Chapter 24 The Demise of the Alliance

Mingmei's guess about the free-for-all wasn't just a random thought.

Watching Mu Chen effortlessly handle the attacks of four people, without the slightest hint of panic, Mingmei was truly amazed.

He could even multitask throughout the entire process, dissolving the fragile alliance of the four players before him with his words.

"Guigui, why is he so amazing?"

"Host, you can be too if you want. Your combat skills are also strong."

Guigui could feel the starlight in her host's eyes as she looked at Mu Chen.

What was this?!

Was this something that Guigui, the great Six-Six, could accept?!

"Yeah, I know. But I'm not talking about his fighting skills. I'm talking about his brain. Even though the opponents are more numerous, those four actually can't suppress his aura."

Mingmei leaned against the tree trunk, watching the battle not far away, and communicated with Guigui about the battle situation, "I wonder who the next entry point will be?"

As if telepathically connected, Mingmei felt the battlefield needed a variable, and Mu Chen directly blocked Bai Xiao's oncoming dagger.

He grabbed the other person's wrist, turned abruptly, dodged the sneak attack from behind, and was about to stab Lou Jia, who was behind him, in the chest with Bai Xiao and the dagger!

"Dangerous!"

Unexpectedly, at the last moment, Da Yao jumped out from the other side and used a tree branch to deflect the oncoming dagger, saving Lou Jia.

Because she couldn't stab the person, Mu Chen simply let go of Bai Xiao's hand, allowing Bai Xiao to fall directly in front of Mu Chen.

Just as Bai Xiao brushed past Mu Chen as she fell, Mu Chen whispered in Bai Xiao's ear, "Even now, can't you see who is actually on whose side?"

"Lu Xiaoyao" didn't care if she lived or died in order to save Lou Jia. Her position just now was clearly not a coincidental rescue!

If it was intentional, why didn't she attack when her hand was being restrained by Mu Chen?

Some things can be left unsaid, allowing one to play dumb, but once these words are spoken, the damage is absolutely explosive.

Mingmei also noticed this detail of Mu Chen's.

She saw the slight movement of Mu Chen's lips as Bai Xiao rushed past him.

Although she couldn't hear what Mu Chen said, Mingmei had already guessed the gist of it.

"Da Yao is in big trouble now."

Mingmei expressed her regret for Da Yao's actions just now in saving Lou Jia. At least at that moment, even Julian, who had been attacking Mu Chen, stopped his movements.

His gaze remained fixed on Da Yao and Lou Jia's direction.

Even Bai Xiao could notice that Da Yao intentionally saved Lou Jia. How could he not see it?

In that instant, Julian was certain that Lou Jia had secretly allied with another person without his knowledge.

If he were to eliminate Mu Chen now, what would happen next?

Would he become the "1" in the next 1v3 situation?

Da Yao, who had saved Lou Jia, also belatedly realized that she seemed to have been tricked by Mu Chen. But at the moment, she couldn't stop. Eliminating Mu Chen as soon as possible was the best choice. Otherwise, she would face a 2v3 situation at any time.

Therefore, Mingmei almost laughed at the ensuing "1v4" scene.

The battle between the four players with ulterior motives and Mu Chen was more like a joke.

Even though Da Yao kept emphasizing how terrifying Mu Chen was, saying that his mind games were because he was afraid of them, and constantly stressed that they should eliminate Mu Chen first!

But, as Mingmei said, this siege against Mu Chen meant the game was really going to its finale.

The first to be eliminated was Da Yao.

Bai Xiao stabbed Da Yao with the dagger in her hand, and as Da Yao was stabbed, she also inserted the sharpened branch in her hand into the other person's neck.

"Sorry."

Because they knew each other in private, but ended up playing the game like this, Bai Xiao still chose to apologize to Da Yao when she logged off for the last time.

"Yeah, I'm sorry too. I hope we can forget this unpleasant memory after the game ends."

Da Yao thought it was better for Lu Xiaoyao not to know about this memory.

Mingmei had to praise Mu Chen's operation. Although she didn't know why Bai Xiao suddenly acted this way, it must have been related to what Mu Chen had said earlier.

And then, this sudden turn of events was absolutely brilliant.

Mingmei thought of the school's psychological health room. She had heard Lu Xiaoyao say that students in school were monitored throughout the entire game.

Those who had a bad game experience or were left with a huge shadow would be notified to go to the psychological health room after the game.

Lu Xiaoyao had complained to Mingmei about how she, such a sunny and beautiful girl, could have problems?

Well, now, it was estimated that those two would have to go.

With two people instantly eliminated due to infighting, Julian and Lou Jia were dumbfounded.

"Meow! Guigui, look at their positions!"

Mingmei had just wanted to lament the complexity of people's hearts to Guigui about Da Yao and Bai Xiao's sudden mutual destruction, but the next second, she discovered a new highlight regarding the remaining three players.

"What's wrong?"

"Triangular formation, can you see it?"

"Yeah."

"The alliance between the other two players has also broken down. Now it's 1v1v1."

Because of Mu Chen's words and Da Yao's actions in saving Lou Jia, Julian and Lou Jia's alliance was already on the verge of collapse. Until Bai Xiao's sudden betrayal, Julian was even more afraid to trust Lou Jia.

He was worried that Lou Jia would stab him in the back like Bai Xiao.

The situation was very delicate at the moment.

Lou Jia wasn't stupid to the changes in Julian. He was even afraid that Julian would use Mu Chen to trick him.

"It's really over now."

Mingmei covered her face with her hands. After all, they couldn't beat Mu Chen in a 1v4 situation. Who gave them the confidence in a 1v1v1 situation?

...

"Okay, let's go back."

Mu Chen didn't even bother to clean up the corpses. After solving the remaining two people, he turned around and smiled at the tree where Mingmei was hiding.

Several corpses behind him, bright sunshine on his face. This sense of incongruity made Mingmei feel a sense of fear, but at the same time, she couldn't help but want to get closer to him.

Subconsciously, a voice seemed to tell her that he wouldn't hurt her.

"Do you need me to carry you down?"

Just as Mingmei was in a daze, Mu Chen had already arrived under the big tree, looking up at Mingmei, who was lying on the branch, his eyes gentle. He opened his arms, "Do you want to come down?"

"Yeah..."

Although she knew what he meant by holding out his arms, Mingmei raised her chin and said, "I can come down myself."

"I know."

"Then why are you holding out your arms?"

"I'm just providing you with another option for coming down." He said it gently and restrainedly, but as Mingmei lay there, meeting the eyes of the person under the tree, he looked at her like a devout believer yearning for the mercy of the high and mighty god he worshipped...
