Chapter 924: Uncertainty
The room became very quiet.
With a clink, the silverware slid out of loli's hands, and she picked up the napkin, clearly wanting to keep the blood from staining her body.
— Who told you this secret? The smile faded from Alice's face, but after just a moment, she shook her head. "No, — she said, and the smile returned to her face.
— The first player has passed the second game — " said the wolf butler, and he came up behind the third brother and signaled him to stand up.
— That's all we could do
— Now we have nothing left.
The eldest and second brother were not surprised by the third brother's words. They received this information earlier. Contractors could ask Alice to "hang" them. If she gives her consent, the contractor will eventually die, and if she refuses, the contractor will be able to complete the second game and get all the rewards at the same time.
Su Xiao raised his wine glass. He had no doubt that the three brothers had been able to get some very valuable information about the games from someone.
Although third brother had succeeded, Su Xiao wasn't going to try to repeat his success, because he had no idea what had just happened.
As they moved around the first floor, Su Xiao had the feeling that the three hooligans seemed to know something about the castle, but not much.
— Miss Alice, can I take a break? Wash said. He decided to take a safer approach.
However, his question was not answered. Alice just gave him a sideways glance and ignored him.
Most likely, to get the desired effect, you had to ask a specific question.
— Miss Alice... You can… You can… Hang me? Loli's timid voice rang out.
— Of course, " Alice said, and looked at her with a smile.
The loli's pupils immediately narrowed.
A rope suddenly appeared out of thin air and immediately wrapped itself around the loli's neck.
*Kr-r-r-r~*
The rope began to tighten and the loli's body rose into the air.
Her face quickly turned red, and her body actively tried to get out of this trap.
— Die for - " The doll suddenly slipped out of the loli's sleeve, and a golden light immediately flashed on it.
With a loud pop, the loli fell to the ground. The bruise quickly disappeared from her neck, but it appeared on the neck of her doll.
— Loli muttered and looked warmly at the doll on the floor, her face showing pain.
Asking Alice to hang was very dangerous, but since this loli had a way to avoid death, she decided to take the risk.
And it was precisely because of this episode that Su Xiao decided to abandon this method.
After looking at the wine glass, he drank most of the No. 1 potion and lifted his head, draining the glass in one gulp.
[Notification: The hunter drank the blood agate.]
[Notification: The hunter will not be able to receive any external healing effects for 20 minutes and will be in a vulnerable state*.]
[*Vulnerable State — any incoming damage will be increased by 2 times.]
The red wine was very aromatic, but also very dangerous.
After drinking this wine, the contractor would not be able to restore his health by external means, plus he would take twice as much damage, and this effect could not be removed somehow.
Compared to meat, this glass of wine was much more dangerous. Su Xiao remembered Alice pouring this wine with a smile, and her smile was genuine.
Did she have a black heart? No, this woman couldn't be judged in terms of "good" and "evil." She committed horrific and vicious acts with good intentions. For example, after stabbing a person, she would immediately start kindly rewinding the wound and say some comforting words, and as soon as she bandaged the wound, she would stab them again, saying something like, " This is for your own good».
He still had half the steak left on his plate. If Su Xiao ate it, he would lose about 160% of his health.
In other words, if he ate it, he would die.
However, there was one good news — the effect of this wine only blocked external sources of healing, but did not block natural regeneration.
Right now, Su Xiao's stats all rested on the barrier, plus he had a body that had 40% immunity to any magic damage.
Catwoman and the other contractors were obviously inferior to him.
Due to having good natural regeneration, he might be able to win this game.
Wash looked really bad right now and clearly couldn't think of a way out of this situation.
Third brother used the trump card not because he was afraid of death, but because he wanted to eliminate the effect of the blood agate. The three brothers were connected to each other, so if the third brother could continuously heal himself, most of the damage taken would go to him, which would help the first and second brother survive.
— Finish your meal in 20 minutes. That's the etiquette of the castle, " the wolf butler said, and took out a stopwatch.
Su Xiao's pupils narrowed. Now he couldn't hope for his own regeneration, but because he had drunk most of the No. 1 potion before the wine, his health had already recovered to 99%.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao cut a very small piece from the steak and tossed it to Bubtney.
Bubtney immediately jumped up and swallowed it.
[Notice: Your follower, Bubtni, has absorbed the flesh and blood of a super-powerful creature.]
Su Xiao wasn't surprised when he saw this notification. This steak was made from dragon meat, and the dragons were obviously powerful enough for Heaven to recognize them as not just strong, but super-strong creatures.
Bubtney's health started to decline rapidly, but since he was a fairly well-fed dog with healing skills, it was nothing to him.
Su Xiao also looked at Alice and the wolf butler.
He didn't know if it violated the rules of this game.
[Notice: Your actions displeased the Butler wolf, and the Butler wolf's favorability decreased by 2 points.]
Alice didn't react at all, but the wolf butler appeared behind Su Xiao.
— Butler, I broke the rules of the game?
— … — The wolf butler didn't say anything and just stayed behind Su Xiao, however, Su Xiao didn't care about the wolf butler's attitude at all.
From the beginning, he felt that the wolf butler was somewhat hostile towards him, and Sha eventually explained to him that he was hostile towards him because of the devil's mark.
Of course, since he was a neutral character, it would be nice to make contact with him, but if he was against it, it didn't really matter. At worst, his attitude will be a bit cold. Alice was standing over him, so the wolf butler obviously wouldn't dare break the rules of the game.
If he goes against the rules, he's basically going against Alice.
After thinking about this, Su Xiao cut another piece from the steak and tossed it to Bubtney.
Since the dragon meat was extremely delicious, Bubtni didn't care if it was poisonous or not.
In addition, Su Xiao could hand over the healing potions to him at any time.
I ate Bubtni meat with great pleasure. Of course, Su Xiao also swallowed a small piece, after all, this was part of this game and there might be a reward associated with it.
Each game was dangerous, but overcoming the dangers could earn rewards.
Each contractor used their own method.
As for Alice, she didn't react to the wine or meat in any way.
She was just enjoying the delicious food.
