Chapter 134 Han Liuyue Whack-a-Mole Game 2026 Edition

To be honest, Han Liuyue didn't have a God's perspective, so he couldn't be 100% sure before smashing it.

There is still a slight possibility that this axe will kill Zhenjin Xueli.

However, Han Liuyue only needed to strike the first axe to confirm who he was hitting.

The one with a skull that shatters like a watermelon and oozes red stuff is the Golden Snow Pear;

The thing that seems to be elastic when being chopped, flexible and easy to use, and sinks into the mud with the axe, is the vulture.

The reason why she knew so well the feeling of hitting a vulture was naturally because she had successfully hit a vulture.

She even remembered a kind of candy she had eaten; the candy skin was a thin layer of hard shell, and when she bit it, there was elastic soft candy underneath - the feel was exactly the same.

"Huh? This is fine, it's fun to smash it!"

Han Liuyue struck with one axe after another, actually finding himself enjoying the game. He laughed and said, "This could be turned into a game. Each blow, depending on the force, will stun the creature for one to three seconds. You can't let the groundhog get up—Hey, Jin Xueli, do you want to try it?"

Jin Xueli on the left was staring blankly at Han Liuyue. After looking at the axe for a few seconds, she could no longer look and turned her head away quickly as if she was trying to suppress the urge to vomit.

That's right, after all, Vulture still looks like her now.

Anyone who sees his face being deformed by the axe and gradually sinking into the mud, with even his neck broken, while he is still blinking and begging for mercy, would probably feel bad.

"Stop fighting," the vulture's voice was stuck in the mud and shouted indistinctly.

A dent was smashed into the ground, and its twisted and deformed head was flattened and stuck to the bottom of the dent like a pot sticker.

Not to mention a mouthful of teeth, even the bones in its mouth were broken. It takes a lot of imagination to guess what it was saying: "It's not easy for me to return to my original state. Just tie me up. Isn't it okay if I'm wrong?"

"You have to get rid of my appearance first!" Jin Xueli jumped up and said angrily.

"That won't work," Han Liuyue rejected immediately. "If it turns into me, it won't be so easy to beat."

"Then tell it to return to its original state! Of all the people I know, you're the one I hate to hear the most."

"How many people do you know?" Han Liuyue had almost beaten the vulture's head into porridge in just a few words: "Go get the rope and count as you go."

Jin Xueli didn't seem to realize that she was being fooled into doing the work. She was quick and pulled the rope out of the pit in no time.

Han Liuyue was still worried and thought of a solution.

She dislocated and smashed all the joints of the vulture's limbs one by one, and then instructed Jin Xueli to tie the vulture up by inserting the rope into the broken parts. In this way, even if the vulture could restore its joints, it would not be able to reconnect its bones because of the rope blocking it.

"How do you know this one is a vulture?"

After they had tied the vulture securely, she couldn't help but ask, "You were so confident, swinging the axe so cleanly and efficiently!"

...Han Liuyue couldn't bring herself to say "there is a possibility of mistake".

"The vulture must have seen me kicking you when he was in the excavator," she said, pointing to Jin Xueli's leg.

Jin Xueli blinked twice and asked, "And then?"

"My request to see your legs wasn't completely pointless, in its view. I must have thought of something on your legs that could be used to tell the difference between you two. So, after I kicked you, what is it that the real Jin Xueli might have that the vulture doesn't?"

"Oh, that's why it said bruise."

Jin Xueli suddenly frowned and said, "Well, if I have bruises, wouldn't the vulture also have bruises when it transforms into me?"

"That raises a question,"

Han Liuyue stepped on the vulture to prevent it from doing anything else and replied, "Which part of you did the vulture copy? Before you were kicked, or after you were kicked?"

Jin Xueli was stunned.

"Let me tell you, that was before I got kicked."

"how do you know?"

"Because when it jumped out of the excavator, it had already turned into your appearance."

Han Liuyue pointed to her eyes, indicating that she saw it with her own eyes.

"So, it hasn't gotten close to you since I kicked you. A vulture like that needs to get close to its target to transform into its form, right? It's not like a mobile phone system that can automatically update just by connecting online."

"Indeed," Jin Xueli understood, "because the timing is different, it can only become me without the bruises."

"Yes, but my request actually contains two traps."

Jin Xueli glanced at her suspiciously. "Don't you always use an axe when you can? How can you set a trap?"

Who would be willing to spend time and energy on this when one can defeat ten opponents with force? Isn't it because she can't use force directly that she is forced to use her brain?

Han Liuyue muttered a few words to herself, "First, it thought I wanted to see a bruise. But it's only been a minute or two since I kicked you, how could a bruise appear so quickly? If it really simulated a bruise, it would be suspicious."

"What if it simulates redness and swelling?"

"That's no use. Because the second trap is that it was dark and I was running so fast, I don't think it could see clearly which leg I kicked."

Before Jin Xueli noticed the word "should", Han Liuyue hurriedly continued to explain, "Your reactions at the time clearly proved this point. He knew I wanted to see the bruises, but he stopped rolling up his trouser legs. On the other hand, you, upon hearing there were bruises, subconsciously glanced at your left leg.

