Chapter 99: Entering the Game (2)

My strength was slowly returning, but in the face of this strange god who seemed to be smiling and talking strangely, I still didn’t know what to say.

I looked up at the sky, which was still a blue sky. Was I caught? I felt inexplicably relaxed, and I couldn’t help but laugh… I caught a glimpse of a woman in a black robe in the corner of my eye. She was looking askance at me with a look of indifference.

She opened her mouth and spat out a bubble of saliva, looking very happy.

Lin Xiaohua, compared to this woman, is my acting too bad?

My mind was filled with random thoughts, but I saw the god look at Lin Xiaohua with an inexplicable look, and suddenly waved his hand and said, “Take him back and change his clothes. As for you… go back and don’t appear in front of me until the end of the day.”

At this moment, the bubble of saliva in Lin Xiaohua’s mouth just broke. Her eyes revealed a hint of panic and sadness, and she didn’t say anything, turning around and leaving.

The god’s face showed an angry expression, and suddenly he took a step forward, grabbed Lin Xiaohua’s wrist, and whispered, “Don’t think I won’t do anything to you. When I’m more free, if you provoke me, I won’t let you get away with it either. You’d better believe this.”

“Why don’t you kill me?” Lin Xiaohua smiled charmingly.

I saw the side of the god’s face, and I was so angry that I could see the cheeks bulging because of the teeth clenched too tightly. He threw Lin Xiaohua’s hand away and then said to the two people in purple robes and conical hats beside him, “Keep an eye on her. Don’t let her leave your sight for a second.”

The two men in purple robes did not say a word, but quickly followed God’s command and walked behind Lin Xiaohua.

My heart suddenly felt cold, and Lin Xiaohua, for the first time, showed a kind of angry concern. In the end, she turned and left in a huff, and the two men in purple robes followed her closely, just as God had commanded.

I and God both watched Lin Xiaohua leave, and only when her figure disappeared behind the bamboo grove did we both look away.

I noticed that the look on God’s face when he saw Lin Xiaohua was always a bit complicated. Unlike when he faced other people, no matter how he tried to hide his emotions, he actually carried a sense of calm.

It seemed that this little episode with Lin Xiaohua had made God lose some of his desire to ‘tease’ me. He looked at me with a very disgusted look, then waved his hand, and several black-clad men hurriedly came over, helped me up, and walked towards the direction of the previous hut.

I noticed that the clothes these black-clad men were wearing were different from the ones I had seen before. Purple dark lines were coiled on their black clothes, and when I looked closely, it was a snake…

Are these higher-level zombies? Or, are they something else? I couldn’t guess what they were. The hands of these people holding me didn’t have the same cold feeling as the other black-clad people, but maybe it was because they were wearing gloves.

However, these should be the core figures around the god. I couldn’t observe them carefully because Lin Xiaohua had given me a lot of general information during our meetings these past few nights, and I was afraid that the details would determine success or failure.

I was eventually taken back to the mysterious courtyard, and then inexplicably, under the watchful eyes of several pairs of eyes, I took a bath and changed clothes again. Of course, I put on the white robe that only gods can wear.

During this process, the god came to my room again, still sitting in the same position in the room, high above everyone else, tapping the armrest of the chair with his fingers, and looking at me with eyes that showed no sign of concealing his anger and hatred for me.

“You’ve delayed me for half an hour.” Suddenly, the god spoke.

At that time, I was wearing pants. I was almost used to being watched by God like this, but he said something like this? I looked at him, and the expression on my face became more indifferent…

He stood up abruptly, as if he was angry at my indifference, but he quickly calmed down and walked back and forth in the room in a somewhat irritated manner before saying, “Everything has a price. My half-hour is not something you can afford to waste. You are indebted to Lin Xiaohua, aren’t you? But you are still my fish, and your fate cannot be changed.”

At this moment, I had already put on the white robe, but I still didn’t respond to anything the god said. I only had a heavy expression on my face, and my movements were increasingly weak… However, I also felt that this god was really different. Not to mention comparing with real immortals, even if compared with ordinary high-level people, he also appeared to be extremely neurotic, as if he had multiple personality disorder.

“Huh… you really do know how to be scared? For your miserable fate that cannot be changed? Because in the next half hour, I guarantee that you will be even more miserable. From the look on your face, you must have used some kind of secret technique, right? I am very interested, but you don’t have to tell me, I will know anyway.” The god didn’t care whether I answered him or not, he just kept talking to himself.

I don’t know why, but I always feel that he is nervous, so he is talking to himself in a nervous manner. What is he talking about?

But I was already too tired to listen to his rambling, so I calmly said, “Haven’t you already wasted half an hour? Do you want to waste even more time?”

This sentence was ordinary, but it suddenly seemed to have irritated the god. He suddenly rushed to my front, grabbed my collar, and roared at me in a voice that could almost make my ears deaf. “Say, why are you so calm? Do you have any cards I haven’t guessed?”

I looked up at him, looked like a madman, and said, “Aren’t you the almighty god? Can’t you figure out what my trump card is by just calculating it?”

In my opinion, this is the sentence that can provoke the god, but I didn’t expect that after I said this sentence, the god suddenly calmed down, let go of my collar, and then reached out to help me smooth out the wrinkles on my collar before saying, “If you are so confident, then I know that your trump card is just that woman, Lin Xiaohua. I know that she won’t be honest.”

“What? How do you know? You’re not…” My face suddenly turned ugly, and my body was so weak that I couldn’t even stand up. I took a few steps backwards, and suddenly fell to the bed behind me.

Seeing my reaction, the god suddenly smiled and said, “Do you think Lin Xiaohua can come to save you? Can she destroy me? No one can stop me! I have to tell you with regret that Lin Xiaohua is unlikely to appear. Compared to you, I am probably much more important.”

After saying this, the god appeared to be unusually refreshed, and walked out of the house with his hands behind his back. His voice, however, clearly entered the house: “You’re right. Time can’t be delayed anymore. Let’s go.”

Then, the black-robed men in purple with dark patterns on their clothes mercilessly grabbed me and dragged me out of the house.

My body was getting weaker and weaker, and I could only let them drag me, step by step, towards an unknown fate… even my entire expression became dull.

Once again, I walked through the thick foggy bamboo forest and across the vast lawn, and was pulled by these people into a building that looked like a palace.

Perhaps they thought I was taking too long, because when I entered the building, I saw several people in gray robes carrying something that looked like a “sliding pole” waiting for me. Then I was thrown up by the black-robed men in purple and carried away by the gray-robed men.

We began to shuttle through the layers of gorgeous buildings. My expression remained gloomy. The gods had revealed my greatest secret, hadn’t they?

But I couldn’t help but observe, and found that the gray-robed people carrying the “sliding pole” and leading me were actually real people, people with will and life. No wonder they didn’t wear the straw hat… it’s just that their expressions were too strange, a kind of numb calm that had been suppressed for a long time.

Many of these buildings are open, and I found that it was not at all what I had imagined. It was all for the gods alone, and there were people in almost every large building. There were also people in gray robes going back and forth busily serving, and I occasionally saw a figure in a light green robe looking at me with an ambiguous expression.

In any case, this scene always makes people realize that something big is going to happen today?

Isn’t it me?

My face grew more and more ugly, but I couldn’t help but think that it seemed to be customary here to use the color of clothing to divide people into different classes, and everything here was even more…

The gray-robed people were extremely fast. Before I could think clearly about everything here, I was already carried by them to the bottom of the stairs of that huge platform…
