Yu Tang slapped his hand away, stopping his childish act of tormenting his hair because of his height, and then turned to give Zhao Tingting a wink.
Zhao Tingting understood, and the next moment, all the lights in the entire art building went out, and Bai Qin's scream came from downstairs.
Yu Tang curled her lips into a smile, walked out of the studio, and said to Lu Qingyuan, "Come with me. I'll need your help once I've finished my preparations."
Lu Qingyuan raised an eyebrow and followed.
Yu Tang had previously held up five fingers to ask Zhao Tingting that question.
This means that all five people here who were connected to Zhao Tingting before her death are murderers.
There is only one way to pass the game: punish all five people.
Lu Qingyuan preferred that they kill each other and eventually all die.
After discussing it, Yu Tang and Zhao Tingting decided to make these people wish they were dead, so that they would never be able to escape the guilt of indirectly killing Zhao Tingting.
The reason Yu Tang had Zhao Tingting "kill" him was so that he could use his identity as a "ghost" to interrogate and "hunt" the other four people.
Yu Tang, being an angel, was stripped of her abilities in the game.
But their physical fitness is also much stronger than that of ordinary people.
Seven or eight strong men wouldn't be enough for him to fight.
Following his memory, he walked to the classroom where Zhang Ping and Cheng Yuan were, and found the atmosphere inside to be somewhat strange.
Zhang Ping and Cheng Yuan were far apart, seemingly wary of each other.
"Zhang Ping, do you really want to kill me?" Moonlight streamed in through the window as Cheng Yuan gritted his teeth and asked Zhang Ping, "I don't want to believe what a stranger says. But I can't help but have some doubts about you."
"After all, I'm the only one who knows your secret."
"If you kill me in this awful place and then frame the vengeful ghost, you'll be at peace forever..."
"So you still doubt me, is that it?" Zhang Ping stood up and walked step by step towards Cheng Yuan. "We've been friends for so many years, and you still don't trust me?"
Through the classroom glass, Yu Tang saw Zhang Ping's right hand, which was behind his back, and the knife gleamed coldly.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, then kicked open the classroom door. A man covered in blood stood in the doorway, looking at them with a sinister gaze.
It startled everyone in the room.
"Why should I pay with my life for your crimes!"
The man's eyes were bloodshot. He took a few quick steps, rushed to Zhang Ping's side, grabbed the boy by the neck, lifted him up, and slammed him hard onto the table!
Zhang Ping was stunned by the impact, his strong limbs struggling desperately, trying to escape from Yu Tang's grasp.
But his strength was no match for Yu Tang's.
The hand gripping his neck tightened, and Zhang Ping felt suffocate. The knife fell to the ground. He reached out towards Cheng Yuan, pleading desperately, "Cheng Yuan... save me..."
But Cheng Yuan's gaze was fixed on the small knife that had fallen to the ground.
With just a little thought, one can understand that Zhang Ping's purpose in getting up to find him wasn't to dispel his doubts, but rather to genuinely intend to kill him...
“Zhang Ping…you are a complete beast…you deserve to die…why don’t you just die…”
All their past affection shattered at this moment. Cheng Yuan almost hysterically shouted at Yu Tang, "He's the one who's guilty of the most heinous crimes! He raped Zhao Tingting! He angered the vengeful ghost and killed you! Kill him! Kill him now!"
Yu Tang sneered, choked Zhang Ping unconscious, threw him hard to the ground, and kicked Cheng Yuan in the stomach, knocking him to the ground.
"Cough cough cough..." Cheng Yuan collapsed to the ground in pain, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
He looked up at Yu Tang: "I didn't do anything wrong... why are you treating me like this?"
The hard-soled leather shoes mercilessly stomped on the boy's chest, causing Cheng Yuan to spit out half a mouthful of blood and tremble with pain.
Yu Tangcai replied, "By turning a blind eye to evil and covering up crimes, you're no better. You deserve to die too!"
In less than two minutes, Yu Tang had picked up the two men, who were half-dead and unconscious, and dumped them in the stairwell.
He ran into Bai Qin and Wang Chen as he went out.
Bai Qin's legs went weak from the sight, but she still stood in front of Wang Chen, pleading with Yu Tang in a trembling voice, "It wasn't us who harmed you, it was that bitch Zhao Tingting who harmed you. Even if you become a ghost, you shouldn't be looking for us, you should be looking for her..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yu Tang strode forward and slapped Bai Qin twice across the face.
The force was so great that blood seeped from Bai Qin's mouth and her ears were ringing. The next moment, her collar was grabbed and Yu Tang chopped her on the back of the neck, then threw the unconscious woman next to Zhang Ping and Cheng Yuan.
After giving Wang Chen another severe beating, Yu Tang used a method similar to dragging a dead dog to lay the four unconscious people out one by one in the corridor.
Then he looked up and saw Lu Qingyuan, who was hiding on the sidelines, engrossed in watching the show, using an invisibility spell.
The languid demon clapped his hands and emerged from the darkness, a surprised smile on his face: "I dare say, you are the most violent angel I have ever seen."
