“Ah?” Jiang Shi was stunned. “Wait a moment… Did I hear wrong? Reattach my head for me?”
“That’s right. You’re too headless right now—the visual effect isn’t good.”
“Visual effect…? Have you ever had your head knocked off?”
“Uh…” After hearing this, Chen Junnan thought very seriously for a while, then answered, “Probably never had it knocked off, but it’s been blown up before.”
“How is that the same?” Jiang Shi, who had seemed fearless just moments ago, was actually getting nervous now. He always felt the foolish leader before him wasn’t very reliable.
“You’re already like this…” Chen Junnan held Jiang Shi’s head in his arms, then fumbled in his pocket for a long time and pulled out a black metal hairpin. “This young master figures even if you hurt more, it’ll just be like this… Your wound cross-section doesn’t look like flesh either—it’s no different from a sculpture. I’ll use this little hairpin to skewer your head and body together, just like a dough figurine.”
“Huh…?” After hearing this plan, Jiang Shi first froze, then revealed an expression of disbelief. “That’s not right… This hairpin of yours is so short. Won’t I still lose my head? My head will fall off as soon as I run! And your hairpin is so dirty… it’s covered in mud!”
“That’s still better than you holding your head! Stop talking nonsense!” Chen Junnan reached out to wipe the black mud on the hairpin and directly placed Jiang Shi’s head forward. “Just tell me—reattach it or not?”
“Uh…” Jiang Shi pursed his lips. “Then, then reattach it…”
“This will probably hurt you to death.”
“I already hurt enough now…”
“Alright!” Chen Junnan felt Jiang Shi’s neck fracture surface, which was like withered wood, then picked up the black metal hairpin and suddenly stabbed it down, leaving the sharp tip in there.
“Ow ow ow ow…” Jiang Shi’s head shouted under Chen Junnan’s arm. “Ah, this hurts too much!! Did you stab into my spine?! What if I’m paralyzed?”
“Give me a break…” Chen Junnan helplessly lifted Jiang Shi’s head up. “This young master is really curious—your head has fallen off, so how does the body’s pain sensation transmit to your head?”
“Ah, forget it, forget it…” Chen Junnan was about to lose his ability to understand Jiang Shi’s way of surviving and hurriedly interrupted. “Headless kid! Grit your teeth—this young master is going to put your head back on!”
“Ah! Okay!” Jiang Shi instantly closed his eyes tightly, and his teeth also bit together fiercely.
Chen Junnan took the opportunity to lift Jiang Shi’s head up and with a “snap,” inserted it together.
“Ahhhhhh!!” Jiang Shi widened his eyes and stood in place screaming for a long time. His hands also unconsciously waved everywhere. “Headache, headache, headache!!”
“Uh…”
Seeing Jiang Shi in this state, Chen Junnan naturally couldn’t bear it, but at least he could now free up both hands to move freely. And he looked more like a person than before—no matter what, it counted as some help.
“Kid… are you… okay?”
“I’m fine my ass!!” Jiang Shi shouted. “No no… I mean my head isn’t fine! My head hurts inside!”
Seeing his tears streaming down, Chen Junnan suddenly felt somewhat distressed. Although this was their first meeting, this child had already done well enough.
“Then… should I take it off for you again…?” Chen Junnan said with a bitter smile. “You hold your head and run?”
“Also, also no need…” Jiang Shi gritted his teeth and moved his neck, discovering this hairpin’s length was just right, just able to let his head firmly stick on his body. Apart from his head hurting terribly inside, there weren’t any drawbacks.
Only now, the more he thought about this appearance, the stranger it seemed. He really had become a dough figurine—his broken limbs could actually be inserted together with an iron rod.
“Where’s my treasured sword…” Jiang Shi turned around and bent down to grope on the ground for a while. With this lowering of his head, he almost lost his head again. He hurriedly reached out to support it and grasped Lü Dongbin’s treasured sword magical treasure in his hand to use as a crutch. “This seems about right…”
“Sigh…” Chen Junnan looked at him with a furrowed brow. “Then could you trouble yourself to lock the door, kid?”
