Cultivation Kill

Looking at the gloomy sky, Shen Zige couldn't help but sigh, "I should have just stayed home!"

It was sunny when he went out, but the weather turned so bad in less than an hour. Despite his complaints, hunger left him no choice but to go out!

"My favorite fried chicken, and Ziming's favorite stir-fried noodles." Shen Zige tied the plastic bag tightly to prevent it from getting wet in the rain.

"Ever since his sister-in-law's accidental death, Ziming has been staying in his room with games for company, and hasn't left the house for years." Shen Zige thought to herself that her brother was so smart, but he had become so depressed, spending his days playing games and wasting his time. She made him bring takeout home after school every day.

Shen Zige is a seventeen-year-old high school student. When he was seven years old, his father saw two groups of people fighting. He went to break up the fight and was stabbed to death. The person who stabbed his father was a penniless thug who would rather go to jail than pay a penny in compensation. His mother used to work in a supermarket. A few years ago, after his older brother Ziming made a lot of money, he bought the supermarket and gave it to his mother.

"It's about to rain, I have to hurry back!" Shen Zige walked towards his old Niu brand electric scooter parked in front of him.

Before the rain arrived, a sudden gust of wind arose, howling past and stealing his body heat in the process.

"what--"

Across the street, two girls screamed and held down their long skirts, which were billowing up as if they were about to float away!

Shen Zige turned her head back, and out of the corner of her eye, a dark shadow appeared, tumbling and spinning in the air, crashing towards Shen Zige—

Getting closer……

It turned out to be a wooden billboard with black paint!

Shen Zige hurriedly dodged, the billboard grazed past her and crashed into a BMW parked on the side of the road.

"Bang—"

The car window shattered, shards of glass flying everywhere, followed by the sounding of the car alarm.

The passersby behind gasped in surprise and scattered!

Shen Zige's clothes were ripped open by the billboard, and he lost his balance as the billboard pulled at him. The lunchbox in his hand fell to the ground, and he immediately went to pick it up.

"what?"

As Shen Zige crouched down, she saw a small hurricane hidden inside a shard of car glass the size of a thumb, slowly growing larger...

"What's wrong? Am I seeing things?"

Shen Zige rubbed her eyes and looked again.

"Bang—"

The small hurricane turned into a three-meter-high hurricane in just one second, instantly engulfing Shen Zige who had no time to react!

The same scene was playing out across the city.

The scenery around Shen Zige quickly turned into blocks of color, then melted and stretched, becoming long lines...

Shen Zige's body spun like a top, and the surrounding scenery suddenly became bizarre and surreal, as if filtered, gradually changing, stretching, and distorting. He gradually lost himself in the colorful world... After a while, he felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. Suddenly, a white light like a door appeared in front of him.

"Ouch!"

Shen Zige fell heavily onto the grass, the foul-smelling mud splashing onto his clothes and hair, making him look extremely disheveled!

As Shen Zige fell, hundreds of people around him fell like raindrops, all landing in the mud just like him.

"what's the situation?"

A man in a suit quickly got up, took out a square cotton handkerchief from his suit pocket, carefully wiped the mud off his hands, stained the white handkerchief yellow, and then threw it away.

"I don't know what's going on either."

Shen Zige also stood up. Unlike the man in the suit, he simply shook his hands a few times to get rid of the mud.

Upon seeing this, the man in the suit frowned and stepped back, afraid that the dirty Shen Zige would touch him.

A crowd gathered around, chattering amongst themselves.

"Oh my god, a gust of wind suddenly blew through my window and blew me over!"

“My house has a mirrored glass. I was putting on makeup in the mirror at the time, and I was only halfway done when it was rolled over.”

"I was brought here by a tornado that popped up from my phone screen. Of course, I was playing a game, and when I saw it, I thought it was a new game effect. I didn't expect the effect to pop up out of the screen!"

“I’m getting married, and people are toasting me. A strange wind is blowing out of the man’s wine glass—” said a man in a wedding suit.

"Then you've really lost out, brother!" said a young man with dyed blond hair and a thug-like appearance. "A moment of pleasure is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Now that you've been brought here, who knows how many days it will take you to get back? How much money have you lost?"

