"My lord?" Hearing this address, Helena's doubts only deepened.
Li Wei then walked up to Terry and Joe.
“Mr. Li.” Terry took off his baseball cap and looked at Li Wei with some surprise.
"Terry, it's been a few days. I didn't expect to see you here. Is this Muay Thai fighter your friend? He's pretty good," Li Wei said with a smile.
··· ·Requesting flowers····
Joe wanted to speak, but Terry stopped him. Terry gave him a look that told him not to make any rash moves. Joe nodded slightly, said nothing, and just took half a step back.
Terry said, "Mr. Li, is there something you need here?"
"I'm here to rescue people. Could you please give me the honor of letting these girls handle things?" Li Wei said.
Terry looked troubled, glanced at his prey he had already caught, and said, "Mr. Li, you have to know, they are from the opposing camp."
Li Wei said, "Of course I know about this, but I still want to protect them. Protecting them won't affect the progress of reducing their numbers."
......... . ...
On Li Wei's side, although he spared the fighters from the Dead or Alive faction, he showed no mercy when facing male fighters from the Dead or Alive faction. He didn't hesitate to strike when necessary, and the number of male fighters from the Dead or Alive faction eliminated by his paper cranes has now exceeded ten, and this number is still rising.
Terry looked surprised and said, "Mr. Li, do you want to protect them by bringing them into your camp? You have already established your own camp, but will doing so affect the rules of the space? After all, the space will only release the final boss after the initial number of participants in the trial is reduced to half."
Li Wei laughed and said, "Are you worried that the number of people won't drop to half, which will eventually lead to infighting among your own side?"
Terry nodded. Most of the people on his side were acquaintances, so how could he bring himself to do it?
Terry said, "That's right. After all, Mr. Li, you've brought too many people to this side. If the number can't be reduced to half, wouldn't that be a big problem?"
Li Wei laughed and said, "Then I'll keep it a secret for now. The number of participants in this trial will soon be reduced to half, I promise."
Terry nodded, looked at the four girls who were already in a sorry state, and said, "I'll leave that person to you, Mr. Li. I hope you won't go back on your word."
"Of course," Li Wei said with a smile.
Chapter 4. Helena
Watching Li Wei lead the people away with the blanket, Dong Zhang watched the blanket disappear from sight and said, "Terry, this isn't like you. It's such a waste to let this cooked duck go to waste."
Seeing Joe standing with his hands on his hips and a resentful look on his face, Terry put his hat back on, straightened himself, and said, "There are some people we can't afford to mess with. It's better to avoid trouble. That guy just now was the strongest in our camp. Do you know how strong he is?"
Dong Zhang shook his head and said, "How would I know? He's not some world-famous superstar."
Terry sighed and said, "Anyway, you just need to know a little bit. He can single-handedly wipe out the entire opposing camp. With him around, our camp can't lose. This trial is actually very advantageous for us because he's on our side."
Higashijo looked puzzled.
Seeing Joe's puzzled look, Terry said, "Just think of him as a god on our side. As long as he's there, victory will be ours sooner or later. All we need to do is protect our own lives and not cause him any trouble."
Terry knew Levi's true strength, which is why he abandoned his usual relaxed demeanor and tried to remain serious when he met Levi. Furthermore, he didn't object when Levi offered to take his prey away.
Joe looked surprised. He knew Terry was a proud and arrogant man; to make him bow down, one would definitely need real ability. His resentment towards Levi dissipated just like that.
Meanwhile, on the blanket, Helena looked at Levi and said, "Thank you for your rescue. My name is Helena, and I don't know your name yet."
Li Wei said, "My name is Li Wei. Now, I'm your superior. Just confirm the faction indicated by the space prompt."
Helena "saw" the prompt in her mind, clicked "OK," and then she saw her own faction. She had been transferred to a sub-faction under the original opposing faction, and now she was considered "one of her own" to her former enemy.
Helena introduced the other three girls beside her to Levi. Mary Rose was her bodyguard, and Nico was a researcher from the DOATEC organization and also her subordinate. As the head of the giant corporate organization DOATEC, Helena had a large number of talented people under her command, and Nico, this genius girl, was one of her members.
Ayane, who was standing nearby, said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Ayane, a ninja."
Ayane's self-introduction was quite brief and concise, just like her personality.
