Chapter 101: Game: Saving Liu Su (2/2)

Shen Cheng staggered forward a few more steps and collapsed powerlessly next to the Giant Creature’s massive palm, watching the red blood seeping from beneath it. A sense of helplessness arose in his heart.

The distance of a few meters seemed like an insurmountable chasm to Shen Cheng!

His speed had already reached its limit…

But…

“Second round failed, starting the third round.” The voice of the dark purple Demi-Human echoed again. Shen Cheng’s vision once again became distorted, gray, and twisted, returning to the original scene.

Shen Cheng knew that this was just an illusion, that everything was fake. Liu Su was still alive and well outside. He could do nothing and simply wait for time to pass.

But…

As time resumed its flow, Shen Cheng, without hesitation, pulled out his gun and fired madly at the Giant Creature, shouting, “Liu Su! Get out of the way!”

If even in a time-reversing loop, he couldn’t save the person he wanted to protect, how could he have any right to stand in front of them in reality?

“Bang! Bang! Whoosh—”

Several bullets struck the Giant Creature’s back, but apart from a few sparks, they had no effect. The monster’s enormous palm continued to descend mercilessly.

“Boom!!”

Once again, the monster’s palm crashed down without mercy.

“Third round failed, starting the fourth round…”

“Fifth round…”

“Sixth round…”

“…”

“Tenth round…”

Looking at Shen Cheng’s visibly fatigued figure, his eyes dimming yet still desperately trying to save Liu Su, the dark purple Demi-Human observing in the shadows shook her head.

What he longed for wasn’t overwhelming power; he simply wanted the strength to protect those around him, ensuring their safety.

Dragging someone like him into The Forsaken Ones would mean forcing him to stand against those he wished to protect. That was absolutely impossible.

What a… gentle fool…

She couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy for such gentleness.

Unfortunately, someone like her, who called herself part of “The Forsaken Ones,” had no right to enjoy that kind of warmth.

With such thoughts, the dark purple Demi-Human gently waved her hand, and a dark purple feather floated down in front of Shen Cheng.

As Shen Cheng was momentarily stunned, she spoke softly, “Use my feather. It will freeze the monster for a while, long enough for you to save Liu Su.”

However, Shen Cheng shook his head, ignoring the feather. He stood up and said calmly, “Shall we continue?”

The dark purple Demi-Human was slightly taken aback, “Can you save her?”

“I’m not sure…”

“Then why don’t you use it? Don’t you want to save her?”

“Because…” Shen Cheng looked up at the frozen back of the Giant Creature and slowly said, “The first time was because of my grandfather. The second time would be thanks to you. I… don’t really know what I can do anymore…”

“Actually… Even though I’m not happy you used Liu Su for this experiment, I’m still a bit grateful. Really. Because you gave me a chance to save her with my own strength…”

As he spoke, Shen Cheng regained his focus, his previously dull eyes becoming firm again.

“I will not give up!”
