At this moment, Ke Mingye, who was almost on the verge of death, was surrounded by parasitic puppets and had nowhere to escape. He knelt down on the ground and held Bai Ziling in his arms.

If it had been one second later, he would have been the one to die.

But... on the other side of the clothing store, the Dice Monster had already closed in on Strow like a whirlwind. It raised its mechanical spider leg and pressed it against her neck.

The sharp tip drew a bloody line across Stroll's neck.

She calmly raised her neck, her red hair swaying in the wind and rain blowing in from the window, her eyes showing no fear.

In that instant, the parasitic puppets throughout the entire clothing store, and even throughout the city surrounding Beijing, ceased all movement. It was as if time had suddenly stopped, yet the clock on the wall continued to tick.

“I’ve left you with clues to your identity. Once I’m dead, someone will send that evidence to your family’s email address.”

In the silent world, Stroll spoke slowly.

"It doesn't matter..." Ke Mingye said expressionlessly. "I came to find you with the assumption that my identity has already been exposed. I can't let you go."

Upon hearing this, Sterling lowered her eyes and chuckled softly.

"Ke Mingye, we really are the same."

She paused slightly before continuing, "So, this is my request: I won't reveal your identity, and you'll destroy all the evidence. And you... can you bury me and my family's bodies together?"

Ke Mingye paused for two seconds, then lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.

Finally, he slowly nodded.

"can."

“A lie,” Stroll said calmly. “You didn’t actually intend to do that; you were just saying it to appease me, weren’t you?”

Ke Mingye remained silent and did not look up at her.

Stroll turned her head, gazing at his face across half the clothing store, and whispered, "I left no evidence. I feel like I am Stroll, and you are Ke Mingye... There's nothing to expose. To your family, you are you; to my family, I am me."

"So... what exactly do you want to do?"

Ke Mingye took a deep breath, his lips twitching slightly.

“Actually, from the moment you appeared, I knew I had already lost,” Sterling said. “We were never a match for you. My only way to win was to use you and that nuclear bomb to distract some of your family, take your sister’s heart, and then quickly escape. But now it’s too late…”

As she spoke, she glanced out the window at the fallen blue flame horse and Howard kneeling on the ground.

Stroll remained silent. She forced a smile and raised her hand to cover the still intact half of her face. But tears streamed uncontrollably down the other half, which was now just bone.

"And what about you? What will you choose in the end?" she asked softly, turning her gaze away from Howard.

"what are you saying……"

"Will you side with your family or with the players?"

Sterling then asked.

Ke Mingye lowered his eyes, remained silent for a long while, and then said, "I am a player. You want to kill all the players, so you are my enemy..."

“A lie.” Stroll interrupted him, then continued, “You are Ke Mingye, and I wanted to kill your family, so… that’s why I became your enemy.”

“You’re being a little ridiculous…” Ke Mingye leaned against the wall, looking down at the white-haired girl in his arms, and said deeply, “She’s just a dead person, what you’re saying is meaningless.”

“You’ll have to make a choice sooner or later anyway…” Stroll said casually, her eyes lowered. “Self-deception is never a choice, it’s just cowardice.”

She paused. "Are you a coward, Mr. Spider-Man, or... is it more appropriate to call you Ke Mingye?"

Upon hearing this, Ke Mingye remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, he raised his blood-stained eye sockets, his pupils reflecting the gloomy sky outside the window.

“You said… is it possible that I can find another way?” he said.

“How do we find it?” Stroll said. “You want to use the power given by God to rebel against God? You know how stupid that sounds.”

As they spoke, a torrential downpour continued outside the window, the surging rainwater on the streets seeming to threaten to engulf the entire world. A sudden clap of thunder shattered the silence, splitting the world into black and white.

"you're right……"

Upon hearing this, Stroll turned her gaze away from the window and looked down at the tip of the mechanical leg pressed against her neck.

She was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Kill me before I see them die... as a way of repaying me for not exposing your identity, okay?"

Ke Mingye slowly lowered his face, his eyes hidden under his bangs.

The next moment, the Dice Monster raised the tip of its mechanical leg and instantly pierced Stroll's jaw. Blood splattered out, splashing onto the pillar.

Sterling slumped to the floor. Her red hair spread out like blooming petals, and her empty pupils reflected the mottled ceiling.

Ke Mingye took a deep breath. He knew that Gastro was still alive, and the charade he had been putting on with her in the clothing store was about to come to an end.

My sister recommended a book: "Dragon Raja: I, Maybach, Join the Chat Group".

