Survival for all, my island is the last pure land on earth.

Upon hearing this, Jin Xiaoman and the other three turned their heads to look at the middle-aged man, their faces showing amusement.

Upon hearing Eris's question, the middle-aged man's pupils suddenly contracted, his face turned extremely pale in an instant, and even his breathing became erratic.

His Adam's apple bobbed heavily.

Eris grinned bloodthirstyly: "Player Wuxin Sanren, please answer the question."

"Countdown, 5"

"4"

"3"

Jin Xiaoman and the other three looked at Eris again, their gazes becoming complicated upon meeting hers.

Eris had undergone a startling transformation compared to when she first entered the room.

Its body expanded and grew rapidly without warning, and a series of teeth-grinding "crackling" sounds came from inside its body. The four people clearly realized that it was the sound of the bones frantically extending and rubbing against each other.

Bones shattered the original skeleton, and the skin and flesh were torn apart, revealing bright red blood and flesh, which then healed in an instant.

In just three seconds, its body swelled to twice its original size, and its once beautiful emerald green eyes turned scarlet, its gaze aggressive, looking at Wuxin Sanren as if he were a very delicious dessert.

"2"

"1"

"No," Wuxin Sanren vehemently denied, "I have never killed a girl named Jasmine."

His eyes darted around, his expression stiff, and he tried to cover up his guilty conscience by raising his voice.

"Answer." Eris's smile grew even more maniacal. It stuck out its tongue and licked its face heavily, leaving a long trail of saliva, as if it had tasted something delicious. It squinted its eyes comfortably: "Wrong."

"Ha ha ha ha."

A shrill laugh echoed through the small room.

Jin Xiaoman noticed that as Eris spoke, long, cold, and eerie fingernails extended from her fingertips, as if she were already prepared to take Wuxin Sanren's life at any moment.

The four looked each other over, clearly realizing that the game was not as simple as it seemed, or rather, that there was definitely something wrong with this Eris.

The short-haired girl spoke first: "Wu Xin San Ren, tell the truth."

"I'm just telling the truth."

The young boy screamed, "But the host said you answered wrong! Look at it yourself, it's mutated into...what has it become? What if it kills us all instead of playing the game because of your lie?"

Wuxin Sanren: "So what if I killed him? I can just revive him with an A-grade item. Or, if all else fails, I can just quit the game. You don't think you're that important, that your ranking will drop without you, do you?"

Girl with pigtails: "You have such an unpleasant way of speaking."

The group at the round table argued incessantly, with the young boy even brandishing his fist as if to attack Wuxin Sanren.

Jin Xiaoman glanced at the remaining four people but found nothing suspicious in their current behavior; the four looked like complete strangers.

But that's precisely where things go wrong.

The note was very detailed, even including the girl's name. This suggests that if the incident did occur, the player who wrote the note likely had a close relationship with the girl, Jasmine, and knew the whole story.

If such a person truly exists, there's a high probability that Wuxin Sanren would recognize him, rather than being completely unfamiliar with him.

Young boy: "If you want to die, don't drag us down with you. Forget about points; what if the rewards for completing this game are incredibly generous? Can you afford to pay for it?"

Wuxin Sanren: "Let's not even talk about whether you can win this game and get the reward. Right now, we don't even know what the reward is! What if there isn't one?"

Upon hearing this, the group fell silent instantly.

Eris raised her hand and said, "It's alright, lying is fine too. All I want is an answer. Let's not let a small matter ruin our harmony. Now, let's continue the game."

Jin Xiaoman lowered her eyes. She guessed that there was probably something wrong with the rewards in this game. Otherwise, there would be no reason why Eris would sit and watch them argue for so long without reacting, but immediately stand up when the rewards were mentioned, and even forgive Wuxin Sanren for lying.

According to Eris's initial transformation, it was originally intended to kill the Heartless Wanderer.

Eris pointed to the twin tails: "Your turn, 1-300."

The girl with pigtails was clearly nervous. She clutched the hem of her shirt, glanced at everyone, and took a deep breath: "298."

Eris: "1-298, next one."

The five people took turns going around. Because of the little incident earlier, and because Eris deliberately scrambled their order when pointing, they looked at each other, waiting for the so-called next person to speak.

"5"

"4"

"3"

...

Jin Xiaoman said at the last second, "100".

At the same time, Jin Xiaoman received a hint: [The selected number bomb is 10.]

The young man suddenly stood up, frowning in confusion: "Are you crazy? Why are you shrinking so fast?"

The short-haired girl looked up and said, "She did the right thing. This game not only has bomb numbers, but also lucky numbers. The faster the circle shrinks, the fewer chances everyone will step on a landmine. And given the host's current situation, the game should end as soon as possible."

Her eyes held a hint of suspicion: "Why are you so averse to the game shrinking quickly? Is it because the longer the game drags on, the better for you?"

The young boy seemed to have his secret exposed, and an unnatural expression flashed across his face: "Don't talk nonsense. I'm just worried that if the circle shrinks too fast, when it's my turn, there will be fewer numbers to choose from, and I might just pick the bomb number directly."

Wuxin Sanren sneered: "Then according to your logic, we should all line up and slowly count from one to one thousand."

Young boy: "You murderer, I haven't even said you lied and almost got us all killed here..."

After Eris and the others had finished arguing and fallen completely silent, they slowly spoke up: "1-100, next one."

The short-haired girl also chose to count off at the perfect moment: "50".

The young boy's facial muscles twitched, his eyes filled with anger, but in the end he said nothing.

Eris: "1-50, next one."

"5"

"4"

...

"1"

"Countdown is over. Player 'Shark is not a shark' did not respond in time. Player 'Shark is not a shark' will now be killed."

The young boy then realized that in his anger he had forgotten that he was the next player to call out a number, and he shouted, "49!"

Eris's nails, which had been hidden since the game returned to normal, shone brightly again. It slowly walked over to the shark (not the shark) and whispered something in his ear with a playful expression.

Upon hearing this, the shark, who was not a shark, widened his eyes in fear. He opened his mouth to say something, but Eris tore his throat apart first.

Blood slowly flowed from his mouth, his body went limp, and finally slid to the ground like flowing water, where it was swallowed up by the earth.

Blood splattered everywhere, with a few drops hitting Jin Xiaoman's face. She tore off a piece of her clothing and calmly wiped it away.
