I Rely On Poverty To Sweep Through Survival GamesCh90 - Subway Station 13 (9)

After chasing away that bizarre hand, there were no other monsters that came running out to look for trouble. Xiao Lan simply sat in the last carriage and rested for a while.

In the meantime, Xiao Lan planned to take that black ticket as well. 9LRVyd

Although he still didn’t know if it was the white or black ticket that was the right one, he couldn’t go wrong by taking it with him first. If the black ticket happened to be the right one, they would still have to find another one so that the both of them could clear the game.

But a slender, black-gloved hand snatched the ticket away before he could pick it up.

Luo’s faint smile was the same. “Since I have all the past tickets, might as well let me keep all of them ba.”

Since this ticket was discovered on a corpse, no one could be sure if the danger that led to the player’s death had been triggered by this ticket. Naturally, the person who held onto the ticket would face more of an unknown threat. JpGzFU

Xiao Lan looked at Luo and felt that this person was like an old general who had flags stuck all over his back. Was this really… okay?

Seeing his worry, Luo merely smiled. “Sir, I am very hard to kill. Please do not worry.”

Even if he had been torn to pieces and all his memories were destroyed, to the point that he couldn’t even take a human form, he had still survived.

Xiao Lan looked at Luo’s gentle yet stubborn expression and gave up on persuading him.

He understood that Luo was doing this to fight against the danger of death in his place. Looking at it from the most beneficial point of view, having Luo deal with the dangers was certainly safer, but Xiao Lan didn’t feel like he could take pleasure in what Luo was risking with a clear conscience.

Xiao Lan took a deep breath. Since it was like this, he should do his best to clear games. The more he cleared, the quicker Luo would recover; this was the best reward for Luo.

It wasn’t long before the rumbling train reached the station again.

After the carriage doors opened, the platform outside was still just as dark as ever. It was a stark contrast to the bright carriage. Bright and dark, black and white, life and death. The players had to make a choice between these. epQY4j

Xiao Lan stood up and stepped into the darkness.

The two stepped onto the platform and intentionally avoided the area they had walked through, as they explored areas that they hadn’t visited before.

A putrid smell suddenly spread in the air. It was the smell of rotting flesh, and was so intense it was nauseating. The flashlight could only illuminate a short distance in front, so they still couldn’t see what was causing the smell for the time being.

Xiao Lan frowned and covered his mouth and nose before pressing forward. u9mRXd

After walking for some time, he then saw a human figure hanging in the air. That person was suspended by the neck with a rope and had been hung just like this. Who knew how long he had been dead for, but his body was severely rotten. There were several areas where the bone was exposed, and right below the body was a thick and sticky decomposition liquid.

The smell was clearly from this place.

In the light of his flashlight, the corpse’s features were hard to make out and the clothes were so contaminated by the rot that its original colour couldn’t be seen clearly. They could only vaguely tell that the clothes were in a modern style.

“Is this… a player?” Xiao Lan hesitated a little. NVk637

This was because since entering this game, it hadn’t been more than a few hours. Even if a player died, their corpse should be fresh. This sort of corpse whose appearance couldn’t even be discerned clearly was unlikely to be a player from this round of the game.

Could it be that the players in this round all entered at different times?

Judging from the map, the control room wasn’t far from where Xiao Lan was right now. There would definitely be information related to the station in this place, which was like the station’s central nervous system; perhaps it would help them clear the game.

Xiao Lan took a few steps closer to the corpse with the intent of studying the map closely.

Suddenly, there was the slight sound of friction above his head, which was accompanied by a sense of scalp-numbing danger. BvH9jY

Sensing something wrong, Xiao Lan suddenly took a step back and 【This is a dagger coated in highly toxic poison】 appeared in his hands. He directly swung the blade sideways as the cold light of the blade drew a line in the darkness.

Clang —

Xiao Lan clearly sensed his dagger collide with something hard. The next second, something black flashed past the range of the flashlight and disappeared upwards in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Lan aimed the flashlight upwards. fM2TmE

There was a ventilation duct in the ceiling, and the vent just happened to be over his head. The vent’s grate had already disappeared; it was dark inside, and the flashlight was completely unable to penetrate the darkness.

Just as he was about to turn his flashlight away, a pair of red eyes suddenly appeared in the darkness. The eyes that had been hiding in the darkness silently met his gaze.

Xiao Lan raised his guard and tightened his grasp on the dagger as he awaited the opponent’s attack.

After a moment, the eyes disappeared into the darkness, as if giving up on the intent to attack. HsKXtr

However, a black blade that seemed even darker than the night appeared from behind and attacked where the red eyes had disappeared.

“AH —”

A shrill and miserable scream rang out from within the ventilation duct in extreme fear and pain.

It was unexpectedly a human voice! 2nE8TU

Who knew how a human was able to move freely in such a narrow space and not produce a single sound as it lay in ambush. When it came to its speed, however, it was probably already no longer human.

The sharp scream gradually drew further away, and the sticky, dark red liquid which dripped from the vent indicated that this unknown monster hadn’t been injured lightly.

“Hehe, ran away ah…” Unexpectedly, there was a slight smile in Luo’s voice. “What a pity. If you had stayed behind, it might have been easier for you.”

The sensation of being slowly swallowed up by his power absolutely wasn’t as comfortable as directly facing death. Running away truly was a decision that made one feel sympathetic. FXt1Vs

Although Luo said that it was a pity, Xiao Lan sensed that his voice was brimming with delight. Look, his smile was so much happier ah.

