to arrange a marriage between Wu Yishan and Du Yi.As fellow Five Great Generals, they were a match made in heaven. At the time, Old General Wu had come with Wu Yishan. The two young men met privately,...Ripples heard the words of the Rakshasa woman, raised an eyebrow, and an extra dagger appeared in her hand. It was the sinister weapon she had taken from the vengeful spirit before, then leisurely said:

"Si Tu Yi, what do you mean by this Are you trying to pit me against the veteran players"

Sistr Yi's face was slightly pale, his hand still touching the transparent silk thread on his neck, he stammered:

"No no I didn't!"

The three people across from them also put away their previous carefree attitude, all staring at the dagger in Lian Ri's hand. They had already witnessed the power of this dagger before.

"None Then you said you wanted to confront them three face-to-face, just to lure me here."

Ripple let out a cold smile, then snapped her fingers. Si Tu Yi was instantly decapitated, falling straight to the ground. Until his death, he couldn't understand how the deadly silk thread he controlled had disobeyed him at the crucial moment.

The faces of the three veteran players changed, and they instinctively formed a battle formation. The woman across from them was playing cards against all reason, or rather, she had no reservations whatsoever. Right in front of them, she slaughtered another person.

"Oh my! Look at me, with this terrible temper. Now I'm the only newbie left. Can you still finish your missions"

The ripples were just a flick of her wrist, and the translucent thread returned to her wrist, fitting snugly.

Among the three facing him, Bai Tong's face was the most unsightly. If one looked closely, they could even see the cold sweat on his forehead. The deadly silk he had given to Situ Yi was actually under his control all along. Because his level was higher than Situ Yi's, with just a thought, he could take back anything he had given away.

So just now, when he saw Situ Yi leading the person over, he actually wanted to wait for Lianyi to get closer before commanding Daming Si to wrap around the other's neck. Unfortunately, Daming Si was not under his control and directly killed Situ Yi instead. Now it obediently coils around Lianyi's wrist.

"Miss Ripple, it's best to leave a thread for the future. Why go to such extremes"

The cowboy spoke in a cold, hard voice.

"Am I doing well Or is it you, the captain, who's scheming and trying to reap the benefits without lifting a finger"

As the ripples of her words fell, she raised the dagger in her hand and blocked Bai Tong's knife aimed at her carotid artery. Then, with her left hand clenched into a fist, she struck swiftly and accurately at the opponent's neck, "Crack!" Bai Tong's eyes widened and he collapsed to the ground.

The incident happened too suddenly. The cowboy and the banshee had two seconds to react, but ripples wouldn't give them time to process. She tapped her toes on the ground, leaping instantly, and her deadly silk wrapped around the banshee's arm holding the pistol.

The Rakshasa woman sensed something was amiss and immediately drew her gun, aiming to shoot Ripple. How could flesh withstand a heat weapon Her thinking was correct, but unfortunately, her movements were a beat too slow, resulting in the loss of her entire arm.

The cowboy knew himself well. He immediately demanded to be forcibly withdrawn from the mission, even if it meant he couldn't take on new missions in the future, he accepted that.

Fortunately, he was decisive enough. When he was sent out of the game, he saw the lifeless Rakshasa woman and Ripples' death stare at him.

"Congratulations to the new player, for becoming the sole survivor and leveling up to a junior player. You will now enter the next game stage. Would you like to teleport"

The mechanical and electronic sounds echoed again in Ripples' ear.

Ripple didn't reply in a hurry. Instead, she calmly and slowly took the darkened souls of Bai Tong, Luosha Nu, Situ Yi, and Fu Qianyi into her dagger before saying "Transmission".

The ripples vanished from the cruise ship immediately, and then the whole ship and the sea surface shattered like a broken mirror, collapsing completely. Everything around turned pitch black.

"Alarm! Alarm! Severe power consumption, unable to maintain the Sea of Fear game module! Hope the system repairs as soon as possible! Hope the system repairs as soon as possible!"

The alarm sounded incessantly in the darkness.

When ripples opened her eyes again, she was in a gloomy old castle. She stood on a long corridor, dimly lit by wall lamps on either side. The walls were adorned with portraits, all of people.

Ripple walked forward, her eyes scanning the paintings. She noticed a peculiar feature—the people depicted in each painting bore a striking resemblance to one another, particularly their deep-set eye sockets, azure eyes, and high noses. At first glance, it was evident that they were all from the same family.

There are men and women in it, all dressed in medieval courtly style, very luxurious. She counted a total of twelve portraits.

After walking down the corridor, she heard the sound of a violin being played and people talking, as if there was a small gathering. The ripples flowed past with the sound.

"Miss, welcome to Dracula's Castle. The master is hosting a small wine party and invites you to join."

A brown-haired boy dressed as a servant stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Lian Yi, and then led her into the banquet hall.

Ripples was still wearing the red gown she had worn before. It wasn't out of place for a small cocktail party, so she confidently walked into the ballroom.

Her arrival captivated everyone's attention, and all eyes were subtly drawn to the ripples she created.

"Beautiful lady, I am Henry Dracula, the master of this castle. Welcome to my humble abode."

A two-meter-tall man with brown hair and piercing blue eyes, dressed in a golden medieval gown, approached Ripples. He took her hand, performed a courteous kiss on it, and welcomed her with a smile.

Ripple smiled faintly, gently withdrawing her hand and taking a cup of wine from the tray held by the brown-haired maid. Then she said:

"Just call me Ripple. I don't know what Mr. Henry is celebrating with this party."

"Of course, it's to celebrate my coming of age and eligibility for marriage. Every woman here who attended this party could potentially become my wife, the future mistress of Dracula's Castle."

Henry said with a smile.

"This is definitely worth celebrating, but I can only join in the fun. I'm already engaged."

Ripples smiled and showed off the diamond ring on her right hand, indicating that she was already married.

"Beautiful Miss Ripples, I fell in love with you at first sight. You've only got a fiance, not a husband yet. You still have a choice. Please consider me. I will definitely make you the happiest woman in the world."

Henry seemed a little surprised, staring intently at Ripples, hoping she'd give him a chance.

"Mr. Henry's excellence is undeniable, but I would rather be loyal to my fiancé. If I gave up on him because of your excellence, what if one day I met a man even more outstanding than Mr. Henry Should I give you up then"

Ripples smiled and asked back innocently.

"Oh, although that's hurtful to hear, I understand what Miss Ripple means now. It's just that we met too late."

Henry looked regretful, then raised his glass to clink with Ripples before turning away to charm another tall blonde beauty. The blonde woman even glanced at Ripples with a triumphant smirk, as if mocking her naiveté.power doesn't reside in France, so I need Felix to be kind enough to investigate who interfered. If I recall correctly, we encountered four ambushes along the way.After ripples finished speaking, she...
