“Even if you’re truly as you say… able to be immortal and indestructible, so what?” Earth-Rabbit lowered his head and looked at the head in Jiang Shi’s hand as he asked, “I’ll go kill your teammates one by one right now… What can you do to me dragging that wrecked body of yours?”
“You…” Hearing these words, Jiang Shi finally showed a trace of panic. “You rabbit demon, aren’t you being too presumptuous? Isn’t this the rule of your game? Yet you’re in this room but haven’t killed me… Isn’t that breaking the rules?”
“Breaking rules…?” Earth-Rabbit shook his head. “I never said I must kill everyone in the room. What I said was ‘I will take action directly.'”
“‘Take action’…?”
“Now I’ve already taken action, and you’ve become neither human nor ghost.” Earth-Rabbit slowly walked forward a few steps and stood shoulder to shoulder with the short Jiang Shi. “Your head fell off, your legs broke—what else are you going to do? If you have the ability, come kill me. Otherwise, I’ll go kill others.”
Jiang Shi’s lips trembled slightly. This was the first time someone had disregarded him so completely.
But the “Zodiac’s” game was ultimately not “Cat’s” battlefield. These “Zodiacs,” who were even more monster-like than himself, only followed their own game rules. Most of the time, “Zodiacs” didn’t determine “life and death,” but rather “victory and defeat.” As long as everything was within the rules, whatever Earth-Rabbit did was reasonable.
Earth-Rabbit slowly walked forward a few more steps, arriving at the door and facing Chen Junnan through it.
At this moment, a bead of cold sweat slowly trickled down Chen Junnan’s forehead. What came next was probably the most difficult situation for everyone to handle. Earth-Rabbit was no longer bothering with Jiang Shi in the room—he would officially begin the chase in the next round.
“Are you going to lock the door?” Earth-Rabbit said. “There are so many of you… Aren’t you going to lock the door to block me?”
Chen Junnan frowned and pondered for a moment. At this very moment, “locking the door” was indeed the absolutely correct choice. Otherwise, in the next round, Earth-Rabbit could move twice directly and catch up with everyone fleeing for their lives.
But once someone chose to “lock the door,” that person couldn’t move this round. In the next round, Earth-Rabbit would execute “unlock” and “open door” actions, and his chances of survival would still be very low.
Considering everything comprehensively, they should abandon one teammate this round and have him “lock the door.”
Just as Chen Junnan was feeling uncertain, he saw Jiang Shi slowly shuffle behind Earth-Rabbit while holding the treasured sword in his hand. Before Earth-Rabbit had time to react, he reached out and resolutely swung it down.
“Swoosh!”
“Ah!” Earth-Rabbit screamed miserably, then suddenly turned his head and casually swung his hand, sending Jiang Shi flying.
The treasured sword and head also flew in two different directions. If everyone hadn’t seen it clearly, anyone would have thought Jiang Shi was the one injured this time.
Unfortunately, Jiang Shi only swung with one hand, and being so young, plus with such an obvious difference in their builds, this sneak attack merely cut open the suit on Earth-Rabbit’s back, leaving only a shallow blood mark on his body.
“Kid… I stopped dealing with you but you still seek death…?” Earth-Rabbit walked forward furiously, not knowing whether to question the head or the body, and could only stand between these two things.
“Cough cough…” Jiang Shi’s head continued coughing twice. His head and body seemed to have a strange connection. Although they were now far apart, every reaction on his body would affect his head. “Rabbit demon, I said I seek death… If you don’t kill me today… I’ll chase you with the treasured sword and keep hacking…”
Earth-Rabbit sneered coldly and walked toward Jiang Shi’s body. “Now without your ‘protective magical treasure’… what else can you do?”
As soon as his words fell, he lifted his foot and stomped viciously on Jiang Shi’s broken knee.
“Ahhhhh!!”
Jiang Shi’s tender voice let out a tragic scream from the ground until his throat became somewhat hoarse.
“That’s what you get for not behaving!” Earth-Rabbit stomped on Jiang Shi’s knee as if stamping out a cigarette butt on the ground. “You want to die… I’ll make you wish you were dead…”
“Hey!!” Chen Junnan’s expression instantly changed somewhat, wanting to step forward and have a proper discussion with the Earth-Rabbit before him.
“What?” Earth-Rabbit turned his head and sneered coldly at Chen Junnan. Whenever he sneered coldly, two yellowed rabbit teeth protruded from his mouth, looking truly disgusting. “You… feel sorry for your teammate now?”
Chen Junnan’s brow furrowed. “We’re human after all, and you’re currently torturing a child… If this young master turned into a muscular, ruthless, cold-blooded spicy rabbit head, I probably wouldn’t feel sorry either.”
“What did you say…?”
“Let that child go and come kill me,” Chen Junnan forced out a trace of a smile. “I’m much easier to kill than him…”
“Oh…?” Earth-Rabbit once again forcefully stomped on Jiang Shi’s knee. Only after confirming he completely couldn’t stand up did he turn back and come before Chen Junnan. “Do you know how much I want to kill you?”
Before responding, Chen Junnan turned his head to look at Jiang Shi’s head and found the child was almost fainting from pain.
“Of course I know… I’ve always been the most punchable character on this land…” Chen Junnan gave a dry laugh through the door frame. “Can this young master… directly walk in now and let you kill me?”
“Unfortunately, no…” Earth-Rabbit shook his head as if in difficulty. “This isn’t your turn… If you appear in another room… that would be breaking the rules…”
“Oh…?” After hearing this, Chen Junnan once again revealed a trace of a cold sneer, then reached out to pick his ear. “This young master’s ears might have diarrhea—I’m not hearing very clearly today…”
“What?”
“As long as it’s not one’s own turn… but moves to another room… that’s breaking the rules?”
“That’s right.” Earth-Rabbit nodded. “Is there anything unclear about this rule?”
“That’s really crystal clear…” Chen Junnan moved forward half a step, getting even closer to Earth-Rabbit’s direction. “But this young master has one more matter—I want to discuss something on behalf of a friend.”
“Discuss something?”
“Yes.” Chen Junnan hung a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth. “Big Brother Rabbit Bastard, do you want to ‘rebel’?”
Hearing Chen Junnan’s words, Earth-Rabbit’s head first trembled slightly, then his expression changed, and finally he forced out a smile.
“You’re saying… have me ‘rebel’?” He slowly opened his three-part mouth, revealing yellowed rabbit teeth. “Ha… haha, ridiculous.”
“What are you laughing at?”
Earth-Rabbit shook his head, staring at Chen Junnan’s eyes with a pair of cold red eyes. “This should count as ‘negotiating terms,’ right?”
“About that.” Chen Junnan nodded. “To be precise, this young master’s friend wants to negotiate terms with you.”
“I’ve never seen such an unequal negotiation.” Earth-Rabbit stepped back, took off his clean black suit, revealing the close-fitting dark blue shirt underneath, displaying the muscle contours all over his body. “If I haven’t miscalculated… in two or three minutes, you’ll all be beaten to death by me. At this time, you thought of ‘negotiation’?”
“Oh? So that’s what you think?” Chen Junnan asked an ambiguous counter-question. “No wonder you find it laughable.”
