Chapter 364: Chapter 308 Shared Life Shared Death Part 2

“There’s no extra information now, because this tiny cabin has already seen two geniuses who wanted to die with their lovers. According to probability theory, you’re most likely a normal person, who would pull the one you hate down with you,”

According to the social law that like attracts like and people group with those similar to them, if two out of four people are not normal, then the other two can’t be too far from abnormal, right?

Sonia inwardly scoffed but didn’t voice her thoughts aloud since that would be admitting she herself wasn’t normal.

“Who do you think you would hate? The somewhat reclusive Basement Girl or the solemn and proud Princess?”

Diya thought for a moment, nibbling on Ash’s finger in distress, shaking her head, “I can’t think of anyone.”

“Then just pick one at random,” said Ash. “Choose the one you like less based on your preferences. Narrowing down five options to one, there’s no helping it even if you’re wrong.”

Diya nodded her head, giving the two portraits a serious look.

She couldn’t really decide which one she liked more, but the girl living in the basement seemed even more pitiable, evoking a sympathetic compassion in Diya. So, she pointed at the portrait of the Princess and said, “I choose her.”

“I’m delighted you’ve accomplished an unprecedented feat–three people answering the same question,” the Witch twirled as she spoke. “Since the birth of the cabin, you’re the people to achieve this! Congratulations!”

With the Witch’s congratulations, firecrackers suddenly burst in the corners of the cabin, colorful confetti dancing in the air.

“Before we determine the answer, I must tell you the stakes you’ve placed on this question,” said the Witch cheerfully. “The other me, the treasure you’ve bet on this question is–the Mask Technique Spirit! Though you’ve forgotten about it, trust me, it’s very important to you!”

The Sword Maiden told Sonia, “You’ve bet on the Water Technique Faction.”

The Empress looked towards Denzel and gently uttered a term, “Secret.”

Everyone looked curiously at the Empress, who just shrugged, “Her treasure’s name is ‘Secret,’ or another name for it–‘Secret Avatar.’

“Technique Spirit?” Ash asked curiously.

“Not exactly,” said the Empress. “But it is her most precious treasure.”

The bets were confirmed, and what’s done was done.

The cabin fell into a moment of silence, then the Witch sighed, “Unfortunately…”

“You all got it right!”

Three beams of light fell upon them, their treasures restored. Diya excitedly manipulated the Mask Technique Spirit, and to her surprise, found her hair rapidly losing all other colors, leaving behind a pure, bright black.

“This is great, their voices aren’t so piercing anymore!”

Ash too was happy for her, “Then can you let go of my hand now?”

“Nope, keep holding on,” Diya clutched her backup food supply. “What if my head starts hurting again?”

Sonia didn’t experience any changes, but upon obtaining ‘Secret Avatar,’ Denzel’s ‘Peeping Secret’ form began to transform–specifically, the spider web blindfold over her eyes turned into metal ornamental rings, and the white silks woven from spider silk all turned black.

“As I said before, because all three of you answered at the same time, your reward has also changed,” said the Witch. “Firstly, the other me, congratulations on getting what you wished for–you’ve received the ‘Shared Death’ blessing.”

“When you die, the person you just chose will die in your stead…”

Diya was stunned; was it that strong? Did she just gain an extra life?

“…Not really,” laughed the Witch. “After all, that person isn’t here. The cabin’s power can’t affect someone outside.”

“So, your ‘Shared Death’ partner is a random person from this cabin.”

Everyone was taken aback. A random person?

If Diya received a fatal blow, one of them would randomly have to die in her place!?

Before they could even process this sudden calamity, Ash suddenly realized something and looked anxiously at Sonia.

Sonia was watching him, the corner of her lips curling into a sly arc, seemingly waiting for something.

The Sword Maiden looked at Sonia, “Your reward is also similar. When your soul weakens and you’re on the verge of death, the chosen person will share their soul with you, replenishing your losses with their soul.”

Ash was dumbfounded. Great, had he become someone’s emergency kit?

However, the Sword Maiden continued, “Likewise, if the person you choose is on the verge of death, your soul will also be shared with them. It can only be triggered once.”

“This is the ‘Shared Life’ Blessing.”

Ash breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good, that’s good. We’re each other’s angels, guardians! Lover, even for my sake, you must survive!”

“For you, I will definitely trigger this blessing as soon as possible, so as not to have you trigger it first,” Sonia said seriously, but the twinkle in her eyes completely betrayed her amusement.

Next was Denzel’s reward. As everyone watched in trembling anticipation, the Empress smiled, “As much as I would like to give out a Shared Life and Death reward, those blessings are too trivial compared to your artifact.”

She threw out a golden sphere, “This is your reward, 10000 Soul Power–”

“Wait a minute.”

The ever-silent Observer, who’d been simply watching the events unfold, raised his hand, causing the golden sphere of the Empress’s reward to freeze in midair.

Faced with everyone’s gaze, the Observer nonchalantly said, “This seems a bit unfair, doesn’t it?”

The group looked puzzled–though they had lost their memories, they felt that talking about ‘fairness’ in this place was as ridiculous as asking a virgin for love advice.

“While the ‘Secret Avatar’ is indeed equivalent to 10000 Soul Power, the ‘Peeping Secret Maiden’s’ armament is priced at 15 Soul Power, and she could endlessly plunder rewards from us with that ability,” the Observer chuckled. “Seems a bit off, doesn’t it? There’s a loophole in the rules!”

The Empress looked surprised at the suspended sphere in the air, as if she saw something incomprehensible, “So what are you suggesting… that we disregard this question?”

“No, the question has ended, and the cabin isn’t that petty,” the Observer pointed his finger, and the sphere fell into Denzel’s body, “But we need to modify the rules.”

“First, the artifact from that last question must continue to be wagered for the next question.”

A streak of gold light drifted out of Denzel’s body, and her ‘Peeping Secret Maiden’ instantly reverted from the Spider Silk form back to the White Silk form.

“Second, we forbid the power she just used inside the cabin.”

A light mist appeared, and Denzel was directly stripped of her ‘Peeping Secret Maiden’ form, her outfit instantly changing back to the Spider Web cloak she wore when she first entered.

The Avatars didn’t react much, just silently reflecting on how the cabin was not easily deceived, the loophole was fixed as soon as it appeared.

The only person in the cabin who was shocked was the Empress Phantom–being an examiner generated by the cabin, she had some powers of the cabin and knew that, though the cabin did indeed have a loophole repairing function, it was a lengthy process that typically took years, and it certainly wouldn’t be carried out by a Phantom personally!

Moreover, what the Observer Phantom did wasn’t a repair!

He was changing the cabin’s rules with his words!
