I Kill Gods in Escape Game

Chapter 265: One-day Island Tour (Two-in-One)

The scar on the palm of the hand was too obvious, otherwise Lin Yuan would not have recognized it as K's hand at first glance.

She subconsciously looked at K's sleeves, but the wide sleeves blocked her view, and Lin Yuan couldn't tell which hand K had chopped off for a moment.

The severed palm fell into her hand, but the description of the item on the panel did not appear for a long time.

Lin Yuan suddenly reacted.

——This hand is not a game prop.

"I want to kill Zhang Yunting, Mr. K, what does this broken palm mean?"

Lin Yuan asked, and K lowered his head slightly, as if thinking about something. After a while, he answered:
"See the scar on the palm of your hand?"

"When necessary, put this hand together with Zhang Yunting, and the navigator will die."

"Heart, kill your Easter egg prey, and I'll take that as redemption."

K raised his hands. Strangely, both of his palms were still there, but the scars on the palms were exactly the same as Lin Yuan's.

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment and thought:

"Could it be that K also has the ability to regenerate, and is his healing power stronger than mine?"

"…But since you have the ability to regenerate, why don't you heal the scars all over your body?"

Putting aside the doubts in his heart, Lin Yuan said to the business:

"How can this hand... kill the navigator?"

K seemed to smile, and his shoulders trembled slightly:

"When the navigator dies, you will see the answer."

In Lin Yuan's opinion, K's state was a bit strange. At this time, K suddenly talked about another topic:

"When you came here, you closed your eyes to find the way, right?"

Lin Yuan said "hmm", and K murmured:
"The place I found with my eyes closed is the Golden Hall..."

"It seems that your obsession with the Golden Hall is really deep."

The swivel chair turned slightly, the gems on the glass table shone brightly, and the cards moved automatically without any wind.

After a long time, K finally said:

"By the time you kill the Easter egg prey, the killing contest will be almost over."

"Now that I think about it, I'm actually a little reluctant to leave the Life-Slaying Alliance."

K's series of exclamations left Lin Yuan stunned for a moment.

What you said...K, are you leaving?
Lin Yuan asked subconsciously:
"where are you going?"

"I want to go back to my world."

K made no secret of his purpose. After saying this, he stood up and sorted out the things on the crystal glass table.

Lin Yuan was a little confused and felt that K's words were too jumpy:
"What is your world?"

K packed his things a little slowly, and patiently explained:

"The world I originally came from is just like the place you players all come from."

Lin Yuan's heart was filled with turmoil, and he blurted out:

"Can we go back?!"

K sneered, his hoarse voice carrying a hint of sarcasm:
"You can't, the players can't."

"People who have died cannot return to the human world, and the place I am going to is not the human world."

Lin Yuan suppressed the urge to ask further questions and suddenly remembered something.

Y is dead, K is gone, who will manage the Death Alliance?
"If you leave, what will happen to the Death Alliance?"

K turned around, his face hidden under the cloak seemed full of smiles, he said meaningfully:
"Of course the Death Alliance will be handed over to its new owner."

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, remembering that the first place winner of the Killing Competition, in addition to the title of Kill King, also received another prize.

——The Death Alliance will be handed over to Kill King.

Lin Yuan wondered, would she become the new master of the alliance?

If she becomes an agent of the alliance, how will she manage this group of lunatics?

At that time, Lin Yuan was anxious to find a way to control the Death Mark and was determined to obtain this title.

But now that Lin Yuan is protected by angels, the importance of the fatal mark does not seem so important.

K confessed his future path. Lin Yuan had a lot to say but didn't know how to start.

On the first day Lin Yuan arrived in the Sailing World, the Cloak Merchant provided her with a trading channel, which served as a bridge connecting Lin Yuan and the Life-Slaying Alliance.

After going through so much in the Killing Alliance, having experienced both the good and the bad, yet another familiar person was about to leave, Lin Yuan suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Somehow, she seemed to feel that with the arrival of Kill King, something was coming to an end.

K tidied the tabletop, waved his sleeves covered with star patterns, and the glass table disappeared.

He walked straight out of the Golden Hall, not caring about what Lin Yuan who stayed inside would do.

Suddenly, he heard a voice, it was Lin Yuan's call.

"I wish you... a safe journey."

K pulled the cloak that fell on his lips, and the cloak just covered the smiling face of a madman. He replied:

"Blessings."

