There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

```

"Hiss!"

When the chili powder suddenly hit the wound in his mouth, Sword Without End couldn't help but gasp. Hurriedly, he grabbed a glass of chilled beer and guzzled it down, "First time eating barbecue with injuries like these, still not quite used to it."

After slamming down a cup of beer, Tuberculosis Rabbit didn't reach for another skewer but instead lit a cigarette and took several deep drags before speaking through the thin blue smoke with a laugh.

"At that final moment, my deepest regret was not lighting a cigarette before blacking out. It would have been too pitiful if I had died."

"But Sword Without End, you kid, not many can handle the habits Yi and I have."

"Most people would avoid smoking, drinking, greasy, and spicy foods after being injured."

"I did put you in a tough spot, sharing the injury with me."

"It's nothing,"

Sword Without End shook his head, looking at Tuberculosis Rabbit with some confusion, "But did something happen in there? How did you get so badly injured, and you were in there for almost an hour?"

He was stunned when he saw the extent of Tuberculosis Rabbit's injuries.

He admitted the map was challenging.

A replica exactly like you, with slightly superior physical abilities.

If it weren't for the fact that he managed to break the replica's psychological defense with his Heart Demon, he might have also ended up injured to get out alive, or it wasn't impossible to even die in there.

But... Tuberculosis Rabbit's injuries were too exaggerated.

It was only after sharing the injuries could he truly grasp how severe Tuberculosis Rabbit's wounds were.

Small and large all over, nearly fifty different cuts.

There were almost three through-and-through wounds on the shoulders.

Some of the skin wounds were considered just scratches compared to the rest.

To walk out with such injuries was nothing short of a medical miracle. Normally, a person would be dead already, not able to walk out at all.

Even to speak normally with a smile before passing out.

It felt like he had been getting tortured for an hour.

Chen Yi didn't speak, just filled another glass of beer for Tuberculosis Rabbit and, lighting a cigarette of his own, leaned against the snow sled, patiently waiting for Tuberculosis Rabbit's reply.

However, the fluctuation in his eyes hinted that he wasn't as calm as he appeared.

He and Tuberculosis Rabbit had suffered many injuries before.

But this time was definitely the worst of them all, no contest.

He thought back to those scenes he had seen in the cinema.

In that Life Cinema.

Tuberculosis Rabbit died, Sword Without End died, he died, Tie Chui and Jiaye died, everyone died.

Although he was aware that was just a possible future scene.

But at the moment Tuberculosis Rabbit blacked out, his heart had abruptly stopped.

No pain, no grief.

It was just a sudden stop of the heart, making him feel like everything he would do after Tuberculosis Rabbit's death would become meaningless.

If he were an actor,

Then Tuberculosis Rabbit was his only audience.

With the audience gone, there was no longer any need for the actor to remain on stage.

"Hey."

Tuberculosis Rabbit cursed under his breath, clearly irritated, "This damn upgrade in the game, so full of bugs. They fix bugs every month, and yet there are still so many."

"A game based on realism, and it has so many bugs!" Continue your journey with My Virtual Library Empire

"What a joke!"

"Right after I went in, there were like a hundred replicas in that cinema, each holding a Tang Blade in their hand!"

"You guys know, the replicas' physical abilities are slightly better than ours."

"Man, this is like 1v100, straight to a royal flush from the start!"

"I saw this and scoffed, thinking a mere hundred dares to be unruly before me. Then I started a massive spree, taking down four or five replicas with every swing of my blade!"

```

"They're just a bunch of chickens and mutts, not worth mentioning!"

Tuberculosis Rabbit was on a roll, a cigarette wedged between his fingers as he excitedly waved his arms about, boasting with effort—he was shirtless, his upper body wrapped in bandages, looking like a street bum who just came back from a brawl at a barbecue stand, bragging over a drink.

"Impressive!"

Sword Without End also gave a thumbs up, his face full of admiration as he timely flattered!

Chen Yi's mouth twitched into a slight smile as he leaned against the sled, his left hand resting on his drawn-up knee, holding a glass of wine and gazing into the distance, drinking to himself intermittently.

All three of them were shirtless.

Their bodies were completely wrapped in bandages.

They looked quite comical.

The group had no intention of continuing on to the next ruins. Instead, they planned to heal their injuries first, after a generous application of healing props had been spread out and their wounds had been distributed evenly.

Tuberculosis Rabbit had already completely escaped the risk to his life and everyone's injuries were healing quickly.

...

"Please, let nothing happen, please, let nothing happen."

Jiaye kneeled on the ground with a worried face, his eyes brimming with anxiousness as he looked at a rabbit doll on the altar in front of him, his voice hurriedly praying nonstop.

"Blessed Rabbit God, please keep Chen Yi and Tuberculosis Rabbit safe and sound."

"If you really need company down there, take Sword Without End. He's good with words, and if you take him down, he'll keep you entertained with his chatter."

"Chen Yi and Tuberculosis Rabbit both have sharp tongues; they'll probably just end up annoying you."

Jiaye, not even aware of what he was saying, continued to pray lowly and anxiously, full of concern.

"Sis... sis."

While bandaging his own wounds, Tie Chui looked towards the rabbit doll on the altar with a somewhat vacant gaze: "I... am slow-witted, but I... know how to use Baidu."

"I just searched... there's no such thing as a Rabbit God."

"Did you... pray to the wrong deity?"

"No."

Jiaye didn't even lift his head: "Both Chen Yi and Tuberculosis Rabbit have the character for 'rabbit' in their names, they're family. It should be appropriate to pray to the Rabbit God for them."

"Oh... but don't you like Chen Yi? Why pray for Tuberculosis Rabbit as well?"

"If Tuberculosis Rabbit died, Yi would be upset, and I don't want him to feel sad."

"Oh."

Tie Chui nodded silently. It seemed Sword Without End's status wasn't that high, after all.

He said no more but continued to bandage himself in silence. Even though he worried about Yi, without a pass, he could no longer enter the Death Domain Map, so all he could do was wait outside for the outcome.

He just wasn't in a rush, that's all.

The strength of Yi far surpassed his own; if Tie Chui could clear a map, there was no reason for Yi to encounter trouble inside one.

In his eyes, Jiaye's worries were completely unnecessary.

"Tie Chui!"

Jiaye suddenly realized something, turned around sharply, and looked at Tie Chui behind her: "Do you think Yi suddenly entered the Death Domain to save us? Otherwise, they should be passing through a squad map right now. It makes no sense for them to suddenly come to a B-level map."

"I don't know."

Tie Chui shook his head gravely.

He truly didn't know; Yi hadn't said anything, so how could he possibly know.

Jiaye, who had just shown a flash of joy, once again looked forlorn as he knelt on the ground staring at the rabbit doll on the altar, lost in thought for no telling how long, before suddenly speaking up.

"I've made up my mind. Once Yi comes out of the map this time, I'm going to confess my feelings to him."

"Oh."

Tie Chui nodded and said nothing further, but suddenly he remembered the experience Tuberculosis Rabbit had taken him to at Silver Party—perhaps this was the taste of love? It turned out love had a flavor.

It tasted somewhat salty, like the sea breeze.
