Un-edited so please don’t kill me if you find anything wrong, please gently commenting so I can fix it. Thank you.

Liu Xin’s expression quickly changed.

Du Wei had his back turned so Fang Daichuan could not see his expression. His body was firmly pressed by Fang Daichuan’s arm and his muscles were tense.

“You’re playing like this, it’s a little bit disrespectful to your character cards.” Liu Xin’s face was ashen, he can only regret that he talked too much, giving Li Sinian a chance to turn the tables. He should just flip the card and activate the skill, why bother explaining?

Fang Daichuan was actually so nervous that his leg was shaking and his stomach was churning. His brain is never his strong point, to be able to come up with such a trick in the middle of confrontation between Liu Xin and Li Sinian is already a blessing from Heaven. This is thanks to him being an actor that always plays the role of soy sauce.* He once had the “experience” of kidnapping the protagonist’s relatives and being shot away by the protagonist. At this moment, Fang Daichuan has almost exhausted his life’s acting skills, pretending to be confident so that Liu Xin can’t turn the tide. He sneered: “You said I don’t respect my character card? Which of you people here has ever respected the character card? The hunter wants to take away the seer. Lovers play for the werewolf. Is this called respecting the character cards? – Let’s just get to the point. You take Li Sinian away, I will poison Du Wei, anyway, I don’t love Li Sinian’s mother, no matter what I lose nothing.”

(T/N : Soy sauce here is a Chinese meme, basically it means ‘I am just someone who is passing through’ so in this context Chuan’er is an actor that got very little screen time he is basically just ‘passing through’ the movie. Link for more info)

“The speech time is over, does player Liu Xin confirm the activation of the skill?” the machine urged.

Liu Xin glanced at the audience and quickly calmed down. He sneered: “Activate the skills, change the target from Li Sinian to Fang Daichuan!”

You drive a hard bargain, Fang Daichuan’s back molars almost shattered, the muscle in his lower belly spasm violently, the pain causing him failed to control his expression for a moment, the corners of his mouth grimacing for a second.

Liu Xin tilted his head proudly, and said to Li Sinian: “The witch gives you an antidote and even shielded you twice, Li Sinian, you are amazing. I won’t take you, I will take Fang Daichuan. I want to see, how can you win if you are left alone?”

Li Sinian’s expression was extremely cold. He was able to laugh with his mouth crooked just now, but at the moment he couldn’t even squeeze a smile out of the corner of his mouth. He stared at Liu Xin, he spat out several words between clenched teeth.: “It doesn’t matter if I don’t win, I will just take Du Wei out, a life for a life, as you said before, it is a bargain.”

No one dared to speak, no one dared to escape, fearing that they would be Liu Xin’s next target. In this situation, self-preservation is the first thing, as long as it’s not your own head on stake, who wants to take a risk? This is human instinct.

The machine went silent for a long time and seemed to be analysing the command.

The silence is heavy, everyone is waiting for a hammer, waiting for the final judgement.

Because of fear, Fang Daichuan’s brain was full of white light, the blood circulating at high speed and he could hear his heavy breathing. At this moment Fang Daichuan’s soul seems to have been split in two. One half is thinking that his previous thoughts were wrong. Before death, people don’t remember their life like a movie. The other half is pulling his ears and yelling, we are in this situation and you are still reflecting on your acting skills? ! Why don’t you think about how to live well? !

However, another Fang Daichuan stood up and beat the two villains, the other Fang Daichuan than said: “Don’t think about it, we won’t get out of this alive, you should now think about whether you should give up the plan and pour poison into Du Wei’s mouth before dying.”

In such a suffocating panic, the machine silently makes a “Di–” sound.

“Command not recognized. The speech time is over, does player Liu Xin confirm the activation of the skill?”

What happened? Fang Daichuan’s expression was a little puzzled. He turned his head to look at Li Sinian, but saw that Li Sinian’s expression was even more puzzled than his.