"The vulture is waiting for this look from you, too. Whether it's bruises or redness, it has to simulate them in the right places."

When she realized that the "Jin Xueli" on her left side was looking down at her legs, while the "Jin Xueli" on her right side quickly glanced at her, Han Liuyue basically determined which side was the vulture. "Don't say it, you are really reliable."

Jin Xueli sighed and picked up her phone from the ground. "What should I do now?"

"There are so many things I want to ask." Han Liuyue looked down. "But I have to wait a while before asking."

The vulture's appearance at this moment would be banned even if it were put into an underground movie...

But residents are residents. Not only are they still alive, they even somehow still maintain their human form.

The skull, which was broken into pieces and could no longer be put together, was scattered on the ground along with the face, blood and hair.

However, when they dragged the vulture, these facial skins, broken bones and the like still maintained the general shape of a head and were dragged away along with the body - no matter how broken the flesh and blood were, it seemed that it did not prevent them from acting as "asteroids" and revolving around the "vulture core".

Jin Xueli's tolerance for "disgust" is much higher than that of ordinary people. At this moment, she still twisted her neck and didn't even look at the vulture.

Han Liuyue had no choice but to stare at the vulture by herself - she also felt a little disgusted; really, if she had known earlier, she would have hit it a few less times.

"Can you speak now?"

When the vulture's face gradually recovered and a human form could be seen again, she said, "Don't try to transform into our appearance. Become Vesile."

In order to allow it to become Vesile again and regain the knowledge and information he had gained during his lifetime, the two of them dragged the vulture to the side of the coffin.

"It's impossible," the vulture mumbled, not knowing if some part of his mouth was still moving. "He's been dead for so long."

Han Liuyue was stunned.

"Who are you kidding? The original vultures were able to transform only by pouncing on the dead bodies of hunters—" She was really angry for the first time today. She was halfway through her words when she realized that Jin Xueli was looking at her.

"Why do you call us vultures? Isn't it because we follow others when they are about to die?"

The vulture was not at all afraid of her anger. He said weakly, "The reason we have to wait until the moment of death is because the body is still fresh and warm. When I was stuffed into the coffin, Vesile had just died not long ago, so I could still transform into his appearance. Now he is just a piece of bacon. You want me to turn into bacon? Isn't that asking too much?"

Han Liuyue wiped the rain off her face and took a deep breath.

This doesn't seem like a lie, and the vulture has no reason to lie... Now, there's no point in taking it back.

It seems that they can only continue according to the original plan... Fortunately, they still have the real body of Vesile, so they will not come back empty-handed and fail to complete Brother Chai's mission.

However, no matter what, vultures cannot be left in this world.

"What do you want to do in this world?" Han Liuyue asked.

"Life," the vulture said fondly.

Han Liuyue couldn't help but kick it on the head which was gradually recovering.

"You don't want to stay in this state forever, do you?"

The vulture's beak was kicked apart and it let out a "wuuuuu" sound.

"I think you just want to kill someone. Otherwise, you would have taken the opportunity to escape. You could have left, but you didn't. You stayed and transformed into me, then her. Is it because you wanted to see the dead?"

The vulture paused for a moment before saying, "You're quite clever, but you're half wrong. She's the one I want to kill, and I stayed here to find a chance to kill her."

Jin Xueli was startled and pointed at herself: "Me?"

"It's not just you." Vulture said with his broken lips, "Chai Si, Fu Tailan, and that Brianna..."

The two looked at each other.

Brother Chai Si did say that there was a competition taking shape in the nest, and he and Jin Xueli had both become participants...

We can't let this guy stay in this world.

"You may not be very capable, but you're quite arrogant," Jin Xueli commented. "Who can you possibly kill?"

The evolved vulture seemed unable to tolerate having its professional abilities questioned, and was so angry that it even spit out a few blood bubbles. "Who said that? Didn't I just trick you guys?"

Speaking of this, Han Liuyue remembered it.

"You have a new characteristic now. It seems that when you are about to attack someone, the surrounding environment will try to cooperate with you, right?"

The vulture just snorted and said nothing.

Jin Xueli stretched out her hand and felt the strength of the rain. Less than ten minutes had passed since they caught the vulture. The heavy downpour with thunder and lightning had turned into thin, drifting raindrops.

A vulture can actually force its way into a small area and create the right time, place and people.

"That's easy to explain...but why are you able to 'play people around'?"

Han Liuyue squatted down beside the vulture, looked at it, and asked, "Could it be that after you transformed into us, you can still retain your consciousness as a vulture?"

　In this chapter, when I was writing about vultures, I really couldn't help but use a pot sticker metaphor, but there are no pot stickers in a text with a Western background!
　　But I couldn't think of anything similar to pot stickers after thinking for a long time... tortila? It doesn't have to be fried in a deep pan, right?

　　Later I thought, forget it, I should just continue writing. If I think about it for a while, I’ll feel hungry.

　　I have no choice but to ask the grandmas to tolerate my unprofessionalism (.