After leaving the Golden Hall, Lin Yuan carefully returned to the Deep Sea Guild with one hand tucked into his pocket.

The adventurers around were still focusing on the upcoming annual competition, and no one noticed that with the start of the annual competition, another competition in the game world was about to come to an end.

She entered the apartment and turned the strange hand over and over.

"Nothing special, except that the various scars are quite creepy."

As Lin Yuan flipped through the book, he wondered how this thing could kill people.

"Palm scars..."

Lin Yuan stared at the healed, rippling scar on his palm and took out a shadow knife to mark it a few times.

"It wasn't cut by a knife, nor was it scalded by water."

Lin Yuan had an inexplicable intuition in her heart that this kind of wound always gave her a familiar feeling. Although she had never seen it before, Lin Yuan knew what kind of behavior would cause this kind of injury.

——It was bitten by an insect.

It is normal for scars to grow and for wounds to lose pieces of flesh.

Lin Yuan stored the severed palm into the game space.

Time passed quickly, six days went by in a flash, and it was already the day that Lin Yuan and Zhang Yunting had agreed to meet.

On this extraordinary day, Lin Yuan received a notice from Coach Shenhai early in the morning.

"Lin Yuan, you don't have to attend the opening ceremony of the annual competition tomorrow."

Lin Yuan blinked his heavy eyelids:

"why?"

"Uh... because--" The coach's voice stopped abruptly, and was replaced by a young voice.

"You should go to Lieyang City. Watching the opening ceremony here is more magnificent and spectacular."

Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Yuan instantly woke up. She had not forgotten that the person on the other end of the voice call was the one she wanted to kill, and the one who had murderous intentions towards her.

Lin Yuan concealed his inner uneasiness very well and replied:

"I'll be there soon."

Angel said that this was the last time the two of them met peacefully, and Lin Yuan came purely with the mentality of seeing someone for the last time.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yunting was well prepared for the "visit to relatives". Various gifts, props, and thick red envelopes of gold coins were given to Lin Yuan.

This made Lin Yuan look down at his empty hands.

"Let's go."

Zhang Yunting didn't care that Lin Yuan came empty-handed. In his opinion, Lin Yuan didn't need to pay anything.

Lin Yuan did not refuse and collected all the things Zhang Yunting took out.

Zhang Yunting laughed:
"You are so rude."

This time, Lin Yuan did not scold anyone, but just said "thank you" honestly.

She thought that to go to Lieyang City she had to take the unique teleportation channel of the maritime world, but she didn't expect that she and Zhang Yunting would go all the way to the top floor of the Dark Night Deep Sea.

Lin Yuan looked at the helicopter standing quietly and fell into silence.

After a few minutes, the rumbling sound of a helicopter was heard.

Lin Yuan looked at the scenery outside the window, his hair was messed up by the air flow.

"Is there no transmission channel to Lieyang City?"

Zhang Yunting sat in the driver's seat and answered:
"Yes, but I don't want to leave."

"I can fly over there and enjoy the sea view. Why should I take the teleportation channel, close my eyes and arrive at my destination like a fool?"

Zhang Yunting felt no guilt at all for inadvertently scolding all of Storm Thunder's teammates.

In fact, he was the only one who had the financial resources to fly a helicopter between the two islands.

Lin Yuan quietly approached the window and lowered her eyes. She was also very curious about what the scenery would be like when looking down at the ocean from a high altitude.
The sunlight penetrates the thin clouds and shines on the sparkling sea, shining with golden light, like countless diamonds gently jumping, like silver ribbons interweaving and dancing, dazzling and vivid.

Suddenly, a vast expanse of land appeared in his field of vision, and Lin Yuan quickly looked up.

What comes into view is a prosperous technology city with tall buildings and suspended trains running through it.

A prompt appears on the panel.

[Current coordinates: Lieyang City]

"Is this Lieyang City?"

Lin Yuan asked.

Zhang Yunting replied after a while:
"not yet."

Feeling Lin Yuan's doubtful gaze, Zhang Yunting said:

"The island where Lieyang City is located is very large. This area is just the periphery. It is still very far away from the central area where Storm Thunder is located."

Lin Yuan said "Oh" and continued to look at the scenery.

After a few minutes, she asked again:

"What do the people below do? They are not players, right? Rumor has it that the number of players in Lieyang City does not exceed two digits."

