Chapter 4: Murder Game

  ♂?,,

  Shi Ling looked at the device on his left wrist, let out a faint sigh, and felt a deep sense of dread and powerlessness in his heart. He didnt dare to try the consequences of violating the rules of this game, so he could only choose to follow the rules of this "killing game".

  No matter what the ultimate goal of this "killing game" is, he can only follow the prompts in the game to find the "prophet" first.

  Having made up his mind, Shi Ling no longer hesitated and began to sprint forward along the Su Causeway Boulevard, following the indications on the electronic map.

  "Not good, this prophet seems to be moving too, and where is that womans Evil Apostle?"

  Shi Ling ran swiftly while checking the screen on her left wrist, and found that the white light spot representing "Seer" was also moving slightly.

  At this moment, Shi Lings mind was still filled with confusion. What would the "Prophet" be? And who was the "Evil Apostle"? If he was also human, could he really bring himself to kill him after finding him?

  "Murder", Shi Ling didnt even dare think about it.

  In this country with laws and order, murder is punishable by death.

  While running and thinking wildly, Shi Ling suddenly realized that there was a person in front of him not far away, whose movements were very similar to his own.

  This person, like Shiling, was sprinting forward alone in the crowd along "Su Ti", while occasionally glancing at the electronic watch on his left wrist. This action was surprisingly similar to that of Shiling.

  Xī Líng fell behind him, and when he saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat, and he involuntarily stopped in his tracks. Could it be that this person was also chosen to participate in the "Killing Game" just like himself?

  When he stopped at the Shiling, the man with a robust back silhouette had already rushed onto the single-hole stone arch bridge in front of him. Almost at the same moment he stepped on the stone arch bridge, a loud "boom" suddenly occurred.

  The stone arch bridge suddenly collapsed without warning, and the robust man who had just rushed up, along with several male and female tourists walking on it, fell down together with the collapsed stone arch bridge amidst their cries of shock.

  Xī Língs heart sank, and he quickly rushed forward, surrounded by the shocked cries of countless tourists from all directions. Soon, a large number of tourists gathered here.

  This stone arch bridge has been standing for years and has always been well-maintained, yet it suddenly collapsed today without any warning.

  When Shi Ling rushed to the scene, what he saw was that among the ruins of the collapsed stone bridge, other tourists were falling into the water, struggling and crying for help. Only one man who looked very strong had his head crushed by two large stones formed by the collapse of the stone arch bridge, turning into a pulp of flesh, with red and white objects splashing out together, staining the nearby rocks, shocking to see.

  He was wearing an electronic watch identical to Shilings on his wrist, quietly disappearing. What terrified Shiling even more was that under the collapsed stone bridge, on the surface of the water, a ghostly figure was floating, seemingly there and not there at all.

  This thing, with disheveled hair and wrapped in a black hood, suddenly lifted its head, grinned, and stretched out a skull-like hand to point at Shi Ling, as if silently saying, "Youre next."

  "Ah——" Shi Ling let out a terrified cry, stumbling backward several steps, almost falling over.

  Behind them, countless tourists rushed up, and those who could swim jumped into the water to rescue people, causing chaos.

  When he calmed down and went to take another look, what skull ghost wearing a conical hat was there on the water surface? With so many people around, if there really was a ghost shadow, why couldnt others see it? Was it just his own illusion earlier?

  "No, this isnt an illusion... This bridge... Its the one that collapsed, and this dead man must have been chosen for this killing game just like me... That ghostly figure... Is it what they call the Evil Apostle?"

  "Hey kid, whats wrong?" a concerned voice suddenly came from beside him.

  Shi Ling was shocked and came back to his senses. Beside him, an old man who looked over sixty years old was standing there, looking at him with concern.

  Shi Lings face turned pale, and he muttered to himself, looking like he had been stimulated. The old man thought Shi Ling was ill.

  "No... nothing..." Shi Ling reluctantly replied with a sentence, turned around and left, behind him came the faint sound of conversation.

  "Poor thing, died such a terrible death."

  "Yes, look, his head is completely smashed."

  "How could this bridge collapse without any warning signs at all?"

  "Could it be that a small-scale earthquake suddenly occurred in this area?"

  "Its really chaotic everywhere these days, I didnt expect that coming to play at West Lake would also result in loss of life, sigh."

  The murmurs behind grew fainter and fainter until they could no longer be heard.

  In the distance, a faint sound of a mournful siren drifted over.

  "This murder game, it doesnt seem to be a prank after all... someone actually died...... Whats next? No... I need to calm down now, follow the instructions and find the Prophet..."

  Suddenly, a crisp "crack" sound came from beside his ear, and Shi Ling was startled to look up, only to see that a giant willow tree as thick as two people embracing had suddenly snapped and fallen towards him with great force.

  Greatly shocked, Shi Ling let out a loud cry and desperately rolled forward, as cries of surprise echoed all around.

  A loud crash, a huge willow tree fell heavily to the ground, dust flying everywhere. Shi Ling dodged quickly and wasnt crushed, but his right arm was scratched by one of the branches, blood flowing freely.

  "How was it?"

  "Are you okay?"

  Other tourists flocked over, with many of them inquiring and asking about it.

  Shi Ling struggled to regain his composure, got up from the ground, and saw that the roots of the suddenly broken willow tree had been hollowed out by countless tree insects, which would have collapsed sooner or later. It seemed like a pure accident, but it happened at this time, pressing down on him. Compared with the collapse of the stone arch bridge earlier, Shi Ling couldnt think it was just an accident.

  This must also be the work of that indescribable, mysterious power. Shiling doesnt know what this mystical power is, and for now can only call it "Evil Apostle".

  Look again at the willow tree that has fallen to the ground, this willow tree has many sharp branches, hitting the ground, these sharp and thick branches are all deeply embedded in the soil.

  His back was covered in cold sweat, and he pressed down on the wound on his right arm. Fortunately, the injury wasnt serious, just a minor cut that didnt require bandaging.

  If it werent for the Zhongba bus accident, he would have fallen into that crevice and had a three-day ordeal like a nightmare, Shi Lings reaction speed wouldnt be as fast as it is now.

  Then he was very likely to be hit by the giant willow tree, and looking at the sharp and thick broken branches piercing into the ground, he could imagine the terrifying scene of these sharp branches piercing his body if he had slowed down a step.

  That "evil apostle" is staring at him, it must be around here somewhere.

  Shi Ling looked around fiercely, cold sweat constantly seeping out of his forehead.
