All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human

Chapter 498: The Terminally Ill Heiress on Death Game Island (14)

Each player will only be selected once a day.

The new players who have been selected for the game aren’t worried. Instead, they’re curious to see who will be picked next.

When the sound like flipping a deck of cards stopped, a mechanical, monotonous voice rang out: "Player A9, please arrive at the game venue within five minutes to participate. Missing the time will result in a penalty for breach of agreement."

A9?

The crowd was in an uproar. Isn’t that the ninth person among the first batch of players?

To have survived here for so long, a mixture of strength and luck is indispensable. They must have a very trustworthy team, right?

The new players who just arrived were all thinking this.

Qiann Yan paused. This person existed in the original owner’s memory and was a legendary presence on Death Game Island.

In fact, he wasn’t very old. He was only nineteen this year, yet to turn twenty. Qiann Yan was eighteen this year.

That means he existed since the island’s inception. Who knows when he was captured and brought here. Perhaps he was just a child when he arrived.

No one knew why player A9 was captured and brought here.

Everyone admired player A9. Without understanding him, they all thought he had a formidable and extraordinarily trustworthy team, the sort that would never falter.

However, the reality was shocking.

"Is it my turn again?"

A languid youthful voice reached Qiann Yan’s ears, laced with impatience.

She followed the voice to see a boy already descending from the stairs on the second floor. The boy was estimated to be close to six feet three, strikingly handsome albeit dressed quite simply in a light casual outfit paired with sneakers—a neat campus style.

He had one hand in his pants pocket as he sat down in the vehicle that would take him to the game venue.

The boy noticed one particularly odd gaze among many, and as he looked over, a sickly-looking girl was staring at him, her expression icy.

This piqued his interest. Was she a newcomer?

Typically, newcomers would be very surprised upon hearing his number, curious about him.

As for the veteran players, they usually watched him with admiration and excitement. Regardless of whether he could step off the platform, the veteran players would be very excited.

Yet, he was utterly weary of his current life. He was the ultimate veteran here, always able to choose the empty cage.

But he wasn’t happy, not in the least.

Everyone thought he was the luckiest person.

In reality, his luck was abysmal, practically non-existent.

However, he neither could nor wanted to explain to everyone. Such a disgraceful thing, there was no way he would expose himself.

Why did that sickly-looking, frail girl look at him so indifferently?

The boy stared at Qiann Yan’s face, eager to know why.

Qiann Yan met the boy’s gaze. His curiosity overturned the cold image she had in her memory of player A9.

The boy’s character collapsed.

Why did it suddenly collapse?

Soon, Qiann Yan understood. Perhaps she was too indifferent while others had expressive reactions towards the boy.

Even the original owner would show curiosity, contemplating how this boy managed to clear each round. No matter how challenging, he always picked the correct answer.

As for her, despite being curious inside, her expression showed no reaction, which drew the boy’s attention.

In the original owner’s memory, the boy died, completely ending his undefeated myth.