Li Wei said, "Now that you've joined my camp, you're temporarily safe. I was on my way to pick someone up when I noticed you were in danger, so I helped you out. I just don't understand, weren't there a lot of female fighters in your previous camp? Fighting and killing isn't a good thing for girls."
Helena said, "Some things are beyond our control, like how we were dragged into this space. Mr. Levi, why did you save us?"
Li Wei said, "Because I can do whatever I want. I wanted to save you, so I did it. If you really want to thank someone, you can thank a girl named Tina."
Upon hearing the name Tina, Helena spoke somewhat hastily, "Is Tina also with you, sir?"
Helena's expression was somewhat excited. Tina was practically her good friend, but due to the random teleportation, she and Tina hadn't been together. Now that she had heard about Tina's whereabouts, she couldn't contain her excitement.
In this cruel space, every parting could very well be a matter of life and death, so Helena didn't want to see anyone around her leave. Although she was the head of DOATEC, she was also a sentimental young woman. Becoming the head of this massive corporate group was also due to the push of fate. If she could, she wouldn't want to be the head of DOATEC. Because of this, many of her friends and family members were drawn into the cruel power struggle and ultimately did not have a good ending.
Now, in an even more brutal environment, she has to maintain her calm and capable persona to avoid causing panic among those around her. In reality, she is also afraid, but as the pillar of support for those around her, she dares not reveal the slightest confusion or fear.
However, upon hearing this good news, her facade crumbled instantly...
Li Wei nodded and said, "When I met Tina, she and Mr. Bass were being chased. Now, she is indeed with me, but she is not in the Red Demon Space. Instead, I sent her to an absolutely safe space. After we gather the first batch of people here, I plan to send you there as well."
“It’s good that she’s alright. What about Mr. Bass?” Helena asked.
Li Wei shook his head, and Helena didn't press further. That shake of the head alone was enough to tell a lot; Bass was very likely already dead.
Li Wei said, "He was killed by a fighter from my own faction. His death was quite gruesome. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great."
Ryu Yamazaki, a professional assassin, is incredibly skilled at killing. Even if Bass, a wrestler, were to raise his physical abilities to the average level of the King of Fighters team, he still wouldn't be a match for a professional like Ryu Yamazaki.
Helena sighed and said, "In this space, life is possible in any situation, no matter how dire. We can all die at any moment, which is regrettable."
Li Wei said, "So I plan to take you away from this world. Although I can't send you back to your original place, it shouldn't be a problem to let you avoid being wiped out and live in a safe space."
Li Wei snapped his fingers lightly, and the injuries of Helena and the others began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a short while, they had returned to their peak condition. Even the torn parts of their clothes were restored to their original state, and the dust they had picked up while rolling on the ground disappeared.
"This is truly amazing," Helena exclaimed.
Before being pulled into this space, Helena, as the head of a giant conglomerate, was well-informed and knowledgeable about various high technologies. However, the ability to quickly heal their injuries and repair their torn clothing without any physical contact was beyond the limits of modern technology and reached a new level.
Helena looked at Levi, and his nonchalant demeanor made her feel that he was even more unfathomable.
Chapter 4. The Secrets of Space
Helena said, "Everything in this space is beyond scientific explanation; everything here is abnormal."
Li Wei said, "You noticed it too?"
Helena shook her head and pointed to the blue-haired girl beside her, saying, "It wasn't me, it was Nico who discovered it. She said that this world feels like a virtual space, but it's also different from a virtual space. What's certain is that we all entered this space in our physical bodies."
The blue-clad girl, Nico, nodded.
Li Wei said, "Your guess is correct. This space connects several worlds. Your world was unintentionally linked to this space, and then you, as top experts in your respective worlds, were captured and brought here to participate in this grand gladiator competition."
Nico said, "This space is connected to our world. Mr. Levi, you know so much, do you know how we can return to our world?"
Nico's words made everyone perk up their ears. This was a question that they all cared about. After all, who would want to go to another world if they could return to their original world?
Li Wei laughed and said, "When your faction wins, you will be able to return to your original world. But will your previous faction be able to win?"
Nico shook her head. After several days, she had come to terms with reality. The faction she had previously belonged to was nothing more than a stepping stone for the other two factions to rack up points. Although it was a harsh truth, that was the reality.
The idea of a three-way power struggle simply doesn't exist. The current situation is a battle between two dominant forces, and their previous allies were merely cannon fodder.
