Chapter 4: Dead Island (3) She's not an ordinary human

In the wolf game, even the stupidest villager will choose not to believe anyone after being deceived for the third time. When people were deceived to go to the southeast for the third time, they were completely desperate. The physical exertion of being chased for a long time made it difficult for them to move.

Shi Yu looked at them with pity, as if she was looking at the wronged souls about to fall into hell. The azure blue moonlight hanging above their heads is like a chantry, and the humans who died on this island are the sacrificed items. Her ears seemed to be filled with all kinds of crying, crying for their own destiny and their hopeless future.

Only Shi Yu knew that the clearance point was in the southwest because she found it. It was a huge old tree, about three meters high, with luxuriant branches that completely blocked all the light above the head, it completely shrouded Shi Yu in the darkness. Its stump is also very thick, it will take about four or five people to completely hug it. Shi Yu saw a sentence written on the tree.

Every word is common but it's a little bit incomprehensible if strung together.

【Disaster comes from the ugly side of people's thoughts. 】

But Shi Yu understood it. The ugliest aspect of people's thoughts is the suspicion and mistrust of "chasing after the wind".

There is a pile of weeds behind the tree, those weeds are half-high grasses that perfectly cover the wooden door behind the tree. On the wooden door, there's another gate with four iron rings hanging on it. It seems that it will take two people and four hands to pull it and pull the iron rings at the same time to open the wooden door.

In other words, two people must be present to open the door. If there is only one player left on the dead island, in the end, he/she may be killed by the poison gas that completely envelopes the island because he/she can't pull the iron ring at the same time. 

People have gone through the first round of bucket escape games and this long round of time of being chased. Their psychological defense has been pulled to the top, and no one will easily trust anyone.

Shi Yu stood on the tree and saw many deaths. Some were killed by poisonous miasma, some were hacked to death by scythe knight. There are old and young, men and women. The youngest here is probably only fifteen years old, and he's still wearing a school uniform that she doesn’t know which school it is.

Why is such a young child a dying person?

Here is the gloomy purgatory full of death. Shi Yu is like walking on the Naihe River Bridge, where everywhere is full of death and gloom, here is hell. Wherever she looked, she can see lonely ghosts on the shore, and she became one of these ghosts.

Shi Yu stretched her hand away from the bushes that blocked her sight and looked at the bloodstains on the ground, and then the humans escaping desperately on the entire island, as well as the scythe knight chasing these humans.

 And she, standing on the highest place in the entire island, overlooking the entire purgatory. In her ears are screams, fear of death, and desire for survival. They are all condensed into an overly harsh movement, filling this island of death.

Those who were cut to pieces by the scythe seemed to have become stiff, and Shi Yu just watched and listened indifferently. It was just like the self she used to be, she was placed in the spotlight, facing doubts from all directions and indifferent faces.

The number of survivors displayed in the watch is no longer large, gradually changing from three digits to two digits, the numbers gradually shrinking to less than twenty people. The scythe knight's physical strength is almost exhausted, but the good news is that this is the last time the poison circle has been retracted, leaving less than one kilometer of space for human activities. And it also saw the girl standing on the tree.

The girl was young, she wasn't afraid of death or itself, she even dared to ride on its body. The scythe knight gave up chasing the other players and ran straight to meet her. Standing under the tree, the scythe knight was furious: "Where is my stuff?!"

"That 'egg'?" Shi Yu asked rhetorically.

It was covered with blood, the mane on the horse's stomach was dripping with blood, and the horse's hoof stepped on the faint bluegrass, rolling back and forth: "You humble and small human being, how dare you steal my things?! I will kill you and sacrifice you to the Gods!"

Shi Yu's brows and eyes were slightly whitened by the light of the moonlight, her long hair hung down on her face, she didn't listen to the insults of the scythe knight, what she saw before her eyes was the approaching poison mist and the void of no horizon.

Perhaps, she can do a lot more.

The scythe knight was thinking of finding a way to trick this unrequited human girl but then suddenly saw her grabbing a branch in twos and then jumping off the tree before falling steadily on the ground. She disappeared into the half-person-high grass like a bubble.

It was furious and run to follow Shi Yu's back and chase after her.

It believe it won't be long before it will hold this human girl by the neck and cut her pretty little face with the tip of its scythe.

However, things seem to be different from what it thinks.

This human girl seems to be... mocking it?

Shi Yu ran within two steps and found that the scythe knight was a hundred meters away from her, so she stopped and waited for a while: "Hurry up."

"?" The scythe knight.

