This bug is amazing!

Chapter 219 Hell-Level Dungeon: Divine Descent (8k)

Everyone was confused by Ji Yi's laughter and looked at him. The driver lowered his head and tentatively asked:
"Is he a member of the Headhunter Alliance? The real culprit who assigned this assassination? What is the Sealing Stone, and what use is it to the Headhunter Alliance?"

Ji Yi shook his head: "No, no, no, Mad Celestial Venerable has nothing to do with the Headhunter Alliance. The person who planned the attack was the fourth person who participated in the [Ghost Immortal] instance, what was his name again?"

"Definitely not today!" Chicken Leg blurted out.

Coconut Jelly glared at him: "It has to be done, no matter what."

Everyone: "."

"Yes, that's him. What a terrible name."

Ji Yi looked slightly embarrassed, then straightened her expression and continued:

"He bribed Ah Kun, and it's certain that he is a member of the Headhunter Alliance."

With the clues uncovered to this point, many things have become clear.

Seeing that everyone was still confused, Ji Yi slowly walked back to her original position and began to deduce what had happened.

"That black stone is not a [Sealing Stone], but a [Boundary-Breaking Stone]. Judging from the name, it is not difficult to conclude that they are things with completely opposite functions."

Ji Yi uttered the key information in one sentence, while the others still looked puzzled.

Only Coconut Jelly narrowed its eyes and revealed a faint smile.

Ji Yi had no time to observe their reactions and continued to reveal:
"The evil deeds committed by the Headhunter Alliance are not limited to us players. Even in the dungeon world, they seem to thrive on chaos. Obtaining the [Boundary Stone] is of paramount importance to them. If the Headhunter Alliance gets their hands on it, the consequences will be dire."

"Furthermore, since Hao Youqian is a shrewd businessman, if he gets a stone full of unknown information, he will definitely study its value and plan to sell it for a good price."

"Therefore, it is not difficult for us to predict where the [Boundary-Breaking Stone] will eventually end up."

Ji Yi glanced at Hao Youqian, whose eyes darted around as if he was unconvinced, but in the end he didn't say a word.

"It was under these circumstances that Mad Celestial Venerable tried to steal the [Boundary-Breaking Stone], and as we all know, that's how it ended."

"But here, the Mad Celestial Venerable made a very clever, yet also crazy, idea: to destroy the [Boundary-Breaking Stone]."

"He learned through various means that [Today Will Not Work] was a member of the Headhunter Alliance, so he used a trick to kill someone with a borrowed knife. He deliberately revealed to [Today Will Not Work] that the [Boundary-Breaking Stone] was related to the ancient god's seal, arousing the other party's curiosity. When explaining in private, he deliberately revealed information, twisting the [Boundary-Breaking Stone] into the [Sealing Stone].

"If this so-called [Sealing Stone] is exposed, it will be extremely detrimental to the Headhunter Alliance's plans, so they naturally want to destroy it."

"Thus, the Mad Celestial Venerable's scheme of using someone else to do his dirty work was completed. He distorted the information of the items, making the Headhunter Alliance do things for him, and the two different factions were now united in their goal. The rest, as everyone knows, is history."

Ji Yi looked at A Kun:

"'Designated not to be' lured Ah Kun into becoming an undercover agent with promises of benefits, and Hao Youqian, who leaked the itinerary, was ambushed. According to the script written by Mad Celestial, the [Boundary-Breaking Stone] will be destroyed in this incident, and ultimately, the Headhunting Alliance will lose a prop they desperately need."

Once the whole story was explained, everyone had a look of sudden realization on their faces.

Mad Celestial Venerable is indeed quite insane.

Although it's not hard to see that he stands against the Headhunter Alliance, he can be ruthless when he gets going, even dragging innocent people into it.

At the same time, everyone had to admire the Mad Celestial Venerable's intelligence; his use of a borrowed knife to kill was very clever.

However, the person who came up with this underhanded trick is quite talented; perhaps we can win them over.

Seeing the whispers among the crowd, Ji Yi felt a strange mix of emotions.

While Mad Celestial's stance was generally righteous, his methods were extreme, which resulted in considerable negative consequences this time.

Such a person is worth getting to know, but should also be kept in check. Otherwise, he might cause even bigger trouble.

With that in mind, Ji Yi gave the driver a few instructions and hurriedly left the conference room.

The subsequent handling of Ah Kun's situation is no longer something he, as an outsider, needs to be involved in.

Back in her room on the second floor of the villa, Ji Yi picked up her phone and began replying to messages one by one.