This guy is pretty optimistic; he thinks being brought here is a magic trick or a prank.

"You think you can get your money's worth? You've come here for no reason, and you still want to go back?" a bespectacled, refined-looking man sneered. "Who knows how long you'll be stuck in this godforsaken place? But your corpse can turn into a zombie and crawl back."

"What do you mean by that!" The man in the groom's suit rushed at the man with glasses and punched him in the face, knocking his glasses off!

"Stop it, you two!" The crowd rushed over to break up the fight. "The most important thing right now is to figure out what's going on and where we are."

Shen Zige and the man in the suit also came over.

Most people panic when faced with crises and difficulties, and then habitually stick together to seek a sense of security.

"We need to figure out whether this is a natural disaster or a man-made one," Shen Zige said. "Everyone, pay attention to your surroundings and see if there's anything unusual."

Hearing Shen Zige say this, everyone realized that something was wrong, and there was an indescribable sense of oppression in the atmosphere.

"The gravity is wrong!" the man in the suit said. "The gravity here is stronger than on Earth!"

"No way……"

"How can this be?"

"Could this be a gravity experiment base?"

"If this is a base, it's huge!"

Shen Zige looked up at the clear blue sky.

Just as everyone was wondering, three plumes of blue smoke suddenly rose from the ground, like long snakes emerging from the earth.

The smoke quickly thinned, revealing three figures dressed in green.

These three were dressed differently from Shen Zige and the others. They wore their hair in topknots with jade hairpins, and their long blue robes with wide sleeves trailed on the ground, bending the wolftail grass. They looked like cultivators from a TV series.

"Quiet down, everyone. Divide into groups of nine and line up quickly!" said the man in blue on the right.

"Who are you, and why should we listen to you?" the blond youth said, pointing at the man in blue who was speaking.

A flash of sword light, and the blond youth was instantly cleaved in two, falling into the crowd.

Screams erupted, and everyone scattered, afraid of getting their hands on the blond youth's blood.

"You only have thirty seconds. The countdown begins," said the man in blue on the right.

Now no one dared to question the man in blue, and they all quickly formed teams nearby.

Unfortunately, none of the people present were divisible by nine, leaving three people behind, and those three were a bit slow to react.

The man in blue transformed his right hand into a sword and unleashed a sword light at the three of them. The sword light split in mid-air, turning into three beams that killed the three who were not in a team!

The wallets and phones that the three people were carrying fell to the ground, and no one dared to pick them up.

"Is this magic?" Shen Zige wondered inwardly, but dared not utter aloud.

"This is not magic or illusion, this is sorcery." The man in blue on the left seemed to see right through everyone's hearts. "Do you want to live? If you want to live, you must obey."

The man in blue robes in the middle stepped forward: "Everyone, please be quiet. My surname is Mo, and I am in charge of the 1218 Secret Realm. It is necessary for me to explain the rules of the Secret Realm to everyone."

"What rules?" a bold fellow asked.

The man surnamed Mo had a much better temper than the man in blue on the left. He didn't get angry when he was interrupted and continued in a calm tone: "The rules of the secret realm are similar to the game Werewolf on Earth. It's called Immortal Cultivation Kill. You need to form a team of nine people, divided into two bad guys, one neutral guy, and six good guys. Enter the secret realm to participate in the competition and win the game with your wisdom and courage. Of course, you also need luck."

Shen Zige had a bad feeling. Although he had heard of the game Werewolf, he had only watched a live stream for one day and knew some of the basic rules!

Furthermore, he noticed that the man surnamed Mo mentioned Earth, implying that this was not Earth!

What kind of abilities are needed to do something like this!

“The nine of you will come back later to collect your smartwatches.” The man surnamed Mo pointed to the man in blue who had committed the murder earlier. “Line up and collect them from him. Remember to follow the rules and don’t cut in line. More detailed rules are engraved on the white jade stone at the entrance of the secret realm. You can check it before you enter the secret realm.”

The man in blue on the right took out an old cloth bag and pulled out a series of metal watches, each with a different serial number engraved on the back.

Everyone hurriedly lined up to receive their gifts, and no one dared to cause any more trouble.