Ten minutes before the last lap of poison enveloped the entire island, Shi Yu played a game of cat and mouse with the scythe knight leisurely. People are afraid of the scythe knight, even if they have no will to survive, they will still grit their teeth and rush to run when they see the scythe.

However, Shi Yu deliberately guided the scythe knight, like pulling a kite string, and drove people to the vicinity of the big tree. A few sharp-eyed people discovered the secret door behind the big tree and said in surprise: "Found it! Found it!"

For the secret door to open, two people must pull the hoop at the same time, and each time the door is opened, only two people are allowed to enter. The people on the island of death were killed to less than twenty people, and it would take some time to enter one by one.

However, the scythe knight didn't seem to want to care about those people anymore and focused on chasing after Shi Yu's ass. The little girl looked small, but she was running like a fish swimming back into the water. She walked through the half-person-high weeds, using the blind spot of the scythe knight's field of vision, she took it here and there.

She even provocatively hooked her fingers towards the scythe knight: "Come here."

"..." The scythe knight felt a fire in its heart that began to pour into his dantian from his lower abdomen, and then flow through the dantian to his head. It screamed and its horseshoes stomped back and forth on the ground, sprinting towards Shi Yu's position with full speed. It was like an arrow feather that took off its bow, waving a scythe and trying to chop Shi Yu into half.

However, she didn't panic, she turned over with a handy roll to avoid the slash, and then dived into the grass and once again disappeared. The scyther knight stabbed the weeds angrily and cursed: "Dare to steal your grandpa's things. I will hack you, hack you, hack you... "

Shi Yu had already slipped behind it, tilted her head, and asked, "Why would a horse lay snake eggs? Would you die if you lose it?"

The scythe knight stabbed the weeds several times and was so tired that it was panting. When it looked back and saw her innocent face, it thumped with anger: "You actually think of that as a snake's egg?! You, you, you...I Hack you!"

When it said that, she ran away, and the scythe knight chased after her. But after running a few steps, Shi Yu heard a "bang" behind her, as if something had fallen over. When she turned her head, she saw the tall centaur kneeling halfway on the ground, its face was as white as snow, and its tongue was stretched out with its mouth wide open and panting.

It was exhausted and can't get up anymore

It looked at the human girl with her hands on her back and walked towards itself carelessly, slightly looking at its body.

"Why don't you run to me again?" she asked.

"The clearance point is right in front, scram." The scythe knight took out the last bit of strength and pointed at the big tree not far away, then rolled its eyes and almost fainted on the ground.

"Tell me first, what exactly is that little snake? Why does it have wings?"

"You ignorant, stupid, humble, insignificant..." The scythe knight let out a sigh of anger and closed its eyes. "Human being, that one is not a snake, that one is... is..."

"What is it?" Shi Yu leaned closer to its mouth.

The scythe knight was tired and out of breath: "I'm damned if I tell you, you ignorant, stupid, humble, humble..."

"Humble, small human beings." Shi Yu said for it.

"You don't have the right to know that person's identity." It let out a sigh.

"Okay then." Shi Yu took out a dagger from her pocket. It was taken from the murderer's corpse(back in chapter 3). She was going to use it in self-defense, but now she seems to be able to do something else...

The scythe knight watched her walking towards it, and it suddenly froze: "You, what are you about to do?"

This is the first time it has faltered in the face of a human, and it is also the first time that a human has slipped against it and run throughout the island.

"You have been chasing me for so long, so you can be regarded as an acquaintance. How about giving me some souvenir, little horse?"

"What are you doing? Don't come over! Hey, it hurts!"

Shi Yu grabbed the mane scraped from the horse, put it into her pocket, and patted the bulging pocket, she happily walked to the customs clearance point.

Even though it's an abnormal centaur, and even though its mane might be useless, it's a good memoir when she returns to the real world.

Shi Yu left, leaving the scythe knight with a bald body in place to doubt its monster life. It didn't even take a few breaths, when it opened its eyes, it saw a long purple-red "python" in the sky. The scythe knight bounced off the ground immediately, bowed its front hoof respectfully, and knelt down: "Your Highness." 

The winged "snake" exudes a cloud of purple-red mist, transforming into an unclear human form in the mist. A man's voice came from the mist, his voice clear and inattentive.

"He," said: "Liu Su, you are really embarrassed."

The scythe knight wanted to cry without tears: "Your Royal Highness, I'm sorry, I failed to protect you on your most critical day. You were stolen by a damn human being. Please punish me."

"He" smiled: "She's not an ordinary human."

The scythe knight thought it had a problem with its ears. This was the first time it saw His Highness smile since he had known His Highness for so long.

The cliffs were flooded by shallow water, and the birds were floating in the sea.