Zhang Yunting heard Lin Yuan's voice, sighed helplessly, and answered every detail:
“Those are the natives of this world, the natives who live the best lives.”

Speaking of Aboriginal people, Lin Yuan couldn't help but think of a friend and continued the topic:

"There are indigenous people in Lieyang City and Zhongxing City. I don't think I've seen any in Youyue City. But that's not the point. The point is... there are indigenous people in the first two places. The difference in their living standards seems to be quite large."

Zhang Yunting said distractedly:
"It's more than a little big. The people of Lieyang City have never regarded anyone in Zhongxing City as a human being, whether they are the natives or the players."

An inexplicable feeling of anger surged in Lin Yuan's heart, and he clenched his fists unconsciously.

Zhang Yunting continued:

"I have been in the sailing world for a long time, and my status is considered to be the top player, so I am quite familiar with their history."

"If you're interested in listening, just call me brother and I'll tell you."

Zhang Yunting deliberately asked Lin Yuan to shut up. He was not used to someone nagging around him.

No one can.

However, the next second, this chattering person became himself.

Lin Yuan has done everything, and it is not difficult for him to "recognize a thief as his brother". He can make a lot of money by just talking and understanding the worldview of the sailing world.

Immediately, a clear and crisp "Brother" was called out.

Zhang Yunting's hands as he was piloting the plane trembled, as if he had heard something horrible.

Now, he had to speak up and slowly explain what he knew about the history of the sailing world, which was like a foot binding, to a player who knew nothing about it.

"The term 'indigenous people' is not quite accurate. We should call them 'inhabitants of the original world'." Zhang Yunting corrected carefully, "They had their own world, but that world was destroyed for some reason, so some of them created the world of navigation."

“In our eyes, it’s also a survival game.”

"The world needs energy to run, and it needs a group of workers." Zhang Yunting raised his chin, "Unfortunately, we are that group of poor workers."

"The cleared copies will become the energy for the continuation of the world. In theory, the more players there are, the more solid the sailing world will be. However..."

He turned a corner:
"The residents of the original world feel that there are too many people, squeezing out their living space. There are also workers who dare to date the children of landlords. They think that players need to control them."

"So there was the Inquisition. The Inquisition of Star City nominally judged their internal affairs, but in reality, it always intervened in matters related to the players and cooperated with many guilds."

"Youyue City is much more outspoken. They directly use the Inquisition to manage the players."

"As for Lieyang City..."

Zhang Yunting pondered for a moment and gave a vivid description:

"Lieyang City is originally their base camp. In their eyes, allowing a player like me to enter Lieyang City is already the greatest gift they can give to outsiders in the original world."

He paused for two seconds, waiting for Lin Yuan to digest what he had said, before continuing:
"The gathering place of the indigenous people in the City of Stars is actually regarded as a slum by them. Only the original residents who are of no value will be expelled there."

"But value is a very subjective thing. You think you can do a lot, but in the eyes of others, you are worthless. You think you can do nothing, but as long as someone sees your ability, then you are a valuable person in the eyes of those people."

Lin Yuan showed a thoughtful expression and nodded from time to time. Suddenly, a solemn look appeared on her face and she asked:

"Since all players are workers for the original inhabitants, why is there a distinction between sailing line players and killing line players?"

"No matter how fiercely the players fight, the landlord will always be the winner, right?"

Zhang Yunting fell into deep thought because of these words. After a while, he said:
“The original designers of the sailing world did not design a plot where players fight each other.”

"what?"

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhang Yunting with a suspicious look, and blurted out the question:

"Then let's..."

——Do we really need to be involved in a life-and-death struggle because of the different identities of the players?
Zhang Yunting suddenly made a hushing gesture, signaling Lin Yuan to shut up.

“The initial instructions of the game are to protect the original residents so that they can live well even if they lose their homes.”

"Later, I don't know who modified many of the rules and instructions, adding more shady things to the game, but the original core instructions of the game will not change."

Lin Yuan seriously suspected that the "thing that cannot be seen in the light" referred to the Killing Alliance, and the person who changed the rules was the one who created the Killing Alliance.

Not knowing what he remembered, Lin Yuan suddenly said without thinking:
"Whatever the game was created for, I don't want it."

“Some people can sit high and reap the benefits.”
