9 The Third Level Had Only Just Begun...

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Nancy's eyes widened slightly. Her shock could not be concealed. The information he had given was something she had not expected. Furthermore, there was a lot of information in his words.

"Will he win?"

The repairman laughed, "I don't know. But even if his luck and courage are exhausted, there are still other players who can try. There are three levels in total, and he cleared two of them. No matter who wins in this third one, it will be a victory for all of you."

Nancy said, "So, as long as any player wins the third game, God's Game will be over and we humans will be free."

"Indeed."

He nodded as pity appeared in his smiling eyes again, "However, the game becomes more and more difficult as it progresses. If no one can clear all the levels, all the players can only continue to fight for their lives. The phrase 'doing nothing and waiting for victory' almost doesn't exist here. You can only fight for your lives while praying for the other players to clear the level as soon as possible."

For some reason, Nancy recalled the voice of the judge from the start: [Player No. 68316489].

So, up until now, nearly 70 million people had participated in this game.

Also, there were still players yet to join after her…

It was unknown how large this number would become.

In the first two games, only one person had survived.

However, the third level had only just begun…

The repairman thought that she was frightened, so he showed the gentleness and love of God again.

The benevolent God-like voice said soothingly, "Don't be afraid. Those who are chosen are all lucky. If you take a gamble that risks your life and death, winning will be a great honor."

Nancy bit her lip and stared at him, replying, "But losing means losing your life."

The repairman shook his head with a faint smile, "You will understand in the future that such sacrifices are noble."

Nancy asked, "How many rounds of games does the third level have?"

The repairman laughed softly.

His expression and aura were like that of a God statue filled with smiles, benevolence, and inclusiveness.

He said: "If your small body can take it, I don't mind saying more."

Nancy frowned and asked: "What do you mean?"

"Don't you know that there is a price to pay for learning divine secrets?"

"Human child, think about it, how much did you just hear…"

The divine voice came from all directions.

Even though his voice was not loud, she still felt dizzy. Such holiness was sacred and inviolable.

A golden divine light appeared in her vision, it was warm and peaceful.

That person disappeared.

Nancy was stunned.

She gritted her teeth.

This was definitely on purpose.

The powerful divine might withdrew, and the sinister and strange aura that originally belonged to this place surged over like a tide.

It was like an exchange between heaven and hell.

At the same time, footsteps came from the right. Felicia walked over and said, "There's no danger. We can go now."

Nancy nodded her head. Felicia had been gone for so long, but she had appeared right after the repairman left. Evidently, he had done something.

As the two of them walked to the right, Felicia was worried about Nancy's body and asked, "How do you feel?"

"Fortunately, my strength has recovered."

Felicia said, "Your body is too weak. After you leave the game, go see a doctor and take some health supplements."

"Yes." The girl nodded lightly, thinking about what the repairman had said before he left.

Was she suffering a backlash because she had heard too many things that a normal human should not know?

Then, what was the backlash?

...

The black cloth fluttered without any wind, like a black wave. If one was not careful, their face would be hit by it.

As the short-haired girl was distracted, she plunged into the black cloth.

Fear rose from her heart and rushed to her scalp.

She screamed as she pulled the black cloth away and stepped back.

Unexpectedly, something brushed past her back. With a gentle brush, a chill instantly rose from her feet.

As she turned around, the black cloth, which was a meter away from her, fluttered and rolled. Megalophobia was back.

The girl looked around uncontrollably.

Her vision was filled with black cloths, and the end of the huge cloths could not be seen.

They moved without wind, like a black wave, terrifying and frightening.

Visually, it gave people an invisible form of pressure.

This was a cage made of black cloths.

Like a shadow, they could not escape the black cloths no matter how far they ran.

The girl's eyes trembled violently, and her heartbeat quickened.

She opened her mouth to scream, it was a heart-wrenching scream.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!!!"

Suddenly, her eyes were covered by a pair of hands. She heard: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Don't think about the black cloths. Ignore them. Block them out of your mind."

The boy's voice was rather rough. If there was a third person here, they would be able to see that his face was also very pale, and even his lips were trembling.

He was afraid as well. After all, seeing the black cloth would cause considerable fear to people.

The longer they stayed here, the clearer the presence of the black cloth became.

As long as he stared at it, he would find it difficult to breathe and his entire body would break out in cold sweat.

The girl hugged him tightly and cried, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. If I was brave enough, we might have gotten the clue already. It's all my fault, sob… sob… sob… sob…"

The boy took a deep breath. "It's okay," he said, "I understand your fear. Take your time. We still have a chance."

"…There are only seven hours left. I don't know what I can do next. What should I do? What should I do?"

The girl broke down in tears and snot, staining the boy's shirt.

The boy's heart softened. He patted her back to comfort her, "It's okay. You have to adjust your mindset first. As long as you survive, we can still get out."

Feeling extremely guilty, the girl nodded and sobbed: "I'll definitely be able to do it next time. I can't drag you down anymore. Even if I go crazy from fear, I have to be brave for once."

The boy heard her words and felt both pity and heartache.

He was very good at feeling the emotions of others, so he could empathize with her fear.

They had never faced danger and fear so directly before.

It was only natural to feel fear when one was suddenly pulled into this appalling place.

They could only survive by forcing themselves to be strong and brave.

Everyone chosen by the game was pitiful.

They could only struggle to survive in the dangerous sea of black cloths.

When the girl's emotions calmed down, the boy said, "Don't think about anything. As long as you want to live, you will have endless power. A person's potential is limitless."

"Yes." The girl nodded while sobbing.

"Let's go."

The two of them continued to walk forward. The girl said softly, "Was the young and old man group really killed by the guardian beast?"

The boy was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I think so."

"I wonder how the other two groups are doing."

The boy said, "I hope they've already got the clue."

The girl suddenly thought of something and said, "Do you think we can go out together if they pass?"

The boy stopped in his tracks, looked at her, and said, "We're in the same game. The game will end after it is cleared. By that logic, it's very likely…"
