Chapter 51

“But so what if you figured it out? I already have four Fiends with me. What can you possibly do?”

As Liu Sibo spoke, he waved a hand, but the four Fiends behind him did not move.

“What are you doing? Hurry up and attack!”

Liu Sibo glared at the four Fiends behind him and shouted furiously.

But the four Fiends still stood completely motionless.

John found it strange too. Why weren’t they moving?

He turned his head and saw Liu Ye tear a page out of the Notebook in his hand, then wipe the sweat from his brow.

On that page, a line of text could be seen clearly.

Location: Hospital.

Cause of death: Ground collapse.

“Brother Liu, where did you get that Notebook?” John asked blankly.

“Huh? It was right by the door. You want one? I’ll tear you off a page!”

Liu Ye flipped open the Notebook and saw a name written on the first page: Liu Sibo.

This was Liu Sibo’s Notebook!

And all the dangers they had encountered before had appeared because they had been written in the Notebook!

Then the reason these Fiends weren’t moving might also be because Brother Liu had gotten his hands on that Notebook!

John understood in an instant. Brother Liu had clearly already seen this step coming, so he had prepared in advance.

As expected of someone who saw three moves ahead with every step.

As for why Brother Liu hadn’t acted himself, it was obviously because he was giving John a chance! If Brother Liu solved everything on his own, John’s rating would be terribly low.

Brother Liu was clearly looking out for him.

Liu Sibo saw it too. He had no idea he owned such a Notebook, and he shouted in shock and anger, “How did you know that thing existed?”

“Didn’t you tell me to come get it?” Liu Ye said, somewhat speechless.

In the movie back then, Liu Sibo had been the one who asked him to come over and help take the Notebook out.

It was just that Liu Sibo himself had no memory of it at all. In his panic, he lunged toward Liu Ye.

But how could John possibly let him get close to Liu Ye? With a flip of his hand, a dagger appeared in his grip, and he charged at Liu Sibo.

On Liu Sibo’s side, when he saw John rushing at him, he hurriedly grabbed a chainsaw beside him and used it to block John’s attack.

It had to be said that Liu Sibo was not a Fiend, so his physical condition was not particularly impressive. But John had also been ambushed by him earlier, so he was in very poor shape as well.

The two of them ended up fighting on roughly equal footing.

Liu Ye was still a little confused, but by now he knew this guy was no good. This man had killed someone named Zhao Ze, then impersonated him.

So he quickly tried to go help John, but John shouted, “Brother Liu, don’t worry about me! Go do what you need to do!”

“What I need to do?”

Liu Ye froze for a moment, then suddenly understood. John meant for him to call the police!

But Liu Ye patted himself down. He didn’t have a phone.

“Uh, Brother Yang, did you bring a phone?”

“I did!”

Fu Yang hurriedly unlocked the phone he had on him, then handed it to Liu Ye.

But Liu Ye was dumbfounded the moment he took the phone. What was this thing? He had no idea how to use it. The only phone he had used before was the village’s old Xiaolingtong. He couldn’t make heads or tails of a modern smartphone.

On top of that, Fu Yang’s phone interface was a total mess, with all kinds of apps crammed together. Liu Ye finally managed to find a familiar green button, only to accidentally tap the wrong thing.

“Timi!”

The loud sound rang out. In an instant, Fu Yang, who was sitting on the ground, and John and Liu Sibo, who were locked in combat, all fell silent.

What was this? Watching a real-life PK wasn’t exciting enough, so he wanted to start a round in-game too?

And at that moment, Liu Sibo seized the chance to pick up the crumpled page Liu Ye had torn off and dropped on the floor.

In that instant, words actually began appearing on it by themselves.
Kill everyone!

“Hahahaha! Let’s see how you survive this time!”

Shlick!

The sound of a sharp blade sinking into flesh rang out. Liu Sibo stiffened and looked down at his chest, only to find a long saber had pierced straight through him. He glanced back and saw Xie Baoguo standing there with half his head missing.

In that instant, he understood. From beginning to end, he had never been controlling these four Fiends. Someone had merely made him believe he was controlling them.

“Kill everyone” obviously included him.

“My whole life really was a joke.”

Liu Sibo laughed bitterly in his heart. He had schemed and calculated everything, only for it all to come to nothing. Memories of his life flashed through his mind… No! Wait! This isn’t my life!

“No, I’m not! This isn’t mine, I’m not…” Liu Sibo suddenly shouted in agitation.

Before he could finish, Lyu Jicheng clamped a hand over his mouth.

Beside him, Zhao Na spat a mouthful of thick green fluid onto his body, and he melted away in an instant.

Immediately afterward, a ragged Fiend formed over Liu Sibo’s corpse.

After dealing with Liu Sibo, the Fiends immediately turned their attention to Fu Yang.

Fu Yang let out a terrified yelp and hid behind Liu Ye.

The scene left Liu Ye a little confused, because from his point of view, Liu Sibo had been stabbed, fallen to the ground, and then gotten back up again.

As for the other Fiends beside him, they looked no different from ordinary people in his eyes.

“What the heck is going on here?”

The scraps of paper that had fallen to the floor were still writing nonstop.

Seeing this, John quickly jumped over, picked up the scraps, and tossed them to Liu Ye.

“Brother Liu, catch!”

Liu Ye caught the ball of paper instinctively. The moment he did, the words on the scraps stopped moving, and the Fiends stopped as well.

“Whew…”

John let out a breath of relief. They were finally safe.

Fu Yang, standing beside him, had nearly wet himself from fear.

“L-Let’s get out of here already!” Fu Yang said, trembling. He could not stand to stay in this damned place for even another second.

John nodded in agreement. After all, he was still injured.

Liu Ye, however, walked over to Liu Sibo and the others. Looking at the motionless figures, he gave them a few amazed pats.

“This is incredible. They really aren’t moving at all. No wonder technology outside is so advanced now. A single Notebook can control people. This must be that legendary love, huh?”

“Love?”

Fu Yang blinked, then cautiously said, “Brother Liu, do you mean AI?”

“Right, love. Look, there are so many outside. They must all be love-I, right?” Liu Ye said with a grin.

When Fu Yang and John heard that, they immediately ran outside. But the moment they reached the open air, they froze.

The outside was packed with Fiends.

Countless Fiends stood there, staring fixedly at them.

In an instant, John realized these people must have all been tourists who had come to the island. They had all been killed and turned into Fiends here.

John sank to the ground, utterly despairing. With this many Fiends, even with Brother Liu here, there was no way they could break through.

Most importantly, those Fiends had not been controlled by the Notebook in Liu Ye’s hand. One after another, they began walking toward the three of them.

John looked at the army of Fiends before him, and his eyes grew resolute.

He had never been the type to sit around and wait for death. Even if he was going to die, he would drag them down with him!

He took out the severed finger he had obtained from Jack, planning to release the Fiend inside the moment they came over.

But just as he was about to risk his life, a hand patted Fu Yang, who was sitting on the ground.
