A game where you have to pay to win? But I have a lifespan roulette wheel!

Ji Boda was not angered by Jiang Lin's mockery.

Say something.

This Ji Boda has indeed become much more well-mannered.

Jiang Lin felt that this guy seemed to be able to endure more than he was.

Well, Ji Boda then gave the reason why he was so patient.

He simply raised his hand slowly, pointing to the [Dominion Core] that seemed to be composed of countless data streams, hovering above the arena.

"Time has no meaning here, Jiang Lin."

We have witnessed countless versions of ourselves being defeated, tormented, and crushed again and again by you, or rather, by that thing through you.

At first, it was anger, resentment, and an attempt to understand and fight back.

But 103,761 times… no, perhaps more, so many that we've long since given up counting.

His voice had a hollow quality, as if all the edges had been smoothed out by the long years.

"With each failure, the core of this world's rules, the Alaya core [the Light Core of Domination], which should be cold, ruthless, and absolutely impartial, will emit a trace of, well, a faint trace of joy, like a puppy that has completed its mission."

Leng Qingxue continued the conversation, her star-studded long dress fluttering even without wind:

"We once thought we were the masters here, the enforcers of the rules."

Until you came along, Jiang Lin.

Every victory you achieve weakens our control over this prison and awakens some will that has been dormant deeper within us.

That will born from extreme regret and resentment.

She looked at the blank book on Jiang Lin's lap, and a clear ripple finally appeared in her indifferent eyes.

"The book you brought in is recording—recording your actions, recording the changes in the world because of you. Is it... a key, or a catalyst?"

Jiang Lin raised an eyebrow and subconsciously touched the thick, blank book on his knee.

The book cover was still warm and smooth, but that warmth seemed a little more pronounced than before.

Could the unusually large reward notification from the plate just now, which bordered on exasperation, be because the book was recording some information that shouldn't be recorded, and the plate was trying to interfere or warn the reader?

So there's something fishy about this book?

Jiang Lin recalled the reminders from those big shots in the World Ocean chat channel.

Between the plate and the blank book, Jiang Lin definitely trusts the plate more.

After all, they are long-time employees.

"so."

Jiang Lin concluded.

"You two are actually veteran prisoners and former wardens of this godforsaken place? Now that I've been beating up your clones everywhere, almost exposing the whole secret of this place, you feel your positions are insecure, and even the prison itself might be in danger, so you've come out to talk to me, or rather, negotiate?"

Ji Boda and Leng Qingxue exchanged a glance, neither denying it.

"You could say that."

Ji Boda said, "We are not your enemies, Jiang Lin. At least, we are not in this state. Our existence is deeply bound to this Alaya world. If this world collapses due to the complete awakening of that will, or is completely recorded and rewritten by your book, we... may gain true liberation, but we may also be annihilated. We want to know, what do you intend to do? And what exactly does that thing behind you want to get from here?"

Jiang Lin smiled, but this time the smile was less mocking and more playful.

Experience taught him that if you can't figure something out, just call it!

"What do I want to do? I'm just here to play ranked matches and kill some time. As for what's behind me..." He shrugged, "How would I know anything about that? But constantly being matched with you two is fun, but it's getting a bit tiresome."

If there are any other games, we can still play them.

But it was pure torture and slaughter for both of them.

Jiang Lin was already fed up with it.

Jiang Lin no longer hates them.

Moreover, even if it's about torture and killing, the fake human version feels more authentic.

These two rational versions don't resonate at all.

As for what's behind it?

Who knows what's behind him now?

Director? Narrative concept? A big shot in the conceptual gap?

It might even be that Li Er?

Or is there something behind the plate?

Who can explain this clearly? He himself doesn't know either.

Before Jiang Lin could finish speaking, he had already disappeared from his wheelchair.

There was no overriding of the rule that words become law, and no use of fancy skills.

Pure speed, pure power!!

The saying goes, "A gentleman is not a vessel."

True strength lies in not using weapons to kill one's opponent; to kill with ultimate power is the only mercy!

Ji Boda's pupils constricted abruptly, his ancient gray robe fluttering without wind, and the surrounding space folded and layered, attempting to slow Jiang Lin's advance.

The indifference in Leng Qingxue's eyes vanished, replaced by sharpness. The starlight on her crown shone brightly, and a starlight barrier that seemed to freeze time instantly enveloped the two of them.

But Jiang Lin's figure seemed to pass through the folded space like a phantom. The starlight barrier that could slow down the flow of time did not even cause a ripple on the invisible normal shield on his body, which was created by the game singularity.

He didn't even try to break through these defenses; it was like passing through a thin mist.

The next moment, he appeared between the two.

With his left hand in a palm shape, he lightly pressed it against Ji Boda's chest.

Without a loud bang or an explosion, the protective aura surrounding Ji Boda, which contained the meaning of the birth, death, and reincarnation of countless civilizations, quietly dissipated. He groaned, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and his body slumped backward. His ancient gray robe instantly became dull and lifeless.

With his right hand held together like a sword, he pointed towards Leng Qingxue's brow.

A look of horror finally flashed in Leng Qingxue's eyes. Her flowing starlight dress tried to turn into billions of stardust and escape, but Jiang Lin's fingertip seemed to lock onto the core of her existence and gently tapped it.

The starlight surrounding Leng Qingxue instantly went out, and her crown shattered into specks of light that dissipated.

Then, like a sand sculpture, the body silently transformed into the most basic particle stream, starting from the point Jiang Lin touched, and dissipated in the pure white arena.

"Oh~ my sand~~"

Jiang Lin was certain that his attack was purely offensive and did not involve any molecular attack.

It's probably a problem with their current situation.

Looking at Ji Boda, it's like he died very quietly.

[Hint: The special opponents "Concept Bearer - Ji Boda" and "Time Observer - Leng Qingxue" have been defeated.]

[Ranking Up: Challenger IV]

[Rewards: 5000 Eternal Coins, 1 Alaya Core Permission Fragment.]

[Warning: Abnormal fluctuations in the battle platform's rules have been detected, causing a 0.7% decrease in the efficiency of the Dominion Core.]

Jiang Lin shook his hand as if he had only swatted two buzzing mosquitoes.

More than easily defeating his opponent, he was concerned about the thick, wordless book on his knee.

The book visibly trembled the moment he defeated the two men, and its cover became scalding hot.

He immediately opened the book, and saw new words slowly appearing on the previously blank pages. These were no longer the descriptions of a detection report, but rather more like a narrative:
