Chapter 0010: Self-Contradiction

The death of the woman in the same group as the burly man No. 7 did not come as a surprise to Song Qing, as it was only a matter of time before the man, upon discovering the rules, would kill the woman in the red dress in his quest to find an exit and survive

After the death of Number 7, she is the only remaining survivor

This person, whom Song Qingxiao considered quite tricky, difficult to deal with, and dangerous, has actually died

In the absence of weapons, it is difficult for both parties to lose their lives simultaneously in a barehanded fight

The death of the fifth young man was something that Song Qingxiao had anticipated. Although he was young, he left a rather simple impression on Song Qingxiao during their time together. It is not surprising that he fell into the hands of someone like Zhou Jing, who possesses considerable social and life experience, as well as cunning and means.

The various behaviors of the doctor demonstrate that he is not a clever person devoid of personal desires. However, it is quite intriguing that such a person, who is resourceful, ambitious, and strategic, has not yet targeted professional women at this moment.

However, if the two individuals join forces, they will have a chance of victory

She was previously occupied with transporting the bodies, cleaning up the scene, and guarding against potential ambushes from those nearby, which prevented her from promptly noticing the order of death between Zhou Jing and the youth. The cause of Zhou Jing's death could only be inferred through her speculation

It is unclear how much time has passed, but due to her extreme tension, Song Qingxiao faintly heard the sound of rustling from the grass outside, which heightened her vigilance. Cold sweat poured from her forehead, back, and the nape of her neck, and her toes involuntarily curled up. She bit her lower lip tightly, striving to calm herself, while the sound of her rapid, shallow breaths echoed slightly in the tank, accompanied by the chaotic pounding of her heart.

If the doctor wishes to leave the space, she will eventually be found

During the brief period of prior interaction, when Zhou Jing sought to assert his dominance and establish absolute authority among the group, the others were, to varying degrees, unconvinced. The doctor did not hastily refute him; instead, he approached the matter subtly, raising issues such as the loss of control over mobile phones and watches, quietly taking charge of the situation.

Zhou Jing's death may have two causes. One is that two individuals in the team simultaneously discovered changes in the hints related to the cards in their consciousness, leading them to speculate on a method to escape the space. This resulted in mutual intent to kill each other, and during the process of attempting to kill one another, both individuals became aware of each other's intentions, ultimately leading to a mutual destruction in their struggle.

What surprised Song Qing the most was the death of Zhou Jing and the fact that the number two professional woman in the same group as the doctor was still alive

After discerning the intentions of the game, does the doctor still uphold moral principles and maintain noble conduct

Another possibility is that after Zhou Jing or one of the youths emerges victorious, they may be ambushed by members of other groups while in a weakened state

Song Qingxiao bit her lower lip tightly. Including her, there were a total of four survivors in the space. She hid herself, certain that the burly man would inevitably meet his end at the hands of the other two.

Prior to this, she did not know the doctor, and her understanding of the doctor was solely based on their brief interactions in the previous space

He was strong in build, and it would not be difficult for him to kill the woman in the red dress. Ironically, at that moment, the woman in the red dress was overjoyed at the thought of being in the same group as Number 7 in this unfamiliar space, believing that Number 7's tall and robust physique would provide her with a sense of security. Little did she know that this talisman could also become her death warrant

Sitting in the large vat, Song Qingxiao hugged her knees tightly, trying to remain calm and clarify the clues in her mind. She was frail and, among the few survivors, the most slender, making her the most vulnerable.

Song Qing held her breath and furrowed her delicate brows

Upon thinking of this, Song Qing's body instinctively shivered, and the water in the tank rippled slightly. Whether it was due to the overly quiet environment or her own excessive nervousness, she heard the water gently swaying, producing a soft sound as it struck the walls of the tank

In her initial speculation, the doctor is a clever individual, cautious and possessing a strong sense of observation. Upon realizing that this game may progress through mutual destruction, the professional woman should be considered extremely dangerous

No. 9

When everyone was in a state of panic and helplessness, having lost their central figure, he established his position and subsequently commanded the obedience of all to his arrangements

While Song Qing was still pondering this matter in her mind, the cards in her consciousness underwent another change

She held her phone in one hand and tightly gripped the mouse cable with the other. The cold water in the tank brought waves of shivering chill, and at that moment, the footsteps grew louder; it was indeed not her imagination. The voice of the second professional woman rang out:

The card in the bottom left corner was turned over, revealing the smiling face of a burly man with the number 7 on it

In this regard, the actions of the doctor are undoubtedly far superior to those of Zhou Jing.

No, this is not possible

In terms of height and physical ability, the former far exceeds that of the doctor and the professional woman. If these two were to engage in a one-on-one confrontation, it would not be easy for them to defeat No. 7.

It seems that her initial speculation was indeed true. For some unknown reason, the doctor did not kill the woman in red; instead, they reached some kind of agreement and engaged in close cooperation, which led to the elimination of the seventh man from the competition.

Everyone is aware that in such an alternate space, having the power of discourse and being in a dominant position brings one an additional advantage

The person who killed the survivors in Zhou Jing's team may be the doctor and the second woman, or it could also be the burly man

The location she occupies is not entirely confidential. When the first girl was still alive, she screamed several times; although there was no response from others, it still left a potential risk

This sound, at this moment, seems to be like a call from the demons of hell

Either the second female professional realized the danger posed by the doctor and escaped in advance, hiding in a place like she did herself

After such a thought emerged in Song Qing's mind, he quickly dismissed it.

However, in such an environment, danger lurks everywhere, especially when one becomes the prey and others turn into hunters. A woman alone is undoubtedly in a very perilous situation

This will not do! She immediately became alert, tightening her legs even more. It was not easy to suppress the instinctive tremors of her body; she exerted great effort to control herself, even her breathing was cautious.

If the survivors in Zhou Jing's team died from ambushes by others, then it proves that the places in this space are interconnected, and it is merely a matter of time before others find her

The likelihood of this is quite low. Although this game provides everyone with a "prop" to hold onto when entering the space, very few people are as fortunate as Song Qingxiao to be able to grasp a weapon such as a dagger.

A slight oversight could cost her her life

As Song Qingxiao thought of this, her whole body tensed up, and the dagger hidden in her sleeve pierced through her clothing, embedding itself into her flesh. The pain slightly awakened some of her rationality, yet it caused her blood to flow even more urgently.

As of now, five out of nine individuals have died. Among the four teams, three have encountered incidents, and one team has lost all its members. Yet, the woman in red remains alive, which is quite peculiar
