All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

He personally killed this innocent, pitiful little girl who had just regained her senses and was manipulated throughout the entire ordeal!

Su Qing shuddered violently, and the arm holding the little girl instantly stiffened!

His eyes were filled with disbelief, shock, and devastation!

"W-What did you say?!"

The clown chuckled softly, his laughter sinister and mocking.

"otherwise."

"She will be fully recovered in three minutes."

"Restore all her suppressed malevolent powers, all her bloodlust, and all her demonic essence."

"At that time—"

"The three of you will be the ones who die."

boom!

These words were like a fatal blow!

It slammed hard into the hearts of the three!

It shattered everyone's last shred of hope in an instant!

Ning Ye's pupils contracted sharply!

He stared intently at the clown, at that mocking smile, a storm raging within him!

He could tell!

The Joker wasn't lying!

At that moment, he perceived it with absolute clarity—

The other party is telling the truth!

This is not inducement!

This is not a trap or a sales tactic!

It's not a lie to manipulate people's hearts!

This is the only, real, and unsolvable way to survive in this second game!

Kill the innocent, and you'll live!

If you have good intentions, you'll die immediately!

An extreme human dilemma!

Naked and bloody!

There was no compromise, no way out, and no third option left for the three of them!

"What should we do, Ning Ye?!"

Su Qing panicked completely, her voice trembling and choked with sobs, she lost all composure.

She looked at Ning Ye, her eyes filled with helplessness and struggle.

On one side are the lives of innocent children, and on the other is the only remaining kindness and tenderness in this desperate situation.

On one side are three precious lives: her own, Ning Ye's, and Nancy's!

"Should we...should we believe it?!"

"Should we... kill this child?!"

She had never felt so tormented, broken, and helpless as she was now.

She wasn't this scared after watching the eight-person team die one after another last night.

She never flinched when faced with the pursuit of evil spirits or the deadly predicament.

But at this moment, she completely broke down.

Because the enemy is no longer a demon.

The enemy is people's hearts!

It's about good and evil!

It is the most difficult and cruel choice that humanity can make!

"Trust it?"

Ning Ye chuckled softly, his voice icy and chilling, carrying an extreme clarity and resolve.

"You mean, we should believe in a ghost story?"

"To believe in a clown-like demon who takes pleasure in manipulating lives and exploiting people's hearts?"

One sentence instantly snapped Su Qing out of her near-collapse!

Yes!

It's eerie!

They are ruthless killers who regard human life as worthless as ants!

How can you believe what it says?!

The next second!

A colder, more cruel reality crashed back into the minds of the three!

It wasn't lying!

Ning Ye was absolutely certain!

His sense of rules, his intuition in dire situations, and his experience of surviving countless times in the bizarre city were all giving him frantic warnings!

The clown's words at this moment are 100% true!

Three minutes!

Just three minutes!

Three minutes later, the evil essence within the little girl, which had been temporarily suppressed by the Orange Game, will be fully restored!

That invisible balloon rope on the back is the final control hub!

At that time, she will transform back into the top-tier evil child who slaughtered eight people, was cold-blooded and ruthless, and manipulated people's hearts!

At that time, no one will be able to stop us!

No one can survive!

All three of them are doomed!

He died a gruesome death!

"But……"

Su Qing's teeth chattered, her voice broke and choked with sobs, her eyes fixed on the unconscious little girl in her arms.

Tears welled up uncontrollably in my eyes.

"But she's innocent..."

"She was a victim too... She didn't mean to kill anyone... She did nothing wrong..."

"We killed her with our own hands... What difference is there between us and demons?!"

This sentence strikes right to the soul!

Yes!

Once you take action.

They survived.

But their humanity, goodwill, bottom line, and human nature are completely dead.

In desperate situations, to survive, they personally slaughter the innocent and weak.

This is the deepest abyss of human nature that all survivors fear most and dare not touch!

"I know!"

Ning Ye gritted his teeth and growled, veins bulging on his forehead.

This is the most unsolvable, cruel, and torturous dead end he has encountered since he entered the game!

It's a million times more terrifying than a head-on battle or a hunt with no clear rules!

In a head-on clash, victory or defeat depends on strength.

The rules are ineffective; winning or losing depends on your brainpower.

But in this round...

Winning or losing depends on human nature!

Choose the good, and all will die.

Choosing to live is utterly inhumane!

"I know she's innocent!"

Ning Ye's voice was low and hoarse, suppressing an extreme struggle.

"I know she's a victim! I know that if we lay a hand on her, we're committing an evil act!"

"Ke Suqing! Tell me!"

"Three minutes later, she regained her sinister nature! She went berserk again and began her slaughter! The three of us are dead!"

"Who will pity us?!"

"Who will pity Nancy?!"

Every word is piercing to the heart!

Every word was piercing!

Su Qing was speechless for a moment!

Tears streamed down her cheeks instantly, and her whole body trembled weakly.

She was speechless!

The harsh reality was suffocating her!

Nancy's body was trembling violently as she listened to their conversation, seemingly understanding but not quite.

She couldn't understand the complex power struggles of human nature.

But she understood: either the little girl dies, or they all die.

His face was filled with confusion, fear, and helplessness.

"Brother Ning Ye..."

Nancy sobbed softly.

"Do we...do we really have to kill someone...?"

