What?! The Gamemaster And The Top Player Are Dating?! - Chapter 234

Ten seconds remaining.

The hunter sighed as she first tried to struggle a bit but the handcuffs made it hard for her to move more than a few inches.

[9]

“Tell me why you’ll die if you don’t kill me,” Zhihao questioned firmly once again and the ticking timer made the hunter feel as if even if she were to give them an answer right now, they would be helpless to do anything for it.

[8]

“Mastermo, you already know who we are, don’t you?” The hunter questioned back in turn instead of answering straightforwardly.

“I do. You’re players like us, or to be more exact, you’re the players that never got the chance to enter the final level because of us.”

Everyone else was suddenly shocked to hear this. It was something that Zhihao had never told them and they had been too busy to try to figure it out for themselves..

Now it made sense why Zhihao had gave up on removing the hunter’s mask.

[7]

“To put it shortly, you’re the one that hates us the most for stealing an opportunity from you,” Zhihao added with no emotions.

The hunter chuckled as she nodded her head, “That’s right. You stole this opportunity from us and Alvi gave us another chance to steal it back.”

[6]

Wang GuiYing suddenly broke out laughing as he heard this, “You’re really delusional, aren’t you. What are you barking about? When did we steal anything? You guys were never in the top ten. We didn’t steal your opportunity. We were just better than you so you never even had a chance.”

He was clearly mocking the hunter openly and the other players remained silent which indirectly meant that deep in their hearts, they also agreed with Wang GuiYing.

[5]

The hunter was silent for a second before she broke out laughing like a maniac, “What’s the use of you being that good? Hahaha… You’ll still die in the end!”

Zhihao frowned as he heard this, “You didn’t answer my question. Why do you keep mentioning death?”

The hunter turned to look at Zhihao, “Mastermo, you’re so intelligent. You have noticed so much on your own. How come you haven’t realized what game you’re playing?”

[4]

Zhihao gritted his teeth as he pulled the hunter by her collar, “Just say it already.

The hunter chuckled as she finally decided to reveal the truth, “We’ll die.”

“…”

“It’s either you or us. Only one of us can survive. If we kill you, we live and if you survive, we die.”

[3]

“What nonsense are you making up?” Zhihao scoffed, “How would you die?”

The hunter shook her head as she responded, “You can choose to believe me or not but I’m not lying to you. Well, seeing as how you’re so close to me, I don’t think either of us is getting out of this alive.”

[2]

Zhihao’s eyes widened as he immediately realized what the hunter was trying to warn them about.

He let go of her collar and pushed her off before taking a few steps back and warning the other players, “Get away! Get down! Get away from her right now!”

The other players also seemed to have noticed that something was not right so when they heard Zhihao’s worried voice, their feet acted on instinct almost instantly as they tried to run away from the scene.

[1]

The hunter started laughing maniacally as she saw the panic, “Hahahahaha…! It’s already too late!”

Zhihao jumped on Li Ling and covered him as they both fell down.

Tian Xifeng dragged Liang Feng back in order to save him and Kaoru who had previously been saved by Tian Xifeng helped the woman in helping Liang Feng.

Everything went still as they all ducked their heads down and covered their ears as they waited for the explosion.

[0]

They waited for a few seconds but they heard no sound and even the hunter stopped laughing.

“Eh…?” The hunter muttered in confusion, “What’s happening…? Why am I… Alive?!”

Zhihao gulped as he lifted his head and looked at the timer on his phone that had stopped.

His mind went blank as he also couldn’t understand what had happened.

“Why the hell didn’t it go off?!” The hunter cried out in shock as she frantically moved around, “What’s happening?! Who did this?!”

She sounded confused and angry as she cried out.

Zhihao took a sharp breath in as he striaghtened his back and stood up from the ground.

He turned to face the hunter as he questioned, “Why are you still alive??”

The hunter looked back up at Zhihao’s face and was silent for a minute before she muttered softly, “I don’t know…”

Zhihao’s eyes seemed to contract as he looked down at the screen and saw that both Li Ying and Jiangshi were still in the same place.

Whatever had happened was not something that Zhihao had done so the only one who would be capable of doing it was either Li Ying or Jiangshi.

Zhihao gulped in worry as he wondered if Jiangshi had realized something that Zhihao had overlooked.

That boy certainly looked to be determined as he kidnapped Li Ying and ran away with her.

He didn’t even bother running to the main control room which was the first idea that crossed Zhihao’s mind.

The other players also stood up as they noticed that nothing happened. They saw the hunter going crazy and it was clear that even the hunter was shocked to see nothing happening.

Previously, all the hunters were trying their best not to take off their panda masks but now that nothing happened, this hunter willingly tried to take her panda mask off.

Zhihao had no interest in seeing what these hunters looked like but he still crouched down to help her take the mask off.

Once the mask was off, Zhihao didn’t bother looking at her face, instead, something else caught his interest.

His eyes widened as he looked at the small bomb that was built in with the mask.

The screen inside had a single word displayed in red color.

Disabled.

The bomb had been disabled.

Li Ling also walked over to look at the mask and he seemed to have immediately saw something, “LHA…”

“Huh?” Zhihao looked at the man in confusion.

Li Ling sighed as he pointed at the mask, “There is a company label on the side. This bomb was also made by LHA.”

Zhihao sharply snapped his head to glare at the girl as he questioned rudely, “What relation do you have to LHA?”

The girl’s face turned white as she heard this question, “W-what do you mean? What’s LHA?”

“Don’t joke around with me!” Zhihao snapped angrily, making it clear that he wasn’t here to go around in circles.

The girl gulped as she shook her head and denied to give him an answer, “I don’t know anything…”

“You expect me to believe that?” Zhihao scoffed as he glared at the girl and gave her another chance to come clean but the hunter refused to say anything about LHA.

Zhihao gritted his teeth as he felt annoyed at the girl, “You’re really not going to say anything? Did LHA pay you?”

The hunter chuckled dryly as she shouted, “What’s it to you, Mastermo?! Aren’t you alive and well? Go and ask them yourself! Don’t get us involved in this!”

Zhihao’s eyebrows creased together as he stood up and looked at his phone screen before deciding that it was better to just go and look for Li Ying and Jiangshi.

He gave the hunter one last glare before turning his back on her and grabbing Li Ling’s hand to pull him along, “Let’s go and get your sister.”

Li Ling gulped as he almost felt a little afraid of this angry Zhihao who looked like he was ready to annihilate a whole army.

“W-wait for us!” Wang GuiYing stuttered out as he followed after them.

Li Ying and Jiangshi weren’t too far away so just after walking for a few minutes, they were already in front of the door to the room that the other two had chosen to hide out in.

Zhihao looked at the notice hanging on top of the door and his frown deepened.

<Only for authorized officers.>

How come Li Ying and Jiangshi chose this room to hide in?

Zhihao was even more shocked as he knocked on the door and spoke up, “It’s us.”

He opened the door but he suddenly heard Li Ying’s worried voice stopping him, “Don’t come in!”

Zhihao gulped as his foot stopped in midair and he didn’t dare take a step inside the room as he saw all the strings that were tied around the room.

Li Ying’s eyes were wide open as she stared at Zhihao and Li Ling in shock.

In the very next second, something heavy fell down from above and if Zhihao had taken another step forward, he would have certainly been crushed under the weight of whatever that was.

Zhihao gulped as his eyes widened ever so slightly.
