As his body was slowly dragged into the wall, Luocha felt both anxious and furious.
If he had known, he would never have teamed up with Arataki Itto.
This guy was way too unreliable.
He had chosen Itto because, at critical moments, Itto would stand in front and protect his teammates.
He was responsible and courageous.
But Luocha had overlooked one thing—
Itto's personality was reckless and impulsive.
He was extremely easy to fool.
Originally, with himself watching over things, Luocha didn't think it would be a problem.
At worst, he could just remind Itto when something seemed wrong.
But now, valerius had targeted him first.
In an instant, he was trapped in a hopeless situation.
"Another point!"
"You think… if we win this time, how many points can we get as rewards?"
"Mmmph…"
"Should we share some with the people who got eliminated first? They don't seem to have many points."
"Mmmph…"
"Yeah, let's share. After all, we're a team."
Silence.
While Itto was imagining their future, Luocha was finally dragged completely into the wall.
"Why aren't you talking?"
Just then, the system announcement rang out.
[Attention—Player Luocha has been eliminated!]
"Huh?"
Itto froze.
Then he suddenly turned around.
There was no sign of Luocha behind him anymore.
Only a black human-shaped shadow remained on the wall.
"Luocha… how did you get eliminated?"
He truly didn't understand.
They had been chatting just moments ago.
How did Luocha suddenly get eliminated?
He hadn't even seen valerius!
"Gasp—!"
A chill ran down Itto's spine.
Eliminated silently and invisibly…
That was terrifying.
Livestream
[Serval: Heh, this Itto is something—still thinking about sharing points.]
[Sampo: I'm willing to share points, but I'm not willing to save Luocha.]
[Stelle: Luocha's about to call the police.]
[Xingqiu: Great, the first punished player is confirmed. Who's next?]
[Chongyun: Isn't it Itto?]
[Ningguang: He still has a skill card. Won't be easy to deal with.]
[Yukong: With points and a skill card, he should be relatively safe.]
[Yae Miko: Not necessarily.]
[Jing Yuan: Let's see. I'm curious how they'll be eliminated.]
[Seele: You've already decided everyone will lose?]
[Ruan Mei: Of course.]
[Herta: Definitely.]
After eliminating Luocha, valerius calmly headed elsewhere.
He could try to deal with Itto now.
But he didn't feel it was safe.
From Lumine, he already knew that Itto had the Cute Voice Fist.
If that guy reacted in time, things would get troublesome.
valerius definitely didn't want to be hit by that again.
His gaze landed on a faint mark in the corner.
"There are still two people over there… let's take a look."
Following the mark, he chased after it.
"Two elimination slots tonight. I can still take out one more."
After turning several corners, he arrived at the ballroom.
"They're hiding here?"
valerius was surprised.
The ballroom had a serious time distortion.
Staying inside meant wasting a lot of time.
"Let's see who it is."
He quietly approached and slipped into the wall.
In a secluded corner of the ballroom.
"Are you sure this will work?" Jingliu whispered.
Bronya and Jingliu were crouched there, well hidden.
"It should," Bronya replied after thinking for a moment.
"valerius probably won't expect us to come here voluntarily."
"Maybe."
Jingliu didn't comment much.
"Even if he comes, as long as we stall him for a while, we'll buy time for the others."
The time flow here was abnormal.
If valerius arrived, she would try her best to delay him.
"That's true."
Jingliu realized Bronya's plan.
As she said, this place could delay valerius as much as possible.
As long as someone survived until the end, they would all win.
She now regretted giving away the Cute Voice Fist.
If she still had that skill, she could resist.
At the very least, she could freeze valerius for three minutes.
Three minutes here meant an hour outside.
If she did that a few times, the night would pass.
Thinking of this, Jingliu felt even more regretful.
Giving the card to Itto had been a mistake.
Now Luocha was gone, and Itto probably wouldn't survive either.
The skill card was basically lost.
"Good evening."
valerius's voice suddenly sounded beside them.
Whoosh!
Jingliu reacted instantly and jumped far away.
Bronya, however, froze.
She stiffly turned her head and met valerius's gaze.
Seeing her stunned expression, valerius chuckled and stepped out of the wall.
"What? Scared silly?"
He flicked her forehead lightly.
Only then did Bronya react.
She hurriedly stepped back and stood beside Jingliu.
"Tonight, I'm only eliminating two people. Luocha is already out."
"So… which one of you will it be?"
He looked at them leisurely.
The meaning was clear:
Choose one.

[Sparkle: Wow~ still trying to sow discord at this time?]
[Seele: Jingliu will definitely be eliminated.]
[Jing Yuan: ...…]
[Yanqing: Don't fall for it so easily!]
[Herta: valerius is really cruel. How are they supposed to choose?]
[Serval: Bronya won't fall for it, right?]
Hearing valerius's words, both girls froze.
Then their faces darkened.
Do you even have a conscience?
He wanted them to sacrifice each other.
"You go first. I'll hold him back."
With the situation clear, Bronya stepped forward decisively.
She gestured for Jingliu to leave.
"I'm weaker than you. Staying is useless."
"Alright."
Jingliu didn't hesitate.
Staying wouldn't help.
Better let one person live.
She turned and ran toward the exit.
"Oh? You're sacrificing yourself?"
valerius looked surprised.
He hadn't expected Bronya to do this.
"Hmph. You might not even catch me."
Seeing Jingliu already leaving the ballroom, a sly glint flashed in Bronya's eyes.
She leaned forward and rushed at valerius.
"Watch my Cute Voice Fist!"
"Beat you! Beat you! Beat you!"
"Uh… what?"
valerius froze.
What was this?
Cute Voice Fist?
She hadn't even activated a skill!
"This girl…"
valerius burst out laughing.
"She's trying to bluff me?"
