Constantine lay nonchalantly in the last row, yawning: "I'll take a nap. As long as I can get through the game, that's all that matters."
Lin Bei sat smiling in the front row of the bus, silently waiting for time to pass by.
Just half an hour later, a hurried footstep suddenly came from outside the bus.
When the car door was pulled open forcefully, Lin Bei looked down at the doorway.
Ryohei Arisu, panting heavily, glared angrily at Lin Bei while leaning against the car door.
Lin Bei slightly curled his lips: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Ryohei Arisu angrily rushed into the car, stood in front of Lin Bei, and slammed his hand heavily on the back of Lin Bei's seat: "You! You clearly knew this was the final stop, why didn't you remind us when we got off the car and left!"
Do you know that because of your selfish actions, most of us who ran away have been killed or injured! I only saw it after I got back… I saw the 'final destination' sign on the bus!
As Arisu Ryohei spoke, he became more and more agitated, even sounding like he was about to cry. Holding up this accusing face at Lin Bei, he denounced Lin Bei's cold-bloodedness: "Aren't we the only people left in the whole world? What we need to do is work together to complete the game and find a way to survive, right?"
Why, even when things have reached this point of despair, would there still be people like you? I know you're powerful, but you can't treat human lives like toys! If you had told us earlier that this was the end, they...they wouldn't be dead..."
Ryohei Arisu sobbed, then could not continue.
Lin Bei and Constantine looked at Arisu Ryohei indifferently. Constantine sneered and said, "First of all, you need to understand one thing: don't assume that we are the only ones left in this world without having obtained complete information."
Then, our beliefs don't align with yours. We believe in the survival of the fittest, and survival depends entirely on one's own abilities. Either you do what I do and acknowledge Lin Bei as your elder brother.
Before this, what did your lives or deaths have to do with us? Instead of criticizing us, why don't you shoulder your ideal and lead everyone to victory?
Constantine was right, and Ryohei Arisu's ideals were also correct.
In the original storyline, Arisu Ryohei did indeed take on the responsibility of completing the game, leading all the surviving players back to the real world.
But that doesn’t mean Constantine’s words are wrong.
In this cruel country, the weak depend on the strong, and the strong are respected; this is simply a way of survival.
Lin Bei possesses absolute strength, and Constantine is no less capable; surviving in this country would be a piece of cake.
If someone is truly powerful enough to reach Lin Bei's level, then he wouldn't care about the lives of others.
What does this have to do with him?
He's still in this country, here to enjoy the game, not to struggle to survive like everyone else.
They don't even have the same goals; they're not on the same path to begin with.
Even compared to Constantine's dissatisfaction with Arisu Ryohei, Lin Bei didn't care at all.
He sees humans as no different from ants. Why would he get emotionally upset just because an ant is jumping up and down in front of him?
Lin Bei looked at Arisu Ryohei, whose face was somewhat embarrassed, and pointed expressionlessly at the driver's seat: "There are only ten minutes left in the game. Are you sure you want to stay here and blame us, instead of driving to pick up Usagi Yuzuha?"
Ryohei Arisu was startled, then hurriedly rushed to the driver's seat.
Unlike the original storyline, this bus actually started successfully and, despite Arisu Ryohei's poor driving skills, drove deeper into the tunnel.
It was thanks to Lin Bei's warning that by the time he drove to where Yuzuha Uzagi was, there was already a torrent of water in front of him that was almost filling the tunnel.
Yuzuki Yuzuha raced against the current with all her might. She had excellent athletic ability, and by the time the bus arrived, she was the only one left running.
Everyone else was swallowed up by the raging torrent.
Fortunately, the bus arrived in time. Just as Yuzuki was about to be swallowed by the flood, she managed to grab the bus door and stagger into the bus.
Once the doors closed, the bus, like an ark adrift in an endless flood, was swept out of the tunnel.
The moment the bus left the tunnel, the four people on board received a notification on their phones that the game was completed.
Inside the overturned bus, Lin Bei stood up, stretched, snapped his fingers, and the overhead window suddenly flew off.
Lin Bei nimbly leaped outside the bus.
Constantine struggled a bit, crawling out using both his hands and feet.
Just as Lin Bei and Constantine were about to leave, Arisu Ryohei called out to them.
Lin Bei looked down at the couple cuddling inside the bus and said calmly, "Get to the point."