If it weren’t for the grim atmosphere, Fang Daichuan even wants to laugh, he is mentally prepared to die. After a long mental agony, the machine didn’t recognize the command?

Liu Xin glanced left and right and repeated it again, this time he spoke very slowly: “Change the skill target and take Fang Daichuan away.”

The machine paused for another two seconds then repeated: “Command not recognized. The speech time is over, does player Liu Xin confirm the activation of the skill?”

A dead silence.

Li Sinian suddenly sneered out, breaking the silence: “It seems that when our boss set up the machine, he didn’t give the hunter a chance to back out. Either shoot me and Fang Daichuan poison Du Wei; or you die yourself and don’t fire this shot. Liu Xin, you have been racking your  brain but unfortunately this time, God is on my side.”

Liu Xin’s face was ashen.

The machine is still urging: “The speech time is over, does player Liu Xin confirm the activation of the skill?”

The electronic voice was like a death spell*, Liu Xin’s face became increasingly pale. He looked at Du Wei, who looked at him with a pleading look as thunder rolled outside the window.

(T/N : Alright so, this is [催命符[cuī mìng fú]] and this basically means ‘a talisman made to quicken someone’s death’ so I shortened it to death spell. This is a note since when I googled death spell I got the impression that death spell is something that immediately kills or something like that which is not the exact translation.)

He couldn’t help but feel a little sad in his heart.

“Forget it.” Liu Xin lowered his head and sighed heavily, “Li Sinian, let’s make a deal. – I won’t take you away so don’t kill Du Wei.”

Fang Daichuan’s heart settled a little.

Li Sinian hesitated for half a second: “As long as he doesn’t calculate me and Fang Daichuan, I will never touch him.”

Machine: “The speech time is over, does player Liu Xin confirm the activation of the skill?”

Liu Xin ignored the machine and stared into Li Sinian’s eyes: “Make an oath, if you break it, you will die violently and fall into the fire prison forever; never to see your loved one again.”

“The speech time is over, does player Liu Xin confirm the activation of the skill?”

“Shut up!” Liu Xin shouted at the machine, turned his head and shouted, “Li Sinian! I want you to swear!”

Li Sinian closed his eyes: “I swear.”

Liu Xin looked up at the monitor on the ceiling and laughed wildly: “Don’t activate skills! Don’t activate skills! Shoot me! You shoot me hahahahahahaha…”*

(T/N : Yes I counted, author use 7 ha [哈] )

“Bang–“

There was a brief gunshot and a thin wisp of smoke rose from the muzzle of one of the guns in the corner of the house.

Only then did Fang Daichuan regain his senses. He felt his back soaked through and his entire shoulders were stiff and numb.

Du Wei made a few whimpers-like sounds. He lifted Fang Daichuan’s choke and rushed to Liu Xin’s side. His eyes were wide and dry underneath, not a tear in sight, only the unbearable cry of a dying beast emanating from his throat, which was unbearable to hear.

“Ah…ah!” Du Wei howled in silence, clenching his fists on his chest, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, without content, only infinitely complex emotions blended into it.

Liu Xin was shot through his chest by a bullet, but he was still hanging on, refusing to give up.

Li Sinian, his adversary, cannot bear to see it. He sighed softly: “Don’t worry, since I made an oath, I will keep it. No matter what Du Wei’s identity is, as long as he won’t touch me, and I won’t touch him.”

A tear escaped between Liu Xin’s closed eyes, the large teardrop running down the side of his face and into his sideburns as a sound escaped his throat, he finally let out his last breath.

Du Wei then burst into tears.

He wailed and beat the ground frantically, as if to vomit out his heart to save the one lying on the ground.

It was a stranger who lay down his life for him.

(T/N : Updated image. I am kind of fond of Liu Xin. He should choose a better person to fall in love with but it is not his fault. Anyway, if Liu Xin did not kill boss Du, who did?)