First, open the chicken leg's chat box:

"I have an urgent matter and need to enter the dungeon. Your room is big enough, and it should be sufficient for you and Coconut Jelly to stay together. If you need anything in daily life, you can go to Xiaoqin. For game-related matters, just ask the driver."

"And also, fucking make up for all those missed updates you've been owing these past few days."

After closing the chat window, Ji Yi opened Tang Hulu's unread messages.

They said they've returned from their trip and are now focused on their studies. I don't know what motivated them, but they seem quite diligent.

It was already 11 p.m., and after thinking for a moment, Ji Yi sent a message to Xie Jiayi:

"Are you asleep? Sorry, I'm a bit busy with work, and I'll be busy for the next few days, so I can't make plans."

Hsieh Chia-yi replied instantly: "Oh."

Ji Yi: "Still not asleep at this hour? What are you doing?"

【Crab Mud】: "I didn't do anything, you're busy, don't worry about me."

Ji Yi nodded. Miss Xie is actually a gentle and considerate person, not the petty woman she thought.

You can close the chat window without worry.

Ji Yi made a phone call to Miss Cat.

beep.

The phone rang once and then hung up.

[AAA Brand Design]: "What are you doing?"

Ji Yi: "Enough talk, get on the phone!"

A few minutes later, Ji Yi returned to the game space.

"Last time I drew the [Superpower Cultivation Manual], to avoid getting a useless superpower and regretting it for the rest of my life, I deliberately waited 12 hours."

Ji Yi opened her inventory, picked up the "Superpower Cultivation Manual," and activated the "Awakening" effect.

A voice sounded in my ears.

You feel an unknown force awakening within your body.

You have a feeling that this is a power that could change your life.

"Sounds good."

As expected, you will become the king of the world, and your superpowers will surpass all others!

"Holy crap, a gold drop on the first try?"

You have awakened the superpower "Plunder", Level: B

【Name: Plunder】

[Skill Card Attribute: Special Skill, Permanently Mastered]

[Effect 1 "Plunder": You can directly steal other people's abilities (only abilities, other system abilities are ineffective). If the target's level is higher than yours, the success rate of plundering will be reduced.]

[Effect 2 "Special Ability": You can perfectly utilize the plundered abilities and inherit their levels; there will be no rejection reaction between different abilities.]

[Effect 3 "Fusion": You can fuse your different superpowers to create an even more powerful superpower]

[Learning Requirements: Obtained with a certain probability after awakening a special ability]

[Note: Good news: You have awakened the ability to steal other people's abilities. Bad news: You live in a world without superpowers.]

"."

After a long pause, Ji Yi squeezed out a vulgar curse through gritted teeth and silently used the "roll again" option.

This ability is undoubtedly very strong, but Ji Yi has not heard of any extraordinary system related to this ability in the dungeons she has experienced.

The only one that comes close is the person I met in the wedding instance who has "special abilities".

In addition, one can gain "superpowers" by using [Compound V].

Both of these seem to be related to superpowers, but they also seem to be different.

Since they don't belong to the same power system, the ability to plunder is essentially useless.

"Unless I get to enter a supernatural world in my next random dungeon run, it all depends on my luck."

If I actually get the plundering ability, I might miss out on the ability dungeon.

Ji Yi dared not gamble; given his luck, this situation was no joke.

As [Roll Again] was activated, the voice rang in my ears once more.

You feel an unknown force awakening within your body.

You have a feeling that this ability might be very useful in certain situations.

"The descriptive words don't seem quite right."

Finally, Lady Luck has smiled upon you this time.

"?"

You have awakened the superpower "Fortune", level: F.

【Name: Fortune】

[Skill Card Attribute: Special Skill, Permanently Mastered]

[Effect 1 "Probability Swap": Before an event occurs, you can swap the lower-probability outcome with the higher-probability outcome, which may result in failure.]

[Effect 2: Not yet unlocked. Please upgrade your ability level to D first.]

[Learning Requirements: Obtained with a certain probability after awakening a special ability]

[Note: Currently, there is still considerable room for improvement in the effectiveness of this skill.]

"Hiss, it's actually a causality skill, my apologies."

Ji Yi initially thought this ability was useless, but upon further reflection, she realized that it was actually quite useful.

To put it simply, the probability of getting a legendary item from the [Premium Surprise Gift Box] is not 10%, but 40%.

It's terrifying, like a cheat code.

Not to mention the effects of subsequent extended applications.