Ryohei Arisu took a deep breath: "Mr. Hayashi, I know you are very powerful, and I know that your power is enough for you to survive in this country, but I still want to say that our goal is unification. We are not enemies. What we are facing are the people who created the game, the people who forced us into the game."
Lin Bei raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Your idea is good. My suggestion is to find 'Seaside' as soon as possible, and we'll meet at 'Seaside'."
After saying that, Lin Bei grabbed Constantine by the back of his collar, leaped into the air, and disappeared from Arisu Ryohei and Uzaki Yuzuha's sight.
When Ryohei Arisu and Yuzuha Uzaki heard Hayashi mention "seaside", their expressions changed drastically.
For no other reason than that the two of them had also been searching for "Seaside".
During their recent games, they occasionally heard about "the beach," where it seemed to be crowded and where people were playing games in an organized and disciplined manner.
If we find the "seaside," we might find a way to leave this country.
I never expected that someone as powerful as Lin Bei would mention "Haibin"!
Moreover, judging from what he said, he would also go to the "seaside," and it seemed that he knew where the "seaside" was.
Ryohei Arisu wanted to ask Lin Bei directly, but even if Lin Bei were still here, he felt frustrated and ashamed when he recalled how he had scolded Lin Bei before, but Lin Bei seemed not to have taken his words to heart at all.
Now that he's calmed down, he feels that Lin Bei and Constantine's actions weren't wrong. It was their own choice, and he can't expect them to do the same as him and save everyone.
Ryohei Arisu secretly vowed in his heart that he was different from Lin Bei and Constantine; he was determined to complete the game and bring everyone out of this country.
Lin Bei was unaware that his and Constantine's actions only strengthened Arisu Ryohei's resolve to complete the game.
While Arisu Ryohei and Uzaki Yuzuha were desperately searching for the "Seaside", Lin Bei had already brought Constantine to the vicinity of the "Seaside".
"Seaside" is not located by the sea as its name suggests.
"Seaside" is a super luxurious five-star hotel where a human utopia was jointly established by two factions: the moderate hat maker and the radical militant Su Guo.
It must be said that the "Seaside" was well-developed by the Hatter and Su Guo.
It has its own generator, which can supply electricity to the entire hotel. Food and water are not lacking. At the "seaside", there is no need to worry about survival.
But "Seaside" also has its own rules. First of all, "Seaside" has no restrictions. You can do whatever you want, live a life of debauchery, indulge in love, and no one will care.
However, there are also limitations.
First, only swimwear is allowed at the "beach" to prevent the possession of weapons.
Second, the cards must be handed over to the first-ranked Hatter.
Third, traitors, die.
It was now late at night.
Lin Bei carried Constantine directly to the roof of the "Seaside" main building.
In the biting night wind, Lin Bei casually tossed Constantine onto the platform, stood with one foot on the edge, and looked down with curiosity.
In this country, time doesn't seem to be that important to humankind.
At this time of day, the area below was still brightly lit, and the huge swimming pool was packed with people having fun.
The boisterous cheers could be heard even from the rooftop where Lin Bei was standing, showing just how wildly the people below were playing.
Lin Bei raised an eyebrow slightly and whistled, "This is truly a scene of unbridled indulgence."
Constantine also leaned over to look down, and when he saw the men and women entwined together in the pool, he frowned and said with some disgust, "This is the 'seaside'? Why are there so many people like this? It's too loose!"
Lin Bei crossed his arms and curled his lips slightly: "You don't understand. The weak like to stick together. Once they stick together, they are easily influenced by others. If one person thinks that life is short and they should enjoy themselves while they can, then it will be like poison gas, radiating to every weak person."
However, I didn't come here to team up with them. There's a very exciting game going to happen here, so let's join 'Seaside' first.
Constantine squinted and carefully examined the people below, noticing several beautiful women with good figures who weren't entangled with men. He lit a cigarette and chuckled, "Alright, then I can enjoy myself here for the next few days."
Lin Bei simply activated the spatial passage and crossed over.
Constantine hurried to catch up.
After crossing the spatial passage, Constantine looked around in surprise: "Huh? A luxury suite? Shouldn't we be going to see the leader here?"
Lin Bei leaned closer to the beauty and said lazily, "Yes, this is the leader's room. If we wait a little longer, they should be able to find us."
