Chapter 221: Success and Price (2)

Even though Huo Yingsu knew very well that in this Live Stream Horror Survival Game there were many players who died one after another, she still felt a pang in her heart when she thought about how this player died because of her.

"Huo Yingsu, don’t be soft hearted," the original Huo Yingsu’s voice came from the side. She clearly saw Huo Yingsu’s pale face and also knew the fact that the other party’s conscience couldn’t accept it.

Because even if they had already seen the coldness and the ruthlessness of the Live Stream Horror Survival Game, it was not to the point where they had to take action against innocent people.

But now...

Even knowing that in this game, it has always been a dog eat dog world where only the strong could possibly survive, Huo Yingsu still felt her heart ached.

"That player is also planning to take the Star Fruit. If he succeed, the suspicion will be placed on you," the original Huo Yingsu said slowly, her gaze seemed to see through the wall as she focused on the location of that player.

Because Huo Yingsu had indeed passed by the tree and if she didn’t plan to take this gamble... the location of that white flower was the closest to the tree.

So it was inevitable for Huo Yingsu to be placed under suspicion.

"I know," Huo Yingsu whispered.

She knew very well that the Live Stream Horror Survival Game would definitely cause many situation in which the players had to trample on the lives of other players in order to survive.

It was not like she hadn’t killed anyone.

She had done it.

In the first world, in order to take revenge for her friend back then and because of her righteous indignation, she had killed a few players. At that time, she did feel some nausea and discomfort in her heart because of her actions.

But it was different from the current situation.

She didn’t know who that player is, what he had done, whether he’s a good person or a bad person.

She knew nothing.

’I’m really thinking of things too naively before.’ Huo Yingsu let out a bitter smile.

She had already read about the Live Stream Horror Survival Game from the story perspective in the past and at that time, she didn’t think too much.

It’s just a story.

And even though the Live Stream Horror Survival Game was indeed quite terrifying and so on, Huo Yingsu still didn’t think much about it.

Only after she came to this world did she slowly come to terms to the cruelty of these games.

The first game did bring her to a cruel newly apocalyptic world. She watched how the society crumbled for the first time and how things developed from then on. It was also the first time she saw the cruelty of human nature and what they could do if they were pressed to the end.

...No, they were not at such desperate juncture.

Yet, they were still willing to cross their own bottom line for the sake of their own survival.

The Live Stream Horror Survival Game didn’t create their evil nature, it just amplified it and gave it a chance to grow and manifested.

The second game was a dungeon game where she didn’t really meet with other players. But she saw the NPC in the game and knew very well that many other NPCs had died in that settings.

At that time, she felt a kind of righteous indignation once again.

That what this NPC had been doing was wrong.

But Huo Yingsu didn’t do anything because she knew very well that a dungeon was all based on fixed settings. The Live Stream Horror Survival Game didn’t give them any chance to change those settings either.

So she didn’t bother trying.

She just wanted to survive.

And then, Huo Yingsu returned to the real world where she watched the tragedy unfolded. Even with the Live Stream Horror Survival Game’s clues as helper, Huo Yingsu had no idea what kind of apocalypse would happen specifically on her world.

She only knew that it should be ghost related.

But the specific?

She had no idea and could only prepare things for herself.

That’s why the earthquake caught her off guard and nearly trapped her in that hospital. But upon seeing the ghosts coming out, Huo Yingsu realized that the rules of the Live Stream Horror Survival Game still prevail.

It’s just...

Watching so many people died in that disaster, it would be a lie to say that Huo Yingsu’s heart didn’t ache.

She felt a faint pang of conscience in her heart that she quietly suppressed and didn’t show on the surface.

Because she knew that an apocalypse is inevitable.

And that no matter how unwilling she is, she had no power nor qualification to stop it.

It was such a ridiculous thought to even think about stopping it.

So Huo Yingsu didn’t think too much.

And with so many ghosts visiting her afterwards, Huo Yingsu simply had no time to ponder on this matter and as time passed by, her aching conscience seemed to be soothed.

And then the third Live Stream Horror Survival Game started.

It’s a small scale multiplayers dungeon game.

Why small?

Because it was only a few thousands and not in the millions.

Huo Yingsu knew very well from reading the story in her previous life that the high ranked dungeons could even put millions of players in a single game.

But at the same time, the Live Stream Horror Survival Game could also cruelly eliminate most of them without hesitation.

A game would have winner and loser.

Huo Yingsu knew it very well.

But when she saw it with her own eyes how her own action had accelerated the demise of another player...

It would be a lie to say that she could be at peace with herself.

Should she do it?

Or should she had taken a different course of action?