For example, even if the probability of death is 99%, he can still use his superpower to reverse the outcome, which is terrifying. Just a little thought will tell you that this thing is no different from a cheat code.

"But after all, it's only F-rank. If you really want to reverse life and death, a low-level ability probably can't achieve such a strong effect."

Touching her chin, Ji Yi suppressed her excitement.

Ultimately, one shouldn't place too much faith in a single special skill.

【Yeah yeah.】

And would a game really allow an unbalanced mechanic to exist?
I think so.

Therefore, we shouldn't be too optimistic when thinking about things.

This is what bad luck looks like.

"Your mother."

Ignoring the Eye of Data, Ji Yi glanced at the rewards she hadn't opened last time.

A premium surprise gift box containing a random exclusive class skill card.

[Roll Again] It's back on cooldown, so Ji Yi doesn't plan to use skill cards, but she can try out "probability swap" with the gift box.

"Probability substitution, activate!"

As Ji Yi felt a surge of energy being instantly stripped from his body, his head felt as if it had been struck by a hammer, and a sharp pain made him grimace.

It wasn't until three minutes later that his eyes gradually focused.

"Hiss, my superpower is overdrawn. It seems that different modifications result in vastly different power losses."

Rubbing her throbbing head, Ji Yi looked at the [Premium Surprise Gift Box] again.

[Note: Excellent grade has a 20% chance of being obtained, Perfect grade has a 30% chance, Epic grade has a 10% chance, and Legendary grade has a 40% chance]

Success! "

"open!"

【Name: Ability Amplifier】

[Type: Equipment]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect: When worn, it can temporarily and significantly enhance supernatural abilities, but it will cause irreversible damage to the body (limited to use in dungeons; the negative effect disappears after leaving the dungeon)]

[Note: Using this in the game space may cause abnormal player character data. Please add restrictions. (This comment was left by programmer #2; please remember to delete it.)]

Ji Yi: "It seems that my idea of ​​getting rich still has a long way to go."

No, that's not the point.

The probabilities of epic and legendary items have been swapped, so how come I still got an epic item?
"System, seriously, I'm going to cry. It could have given me a good piece of equipment, but it insisted on giving me an epic one, proving that my luck is really bad."

Well, at least this thing is actually useful.

After closing her inventory, Ji Yi finally had time to look at the in-game chat window.

The first column lists more than ten unread messages from Miss Cat:

"Okay, pull me up."

"Mr. Ji Yi, wasn't it extremely urgent?"

"Did you fall into the latrine?"

"Mr. Giba, what are you doing?"

"Silent treatment, is that it? Very well."

After reading the messages, Ji Yi quickly replied: "I was just tidying up, sorry, sorry."

Miss Cat: "Yes, I fully understand and forgive you, Mr. Dick."

Ji Yi: "That's good."

I've sent over a dozen team invitations, why aren't they joining?
A moment later, Miss Cat joined the line.

"You know our objective for this operation, right?"

Before setting off, Ji Yi confirmed.

"Hmm, check the ancient god's seal."

"Yes, there's another thing I'd like to ask you for a favor about, regarding Misaki."

Ji Yi briefly recounted Misaki's story.

Five minutes later, Miss Cat concluded:
"I see, so you're asking another woman for a life-saving cure because of another woman, is that it?"

Ji Yi scratched her head: "That's right."

But something just feels off.

"I understand, the panacea is here."

So refreshing?

Looking at the cat lady's reposts, Ji Yi suddenly felt that she wasn't so petty after all.

"As a reward, Mr. Jiba has to be my slave for 80 years, is that right?"

"Huh? When did I agree to that?"

"Heh, so you've started escaping reality?"

"."

Ji Yi knew this woman wasn't so easy to coax; it seemed he would have to give her something in return.

"Miss Cat, is there anything you want, like me giving you advice on how to win over that...you know, loser guy you like?"

After a long silence, the other party replied:
"Actually, I've met him, but he doesn't seem to have any real feelings for me; he's just after my body. Mr. Giba, do you think someone like that is worth associating with?"

"What?! Bah! That scumbag, tell him to get lost!"

Ji Yi was filled with righteous indignation and felt sorry for Miss Cat.

"Listen to me, this guy definitely doesn't mean any harm. This kind of relationship is too superficial. Once he gets what he wants from you, or gets tired of you, he'll definitely dump you and hurt your feelings!"

Are you so sure? What if...?

"What if? I'm a man, and men understand men best. Trust me, block him."