The introduction is as follows:

"I will never forget that rainy night, on that overpass you took away the person I loved most."

Odin's pupils contracted slightly: "You, you are Chu Zihang?"

"No, I am a Maybach."

Chapter 206 Major Event Two: Vampire Hunter (Part Nine)

When Ke Mingye came to his senses, the wounds on his body had disappeared. He looked up at the blood-red vampire oath mark on the back of his hand and confirmed that it was the thing left behind by Bai Ziling, and that it was this thing that had healed most of his wounds.

Just as Ke Mingye carried Bai Ziling on his back and stepped out of the clothing store from beside the blood-soaked Stroll, he suddenly heard a faint voice beside him.

Surprised?

Stroll stood by the entrance to the clothing store, raised a cold pistol, and pointed it at his head. A mocking smile played on her lips, her eyes filled with derision.

Seeing this, Ke Mingye paused slightly and said without turning his head.

"You... are already dead."

Are you scared out of your wits?

As she spoke, Sterling smiled slightly and began to explain the origin of this strange scene: "There was no way I could kill you in the clothing store, because the vampire oath your sister left on you had not yet been triggered... So, when I used that mirror skill to disguise myself as still in the clothing store, I had already left the clothing store and sent a puppet disguised as me, which I had arranged beforehand, into the store with the flow of people."

She paused. "And the moment the 'Deadly Lie' penalty effect was triggered, the micro-bomb hidden under the face mask took effect, blowing half of her face off. And from your perspective, that's why you firmly believed that what you saw of Gastro at that time was real, right?"

As she spoke, she raised the corners of her mouth and showed a gruesome bloodstain on her left wrist that stretched down to her shoulder.

"This is my punishment."

Ke Mingye remained silent, his expression unusually calm.

Seeing that Ke Mingye remained silent, Sterling curled her lips into a smile. "You've used the same trick again. Just like last time upstairs, you fell for the same trick again, foolishly mistaking my puppet for your real self."

As she spoke, she lowered her eyes, rolling up her sleeves as she continued, "Now that the vampire oath has been activated, it can't save you a second time in the short term. So... as I pull the trigger on your head, your life will end at this moment."

Ke Mingye suddenly laughed.

“When I said ‘you are dead,’ I didn’t mean it with a tone of surprise or shock, but rather as a statement of fact. If you can’t understand it with your intelligence, then you can try pulling the trigger.”

He spoke calmly, his gaze fixed on the billboard directly in front of him, without even glancing at Gastro.

Sterling tilted her head, her index finger gradually tightening on the trigger of the pistol.

"Then I'll return your words verbatim: you... are already dead."

As soon as she finished speaking, Stroll pulled the trigger towards the back of Ke Mingye's head. However, at that moment, the bullet did not leave the barrel, because the muzzle was covered with layers of snowflakes.

The layer of snow completely blocked the muzzle, sealing it perfectly.

Then... the pistol exploded.

Bang-!

As the barrel exploded, the wreckage of the pistol slipped from Stroll's palm, her right hand completely destroyed in the flames.

“How is this possible…” Stroll knelt on the ground, clutching her bloodied and mangled right hand, and looked up at the magical girl in a Christmas dress in mid-air. “Where did she come from…”

Ke Mingye explained slowly.

"Did you know that besides the 'Blue Owl,' 'Spider Man,' 'Ke Mingye,' and 'Dice Monster' you already know, I have another identity..."

He paused for a moment: "This identity is called 'Little Red Riding Hood, the Magical Girl'."

"Just now, while I was fighting you with the Dice Monster in the clothing store, this magical girl was secretly observing from outside. So all your little actions, all your self-righteous disguises and tricks... were seen by me. I was playing along with your act the whole time, but you didn't even notice for a moment."

Hearing this, Sterling was stunned for a long time. She tried to struggle, but her body was wrapped in layers of snowflakes and she couldn't move.

"Impossible..." she murmured.

Ke Mingye's calm, emotionless voice kept entering her ears, like the Grim Reaper sentencing mortals.

"Furthermore, you didn't use any items during our fight, and you used very few skills. I could tell you were holding back to lower my guard so you could attack me after the vampire oath on my body was triggered."

"Of course... actually, my greatest confidence comes from the fact that you can't possibly surrender to me before your comrades die, because you are Gastro... a person who would betray all the players for his family, so you will fight them to the last moment no matter what, I have faith in you."

At this point, Ke Mingye paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and continued.

"And then... now, I'll repeat those words again... 'You are dead.'"
