Chapter 99

If what Lu Miao did before was almost as uncomfortable as killing Qiu Tianhao, now Lu Miao brings Su Anqi to see his joke, it is simply killing someone and killing him.

Qiu Tianhao has lived his whole life in the evaluation of others. When he was a child, he was coerced by his mother's ambition. When he grew up, he was restricted by worldly vision. Throughout his life, he never lived for himself.

He seems to have been used to this kind of life for a long time. Even when he entered this horror game, he subconsciously maintained his own image, attracted people who were beneficial to him, and did everything possible to achieve a goal that he didn't know when he would be able to achieve.

Qiu Tianhao simply doesn't know how to live without others' eyes.

He is very sensitive to the emotions in anyone's eyes, and any slightest disturbance will make him feel like a powerful enemy. Later, when he took power, this mentality turned into suspicious and moody, which made his employees and players nervous.

He was tortured and complained endlessly.

Qiu Tianhao has always been a high-class person living in the clouds. He comes from a wealthy family, is academically successful, and inherited the family business early. Anyone who sees him will say that he is the best among people.

His competitiveness has always tormented him, but it has never brought him such a strong sense of shame as it does today.

He has nothing now and cannot return to the real world. Everything in the game has been taken away by Lu Miao. Even the image he worked so hard to cultivate was torn to pieces by Lu Miao and Ning Liangzhe in the last dungeon.

Qiu Tianhao originally thought that he was miserable enough, and the end result was to live alone and hopelessly in this dark redundant database.

He didn't expect that Lu Miao could actually resurrect Su Anqi who died in the dungeon!

Feeling that the two of them were talking about him, Qiu Tianhao finally recovered from his previous state of despair. He was almost pathologically sensitive to other people's eyes, especially when he was depressed.

Sensing Su Anqi's shocked gaze, his expression suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously felt that Lu Miao had brought someone to humiliate him.

"Lu Miao, if you want to take revenge on me, you can just kill me! What does it mean to bring people to see me make a fool of myself!"

During the time when Lu Miao left, various thoughts went through Qiu Tianhao's mind several times. He realized that he had nothing now. He could not do anything in this empty redundant database.

It would be better to die happily.

He had killed so many of Zhou Dongfeng's men, and Zhou Dongfeng had long wanted to kill him a hundred times, rather than spare his life just to torture him, so that he would have a chance to turn around in the future.

As for the grudge between him and Lu Miao, to put it bluntly, it was just that he made a mistake and selected Lu Miao as the last high-potential newcomer he killed before entering the high-player zone.

He believed that the hatred between them was not so deep that Lu Miao had to torture him like this.

However, Lu Miao had made a deal with him under the witness of the system, so Lu Miao would definitely not kill him personally.

As expected, after hearing his words, Lu Miao frowned slightly and looked at him with deep eyes: "Qiu Tianhao, you may not believe it, but I have never thought of killing anyone."

When he was in the dungeon, if Qiu Tianhao hadn't been pressing him every step of the way, Lu Miao wouldn't have been able to fight back so thoroughly.

After discovering the existence of the redundant database, Lu Miao no longer had any murderous intentions towards him.

His original intention of playing this game was to see if it could fulfill his wish in the end and return his clean and pure "Ideal Town". If possible, it would be best not to interfere with these players who have their own desires.

He is not the type to infringe on the interests of others for his own desires, but if someone threatens his life, Lu Miao will fight back without hesitation.

It's a pity that people like Qiu Tianhao can't understand Lu Miao's thoughts no matter what.

He only felt that Lu Miao refused to kill him because of the rules of the system.

Qiu Tianhao wanted to die now, in order to prevent Lu Miao from bringing people over to humiliate him wantonly like he did today. His mind was racing, and he quickly turned his attention to Su Anqi who was aside.

As the top player who once dominated the newcomer area and made everyone jealous, Qiu Tianhao naturally knows the past of these ranking players very well, and he knows very well what methods to use to anger each other.

"Su Anqi, you were fooled once before, are you going to be fooled a second time?" He stared into Su Anqi's eyes with malice, "You have been in this game for more than two years. In such a long time, with nearly a hundred copies, you

Should we still have expectations for so-called human nature and emotions?"

Su Anqi's face froze slightly.

The ex-boyfriend who entered the game with her has always been a haze that cannot be erased from her heart. After all, he was not only the person she once truly loved, but he was also the first player she killed with her own hands.

Qiu Tianhao's words were like stabbing a knife into her heart.

But Su Anqi quickly calmed down.

The smile on her face slowly fell, and she looked down at Qiu Tianhao. Her originally delicate and innocent face was tense, showing a bit of the majesty of a superior person for no reason.

"Qiu Tianhao, your words are of no use to me anymore," Su Anqi said.

If Qiu Tianhao had said these words when they were still in the dungeon, Su Anqi might have been influenced by him and killed Qiu Tianhao in a rage.

But the Su Anqi now is no longer the Su Anqi she used to be.

The former Su Anqi was sealed in that dark screen, but now she is just a string of data extracted by Lu Miao from the screen, no different from the NPCs in this game.

