Chapter 428 - Are they all dead?
"There is nothing we can do..." Shen Yue dazedly repeated Liam's words.
The two girls blankly stared at Liam holding their breath and waiting for him to say something that made sense and but it looked like that was not going to happen.
Liam also wanted to give them some space and time to process things but the two seemed as if their brain was going to shortcircuit.
So he quickly moved on to the next half of his speech.
"So that was the bad news..." He sat between the two women on the couch. He pulled over Mei Mei patted her and gently kissed her on the forehead again.
"There is also some good news."
The duo sharply turned and looked at Liam, their eyes widened like a deer in front of the headlights. Their whole world was collapsing, so there was also good news here?
How was it even possible?
"What are you saying, brother?" Mei Mei squeaked like a mouse. She was almost afraid of this good news.
"Eh! What? Did both of you forget?" Liam smiled, planting another kiss on the girl's head. "So what if the game is going to influence the world and change everything?"
"Did you both forget that you are also playing the game? If there can be good things, there can be bad things also."
"According to my theory, we should be able to get stronger in the real world if manage to become stronger in the game world. Does that make sense?"
Ah. The duo gasped and then the realization dawned on them.
"Brother, but how do you know all this?" Mei Mei wrinkled her nose, her entire face filled with anxiety.
"Sigh. Look here. I also don't know anything for sure. These are just hints I gathered. Bits and pieces of news from here and there."
"In any case, this game has already become our livelihood, and we are already playing it quite seriously. Nothing changes now, alright?"
Liam wanted to give the two some encouragement instead of scaring the crap out of them and this was really the best he could do.
"Ah. No. I mean, Mei Mei sorry, can I talk with your brother, alone for a moment? Do you mind?"
Mei Mei looked shocked after hearing that but then she realized something and quickly ran over to her room.
"Sis Yue, brother, I am going back to the game. Aha ha ha ha. I am not here. Don't mind me. Carry on. Carry on."
Shen Yue awkwardly fidgeted with her fingers as she could see that the little girl had mistaken her words, but she could not care about that right now.
After she heard her room's door closing, she turned toward Liam but she continued looking at the ground without mustering the courage to look up at him directly in his eyes.
"You want to talk to me about something?" Liam let out a long sigh of relief and sat back on the couch.
The thing that he was dreading was telling his sister the truth and her reaction to it and now that that was over, he felt as if a huge burden was lifted off of his shoulders.
Shen Yue also should be fine? Though he thought that she looked a little stiff. What did she want to talk about?
Suddenly Liam had a bad feeling.
It was because he could see that the woman was neither sad nor shaky from fear. Rather she looked very serious as if she had something weighing heavily on her mind.
"What happened?" He asked again.

Shen Yue took a deep breath, lifted her head, and slowly spoke, "Back then, near that graveyard..."
"When those five people assaulted us... you killed them repeatedly. Again and again and again. Until they no longer appeared... Are they all dead?"
Liam's eyes instantly narrowed as he gazed at the woman in front of him with a strange glint in his eyes. "What are you implying?" His voice became cold.
He stood up and stalked over to her, standing right in front of her. His eyes casually flitted over to the other side to make sure that this sister was really inside her room because...
Depending on what happened next...
Things could get really messy.
