Chapter 358

"You don't seem to have rested well. Are you alright?" Joan looked at Shi Li with some concern.

Yesterday, Shi Li should have been allowed to rest so she could sleep better, but she didn't refuse Yan Sen's offer, and the others naturally didn't say they were too busy.

At this point, Shili's exhaustion was to be expected.

Shi Li waved her hand, indicating that it was time not to ask such pointless questions.

Yesterday was incredibly exhausting; my brain was practically unresponsive, and Jensen still wasn't satisfied.

Even now, Shi Li deliberately keeps a distance of one Joan from Yan Sen.

However, Jensen seemed to keep his promise and did not tell anyone else that the two brothers had come last night.

If the other beastmen knew about that love letter.

Is that okay?

Her bed would be destroyed!

As agreed, Yan Jing also brought Belon's things.

When Shi Li opened her eyes again, she found herself alone in a large hall.

There are many doors around.

Looking around, she realized that she wasn't alone; Ruixin was there too.

Their eyes met, and Shi Li took a few steps back warily.

He immediately used his supernatural power to condense an ice spike in his hand, even though it might not pose any threat to Ruixin at all.

However, Shi Li also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems their abilities haven't been restricted yet.

At worst, she can simply rewind to before the competition even started and quit.

Everyone is right, nothing is more important than life.

Or simply end it all with an ice pick and withdraw from the competition.

Shi Li thought about many things, but Rui Xin on the other side did not make any move.

Seems to be waiting for something.

Welcome to the virtual space. Please choose the correct room door to reach a safe place where your teammates are waiting for you.

If the team fails to escape in the first phase, the match is considered lost.

Shi Li was stunned. So she was the chosen one who would decide the fate of the team?
What kind of ridiculous selection criteria are these?!
Let her choose here!
"There are no clues here. Is it all just luck?" With Ruixin as the only option left, Shi Li had no other choice.

After all, if one person finds the exit first, the other person can follow.

This is on the premise that the other person is still alive.

"I guess there are different traps or mechanisms behind the door, or something else."

“If the system rules should clearly state that the door can only be opened once, then it means that it can be opened multiple times by default.” Ruixin’s words made a lot of sense.

But if that's the case, wouldn't it be too dangerous and unstable? Who knows what's behind the door?

Before Shi Li could reply, Rui Xin touched a doorknob first.

"Hey! You're already here?" Before Shi Li could finish speaking, Rui Xin opened a door.

Shi Li was stunned.

Ruixin's special ability isn't particularly offensive; it's just that, for some unknown reason, it makes it impossible for physical attacks to get close.

She opened the door so recklessly! What if there's a monster inside with overwhelming power? She'd be the one who dies!
Countless arrows shot out from the door in an instant.

Shi Li even clenched her fists, ready to pause time for a moment.

Because the entire hall is circular, and she was at the center, at her speed, she couldn't possibly dodge at that distance.

Instead of dodging as Shi Li had expected, Rui Xin stood right there at the doorway, using the unique nature of his ability to make all the arrows fall onto the threshold. What a formidable shield!

Seeing that Ruixin wanted to open the door next to him again, Shili quickly stopped him.

"You're not trying to find the right door by trying them one by one, are you?" Shi Li asked, somewhat surprised.

She even thought that Ruixin's first priority would be to deal with her.

Because in that case, their team could be directly declared a failure.

All subsequent competitions will cease to exist.

This is the simplest method, requiring the least effort and time.

Although she can turn back time, these people didn't know that her control over time was to this extent.

However, Ruixin did not choose the simplest method. Instead, it used itself as a human shield and tried to find a way out by using the most foolish method.

"Yeah, it's completely empty here, not even a bug. What clues do you think there might be?"

"This is the most direct and simplest method." Ruixin didn't think this method was stupid; on the contrary, he thought it was the easiest.

There's no need to worry about anything else, just do it.

"But what if the thing inside is very powerful and we can't beat it?" Shi Li was still a little nervous.

After all, she was all alone here, while Ruixin was on the other side who could kill her at any moment.

"We won't lose."

"You seem very scared." Ruixin then noticed that Shili's mood was not quite right.

He withdrew his hand from the doorknob and walked towards Shili.

"Are you afraid of me?" Ruixin felt that she was not mistaken.

Compared to what was inside the door, Shi Li seemed more nervous about him.

"No, I just don't know how to find the exit."

"It's normal to be a little nervous since I haven't been alone somewhere for a long time," Shi Li immediately denied, not wanting to be caught so easily.

But as Ruixin walked over, memories of Bai Qingye's earnest advice and early warnings about the enemy's perverse behavior kept flashing through her mind.

Shi Li couldn't help but become even more nervous.

If Bai Qingye knew at this moment that his previous good intentions would become a burden on Shi Li's mind, he would probably want to slap himself.

"A person? I'm not a person?"

Do you have such a big problem with me?

"I don't think I've done anything yet." Ruixin was also a little helpless, but his serious expression made Shili keep her distance.

"It's just me, and I don't know you well."

"Why would I curse you for no reason?" Shi Li was also confused. Why would this guy curse himself for no reason?

"Didn't you understand what she just did?" Ruixin sighed, thinking that Shili was usually quite smart, so why did she seem so silly now?

"What action?" Shi Li was still caught up in the tense atmosphere and hadn't reacted yet.

"Silly girl, wasn't that arrow meant for you?"

"If I really wanted to hurt you, I would have killed you first and then opened the door."

"Why go through all this trouble, having to be responsible for protecting you?" Ruixin sighed and covered his forehead.

He thought that his blatant care was already a clear indication of his feelings.

As Shi Li was still wondering if he had murderous intentions, Shi Li was still pondering.

It's like throwing a flirtatious glance at a blind person.

"That's probably because you're afraid you'll need a scapegoat later, so you're sparing my life for now."
