There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 234: Chapter 226: “You will die at the hands of Blue Star player Chen Yi, time unknown.

Although she knew that the death mentioned here meant falling into hell and becoming a Hell Player, not actual death—after all, only dying as a Hell Player is true death—she never wished to become a Hell Player.

Fighting her way back out would be no simple matter.

But…

Ever since she left Chen Yi’s live stream not long ago,

her predicted death for the next entire half-month had only one description!

“You will die at the hands of Blue Star player Chen Yi, time unknown.”

It never changed!

She swore!

She wouldn’t provoke Chen Yi for any reason, absolutely not, things like provocation were out of the question; having no family, there wouldn’t be any revenge plot. So why would she die by Chen Yi’s hand?

There was only one reason!

She was dragged into this by that damn beast!

Someone must have provoked Chen Yi, and then Chen Yi conveniently killed her too!

This kind of death was unclear and extremely unjust.

It made her irritable during this period. She did nothing, so why should she die at Chen Yi’s hand?

“…”

The best friend who was about to say something fell silent for a moment then nodded quite seriously, “It must have been Mr. Sun who dragged you into this. I’ll go with you.”

“That’s what I think too.”

Li Peiqi nodded emphatically, agreeing wholeheartedly.

All her relatives had passed away; the Annihilate Nine Clans skill couldn’t possibly drag her into this, which meant she wasn’t affected by some unknown AOE but was specifically targeted and killed by Chen Yi.

No matter how fearsome, Chen Yi wouldn’t kill without reason; there had to be a causality thread somewhere.

She had to sever all possible causality threads that could involve her before Chen Yi left Newbie Village!

This Mr. Sun was the first one!

Just as she was preparing to leave,

“Thump.”

She suddenly noticed a cell phone had fallen out of the cabinet.

“Hmm?”

Li Peiqi picked up the cell phone subconsciously, wiped the dust off it—it was from seven or eight years ago. After the screen broke back then, she bought a new one, and she had no idea where she had tossed the old one. It unexpectedly fell out today.

On a whim,

she plugged the charger into the cellphone and turned it on. Inside the gallery, she found many photos she took seven or eight years ago and some diary entries.

“Hey, I won’t show you!”

She pushed away her best friend who tried to peek over her shoulder.

“I remember now.”

Her best friend, with mischief sparkling in her eyes and the corners of her mouth turned up, teased, “I recall you were in university then, and you teased a middle school boy, using this phone, didn’t you?”

“Seems like it, indeed.”

Reminded by her best friend, Li Peiqi also recalled such an incident when she met a cute young boy at 14 in a game during her university days.

When gaming, she kept teasing that young boy,

saying things like, “Sister likes you, be my boyfriend, okay?”

and the like.

Later, after switching phones and messaging apps, she forgot about the incident, and a few years later, the realm of games ascended.

She instinctively opened the messaging app on the phone.

“Ding-dong, ding-dong!”

Suddenly, tens of thousands of messages popped up densely!

“Peiqi, today marks the 36th day since you disappeared. I’ve made it to King rank, you’re so bad at this. ”

“…”

“I saved up a month’s allowance and got you a yearly membership. You’ll see it when you log in, huh, I’m so good to you.”

“…”

“The membership’s about to expire, and you haven’t gone online. Did you vanish?”

“…”

“I reported to the police, but they said there wasn’t enough identity information for a case, and they suggested you might be a scammer. I don’t believe it; what scammer has time to play games every day?”

“…”

“Baby, didn’t you tell me to be your boyfriend? I did accept, so why did you disappear all of the sudden?”

“…”

“I’ve been working out recently, already got an eight-pack. Check out my current photo, it’s devastatingly handsome, let me tell you. Many girls chase after me, but I rejected them all; none looks as pretty as you, sister.”

“…”

“Sis, it’s been 721 days since you disappeared; I have no idea where you went. But today, all of a sudden, a voice rang out by everyone’s ears around the world, saying something about the ‘April Rule’ descending and a lot of people dying. Are you safe, sis?”

