PDLP Chapter 19 A Small Condition
Chapter 19 A Small Condition
Inside the terrifying space.
Overwhelmed by the successive blows, Yang Lan's legs gave way, and she knelt on the ground in an M-shape, muttering something under her breath.
The Free Spirit doesn't even need to use its abilities.
The fact that the negative energy in the instance is increasing so rapidly already tells it the answer.
+30, +30, +30
……
I'm already on my third baby's litter and I'm about to break down.
Unfortunately, your master instructed that you would be reborn as a baby until you begged me to stop.
"It's almost time, time for the next playthrough."
After Yang Lan left, another flash of white light appeared.
Another contestant, Wang Heng, was teleported back after dying.
His expression was dejected, and his face was weak, like a sponge that had been squeezed dry, or a panda who had been working overtime for 72 consecutive hours.
Wang Heng is a Chinese internet celebrity who frequently posts negative comments about China. He has visited the Meilika tourist area several times and has witnessed its beauty firsthand.
He posed for a photo with seagulls and ate a donut, then boasted online that not only is the air in Laomei sweet, but even the donuts there taste better than those in China.
It is jokingly called "donut" by Chinese netizens.
During his live stream, Donut King Heng also made a classic congratulatory remark: "May my brothers be reborn in America in their next life."
Now, his wish has come true.
After experiencing two rounds of death, Wang Heng was listed by the Free Ghost as a high-quality negative energy harvester, and his deeds in the human world were thoroughly investigated.
After the negotiations were completed, Wang Heng voluntarily accepted the terms and chose to keep his identity as a child.
The result is obvious.
Different beginnings, same ending.
Different faces, different children, and the inescapable death.
They were either sold or thrown away.
Looking at the ever-increasing settlement amount on the page.
$42 million.
Although Wang Heng could no longer remember how many times he had died after being reborn as a child.
He calculated that he had been reincarnated as a child and died 30 times.
Every day is a cycle of dying and waiting to die.
Seeing the Free Ghost's smile, Wang Heng felt a chill run down his spine.
He vaguely remembered that when he died in the second playthrough and angrily asked the free ghost for a fixed identity, the free ghost had the same expression.
"Wang Heng, you're tired of being a child, aren't you? Besides, with just over nine months left, it's simply impossible for you to earn $42 through ordinary means."
"I have a good suggestion. If you accept it, I can raise the target amount back to 100,000."
After listening, Wang Heng smiled wryly and said, "Do I have any other choice?"
"What are the conditions?"
"The condition is that you voluntarily give up the [property reset] when selecting a character! After each death, all property will be inherited in the next round, and so will debt."
"What if I refuse?"
Loss of property reset.
Doesn't that mean that if Wang Heng died with 0 attacks left in the previous playthrough, he will start the next playthrough with 0 attacks left?
The money was less, but the bills related to his identity were still there, which basically eliminated any possibility of passing through customs.
"I can refuse. After all, I am a kind-hearted ghost, and I have a second plan."
The free spirit spread his hands, completely unconcerned.
"The second option?"
"After death, your soul will remain in the instance for a period of time."
It sounds perfectly normal.
Wang Heng did not hesitate any longer and chose the latter.
He's had enough of being reborn as a child and then quickly dying in the same cycle. What's the difference between that and being "killed as soon as you land"?
"Since it's confirmed, then good luck!"
As he spoke, the Free Ghost handed three identity cards to Wang Heng.
He lowered his head and squinted his eyes.
Wang Heng pondered, "Delivery drivers, street vendors, shop clerks?"
If I had to choose one of these three, I probably wouldn't be worse off than a food delivery driver, right?
……
A few seconds later, Wang Heng made his choice and officially broke free from the loop.
As time went on.
After Yang Lan circulated the baby 10 times, she finally couldn't take it anymore and returned to the Free Ghost Space.
She originally wanted to kneel down and apologize, begging the other person to stop the loop.
But because the scene of the free ghost eating in front of them was so unrestrained, they couldn't help but forget what they were about to say.
"Oh, Yang Lan, so you're finally coming to talk to me?"
Inside the room, the Free Ghost didn't look this way.
He kept repeating the same actions, crossing his legs and pressing the remote control to watch the players' death videos, while also placing a sticky food with an unusual stench on the table.
In addition, there's disco music and food that you dance to.
The pungent smell hit Yang Lan's head.
Add to that the food on the table, which could only be censored with mosaics, and it was not only horrifying but also nauseating.
What made Yang Lan even more uneasy was that Free Ghost picked up a piece of candied apple and put it in his mouth to eat right in front of him.
Crunchy.
Click, crackle.
Pfft!
A jet of thick insect fluid splattered out.
Yang Lan was so frightened that she almost lost her mind and hurriedly jumped to the right to avoid it.
"Sorry, the candied apples were so delicious that I couldn't resist. They were so crisp, juicy, and bouncy, they might even be like your Chinese 'pissing beef balls.' You could even use them to play table tennis."
Upon hearing this, Yang Lan, unable to hold back any longer, turned around and went outside to vomit for ten minutes.
The Free Ghost felt a pang of sadness: "This is truly disheartening. I shared all the good food with you, and you didn't appreciate it, but why did you have to vomit in front of me?"
Yang Lan inwardly groaned: I didn't want to either, but the food on your table smelled so pungent. I've seen disgusting things, but I've never seen anything as disgusting as yours.
Previously, the strange occurrences in dungeons were all overt, and the atmosphere was eerie enough to increase Yang Lan's tolerance to some extent.
Only after the free spirit finished eating did the other party come in to discuss business.
"...Want to end the loop? Fine. I'll give you two choices..."
Just like with Wang Heng, I explained the consequences of the two choices to the other party.
Let her take responsibility for it herself.
Ultimately, Yang Lan and Wang Heng made the same choice and both got the job of food delivery driver.
……
At this moment, Labilins, who had been watching the whole thing from outside, finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked You Xing about it.
"Was it intentional or accidental?"
"Each time, they are reincarnated as babies, and then their lives are ended in various different ways."
"Isn't that a bit too deliberate?"
You Xing shook his head, without giving a direct explanation.
Instead, tap the screen to bring up the actual data.
"The following data comes from authoritative beauty institutions and the U.S. Terror Copy Bureau. The data is highly reliable."
Labilins blinked. "Too many numbers, I don't understand."
He sighed helplessly.
You Xing drew several circles with a red pen to highlight the relevant content.
"According to authoritative data analysis, many newborns in Meilika were abandoned by their parents."
"Babies abandoned in garbage trucks and sent to churches account for an estimated 10% to 30% of the total, a phenomenon that is particularly prominent in developed cities in the central region."
"Many universities have even established similar childcare facilities for university mothers to entrust their children to care services."
"The difference between 10% and 30% is too big. Is this really accurate?"
The executioner's lips twitched as he told the White Demon the horrific truth.
"Because the 10% figure from research institutions is preliminary data, while the figure from professional recycling agencies is 30%."
"There are still some that haven't been included in the statistics."
Labilins was utterly speechless.
I initially thought it was You Xing deliberately manipulating things to target Yang Lan.
So, it turns out that Mirika has always been this perverted.
