Countless stones scattered everywhere.

Xiaoxiao flew out like a bullet in a straight line. Since everyone was currently standing on the rooftop with no buildings blocking the surroundings, Xiaoxiao crossed over more than a dozen low buildings before crashing heavily onto a street in the far distance.

With such severe injuries, it was impossible for anyone to survive.

“How fierce…” Qiao Jiajin nodded.

He had thought Zhang Shan would continue to kill Old Sun, but instead he began breathing heavily.

“Hey, big guy… you alright?”

Zhang Shan’s chest rose and fell continuously. Before long, the sound of a bell rang out again in the distance.

The “Echo” disappeared.

“I’m fine… just a bit tired…” He smiled bitterly and said, “Seems I used a bit too much force.”

“No problem, leave the rest to me.”

Now only Old Sun remained as an enemy on the bridge.

“You, you two…” Old Sun knew he couldn’t possibly fight these two no matter what. Now that his “Echo” was ineffective, what chance did he have of winning?

“Stone man, why didn’t you give that big woman stones just now?” Qiao Jiajin asked.

“What?” Old Sun was startled.

“Just now, the big guy and I couldn’t move… the big woman had a chance to kill us.” Qiao Jiajin smiled slightly. “But you didn’t give her stones.”

“Xiaoxiao asked me for stones and I didn’t give them to her?” Old Sun frowned. “How did that happen… no, that can’t be right…”

“You’re not a bad person. I don’t plan to kill you.” Qiao Jiajin moved his neck and asked, “Your boss is dead. Don’t you plan to switch docks?”

“Switch… docks?” Old Sun frowned. “Buddy… do you know what you’re saying?”

“Maybe I’ve said too much.” Qiao Jiajin nodded. “You look quite capable, and your mind seems normal enough, yet you insist on following a bunch of lunatics…”

After hearing this, Old Sun slowly lowered his head and said, “Our ultimate goals conflict. Even if I joined ‘Heaven’s Mouth,’ I couldn’t possibly work for you.”

“It’s not about joining ‘Heaven’s Mouth.'” Qiao Jiajin shook his head. “It’s about joining me.”

“Joining… you?”

Zhang Shan on the side was also slightly stunned when he heard this.

“Stone man, I’m not joking with you.” Qiao Jiajin said to Old Sun. “The Liar can’t succeed with just me alone. He needs manpower.”

“This…”

After hearing this, Old Sun silently lowered his head in thought. He neither agreed nor refused.

“No rush, take your time to consider.” Qiao Jiajin said. “Go ahead and leave. The game is already over. No need to die here.”

After hearing this, Old Sun looked at Qiao Jiajin, then at Zhang Shan, then nodded and turned to walk down from the bridge.

Seeing Old Sun leave, Zhang Shan also asked from the side, “Qiao Jiajin… what do you mean?”

“What do you mean ‘what do I mean’?” Qiao Jiajin asked.

“If they join us, doesn’t that mean joining ‘Heaven’s Mouth’?” Zhang Shan looked completely puzzled. “Are you and Qi Xia planning to leave the organization?”

“I don’t know.” Qiao Jiajin said. “I never said I would join ‘Heaven’s Mouth.’ I only said I would cooperate with The Liar. If he stays, I stay. If he leaves, I leave.”

Zhang Shan’s expression gradually grew serious.

He knew that Qiao Jiajin and Qi Xia were rare talents. The two of them were more suited to staying in “Heaven’s Mouth” than anyone else.

Now that Qiao Jiajin had obtained such a powerful “Echo”… could they let them go?

“Big guy, let’s go touch the flag.” Qiao Jiajin said. “This game is about to end.”

Zhang Shan collected his thoughts and nodded. According to the rules, the game could only end when all surviving members of one side had crossed the single-log bridge and simultaneously touched the opposing side’s flag.

“Let’s go.”

Zhang Shan followed Qiao Jiajin, and the two came together to the other side of the bridge.

Old Sun had already entered the elevator and left this place. No one could stop them anymore.

But when the two simultaneously grasped the flag with their hands, Earth-Tiger in the distance showed no reaction.

“Hey!” Zhang Shan waited for a while, then called out loudly, “This should be enough, right?”

Earth-Tiger looked coldly at the two but still said nothing.

“What’s going on…?” Qiao Jiajin was also a bit dazed. “Does this count as winning?”

“Something’s wrong…” Zhang Shan frowned. “If everything is proceeding according to the rules, but the game hasn’t ended… it can only mean we still have teammates alive!”

“Kung Fu Girl?!”

Qiao Jiajin also suddenly thought of something. If Xiaoxiao falling into the void and being able to return to the bridge wasn’t a type of “Echo,” it could only mean that falling into the void in this game wouldn’t result in death.

Xiaoxiao had climbed up by her own ability.

The numerous hemp ropes below could reduce falling speed, allowing people to survive upon landing.

The two thought of this simultaneously and raised their eyes to look at each other.

“This is bad…” Qiao Jiajin thought for a moment. Li Xiangling had fallen into the void together with that man called Luo Shiyi.

And Luo Shiyi should be the most ruthless and vicious of those three people.

“Big guy, you wait here.” Qiao Jiajin returned to the bridge once more.

“What are you going to do?” Zhang Shan asked.

“I have to go down and look!” Qiao Jiajin said. “If we just leave it alone, Kung Fu Girl might be beaten to death by that cheating scum.”

“But how will you get down…?”

“I’ll jump down.” Qiao Jiajin said.

“Jump…” Zhang Shan was startled. “What if you fall to your death?!”

“That big woman climbed back up with one crippled leg—how could I possibly fall to my death?”

Zhang Shan wanted to say something more, but realized there was no other solution at this point.

Now there were only two ways to win the game—

One, Li Xiangling crosses the bridge. Two, Li Xiangling dies.

If they really had to choose at this moment, which would an ordinary person choose?

Qiao Jiajin’s actions had already proven everything.

“Then… be careful yourself.” Zhang Shan said.

Qiao Jiajin nodded, then looked down at the void beneath his feet.

The stone that had pressed on Zhang Shan earlier had fallen down, breaking many hemp ropes. Jumping down now would be quite dangerous.

But no matter what, he couldn’t let his teammate be beaten to death by the opposing side.

“I don’t want to lose any more teammates in games.” The image of Tiantian slashing her own throat flashed through Qiao Jiajin’s mind. “That feeling made me far too sad.”

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and leaped into the deep pit without hesitation.

Zhang Shan came anxiously to the edge of the pit and looked down, only to discover Qiao Jiajin was like a monkey.

He hadn’t fallen directly down. Instead, his hands grabbed a hemp rope and hung there.

After determining his descent route, he swung his body and flew toward another rope.

Just like that, his figure moved from one rope to another, descending meter by meter.

Only after Qiao Jiajin’s figure completely disappeared did Zhang Shan slowly breathe a sigh of relief.

“What a young man who loves to show off…” He shook his head helplessly.
