Baiduren woke up very early, leaving at 5 o’clock.
He hid behind a haystack, monitoring the thatched cottage of Ordinary Girl Village Chief.
At around 5:10, Ordinary Girl Village Chief came out.
She was still wearing that loose black tracksuit, making her look very petite.
Compared to usual, today she was carrying a small bundle and wearing a black baseball cap.
She warily surveyed the surroundings.
Her eyes were gloomy and aggressive.
After confirming no one was there, she headed toward the back hill.
‘What is she doing so early?’
Baiduren touched his nose bridge, frowning slightly.
Baiduren was not an ordinary person.
He was a veteran player who had participated in 12 death games and an outer member of the organization “Heavenly Punishment.”
After the 10th game ended, a member of this organization had approached him.
He learned that the comrade who survived together with him in the previous game was an outer member of “Heavenly Punishment,” who reported his situation to the organization.
He met the standard of an outer member, so he was invited.
But if it was an invitation, not joining would probably mean being killed.
Baiduren didn’t know exactly what “Heavenly Punishment” did.
He only knew from that comrade that it was an organization composed entirely of death game players.
Its influence was enormous, and it would spend heavily to cultivate death game players.
If one’s APP level reached 50, they would qualify to become a full member of “Heavenly Punishment,” enjoying more resources and intelligence.
Baiduren had strong physical abilities and had received specialized combat training.
He originally planned to keep it hidden.
But yesterday, because of Pikachu, he was forced to reveal his powerful strength and game cards.
However, thanks to Yi Mo, he wasn’t the only one who accidentally exposed his strength!
There was also that Ordinary Girl Village Chief!
It turned out that in this game, Yi Mo was not the only one with a gun; Ordinary Girl Village Chief also had one!
Over the past few days, Ordinary Girl Village Chief had avoided the spotlight and stayed out of everyone’s suspicion.
Baiduren always felt she was the most threatening, so he decided to leave early today to follow her!
To see what she was hiding!
Ordinary Girl Village Chief’s movement speed wasn’t slow, and Baiduren didn’t dare to follow too closely, keeping a considerable distance.
As she reached the village hill and proceeded up a mountain path, her speed began to slow down.
Baiduren gradually closed the distance.
Hiding among the grass and trees, he cautiously monitored her every move.
At the mid-mountain position, Ordinary Girl Village Chief seemed to discover something.
She suddenly stopped, crouched down, and looked into the bushes.
This startled Baiduren.
He hid himself, adjusted his glasses, and quickly looked carefully.
“Mm… so cute…”
“Chirp… chirp…!”
“Ah… damn it!!!”
In the end…
It was just that Ordinary Girl Village Chief had found a squirrel.
Happily imitating animal sounds, she tried to attract it.
She even took a small fruit from her pocket and carefully tossed it over.
But the little squirrel grabbed the fruit with its little paws.
Then, it heartlessly held the fruit and whoosh ran away.
Ordinary Girl Village Chief froze, her face visibly darkening, looking like she wanted to kill someone.
Baiduren felt very helpless.
And so, Ordinary Girl Village Chief leisurely spent a full 3 hours on the hill.
Every time she encountered a small animal or cute insect, she got excited and happy, wanting to interact with them.
But she failed every time, as if she were naturally hated by animals.
This made Baiduren doubt life.
‘Was she… just here to play???’
‘Absolutely not!’
That gun from yesterday was clearly assembled.
Even the “Heavenly Punishment” organization didn’t provide intel on the ability to assemble one’s own gun in the death game, yet she could do it.
She was definitely not as simple as she seemed!
All this must be an illusion!
And at that moment, Ordinary Girl Village Chief was nearing the hilltop.
She suddenly stopped, dropped her bundle on a patch of grass, and her gaze turned sharp.
She reached into the pocket of her tracksuit and pulled out a toy gun.
With agile movements, she fired in three different directions.
Her movements were very practiced—clearly an experienced gun user!
“Biu—biu—biu—!”
Her pistol was an assembled gun.
To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that it could actually shoot specially made metal steel nails, people would mistake it for a toy.
Baiduren thought he might have been discovered.
He quickly lay down in the grass.
Hearing the not-so-loud gunshots, he frowned slightly.
After confirming he wasn’t hit, he planned to push aside the shrubs ahead to see what Ordinary Girl Village Chief was doing.
But he felt a chill on his forehead.
Ordinary Girl Village Chief was squatting behind the shrub, looking at him with a gloomy expression.
The toy gun was pressed against his head.
Her tone was cold: “Pervert stalker, want to die?”
So… she found me…
At this point, Baiduren had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender, expression unchanged: “I don’t want to die. I surrender.”
“But you wouldn’t dare shoot me. Otherwise, the system might kill you instead.”