Miss Cat: "Okay."

Seeing that Miss Cat agreed, Ji Yi finally felt relieved.

He could actually understand why Miss Cat was prone to encountering bad romantic prospects.

The number of men pursuing a woman is not entirely correlated with her looks. Someone as beautiful as Hsieh Chia-yi, with a great figure, might make many men feel unworthy of her, automatically filtering out certain suitors.

Only confident, capable, and outstanding men can remain calm and composed in front of Miss Xie, and such people are clearly in the minority.

Miss Cat is different. She's average-looking, but has a great figure, giving off a sense of "accessibility," as if she could be won over with just a little effort.

In that case, men with ill intentions will multiply, and you won't be able to shake them off.

How could Ji Yi let his good friend suffer such a loss?
Kill any man with malicious intentions!

"Just take the medicine. You don't need to give me anything. The four skill cards you gave me last time are enough."

No, in terms of value, it's far from being comparable.
Ji Yi didn't insist, otherwise it would seem like she was rushing to curry favor. In short, she appreciated the favor and would repay it next time.

Friendship is that simple: you help me today, I help you tomorrow, and that's how our relationship deepens.

After the conversation, Ji Yi took out the [Dimensional Coordinate Device] that she had prepared beforehand and selected the "Sealed" instance.

Activate the copy!
[Entering the instance]

[Instance Name: Divine Descent]

[Dungeon Size: 4-player raid]

[Mission Objective: Unknown]

[Limited Time: None]

[Difficulty: Hell]

When the words "hellish level" reached Ji Yi's ears, his heart skipped a beat.

Looking back on my dungeon experiences, only the "Midnight Convenience Store" dungeon was a true hellish dungeon that I cleared through sheer skill; the others were more like dungeons I exploited by using bugs.

Ji Yi straightened his expression and focused his mind as if facing a formidable enemy.

Instead of directly entering the instance, a CG scene began to appear before my eyes.

In ancient times, the azure star was rich in spiritual energy, and cultivators were everywhere, with many powerful figures emerging.

The scene features many men and women dressed in ancient costumes, as well as a magnificent palace standing in the sky.

"I think I haven't misjudged the genre with this art style, have I?"

But everything changed when the extraterrestrial demons descended.

The scene shifts abruptly, the sky is pitch black, and countless tentacles and monsters tear through the sky.

The cultivators and the demons engaged in a fierce battle, resulting in heavy casualties, a scene resembling a living hell.

[It wasn't until the last powerful being on Azure Star emerged, and Hua Linghan, the Palace Master of Cloud Mist Palace, attained True Immortal status, that the disaster was finally brought to a halt.]

The image shows a close-up of the face of an extremely beautiful woman.

"This is."

Ji Yi felt the woman looked very familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.

Data Eye popped up a text message at this time:
[Hua Linghan, the last True Immortal on Azure Star, left behind his immortal mortal body after ascending to suppress the ancient gods. He's the one you met before.]

"And what about her appearance?"

[Beauty filter applied.]

"."

The sound from the cutscene continued:
Millions of years have passed, times have changed, civilizations have been interrupted, and people have long forgotten the ancient past.

The scene shifts again, revealing modern high-rise buildings everywhere, not unlike the world Ji Yi lives in.

The so-called extraterrestrial demons did not truly perish; they were sealed on Azure Star, and their existence is referred to as: Ancient Gods.

The scene then descended underground, revealing an indescribable monster, as deep as the abyss.

brush--

Its pupils snapped open, and a huge eye stared straight at Ji Yi.

Ji Yi felt as if that guy wasn't part of a CG animation, but was actually staring right at her.

[Thanks to this data-driven eye, you've been exempted from having your sanity value reduced to 0. Aren't you going to thank me?]

"?"

What's going on? So you can kill people with CG?
"It truly lives up to its reputation as a hellish difficulty level."

[That's not the case. Only those who participated in "sealing the ancient gods" will be gazed upon by the ancient gods here.]

Alright, so it was revenge.

Similar to the situation in the Yangyang instance, the choices made by predecessors will affect the difficulty of that person's subsequent encounters in that instance world.

"What if Miss Cat gets glared at too? Oh no, I hope she doesn't go crazy."

A top-tier gamer died here; it's simply the biggest joke of this century.

With this matter on her mind, Ji Yi had no interest in watching the subsequent CG.

The video continues:

The arrival of an uninvited guest opened Pandora's box, and the ancient gods awakened.

A layer of haze covered the azure sky, and people's laughter and chatter began to distort.

