Doomsday Wonderland Vol. 10: Lava [Complete]

1150: Boxing Ring

Perhaps Bonnie Bunny used some kind of trick, or maybe Ya Jiang's [Common Comedy Tropes] tricked him again, but now Ya Jiang was back. He looked panicked, moving quickly, even more like a headless and confused bunny than the person named "Bunny." Several times he tried to turn and run away again, but the girl playfully stopped him each time. Bonnie Bunny seemed to enjoy how things were developing, intercepting Ya Jiang as if she were herding sheep.

After a few seconds, when he stopped in despair, Lin Sanjiu walked up and patted his shoulder.

"For you," she said, handing him a card. "You dropped this. I think you could use it."

She now suspected that the reason Ya Jiang kept his hair long might be to look more like a mop.

With a somewhat bewildered expression, Ya Jiang accepted the mop, glancing at it as if only now realizing what it was. "Oh, uh, thanks... What did she do just now?"

He had been intercepted by Bonnie Bunny multiple times, but he hadn't figured out what she had done. The girl stood with her arms folded, sometimes lightly kicking her toes, and he stumbled as if running into a wall.

"When you rushed at her, she somehow enclosed this entire area," Lin Sanjiu said, circling her finger around the empty ground. "I tried earlier, and I couldn't get out either."

Bonnie Bunny seemed to hear a compliment, and she smiled faintly. Half of her face was still covered with dried fake blood. With that smile, tiny cracks appeared on the dried blood.

"You can leave," she said seriously, "as long as you defeat me. We're all on this boxing ring."

"Is this your ability?" Lin Sanjiu said, waving her hand, taking out her [Tornado Whip] card—this was her standard weapon, suitable for opponents whose abilities were unknown. Just as the whip slid from her palm, Bonnie Bunny's eyes suddenly lit up but then quickly dimmed.

Why was she so interested in her Special Item?

Before Lin Sanjiu could answer, Ya Jiang said, "W-wait a moment, I think... The goal of the Lava game is not to eliminate other players. Even if you—"

"I'm not interested in your theory," Bonnie Bunny interrupted, shifting her gaze from him and returning to Lin Sanjiu. "Have you two seen boxing matches? The side that cannot stand up within ten seconds after being knocked down is the loser. If you defeat me, you can leave the boxing ring... Two against one, you have a big advantage. Do you want to play a game?"

They had no room to say no.

"You told me before that her strength is comparable to Puppeteer's," Lin Sanjiu said, not answering Bonnie Bunny but turning to Ya Jiang. "You might have exaggerated there."

Ya Jiang looked at her with a pale face.

"Believe me, I've fought against him more than once," she said, though it seemed like she had never won.

"What are you doing?" Ya Jiang said, looking distressed. "Are you afraid she's not determined enough, and you want to make her an angry warrior before you're satisfied?"

An enraged opponent is more likely to reveal their weaknesses—Lin Sanjiu seemed to notice Bonnie Bunny at that moment and glanced at her, secretly hoping that she was someone filled with jealousy and competitiveness, and that she didn't get along well with Puppeteer.

It seemed that Bonnie Bunny really hated Puppeteer.

"Are you comparing me to the Mad Dog?" she said, taking her hands out of her overalls' pocket. Sometimes she made fists, sometimes waved her hands, sometimes played with her fingers as if they had a will of their own. She seemed to be losing control over them. "If we talk about the Mad Dog virus in my mind, I admit that I have less of it than he does. However, even if it's only one-third of me, I can still kill you—kill you and that dog who couldn't even bite you."
