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

Wuxin Sanren was already terrified by the lucky number incident, and now another player was being torn apart before his eyes. He screamed in fear, "No, this shouldn't be happening..."

Before he could finish speaking, he lost his breath and collapsed against the back of his chair, unconscious.

Eris tilted her head, her cat eyes returned to their normal green vertical pupils, and her sharp claws retracted halfway.

It moved closer to Wuxin Sanren, twitched its nose, blinked twice, and looked rather pitiful and innocent.

It turned to the remaining three people at the round table: "He's passed out, what do we do?"

Before the three could answer, Eris raised his arms and said loudly, "Then the game continues, hahaha, after all, he should have died long ago."

"1-50, next one."

"5"

"4"

"3"

Since Wuxin Sanren had already fainted, he was naturally unable to count down anymore, so Eris killed him in the same way after the countdown ended.

"1-50, next one."

The girl with pigtails quickly counted: "20."

"1-20, next one."

Jin Xiaoman: "11".

Hint: [The selected numbers are not 1 or 10.]

Jin Xiaoman was unable to glean any useful information from the three clues because they all lacked a crucial prerequisite: how many of the clues provided by Eris were true and how many were false.

Moreover, Jin Xiaoman's biggest concern right now is not the exact number of bombs, but what Eris and the shark (not the shark) said that made him so terrified before he died.

He knew perfectly well that death wasn't real death, and that even if he couldn't revive with an A-grade item, he could simply exit the game.

Jin Xiaoman tapped her fingers rhythmically on the table.

"1-11, next one."

Short-haired girl: "7."

Eris tilted her head: "Ha, congratulations, you've chosen your lucky number. Please draw one from the remaining four blank sheets of paper."

The short-haired girl's expression went blank for a moment, her face stiffening, as if she hadn't expected to guess the lucky number. She raised her hand and ultimately chose the punishment on the left.

"Please answer: From the moment you entered the game until now, how many players have you killed for what reasons?"

The short-haired girl glanced quickly at the girl with pigtails: "I don't remember how many players I've killed."

Eris: "It's alright, just give me a number."

"Two thousand, three thousand, it's possible, maybe even more." She spread her hands: "I don't think anyone keeps track of the number of people they've killed."

Eris seemed convinced and nodded: "Then tell me the reason for the murder."

Short-haired girl: "I want to live."

Jin Xiaoman leaned back in her chair, a playful smile playing on her lips. She thought she probably knew what kind of tricks were going on in this game.

The girl with pigtails clapped her hands: "You mean, there were two thousand, even three thousand people who wanted to kill you, and you killed them in self-defense?"

Short-haired girl: "I didn't say that. I just said that I killed people because I needed to survive."

"I object; that reason is too vague."

The short-haired girl clenched her fist: "The host hasn't said anything yet, what right do you have to object?"

"I just feel like we can't let you get away with this anymore, otherwise it's not fair to either of us, right?"

The girl with pigtails looked at Jin Xiaoman.

Jin Xiaoman crossed her legs, relaxed her posture, and placed her hands on her lap, neither saying it was right nor wrong.

The girl with pigtails looked a little embarrassed. She leaned closer and whispered, "If she dies, it'll just be the two of us left in the arena. Our odds of winning will go from thirty to fifty. Aren't you tempted?"

Jin Xiaoman: "I'm not interested, because I don't even know what the prize for victory is. What, you know?"

The girl with pigtails cleared her throat lightly: "Of course I don't know either, but this game has reached this level, the rewards must be very generous."

Jin Xiaoman maintained a faint smile throughout: "That makes sense."

Seeing that Jin Xiaoman had been convinced, the girl with pigtails clenched her fist in celebration: "Yes, referee, we both think her answer was very unreasonable. Can we execute her?"

Seeing that the three of them had fallen silent, Eris's eyes crinkled with laughter: "Of course you can, but player Drunk in the Mortal World, do you have anything to say in your defense?"

Drunk and lying in the mortal world with his eyes closed: "There's nothing to explain. I really can't remember how many people I killed, and I really did kill because I needed to survive. You should be able to tell that I'm not lying."

Eris: "You didn't lie, but you didn't give me a specific answer either. So, I'll give you another chance. If either of them agrees to let you continue the game, I'll let this punishment go. How about it?"

The girl with pigtails grabbed Jin Xiaoman's arm: "Sister, don't forget what I just told you? If she dies, we'll have a fifty percent chance of winning."

Drunk in the Mortal World: "She's right. If I die, your chances of winning are fifty, but it also means your chances of losing are fifty. Are you sure you want to take that risk?"

Twin-tailed girl: "We've all been living in the game for so long, and we've done things that are even more adventurous than this."

"Besides, sisters, even if you lose, you only have to hand over an A-grade item and return to the first floor of the maze. This is a price that anyone can accept. It's worth taking a gamble."

Eris looked at Jin Xiaoman with interest: "What's your choice?"

Jin Xiaoman's gaze swept over the two people in front of her inch by inch, enjoying their tense expressions with a rather wicked sense of amusement. Just as they were about to lose their composure, she slowly spoke: "My choice is to execute Zuiwo Hongchen."

The girl with twin ponytails excitedly raised her hand: "Me too, I choose to execute her."

Eris: "As the two beautiful ladies wish."

It circled around behind Zuiwo Hongchen and whispered in her ear as usual. Zuiwo Hongchen's expression, unlike that of a shark, turned to extreme fear in an instant, and she began to struggle frantically.

Eris raised his hand and snapped his fingers. With a very soft "poof," Drunkard of the Mortal World exploded into a spray of blood.

Jin Xiaoman looked up and saw Eris wink at her; it was a very quick movement, gone in an instant.

Eris: "The game continues, 1-7, next."

The girl with pigtails had an indescribable excitement in her eyes, and she said impatiently, "5, my number is 5."

She laughed heartily, tears streaming down her face: "So much money! Do you know why each of them was filled with fear before they died?"

Her expression was arrogant, carrying the unique sarcasm of a victor towards a loser: "Because in this room, there is no such thing as reviving with A-grade items. Death is true death. From this day forward, you will be completely eliminated from the game."

"And I will receive God's blessing, and be able to escape this damned game world, return to Earth, and return to my beloved family who love me."

She gently stroked Jin Xiaoman's cheek, her voice softer than ever before: "I should thank you properly, so I will find your family on Earth and kill them."

Eris slowly turned his head, his eyes fixed on Jin Xiaoman as if he were staring at a dying prey: "5-7, next."