It seemed to foreshadow an unprecedented disaster.

As terrifying chaotic energy leaks out, an inevitable cataclysmic crisis is about to unfold!

Main questline has been refreshed.

[Task 1: Spark (Required). Establish a last sanctuary for humanity in the Land of the Gods, delaying the "Gods' Descent". Complete Task 1 to leave the instance.]

[Task 2: Sealing (Doable). Reseal the ancient god, but the difficulty will exceed the "Hell" level.]

[Task 3: Blasphemy (Forbidden). Destroy the Ancient Gods. The difficulty of completing this task is immeasurable; it is an impossible mission.]

[Task Four: Redemption (Recommended). Join the Ancient Gods and become a member of the glorious evolution.]

The voice changed noticeably when the system announced the last two tasks.

"The ancient god who can interfere with the game system is a character."

However, only a fool would fall for such an obvious trap, taking refuge with the ancient gods as a form of salvation, believing it would bring them salvation for life.

As the announcement ended, Ji Yi opened her eyes.

Feeling the soft sofa beneath her, and smelling the aroma of coffee, Ji Yi slowly opened her eyes.

This is a coffee shop; it's upscale and elegant.

Sitting opposite Ji Yi was Miss Cat, who was staring at Ji Yi with her dead fish eyes.

Ji Yi looked her up and down; her outfit was actually quite nice, except for her face.

"Hey, hey, hey? Did you go stupid after being glared at by an ancient god?"

Ji Yi raised her hand and waved it in front of Miss Cat, but the other woman didn't even blink, staring blankly at Ji Yi.

"Holy crap, you really got infected?!"

Ji Yi screamed, and many customers immediately turned to look in her direction.

Within seconds, a waiter rushed forward: "Sir, please be at ease."

"Waaaaah! Miss Cat! You died so unjustly!"

Tears streaming down her face, Ji Yi ignored the waiter beside her, stepped forward, grabbed Miss Cat's shoulder, and shook her violently.
"We, the male and female duo, have roamed the world for so many years, how could you have fallen for this?! You've become a madman, how am I supposed to explain this to the world and to my readers, Miss Cat?!"

He cried out and then buried his face in Miss Cat's chest.

He vigorously rubbed his nose and tears from side to side, crying and howling.

"Sir, you."

The waiter was also terrified and didn't know what to do.

Just as she was about to call the supervisor, Miss Cat, who had been silent all along, finally spoke:
"I'm sorry to have troubled you. My brother is mentally unstable and sometimes has seizures."

Ji Yi: "?"

Waiter: "Oh, so they've gone mad! I thought it was some kind of 'otherworldly player descended into the dungeon and mistakenly believed their companions were infected by an ancient god' thing. It scared me to death!"

Ji Yi: "?"

"In short, please keep quiet. Out of humanitarian spirit, we will not drive you away, but please calm your brother down as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect other guests."

After saying that, the waiter gave him a professional smile and quickly left.

Ji Yi stiffly raised her head, looking at Miss Cat from chest level:
"How did you escape the gaze of the ancient gods?"

Miss Cat: "Close your eyes."

"."

It makes such a valid point that it's impossible to refute.

'Hackie's Eyes, why the hell didn't you warn me?'

I thought you liked it.

Damn, the existence of this world is a huge prank for Ji Yi.

After withdrawing from Miss Cat's chest, Ji Yi gracefully returned to her seat, as if nothing had happened.

This is a seat on the side. Ji Yi turned her head to look at the bustling traffic outside the glass curtain wall. What a beautiful night view of the small town.

Although the building is not large, it is small but complete, and the outside is full of neon lights, showing that the town is just as prosperous as a big city.

Music, coffee, night view—feeling the happy, lively atmosphere in the air, Ji Yi's demeanor naturally became more composed and elegant.

Gently pick up the coffee cup.

Swing it about 15 degrees to disperse the steam from the coffee.

His gaze softened as he looked at Miss Cat, his tone becoming steady and gentle:

"Good buddies! Five champions! Eight horses! Sixes bring good fortune! Seven plum blossoms! Let's drink this cup!!!"

As the rock-paper-scissors game continued to change in Ji Yi's left hand, Miss Cat remained as still as a bell.

Ji Yi didn't look at it, and drank the coffee in one gulp.

"Gulu gulu."

As soon as I finished my coffee, the waitress who had just walked away came back quickly.
"Sir, Madam, if you continue to make such a racket, we really will have to..."

"Bill, please."