Ordinary Girl Village Chief grinned contemptuously: “I just need to destroy your eyes so you can’t get down the mountain all day. At midnight, you’ll exceed the time limit and be eliminated by the system.”
“How about it? Want to try?”
Baiduren felt a chill down his spine.
He remembered Dieyu’s warning not to try to probe Ordinary Girl Village Chief’s background.
He realized he had underestimated her by more than a little.
Gritting his teeth, he said, “I don’t believe you have enough points to deduct!”
Ordinary Girl Village Chief: “If I destroy your eyes without damaging your brain, about 15,000 points should be enough.”
“If I only damage your cornea, I probably won’t even need 10,000 points.”
“You don’t need to worry about how many points I have.”
“Just know, you’re not worth the points I’d waste doing that.”
Baiduren had participated in 12 death games, and his remaining points didn’t exceed 1,500.
He didn’t know if Ordinary Girl Village Chief was bluffing or if she was really on a completely different level.
But he was indeed intimidated.
He softened slightly: “You win. What do you want to do?”
Ordinary Girl Village Chief withdrew her toy gun, looking very displeased.
She clicked her tongue: “Didn’t Dieyu warn you not to approach me?”
“Heh heh heh… Seems she really doesn’t learn.”
“But since you’re here and I’m tired, you can help me bring back what I shot down.”
As she spoke, she returned to where she had dropped her bundle.
She opened it—inside were vegetables and fruits.
She took out a wooden skewer and said to Baiduren in an unfriendly tone: “String up the sparrows and roast them for me!”
“If you burn them, you’re dead, stalker!”
“Also, these fruits, vegetables, and the roasted sparrows are all mine!”
“Don’t think that just because you’re my slave, I’ll reward you with food!”
“Tch.”
Cthulhu and Unrivaled had now completely teamed up.
Arms around each other’s shoulders, they were happily chatting, perfectly selective in forgetting their confrontational attitudes from yesterday’s judgment meeting.
“Oh, right, Brother Cthulhu, about the injury on your face from Pikachu yesterday?”
“Didn’t the Witch save me with medicine?”
“It healed directly!”
“Indeed, indeed, that’s what I thought!”
“Yo, that fat b*tch really tricked me yesterday!”
“Don’t mind it, brother!”
“What are you saying? As long as you see the situation clearly today, it’s not too late. There’s still time.”
Cthulhu and Unrivaled chatted, sitting near the round table.
It was already 5 PM.
The entire village was eerie—except for Taoqimao, who had been hiding in her thatched cottage and not coming out, all the other players had disappeared!
Even more eerie, the meal that was supposed to appear every day was also gone.
It was barely understandable yesterday because of the heavy rain.
But today, with clear skies and a bright sun, why no food?
Ah, so frustrating!
But no matter.
There was the vegetable field, right?
So the two went to the vegetable field hoping to find something to eat.
“Damn, who did this!!!”
“It must be either Shiba Daye or that gloomy pockmarked girl!”
Unrivaled cursed when he saw that the vegetable field had been completely destroyed.
That meant they had nothing to eat now—they would have to go hungry!
At that thought, he regretted not saving more food earlier or picking some vegetables.
Finally, as dusk approached, Shiba Daye and Dieyu returned first.
They walked one in front of the other, clearly in a rift, and didn’t speak.
Yi Mo hadn’t gone elsewhere.
He returned to his thatched cottage, grabbed his hunting rifle, sat down at the round table, closed his eyes, and started sleeping like an old monk in meditation.
Dieyu went back to her thatched cottage.
After a while, she changed into a pretty dress, sat beside Yi Mo, and without speaking, rested her head on the round table, quietly looking at Yi Mo’s sleeping face.
Cthulhu frowned.
He wanted to talk to Yi Mo alone.
After all, Yi Mo was likely not a lover and was the village chief, with 1.5 votes.
If he could win Yi Mo’s vote, today would be almost certain.
But…
Dieyu was nearby, making it difficult.
Cthulhu hesitated for a while before finally mustering the courage to approach Yi Mo with Unrivaled.
When he reached him, he gently patted his shoulder and said in a very soft tone: “Village Chief Shiba Daye?”
“Um, I have something I’d like to discuss somewhere private. Is that okay?”
His tone was extremely humble.
He had no choice.
Yesterday they were at odds, but today he had to rely on Yi Mo.
Whether he lived or died today depended entirely on Yi Mo’s mood.
The village chief’s 1.5 votes might have seemed insignificant when there were more people, but now with only 7 players left, it had become crucial.
Yi Mo looked up, his gaze as gloomy as a dead man’s, staring at the humble Cthulhu beside him.
He didn’t say anything, just looked at him.
Cthulhu was completely bewildered.
