Chapter 153: Space Supernatural Entity, Foresee Death
"Deadly feud?"
Ji Yan's expression shifted slightly.
He had initially assumed that the reason the Blood Gu Supernatural Entity endured everything to seek the [Clubs 9] was due to some deeply personal connection, never expecting it to be this kind of relationship.
But what kind of grudge could drive the Blood Gu Supernatural Entity to such a state of breaking defense?
The bloody words faded, and the arm fell limp.
Regaining control of his right hand, Ji Yan clenched his fist.
He turned to Liu Congming and asked, "What's your choice?"
Liu Congming grinned. "Naturally, I’m sticking with Brother Ji. With your intelligence, if you weren’t confident about taking the bell, you wouldn’t act recklessly. Besides, tagging along might even earn me some Performance Score!"
Of course, that was just surface-level diplomacy.
In reality, with the Misfortune Supernatural Entity having consumed so much luck, Liu Congming, as its host, already had ample protection for his own fortune.
If the Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity were to strike, his stacked luck ensured Ji Yan would be the first to suffer.
By following, he wanted to see what method Ji Yan would use to stealthily pluck the bell from the Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity, whose body was covered in eyes.
Secondly, he aimed to better understand the trump cards of this new roommate.
"He seems to uncover every Hidden Operation. Does he possess a Supernatural Artifact of [Epic] quality or higher, or has he awakened an S-level [Talent]?" Liu Congming wondered silently.

Meanwhile, in another hidden room within the building.
The Spades player, the suit-wearing man, stood deep inside, his expression grave.
Taking a deep breath, he drew a blade across his palm, letting blood drip onto the dusty floor.
Soon, grotesque Corpse Spots began surfacing across his skin, and the stench of death filled his nostrils—confirming that the parasitic Supernatural Entity within him had awakened.
Without hesitation, the suit-wearing man yanked off the cloth covering an object in front of him.
Beneath the dirty fabric stood a shattered full-length mirror.
He removed the eyepatch over his right eye and stared intently at his reflection.
Within seconds, the right eyeball in the fractured mirror began spinning wildly in its socket, moving erratically.
When the eye turned pitch-black and horrifying, the reflection grinned unnervingly, its lips curling into a chilling smile.
"Found another little rat!"
Before the suit-wearing man could react, a deformed Supernatural hand reached out from the darkness behind him, piercing through the back of his skull and seizing his eyes— In that instant, an overwhelming sense of death choked his breath!
Just as his eyes were about to be ripped out, the parasitic Supernatural Entity within him activated its ability.
The suit-wearing man vanished from the room.
The Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity emerged from the shadows, its face twisted in fury as it glared at its empty hand.
"What a slippery little rat. Luring me here with a mirror… were you trying to take the bell?"
"Pity. Next time, you won’t be so lucky."

Dozens of meters away, in another room.
A flicker of Space Flicker—and the suit-wearing man materialized out of thin air.
He touched his intact eyes, his heart still pounding violently.
It felt like he’d just taken a stroll through the gates of hell and back.
Had he been even a second slower, his eyes would’ve been gouged out.
"Even with the [Space Supernatural Entity], I almost died… That bell is truly a nightmare to retrieve!"
Wiping the sweat from his brow, the suit-wearing man’s face darkened.
Watching a [Spade 9] slip right before his eyes was utterly unbearable!
In the [Final Supernatural School] instance, whether to gain an advantage or advance the instance plot, playing cards were absolutely essential.
"By this time, A-Lang should have already obtained the [Spade 1], right?"
The suit-wearing man was quite confident in his younger brother, who possessed the [Death Dice].
The [Spade 7] in his hand imprisoned a [Space Supernatural Entity]. Currently, the supernatural ability he had developed through his strategy guide for this entity allowed him to designate any player he had seen and instantly relocate them within a certain range to any space.
It was his arrangement that transferred Ji Yan and Shi Kelang into the same room.
A noise came from the nearby shelves as another female player from the Spades faction emerged slowly from the shadows.
"How did it go?"
"Not easy. Forget taking the bell—I almost lost my life!"
The suit-wearing man spoke with a dark expression.
He grabbed his hair in frustration, noticing that his teammate Luo Xixi also looked uneasy.
"What's wrong?"
Luo Xixi wore a slightly nervous expression. "Ten minutes ago, my talent [Foresee Death] was triggered."
The suit-wearing man frowned. "Whose death did you foresee?"
"Your brother..."
The air froze for a moment as the suit-wearing man's face gradually twisted into something terrifyingly grim.
Luo Xixi's [Foresee Death] could only predict a [Bloodlight Disaster] two minutes in advance.
Ten minutes had passed—meaning his brother's corpse was likely already cold...
"What was the death scene you foresaw?"
The suit-wearing man couldn’t comprehend it. His brother had the [Death Dice], a supernatural artifact with the privilege of order. If he didn’t act recklessly, he should have won easily—how could he have died?
"I saw... he was killed by his own [Death Dice]."
Hearing this, the suit-wearing man’s frown deepened. He grabbed Luo Xixi by the collar. "Are you absolutely sure?"
Facing his terrifying gaze, Luo Xixi still nodded.
"Fine. What a fine [Spade 1]."
"I don’t know how my brother’s bet could have lost, but it’s definitely connected to him."
"This grudge—I, Shi Kejian, will absolutely avenge!"
As he spoke, the suit-wearing man glanced coldly at Luo Xixi. "And you—don’t even think of scheming anything."
"Your only value is your talent. If I find out you’re trying to break free from the 'Chains'..."
His hand tightened around her slender neck while the other pressed a needle knife against Luo Xixi’s throat. A drop of crimson blood welled up at the tip.
His eyes burned with murderous intent. "You’ll die horribly!"
Her fair neck flushed red from the choking. Luo Xixi bit her lip and nodded. "Understood..."
Releasing her, the suit-wearing man suppressed his rage. "First, take me to A-Lang’s corpse. Alive or dead—I must see him!"
Luo Xixi coughed violently, wiping the blood from her bruised, purple neck, and nodded like a slave. "Yes."

Meanwhile.
Ji Yan and Liu Congming had relocated.
They appeared in another storage room.
By chance, they discovered the Hearts player who had earlier been an innocent victim, having their luck devoured by the [Misfortune Supernatural Entity] to ward off disaster.
Looking at the Hearts player's mangled flesh, their eyeballs missing and only two bloody holes remaining where their eyes should be, Liu Congming couldn't help but gasp in horror: "Holy shit! Getting caught by that Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity is a fucking brutal way to die!"
"Brother Ji, let's move somewhere else. This place is too damn unlucky..."
Contrary to Liu Congming's reaction, Ji Yan's eyes lit up when he saw the corpse.
"Wrong. This corpse is a treasure."
Liu Congming: "Huh?"
Ji Yan crouched down, placing a hand over the bloody eye sockets, even digging his fingers into the hollowed-out cavities. The sight made Liu Congming's face scrunch up like a withered chrysanthemum.
This guy's mental fortitude is insane!
To retrieve the bell, they needed to uncover more hidden information about the Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity—to analyze its supernatural abilities and find the right countermeasure.
Directly touching the Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity was too difficult and risky.
But perhaps by interacting with a player it had killed, he could trigger his talent. Even if the hidden information obtained was limited, it would at least provide a clue...
Touching the corpse did indeed activate his talent, but it cost him a third of his mental state.
"Ding! Player successfully triggered talent [Omniscient Understanding], acquiring hidden information about the Cursed Eye Supernatural Entity..."
After processing the hidden information, Ji Yan's expression gradually darkened...