Miss Cat said calmly.

"Okay, please wait a moment while I check the bill."

While she was looking at the bill, Ji Yi glanced at the untouched cup of coffee in front of Miss Cat and licked her lips:

"Miss Cat, if you won't drink it, can I have some?"

Miss Cat glanced at him: "Whatever."

Ji Yi chuckled, reached for the coffee, and put it in his mouth again.

"Ma'am, the two coffees will cost a total of 80,000 game coins. Cash or card?"

"puff!"

Ji Yi spat out the coffee she hadn't yet swallowed onto the waitress's dress.

"ah!!"

The waitress screamed and looked like she was about to cry.

Ji Yi couldn't be bothered to watch her cry. Empathy? Damn it, why don't you have any sympathy or pity for a poor wretch like me?!

"A rip-off! This is a rip-off!!"

Ji Yi slammed her hand on the table and stood up, pointing at the waiter's nose and yelling.

"Ten thousand? Or game currency? You can make money faster than robbing a bank! Do you think we country folk are easy to bully?!"

Such a commotion quickly attracted the attention of the foreman, a slightly overweight man who was about thirty years old.

"Sir, putting aside all the price stuff, apologize to Xiao Ji immediately!! Also, if you can't afford it, you don't have to drink! Our prices are clearly marked, and you've already confirmed the menu, so why are you calling us a rip-off?!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yi stiffened her neck, twisted her mouth, and snatched the menu from the customer sitting next to her.

Hey, the coffee really is 40,000 a cup, no kidding!

"Ha, so what? With your pricing, I have the right to report you to the market supervision bureau!"

The supervisor was also furious: "Suit yourself, sir! You don't have to pay today. We won't call the police for such a small amount of money."

Ji Yi: "."

Damn it, you idiot, you're secretly making money in this dungeon without me, huh?

"But! You must apologize to Xiao Ji today!"

Ji Yi glanced sideways at the crying waitress: "Pah! You dare to use the surname Ji?!"

Foreman: "You!!!"

Ji Yi escalated the farce further.

"Xiao Ji! Call the police! I'm going to send this guy to jail today!"

Xiao Ji cried: "Foreman, he's mentally ill. He won't go to jail for causing trouble."

"Then hold his guardian responsible! Who is his guardian?! You?"

The head waiter glanced at Miss Cat, who was sitting calmly watching the show.

"You let him out despite him being mentally ill? You'd better pay compensation! This isn't over until you've got at least five million game coins!"

"Hey! Oh my! This dungeon master is really something, asking for five million right off the bat. Do you guys even know how to set prices?"

"Hmph! I won't lower myself to the level of a madman!"

The supervisor sneered, then looked at Miss Cat again: "It's understandable that you're sick, but as her guardian, can't you even offer an apology?"

Upon hearing this, Miss Cat seemed to reconnect after logging off, and her eyes gradually regained their focus.

She looked at Ji Yi: "Do you still want to play?"

"I'm not playing anymore, but since they're all real people, it's still a little hard to accept."

As he spoke, Ji Yi pulled out a gleaming axe from his person.

Snapped! ! !
With a single axe blow, Xiao Ji's head split open like a watermelon.

"Ahhhh!!!!"

"Murder!! Run!!"

The burly man froze as blood splattered all over his face.

He simply couldn't believe how things had gotten to this point. Was it because murder is not illegal due to mental illness that this man could commit such a heinous crime?

Customers and waiters jostled to get to the door, but somehow, a woman's figure, holding a katana, suddenly appeared at the only exit.

brush--

As the blade flashed, a head fell to the ground.

"Those who leave will die."

Miss Cat swung her katana, and blood splattered everywhere.

Upon seeing this, everyone instinctively covered their heads and squatted down.

"Why? Why would you do something so cruel?!"

An old woman let out a mournful cry.

"Why? Haha."

Ji Yi chuckled, raised her hand and pressed it against the foreman's head, forcefully turning his head so that he would look at Ji Yi, whose head was bruised and battered.

"Take another good look. Is this deceased Xiao Ji really the Xiao Ji you remember?"

Upon hearing this, the foreman, enduring the discomfort of bloodshot eyes, forced them open and saw...
That was a terrifying monster, and it was wearing Xiao Ji's clothes!
"You betrayed humanity, but you seem to have forgotten about it. Why don't I help you remember?"

Ji Yi raised the axe, a hint of pity lingering in his cruel gaze:
"What a pity, monsters and ghost stories are different, you..."

"Hopeless."