“No problem…”
Fortunately, Jiang Shi’s physical constitution was stronger than ordinary children. Now he looked like he could barely move normally. He limped toward the direction Earth-Rabbit had just advanced and locked the door with a “click.”
“What next…” Jiang Shi said. “Where should we…”
“Just follow my signals from now on,” Chen Junnan said in a low voice with a wicked smile. “From now on, as long as I don’t speak, no one can speak.”
“Uh… okay… understood…”
Earth-Rabbit stood in room “Ten,” pricked up his ears to listen carefully, and slowly revealed a solemn expression.
This team was really too strange.
That person who said he wanted to wager with him actually used the tactic of besieging Wei to rescue Zhao. While he was flanking him, that person struck directly at the heart of the matter and revived that unkillable kid.
“Sounds like you also locked the door…” Earth-Rabbit’s ears and nose twitched together, trying his best to capture every movement across the entire venue.
“‘Participants” turn has ended. Please have the ‘Zodiac’ begin actions.”
Earth-Rabbit didn’t hesitate and directly opened room “Six” and walked in. This was the room Chen Junnan had been clamoring about before. Now he only needed one more round to catch up to Chen Junnan and that unkillable kid. Even if the two of them chose to lock the door, one person would definitely be left behind.
“That’s right… you all must die…” Earth-Rabbit said with a smile. “I will… kill you all here…”
Earth-Rabbit’s eyes gradually became vacant, and his mind was instantly filled with thoughts of killing. He always felt there was a strange figure right before his eyes, and his head was full of thoughts about completely tearing him to shreds.
When he came back to his senses, Earth-Rabbit discovered he was actually standing in the center of the room. It seemed he had just experienced an illusion that was difficult to detect.
“What’s going on…?” Earth-Rabbit doubtfully touched his own head.
Had he just… zoned out?
The “Zodiac’s” turn ended, and the “Participants'” turn began.
Just as Earth-Rabbit felt he had victory in his grasp, a figure flashed at an open door on the north side of the room. A capable figure with braids on his head actively walked in, closed the door behind him, and quietly stood before him.
“You…”
“My name is Song Qi,” that person said. “This name can guarantee that the two of us will have a fair duel in the ‘Land of End,’ and before we determine victory or defeat, no one will come to interfere.”
“What are you doing…?” Earth-Rabbit really didn’t quite understand. In the past, at any time, everyone in this game would only think of ways to stay far away from him. This was the first time in so many years he had seen someone walk before him to actively hunt him. “How did you get here?”
“It’s my turn, right?” Song Qi looked at Earth-Rabbit with a serious expression. “I move first?”
Although Earth-Rabbit saw Song Qi was far from him and felt somewhat uneasy, he really wasn’t afraid. He just looked at the man before him with slight curiosity, cautiously thinking about the attack methods the other party might use.
“Then I won’t be polite.” Song Qi pulled out a small pebble from his pocket, rubbed it a few times with his thumb, then gently tossed it in Earth-Rabbit’s direction.
Earth-Rabbit wasn’t foolish. He knew the stone this man had thrown last time didn’t stir up any waves, but this time the two of them were in the same room. Every move was related to both parties’ life and death. He absolutely couldn’t be bluffing again, so he hurriedly retreated a step and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
“Could it be ‘Exhaustion’…?” Earth-Rabbit stared tightly at this small stone, but never expected that stone would suddenly flash with electric sparks in mid-air.
“Not good…!”
Before Earth-Rabbit could cry out, that stone landed on his forearm, and along with the flash of fire, burst out with a blast of scorching high temperature.
“BOOM!!”
A heat wave swept through the entire room. An explosion, neither too big nor too small, burst out on Earth-Rabbit’s hand, blasting his entire body away. Like how Jiang Shi had been sent flying earlier, he crashed against the wall.