Constantine shrugged, feeling that Lin Bei had a somewhat perverse sense of humor, but he wouldn't make any judgment. He walked to the window, sat down, and smoked one cigarette after another in the night breeze.
The only good thing about coming to this country is that cigarettes are everywhere.
Perhaps it was Constantine's cigarette smoke that alerted "Seaside," for soon a cacophony of footsteps echoed outside the door.
Soon the door was pulled open from the outside, and a group of people rushed in.
Leading the group was a dejected middle-aged man, surrounded by several "seaside" cadres, and further out were Su Guo and a group of militant cadres.
The颓废老叔 is the hatter who founded "Seaside".
At this moment, his face darkened as he stared at Lin Bei on the balustrade and Constantine by the window, and asked warily, "Who are you? How did you get in?"
This is also the question that Su Guo and the militant cadres wanted to ask.
It should be noted that the security of "Seaside" is entirely the responsibility of the armed faction, and under their protection, "Seaside" has never seen any unidentified intruders.
Furthermore, tensions between the militants and the moderates have reached a breaking point, with the militants often using weapons and security to intimidate the moderates.
Now, to make matters worse, two strangers have suddenly barged into "Seaside" and even entered the Hatter's room in such a high-profile manner. This is simply a slap in the face to the militant faction.
The hatter had barely asked a question when the impatient leek wood pressed on, "Hey you two, tell me honestly how you got up here. What methods did you use to evade the martial arts faction? If you don't tell me, our guns don't have eyes!"
Lin Bei glanced at Jiu Mu indifferently, ignoring the madman, and turned to look at the Hatter and Su Guo beside him.
Lin Bei smiled slightly: "We meet again."
Su Guo's face darkened: "Hmm, we meet again, Mr. Lin Bei. Last time we played hide-and-seek, your agility really opened my eyes."
"May I ask what brings you two to the 'seaside'? You're not here to cause trouble, are you?"
The hatter, standing nearby, paused for a moment before realizing that this was the person with superpowers whom Su Guo had mentioned to him before.
He looked at Lin Bei with surprise, then opened his arms and smiled as he approached: "You're the Lin Bei with the legendary superpowers? I've heard so much about you. You've come to 'Seaside' because you want to join us, right?"
Lin Bei raised an eyebrow, his gaze, which held a half-smile, sweeping over Jiu Mu and the other members of the martial arts faction: "Look, if you ask me, this is the kind of person who is suitable to be the leader of 'Seaside'. He saw through my purpose at a glance, instead of just pointing a gun at me, threatening me, and making a racket here like an insect."
Jiu Mu's face stiffened; he naturally realized that this was an insult directed at him.
Jiu Mu's face contorted in pain as he raised his hand and pointed the gun at Lin Bei: "Say that again, you fucking idiot? My gun doesn't have eyes!"
In the original storyline, Lin Bei was annoyed by this group of martial arts enthusiasts, who were all brainless and only liked to solve everything with violence.
Before Su Guo could stop Jiu Mu, Lin Bei sneered, snapped his fingers, and activated the power of the Shadow Monarch.
A stream of black liquid flew out from Lin Bei's shadow, hurtling towards Jiu Mu at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
No one saw clearly what happened. All they knew was that Lin Bei snapped his fingers, and the next second, the gun that was aimed at Lin Bei and in Jiu Mu's hand was firmly enveloped by a mysteriously appearing black liquid, which even twisted the gun tip and pointed it at Jiu Mu himself.
Jiu Mu's finger was still on the trigger; the forceful twisting nearly broke his wrist. He was both terrified and in pain: "What is this? What did you do to me! Damn it, let me go, I'm going to fucking kill you!"
Lin Bei leaned back against the chaise lounge with a smile: "If he doesn't shut up, I'll shoot."
Everyone present was stunned by Lin Bei's nonchalant remark.
Fortunately, Su Guo reacted quickly, covering Jiu Mu's mouth and bowing his head to Lin Bei: "I apologize on his behalf."
On the "seaside," the militant faction has always regarded the Su Kingdom as the supreme being.
They even felt that the hat maker's contribution to the "seaside" was not as great as that of Su Kingdom, and that Su Kingdom was the one that could lead them to successfully pass through this country.
In the eyes of the militant faction, Su Guo, as a self-defense officer, was the strongest person they had ever seen in this country.
The strongest should stand tall and never bow their heads. (End of Chapter)