"She...is so pitiful..."

The clown stood opposite, silently watching the three struggle, hesitate, suffer, and tear themselves apart.

His empty black eyes were filled with a mocking, spectacled look.

Hahaha……

A low, eerie laugh rang out again, drifting and echoing through the hallway.

"Struggle."

"Hesitate."

"It must be painful."

"This is the most fun game ever!"

"What I like to watch most has never been humans killing demons."

"It's about watching humanity tear apart its own kindness with its own hands."

The clown's tone was languid yet cruel, every word deliberately provoking people.

"You thought winning the first level, the Orange Game, was the way to survival?"

"Haha, how naive."

"Orange Games is only temporarily sealing off the supernatural power to buy time."

"The real test of passing the test is never brainpower."

"It's human nature."

"To kill the good and live, or to uphold the good and die."

"Choose one."

"I'll only give you three minutes."

"Three minutes, countdown begins."

boom!

An invisible countdown rule instantly enveloped the entire venue!

In everyone's mind, the cold, mechanical countdown timer rang out simultaneously!

Two minutes and fifty-nine seconds!

Two minutes and fifty-eight seconds!

Time began to flow by frantically!

Every second is a countdown to life!

Every second is a slow, agonizing torture of humanity!

"What should we do... Ning Ye... is there really no other way?!"

Su Qing was on the verge of collapse, her voice choked with despair.

"Can...can we seal her away again?!"

"Can't we cut that rope?!"

"Let's play the game one more time! Let's break the rules again! Okay?!"

Ning Ye gritted his teeth, his eyes swirling with a mixture of intense struggle and composure.

He quickly glanced at the thin line that was barely visible on the little girl's back.

We tried to deduce a way out, tried to find loopholes, and tried to find a third way out!

But the next second, he was utterly desperate!

No!

It's impossible!

That rope is a product of the Joker's ultimate rules!

This is no ordinary eerie aura!

It cannot be severed!

Unbreakable!

It cannot be sealed a second time!

The completion effects of Origin Games have been completely exhausted!

Now, there are no tricks, no games, no loopholes!

The only rule, the only outcome, the only choice!

Kill, or die!

There's no other way.

Ning Ye's voice was hoarse and tired, carrying an unprecedented heaviness.

"Really... there's no other way."

"The Joker is the ultimate rule-maker; he's talking about the final judgment."

"She will definitely retaliate in three minutes."

"We are doomed."

Su Qing's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Tears streamed down her face, soaking the floral dress of the little girl in her arms.

"But...but she's so innocent..."

"How could we... how could we kill a child with our own hands..."

"We are human beings, Ning Ye...we are not evil spirits..."

These words completely shattered everyone's psychological defenses.

Yes.

They are human beings.

Have good intentions, have principles, and have a conscience.

But now, the only way to survive is to personally extinguish one's conscience.

The clown silently watched the three suffer, his scarlet lips stretching wider and wider, his laughter growing increasingly maniacal.

"Humans... are truly fascinating creatures."

"Mingming is terrified of dying."

"He just wanted to live."

"Yet they stubbornly cling to useless, self-pitying kindness."

"Your kindness is the cheapest, the deadliest, and the most ridiculous thing in this ghostly city."

Two minutes.

The cold countdown continues its relentless ticking.

Two cents!

Time is running out!

Death is drawing ever closer!

Ning Ye closed his eyes, forcibly suppressing all the tenderness, reluctance, and struggle in his heart.

The moment he opened his eyes, all that remained in them was extreme calmness and cruelty.

He looked at Su Qing and said in a deep voice, word by word:

"Su Qing, tell me."

"Do you want to live?"

"Do you want Nancy to live?"

Su Qing froze, bursting into tears, but nodded emphatically.

I want to live.

I desperately want to live.

They survived a night of slaughter, survived desperate situations, and survived countless fears.

No one wants to die a second before dawn.

No one wants to die with the regret of innocent people, and to lose three lives.

"Then there's only one way left."

Ning Ye's voice was as cold as ice, carrying a cruelty that seemed to tear apart humanity.

"We had no choice."

Su Qing suddenly looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, and gazed at Ning Ye:

"So...so we really have to...kill her?"

Ning Ye fell silent.

He neither nodded immediately nor denied it immediately.

Because his heart was also being torn apart.

But in his mind, countless images of his companions dying tragically, countless deaths in the ghost city, and countless desperate situations came crashing down on him.

Those who are soft-hearted die the fastest.

Kind people are the first to be buried with the dead.

In this strange city where there are no rules, no good or evil, and no justice.

Being soft-hearted is a capital offense!

"I'll do it."

After a long silence, Ning Ye slowly spoke, his voice low and hoarse, filled with endless weariness.

"I will bear all the sins."

"You don't need to get involved."

Su Qing looked up instantly, staring at him in disbelief:

"Ning Ye!"

"There's no need to argue."

Ning Ye interrupted her, his eyes resolute.

"You protected Nancy, holding onto the last shred of your true self."

"I'll be the bad guy."

"I will personally crush the kindness in all of us."

Watching this scene, the clown laughed even more maniacally, his joyful applause echoing silently in the darkness.

"Wonderful."

"That was amazing!"

"Human choices are always so fascinating."

"continue."

"Let me see just how desperate you can be."
