Chapter 34: Fake Death

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Since this was all part of his plan, they had to respond accordingly,

Therefore, Lotte suggested that Su Chen used the method of fake death. The night before the battle, Lotte secretly invited Su Chen to a room, but there was another person in the room who surprised him. The person who appeared was actually Minida.

Minida smiled and did not say anything. Lotte first touched his head, then, he said shyly, “She’ll help us. She’s the one who will be fighting us on the day of the duel. So, as long as we lose and fake our deaths, we’ll be transported out as corpses. At that time, we can able to think of a way to get out.”

After Lotte finished speaking, Minida simply added, “I’ll help you.”

It should have been a fake death… But why was Lotte really dead? !

Su Chen had a bad feeling. Something must have gone wrong in the plan, so he picked up Lotte’s body and started to walk out of the city.

However, when he was about to walk out of the city, he saw a large group of people waiting for him. Marl was right in front of the crowd. Marl seemed to have expected that Su Chen would appear. When he saw Su Chen, his expression was very calm and he even had a hint of a smile on his face.

“I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time. Isn’t your friend dead? Why are you carrying him on your back?”

“So, all of this is your doing?!”

Su Chen now knew that he had been toyed with all this time.

“Aren’t you the ones playing tricks? My warriors? I trusted you so much, but in the end, you played tricks on me. Even my most trusted guards are playing tricks on me…”

After he said that, the guard beside him picked up a person as if he was carrying trash. That person was Minida. Minida was covered in wounds. Even her face was badly mutilated, but she only smiled at Su Chen.

“How about it? If you turn back now, I’ll still accept you as a warrior of Marhaz. Of course, I’ll also allow you and her to live…”

Su Chen knew that even if he agreed, it would only turn from a dead end to a very long dead end. It was only from this moment that Su Chen realized that he could no longer escape if he wanted to protect the person he wanted to protect.

While he was contemplating how he could break out of the encirclement, Marl lost his patience.

“It seems that you don’t have the courage to make a decision. Then, I’ll give you a push. I’m counting to ten now. You make the decision. If you can’t make a decision, then there’s no choice. I can’t tolerate the traitors of the country living.

“Ten…

“Nine…

“Eight…

“Seven…

“Six…

“Five…

“Four…

“Three…

“Two…”

There was only one more number left, but Su Chen still had no way to charge out of such a large team. It was too difficult…

Just as Marl was about to speak…

Bang!

A loud sound exploded in the middle of the group.

Su Chen focused his eyes on Minida. Her left hand had already exploded. Marl did not seem to have expected it when Minida started to laugh maniacally. “Five bombs have been planted in my body. Now that one of them has exploded, even if I die, my body will continue to explode. Su Chen, Lotte’s already dead. I’ve already done the last thing I wanted to do. I hope that you can take him with you, so he won’t die so pitifully in the game. Please…”

This was the first time Minida had said such a serious thing to Su Chen. Then, Minida’s right hand exploded again.

The group started to panic. Su Chen also saw Minida opening her mouth to signal for him to leave.

Su Chen carried Lotte and started to run into the jungle as Minida’s left leg exploded.

He carried Lotte’s body back to Haiping Village after a day and night. By the time he reached the village entrance, he was already lying on his stomach.

When he opened his eyes again, a familiar scene appeared in front of him.

“You’re awake. Tell me, why do you always suffer such serious injuries?”

This familiar voice was Youli.

When he looked closer, Youli was standing by his bed with a bowl of porridge in her hand. Yousi, who was outside the door, seemed to have heard the commotion and immediately rushed into the room.

“Su Chen! You’re awake!”

However, Su Chen’s first reaction when he saw Yousi was to remember something important.

“Where’s Lotte?”

Yousi’s expression froze for a moment before he lowered his head and said softly, “I buried him in the back of the mountain.”

“Take me to him.”

Suchen did not even have time to drink the porridge before he went straight to the back of the mountain to reminisce. Yousi had erected a simple monument for Lotte. After so many days in the game world, this was the first time he had experienced such a life-and-death parting with such a close friend.

Su Chen told Yousi everything that had happened after Yousi left. Yousi had to hold it in for a long time as his eyes turned red.

“I shouldn’t have left the two of you there. It’s all my fault!”

Su Chen shook his head. He used a tone that had never been so angry and determined to say, “I understand the rules of the game. If I can’t protect anyone in the game, I’m not willing to be a coward in the real world. So, I don’t plan to go back just like that. I want to make Marl pay the price. I want to become stronger. I want to be able to control my own life.”

After he finished speaking, Yousi came out of his emotions and looked at Su Chen in surprise. He had known Su Chen for so long and had never seen him like this.

However, he quickly accepted it and patted his shoulder.

“Brother, I support your decision and I’m willing to accompany you to do this.”

After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and returned to their home in Haiping Village. After returning home, Xiao Yuan, who had not appeared for a long time, suddenly had a reaction. There was an email. She said to check it carefully.

When Su Chen opened the email, the sender’s name on the screen was actually Minida.

“Why would she send you a letter?!”

When Yousi saw this situation, he was also shocked.

“Who is she?”

When Youli, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard their tone, she too felt puzzled. However, Yousi immediately laughed and sent Youli away.

“What? You don’t allow us to meet other girls outside?”

As expected, after saying that, Youli pouted and immediately stopped talking.

“Quickly open it and see what she says.”

Thus, Su Chen opened the email with a perturbed heart. Could it be that Minida was still alive after being blown up by the bomb?

Suddenly, Xiao Yuan sent another notification. “Master, are you sure you want to open this email? The sender’s already in a canceled state..”
