In the grand and luxurious hall, almost the mont the other party unmasked, a strong stench filled the air, forcing everyone nearby to step back a few paces.
It was the sll of a corpse that had sunk to the bottom of the sea for who knows how long—perfectly matching the current appearance of the Fake Human.
The entire being was just a skeleton, but not the clean, white kind you'd find in a hospital or anatomy room.
It looked more like a whole corpse that had been tossed into the sea for years and just dredged back up again.
Though the flesh had been eaten away by fish and broken down by the ocean’s ecosystem, the untreated bones weren’t white—they were covered in various dull and murky colors.
Anyone who frequently retrieves bodies from the water knows—that’s what the sea, the fish, and even the body's own decaying muscles leave on the bones.
So spots deep within the skeleton even showed faint traces of muscle, as if lted plastic had been seared onto the bone by intense heat, fusing together tightly.
Inside its hollow eyes were so strange, foreign substances—no one could tell if they were parts of the skull that hadn’t fully decayed yet.
Best not to think too hard. Just... gross.
It hadn't done anything else yet, but just its presence here made it clear to everyone why this was a Hell Mode Ga.
An unnatural tension spread through the crowd.
People instinctively kept a wider distance from one another.
Underneath those handso and beautiful masks, sothing like that existed—no one could be sure if the person next to them was one of those things.
But "Sin" didn’t react like everyone else. On the purple mask, an expression of delight appeared. (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
He stepped forward, getting even closer to the Fake Human.
"As expected, you didn’t let down. Beneath the mask is a truly beautiful face."
"Among so many vulgar and ugly people, I spotted your beauty at a glance. I think this might be fate."
—To see bones as one sees a beauty!
Compared to the discomfort caused by the skeletal figure, what “Sin” said probably had an even more shocking effect.
The Fake Human seed like it had never encountered this kind of player before. After a two-second freeze, it resud its scripted NPC-like dialogue:
"Regardless, it’s unfortunate. You lost."
"No, I think I won." Lu Ce stepped forward again—his mask was almost touching the skull—and even grabbed the other’s hand.
The Fake Human’s skeleton trembled—it didn’t dodge in ti.
"Just seeing you ans I’ve already won."
Lu Ce held the skeleton hand, gazing "affectionately" at the skull, his entire body radiating an almost explosive hormone vibe.
Fake Human: ......
Its preset processing logic clearly never accounted for this scenario—its system just completely froze, like the CPU had fried.
Not just it—everyone was fried.
The whole casino felt like it had been hit with a paralysis spell. No one moved. Everyone was staring stone-faced at that spot.
You being the Strongest Player—we’re not jealous at all, really!
This instantly humbled those who previously thought they were top-tier and had trouble accepting the First Player’s position. They bowed their heads in silence.
They behaved!
Jiu Tian’s teammate beside him looked like he was about to wet himself.
Watching "Sin" almost press against that skull, his pupils were quaking!
Turning to Jiu Tian, he said, "Show-Off Guy! I feel bad for you!"
Jiu Tian: ?
"The filthy air of the mortal world makes feel dirty, unwilling to touch anything."
"But holding your hand... it’s different. It’s like the polluted air has suddenly beco fresher."
Lu Ce didn’t seem to care about the ga or anything else. Holding the Fake Human’s hand, he kept talking, like putting on a show for the Sli on the side.
duang, duang—it started bouncing with excitent.
The Fake Human subtly pulled its hand back and shyly took a step back, saying:
"Let’s proceed with the ga’s buffer phase first."
"You need to agree to a not-so-excessive request from ."
"None of your requests could ever be excessive!" Lu Ce replied imdiately, pointing Hell Roar at his own chest. "Want to see my sincerity?"
Fake Human: ......
At this point, it didn’t even know how many tis it had gone silent—just chose not to respond, then turned to look at the Sli and nodded.
【Alright, then the ga is signed!】
【Rules set by the Fake Human, carried out by Player ‘Sin’. Breaking the rules equals losing.】
【The wager: if the player loses, they lose one star; if the Fake Human loses, the player gains one star.】
【Due to the ×2 rule.....】
"What the h*ll do I need your worthless star for, you blind and ugly piece of s**t?! Don’t you know what’s needed?!"
Just a mont ago, “Sin” was releasing charm like a gentleman—now he exploded in rage, spinning around and cursing out the Sli.
The Fake Human jolted again, terrified, backing away a bit more. The Sli froze stiff.
After thinking for a mont, two chubby, fleshy hands stretched out of its body and started scribbling sothing in midair.
【Alright then. Due to Player ‘Sin’s reasonable request, and to keep the ga fun and exciting, the wager has been revised.】
【The wager: if the player loses, they lose two stars; if the Fake Human loses, it must unconditionally agree to one request from the player.】
After finishing, the Sli bounced over happily, facing Lu Ce, and said:
【How’s that?】
"Perfect." Lu Ce nodded in satisfaction and gave a thumbs-up.
The two were discussing terms like a business deal. Everyone else had no clue why this “Sin” guy had such high ga privileges.
Was it just because he unmasked?
Is there really a benefit to voluntarily unmasking?!
Since entering the ga, everyone had been hit with blow after blow. Their minds were starting to go numb.
Nearly ten minutes of the one-hour countdown had passed, and no one had made a move. They all just stared at “Sin,” waiting for this unstoppable guy to blaze a trail for them.
The Sli shot a cold glance at everyone, then muttered under its breath:
【What a bunch of people who have no idea how to enjoy a ga...】
"Alright then! The ga is sealed! Let’s begin!"
Right as the Sli finished speaking—and maybe because it couldn’t stand Lu Ce’s flirty mask anymore—the Fake Human in front of him hurriedly announced the ga start.
"A little ga test. I need three players."
Then it stretched out a bony finger and pointed three tis into the crowd.
"You three, co forward."
