284: Chapter 284 Treasure Land 54
After Luo Yuejian finished saying "I'll go down," she really didn't dare to delay at all, fearing that a second's delay might bring about some unexpected change that would block her path to resurrection. So, she quickly headed straight toward the pool filled with black liquid.
Upon reaching the edge of the pool, there was no need to say anything; Luo Yuejian silently jumped directly into the black pool water.
The scene of instant melting she had imagined did not appear.
After jumping into the black pool water, Luo Yuejian dove in headfirst, trying her best to immerse her whole body in the black liquid, preparing to close her eyes and wait quietly for death.
As a result, one second... two seconds...
Although Luo Yuejian possessed the Pain Suppression skill, surely she would feel something if her body were melting away, right?
Luo Yuejian felt uneasy, her eyelashes trembling slightly, as she tentatively opened her eyes.
This black liquid was quite magical. From the outside, it looked pitch black, but once inside, the liquid all around appeared almost translucent, allowing the faint light from the outside to clearly refract down to the bottom of the pool.
This meant Luo Yuejian wasn't left in complete darkness, unable to see her own hand in front of her face.
She looked down at her hands and her intact body, unable to believe it.
Holy crap, why wasn't she dead? This wasn't scientific!
What was going on? Could the system have secretly given her an invincible buff? Otherwise, why hadn't she melted into a pool of blood like those Mutated Mandrills?
As soon as she thought of the slacker system, the slacker system popped up: "Host, have you forgotten the 100 skulls you all threw into the black liquid earlier?"
Hearing the slacker system's words, Luo Yuejian was startled; she had truly forgotten about that completely. But that was impossible, right? She had clearly stopped that group of players from continuing to throw skulls inside, hadn't she?
Could it be... could it be that she stopped them too late?
Luo Yuejian was truly filled with regret; mainly because she hadn't reacted fast enough and failed to quickly come up with a reason to stop those players.
This was just something that couldn't be helped; after all, intelligence is what it is, right? Even though Luo Yuejian felt some regret, she was relatively open-minded about such things.
After all, having stayed in the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game for so long, if she hadn't been open-minded, Luo Yuejian probably would have started taking the game seriously a long time ago.
She kept persisting now just for the sake of the pride in her heart. She felt that she couldn't possibly be that unlucky forever. Sooner or later, she would be able to slap the slacker system in the face.
However, there probably wouldn't be a chance in this round.
Because Luo Yuejian had already seen that at the bottom of the pool, in the center of the dense, mountain-like pile of skulls, there was a patch of empty space that looked completely like a vacuum state.
This empty space formed a stark contrast with the mountain of skulls surrounding it, as if it had been specifically reserved.
And in the center of this open space, a glistening diamond larger than a human head was standing there quietly.
The sheer size of this diamond and the light it emitted made it impossible for Luo Yuejian to ignore its existence.
If she hadn't guessed wrong, that must be the final treasure.
At this point, with the final treasure already right before her eyes, Luo Yuejian couldn't exactly swim back now and not take this diamond.
She had no choice but to swim unwillingly toward the bottom of the pool, still holding onto a final shred of hope. What if this big diamond was actually a trap?
After all, in the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game, such tropes were all too common. Often, just when players thought they were about to clear the level, they would suddenly discover that the so-called clearance item was actually hiding a secret, or was a deadly trap.
What if it just took her out in one go?
Luo Yuejian possessed the Underwater Breathing skill. At the bottom of such a pool, she was like a fish in water, able to move completely freely. Very quickly, she swam to the bottom of the pool and approached the giant diamond.
She used the metal rod in her hand, which had already melted, and tentatively poked the diamond.
However, the next second—as if an invisible force was pulling it, the brilliant diamond seemed to have been cast with magic. A strange attraction seemed to form between the diamond and the metal rod; they were like two magnets attracting each other, getting closer and closer.
Finally, the bottom of the diamond and the metal lotus flower at the tip of the metal rod fit together perfectly, as if they had originally been one whole piece, without the slightest gap.
Luo Yuejian: ? What was going on?
She was astonished, her face full of confusion, staring blankly at the metal rod in her hand...
What the hell... Transformers?
However, judging by its shape, this metal rod could no longer really be called a metal rod.
At this moment, it looked more like a "scepter," with the metal lotus flower embedded with the diamond at the top acting like the finial of a scepter, appearing exceptionally dazzling.
The moment the scepter was born, a soaring white light rose from the bottom of the pool, shooting straight into the sky.
With the white light shining on her face, Luo Yuejian: ... She closed her eyes in despair.
The few players who were originally standing by the edge of the pool above were all nervously staring at the black pool water.
Ever since the White-haired Girl jumped into the pool water, there hadn't been a single sound. It was as if the White-haired Girl had also instantly melted just like those Mutated Mandrills from before.
"Is she... is she dead?" the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket asked, his face full of nervousness.
The Plump Boss shook his head, frowning without saying a word.
Judging by the current situation, it seemed that the White-haired Girl had indeed died. But given the wisdom and strength the White-haired Girl had displayed earlier, he really couldn't believe that she had just died so casually.
And it was the other party who had voluntarily gone to her death. How could that be possible?
Therefore, they all stared fixedly at the pool filled with black liquid, wanting to see if any changes would appear.
And just as they were feeling anxious, a pillar of white light suddenly shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire space. The dazzling white light was extremely piercing, causing the few players who had been walking in the darkness for the latter half of this game to involuntarily squint their eyes.
However, none of them closed their eyes. The expression on everyone's face was somewhat shocked.
The Plump Boss stared intently at the beam of light, his expression extremely complex. He had originally thought that the White-haired Girl was already dead. Who could have imagined that she would clear the level just like this?
In previous Miracle Escape Live Stream Games, he had always been the leader of the entire player team. He hadn't expected that in this round, he would have almost no presence, constantly being led by the White-haired Girl.
As expected, there were still many formidable players in the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game.
"Cleared the level... she really did it..." the Doctor with a low ponytail tilted her head back, her face illuminated brightly by the white pillar of light. She murmured to herself.
Seeing the reactions of the Doctor with a low ponytail and the Plump Boss, the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket also knew that they could end this round of the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game.
His heart was incomparably excited. Thinking back on the thrilling experiences of this game, the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket was almost choking up: "We cleared the level?! We survived! That's great!"
And while they were feeling complex or excited emotions, Luo Yuejian had already walked into the white pillar of light with an indifferent expression, her figure disappearing in an instant.
