170: ask

The Masked Man just watched the red-haired Girl, seemingly considering whether to agree to the punishment she proposed.

Just as everyone swallowed, the Masked Man's voice rang out again:

"Alright, you can leave this game, but please play the role of an observer."

The red-haired Girl felt the surrounding restraints disappear without a trace in an instant, then cautiously retreated backward.

It wasn't until she reached the wall that she realized there was nothing unusual about the mask on her face, and only then did she let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Not just her, but all Professionals and Demon Contractors showed a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

They had originally thought this game would continue to be a fight to the death until one side was completely annihilated, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

Especially some Professionals whose strength wasn't particularly strong, they were almost moved to tears.

No one truly wanted to die, especially in such a mysterious place.

The Masked Man continued to spin the wheel, once again selecting the next person to receive punishment.

This time, it was a somewhat slender Girl.

When this Girl was selected, Gu Qinghan noticed that Chu Tian, who was beside him, suddenly tensed up.

This Girl had already chosen the Truth segment, so at this point, she could only choose Dare.

Her opponent was a level 20 Demon Contractor.

In Gu Qinghan's eyes, this Demon Contractor was simply a weakling.

But in the eyes of most people, this was simply an insurmountable mountain.

The result was extremely cruel; the Demon Contractor killed the Girl as if she were a chicken.

Then, he threw her on the ground and stomped on her, crushing her.

He seemed to still not be satisfied, kicking the Girl's body fragments off the arena and looking at the Professionals below with a sinister gaze.

He had already received punishment three times; next time, he could also choose to withdraw from the game.

The Masked Man showed no reaction; after he made the Demon Contractor return, he spun the pointer again.

One by one, people were selected and received the given punishments.

Chu Tian suddenly looked at Gu Qinghan again, gritting his teeth and saying,

"I have a favor to ask you."

"No way, you're annoying."

Gu Qinghan refused without thinking; he wasn't bothered to meddle in that guy's affairs.

Chu Tian suddenly fell silent, but a few seconds later, he spoke again:

"If you help me this time, as long as you don't harbor ill intentions towards Huaguo and don't become a Demon Contractor, I will never bother you again."

"Lunatic."

Gu Qinghan was too lazy to even speak.

Chu Tian suddenly fell silent again; after half a minute, after another Professional was killed, he slowly spoke:

"Help me once, and in the future, I will help you with all my strength once, even if it means trading my life."

This time, Gu Qinghan suddenly turned his head to look at him, asking in confusion,

"Why do you like to trade lives with others so much?"

Chu Tian's peach blossom eyes looked directly at Gu Qinghan, saying,

"That's for situations where there's truly no other choice. Trust me, I, Chu Tian, keep my word."

Gu Qinghan pondered for a moment, then nodded lightly and said,

"Tell me about it."

Chu Tian hummed, then revealed his entire plan:

"Look, that one and that one are also the known military Professionals this time.

You've already been selected twice; the third time certainly won't be a problem.

What I want you to do is, if they don't die and you happen to be selected a fourth time, help them receive a punishment."

Gu Qinghan looked at Chu Tian with a strange expression, but thankfully, the mask prevented the other party from noticing.

He glanced in the direction of the two; their lips were tightly pursed, seemingly a bit nervous.

"You've been selected a fourth time; why would you still need me?

Judging by your performance just now, you can help them too, right?"

Chu Tian shook his head, his voice bitter as he said,

"I used a bit of special power just now, and I'll be somewhat weak for a short period. Fighting two more Contractors might lead to an accident.

I can't die, at least not here.

So, this time, consider it Chu Tian owing you a favor; I will definitely repay it later."

Gu Qinghan looked at him, asking somewhat amusedly,

"If you can't do it, why do you think I can?"

"Because I can tell you haven't used all your strength.

Moreover, someone who has topped the three rankings for so long shouldn't have any problem dealing with these things, right?"

Gu Qinghan twitched the corner of his mouth; this guy was actually starting to flatter him now.

However, he still agreed to the other party's request.

After all, these Contractors were already regarded as prey by Gu Qinghan, which just happened to help him complete his task.

The most crucial point was that Gu Qinghan would not have any psychological burden killing them.

Anyone who could become a Contractor must have countless innocent lives on their hands.

Just then, the pointer spun by the Masked Man slowly stopped in front of Gu Qinghan.

The Masked Man casually pointed to a Contractor, telling the two to engage in a death match.

Gu Qinghan slowly stepped onto the stage, but that Contractor hesitated to come up.

He had encountered some accidents before, and his current level wasn't even 20.

He had already witnessed Gu Qinghan's strength, so how could he dare to go on stage now?

Whether he went on stage or not, he would die.

Gu Qinghan grew impatient waiting, so he simply condensed a Bone Spear and asked the Masked Man,

"If he doesn't come up, does that count as a voluntary surrender?"

The Masked Man didn't speak, only nodded.

The Contractor suddenly realized something and instantly wanted to escape.

However, the mask on his face immediately burst into dazzling golden light, turning him into a pillar.

Gu Qinghan twitched the corner of his mouth; he actually had the second half of his sentence:

"If he forfeits, can I go down and kill him?"

But now, it was too late to say it.

Gu Qinghan returned to his position with some regret, watching the Masked Man spin the pointer again.

However, what no one expected was that the pointer, by chance, stopped at Gu Qinghan's position again.

"He only went through one battle and can already leave the game; his luck is too good."

"What good luck? His strength is almost comparable to Chu Tian's."

"I've only been selected once; I also want to leave the game..."

The people around immediately began to whisper with envy or sighs, turning their gaze to Gu Qinghan, who had been selected for the fourth time.

"You have successfully completed three punishments. For the fourth Dare, you can choose the content of the punishment yourself."

Gu Qinghan rubbed his chin, looked at the Masked Man, and what he said made everyone rub their ears:

"The punishment I choose is that all Professionals can, through transactions, hire me to complete their death matches for them."

As if worried the Masked Man wouldn't agree, he added,

"If not, then forget it; I'll think of another one."
