There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 225 "Prop Name": Last Words.

"Exit, exit, exit..."

Among the seven NPCs that had just descended, one of them, with trembling fingers, kept pressing the dim exit button in the void, but to no avail. Clearly, this map was not designed to allow NPCs to exit easily.

"It's fine, it's alright!"

At this moment, one of the seven NPCs, a man whose stature was rather burly, steadied his breathing, took a deep breath, and with determination in his eyes, spoke slowly and firmly as he held his weapon and focused on Chen Yi.

"No problem!"

"Remember, we are the Cats, and he is but a Rat!"

"No matter how strong he is, within this map, he's at our mercy!"

Chen Yi nodded calmly, lifted his eyelids to glance at the NPC who seemed strong-willed, and instantly activated his Starry Level title "One Man Exterminates a Clan"!

The next second—

The terrifying killing intent accumulated from exterminating a clan, as if made tangible, suddenly compressed the entire space!

It was as if Mount Tai was bearing down on them, pushing towards those seven NPCs!

The temperature in the air plummeted to several degrees below zero in an instant!

What was once a somewhat hot climate now felt like being thrown into the Arctic in a split second!

The Blue Star players nearby, while not the primary targets of the murderous aura, were affected nonetheless, and even that left them all huddled together, shivering uncontrollably!

It was their first time feeling killing intent as something that had substance!

In the past, when they read novels that described how a protagonist's killing intent would terrify enemies to the point of wetting themselves, they always thought it was an extremely exaggerated writing technique. Now it didn't seem exaggerated at all—this was realism!

"Thud, thud."

Sword Without End instinctively felt his teeth chatter and silently changed his position to stand behind Chen Yi, grabbing hold of Tuberculosis Rabbit's chest, and suddenly felt much better.

How to describe that feeling?

It was like having a thousand-pound hammer pressing against your chest, unable to breathe, gasping for air, extremely oppressive and uncomfortable.

It was like standing on the edge of an abyss, ready to fall at any moment.

Too terrifying...

Sword Without End and the Blue Star players were just collateral damage.

The seven NPCs who were the main targets were now on their knees on the ground, heads buried deep in the dirt, their shivering bodies at a frequency that would stir the heart of a middle-aged woman.@@@@

If only... it was always this rapid, that'd be great.

"Get up, all of you!!!"

It must be said, there was never a shortage of people with backbone. The NPC who had first spoken, despite not being able to withstand the pressure of the killing intent and falling to his knees, didn't dare meet Chen Yi's gaze. His voice trembled but was surprisingly powerful as he roared.

"Don't all act like cowards!"

"The third phase is about to begin. When Chen Yi turns into a mouse and can't attack, wouldn't that give us the chance to do whatever we please?!"

"We are at least..."

He couldn't finish his words before hearing a voice as light as a feather by his ear.

"Friend, from which planet are you?" Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

"..."

The burly man who had been encouraging his comrades to struggle just now stiffened abruptly, and with difficulty lifted his head to meet Chen Yi's gaze. He gave a wry smile, drew a dagger from his bosom, and without a word plunged it fiercely into his own chest!

"Sir Yi, I was wrong."

"I'm an orphan, just popped out into the universe, without a planet."

"May we meet again if fate allows."

Then, fearing that he might die too slowly, he pulled out the blood-soaked dagger and stabbed himself in the chest a few more times, before finally lying satisfaction in a pool of blood. In his dying moments, he had only one thought.

"Personally, I'd say avoiding the immediate crisis is more important, right?"

Li Peiqi slowly closed her eyes, staring at her nest-like hair, and after a long silence, she suddenly opened her eyes, shining with determination.

"I've thought of a solution!"

"What solution? Casually finding a man to announce a love affair, tactfully rejecting Mr. Sun?"

"No, I've decided to kill Mr. Sun. That way, there will be no future for Mr. Sun to provoke Chen Yi and involve me in that chain of causality. The best way to sever a potential future causality is to cut off the chain of causality before it begins!"

"..."

The woman beside her suddenly stiffened, her mouth twitching for a while before she managed to speak somewhat incredulously, "Are you serious? If you kill Mr. Sun, you'll be facing big trouble. It feels like maybe you're too afraid of Chen Yi."

"He might be strong, but is he worth being so fearful of?"

"You don't understand."

Li Peiqi suddenly got her spirits up, got ready to go out, and said, "Any causality that will lead to Chen Yi killing me in the future must be severed!"

"Do you remember that prop of mine?"

"You mean..."

The woman's eyes narrowed suddenly, tentatively responding, "Last Words?"

"Exactly."

Li Peiqi, now dressed in business attire, shook her head somberly and shared the prop panel with the woman before her.

'Prop Name': Last Words.

'Prop Level': A-Level.

'Prop Effect': This prop reveals how you will die in the future, updating daily at midnight.

'Prop Introduction': "A life without regrets is an imperfect one." — Blinded by Poverty said.

'PS: You will die at the hands of Chen Yi of Blue Star, time unknown.'

"You know,"

Li Peiqi looked earnestly at her best friend, "This prop is the only A-Level prop I have. With it, I've avoided numerous crises. Not even the chairman knows about it; I've only confided in you."

"I will not provoke Chen Yi!"

"Absolutely not!"

"The only reason I would die at his hands is if some damn beast drags me into it!"

"So Mr. Sun must die!"

Before meeting Chen Yi, her manner of death often changed as well.

For example.

'Death from kidney failure due to diabetes.'

During that time, she quickly reduced her sugar intake, and soon enough, the manner of her death changed.

'Death from choking due to vomiting while drunk.'

She gave up drinking altogether!

Or for instance, she only entered the map at 23:59 each night and at no other time would she go into the map.

When she prepared herself mentally to enter the map, she would focus intently on the 'Last Words' prop panel, and if the updated cause of death after midnight was—

'You will die on the xxx map.'

She would simply choose not to enter that map and wanted it to roll as far away as possible!

If the cause of death was unrelated to that map, she would confidently enter it.

Relying on this, she had managed to live well so far.
