“Are you fucking toying with us?!” Qiao Jiajin grabbed Man-Dragon’s collar in one motion, using tremendous force.

“How could that be?” Man-Dragon shook his head. “I already said this game was ‘Seesaw.’ Why did you turn on each other? Hahahaha!”

Qiao Jiajin instantly knocked him down, then fiercely punched him in the face.

“What the hell are you spouting?” Qiao Jiajin said through gritted teeth. “Since it’s a ‘Seesaw,’ how could we possibly maintain stability the whole time? Even if one person moved a single step, our balance would be broken! This was a game destined to have deaths! You clearly killed people, yet you’re still here speaking sarcastically?”

Man-Dragon took the punch but laughed even louder.

“But he’s the one who killed them!” Man-Dragon laughed loudly. “I’m not the killer! It’s him!!”

While laughing maniacally, Man-Dragon pointed at Qi Xia. “He’s a big liar! He deceived you!! Who was the first to propose ‘getting lighter’?! Hahahaha!!”

“You’re still sowing discord…” Qiao Jiajin moved his palm viciously, slowly gripping Man-Dragon’s neck. “Are you people really going to force me to kill…”

Man-Dragon’s strength was completely like that of an ordinary person. After struggling a few times and finding he couldn’t break free, he revealed a smile again and shouted with difficulty, “Haha… killing the judge… killing the judge…”

Hearing this, Yun Yao quickly stepped forward and pulled him away. “Qiao Jiajin… no!! You’ll attract upper-level figures!!”

Qiao Jiajin paused slightly at these words. “Upper-level figures?”

“She’s right.” Qi Xia nodded expressionlessly. “Qiao Jiajin, let go.”

“Liar, you…” Qiao Jiajin stared blankly at Qi Xia, not knowing what he was thinking.

“What… not killing me anymore?” Man-Dragon said with a smile while lying on the ground. “Use a bit more force… I’ll die soon…”

Qi Xia looked at Man-Dragon with a normal expression, then turned back indifferently and said, “Let’s go…”

“Liar… what are you doing?” Qiao Jiajin asked.

“Nothing. The game is just over. It’s time to leave.”

Qiao Jiajin looked extremely sad. He gritted his teeth and walked back into the room they’d been in, picking up Tiantian’s corpse from the ground. Her face was deathly pale, and her body had become very light.

“Don’t be afraid anymore, beautiful lady. I’ll take you with me.”

The three people ignored Man-Dragon lying on the ground. Just as they were about to leave the corridor, they suddenly heard faint coughing sounds coming from the other iron door.

“Someone’s still alive?” Yun Yao was stunned and looked toward that iron door.

Qi Xia thought briefly. Earlier, the opposing room had fallen into the fire for twenty or thirty seconds. There was indeed a possibility of survival, but what should they do now…?

“I’ll go check.” Yun Yao decisively stepped forward. “We’re the ones who caused them to end up like this in the first place. If they’re left here, they’ll definitely die.”

After speaking, she knocked on the door. “Is anyone there?”

The iron door was very hot. There was no movement inside at all.

At this moment, a series of crisp footsteps came from the other end of the corridor. When everyone turned to look, they couldn’t help but be startled.

It was another “Man-Dragon.”

She walked with graceful steps—it should be a woman.

The female Man-Dragon walked to the male Man-Dragon lying on the ground, reached out to help him up, then turned back to the group and said, “Do you want to open the door? I can help you.”

Qi Xia and Qiao Jiajin stared at them without speaking.

As far as they could recall, this was the first time two “Zodiacs” had appeared standing together at the same time. Moreover, they were both “Dragons,” which felt very ominous.

“Open the door.” Yun Yao came back to her senses and said. “I want to take them back.”

“Hehe…” The female Man-Dragon smiled slightly. “As you wish.”

She waved her hand lightly, and the other iron door opened as well.

A wave of terrifying heat emanated from inside, followed by a pungent smell of burning.

“Cough, cough… cough…”

Coughing sounds continuously came from inside the door, making Qi Xia’s heart jump.

He seemed to have heard this voice somewhere before.

“No… it can’t be…” Qi Xia’s eyes widened. He stumbled forward to stand at the room’s entrance.

Yun Yao and Qiao Jiajin also felt something was wrong and approached the room one after another.

Inside the room, half of Officer Li’s body was burned beyond recognition. His left hand had already been cut off, and he was now trembling as he used his right hand to fumble for something in his pocket.

No wonder after their first time falling into the flames, the room had begun to slowly rise.

Officer Li had cut off his own hand. He was also bleeding.

It was just that his bleeding speed was far slower than Tiantian’s.

“Why… why?”

Qi Xia’s pupils trembled. Beside Officer Li lay three corpses that had long since burned to death.

Their clothes had been burned and fused with their skin, which had accelerated their deaths.

The reason Officer Li could survive until now was very likely because he had taken off his shirt.

Qi Xia had calculated everything, but never calculated that Officer Li was on the opposite side.

“Qi… Xia…?” Officer Li’s voice sounded completely hoarse. “Thank… goodness, come quickly…”

A tremendous bell sound rang out at this moment. What was meant to come would eventually come.

Qi Xia slowly walked to Officer Li’s side and crouched down.

His head throbbed with pain because he saw three “Dao” placed beside Officer Li.

And Officer Li continued fumbling in his pocket.

Why?

Why was Officer Li in the opposing room?

Who had teamed up with him?

Were Lin Qin, Lawyer Zhang, and Han Yimo here?

“Three ‘Dao’… look… I’ve already taken out three ‘Dao’…” Officer Li said with a strained smile. “There’s hope… just wait a bit longer…”

“I’m not in a hurry… Officer Li… I’m not in a hurry…” Qi Xia bit his lip, looking at the three “Dao” on the ground with an extremely despairing expression.

Officer Li had originally had three “Dao.”

In other words, he hadn’t “produced” a single one.

“Qi Xia… I’ll get everyone out… no one needs to die…” He continued fumbling in his pocket, but tears had already begun streaming from his eyes.

That pocket was empty.

He was clearer about this than anyone.

Why was the pocket empty?

“I believe you, Officer Li.” Qi Xia said in a low voice. “Don’t feel pressured…”

Officer Li fumbled for a long time and also cried for a long time.

“I…” Blood slowly flowed from Officer Li’s eyes, mixing with his tears. It seemed his eyes had also been burned.

After a long while, this tall man finally choked out, “Qi Xia, I’m sorry… I might not be able to do it…”

Officer Li was really leaving.

His eyes lost focus, and for the last time, he reached his hand into his pocket.

Qi Xia covered his forehead, not knowing how to handle the situation that would follow.

He could watch others die without warning, but he didn’t want to see a good person show an expression of despair.

Officer Li reached in and fumbled randomly, then revealed a shocked expression.

He forcefully squeezed out a smile and tremblingly pulled out his hand, turning it over to show Qi Xia. Sure enough, there was a “Dao” in his hand.

“Look… Qi Xia… look…” he said hoarsely. “It’s possible… I can do it… this method works… no one needs to die…”

Before Qi Xia could take that “Dao,” Officer Li suddenly spurted out a large amount of blood, then his entire body convulsed violently and his hand dropped to the ground.

The bell rang again. He was gone.

Qi Xia’s expression was extremely complex.

He looked at that extra “Dao” and couldn’t calm down for a long time.

Could Officer Li really produce “Dao” from thin air?

He subconsciously felt his own pocket.

And revealed a despairing smile.

The “Dao” that Officer Li had given him earlier was no longer in his pocket.