“…”

“Peiqi, I can’t wait for you anymore. This boss is way too strong; I might die. I’m dying with so much regret, I haven’t found you yet.”

“…”

“Hehe, Peiqi, I’m alive again. I just found out that after dying, you become a Hell Player and there’s a chance to return to Neutron Star. I’m going to keep looking for you.”

“…”

“It’s over, I’m going to die again. The rules of this map are far too twisted. But it’s okay, I should be able to climb out of hell soon, after all, I haven’t found my sister yet.”

This was the last message.

Left from one year and three months ago.

Obviously, the little boy who had been leaving messages on the screen didn’t make it out of hell for the last time.

After reading all the messages, Li Peiqi sat on the edge of her bed, a bit dazed, not knowing what to say.

She was only joking at the time—who would date an underage boy?

During the time she switched accounts, that boy shared what happened every day with her, without fail, until one year and three months ago.

“…”

Sitting next to her on the bed, her best friend couldn’t help her eyes from reddening slightly: “Why haven’t I met such a devoted boy? I would definitely cherish him. Peiqi, you seem to owe quite a big debt of love this time.”

Li Peiqi, after being lost in thought for a while, suddenly snapped back to reality, turned her head to her best friend, and spoke urgently.

“I’ve got it!”

“In the future, I’m bound to meet this boy in hell again, and I’ll be moved by him and end up together with him!”

“But by then, this boy would have already become an enemy to Chen Yi, who casually killed me along with him!”

“Do you think there’s a chance there’s a causal thread where I die at Chen Yi’s hand?”

“Could this boy possibly still be in hell right now, just not able to climb out?”

“…”

Her best friend, moved a moment before, suddenly stiffened, wiping away the tear at the corner of her eye, and spoke expressionlessly with a faint voice: “So you plan to run to Neutron Star’s hell, have this infatuated boy killed, and thus sever a potential love thread that could lead to your death by Chen Yi’s hand?”

“Isn’t that a bit too heartless?”

“No, my point is, we could talk to him, ask him not to provoke Chen Yi in the future, to avoid this causal link.”

“I’ll contact ‘Ghost Exterminators’ right now, to help us find this boy in the Neutron Star’s hell.”

‘Ghost Exterminators’, a special force on Neutron Star!

Its main business includes seeking revenge in hell, searching for people, and so on—basically undertaking only tasks in hell.

The core members of the force are all in hell, with only a few peripheral members taking orders on Neutron Star. This force possesses a special prop, enabling Hell Players to communicate with players in the living world.

The woman in the slip dress sitting on the bed turned to Li Peiqi, who was beginning to be bewildered, couldn’t help but sigh, looking up at the ceiling helplessly.

Sometimes, learning about the way you will die is actually not such good news.

Like Li Peiqi.

Anxious from tens of days ago and still is now.

She just couldn’t figure out how she would end up dying by Chen Yi’s hand.

But… aren’t there many things in the world that don’t make sense?

…

Meanwhile—@@novelbin@@

Chen Yi and his companions had successfully returned to the rooftop.

The hotpot on the rooftop, which was still hot but lighted, hadn’t solidified together; they didn’t really like spicy hotpot, preferring clear oil hotpot instead.

Afterward, the few of them sat on the rooftop, chatting idly.

Until, the time reached eight in the morning.

“Ding, global announcement.”

“The special limited-time event ‘The Founding of the Army Day’ starts at…”

…

ps:

I slacked off for a day yesterday, took a day off the day before.

And yet, no one scolded me, which made me feel much better…

As for comments in the comment section like, talking is as useless as farting, threatening to delete the book and rest, promises about the monthly tickets being as good as farts.

I always take such comments as compliments.

At least it shows that everyone likes reading, hence the outrage. I checked your IPs, and you’re indeed all original residents of Black Trench City.

This hide and seek map was actually due to a lack of inspiration, forcibly produced. I thought everyone would berate the map for being abrupt and boring.

But I only got berated for the update, which makes me feel much better.

I’ll make up with three more chapters today to find a bit of my writing rhythm, and slowly it’ll get better.

Love you all, your little treasure, Wang Xin.

Trojan horse.
