Welcome to the Bizarre Games

Chapter 42 The End
—See? This is what happens when you make enemies on all sides.

That's why I've always been determined to be kind to others.

Zhou You glanced at the sea of ​​blood that had been blocked, silently withdrew his leg that was about to kick out, and continued his escape.

Behind him, countless faces surged in from all directions, covering his blood-soaked body in a dense, swarming manner, like locusts tearing and biting relentlessly. Each bite left a huge, charred spot—and what existed in his mouth was not a tongue and throat, but a blazing, intense fire!
Liu Shang's face groaned and screamed as the sea of ​​blood, like his body, relentlessly pounded against the opposite side. Amidst the flying bricks and stones, numerous faces were swept off his body. Although faces continued to replenish his ranks, they could not keep up with the speed at which the sea of ​​blood swept down.

Minutes later, the alley collapsed with a loud crash.

Zhou You had already run to the stall. Looking at the extinguished lights, he immediately took out the shop sign he had obtained at the beginning!
The old incandescent bulb flickered a few times and then lit up again. The hunchbacked shopkeeper lifted the curtain, first nodding to Zhou You with a smile, then looking at the approaching sea of ​​blood, and suddenly said.

"Brother, there seem to be a lot of customers today. Do you have enough soup in this pot?"

The head in the soup pot floated to the surface, its swollen mouth opened, and it silently uttered a sentence.

"It might not be enough to stew people, but it's more than enough to stew them."

So the owner picked up a soup ladle, bowed kindly, and smiled.

"Welcome, guests! What would you like to order?"

While the boss was speaking, Zhou You had already arrived at the last location.

That's where the script begins.

Security room.

The clues from the past were pieced together one by one.

No matter how many days and nights pass, the security room is always the very beginning.

Even though he was terrified, the security captain would still come every day without fail.

Finally, there was the crime scene, which had been ransacked during the day, as if someone was deliberately searching for something.

"Therefore, there must be something here that they have to find."

As Zhou You said this, he kicked the door open!

The security captain, who was tied to the chair, had long since disappeared, leaving behind only a pile of clothes that seemed to be soaked in blood. The room was filled with remnants of flesh and fragments of bones. Upon seeing a new living person enter, all the strange creatures in the room turned their heads at the same time and turned their gazes toward Zhou You.

Under these circumstances, it was impossible to conduct any detailed search, but Zhou You didn't even blink and directly used the consumable item he had obtained earlier.

It is also the only purple item he has obtained so far.

Bloodstained documents!
Right in front of him, a black hole suddenly opened in the air, and a withered bone claw emerged from it. After groping around for a few moments, it grabbed the inscription.

Faintly, a voice of indeterminate gender could be heard coming from inside the cave.

"Yellow Springs Service Center, damn it, another one skipping out on the bill—oh well, there's collateral on it anyway, the rest is none of our business. Now we have the stuff, and you..."

Zhou You suddenly felt a chill creep up his bones. When he looked at his skin again, it was ashen white. At the same time, all the strange creatures in the room seemed to have lost interest in him and all quieted down.

Behind him, the stall owner's voice gradually faded. Zhou You didn't care about wasting time and immediately began searching the entire house.

The corner behind the flower pot, table, chair, and clock.
However, after searching every inch of the place, they couldn't find any suspicious locations at all.

"Could it be that I guessed wrong? That terracotta statue isn't in the security room at all, but in some place I haven't even explored?"

Zhou You's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Not far away, the sea of ​​blood seemed to be surging again. He took a deep breath and looked around the room once more.

Then, his gaze settled on a particular point. There was no turning back time; Zhou You strode forward, arriving directly at the only suspicious spot.

—That television set that had long since broken.

"The scene of smashing it during the day misled me, making me subconsciously think that there was nothing inside—but the problem is that day and night are not synchronized, and according to the plot, night is the time for the main ritual."

Zhou You stared at the distorted figures on the screen, then forcefully picked up the television and slammed it to the ground!

The screen shattered instantly, and a pitch-black Bodhisattva statue rolled out from it!
Although he had never seen it before, Zhou You immediately understood that this was the Bodhisattva's sacrificial vessel.

Zhou You picked it up without hesitation, and at the same time, an extremely piercing scream came from outside.

"No!!!!!"

The mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood surged into the room, but Liu Shang's face had lost all its ferocity; all that could be seen in his remaining eyes was a pitiful plea.

"Put that down, please put that down!! We can talk this out. I'll give you anything you want, even the Buddha will give you anything, but please don't break that!!!"

As soon as those words were spoken, the system notification sounded.

"Dear player, you have reached the final branching point in the storyline. You can choose to return this ritual artifact to the Auspicious and Tranquil Ghost Mother Bodhisattva to receive her blessing. Please note that this opportunity is extremely rare, so please cherish it."

Zhou You immediately turned off the system notification and then smiled at Liu Shang.

"You want this?"

The person on the other end nodded frantically.

"Judging from your anxiety, something must have happened to you without this, right?"

"This is the last chance the Bodhisattva has given me. If I mess this up, He will make me wail in a sea of ​​blood for eternity. So please, give me this. All the property I leave behind can be yours. You can also ask the Bodhisattva for anything you want, as long as..."

"I see."

Zhou You agreed, and then took a step forward, seemingly wanting to return the thing to Liu Shang.

A glimmer of hope appeared in the other person's eyes as well.

However, at that moment, Zhou You's hand suddenly loosened.

"Paji."

It wasn't until three or four seconds later that Liu Shang realized what the sound was.

His pupils instantly turned blood red.

"You bastard, I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you! Aa ...

His final series of screams were the only sounds he could still make.

Zhou You looked up and saw that the seemingly endless darkness had finally faded away, dawn was breaking, and a faint glimmer of light had already appeared on the horizon.

The flesh and blood that constituted the Ghost Mother Bodhisattva melted away rapidly under the rising sun, just as ice melted and snow melted away. At the same time, the sea of ​​blood and the face in front of them also melted away.

"Congratulations, player, you have achieved the special ending of this scenario: Resealing."

"The player will return in ten seconds, 10, 9, 8, 7"
