The freedom game

Game? What game are you talking about?

"This is the game you're playing right now. As a result, I may begin the explanation now that you've all awoken."

What are your plans for this round?

"You must fight each other until death, and I will set a timer for you. If you manage to stay alive you can go and clear round 2 but if you get killed you will be transferred back into the real world,dead or in some cases if you weren't an important player you will be transferred into nowhere."

Important player? What do you mean by that?

"I'm afraid that you'll need to understand this yourself, without me needing to say a word."

Important player? What does he mean by that? We need to kill each other?

"We're gonna have to kill each other! But I don't want to kill I want to get out of here with you and Li Jie!" Said Fen with a sad face,a tear falling down her check,what was Mei supposed to do? Stay here and wait for death to come?

Listen, Fen, you and Li Jie must stay with me till the end, okay? We have a chance if we work together. We just have to hide till this round is over.

Li Jie: You may have a plan but for the plan to work we need to have where to hide.

Mei: This room has also wardrobes and doors,maybe behind one door there is a safe place.

Fen: If I stay to think about it,I actually did think about the secret of escaping being a safe spot.

Mei: Exactly!

Panic had descended upon the room, and people were fighting like monsters with just the instinct to survive, eating one another with swords, knives, and even their bare hands.

Fen was clearly unwell since blood was flowing everywhere.

Does freedom really cause humans to kill one another just to win it? Why do we have to win freedom in the first place?

Li Jie: People are completely insane! Stop!

Mei: What exactly are you up to? If you distract them, they will attack you and kill you!

"You knucklehead-" With a knife in his hand, a man was already heading towards Li Jie.

Jie Li! What exactly did you do?

The man was now standing in front of Li Jie's sword, blood dripping down as Li Jie's garments slowly turned red.

"I killed him,did you think that there is any other way to stay alive and have a freedom instead of just killing? Don't worry I won't kill you and Fen."

If you won't kill us,then it's okay but I think that we should follow my plan.

"Then we'll follow it."

[Fireball]

What was that??

"What happened, don't you recognise me,Miss Mei Wu?

Wang Lixin??

"Yes, that's my name,I like the sound it makes when you say it,too bad that I'm your worst enemy."

You're the one that transmigrated me here, aren't you?

"Exactly and to clear this game you have to pretend we are friends. But for this to work your little team should disappear, especially...Fen."

You bastard! If you try to touch them, I'll kill you!

"With what? You don't even have a sword and I doubt that you even know how to use one. The only thing you know how to manage is the paintbrush and the canvas."

Are you sure about that?

"I'm sure about anything I said... I'm your enemy after all...besides your enemy I'm also your closest friend,do you want me to prove it to you? Then come with me!"

Was that an explosion just now?

"That's right, the explosion killed a large number of the 3000 people that were present. Only 2000 individuals remain. This was the whole goal of the game, to be smart enough not to die, which is why I led you to this area of the room since there are three squares on this level, as you can see. One each of blue, green, and yellow. Blue represents serenity, green represents nature, and yellow represents the sun. All of those things are positive, thus the safe corner is formally established."

"I'm s-scared" Said Fen with a scared look on her face,my guilty state didn't allow me to comfort her thinking that it's only my fault that Lixin did this...if only I wasn't so scared.

Shouldn't we go back?