Furthermore, as early as when she turned around to save Fang Siqi, she had already reconciled with her past.

It has been enough to punish myself for more than two years with other people's mistakes.

"There are only three of us in this place now, why do you still have to be so mean, don't you feel tired? If you have any questions, just tell Lu Miao directly. I have no grudges against you, and I don't bother to care about your twists and turns.

"Su Anqi said very fiercely, "As for what you said, I'm sorry, you don't have anyone you trust, but I do."

Qiu Tianhao understood the meaning of Su Anqi's words and looked at him in disbelief: "You actually believe him? How long have you known him! He has been using you, can't you see it?!"

"I can see it, but so what?"

A few days ago, Su Anqi herself might not have been able to believe that she could actually have such deep trust in another player.

But as she said before, Lu Miao seemed to have magical powers. Even without any ability to confuse people, he could still make people fall in love with him.

She herself is also a die-hard member.

If it were her before, she might have felt panicked about this kind of trust, and would have endless doubts about herself and Lu Miao. However, after only experiencing two copies with Lu Miao, she no longer had the anxiety and panic in her heart now.

Her mood was extremely calm. Even when facing Qiu Tianhao, the former number one in the rankings, she was not at all afraid.

"Lu Miao took advantage of me, but because of him, I got out of the endless internal friction, and got enough benefits from him to make me willing. Why, Qiu Tianhao, this is not the benefit you have always believed in

In exchange? If you exchange it for other people's interests, you can't understand it?"

Qiu Tianhao really couldn't understand it.

In his world, transactions are predatory in nature. Both parties to the transaction will use any means to obtain higher benefits from the other party, and they can abandon the other party at any time because of benefits.

Precisely because of the education he received since childhood, he never felt panic after entering this horror game, but felt as if his nature had been liberated.

Here, no one is more moral than anyone else. Even if he killed many players who could not bring him more benefits for the sake of Ning Liangzhe, who looked like an ordinary player, no one would condemn him.

Everyone here is extremely adaptable to the dark law of the jungle.

Because those who cannot adapt are already dead.

Even Zhou Dongfeng, who has always been indecisive and womanly, had to harden his heart and adapt to such rules.

He never imagined that Lu Miao, who had only been in the game for less than a week, could actually make Su Anqi, who had been severely betrayed, trust him so much.

Qiu Tianhao has never experienced this feeling, not even with his own parents.

He stared at Su Anqi with uncertain eyes for a long time, his expression changed several times, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether he was jealous or angry.

Su Anqi and Lu Miao didn't get too entangled with him. He was just an unarmed ordinary man. Although Su Anqi's panel attributes were not as good as his, Lu Miao gave her a new weapon, the giant ax with a broken handle.

From today on, Su Anqi will no longer have to use the dagger of betrayal and the gun of deception to protect herself.

She will use her giant ax to defend her other self's right to freedom.

Lu Miao did not leave the redundant database immediately. He walked around in this dark area and found the three copies he had previously cleared, "The Lost Sister", "A Quiet Day" and "The Magic Tower".

Except for "The Disappearing Sister", the "corpses" on the loser screen in the latter two dungeons are not particularly special compared to other dungeons. They look like just two ordinary dungeons.

Lu Miao stood in front of the particularly towering screen mountain in "The Lost Sister" for a while, then quickly turned around and left, heading to another place.

It's not like he hasn't thought about using his authority in this area to copy all the NPCs in "Ideal Town" and rebuild a new one here, close to the "Ideal Town" in his memory.

But as soon as this idea arose, Lu Miao himself denied it.

"Ideal Town" is "Ideal Town" and nothing can replace it. What's more, in this game, the NPCs he was once so familiar with have undergone varying degrees of mutation. He is not sure whether he will replace these NPCs.

What will be the consequences if they are copied?

What's more, the NPCs in "Ideal Town" are already infinitely close to real life forms. These pirated data cannot replace the lovely townspeople in Lu Miao's mind.

But Lu Miao does need some NPC data.

He stopped in front of the screen hill of the second dungeon. After hesitating for a while, he finally shook his head and chose the third dungeon.

Before the redundant data of the copy of "Magic Tower".

Lu Miao was about to try out another rule taught to him by the system when he suddenly noticed a tiny black spot appearing above the hill.

This black spot kept flipping in mid-air, slowly getting bigger, and finally hit the top of the hill formed by the screen with a "bang".

Another player failed to clear the level and was sent to this place of death.

Lu Miao's expression was calm, and he was about to lower his head and pick up a random screen for testing, but soon he heard the sound of "tingling, tingling" electricity coming from above his head.

He couldn't help but be stunned.

He suddenly looked up and saw that the dark screen that had just fallen down suddenly lit up again. The light projected on the screen seemed to light up a lamp in this dark area.

After a moment, a string of mechanical electronic sounds sounded:

[The dungeon is restarting...The dungeon has been restarted.]

[You have entered the game copy "Magic Tower", the number of people in the copy: 0, and the copy level: none.]

【Your identity is...messenger.】

Lu Miao's face suddenly froze, and he subconsciously grabbed the messenger bag at his side.

He was also very familiar with this voice. It was...
