we weren't careful. The one who attacked was Miss Jiang's... We couldn't beat her at all."