Forget it, as long as he was happy.

Xiao Lan silently lit a candle for this unknown monster.

At that moment, Xiao Lan turned his head to look at the corpse that had been hanging there. 9IMB8w

Drawing players in with the corpse and setting up a map that held a clue behind the corpse to lure the players even closer, the thing hiding in the darkness would then launch a surprise attack from above while players were distracted.

This was simply a trap!

Moreover, was this person who was changed beyond recognition truly a player?

When he saw a player’s corpse, Xiao Lan would usually try to the best of his ability to help give them a burial. However, for this corpse that had already been turned into a trap and which might contain some hidden danger, he wouldn’t go so far as to become a Virgin Mary and risk getting hurt or even dying just to help some guy who could either be a player or NPC. Pmt4yB

One Luo was still bound to his life; he couldn’t squander that so recklessly.

“Let’s go and take a look at the control room,” Xiao Lan quietly said, and turned to leave this place.

The two walked to the location of the control room which they had seen.

When they arrived, they discovered that the place which should have been the control room had an extra wall that was built very shoddily. It had been painted very half-heartedly and they could even see the brick behind it. The whole thing exhibited a sense of hastiness. mSFDBE

“Looks like there’s really something inside. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have sealed it up like this,” Xiao Lan said as he scrutinised the wall.

It was just a wall; it naturally couldn’t withstand Xiao Lan’s wall-phasing technique.

After a moment and with the sound of a ‘boom’, the wall collapsed to reveal the locked door behind it. In Xiao Lan’s hands, the lock was, naturally, pitiful, weak, and helpless.

This sort of lock which wasn’t a challenge couldn’t even hold on for a second before it was opened just like that. QHA70L

Just as they were about to open the door, footsteps rang out in the darkness. The steps sounded neither hurried or slow, like someone taking a leisurely afternoon stroll around the garden.

It was only when the sound came closer that Xiao Lan could clearly see in the light of the flashlight two human-shaped shadows walking out of the distant darkness. They moved forward at the exact same tempo, as if they were mirror images.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

They had no facial features, but they had the exact same perfectly straight and long legs and the exact same tall and upright figure. Coupled with that neither hurried nor slow attitude, they looked incomparably familiar.

Xiao Lan turned to look at Luo beside him — opRvW6

And saw Luo curl his lip. “They’re here for me, sir.”

He took a step forward, welcoming the two black figures who were like his shadows.

The black figures also seemed to sense his fighting intent. They quickened their pace, and their silhouettes almost blended into the air as they split up and lunged at Luo from two directions.

Sharp, black claws ruthlessly clawed at Luo’s face. After he sidestepped them, they attacked once more. wlQpkv

On the other side, similarly sharp, black claws aimed at Luo’s neck, and seemed to want to ferociously chop his head off.

Luo and his other parts always went into battle mode where they fought to their last breath.

Because of an instinctual draw, they all understood that they could only become whole and possess even greater strength after engulfing the other. They didn’t care who was the main body; every part would spare no effort to swallow up stronger parts. It was to the extent that, in order to gobble up Luo, these two parts that only had their instincts left unexpectedly joined forces.

Luo appeared to be handling the pincer attack with ease. The incisive claws brushed past his cheek and were unable to harm even a fraction of his main body. NACtJI

After the left shadow’s attack failed, Luo’s figure instantly disappeared before him.

Before the shadow could react, chains formed from pitch-black shadows appeared in the next second to tie him down. The chains bit deep into the shadow’s body like a blade, as if wanting to pulverise him.

The shadow threw his head back and seemed to let out a soundless shriek.

He struggled frantically, but was unable to struggle free from the force that was holding onto him tightly. vyuV1Z

“Be good and listen to me, okay? I don’t want to reveal too ugly a manner of eating in front of sir.” There was a small smile in Luo’s voice, but his eyes were ice-cold.

His fingers twitched, and the strength of the chains increased once more, directly slicing to pieces the black figure that was still struggling.

The black fragments fluttered in the air and barely fell to the ground when they were absorbed by a black shadow that spread over the entire floor. They instantly disappeared without a trace, like raindrops falling into a lake.

When the other shadow saw the situation take a turn for the worse, he turned to run. His instincts were warning him wildly: Danger! Run! Hurry up and get away from that tempting-looking guy! AqjTas

However, it was already too late.

Or perhaps it had already been too late from the moment they decided to appear out of the darkness.

The shadow controlled by Luo pounced in the other shadow’s direction like a tide and instantly swept his body up. The tremendous pressure completely blocked off the space he existed in, leading to his resistance being so weak; he couldn’t even create a splash.

Standing in blackness that was deeper than the night, Luo’s tall and slender figure was upright, like a ruler of darkness: aloof and remote, and undefeatable. IukNQY

He withdrew the darkness which covered the floor and revealed a satisfied smile. He softly whispered in a voice that was deep as a cello, “Why do you want to struggle? In any case, the outcome is already foreordained…”

Xiao Lan watched Luo attack himself without any mercy and even a deep sense of joy. Deep suspicion couldn’t help but well up in his heart —

Was this guy a super S or a super M?

I beat myself up, and also feel an incomparable sense of joy.  7vgHoz

The author has something to say:

Luo: I’m handsome, rich, and also very strong.

Xiao Lan: But you might be a super M. MVEiTa

Luo: …
