The sky curtain makes you a useless class monitor, yet you act arbitrarily for eternity?

Aikun spread his hands and smiled happily.

The scene of the tavern in the background suddenly went dark.

Instead, there was a completely sealed stone door to the secret realm.

The inside of the stone gate was covered in bloodstains.

Several broken weapons lay scattered on the ground, one of which, a longsword, was pressing down on an unused recovery potion.

"As a result, naturally, everyone except you two ancestors was successfully wiped out."

They watched helplessly as the situation unfolded.

"Finally, the antidote was obtained~ and then..."

Aikun leaned forward.

"Hey, guess what? The person is gone."

No one responded.

Not a single comment appeared in the live stream.

Aikun didn't care.

He leaned back in his chair and continued speaking.

"Most importantly..."

"Afterwards, I also arranged for an innocent and simple little girl to wait for them at the door of their residence."

"What are you doing?"

"Put a wreath of fresh flowers on their heads and give them a gift."

In the projection, the safe zone has already begun celebrating the Lunar New Year.

Lanterns hung along the streets, food was displayed in front of shops, and the sounds of players celebrating could be heard in the distance.

Ye Chen and Jiang Liyu stood in front of their residence.

The blood on the two people had not yet been washed off.

A little girl stood on tiptoe and placed a flower wreath on Jiang Liyu's head.

Then, she took out a photo from her pocket.

This was the first group photo taken in the tavern.

"Cough cough..."

The little girl in the projection took out a draft from her pocket and began to read the words on it haltingly.

"Chen, Li, did you receive your gifts?"

"This is our way of expressing our gratitude!"

"We know you're very wealthy; you certainly won't accept our reward!"

"So, we arranged this small flower gift."

"You definitely can't refuse, right?"

"That little girl is the cutest in our safe zone, and we even gave her money!"

"You don't want to waste our money, do you?"

"So, just accept it!"

"We are so grateful that you came to help us!"

"if……"

"We made it out successfully!"

Please read on!

The little girl paused for a moment.

She looked down at the draft and, following the instructions, turned the paper over to the other side.

New Year's cheers came from the other end of the street.

"Ha ha……"

"It seems we didn't make it out alive. Sorry we couldn't give you a surprise and a cheer."

"If that's the case, it means we're no longer here."

"We are so happy to have met you all."

"Please don't blame yourselves for our deaths."

"You must survive and witness the end of this game."

"Happy New Year!"

After the girl finished reading the last four words, she carefully folded the draft and handed it over.

She didn't know that the person who wrote those words would never come back.

All she remembered was that those people had told her before they left that they should deliver the gifts to Chen and Li.

Ye Chen did not reach out.

Jiang Liyu took the draft and held it for him.

Ai Kun's voice came through again.

"Finally, I also had that little girl give you two ancestors a storage item."

"It contains the New Year's songs that the team sang together."

In the scene, Jiang Liyu touches the storage item.

The next second, noisy and festive singing came from it.

Someone sang the wrong lyrics.

Someone burst out laughing.

Some people even slammed their fists on the table, demanding that others sing it again.

The streets are celebrating the Chinese New Year.

The people inside the storage items are also celebrating the New Year in advance, a New Year they may not live to see.

Ye Chen looked down at the group photo, his fingers gradually tightening.

He pinched the edges of the photo to create wrinkles.

Aikun squinted, admiring the images projected on the screen.

"Joyful and festive songs rang out."

"They wore flower wreaths, held group photos, and their hearts were filled with sorrow."

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

In the live stream, some people were already clenching their fists.

But this scheming is far from over.

"There's more after that."

The folding fan was struck again.

In the scene, a player walks through the celebrating crowd and comes to Ye Chen and Jiang Liyu.

"I had the former captain of that squad come over and ask him what exactly happened in the secret realm."

He remained silent for a long time.

"Your Patriarch Ye is unaware that I have modified the secret realm."

"According to the normal matchmaking rules for the secret realm, he could only attribute the anomaly to himself and Jiang Liyu hiding their levels."

"So he stated his judgment."

Aikun raised his hand, palm facing up.

"After hearing this, the former captain fell into despair."

"Because all the people who died in the secret realm were his classmates in real life."

The player in the projection stood still, not saying a word for a long time.

He didn't turn and leave until the cheerful chorus played again, reaching the point where people were laughing.

"Finally, I arranged for him to commit suicide."

"Before he died, he left a message for your two ancestors."

Ai Kun tilted his head slightly.

"This tragedy is all because you concealed your levels."

"..."

The projection freezes.

Ye Chen sat with his head down in the now-empty room.

On the table were a group photo, two wreaths, and the storage item that was still playing New Year's songs on repeat.

There was no sound at all, neither inside nor outside the sky.

Ai Kun laughed.

He spread his hands out, as if displaying a work of art he had meticulously completed.

"How is it?"

"That move—"

"How about the guilt-based motivation method?"

[Ke Chun]: "Damn it!"

"Even if you, you bastard, kill me today, I'll still say these words!"

"Is strength the most important thing?"

"But your fucking despicable nature is unparalleled!"

"So you're just going to forcibly kill our ancestor, huh?!"

"Depend on!"

[Takimiya]: "By the way, what's the point of you doing this, streamer?"

"How did it become an incentive?"

[Waking up and realizing it was a dream]: "Yes!"

"To me, Old Ancestor Ye only seems to feel guilty; there's not a shred of encouragement."

That's a really important question.

Ai Kun smiled and tapped his folding fan twice in his palm.

"Who said I was inspiring your Patriarch Ye?"

"???"

[You Wen Zi You Wo]: "You dare to attack our Jiang Jianxian?"

Ai Kun rolled his eyes.

"Have you forgotten that in your second life, Jiang Jianxian was your master?"

"If I don't cultivate her independence, how will she teach her apprentices when faced with a truly dire situation?"

"..."

[The Fox King of Songjia Village]: "It is said that the Great Dao is ruthless, but Heaven is biased."

"How about you talk to your boss and ask if you two can switch seats?"

"..."

Ai Kun's lips twitched, and his gaze drifted involuntarily to the top of the live stream.

In that spot, there hangs a golden crack that no one can see.

Seeing His reaction, the comments section immediately erupted in cheers.

"Pfft..."

"Hahaha……"

"Alright everyone, stop teasing the streamer."

"Whatever they say they do, it's all to increase our chances of survival in this world."

"Is that a matter of righteousness?"

"Yes, that must be it. It's just that our ancestors, who were tricked by Him, suffered the most."

"Alright, alright, please continue, host."

Seeing these comments, Ai Kun's expression softened.

"well……"

He wiped away non-existent tears and put on a deeply moved expression.

"Now you finally understand my good intentions."

"In that case, I will forgive my little darlings for their previous mischief and take back the little curse that makes you choke on your water!"

Ai Kun raised his hand and made a gesture.

Every viewer watching the live stream saw a black light emerge from their chest.

The next moment, black light pierced through the screen, burst out of the lens, and fell back into Ai Kun's folding fan.

"..."

"..."
