Death League 101: I'm Dead In 10 Minutes!-Chapter 85: "Finale (3)"

Everyone’s faces turned ashen and some even choked on their breaths, almost fainting on the spot.

"Why is there a barrier??"

One of the survivors screamed and the monster behind him almost stabbed his chest.

The others were also distracted to a varying degree, everyone’s mind turned blank.

Yes, why a barrier? What’s the use of a barrier when the mall itself was burning and exploding from within?

But there must be a reason behind any arrangement inside the ruins.

"Is this...not the way out?"

"Maybe we have...have to exit through the doors and not the ceiling?"

But no one could even go through that sea of fire and ruins.

It would also be a matter of time before the exhibition hall collapsed.

By then, all of them would definitely die.

It’s a team wipe!

Another veteran with a clearer mind immediately retorted,

"No, there must be a way! No ruins are dead ends. In the end, these are games, and games aren’t built to be unsolvable!"

It was true that many ruins remained unsolvable and everyone inside died, but later, through the live broadcast recordings, everyone gradually came up with methods and possibilities for the challengers to survive.

It’s just that being the people involved, they couldn’t think of such a way in a short period of time, especially under severe pressure.

"Think again. We have completed the mission, it shouldn’t be too difficult to find a way out! The exit must have a connection with the mission."

It was one of the few female challengers who analyzed coldly and Leinster couldn’t help but recall his first ruin experience.

The exit was indeed the door but the door was a monster.

The mission back then was to find monsters and killed them.

If he didn’t notice that the door was a monster and had to be killed, he would have died.

So, the exit this time too must be connected to the mission, which was...to kill the guardian spirit?

Uh, could it be that the guardian spirit hadn’t truly died??

Or they had to resurrect her again?

Leinster’s alien brain couldn’t comprehend the puzzle but the smart female challenger could.

With others buying time and fighting monsters, she could think calmly.

"The guardian spirit, the bodies scattered everywhere, the fire and explosion in the mall..."

With so many intelligent monsters, this ruin was most likely the memory-type ruin or a time loop one where the ruin repeated the same incident several times.

If it was really a past time incident, then the mall would indeed explode in the end, it was...a dead end.

But there shouldn’t be the so-called guardian spirit, right?

Wait. Guardian— guardian spirit?

The female challenger’s eyes widened and she inhaled a cold breath sharply.

The explosion happened right after the guardian spirit died!

The guardian spirit was the one guarding the mall so when she died...the mall repeated the explosion incident again?

The scattered body parts must be because the guardian spirit died in the explosion, hence her body wasn’t intact!

So, all they needed now to stop the explosion from spreading...

Was to get a new guardian spirit?

It’s impossible to resurrect the old one or built a new body, ugh, this is another dead end.

No, no, think! Think!

The female challenger told the others about her speculation and strangely, Leinster’s heart skipped a beat.

It can’t be, right? It’s just...a coincidence, right?

But sharp-minded challengers among the Livestream audience immediately caught on, like a shark who smelled blood.

[Wait, that girl who got possessed!]

[Do you guys realize that the guardian spirit killed many challengers, using them as sacrifices?]

[The whole theme of this ruin was sacrifice!]

[Then, then, that girl who got possessed...is she the chosen sacrifice?]

[Kill her? No, no, what we need is a guardian spirit. But how do we make someone into a guardian spirit?]

The challengers who could read the Livestream audience’s comments immediately furrowed their eyebrows while looking at Seolhee’s unconscious body.

Seolhee’s friends and families who read the comments immediately flared.

[What nonsense are you guys spouting?! Liar! Murderer!] 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

[Criminal bastard, protect her! You can’t sacrifice her! She had saved your life before!]

[Damn, damn, is the guardian spirit so sick? She kept scheming even after her death!]

[I had a feeling that she truly wanted to die...so that there would be another person to inherit her mantle.]

[Wouldn’t whoever survived this ruin claim the ruin? Would they also be able to claim all the intelligent monsters and the new guardian spirit inside?]

[They won’t destroy it. This mall had so many unique items, the survivors would definitely be tempted!]

[But that girl...will she still be human after becoming a guardian spirit?]

The audience fell into a somber mood, and so did Leinster.

He didn’t want to believe his feeling, but the other veterans around him didn’t have time.

"How to make her into the new guardian spirit? Feed her to the monsters? Burn her and mutilate her??"

"Calm down, one wrong move and it will truly be a dead end!"

The ghost mother couldn’t bear to hear these people discussing Seolhee as if she was already dead and immediately retorted,

"Why is it only her? Can’t you guys also become a guardian spirit? Maybe you guys are even more suitable!"

Such words immediately sparked everyone’s vigilance but the monsters that kept slashing at them from behind forced these beasts with human skins to endure.

"It’s not time for an internal strive. I know you guys don’t want your friend to be a non-human being, but if she doesn’t, all of us will die."

The calm female challenger stated the truth and then she analyzed further, speaking as if the one being discussed wasn’t the only ordinary person in the whole group.

"I think that girl needs to be willing to become the new guardian spirit. We can’t kill her. She has to transform on her own."

"I’m sure that ever since she’s possessed, there’s already a seed inside her and she will eventually become a non-human being."

Seolhee has been corrupted. Her sanity value might have dropped to a dangerous degree already.

She can’t be saved.