Li Wei said, "When you were dragged into this space, the connection between this space and your world was severed. The only way to reconnect is for your original faction to win. However, your original faction has no hope of winning."
Nico nodded. What Li Wei said was true, and because of the failure of the entire faction, they would also be eliminated because of the failure of the faction.
Li Wei continued, "My faction will ultimately win, so the world that space will eventually reconnect to is my world, but for you, it will be another world. And because you are members of a sub-faction who defected halfway, even if you are able to avoid being wiped out after the trial ends, you will be trapped in this space forever, waiting for the next round of trials to begin."
The scene Li Wei described sent chills down their spines. Staying in this empty world for too long could drive a person crazy. People need interaction, even so-called solitude enthusiasts.
“I don’t want to stay in a world like this!” Mary Rose said, crossing her arms and speaking loudly.
Li Wei spread his hands and said, "Nobody likes to stay in a world like this, and I'm no exception. If it weren't for my responsibility to my acquaintances in the same camp and to rescue you, I could leave this world right now."
The girls fell silent; the information Li Wei had revealed was quite substantial.
Xin said from the side, "The Master is a powerful being who can interfere with space to a certain extent, which is why he was able to find loopholes. If we hadn't met the Master, none of us would have had a good ending."
Xin's feelings for Li Wei were also complicated, but now she knew that they could not survive without Li Wei. It was because she realized this that she firmly stood on Li Wei's side and spoke up, because she wanted to live.
Faced with the temptation to survive, her heart had no choice but to bow down, and Li Wei's charm also made her less resistant to such things.
If Li Wei were a burly man like Zhang, or a spherical figure like Xu Chu from Dynasty Warriors, she wouldn't have had those fancy thoughts. But Li Wei was just too handsome, and she was attracted to him the moment she saw him.
People are very pragmatic, and women are especially so in many situations. Take the case of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress. If the hero is unattractive or not in good shape, the response is often, "I can never repay the hero's kindness; I'm willing to be his slave in my next life to repay his kindness." However, if the hero is handsome and dashing, the response is entirely different: "I can never repay the hero's kindness; I can only offer myself in gratitude."
This world is just that realistic. It's not just men; women are also attracted to looks. Why do so many women go to host clubs? It's because of their good looks and the experience.
In addition, Li Wei's sensitivity and gentleness towards the women around him, and the fact that he saved her in such a dangerous environment, created a huge emotional impact that made Xin a fan of Li Wei in a very short time.
Helena noticed the change in Xin and was somewhat surprised. Xin seemed very different from before. This was the first time she had seen Xin show such direct admiration for a man.
However, Li Wei in front of her was indeed a man who could make her heart flutter. Even though she was in a high position and had dealt with many so-called high-quality men, she had to admit that Li Wei was the most charming man she had ever met, without exception.
Li Wei shook his head and said, "Actually, there's very little I can do. For example, completely eliminating this war is something I can't do. The fighting between different factions reduces the number of people to half of what it was at the beginning. Then, the remaining people fight for the boss. Whoever defeats the boss can bring everyone from their faction back to their original world, while the losers are directly eliminated. This is the underlying logic of this space, like the way a game is played. This is the most basic framework, and even I can't change this fact. I can only try to find some loopholes."
Helena said, "It's just like an online game."
Li Wei said, "Yes, it's like an online game. But in an online game, a character can be resurrected after death. However, if you die in this space, you are truly dead. Even if you make a wish, you can't bring those who have already died back to life."
Helena frowned and said, "Isn't the saying that a wish can grant any wish? How come it can't even resurrect the dead?"
Li Wei said, "This is because resurrecting the dead has conflicted with the underlying logic of this space. I used my own abilities to investigate this space and discovered some secrets. This space turns the dead trial participants into its own nourishment, constantly strengthening itself. The reason this space is able to have such a scale and so many hidden mechanisms is because countless trials have been held before, and this world has been built up by sheer human lives."
Li Wei's words shocked everyone.
Chapter 44. Akuma
Nico said, "Mr. Li Wei, your understanding of space far surpasses that of others."
Li Wei said, "Because I am strong enough, I was able to find this information from the space. If it were someone else, daring to do such a thing, they would probably have been directly wiped out by the space."
Nico said worriedly, "If we know this sensitive information, will we be eliminated? After all, there's a way to die called 'knowing too much'."
