Chapter 923: Chapter 112: Death Game

“Welcome to my game world…”

As soon as Zhao Yu stepped into the vortex passageway, he immediately heard a voice descending from above.

“Congratulations on becoming a player, you have one day to live…”

“Please continue to play the game to earn lifespan and points…”

“What was that voice?!”

The group immediately looked around alertly but could not discern where the voice was coming from.

They looked around for a long time without finding the source of the voice, as if it had appeared out of thin air.

“Wait…”

Captain Ma Bond suddenly furrowed his brows, “Have you noticed that the boundary of this barrier seems quite extensive?”

“It seems so…”

Zhao Yu nodded. According to the information obtained on the plane, the scope of this Spirit World invasion wasn’t wide.

But now, as far as the eye could see, there were towering buildings everywhere, as large as a small city.

“Look over there…”

Suddenly, a team member pointed towards the distance.

Zhao Yu turned to look and saw streaks of light pillars in the distance, each of a different color.

Some were white, others were orange, and each pillar soared into the sky.

“Let’s go take a look!”

After a moment’s hesitation, they decided to go and check it out.

After all, they were here to address this Spirit World invasion.

“This doesn’t look like an amusement park anymore…”

A team member whispered lowly, “Looking at these buildings, it feels more like we’re in a city…”

“Hmm!”

They did not encounter a single person until they reached an orange pillar of light.

And that orange light pillar was visibly wrapping around a large building in front of them.

“There’s something written over there…”

Someone noticed a sign lit up in front of the building.

They walked over and read the sign: “Two-star game scene, required qualifications: must have passed a one-star scene. Lifespan to be gained: two days. Points to be gained: 10.”

“Game scene?”

The mounting confusion in Ma Bond’s heart grew; he had never encountered such a situation in a Spirit World invasion before.

Hesitating for a moment, he reached out his hand, and surprisingly, his information displayed on it.

“Ma Bond, Lifespan: 23 hours 51 minutes 44 seconds, Points: 0, Games cleared: 0, Current game scene entry qualification: One star.”

What surprised everyone the most was that the seconds in Ma Bond’s lifespan column were indeed reducing as time passed.

Seeing this, the others also placed their hands on it one by one, receiving the same information, the only difference being the few seconds of discrepancies in their timing.

Someone disbelievingly tried to walk into the orange pillar of light, only to be stopped outside.

“Swish!” When someone launched a Spiritual Power attack, it was completely blocked by the orange light pillar.

“This might be something conjured by a rule-type spirit…”

Ma Bond shook his head, “Let’s first exit and then report upwards…”

His subordinates were in a similar situation to him, all around the peak of the first tier, and their attacks on the orange light pillar didn’t even cause a ripple, suggesting that it was likely a creation of a rule-type spirit.

The others had no objections. Facing such bizarre circumstances was a first for them as well.

As for Zhao Yu, having not experienced many Spirit World invasions, his experience was not as rich as theirs, and since Ma Bond had instructed him to follow orders before they entered, he naturally saw no reason to refuse.

Quickly, the group hurried back to the entrance of the vortex passageway.

“Swish~!”

When Ma Bond walked towards the vortex passageway, he passed right through it.

“What’s going on?!”

Ma Bond was startled, tried to walk through again, but there was no change; the vortex passageway seemed to have malfunctioned and did not transport him out of this Spirit World-invaded world.

“No way…”

The others started to have a bad premonition and walked towards the vortex passageway; naturally, they too were unable to pass through and leave.

“Darn, this Spirit World invasion isn’t just first-tier!”

Ma Bond quickly realized this, as it would only be higher-level spirits that could prevent their departure.

“Ah, what?!”

Everyone immediately panicked.

They were just supposed to handle an F-rating task. How had they encountered a second-tier spirit, which was E-rated in difficulty?

Zhao Yu also tried passing through the vortex passageway and likewise, found no success in shifting back.

“Captain, what do we do if we can’t get back?!” someone panicked.

It was a first such situation for them.

“Wait!”

Ma Bond declared in a grave tone, “We’re supposed to report back every twelve hours…”

“If we haven’t left here in twelve hours, the people outside should realize something went wrong, and they would contact others to come and check on us…”

“But…”

A team member spoke softly, “Just now at that orange light pillar, we saw our lifespans are only one day; what if we really die when that time comes?!”

“Don’t know, don’t think unnecessarily, set up in defensive formation and hold position for orders!” Ma Bond quickly commanded.

Suddenly, the squad members formed a defensive circle, protecting Zhao Yu within.

…

“Still the same people from the capital, it’s been so long, and they haven’t cleared this incident…”

Outside the vortex passageway, many people had been waiting for a while and started to get restless as they saw no one coming out.

Normally, even when their own people went in, it wouldn’t take long for survivors to emerge.

But now, seven or eight hours had passed, and not a single survivor had come out.