The system was also stunned, and said to Yu Tang in its consciousness: "Host, this is the first time I've seen you stomp on newbies so brutally!"
Yu Tang wiped his hands with his clothes and didn't say anything.
In fact, during that period of time, he genuinely wanted to kill these people several times.
But I held back.
For the sake of the plan, and also to control my emotions.
A person who walks into the abyss can never guide another person out of it.
Therefore, if he wanted to guide Lu Qingyuan, he had to keep himself constantly alert.
"I'll take that as a compliment." Yu Tang smiled at Lu Qingyuan, pointed to the person on the ground, and said, "Now it's your turn to help."
"I need your help..."
Chapter 15
Died for the fifth time for the villain (15)
"An illusion?" Lu Qingyuan became interested after hearing Yu Tang's words.
He asked Yu Tang, "What kind of illusion do you want them to enter in the time to come?"
"Do you remember what you said before?" Yu Tang pointed at the four people lying on the ground: "Zhang Ping is guilty of threatening rape, Cheng Yuan is guilty of concealing and protecting, Bai Qin is guilty of possessive lust, and Wang Chen is guilty of mind manipulation..."
Lu Qingyuan's gaze deepened as he looked at the man who had completely repeated his words, a strange emotion stirring within him.
He hadn't expected Yu Tang to remember those words so clearly.
No one used to listen to what he said. Because in the eyes of those angels, he was utter evil.
Everything he did was wrong, and none of it would be accepted by the rules.
Yu Tang, however, has never said that what he did was wrong, from the beginning of the game until now.
Instead, she was gradually influenced by him, but did not fall into despair because of it.
Instead, they are trying a different approach to break this deadlock...
It's really... interesting.
He was increasingly looking forward to the other party's next decision.
[Host! Lu Qingyuan's favorability has increased by 10 points, currently at 30!]
Upon hearing the system notification, Yu Tang paused for a moment before continuing, "So, I want you to give them a taste of their own medicine."
He smiled, the blood-red paint on his face making him look evil and sinister: "I'll create a cycle of illusions, so that each of them will experience, thousands or hundreds of times, what they did to Zhao Tingting back then..."
Lu Qingyuan met his gaze and saw Yu Tang's smile. A strange flutter suddenly rose in his heart, making him unable to help but smile, his lips curving upwards until he finally burst out laughing.
"That's wonderful, old angel, your idea is truly brilliant." He asked, "But you forbid me from torturing humans, yet you do the same thing yourself, even worse than me..."
Then what was the point of you coming to me the first time, trying to get me to change my ways?
"Repent and reform?" Yu Tang chuckled. "What is evil, and what is righteous? No matter how you understand it, it will only be one-sided."
When you enter the game, Zhao Tingting says you are her benefactor, which means you have helped her.
The suffering Zhao Tingting endured and the kindness she displayed are righteous, and you, who helped her, are also righteous in my heart.
"But the sinners you've brought here still have families, relatives, and obligations and responsibilities to fulfill. Although their sins are unforgivable."
However, their crimes do not warrant death, and we have no right to take their lives.
But we can forge a shackle for them in another way, so that they will forever remember the sins they have committed and spend the rest of their lives atoning for them.
"And the reason I found you is not to completely change you, but simply to..."
Yu Tang took a few steps toward Lu Qingyuan, grabbed the young man's hand, and gently pulled him to his side, saying earnestly, "I'll just pull you back from the brink of making a mistake, that's all."
The two were standing quite close.
Lu Qingyuan was slightly taken aback. Looking down, he could see the man with his head tilted back, smiling at him.
Although his face was still covered in red paint, his eyes were especially bright, and you could see his own reflection in them—very focused and gentle.
That inexplicable fluttering began to surge through his chest again. His gaze fell on those two pale lips, and Lu Qingyuan quietly licked his fangs. His throat was dry, and a feeling of thirst welled up inside him.
I want to kiss him...
Once this idea takes hold, it spreads like wildfire, becoming unstoppable.
The next moment, Yu Tang felt his waist being suddenly grabbed. He was also forced to press tightly against Lu Qingyuan's body.
Yu Tang: ?
"Holy crap, host! His favorability rating has suddenly jumped to 60!"
The system made a pointed comment: "I think he! MUST! Kiss! You!"
"Old angel, I promise to help you create an illusion." Lu Qingyuan's voice was noticeably hoarse. His huge black wings spread out, blocking out all the light, so Yu Tang couldn't see his expression. He could only feel the other's hot breath.
"But in return, you should give me some compensation I deserve."
"The reward you deserve?" Knowing Lu Qingyuan's temper, Yu Tang immediately replied, "You're the most handsome, you're the most amazing..."
“This is not the reward.” Lu Qingyuan’s eyes were bloodshot, and he could see his surroundings clearly even in the darkness.
Seeing Yu Tang's bewildered expression, he tightened his grip on the man's waist and lowered his head: "Yes..."
The passionate kiss was intense and startling.
Yu Tang winced in pain, and after the kiss ended, she glared at Lu Qingyuan.
As the black wings unfolded, Lu Qingyuan thought Yu Tang would be angry.
